mediately, and Ryan here now
talking to George, j to Tommy.
Oh, Gibbs—Gibbs’.” .'he' broke off
feverishly. “It’s mad , me—-1 can’t
tell you—so nervous?—I can’t tell
you—"
“I know!" lie Interrupted nerv

to think about it—!"%
■ Could a child Tommy’s age tes

I don’t know, dear.”
“And—if they believe this, does
it mean a new trial?”
“It might, I don’t know."
“We can only wait.” Ellen tight
ened her fingers on his, and they
sat silent.
A messenger came to the officer
at the cell's door who spoke a mo
ment later to Ellen. Would Mrs.
Josselyn step into the warden’s of
fice a minute, to. speak to Mr. La
throp Ellen, with one quick flut
ter of breath, smiled a goodby to
Gibbs and was gone.
In the warden’s office she found
George and the district attorney.
“Good afternoon, Mrs. Jossetyn”
Ryan said. Ellen, smiling faintly
tried to read his rosy, complacent
face. “This Is a most extraordinary
turn of events,” he said. ‘'This lit
tle fellow had the secret up his
sleeve all the time, eh?”
Ellen felt almost faint with the
revulsion this change In his man
ner gave her. Ryan had always
been sharp, suspicious, meanaclng,
before. She wanted to ask: “You
believe It, then" but quick Intuition
told her that that must wait, So
she asked instead:
“Tommy talked, did he? He an

Ellen had a quick sensation of

bravely at George, and smiled wav

“We—we rousn’t be too sure—”
she stammered. A moment later
the harsh, whitewashed walls and
the redded doors, the warden's
desk, and the tall, bare windows,
vanished. She saw them all blur

and, like the bubble, suddenly be

CHAPTER XVII
O N about A quiet a year September and a half morning, later,
a,young man, his pretty wife and
their very small baby got out of the
long train of dusty pullman coaches
at the dry, sleepy California town
of Los Antonios.
After a smiling survey of the
scene, during which they were ap
parently entirely unnoticed, the
man crossed the street to the bank,
and asked a question of the teller.
i Sure you can; yon phone
can
from here,” said that delicate,
blonde, moustached official pleas
antly. “Phone Murphy's garage,
and they'll take you up there. The
Josselyn’s who have the old Perry
place, Isn’t it? Sure, it's about six
miles out of town, up in the hills."
He meditated a second, and then,
with a burst of interest, he added.
“Sat, Mrs. Josselyn was in here
about a minute ago! Know her
car? It must be right outside here."
And he obligingly stepped to the
door with the newcomer, and looked
up and down the street.
“That's the car,” he said indi
cating one that had been left empty
before the post office door. “If you
get in there and wait for Mrs. Jos
selyn she’ll be right out of some
where.”
Joe Latimer went across the
street again, and took the baby
from Its mother’s arms.
“That’s Ellen’s car, there!” he
said, smiling nervously. Lizzie did
not speak. Her cheeks were burn

thousands of people and vehicles

great sob shook her little frame,
A large-nosed Santa Claus in a red
liannei suit grinned at her and

wlth many coins. On the corner a
small group of blind beggars were
singing Christmas carols in cracked,
ugly voices. Marie stopped in front
of them, watched them for a while,
then suddenly remembering her
loneliness, burst into a loud shriek,
Several people stopped pityingly

she lived, but she could not tell

throat.

Christmas Sleighing
in Days of Long Ago
Of course the children had a
sleigh ride during the holidays. But
more and more as their parents
talked over what they would give
the children when they came home
from the sleigh ride, more and more
as they planned the good hot sup
per, they thought about the sleigh
rides there had been when they were
young.
What sleigh rides those hod
been! What fun! What a nice
thing It was that now the children
could enjoy these sleigh rides.
And yet—and yet—why not?
They talked it over with each
other and then with the neighbors.
Then it was decided upou.
And the grown-ups, too, had a
sleigh ride during the Christmas
holidays just as they had had when
they were young. Afterward Were
was a hot supper and then there
were games.
Why put aside a sleigh-ride party
when one’s spirit is the same, even
if a few years have been added?—

What a world it would be If all
of us kept up the Christmas spirit
all through the year! How much
of unhappiness, or discontent, or
unrest, would we all be spared?’
How many foolish quarrels and use
less bickerings would never be if
our hearts held the message of love
and trust and peace that they do
today ? How many homes would be
unbroken and how many men and
women would work together In a
new and deeper bond of love and
service? How trivial and small
would appear some of the reasons
that estrange us from each other?
How petty and mean the little jeal
ousies and misunderstandings that
hamper our way and our vision?
How different our fellow-men would
appear In our eyes—their little
weaknesses and fallings would be
things to stir our hearts to pity, In
stead of to scorn and contempt.
Well it would be for the world and
for each one of ns as individuals if
the spirit of peace, of love, of good
wlil toward all men burned in our
hearts through all the year with the

.“I have been planning for months
to give a great Christmas surprise to
my sister Grace, way out in Idaho,”
remarked Aunt Molly to her neigh

knitting in the former's coinfort

months ago for a visit—the poor

an operation for cntaracts could be
successful. I am waiting for the
morrow, almost breathlessly, for
they are to remove the bandages
from his eyes to test his sight And
oh, Mrs. Wiggins, let us pray that
all will be well!”
God was good to the blind boy
and the operation was very suecess
