They all piled out and followed the broken sidewalk up to the dwelling. ' Come in," answered a cheery but quavering voice when they knocked. So they entered in the dusk. It was a bare room, with a few old-fashioned pictures in walnut frames on the walls, some archaic furniture of the same period, and a rag carpet itself reduced to its original material. Not far from the window stood the celebrated leather rocker, with a cane close at hand. In the chair sat a little old woman, with her face smiling hap pily under unkept gray hair. Her face was white, her wrinkles were many, but her eyes shone with the real Christ mas light.

"I Car.'t See What Has Happened" duly presented ,at the hour of its ar rival that afternoon. It had been ar ranged that it was to be delivered whilo all the young folks were there, as a sort of surprise extra offering. . But, as the afternoon wore on, the face of the chairman of the delegation, who was to make the presentation speech, grew longer and longer. "I can't see what lias happened," he said in confidence to a group of the f ; 'WS, when an opportunity for con fidence's arrived, "and why that darned chair doesn't come." "Aro you sure ycu gave them the right number, and everything?" some one asked. "Sure 87 Elm street West. That's simple enough.'-' It "must have been five o'clock when onci ' ot the boys had an inspiration. To you suppose by any chance that chair was delivered to 872 Elm street KitV" he asked. At last here was a clue; and the chairman a chairman without a chair, and, a r.- -appointed research commit tee cf tLi-ee, loaded themselves into a car, fitter making unbelievable ex cuses to the bride and groom, and speeded tway across town in pursuil thank you, I want to thank you all, and every one of you, for the lovely present you sent me, and for remem berm' an old woman like me. When it come, and I read the card, 'From the boys of the old town,' the boys of the boys I used to know, for I guess I knew all your fathers, I told them to put it here, and I would set in it and wait until you come. Aint you Will Stearns?" "Yes," stammered the chairman, quite undecided what to say or do. "I thought so. My, how you favor your father! And I was at your christenih'. I guess that was about the last time I was anywhere when my rheumatiz got so bad. And your father would 'a' been proud of you this daj'. If he could known what you was goin' to do for an old friend of his, God rest him !" At the mention of his father, the chairman was astonished to find his hat still on his head. He pulled it off, hurriedly, ashamed. Then through that head went flitting first a quick memory of his father and then the most astonishing thing in the world his carefully-prepared speech to the bride. He had said it over so many times to himself in secret that after noon, to make sure he would not break down when the moment came, that now everything else seemed to have van ished. Then an even more astonishing thing happened. It astonished him, and it quite paralyzed the other young men. That presentation speech, altered by but a word here and there as he stum bled and steered away from the inap propriate phrase, came falling from his lips. "And for many a year," he finished, "may you sit by your own fireside as the shadows of life lengthen, with this chair to give you comfort and to re mind you of the boys of the old towV There was nothing for the rest to do but applaud that speech, to wish "Merry Christmas!" over and over, to bend the head for that venerable "God bless you !" and to go quietly away. The car was turned westward again before any man spoke a 'word. Then it was Will Stearns: "Well, what do you know about that?" "There's nothing for them now, but we can scare up something tomorrow and say nothing about this," said an other. But someone told one of the girls who knew all about the chair, and at the collation the whole story came out. Will Stearns was even made to stand up and give that speech. And the bride declared, and, bless her dear heart ! everybody believed her, that she wtis glad it had turned out just the way it did. Somebody remembered the old lady's name, and then somebody else remem bered that it was said that her father was the man who planted those elms on Elm street in the early days ol the town. The bride announced that she -was going over to see the dear old , soul. She did go, and often, and her nurs ing did much to ease that rheumatiz. When Harry and Harriet moved intc the big house they now occupy, a papei circulated among the old residents bought the bungalow at a bargain price. There the pioneer was moved by "the boys of the old town," where she could be under the, shade of the elms her father planted. There, foi she wa3 a wonderfully spry old lady, she may be living to this day. . ' MS eg Kg ice Christmas Message. "Fear not; for, behold, I. bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." "Glory to God in the high est, and on earth peace, good will toward men." "The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliver ance to captives, and recov ery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." This is a day for magnify ing the blessings of peace, not selfishly, but with the re joicing that should attend the reminder that we have a cure for the troubles of the world and a part in the spreading of the remedy. Let the songs of joy be carried into every corner of gloom. If peace is to achieve victory, its spirit of gladness must be irrepressible. No less today than two thousand years ago is it the mission of peace to show by example that in good will alone lies the happiness of the people.

The deepest spirit of the Christmas outpouring that flows over the Chris tian world is the impulse for human service that runs through the whole year. It is easy to give recklessly out of one's abundance, or even to share care fully one's pittance. sThe distribution of Christmas dinners through hun dreds of self-denying families means a day's happiness for the giver and re ceiver. But it is greater happiness to both to follow through the year with aid to self-dependence, encouragement to hope, and support in striving for better living. This is the giving of self, and they who know how to give of themselves wisely are the highest givers. The best feature of Christmas is its ma terial expression of a whole year of human service that runs like a thread through human lives. Only these holiday glimpses reveal to the careless how many are dedi cated to a share in this unobtrusive service to the humbly striving and to the uncomplaining needy; how many families are under constant stimulus to the best sort of self-help ; how many children are being quietly led to a higher level of l.'ving and striving for themselves between Christmas and Christmas.
