Wreaths of evergreens hung in all the windows high and low, and the market on the corner was athing of beauty and a joy forever, with piles of crimâ€" son cranberries, golden pumpkins, silâ€" ver turnips, celery, apples, pears and nuts heaped picturesquely behind its frost efpched panes of glass, and the whole framed in graceful festoons of ducks and chickens.

There was hardly more meat on its tiny carâ€"| cass than on a spring chicken. . Who| bad a family small enough to get a, Christumas dinner out of that? t As for the little girls in the new noods and mittens and muffs they had {ound in the chimney place that mornâ€" ng, between vanity and appetite they stood irresolute at their own front gates, such happy, rosy, chubby creaâ€" tures that everybody smiled involunâ€" larily at sight of them. The policemen on the corners slapâ€" d their arms about like windmills to ‘tp themselves warm, grinning from »sar to ear just because it was Christâ€" mas day. And over all pealed the joyâ€" ous music of the bells in carols that {ound an echo on every lip. The youngsters went hurrying homeâ€" ward with skates slung over their shoulders of the new and glittering pattern especially delighted in by Santa Claus, for fine as the Ice was the ringing of the noontide bells had called ip visions of turkey and stuffing, plum udding and mince pie which no morâ€" tal boy could resist. 3 Iwo Chnsimes Turgys Ch Then it was bis turn. The children gathered at his knee to drink in breathlessly his tales of travel by land and sea, of strange countries he And Mr. Green promised that _ he should have something to do by New Year‘s day and gave his word upon it, feeling for the first time how much happiness a rich man has the power to create. Then they pressed up around the fire. ‘The big logs had gone from Mr. Green‘s cellar not many minutes beâ€" fore Jimmy bhad worn a path through the snow to the bouse next door. It was story telling time, iAnd in the cheery glow on the hearth the father poured out his soul and told how he had been thrown out of work by the closing of a factory, how hard he had Lried to find another place, but to no avail, and how all they bhad to live upâ€" on was the sum his cfear wife earned by sewing and Jimmy‘s pittance from the market. And the wife, in her turn, told how brave and patient he had been, with a loving glance that made him blush with pleasure. A o tees could ‘see him, and the young feet tripped briskly to and fro until everyâ€" thing was in its place, clean as clean could be. It was a real frolic. s reputition of being stiif and proud. Never had so delightful a guest deâ€" scended into their modest bhousehold cfore. They all put in and wasued up the dinner dishes afterward. _ The father washed _ and Ebenezer Green wiped, wishing the directors of the bank Over went the flowers, and the nuts and raisins, and apples and pears and grapes, the mince pies and the plum pudding from the great house to the small, and the children, who had not had a square meai for weeks, sat down to a board fairly groaning under the weight of the good things on it. ‘The little Lboys ate till they could barely see. The little girls were nearly distractâ€" ed between admiration of the pink roses nodding in the tall vase on the festal board and astonishment at the pudding when Mr. Green set it to blazing in burning brama; And the father and motixer wonderâ€" eda how their neighbor bad ever got his reputation of being stiff and proud. Never had so delightful a guest deâ€" So once again it chanceod that the big turkey and the little one were side by side. _ The cottage was verfy soon a scene of riotous enjoyment, for Eb enezer‘s spirits rose at a bound and he felt like a boy again,. He sent Jimâ€" my back with a note to his housekeepâ€" er, who thought he had suddeniy beâ€" come mad when she found not only him but the turkey gone. _ _ "You are quite welcome to a share of ours on Christmas day. Jimmy, put a plate for the gentleman, and John," turning to her husband, "do not let him hold that heavy platter. Ohb, what a turkey! He must have been raised in a land of giants." _ * not to speak "of a rush of crisp, chill air. The spirit of gool will stirred in his heart, and forgetting the disparity of wealth and poverty between them he felt only a warm throb of sympaâ€" thy for the solitary old man. The motherstepped forward, kindly gentle in a simple courtesy which would have become a palace. _ : 6 ‘"You need not have brought {our dinner with you, sir," she said, smiling. "Good day," gasped the visitor, quite out of breath after his Herculean efâ€" forts. _ "Good day, and wish you merry Christmas! _ You don‘t know me, but I‘m your next door neighbor, Ebenâ€" ezer Green. I‘ve got the prize turâ€" key, but I want you to heip me eat it, for I‘m very lonely over there all by myself. Can I come in ?" Come in? Well, the father saw in a trice how it was, and he opened wide to let in the turkey and its bearer, Oh, but that was a monstrous bird. Thirty pounds? Fifty! Old Ebenezer fairly staggered under its weight as he cautionsly picked his way over the ice and snow toward the coitage door, and he couldn‘t even spare a bhand to knock. _ The toe of his boot managed to make a good, smart rapping, howâ€" everâ€"â€"a sound so unwon‘sd that the father ran hastily out, with the chilâ€" dren trooping in his train. h . All at once the oddest idea popz)ed into the head of that one man. If he had stopped to think about it, nothâ€" ing would have happened, and the prize turkey never would have played a part in a story. _ But, for once in his life, the old man acted upon the spur of the moment. He hurried out into the hall, put on his coat and bat, opened the door, slipped back into the dining room and took up the platter from the table. FEbenezer Green turned away, with a sigh. The bell had sounded in his own dining room, and standing on the threshold of the apartment bhe bent a fixed stare upon the table, where there were flowers and silver and cut glass, and on the side twble, smoking hot and browned till he crackled all over, loomed up the mighty outlines of the prize turkey. For one man! 4 en,. were bent silently over the plates while the father asked a blessing and thanked God for his goodness in keepâ€" ing them together and giving them so many comforts. And then he took up the carving knife as he gazed anxiousâ€" ly at the turkey. The revel .was about to begin. And now the father laid aside the apun. The cook vanished ; the head of the house appeared. He led the pale mother tenderly to the table, and the children, followed, prancing to theit places around the table, which nobody thought bare or poorly set forth. There came a pause for a momentâ€" the little heads, brown, black, and flaxâ€" uis s eee on d e e t mZ" too, in a funny china pot with a large handle, and who brought that in, feelâ€" ing the importance of the occasion to the utmost, but the baby, toddling along as gravely as a judge, deep anxâ€" iety in her bluZ eyes.j And ci(f_er!

One of the most singwiar cireumâ€" stances of this curious history is that after the wars were over the woman who had won renown on the batt‘e~ fiexd and public recognition from the empire chose to reiurn to bher native province, and resumed there the 0.d, simpe, tranquil domestic life of her chi_dhood. Virginia Ghesquiere died in 1855, but her memory will always live among the inhabitants of Deemont, who from one weneration to another will tell their ch«ren‘s children the story of the girâ€"soldier who served France so herâ€" oically for her brother‘s sake. Both Britons surrendered, and asâ€" sisted her in placing the officer, who still breathed, upon a horse which had strayed near. _ Compelling the Engâ€" lishmen to follow, the "pretty serâ€" weant‘" made a triumphal entry into camp, and. fyas soon after made a Chavailier of the Legion. As she spoke she advanced toward the prostrate offirer, folowed by two sodiers. _ Her _ comrades, both weak from :oss of blood, were unable to reach the goai, so that the burden of the afâ€" fair fell upon her slender shoulders. On reaching the spot, she found it impossilxe to lift the heaivy body of the fallen officer, tug and struggle as she might! _ She was now, moreover, heset by two stragg.ing English solâ€" diers. _ Seized by a sort of frenzy at this inferruption of a mercifu} deed, the little sergeant fired at one of her assailants, wounded bim in the shoulâ€" der, and then disal)Â¥ed the other by vi;:r‘on‘nm“hl'b\vs from her gunâ€"stock. lie d of battle the figure of the colonel o the regiment lying under the body of his dead horse.

Un the second of May, 1808, after the Batte of Lisbon, the "pretty sergeant" performed a deed of valor that won for her the decoraiion of the Legion of Homnor. . Donning ‘her brother‘s appare., the intrepid gir. presented herself at the department on the fo.lowing day, and was assigned to the Twentyâ€"seventh Reâ€" giment by the unsuspecting officer whose duty it was to enrocl the reâ€" cruits. _ With the courage of a high and noâ€" ble motive, Virginia Ghesquicre begâ€" ged her parents to alow her to do for France what ber brother‘s ill healith rendered it impossible for him to do, and so earnest did the young patriot pead that she won their consent. The story of Virginia Ghesquiere, the French heroine, who was decorated with the order of the Legion of Honor for distinguished bravery during one of the campaigns of the French army in Spain, is graphicaily told by Emile Cere in his history of "Madame Bansâ€"Gene et Les Femmes Soldats." In the conscription of 1808 a young man by the name of Ghesquiere was enksted among the forced recruits of the department of the Hautâ€"Rhin. The beardless conscript was frail and deliâ€" cate, utter.y unable to bear the fatigues and hardships of war. â€" Realizing the physical incapacity of her twin brother, whom she very closely resembled, the brave and unse.fish sister, Virginia, deâ€" cided to take his p.ace in the ranks. €C wo s on PCE OO WO CC PS his head, and for the first tinuxue in :;any a year he breathed a little prayâ€" * uBP EPCME OVH BUWEU CC CRCCO ME on while the elder sister made ber ready for bed, and then the group outâ€" side fell into silence, while the little one knelt beside her crib and murmurâ€" ed the dear familiar words of her "Now I lay me down to sleep." Oh, that was a happy Christmas day ! As it drew toward its close Ebenezer Green lingered in his sitting room, bare and empty after that he had left so full of love and cheerful content. The fire leaped and flared and threw its rich light into the shadows round his chair. _ He felt the baby arms still round his neck, the dimpled baby cheek pressed close to his own, wrinkled and seamed with the cares of the world, and when the chimes rang out at midâ€" night soft and clear the old man bowed h â€" * G6Beâ€"»â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"_._._ POPULATION AND AREA THE PRETTY SERGEANT HIS LAST WORNDS Remember Minirano Dous »d Her with Benzine and Tar After Failing o Brain Wer. | Antonio Minirano quarrelled with his | wife early Thursday morning, in Erie, |Pern., and after first failing to brain her, doused bher with burning benzine and tar.
