" VEN the little old basement din

festive appearance Christmas
morning. Ii was rather cold
and the furnace was in It's usual stat,
mf coy reserve, but Farley had stucl
Molly and evergreen around the OF
paintings Of garnshed fish and High
land Cattle" and each table had 9
brave sprlg of mistletoe tied with Grim
son and green ribbon laid beside eacl
plate. That was Beth's special offer
ing.
AS each member OF the household
came in the greetings were hearty ans
quite satisfactory, even to Beth She
had not thought the experiment would
bring out even that much fellowship
and good will from the silent, selfab-
sorbed crowd at Mrs. Forbes.
She put the prettiest bunch OF all
aud card of Christmas cheer beside
Mr.. Benchley's plate. Poor, gr0uchy
old ScotchmGn, nobody ever had
good word for him. In all the months
thnt she had been an inmate of the
Forbes domlcile she couldn't remember
that anyone had ever given him even
pleasant greeting He came down
stairs 10 breakfast late and always
grumbllng, grumbled at his food, which
Carrie the cOlored maid, slid across
the table at him. grumbled at the fur
mace and weather and the mailman,
at the hoarders and Mrs. Forbes and
life In general.
But Beth liked him best OF all. That
morning She had found outside her
door box of fresh yiolets and book
abe had been wishing for inscribed
nom her sincere friend, Alan Farley.
1t was the book more than the lnscrip-
zion that showed the thoughts of the
siver, for IL was named "4'he Well Be-
loved" AZ Beth glanced through it
She had smiled remembering verse
ulnt Alan liked to repeat from Mrs.
Browning:

found him bending over the Old
man, tending him like an experienced
nurse.
ITS only an attack OF acute indiges-
ton" he told her. 'He1 be all right.

Mt her, and Mr.. Benchley groaned and
turned over to see who had come In.

The Gift Divine
Ry WIN. BRADFORD DICKSON

At this fair Christmastde,
When JOY bells ring out
The song of plenty and ring in
The reign of peace throughout
This wonderful land of ours
Tho while across the sea
Old Mother Earth Is drenched with blood
And hate and carnage reign supreme:
While stockings wall for milk
And children faint for lack OF food;
While strong men fan beside the way
And homeless women kneel in prayer
do not ask for gifts
OF frankincense and myrrh,
or gold, OF Ophir or OF either Ind.
or jewels rare or priceless merchandise.
or marble halls or vast estates,
Nor cen the costly homage of mankind:
But this
IL
That I may give each day full need
Unto the willing mind and heart,
OF light OF Truth and warmth OF Love,
OF matchless skill in comforts art
That magic all Transforming touch
Which heals the leper's spots
And turns to naught the wounds and
scars
Deep scared upon the heart of man
On life's great battlefield
That | may bind earth's broken hearts,
Lifting up the dropping heads
OF the oppressed and burdened ones.
A deeper longing for the Right
or mercy for the hapless weak
And those who suffer daily throes
OF hunger, pain, disease, neglect;
That I may know forgetfulness
For daily sights and wrongs;
That | may hourly grow
In love of liberty, of friend and foe.
And all the world
May grow in love-a fruitful love
For all the beauty and true
In nature art, the heavenly realm
And for the noble deeds OF all mankinds
That I may fill the widening hours OF
life
With courage. cheerfulness. and hope;
That I may help my fellow man
Behold the dawn beyond the night.
The gentle calm beyond the storm.
These are the gifts crave
Above the blind worlds treasure trove
OF gaud and gilt.
Who gives his better self the whole year
through
Gives lte's own priceless gift to all the
world and you-the gift divine.
