T HE day before Christmas.
Why don’t you make it one of
rest, Joel, and begin the new
one fresh and ready and
bright Vor the work before you?”
The Rev. Joel Brlerly regarded his
estimable better half with smiling
thoughtfulness. “It happens to be a
day when both of us must live up to
Imperative duty, dear,” he replied.
“Ther^ flr^ the Mason
iave placed the two older ones with
some very good people. The little girl
of four and the boy of six, however,
are still in need of a home. I have
been thinking; suppose you see if you
cannot find some one to adopt the girl
and I will do the same for the boy.”
‘‘Who are we ever going to get to
take them?” inquired Mrs. Brierly,
growing fussy and excited.
“I shall tru§t your busy and sensible
mind to enlist the interest of some of
your charitably inclined lady friends,”
answered Mr. Brierly gallantly. “I
will undertake trying to Influence
some benevolent husband or father.”
So, with holiday cheer warming his
hqnest heart, the best liked ministei
Paxton ever had started forth on his
mlssoo. Before doing so, however, he
sat down on the porch for a quarter
of an hour compiling a list of pos
sible “prospects.” Thomas Dalrymple,
the village magnate, was among them,
and he listened with apparent Interest
to the minister’s story of how four
children had been left homeless and
penniless through the death of their
mother, a poor widow.
“Tell you,” said Mr. Dalrymple, “mj
wife is au Invalid and any variation
in our regular life would greatly die
turb her. I shall be only too glad tc
Join in a fund to provide for the can
of one of the children at some school
or institution.” --
“We have none here adaptable lo
cally," demurred Mr. Brierly, ^^d ]
promised Mrs. Mason that I would ex
ert supervision and care over her llttl«
ones until -they. weee aMe to take-cart
of themselves.”
Levi Brodle, a well-to-do merchant
turned out also a disappointment.
.Two more calls, further excuses
and Mr. Brierly entered the offlct
blame, of censure, for Mnrv, but he
pathetically destpibed the. torlornness
of the dull, uneventful life they led.
“Maybe It’s because we are growing
old,” he sighed. “We don’t seem to
have any mutual interests any more.
The house is as grim and silent ns ’a
jail, with tlie children all gone. I find
Mary sitting alone crying, and I’d like
to myself when she forgets to kiss me
good-by as she used to do mornings,
when I would start out for the day.”
"Why, you persistent pessimist 1”
Mr. Bflerly 1 , . u you two people
are in the very prime of life and ought
to be happy as the day is long. You
talk about there being no more Christ
mas or New Years for you!
“Rouse up, John Dallas! what you
want is something to interest you. to
break the dull monotony in your quiet
life, and, happily, I am the very man
who can suggest to you how you are
going to do it.”
John Dallas regarded his' visitor
hopefully, almost pleadingly. "If you
will follow my advice,” continued Mr.
Brierly, “you will bring into.your home
tonight a gift for your dear wife that
will wak# up in her all the old-time
interest in the world and you.”
“I hhpe it—I long for It,” declared
Dallas eagerly. ■

block of the town in quest of No. f
on his list, to find the object of his
visit absent for the holidays. He was
somewhat weary from his useless
traipp, and as he passed the office oi
: John Dallas, who dabbled in real es
tate, he saw its tenant staring gloomily
out of the window. Now the thought
never occurred to Mr. Brierly that
here might be a possible benefactor.
John Dallas was gray-and grizzled. He
had changed a good deal of late years,
and all his old-time cheeriness seemed
to have vanished after his children
had grvwn up and married and went
away. The clergyman had heard that
Dallas and his wife lived a lonely and,
it was slid, rather unhappy life. Dal
las looked it as he greeted his chance
visitor.
“Just dropped in to rest for a min
ute or so,” announced the latter. “How
are you getting along, Mr. Dallas?”
“Poorly, poorly, sir,” replied Dallas
dejectedly. He had left home that
morning wretchedly dissatisfied. In-
.sensibly since the youngest and last
of the family brood had chosen a wife
and had settled in another section of
the country, like himself, Mrs. Dallas
had changed greatly, and the holiday
season as it came around seemed al
most unbearable.
The two would sit evenings amid
a loneliness that really placed them
as far apart as If they were separated
by lllumltable space.
John Dallas opened his soul to the
broad-minded, genial souled minister
who had looked to the spiritual wel
fare of his family for over a quarter
of century. He had not one word oi
;“There Is the Preeent I Have Brotrgh*
You.”

and fervently grasped the hand of hit
friend And adviser. There was a new
born light in his rugged face.
“Bring along the lad as soon as yot
like,” he said. “It won’t be my fauli
that he doesn’t have a pleasant home
and I hope Mary will say the same,’
and just after noon Mr. Brierly ap
peared with the little outcast.
“Mr. Brierly says you are to be mj
new father,” prattled the bright facet
little fellow, running up to Mr. Dallas
“and Won’t you please take me to mj
new mamma?”
Not within five years had the old
time cheering, winning smile deepenec

"Mary,” he said, and his voic«
showed deep emotion, “I’ve got some

turn over a new leaf.”
“How strangely you talk!” spokt
Mrs. Dallas. “Aren’t you a pretty good
man as it is?”
“Why, you think that?” floundered
John, all taken aback by the sudden
and Inexplicable change In his wife
who seemed bubbling over with extrr.
ordinary animation. “Anyhow, ^lary.
I’m going to think more after this ot
your needs and wishes, and I have a
present for you which I hope will give
you very much pleasure.”
“Oh, John!” interrupted Mary tu
multuously, “it seems as if everything
good and grand Is happening all at
once. Come In, I want to show you
something,” and she seized his arm,
hurried him into the sitting rootn, and
there, lying asleep on the couch, was
a lovely little girl of four—Benny’s
sister. . .
“It was that kind hearted Mrs.
Brierly, the minister’s wife, who came
to see me this morning,” explained
Mary. “She’s given us the dear little
child for all our own. Oh! think of It,
John, and—what was that?”
It was the little lad left on the
porch, who had discovered the family
cat and w’as talking to and petting it.
"Mary,” said John, as they went out
side, “it seems a double gift day, all
around. There is the present I have
brought you—If two ain’t too much.
I say, the more the merrier.”
“Are you my new mamma?” prat
tled Benny, running up to Mrs. Dallas,
who gathered him up in her arms.
“Yes, you sweet dear!” she cried,
and, the tears rolling down her face,
sl^e kissed her husband first on one
cheek and then on the other. “Oh,
John!” ahe sobbed, “I gm a happy,
happy woman, indted, upon this glad
Christmas eve!”
