Anyway, tne wish might have been
n prayer, for It was answered. A*
Anna put It afterward, "It seemed like
what happened to the shepherds at
Reth'Iem." For Mrs. Titus got n new
and happy Idea In a peculiar way. She
had been calling
for o Mr. Saxe
overthe telephone
for half the after
noon In vain. In
order to collect a
washing bill that
might slightly im
prove the Christ

when Anna hu
porously suggest
ed that she might
;ry the saxophone.
The Joke not only
nade her laugh,
^ut It brought to
.er mind the
honght that some
times fortune pun
ishes us for neg
lecting onr rela
tlons to others by the failure of th*
resources that we have depend?-! upo:
and rewards our use of new and nr
tried means. This thought cause
Mrs. Titus to put her pride In he
empty pocket and pushed her out upoi
the flood of affection that reached a
far as California. For her. brothe?
Sam. who had not heard a word fron
her for years, received a letter tha'
was stained with a loving tear 01
two, and It was like a Christmas pres
ent for the far-away brother. It pro
voked a loving expression also, as lov?
always does, and through It the T1
tuses began a new and relieved hi*
tory. With Christmas time the bur
den of care and labor that had presset
so heavily fell off, and the angel tha
had been under It came out, as th
smiling mother dressed old Tlmoth;
up f<<r a Santa Clous and wa:; inerr;
with them all.
When Sam hea^d about It he fel
like one of the \\*se Men, even If h
had hailed from the West, and sen
his gifts ahead of him. It was wort!
the long Journey to hear Feggy sa.
that she thought he was the rec
