one feature incidental to the winter
warfare which will grieve all those
who love to tour the old French coun-

need of firewood is very pressing. and
as there is no coal available, the trees
are being ruthlessly sacrificed.

The Heart OF Violet Lee
BY MAE CosTLEIGH.

In a lonely village there dwelt a
little girl and her mother. Her name
was Violet Lee. She was very pretty
and everyone admired her. Her
sparkling eyes and her nice ways
brought her many friends. She lived
very happily with her mother, who
took great care of her for fear any
evil should befal her.
One cold night she was sent TO the
store to purchase few articles. The
store was two miles from home. Her
only escort was a large white dog,
who was called Shepp. 1t was a long
walk for her. but she didn't seem to
mind 1t.
After a long walk, which was a
weary one, she reached the store and
made her purchase and started for
home. On her way It started to snow,
so she hurried on more rapidly.
1t was the night before Christmas.
and she was very happy She was
thinking of Saint Nick and his tiny
reindeer.
Just as she was thinking Of Saint
Nick the dog ran across the field and
stood In one spot and barked. Violet
called him, but he did not come. She
went over to see what annoyed him.
And there. lying on the ground, was
q little boy, half frozen. She knew
that something was wrong, SO she
rubbed his hands and faea and In Q

few moments he opened his eyes.
Violet took off her coat and wrapped
it around him; then she set him upon
Shepp's back and they went home.
Mother was waiting anxiously for
her little daughter to return. Then
she looked up the road and saw her
coming. She was surprised to see a
little boy with her.
The girl told her mother the whole
story.
Mother dear took him in and sat
him beside the fireplace; then she
gave him a bowl of bread and milk.
He sat there for a while and his
form seemed to be growing larger.
grew larger and fatter, and he turned
out TO be Saint Nick. He told her
that he had taken the form of little
boy so as to test Violet's kindness.
In a few moments he vanished. That
night Saint Nick and his tiny rein
deer scampered over houses, dropping
a present down each chimney. When
he came to Violets house he dropped
a large parcel down the chimney.
The next morning when she awoke
she found a beautiful doll sitting
under the tree. 81 wonder who sent
this?" she said, but In her heart she
knew 1t was Saint Nicholas. oh. how
thankful she was for this good gift.
That night she offered up prayer
TO Saint Nick and thanked him for
this gift. He gladly accepted it from
the heart OF Violet Lee
