As he dressed that morning before tke festive holiday he realized that the bus.an heart cannot be denied its susâ€" tenanceâ€"one beating in touch and sympathy with itâ€"and that one fair girl had woven her charms about him so completel;y rhat he could no longer refrain from telling her of it, even though of late she had rather seemed to avoid him when he crossed her path ing when and where she was needed. Though of different faiths, she and John Hare met often while on excurâ€" slons of mercy, He had seen her, too, at herâ€"father‘s home, where he was popular as a dinner guest because of his appreciation of a good cigar and his broad, forceful views on Christianâ€" ity. . This energetic, but rather shy, young woman : was famed and loved among the poor and sick of Spottsfield for her 5entle and unpretentious way of helpâ€" many poor to a great family interested in each other and respecting his Christâ€" like prineiples. And incidentally his strict resolution for a busy bachelorâ€" hood had been somewhat disturbed by a pair of interested, laughing eyes which belonged to the daughter of a factory owner. This young rector had come to Spottsfield, a rising manufacturing city, three years before, after serving as curate in a large city parish. IHe had transformed his new congregation from a disgruntled, quarreling comâ€" munity composed of a few rich and His eye caught the picture of a girl‘s face, gentle eyed, yet cheery, hanging in a frame on his wall. "And if there‘s any persuasion in John Hare‘s poor eloquence he won‘t have a cheerless nor a lonely Christmas the next 25th of December." "Ugh!"‘ said John Hare as the sound of his own voice wakened him and he sat up in ‘bed. "What an ugly nightâ€" mare!‘ ‘Then, with a look at his watch, "It is high time I was up any way, with fifty parochial visits before me. I must make sure that not a single family has a cheerless Christmas toâ€" morrow." Har:g performed his mission, acâ€" comp:!uied by the two men, he was passing a clump of trees on his way home when one of them stopped sudâ€" denly and, pulling a long bladed knife from his pocket, flashed it before the young rector‘s face and instantly pointâ€" od it toward his heart. He uttered a piercing shriek. IN HER PLACE SAT A GIRLISH FIGURZ. from any other dwellings and lighted by one small lamp which sont its rays through the narrow window, he folâ€" lowed the men through the door into a barely furnished room. On a cot in the corner lay a child, small and wasted, marked with death‘s stamp, and beside her sat the weeping mothâ€" er. Some strange mystery haunted the room. What were these poverty stricken people trying to conceal? ‘The clergyman shook off the feeling and opened his prayer book at the bapâ€" tismal service. In less than five minutes the young rector was. @ressed and back to the men, whom he bad left sitting in the hall, and the three started out. ‘The trip to the outskirts of the city through dark and strange streets was anytliing but pleasant.

A The real amount of cash money paid out in the United States alone for toys that on Christmas morning gladden the bearts of American children is conâ€" servatively estimated at $8,000,000. This means about 60 cents apiece for the something like 13,000,000 of five to twelve year old children. The children of no other country on the globe have anything like so lavish an average amount of money expended for toys for them, not even the children of Gerâ€" manyâ€"Germany, the home of toymakâ€" ing and toy giving. Verily, indeed, the lot of the American child has been cast in the richest sort of clover when it comes to toy getting and not a few othâ€" er things in the bargain.â€"Cincinnati Enguirer. She smiled up into his eyes and held out both hands. "The knife is in your hand. If you cannot love me, your ‘No‘ will be the deathblow to my hopes and ambiâ€" tions." John Hare paused, holding her with hlsiqtrong magnetic gaze, it was to recount his nightmare with its realistic reproduction up to the point where he had found her beside the dying child. "And the knife aimed at your beart â€"that must have been a dreadful dream!" So the dying baby received the blessâ€" ing of the church, and as the sun rose between two distant hills the child passed into its Saviour‘s arms. Two hbearts were peaceful from a sense of finished duty. Unconsciously radiant with joy at being together, the man and the girl passed from the low roofed cottage into the clear frosty gir of the blue canopied earth with its fresh carâ€" peting of pure white snow. A Christ mas happiness such as they had never known before illuminated the world for these two alone in the snow clad woods, It was some time before the young rector felt inclined to speak, and then "inank you so much for coming." said a soft voice, and the Ruth of his day dreams lifted her eyes to his with a wistful, shy glance of comfort and relief. "The mother uever would have been consoled for her neglect in not having had her child baptized, and I felt so sure you would come, even though it was at this late hour." Entering the house behind the larger man, he looked instantly toward the corner for the cot and the child. They were there! The thin face of the child showed the same pallor of death, but the mother was not in the chair beside the bed. In her ninace sat A #irlich feâ€" ger youngster was awake examining Santa Claus‘ gifts. Then the houses became dark, and the three men trudgâ€" ed on through the gently falling snow. HMare‘s questions received but curt, abrupt answers,, while the memory of his grewsome dream grew clearer with each step of the long dark walk till he reached the identical cottage of his nightmare, with one light shining through the window. A»â€"suggestion of cold perspiration stood on his forchead and a shiver ran down his spine as he thought of the sinister group and the suspicious and foreboding glances of the men in that dim scene which he had passed through before so realisâ€" tically. # weCâ€"LB Again pushing aside the warning of his apparition, the rector incased himâ€" self in warm overcoat and arctics and, locking the door behind him, bade the men lead the way. For several blocks an occasional house showed lights from top to bottom or a stray light in the seecnd story gave evidence that an eaâ€" "I‘m Mr. Hare. Where is your baâ€" by?" In a harsh voice the larger of the two men mentioned the outskirts of the city, where the houses were small and low and widely scattered. the hands on the old fashioned clock pointing to 1. "Bir, we‘ve come to get Mr. Hare. The baby‘s dying, and my wife wants a minister," announced one of the two men who stood on the step facing the tired rector. The memory of his vivid nightmare had not recurred to him since the mornâ€" ing, but at the words "baby‘s dying" it it all flashed before his mind, and he hesitated an instant with some misgivâ€" ings. Quickly pulling himself together and throwing off the vision, he exâ€" claimed: Jumping at a Conclusion, Devonshire‘s Yule Log. It was 10 o‘clock before the rector had finished the day‘s task, and when he reached chome he threw himself, quite worn out, on the couch in the liâ€" brary.
