n^HERE Is a contrast to the holiday
atmosphere as one passes Into the
dark and damp underground way out
of the great depot. A chill strikes
upon the soul as well as upon the
body. The passer hurries on to escape
Into the light and cheer of the street.
He hugs his Christmas packages a
little closer and tries to whistle him
self Into something like gayety.
Suddenly he is startled and helped
by the tones of a merry tune and dis
covers the old blind man who has long
haunted the dismal place. For years
this unfortunate has made it his one
business to stand there and pipe up
the failing spirits of travelers. His
face has refused the marks of dark
ness and his soul has kept gladness
behind its closed and curtained win
dows/ As one stops to leave a token
and a word of appreciation with him
he says, "Thank you; I don’t know as
I ever did anybody any good; some
people don’t like it.”
EURE ENOUGH.

DON’T suppose two noses
were ever pressed more for
lornly against a window-
glass than those liQlonglng
to Jerry and Sally. If you
were to look at them from
the outside, in their front
yard, for instance, they
would not seem like noses
at all; you would say that Jerry and
Sally had small, white pears pn their
faces, and pretty squashed pears at
that! This is what a window-glass
does to two children who have the
whooping cough and are standing as
closely as possible ngolnst the nearest
thing to getting out—a window.
Jerry dug his lists down into/ his
pockets and looked as cross as a year.
Sally blinked very fast to keen the
tears from rolling down her cheeks,
and her two .pigtails quivered unhap
pily.
We’ll miss the party and the games
and the goodies . . . and every
thing!” she walled.
"I don’t care about the old party!”
declared Jerry scornfully. "What I
want is to get out and make a snow
man. Look nt all this perfectly good
snow going to waste! I call It a
Hliaiue!” And you would have thought
by his tone that all blizzards were In
vented for the express purpose of giv
ing :?♦•!!< boys the opportunity of play
ing in it.
“Maiy Randall’s going to wear her
new pink dress and her slippers!”
sniffed Sally, "and 1 have a red dress
and new slippers to-o-o!” This last
thought was almost too much, and one
lerre tear did manage to tumble over
and down her cheek'. Jerry pretended
not to see It. Perhaps he was having
trouble with his own eyes, though of, .

Is spoiled because of whooping cough.

fled. "Let’s sit down In front of the
open fire,” suggested Sally, “and tell
stories. I’m tired of looking out of
the window. Perhaps something nice
will happen; who can tell?”
So the 'two children settled them
selves In front of tin* lire. They drew
up two low stools and they each sat
with their elbows on their knees and
their chins in their hands. It was very
warm and cosy. The logs crackled and
sputtered as though they were doing
their best to cheer other people up,
and the dancing flames had a regular
parade up and down the wood. It was

Birds as Weather Prophets.
At least some birds are good
weather prophets. The green wood

country ns the "rain bird” because Ills

gained the name of "storm cock," be-

late afternoon and growing a little
dark.
Suddenly Sally’s pigtails stuck out
straight behind her In surprise.
"What’s that?” she whispered, and
her eyes were big as saucers.
“Where?” asked Jerry, a little star
tled too.
"I saw something white flit in at the
door!”
“So did I.”
The children looked cautiously
around. Nothing was to be seen.
Just an ordinary room, a bright fire
and two children in front of It.
“Funny—” mused Sally.
There was the faintest rustle by the
clock on the mantel. It sounded like
snowflakes talking together.
“There! I heard something againl”
said Sally.
Both children stared at the clock,
for that was where the sound came
from.
It was quite dark by this time, ex
cept for the light from the logs, so It
was natural that Jerry and Sally did
