""Christmas is for happy and rich peo- of

His dark humor did not escape the ho]

his lowly hut. She sent the children spo
to amuse him, and soon saw rim lib*
smile as he listened to their prattle.
As the evening wore on the storm m0

Now, Eudes had a great deal o' ?

stood a stately old man, beautiful t( %

"Welcome, old man," said the

"I thank thee, my son.' My bless- rou

like soothing music.
