In striking contrast TO our own is
the Christmas Day kept by our kins-
folk in Australasia. No snow or blaZ-

bright sky. green trees. parched grass,
and blazing sun. Christmas is so
inseparably associated by US with a
cosy seat in front Of roaring fire

sighed deeply. She had altered his life
when she changed her mind at the

He recalled the jeers Of his boyhood

rough witticisms at him. 1t was the

But nowhere was George White,
the old agent? A young man filled
his place. The driver of the stage
was another stranger. Old Eb Brown
was also a thing Of the past.
None knew the portly middle.aged
man as he strobe towards the coach
that piled between station and town.
There was moments pause, while
the driver gathered the mail, as old
Eb had done so many times, and they

As the rig ratified over the rough
roads the man within watched with
interest the scenes Of his youth. The
town had changed little In the years
that had passed.
When the coach paused at the old
homestead the mans eyes filled with
tears. A woman came from the house;
mother and son we're in each others

On the porch stood his father TO
welcome the man home With misty
eyes the united family stood. All
hearts we're full The parents hopes

as the old folks hustled about. trying
to make him comfortable.
