...... .. . t, —— — . - - I MY LONELY CHRISTMAS IS there -can there be -n man more lonely than one returned from a colony who has been out of his native llunl for twenty years and comes back when his parents are dead, his old friends dispersed and the old nest lias passed to other occupants’; Ami can his loneliness be more em phnsized than when his return synchronizes with Christmas? That was my condition when 1 re visited my old home 1 was buck—not at home, for I had no homo now. My heart began to fall me. my spirits to decline, when 1 reached the little country town near which 1 was born. 1 was indeed depressed. I would hasten to the rooms 1 had taken in a house in the town and spend my Christmas eve with a pipe and a glass—alone. I hnd done well in lite big world and had returned not a rich man. but with a competence. It bad been my wish, my ambition, to settle tn the village about which clung all my sweetest and holiest thoughts. But now—could it tie? As I walked back to my lodgings through the street and by the market ; place folks were hurrying in all directions, and the very atmosphere was tilled with the spirit of Christmas. As 1 pursued tny way I saw a tall, slim girl walking before me with a tinsket on her arm. 1 noticed that the bottom had come out and that the contents were falling on the pavement. 1 of this she was unaware. I stopped, picked up n little woolly lamb, then something wrapped in paper—a silver matchbox. Gathering them together, 1 ran after '.be girl and stopped her. "Excuse me,’' said I. “Are you a female hop o’ my thumb, dropping tokens whereby your track may be ’.now n?" I showed w bat I had collected. She I colored ttnd thanked me. Then I recognized her as tny landlady’s daughter. “You must allow me to tie tny hand- | .terchief around the basket and to car ■ -y it for yon. I believe we go the -ame way," I said “Yon are very good." she replied. IVe are al<out to have a Christinas tree for the children this evening, and

Then we proceeded ou our tray, and when we went in the bouse she receivrd the basket from me and again , ihnnked me. "Shall you be dining out tomorrow?" j linked tile girl. "1? Oli, no I have no one to diue i with. 1 know no one hero" 'And thia evening—aball you lie goj Ing anywhere?** "No. I have no where" lilt her to go.” So we parted. I went to my room ; i linu dune w ith tuy pufiers. I ant beI fore the tiro in a brown aludy. and my aplrits sank lower and even lower. The <loor opened, nml I aww soul” little heads ontxlde. with goldeu curia mid flushed cheeka. nml n child a voice «nid. "Please. Mr. Whnt's-your-iinme. ■ will ynu coin* to our tree downstairs?" As I hesitated the child said, "Plensc -Annie told tie to aak you." So I descended and was witness of j the delight of the little onus over tlielr I presents, when up sprang one of the children and plucked from the tree the silver matchbox. "Thia." said the Imy. "la for Mr. What'a-Ms-name. Slater Annie said it was for him " I was moved more than I can any. *o soma had been thinking of me. though I was only a lodger "f.ook here, air!" snld the father j "You're a si ranger in England, and at ffleh a time ar thia there must be no strangers You must reall- sup with I on and dine also with us tomorrow.

Outside n throng of merry pc >ple noisily, happily awaited the coining of the gladdest day tn all tin- year; wo-n eii nnd children, old and young, josth-d and pushed, blew horns and threw - -on fetti. and the ]x>liccnmn stood <-n the corner Mid smiled, and the real peopi.who could not sleep looked out from i their windows and laughed and said. “It is so good to see them happy." But on the sixteenth floor of the big hotel and in the solitude of an inside ; room a big. selfish man stood and rub , lied his hands nnd smiled because It was so quiet, (ince the distant blow I ing of n horn was heard, mid he stood | on a ebnir and stuffed a bath towel i into a ventilator. "Fine, fine!” said he. "Those fools! I I'fl get some sleep now." And he undressed and walked about nnd smiled. Long ngo. when the hnir just above his ears began to show n little gray, n great wall arose in hi’ life and cut off the past— the past when he was a boy. And dead vines hung about this barrier, ami its walls grew thicker ami higher until it feri-i-d back all of the streams of happiness and
