/ prove to be Of great benefit to the
transportation lines themselves in
that it would form forum for the
discussion and settlement of all diff

A great many subjects were sug

enthusiastic as to its possibilities.
Another meeting will be held in the

Tne warning voice came out or the
void, like the voice Of the angel who
spoke to Abraham on the mountain
top. Perhaps 1t was only the cry Of his
own consciousness, made audible by
his Imagination. But he heard It dis
hnctly. A revulsion OF feeling swept
over him.
"Oh, not that, not that. thank Cod
he murmured.
He put the weapon back In the draw
er and went out into the kitchen,
where Grace was dressing the Christ
mas turkey.
"Five years will soon pass" he said
cheerfully, "and there will be gen.
erous allowance for good conduct

do, and the life will be bearable, no
doubt. Let US meet the future bravely,
dear heart God will not fail to send
us comfort And you-you dear, brave
little woman--you will get along some
how We have friends yet, thank
heaven"
1t was the first time he had ventured
to speak Of the life In prison. and she
was comforted to know that he took
SO brave view. That night they slept,
and the next day their Christmas din
ner was an occasion of Joy to the chill
dren, and the parents, thankful to be
together. simulated cheerfulness that
almost deceived one another.
1t was late In the afternoon that a
large number Of their nelghbors came
trooping In with words of love and
sympathy and encouragement. They
promised to look after Grace and the
children. and when John got back
they spoke Of It as II he were going
only on little journey--they declared
that the village would be at the train
with band to receive him
"You will be a convict, but not a
criminal. John. said the leading mer.
chant warmly you can step into the
best job in my store the day after you
get home promise you that and call
upon these nelghbors to witness It,"
John Anstruther rose to reply, but
before be could speak the door was
opened aud blue coated messenger
boy appeared with a telegram. An
struther tore 1t open with shaking fn-
gers.
"The governor has signed your un.
conditional pardon as a Christmas gift
to your wife and babies He did 1t as

kilograms from hundreds Of men
throughout the state who know you
are an honest man. Congratulations"

What Christmas Day
Brought the Convict

TT was late in the afternoon Of the
day before Christmas. To the
woman who waited for news and
yet dreaded Its coming 1t was the
closing Of the longest. wretchedest,
dreariest day that she had ever known.
She had been advised not to hope, yet
she clung to hope, feeling that II she
gave up entirely she must die. If the
worst came she must live for the sake
Of the children, who were too young
to know Of the shadow that clouded
their lives.
Often and often the woman went to
the window and looked out at the
dreary street. Once when boy came
down the walk with the blue uniform
of a telegraph messenger she clutched
at her throat and uttered a little moan
Of despair.
"Wha's matter, mammal" asked the
little girl that clung to her skirts. The
woman could not reply until after the
messenger had passed her gate. Then
she caught the child In her arms and
covered its face with kisses. Hope
once more revived in her heart.
When she went to the window again
the woman looked out and saw her
husband coming. In the wave Of Joy
that surged over her she did not no

Good Old Santa Goes
To Many Odd Places

" OOD old Santa Claus looks in
upon pretty nearly everybody
at Christmas time. and the fes-
tival of which he Is patron Ia
celebrated in some very odd ways and
out Of the way places In our country.
At Ellis island, in the harbor of New
York. on Christmas day several hun
dred children. with their parents,
usually await debarkation on the
shores of America. There is a null
titude of German kinder" Of Italian
'bambinos" and of youngsters Of
every nationality. as much interested,
all Of them. in Christmas doings as
any Yankee young folks could possibly
be. 1t is indeed an occasion Of great
excitement for them. inasmuch as the
missionary societies have provided for
these humble aliens a wealth Of good
cheer. and. with the help of donations
made for the purpose, the day is rem
dered joyful for all, both young and
old. toys being plentifully distributed
among the little ones.
The loneliest places in the world are
some Of the lighthouses which our
government maintains along the coast
for the protection of mariners. Yet
Santa Claus finds his way to them,
and in his honor a feast, even though
1t be a humble one, is held. 1t may
be that the barren rock which the
lighthouse marks affords room enough
for the keeping Of dozen chickens,
the fattest of which are suitably sacri-
feed.
But even this is not practicable in
such a spot as Boon island, off the
coast Of Maine, dangerous bit Of
terra firma which is continually swept
by the waves Only a few years ago,
so the story goes, little girl four
years Of age, daughter Of the keeper
of Boon light, was so distressed be-
cause her father had been prevented
by continual storm from going to the
mainland for the customary Christmas
goose that she stole out of the light
house at night and knelt in sheltered
spot to pray.
Dear Cod" she said, "please send
us a goose for our Christmas dinnerW
Hardly had she spoken the words
when a great wild goose flew (as some
times happens in such places against
the big lantern above and fell dead at
her feet, to be promptly carried in and
presented to the family as bird lit

among the choir boys, the rest forming
