why, bless you 2 fairly shouted
the doctor 'they are right here "
Harold Bruce wayered against the
wall for support. Mrs. Bruce uttered
wild scream. Across the threshold
from the porch there rushed little
Eta and her brother. Joy, delight,
ecstasy mitigated the shock Of what at
first stunned the frantic parents as an
appearance from the dead.
"And last, but not least, she whose
mission in life seems ever to be to
bring healing and happiness and love,
and peace to all those who are dear to
her!" in a gently reverent tone con
tinued Doctor Merritt, and with SUI
preme satisfaction The young physician
viewed the five reunited ones in a
maze Of embraces kisses and tears.
Rhoda, clinging TO Mrs. Bruce. hid her
| face in modest confusion, as Doctor
| Merritt recited her brave battle
against the elements in a great storm
upon a battered raft until she had
brought the children to safety.
"But you, Doctor Merritt?' pro-
pounded Mrs. Bruce wonderingly-
chow came you to be at Fair Villa?"

was the reply II had gone there on a
specific mission, later executed, to ask
our peerless Rhoda. queen o. all wom-
ankind,. to become my wife, and as
Rhoda extended her hand he covered
| It with kisses and pressed it to his
happy, happy heart.
IF there was a mistletoe here
would march you two promptly under
it," threatened Mrs. Bruce, immersed
In thrilling Joy and gratitude.
'"There shall be one before Christ.
mas morning arrives!" cried Doctor
Merritt in tones that rang out like a
cheer. "C0me, Bruce, you and I on a
hunt for Santa Claus and the choicest
gifts he can bestow, Oh! nowhere in
the world, and never to any others,
has there come happier. merrier
Christmas than the one we shall cele-

back when Harold Bruce had come
home from the funeral of his mother,
bringing with him a wistful-eyed, sad
faced mite of girl. 49,.
Laura" he said to his wife, ''this is
Rhoda Marsh, a poor orphan child
whom my mother adopted, who has
given her the tenderest care to the last
hour Of, her life and was blessing to
her old age. She is left without
home. Should we give her one?"
1--WE should, and we SHALL" came the
quick reply, as Mrs. Bruce gazed into
the earnest, longing eyes of the girl of
fourteen, and read there truth and in
nocence and a soulful appeal to all
that was maternal and sympathizing
In her nature. +
1t proved to be wise and fortuitous
choice. AS the children came along
Rhoda proved to them a true and low
ing sister nurse and friend.
Then came a test of the fidelity and
self sacridce of the girl just merging
into young womanhood. Both of the
children were taken down with dan
gerous contagious malady. The house
was quarantined. Rhoda braved the
perils Of infection. Day and night she
was the constant attendant of Don
and Eta. She found so sure loving
place In the hearts of those she had
benefited, that her eyes beamed with
JOY and happiness whenever she was
In their presence.

denizens, Harold Bruce
and his wife, Laura, sat. They were
awaiting the arrival of a taxicab or
dered in time to catch an evening train
for the South. Both were somber-
faced and wearied of mien. They had
not spoken for some time, for it was a
situation where words meant nothing.
The wife never lifted her tear-stained
eyes, the husband wore a set express
sion upon his face as though exerting
the. utmost will power to repress the
poignant emotion which consumed him.
Without, joyous shouts echoed, the
sound of merry sleigh bells tinctured
the air with Christmas eve fervor, and
the contrast of this long-anticipated
holiday presentation with what they
had hoped and planned for, wrenched
their souls to the point of anguish.
Their lives desolated beyond repair,
poignant memories ever present, they
scarce dared to rest their glance upon
the portraits of two smiling, happy
faces looking down from a heavily
framed picture. for only that morning
they had received the terrible news
that the originals, their only chill
dren, Don, aged six, and Eta, two
years his junior, had been victims,
with many others, of disaster by
cyclone and flood that had devastated
the district where they had their win

All they knew was that the pretty
bungalow and many others, with their
occupants, had been swept away, and
hundreds were said to have persisted,
and no word had been received as to
the fate of their two little ones, nor Of
Rhoda Marsh, who had them in charge.
Rhoda Marsh had come into their
thoughts almost as frequently as little
Eta and her brother. Each recalled
