She no longer had feeling of animosity toward } illa, Her lit- tle reign had ended, and Jonathan was free, Mrs. Corbie looked shocked. "A shop! My dear! A lady like Miss Marsh ?" "And why not, pray ?" her hus. 'band demanded, "You were in a | shop once yourself, I. there any dis. grace in it, I'd like to know ?" He blew a cloud of smoke into the air and sniffed its aroma complac- ently, "She got only herself tc thank, anyway," he added. "She might have married Jonathan, I'd have given them the Moorland House for a wedding present, and done it up for 'em---brought it up te date like this one, central heating and modern lighting." "I'm sure it's all for the best" Lena said. "Everything works out for the best in the long run." Her invitation to stay with her aunt and uncle had been extended indefinitely, and she believed that all she had to do flow was to wait patiently till Jonathan came back from his wanderings, Men were so often caught in the rebound. "I suppose," Mrs. Corbie said half apologetically, "that if you have really bought the Moorland House, Priscilla will have to leave ?" "Unless she stays on as a care. taker," her husband sald jocularly. "I saw her this afternoon, She said she was glad I'd bought the house; said she hoped I'd save the oak trees. Women are always so senti- mental." He walked out of the room, humming complacently, He had done Sam Dawson in the eye at last and felt happily triumphant, Mrs. Corbie centinued her knit. ting. She was wondering what her niece and husband would say if they knew that as soon as she had a chance she intended to go to see Priscilla, Priscilla was packing up. Down- stairs she could hear heavy foot- steps and the voices of the auction- eer's men who were ticketing the furniture for the sale.

There was a bet that the rustic would not, at midnight on Christmas Eve, walk alone through the church- vard. A young N.C.0. lowered himself into a newly-dug, but empty grave at the appointed hour. The rustic appeared through the creaky gate, and was startled to hear horrible groans proceeding from the earth. Walking to the open grave he shouted: "Who's down there?" A ghostly voice replied: "It's c-0-0-1-d down h-e-e-ere!" "No wonder," said the rustic; '""they've forgotten to cover thee oop!" And seizing the sexton's spade he began to shovel clods of earth on top of the unfortunate corporal. ing from a recent {illness which | vicinity have been disposing of | in India and also read a story.

The service was con- ducted with the assistance of an interpreter, Mrs, J. R, Byrne, deaconess of the Church of the Deaf of Toronto, who displayed wonderful skill in making known to the worshippers the inspiring message of the sermon of Mr. Robb, and the significance of the sacramental service. To one with all the faculties of hearing and speech, the service was highly impressive. The small group of members of the church watched with keenness and interest the flying fingers and hands of Mrs. Byrne, as with sizns and the finger language, she interpreted the sermon, which dealt with the meaning of the sacrament to the people of God's Chureh, Mrs. W. D. Bell, one of the members of the church, in sign language dramatized two beau- tiful and appropriate hymns, her actions and signs conveying in a striking way the meaning of the hymns, The group was greatly impressed by the beauty of her contribution to the service, Mr. W. D. Bell, at the close of the service, expressed the thanks of the congregation to Rev. Andrew Robb for his message and for ad- ministering the sacrament to the church, Mrs. Byrne interpreting his message {into the spoken language. This group, the Church of the Deaf, meets regularly once a month for worship in St. Ane drew's Church and had never celebrated the Lord's Supper in its services, owing to the dif- ficulty in finding a skilled intere preter. -------------------- MANY TRAVELLERS GO OVERSEAS FOR XMAS Montreal.--'"Home for Christe. mas" was the slogan . of many groups of people from various rarts of Canada as they arrived . at Halifax recently to take steam- ers for the British Isles and Eu- rope.
