Besides, she thought, she really
ought to go In; and say q little pray
er for her mother, =
She opened the huge door of the
cathedral, slipped Rnietly fnto a
seat Of the large church and prayed
fefVently for her mother and little
sisters; prayed, too, that she might,
somehow, be able to. buy them a
cake for Christmas i A.
The heat of the church after the
intense cold outside made her
drowsy. She went fast to sleep and
let her head fall heavily against the
shoulder Of a man sitting next to
her.
The man was an American. He
was at first annoyed when he saw
the little towseled head with its
dirty cap against his coat sleeve,
but on second glance at the pathetic
little figure he was overcome with
genuine emotion. Poor little DEVIL"
he thought, wonder what's been
Your short history and what will 1t
be in the future.' He saw in her
dirty little hands the strings of
medals and the box Of holy cards
she had been trying to sell. He
reached into his pocket, pulled out
two crisp 1000 0-franc notes, folded
them carefully and placed them ON
top of the cards.
Almost everyone had left the
church when Juliette wakened.
Mass was over; all the candles on
the altar had been extinguished,, the
lights of the church were being put
out, Juliette rubbed her eyes drowsi-
ly and with start counted her
medals to see that no one had taken
any while she slept. They were all
quite safe. She next turned to her
box of cards and her eyes became
two large moons. 1.-TWO thousand
francs, two thousand francsls She
couldn't, believe it. 1t was a mir
acle! Hadn't she prayed for money
to buy her people a Christmas gift?
She knelt down again, said fer
vent prayer in thanksgiving; then
gathered all her things together and
ran quickly from the church-past
the conisserie shop. 1t was closed,
Of course, but the white cake was
still in the window. Tomorrow
morning she would go there early
and buy it-buy every good thing
in the shop. And still there would
be enough left to buy them all
clothes in the after Christmas sales
She leaped joyously in the air. She
did not feel cold now.
Merry Christmas. she called to
an old lady who passed her. MERRY
Christmas to the whole world J"

Edith looked really troubled.

on both cheeks. Am 1 foolish Tor

abruptly, clapping both hands over
her mouth while her neck and face
went scarlet.
''Whats" Edith waited, but her
sister only burst into confused
hugh. Then, "Sh-sh-sh-" she
whispered, laying finger on her
lips. Some one is at the door,"
Tripping across the room, Ina
opened with an expectant air and
took from a messenger boy large
well-filled basket, which she car
ried to the bed and set down by
Edith. There" she said, 1T is all

dering girl, shaking her head. you

answered radiant Ina with a pro-
voking little toss OF her head. Let

covering of carnations, laid them
lovingly in,Edith's lap, and delyed
into the baskets remaining con-
tents. '.'Look! Here, is a young

Ina went on, "and something had

He refused to let me have medicine

But, Ina, think of a Walton beg

begging" and the proud girls face
registered her humiliation.
''But the flowers?" Edith cues
toned. "Why the flowers? You
surely do no: consider them a grave
necessity"
For reply Ina walked around to
the table o1l which the tall vase
stood and buried her fe-ee Ap the
roses. "But they are so lovely she
said, "and I just adore fiowers!"

''Much?" Ina hesitated. eyes, they

Here is a group of new holders to
hang near the kitchen stove ready
to serve double purpose; for they
are decorative as well as useful.
They are made of gay cretonne,
showing black stripes and bright
flowers, on a white background.
Each holder is bound with braid
and has a little brass ring sewed
to one corner, to hang it by. A
small bar of wood is covered with
the cretonne and carries four small
hooks screwed into it, to support
the rings. This is a gift that eV-
