is no soil so dark that 1t will not re-

instantaneous change In the express

vincing. Christmas had come, and
again it had impressed the old. old
message of peace and good will to men,
- When the chickering's went back to

and sat in front of welcome log fire
they were conscious of wishing that
this good spirit Of Christmas might
last throughout the entire year. It
doesn't. Of course, for human nature
will be human nature while the world
lasts And they felt grateful for the

brought them, and hopeful that 1t
might linger with them for many

window. This was the plan chosen as
there was no dressing room In connec-
ton with the hall and no place where
Santa and his party could be detained
In comfort throughout the first half Of
lengthy program without being OBJ
served by all.
To climb three stories Of fire escape
on winters night with ever SO small
a bundle Is difficult enough, but to
ascend the cold iron stairway each
with large basket or bag filled with
oranges and candy, and to have to re-
plenish their supply through this same
dangerous way was almost more than
they bargained for or were, indeed,
able to do. It was work, and Captain
and Mrs. Pickering never denied 1t.
When Santa poked his bewhiskered
head through the window and dragged
his numbering bundle after him there
was hum Of suppressed voices, and
marked increase In noise and mer-
riment when Mrs. Santa appeared.
\ All the time they were distributing
candy and. fruit they were besieged
by questions from the crowd, and re-
piled with as much spirit and gaiety
as the place and the condition Of the
assembled audience would allow. It
Is but fair to say that Santa and Mrs.
Santa both enjoyed their VISIT to that
unusual places and that they fingered
longer than their snsual custom on
holiday visits.
Christmas Is. always day of joyful
interest, and Santa was glad to look
sQuarely into the faces of the many
gathered In that hall that night. In
spite of the clouds and mists Of cir
cumstances that engulfed them his
visit during that holiday season
seemed to have touched a chord that
was welcome In the memory of each.
Countenances at first hard, softened
