"1 haven't kept

The visitor, who

their lives, nhe j
was lonely and
desolate.
"" Mlna Dare col
ored ftllghtly, aud,
n?-?mlnf to think
some explanation
was necessary,
added: "Wb had
only been married a year, and on
Christmas day he ? he was killed to
an accident." Even after the lapse
of aeven years she could scarcely
speak with calmness of that dreadful
catastrophe which had robbed her llfa
of all Mght and Mat. "Since then,"
she west on, after a moment's pause,
"I hare never kept Christmas at all;
I couldn't."
Mt?T Ancruin. the eaHefi sympa
thized. albeit she thought her hostess
morbid and aelf-lndulaent.
"But atlll? *ha religion* part ef
Christmas day?"., she ventured.
Mrs. Dare shook her head. "We
had been to church In the morning,"
she said, brokenly. "No ? Christmas
day has nothing but pslnful memories
for me."
? Miss Alteram spoke a few kindly
words, then passed on to oiher things
?lust before taking her leave she ven
tured. half timidly: "I wonder If I
could ask you to help mo on Christ

with thenf. In helping others her own
grief seemed to be soothed ; and she
proved herself an admirable assistant..
After the dinner there was an enter
tainment ? magic lantern, singing and
playing. Mrs. Dare both played and
sang well, and became a huge favor
ite, singing pretty nursery ballads, to
the delight of the youAgsteri. andlfr
companylng other singers. But when
at last the children filed out, cheering
end singing, and Miss Antrum began,
to thank her helpers. Mlna Dare he'd
up her band. "Don't tj^nk me," ahe
said. "You oughrto\rebuke me that
I have never before thought of help
ing to make others happy, whateve#
I might feel myself. I have born
hjppy to-day; all my heart was in Hk
work. I have been selfish ? very)
Christmas which I hope may serve roe,
not at Christies* time only, but
throughout the year."
Mlaa Ancrum clasped the speaker's
hand warmly in her own. "We ha-e
Christ's own promise." ahe aald, aoft
"th*t whoso ministers to his little

Mlna s eyes tilled with tears of hap
plness and her pretty face flushed as
she turned to go to her home. All the
way through the snowy streets she
murmured Joyfully to herself: "in
