Katouia knew that he was going to die. It was Christmas eve. but there was no gladness In the season for hiiu. His wife, whom he had loved very clearly, was already gone. For three consecutive years now his crops had failed. A few weeks before the wolves had devoured his last cow. If he hud been entirely alone in the x world he would have said to death, 'Come: thou art welcome!" Hut there was one other, his boy Osslp. The idea of deatli becaiiie ter rible when he thought of leaving his boy all alone with not a copeck to bless himself with. When I tell you that it takes 100 copecks to make a ruble and that a ruble is less than M) cents, you will understand how dreadfully poor Ka touia was. He could not die peacefully for think ing of Ossip's future. II is dim eyes turned fondly toward the pillow by his side, which the hoy's thick black hair almost covered. Ossip lay motionless in sleep. The sick man put one feeble hand upon his boy's smooth forehead and silently commended him to heav en's care. The house was very still. Th? hour was late. Ossip's healthy, regular breathing was the only audible sound. If only kind heaven would raise up one friend for his hoy out of the millions pf good people this big world swarmed with, Katoma felt that he should not mind how soon he was laid away un der the frozen sods. While his hand rested on Ossip's head and his heart was tilled with these anxious thoughts the door of the hovel opened softly. The moujik turned wondering eyes In that direc tion, and there, coming noiselessly to ward him across the beaten earthen floor, was a tall woman with soft brown eyes full of pitying tenderness. She came close to the bed, on Ossip's side of it, and, looking down upon the sleeping child, she muttticd: "Perhaps this is the one at last." Katoma looked at her anxiously. "Whence came you, go.jd mother, and what seek you?" Across tho sleeping boy she an swered softly: "I have come for Ossip. They told me in the village that thy days were numbered, and I knew that Ossip would need a friend. I will love and "I HAVE COME FOll OSSIT.' care for him as though he were my very own. I am called Rabouskka. and I keep my promises." Then Katoma, the tnoujik. died hap py, for he knew that liaboushka was a friend to all little children, and when she gathered Ossip close into her moth erly arms when the end came the child ceased weeping for his dead father. When Baboushka and O.-sip were well on their way to the old woman's : home, in the next village, they heard I a pitiful sound of weeping somewhere on the tree shadowed side of the road. The old woman stopped at the sound. "We will go and see who is in trou ble. Ossip. Our eyes and ears should nhvavs he kept well opened so that no sicn of distress may escape us. Viuided by the sound, they came to a stone where, wailing and shivering in the darknees of the winter night, thev found a little girl scarcely as large as Ossip. who was not at all well grown for his eight years. -Baboushka knelt down by the child and. gathering her cold little feet into a warm clasp, muttered: "Perhaps this is the child." Then she snid aloud, "What Is thj name, little one, and what doest thon here alone in the bitter nighttime?" At which the child's tears flowed afresh, and between her sobs she told the kind, soft eyed woman how she had been traveling with a great com pany of men and women who were leaving their own tillage to seeR a bet- N EST vsriff ra gKJ 1 'it.. 1VV m To By. . . $ JEANNETTE H. 19 THE W WALW0RTH t Copyright, 1909.

AhilS not been able to find her way back to the camp, and how she feared the wolves would devour her before any one should come to look for her. Then she told Baboushka that her name was Vasalissa. Baboushka clasped the little wander er to her great motherly heart. ''That, Indeed, the wolves shall not my dear little Vasalissa. I cannot give thee back to thy aunt, fcr I know no better than thou dost where this great company of men and women may be camping for the night. But thou skalt go home with Ossip and me. TIioii shalt share our fire and our porridge, and all that is mine thou shalt share with Ossip. I can keep the wolves of hunger and cold away, aud if thy aunt comes to claim thee ehe shall find thee rosy and happy." Then Vasalissa quickly dried her tears, and with her hand clasped in Baboushka's she trudged cheerfully forward until they came to a tiny little cottage set back from the road a short distance. In its one window a lamp Was burning brightly. The window aud the lamp belonged to Baboushka's cottage. She pushed its unlocked door open, and the chil dren entered with her into a clean swept, well warmed room. A large chair was drawn close up to the hearth. As Baboushka entered she glanced eagerly at this chair, and again she muttered under her breath: "I had hoped he might have o:i; while I was out." "Good mother," Ossip asked, "wi:. do you leave a lighted lamp in the win dow when you go away?" "So that," she answered, "should any one go astray in the cold and the dark he might find his way to my poor cottage. And now let us see if the bean troth has kept warm all this time. I made it before I left home in the early morning hours so that if any wander ers found their way hither they might not leave my roof hungered." The bean broth had kept warm. She bade Ossip throw a few more fagots under the pot and set Vasalissa on a stool in the warmest nook. Then she brought three bowls, filled them with the bean broth and put them o:i the table. Over them she asked a blessing. Before her own wooden spoon had made two journeys from bowl to lip she heard a timid knock at the th or. She ran quickly to answer it. A tall, pale lad stood outside. In his arms he carried a small mite of a boy, about whose shoulders was wrapped a worn and soiled woman's shawl. The tall, pale lad looked into the tire lighted room with longing eyes. His teeth chattered with the cold as he L asked: "Good mother, may we ask 6helter for the night? The cold bites bitter hard, and my little brother IV trusha is but a sickly cripple." Then Baboushka opened wide her i!oor with an eager hand and fast beat ing heart. Perhaps, at last, this was the child. What she said aloud was: "That indeed thou mayest. But why irt thou abroad on such a bitter night with the little one?" She took the crippled boy In her strong, loving arms aud carried him Straight to the great chair In the chim ney corner. She rapped her own best shawl about him and chafed his small, withered feet until they glowed with warmth. The tall, pale lad looked on gratefully. "I am seeking an asylum for the lit tle one," he mid. "I have to work hard to keep him and myself from want. A rich merchant has promised me work, but he says I must not bring Petrusha. That he would take too much of my time." "And where seek you an asylum for him?" Baboushka looked pitifully at the small, sad face of the cripple. The tall arother answered lly: "Alas, that I kruw not yet. I was seeking the neaj -st town to ask coun sel of the pries.." Baboushka )aid a kind hand on the boy's arm. "Put care away from thy yonny heart. Thou hast found an asyh.ia for thy crippled brother. He shalt tfavel no farther on the frozen roads, fie shall be my own little Petrusha. 1 have a tiny truckle bed into which he will fit to a nicety. Such as I have, dear child, I make thee welcome to in the Christ Child's name." The night was but very little older when the three children, Ossip, Vasa lissa and Petrusha, fed, warmed and comforted, were sleeping the care free sleep of innocent childhood. Only the tall lad and Baboushka sat by the fireside, because there was no bed left for them. "Tell me, good mother," the boy said, looking straight into her kind eyes, "why are you so good to all children? Your fame has gone abroad." Baboushka did not amvcr him at once. When she did, her voice sounded as sweet and solemn as church chimes at vesper time. "Yes, I will tell you, my son, for you are nearing your own years of respon sibility, and it will be well for you to earn In good time the solemn lesson that an opportunity once lost is lost forever. "Many years ago I was setting my house in order when three men stopped at my door with a great piece of news. " 'We have seen a radiant star in the east,' they said, 'and we know that the Christ Child must be come. Leave thy labor. Come with us to find him and to do him honor.' "But I sent them away with words of foolish impatience. 'Seest thou not thatI am setting my house in order? Go thou to where the star beckons thee, and I will follow at some more convenient time. I can see its light without thy help.' "So they went their way mid left me to go mine. But when the time came that I found it convenient to V :"mv the star clouds obscured the heaw- s. and there was no star to be seen, and so I knew not how to seek the Christ Child. "I have been seeking him ever since, up and down in the land. Whenever, wherever I see a little child I think perhaps I have found the One I seek, and my heart yearns over him. But not yet have I found the Christ Child, whose face must shine with the radi ance of the star I lost." With tears of sorrow wetting her eyelashes Baboushka fell asleep in her chair. She had filled all of her beds with cold and friendless children. And as she slept a tender . hand seemed to dry her tears and a loving voice to whisper in her ears: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these little ones ye have done it unto me. They were homeless, and ye took them in. They were hun gry, and you have fed them. They were cold, and you have warmed them. The Christ Child is in thy own heart." And on that glad Christmas morning Baboushka awoke with a great peace in her soul, for she knew that she had found him she had been seeking far and wide. Ilia One Request.

A red hood covered the child's head, dark curls peeping out around her face, and in the fearless, wistful eyes shone a new light, for Dorothy was going to find Santa Claus. When her mother had gone to heav en a short time before, they had carried her up the mountain, and God and Santa Claus were al ways associated together in the child's mind. So, If God lived up there, San ta Claus could not be far away. Thus reasoned lit tle Dorothy in the hours when her father was off working in the mine and she wna left nlnnp with mm mm her rag doll in the little TinV'to brown hut which served fir.d Santa as shelter and home. Claus. "Santa Claus may not come here now mother has gone," the little girl said, "and it must be near Christmas, so I will find him, and perhaps he will take me in his reindeer sleigh to see mother and God." Little Dorothy paused iu her task of sweeping the one room of theiv home, and, putting seme potatoes in the ashes to bake, that her father's supper might be ready for hi;i. she had wrapped herself in his old coat, domied her red hood and started cut to find Santa Claus. It chanced that day that one of the mine owners was down from the city on a tour of inspection, and, having seen Dorothy on . a previous trip, he had, remembering anoth er little girl who was very happy on Christmas eve, brought down a Christ mas box for Dorothy and so strolled along with her father as he started home ward, that he might give it into the hands of the little maiden herself. But when they reached the brown hut Dorothy was not there, and when re peated calls brought no answer the two men, alarmed, started in oppo site directions to seek her, Mr. Golden following the almost obliterated path up the mountain side, where, a mile beyond, he found the little one al most buried in the falling Bnow, and as be stooped to lift her in his arms she an "Dear, good murmured drowsily, see Mr. Santa Jng tne klnd fce bendlng over her: "Dear, good Mr. Santa Claus, I want" When she opened her wistful, dark eyes again, the same kind face was bending over her as she lay on her cot in the little brown house, her father holding her in his arms, while beside her was the most beautiful doll of which she had ever dreamed, and, clasping it close to her heart, little Dorothy asked with reverent joy, the dark eyes filled to overflowing: "Dear Mr. Santa Claus, is you God too?"

Pi " "Still SOLDIERS i gi Copyright, 190S, by Edwin I. Sdbin A? IT was a brilliant holiday store, the windows and the shelves and the cases ablaze with filigree and thronged with dolls and dishes and engines and trains and skates and sleds, and hobbjhorses that galloped, and cows that mooed, and mice that ran, and and every thing, absolutely everything, that ever enters the most rapturous Christmas dream. In the center of the large show win dows, fronting upon the gay street, stood two soldiers. They were by all odds the finest soldiers in the store, much superior to the personnel com posing the different troops and regi ments and companies stationed here and there along the aisles. The pair were made of tin, to be sure; but they were of heroic stature, eight inches tall, richly uniformed in black and yellow, and could be wound up so that they would present arms several times in succession. The other soldiers, poor things, were compelled to remain the whole time at a "carry" or a "right shoulder" with out relief. Naturally these two soldiers were proud and of aspirations reaching be- OH, TO GET A WAT FKOM THIS ETERNAL GUAKD MOUNT 1" yond their present narrow quarters. They pined for a wider sphere. As they stood and stared with stern, fixed gaze through the plate glass into the gay street they talked together in toy language, and none, not even the most versatile linguists among the people passing and repassing, knew that they talked. "Oh, to get away from this ct"i:i-l guard mount over a lot of frippery!" sighed the one. "With all my heart!" agreed the other. "The monotony is frightful." "I'd give half my solder to receive orders to report to some little loy," continued the first. "Oh, for a change!" "But the majority of little boys are so rough and careless," responded the second. "I understand they scratch you and bend you and otherwise mal treat you without cause, and soon j'ou're done for. I prefer duty of a more quiet, instructive nature, where I may teach by means of my detri ment rather than by violent action." "Well, I should enjoy a hard drill and a tussle. 1 believe." asserted the first. "Our organism is too tine for such active Kervice. niv lad." i'ldlil'-'eutiv 1 corrected the second. "What scratches and dents? No, no. (Jive me a post of more elegance, where my uniform will be treated as it deserves." Christmas day had been over and gone a mouth when after their separa tion the two soldiers again encounter cd one another, but this time iu a jrt t heap of rub!isb at the city di'i.,;; where the dump man had uuwittm; i. thrown them out. "Hurrah! Hello, old chap!" exclaim ed the first soldier delightedly. "Hello!" returned the second, with rather more reserve. "Goodness! Been through the Seven Yearn' war?" Well might he put this query. The other soldier was a perfect wreck. He iiad lost an arm and a foot. Lis bond was sharply inclined forward uikju his ;hest, he had only one eye, his ! 'Ay was twisted askew, his gun was .;. ten, his cap was missing, his features were battered and distorted, and s lcr iis uniform of black and yellow ther was hardly a spot of paint on him! "I I've been having my tussle." an nounced the first, with a cracked laugh. "But you why, you evidently found lust what yon were looking for." "Yes," explained the second, "I fell Uto an xcellcnt post It was the hands of a little boy, sure enough, but he wasn't allowed to hurt me. See. I haven't a mark on me." And he ex hibited birueelf proudly. True, he was still in dress parade condition. "1" hunder and Mars!" chuckled the first. "And look at me! Do you mean to say that you never were stepped on?" "Oh, no," replied the second. 1 I qjuu t lie around on the noor. I was i put away just as soon as he was dom playing with me. His mother hat! made him a very orderly little boy." "So you never stayed out all nigh', in the hall or in the middle of the sit ting room?" "Never," said the spick and span sol dier. "And did he shoot at you with his lbber gun ever.'" "Never." said the spick and s; an sol- rubbe dier. "And he didn't bite you to see how soft you were?" "Never," said the spick aud span sol dier. "Or drag you about among the chairs with a string?" "Never," said the spick and ppun sol dier. "Or sick the terrier on you?" "Never." "Or take you to bed with him and roll on you?" "Never. I was always placed on the shelf iu the closet." "Or kick you or whack you or throw you?" "Never. Watch I can present arm as well as ever." "Or kiss you and hug you with ::ll his might and cry for you when was sick through eating too im: -h candy?" "Never. He used to forget me en tirely for days aud days. Did your boy really do all that to you?" "Yes, all that and mure," answered the battered soldier softly. "And did he kiss you, you say?" asked the spick and span soldior a bi: wistfully. "Yes; he kicked me und he kissed me," laughed the first. "And did you enjoy it?" purs-.ied tin second curiously. "I had the time of my life." declared the other. "How did you find thin-sup to your expectations?" The spick and span soldier heyita!d: then he replied: "Possibly. I can't complain. But -but somehow I grew dreadfully e:s nuied. I almost longed at times lor more excitement, more energy. We got tired of one another. After a I:!y or so we exhausted all our programme of proper exercises, and he was ho cau tious of wearing me out that I wan laid aside, and and, finally, hire 1 am.

And with his one eye he gazd through a chink In the debris up at the itars. C'brlatmaa Caaserle. There is a Christmas tide iu the affairs of men. which, taken at the flood, leads on to bankruptcy.

Truth- What Would You Give For A Good Appetite? The hungry boy is the strong and healthy boy. Farmers and horsemen never buy animals that arc dainty and won't cat not if they know it. The man or woman who cannot eat, cannot work long, will soon be sick. We know something that will give you an appetite. It will not be a fictitious appetite such as is aroused by powerful drugs, but a healthy appetite for good food. It will also arouse the vital organs not only to an appetite for wholesome food, but it will put them in condition to take care of food, to grow strong from it. This preparation is called Vinol. Its composition is no secret. It is a happy combination of the i valuable and essential principles of cod liver oil, with iron and a good table wine. It is pleasant to taste, and both nourishes and creates an appetite for nourishment.
