Old Mrs. Stevens answered her knock. ~Why, Gloria 1” she exclaimed. “That’s right—It Is Christmas, Isn’t It?” “Yes, Indeed,” Gloria replied. “Time to be merry! Now this wreath goes on the window, sol And here Is a bit ef fruit cake and some other goodies. This Is your present, and this Is Mr. Stevens’ present, and here Is some medicine for him besides. How is he today?” '’Bless your kind soul,” Mrs. Stev ens answered. “I don’t know how to FUl'eenwc'C'c'* Shep nerd's Little Boq Martha Banning Thomas thank you for all you’ve done for old folks.

When Mrs. Stevens opencil the door, he picked her up without a word and carried her into the room.

When, some time later, Gloria did leave, Jim accompanied her to her car. “I Just want to thank you for all you’ve done for them," he told her. Ton can’t think much of me, letting them down this way.

He and his mother lived In a room on the outskirts of Bethlehem, yet even here, there were winding pas sageways, frightening corners, and a wide court filled with shadows. Little Jacob was afraid, yet not afraid. The things he had seen, the things he had heard went with him; and though his small legs ached with weariness, his heart sang with a strange music. At last he reached the door of a low, white house. Softly he pushed it open and climbed the stone stairs leading to the poor room he and his mother occupied while his father watched the flocks on the hillsides. From a straw bed on the floor his mother roused herself. Little Jacob ran to her, reaching for her hand. “Mother, quick . . . come here to the window," he panted. “But I thought you would stay all night with your father. When you begged to go, you promised me,” she said. “Did you come all alone this . long distance?” she slidfok him in af fectionate reproach. He pulled at her hands. “Hurry, mother, hurry!” Reluctantly she rose from her bed and went with him to the window. Be hind them lay the flat-roofed sleeping village. Before them were a few scattered houses, then the hills and pastures for the flocks. The sky was a deep, cold blue dusted with star?. “Look, mother, look !’’ Little Jacob pointed towards the East—“See see,’It's still there!” Jacob's mother looked. She saw\a soft, trembling radiance which fell a glimmering cascade from a single] star. “What Is it?” she breathed, and instinctively snnk in her knees. Little Jacob dropped beside her. The-star shone on with a pure se renity of light different from that of the others. “While we were watching the flocks,” whispered little Jacob, “I felt something pulling at my eyellds, moth er, so that I had to open them wide . . . and I saw the star, mother, and there was music”—his voice was hushed and awed—“soft and sweet, yet everywhei^ like a straqge wind blowing . . . and then I saw white things flashing, mother, all through the light . . . and voices . . . and all the shepherds were afraid. But I wasn’t afraid. Some day I’ll slug to you what the angels sang ... I can remember It, I know. I saw the sheep kneel down, too, mother, and bow their heads , . . I had \o run home to tell you." ’ She reached out her handxto clutch his shoulder in a slow sort of wonder. "The angels sang that Christ the Lord was born, mother . . . and the music grew softer and softer^ and died away.’ Father trembled ao\he could not speak nor raise his h< I told him I must run home to yoN ... but he did not answer.” His mother's hand tightened on his shoulder. Her head waa bowed.
