Kunlco was six; too young to grasp tlio mean ing of much that she hoard, hut old enough to rcinem-j her. All day slit;1 pi a y oil happily with her dolls !n tin- sdmbby furnished room which was lur mother's bed room. Tin' door wa.s locked, nnd Mrs. Holmes, tin landlady, was under Instructions to look In from time to tf nit to see Wiint Kunlco was doing; hut since Eunice was never doing anything except playing with her dolls the good woman's visits became less and less frequent. "She's the most contented little body In the world, ma'ani." said the old Scotch woman to Hilda Groves. Kunlce's mother. Mrs. droves was nlso called Marian I'ay, hut that was when she stood behind the footlights nnd ennyureil bar audience with her Klrllsh charm and ingenue manner. IJy lay she was Hilda (jrovos, wife of John Groves, nn unsuccessful writer, nnil the charming Ingenue was a very tired woman with u discontented droop to her mouth. I "I'm j-lad she's keeping out of mis chief," answered Kunlce's mother coldly. "It's a wonder." soliloquized Mrs Holmes, pausing In the act of taking a pair of sheets out of a closet and looking at the closed door, ,"lfa a wo'jder that sort of parents has them kind of children." The pood woman disapproved of Mrs. Grovds, whom she thought hard , nnd unmaternnl. As for .Tohn Groves. Kunlce's father, who worked all day, thumping upon his typewriter In the little half empty linck room, two stories up, whenever ho met Eunice be experienced a curious sense of em barrassment and shame. When her mother entered tho room Eunice would experience much tho same feeling of embarrassment that she occasioned her father. Though she had never been told that moth ers, ought to love and caress their children. 'Eunice wondered dimly at the cold "formnllty of her mother's kiss, and felt chilled nnd repressed. One snoWy night In fcito December John Groves came slowly doa-nstalrs and dismissed Mrn Holmes, who was making Eunice ready for bed "Congtatulato me. daughter." he said. "I have an offer of 8 position on tho staff of the Munhattanltc." Eunlco looked up vaguely. "How would you llko to celebrate the occasion with me. child?" Inquired her father, addressing Eunice banterv lugly. because ho did not quite know what to say to her. "Es," said Eunice, slipping her chubby band Into his own. "Tho motion Is carried," said John Groves. "We are to go, then, to see Mamma transformed into a beneficent fairy As you nre doubtless aware, nhe takes tho part of tho Fairy God mother In the Christmas play now punning at the Hudsonlan." That was tho first time John Groves and Eunice had ever been out to 'gather, except for an occasional stroll round the block to the newspaper man or tho corner grocery. , To Grnvee the sensation was as aston ishing as It was unexpected. Here he had been creating his dream men and women all his llfo, while there was a live child, his own,' waiting to be discovered, and full of tho most amaz ing touches of what ho would have called, In his Jargon, "human Inter est." Hut as for Eunice, sho wnB In wonderland, p.nd it far transcended doll-land. She had never imagined anything so heavenly as tho lights, the people, and then the mystery of tho tunncl-llko npproach to the thea ter, tho gloomy aisle, and tho wall ibehlnd ilio row of little lamps that went up Into tho roof and disclosed Mother! "O-oh!" cried Eunice, leaping up out of her chair. And nobody scolded or even frowned, because this was a 'Christmas play and the spirit of iChrlstmns was upon everyone There was her Mamma, all colors and chining things, standing in tho fairy garden, while her god-children grouped themselves around her. And such a transformed Mother! How fiappy they all were! Sho was laugh ng as Eunice had never hoard her laugh '.n Mrs. Holmes' boarding bouse, nnd sho kissed tho children nnd gave thorn tho most wonderful jtoys. i "Do you know who that old fellow Is, Eunice?" Inquired her father, in dicating a Christmas character, "That'B Santa Claus." i "Thanta Clauth," repeated Eunice happily. "Yes. Ho'b tho Bplrlt of Christmas. XIo gives everybody everything they want on Christmas eve." , "Does ho llvo hero?" asked Eunice. "Willi, for the present, yeB," her fatter answered. Eunice was very silent. Hut when the curtain fell at last her little form was trombllrg with fearful Joy, r.nd she clung ec statically to her father "Now we are going round to Mam ma's dressing room," said her father, and before Eunlco knew wbero she was sho had par.sed through tho tun nel again, and through a second tun nel, longer nnd gloomier, Into a queei little room, In which her mother sat before a mirror. Her shining dress lay over a chair, and she was deadly tired, and her face was all rrd and white nnd streaky Eunice looked at her and her heart was full of helpless misery. Sho burnt Into sudden sobs. "The child's tired to death,. Jack." said Hilda Groves petulantly. "She ought to have been In bod long ago. What made you bring her hero?" Eunice behaved uncommonly badly Sho cried and cried, and the more her mother scolded her the moro un controllable became her sobs. So that at last sho had to bo carried out In tho arms of the dressing woman nnd put Into a taxlcab, with a very cross mother nnd a very subdued father, and after that she found herself In bed. It must have been all a dream! Eunice was old enough to be able to distinguish dreams from reality. Dreams were things that happened to you when you wero nsleep. and she had been asleep; but sho was wide awake now, wondering why It was so dark In the room, and looking through the crack of tho door at the streak of light that came from the room ad joining. Her parents were talking; she heard her mother's petulant voice "I'm suro I don't know what we will do with that child when sho gets older, John." Hilda Groves was say ing. "Of course the profession Is not to be thought of for her." "Hut If I take that position on the Manhattanlto we can have a home of our own," answered her father. "And have mo give up my work Just when I am beginning to attract the attention of the managers." an swered his wife sarcastically. "After ten years of drudgery, to bo robbed of the reward of It bill No. thank you, my dear." "But I, too, will have to make the sacrifice," answered her husband. "Frankly, Hilda, I am not thinking of you in this matter, nor of myself. I am thinking of Eunlco." "Eunlco!" repeated his wife bitter ly. "The child is quite happy with her dolls, and Mrs. Holmes will take all the care of her that may be nec essary. It la only when you take he) away from them and try to amuse her that she becomes troublesome. I sometimes wish we had no child to be a burden to us." Eunice understood, and all her world seemed to tumble Into a fathom less abyss. Her mother did not want her, then. John Groves accepted the offer, but Hilda went on with her work. . Be twoen them they could live comfort ably and save money, but there could be no homo for Eunice. If Hilda left tho stago t&elr means would be strait ened. Tho disagreement between them on this subject bred rancor which brought suffering to tho child. Eunice's mothor could hardly bear to look at her, and Mrs. Holmes became moro nnd more Indignant. "I'll wngor there'll bo no Santa Claus for you, my Iamb," she said despondently, as she put the child to bed two days boforo Christmas. "But you'll hang up your stockings," oho continued uffgrily, giving tho pillow a shako. "I'll 1111 'em. I mean, I'll tell Santa to do so. Toll mo, dearie, what would you llko Santa Claus to bring u?" "Thnnta Clauth," repeated Eunice, and her eyes brightened. "Gives cvorybody everything they want." "Yes," said Mrs. Holmes. "Good little boys and girls llko you can get most anything. What would you like most In tho world, dearie?" "I want my Mamma to love me llko tho fairy children," Eunlco an swered. Mrs. Holmes understood and hur ried out of tho room to glvo vent to her tears. Sho approached Hilda Groves that evening on tho matter. "Won't you be telling Eunice to hang up her stockings tomorrow night, ma'am?" she inquired. "I certainly will not teach her that ''22ICnTlJZ2VZ7TtMCrC'AWimA nonsense," Hilda answered. "If you knew (ho trouble I bnvo with her, Mis. Holmes, you wouldn't be asking me to put any new Ideas Into her head. She Is contented with her dolls and Is satisfied, and my work takes up every minute of my tlmo." "And you don't do your work," cried tho Scotch woman. "There's better and more natural work at your band for you to do. nnd you leave It to others." "What do you mea.i by that?" "I mean Kunlco." said Mrs. Holmes defiantly, and wiped her hands on her npron and stalked away, leaving Hilda Groves Indignant nnd resentful. Mrs. Holmes had put her llttlo churgo to bed on Christmas eve nnd later stolo on tiptoe to tho door. Eunlco was lylnc with her fnco to the wall, hor head resting upon her arm. Tho good woman looked wist fully at her. and at tho llttlo stockings which hung from tho head of tho bed., She hud never hud u child of her own. She was going to fill thorn to over flowing with a certain storo of good things that she bad purchased and hidden away In tho linen closet among tho sheets and plllowcases. Sho had candles and oranges, and firecrackers that snapped disconcertingly, contain ing foolscaps nnd mottoes and paper ornaments within their fat and crink ling bodies; n Jnck-ln-the-box, too, nnd a doll, Just large enough to be cunningly concealed Inside a stock ing. Mrs. Holmes watched tho child. Hor sleep did not seem sound, for once or twice sho stirred, pud tho good landlady had that morbid ter ror of discovery which a real Santo always feels. "I'll wait till Mr. Cunningham has come in and then I'll do It," she re solved. Mr. Cunningham, tho last of her boarders to come home, was al ways punctual upon the stroke of eleven. Eunice would then bo sound asleep, no doubt. But Eunlco had not slept at all. With a child's deliberate craft she had deceived tho good-natured land lady. She waited till she heard Mrs. Holmes go into her room, and then she rose up ever so softly and pulled on the empty stockings, dressed her self, and crept into the hall. She listened In terror at Mrs. Holmes' door. She was reading aloud, as she did of an evening, and the solitary voice was torrlfylng. Not much Icbb so was the regular breathing of Mrs.J Bennett next door, the middle-aged woman who always insisted on stop-, ,l nn.l nnnl.l . I I l""fj uuu ofi-unius, uu UlUllUr HOW busy Eunice might happen to bo. The floor creaked, and once Mrs. Holmes stopped reading nnd sat up in her chair. Eunlco shrank Into the recess between tho hall curtain and the um brella stand. Then all was right again nnd Mrs, Holmes' voice droned on. The child opened the hall door and fled out Into tho December blasts. She had gono to find Santa Claua. for sho knew that ho would not come to her. ' The theater was only three blocks away, and Eunlco could seo tho dis tant glitter of lights as soon as sho was In tho streot. Tho road was full of vehicles, and pedcstrlnns went hur rying along tho sidewalks, but no body molested hor or was curious about tho llttlo, thinly clnd girl that slipped nmong the crowds, dodging here nnd there until she reached the corner of tho third block. Then Eunlco halted before tho niBh of au tomobiles that whizzed past her in never ending lino, and a big police man took her by tho arm. "Whore are you going, little girl?" ho asked gruffly. "Thnntn Clnuth," said Eunlco, point ing toward tho theater lights. "Do you bolong to the theater?" nsked tho policeman dubiously. "Where is your Mamma?" "Over there," said Eunlco, and the policeman carried her across the street, while tho automobiles parked upon either hand on a wavo of bis lordly fingers. He set hor down at the stago entrance. "Anybody lost a baby?" he asked the l.uid old iiiiiii guarding the tunnel. "What's your nnme. llttlo girl?" in quired tho mnn. "Who's your Mam ma?" "I'm Eunice, nnd my Mamma's a fairy godmother." "Miss Fay's child." said I ho man.( "She told you to como for her, eh?" Eunlco did not know what sho an swered, for sho was running down the, tunnel along n well remombored pas sage toward a star of light that shono In the dlstnnco. And then there burst upon her eyes tho dazzling spec tacle of the Christmas play. She did not understand thnt those rows of ghost-like faces stretching away Into' tho dlstnnce woro tho nu dlenco. nnd to her the setting of the stage was reality. Her eyes wora fixed upon tho beautiful woman who stood and bowed nnd smiled, a won derful being Illumined by a great, shaft of light from ovorhead, which followed her every movement Tba, fairy children had gono, and Hilda Groves bowed finally nnd withdrew toward tho palace threshold. She hnd needed all hor concentra tion to play successfully that night, nnd In spite of thnt moro than ona of tho newspapers commented dis paragingly the next day upon her por- formnnco. It was unreal, thoy said, nnd llfolesc (Could thoy only havd seen her after tho curtain foil!) To Hilda It was agony. Tho mother'a heart was aching, but sho did not) know tho cnuse. or that her child could euro hor mnlady; sho thought of Eunlco only as n hateful and repug nant duty to which she must return after hor ovenlug task. She turned and entered through tho palace por tals, which gave upon tho wlngn. Now sho was only n tired worano again, anxious to divest herself of her tlnsolled trnpplngs. But to the llttlo figure that stood before her she was an Olympian. Eunlco stood lost In amazed admiration at this wonder ful being who was her mothor. "Mamma! Mamma!" Tho arms were outstretched. "Eunice!" The harsh tones broke the spell. Tho child romembered her last visit and the disillusionment that followed It. She clutched at her mother'a gown. "Who brought you here? How dared you come? You should have been asleep hours ago." Tho little arms were clutching at the fairy gown frantically and the up turned face was one of piteous en treaty. "Don't scold me, Mamma. 1 want ed Thanta Clauth. He gives most anything to good boys and girls." The tragedy in the child's face ar rested Hilda. The cold crust of self ishness was breaking. "I wanted him to make yon love me like the fairy children, Mamma." Love conquered. If only the critics could have seen Hilda now! Sudden ly sho understood the infinite sorrow of tho child's mind, the tragedy of the little life which she had created, the loneliness, tho craving for a mother's pity nnd love. Tears gushed from her own eyes and mingled with tho child's ob sho drew her to her breast. The doorkeoper came hurrying up. "Miss Fay," ho cried excitedly, "you've got your llttlo girl then? 1 thought, ehe was waiting beside mo I Just missed her. Thero's a gentleman " He gave way to John Groves. Mrs. Holmes had discovered the empty bed five minutes before, and, frnntlc with alarm, had rushed 'up to the lonely lit tle room on the third story. John Groves had shrewdly guessed Ilia daughter's objective. "You'vo got hor, Hilda. Thnnk God!" he began; nnd then stopped, astonished at the look of happiness on lilu wife's face. "She came to find Santa Clnus," said Hilda. "She wanted something of him, and I gueBS he's heard hor prayer. But I think It must bo Santa sent her to mo. John, I've found something tonight that I never knew I'd lost, and I'm going to keep It Eunice home with mo ub always." (Copyrlfbt br W O. Chapman.) THE KINGDOM OF THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

On this Christmas occasion lot us tnke n forward look Into the golden ago which Is nhend of us. It Is the time of which the wise of nil ages have spoken nnd the poets have sung. It will not be brought about through Improved social conditions or even u League of Nations, but by the per sonal coming nnd relgu of the l'rlnco of Peace, tho Lord JesiiH Christ. It Is the klngdnin which Daniel said the God of heaven should 'set up (Dan. i::-m, -ir; 7:i;t. id. ' I. The Lineage of tho King (v. 1). He Is of royal stock, the seed of David. Ills birth took place nearly 2.000 years ago. This Christmas sea son Is a memorial of It. II. The Gifts and Power of the King (v. 2). These result from the resting upon him of the Spirit of the Lord. HernuM! of this endowment lie Is equipped to administer the affairs of the kingdom. A sixfold ohnrneferlzntliin of the Spir it's gifts shows the completeness of the equipment. 1. The Spirit of the Lord. This title shows thnt he Is to he qualified for his work by divine Inspiration. 2. The spirit of wisdom. He Is om nlRcleut. Only n king of such wisdom can rule over the whole earth. 8. The spirit of understanding. This understanding,, coupled with wisdom, gives discernment and discrimination. 4. The spirit of counsel. Tills means, doubtless, the gift of mnklng decisions. 5. The spirit of might. This meani the ability to execute his decisions. De cisions would be of little value with out the ability to execute them. 0. The spirit of knowledge. This refers to his reverent attitude toward God. III. The Nature or Character of the King's Rule (vv. H-5). 1. A quick understanding In the fear of tho Lord. He will have nhlllty quickly to discern Godly fear In the human heart. 2. An unerring Judgment. He will not Judge after appearances. 3. Ability to render decisions ac cording to the merits of the case. Ills decisions will not he based on hearsay, nor on plnusiblllty, but on first-hand knowledge. 4. Impnrtlal Judgment of the poor. The time Is coming when tho poor will get Justice. fi. Heproof with equity for tho meek. Jesus said that the meek shall Inher it the earth. 0. lie shall smite the enrth with the rod of his mouth. When ho comes the enrth will be utterly wicked. Apos tnsy will bo manifest on every hnnd. Ills blessed reign will be ushered In by the Judgment of the nations (Matt 2.1:31-40). IV. The Harmony and Peace of tht Kingdom (vv. 0-0). This harmony will prevail In the relationship of men and will be ex tended to the animal kingdom. War will be no more. The cow and the bear will feed together; the Hon will ent straw, not flesh. Tho sucking child will sport with the most deadly ser pent. Paradise will Indeed bo restored. This will be mndo possible through Hie personal reign of the Messiah In Jerusalem, (v. 0). V. How the Kingdom Will Be Set Up (vv. 10-13). 1. The elevation of tho King (v. 10). His elevation will he n sign to tho na tions; to this sign they will respond. Tho only wny to bring unity nmong the nations Is to exnlt Jesus Christ. 2. The regatherlng of Israel (vv. 11, 12). Out from tho nntlons of the earth Israel will be gathered. Israel nnd Judnh will unlto under tho one king In the city of Jerusalem. 3. Envy will disappear from Ephrnlm and Judnh (v. 13). When they see him nnd are Joined to him tho trlbnl an tipathy will dlsnppenr. 4. There will be physical changes which will niter tho surface of the earth (vv. in, 10). When redemption will bnvo been completed not only the spirits of men will bo In nccord, but there will he harmony In the nnlmnl world, mid changes will be brought about In the earth Itself which will make It fit for tho conditions under which men will then live.
