NIGHT was falling fast, and the snow was i>ilwl liigli against the outer walls of the hovel where a poor inou jik (peasant) named Kato mn lay dying in a little village in far away Russia. Katoma knew that he was going to die. It was Christmas eve, hut there was no gladness in the season for him. Ilis wife, whom he had loved very dearly, was already gone. For three consecutive years now his crops had failed. A few weeks before the wolves had devoured his last cow. If he had been entirely alone in the world he would have said to death, "Come; thou art welcome!" Hut there was one other, his hoy Ossip. The idea of death became ter rible when lie thought of leaving his boy all alone with not a copeck to bless himself with. When I tell you that it takes KMj copecks to make a ruble and that a ruble is less than 00 cents, you will understand how dreadfully poor Ka toma was. He could not die peacefully for think ing of Ossip's future. His dim eyes turned fondly toward the pillow by his side, which the hoy's thick black hair almost covered. Ossip lay motionless in sleep. The sick man put one feeble hand upon his hoy's smooth forehead and silently commended liini to heav en's care. The house was- very still. The hour was late. Ossip's healthy, regular breathing was the only audible sound. If only kind heaven would raise up one friend for his boy out of the millions of good people this big world swarmed with, Katoma felt that he should not mind how soon he was laid away un der the frozen sods. While his hand rested on Ossip's head and liis heart was filled with these anxious thoughts tlie door of the hovel opened softly. The motij'k turned wondering eyes in that direc tion, and there, coming noiselessly to ward liiiu across Ihe beaten earthen floor, was a tall woman with soft brown eyes full of pitying tenderness. She came close to the bed, on Ossip's side of it, and, looking down upon the sleeping child, she muttered: "Perhaps this is the one at last."' Katoma lookeJ at her anxiously. "Whence came you. good mother, and what seek you?" Across the sleeping boy she an swered softly: "I have coine for Ossip. They told nie in the village that thy days were numbered, and 1 knew that Ossip would need a friend. I will love and "l HAVK COME FOlt OSSIf." care for him as though lie were my very own. 1 am called ltaboushka. and I keep my promises." Then Katoma, the iuoujik, died hap py. for lie knew that ltaboushka was a friend to all little children, and when she gathered Ossip close into her moth erly arms when the end came the child ceased weeping for ids dead father. When Italtoushka and Ossip were well on their way to the old woman's home, in the next village, they heard a pitiful sound of weeping somewhere on the tree shadowed side of the road. The old woman stopped at the sound. "We will go and see who Ik in trou hie. Ossip. Our eyes and ears should always kept well opened so that no sign of distress may escape lis." I ill tiled by the sound, they came to n stone where, wailing and shivering in the darkness of the winter night, they found a little girl scarcely as large as Oxsip, who was not at all well grown for his eight years. ltaboushka knelt down by the child It lid, gathering Iter cold Utile feet Into N v. 11 in clasp, muttered "IVrhaps thi is the child."

BHGTUOK THE Clill'l'LKl) BOY IN 1IE1: ARMS not been alile to find her way back to the camp, and how she feared the wolves would devour her before any one should come to look for her. Then she told Baboushka that her name was Yasalissa. Baboushka clasped the little wander er to her great motherly heart. "That, indeed, the wolves shall not. my dear little Yasalissa. 1 cannot give thee back to thy aunt, for I know no better than thou dost where this great company of men and women may be camping for the night. But thou shalt go home with Ossip and me. Tlion shalt share our lire and our porridge, and all that is mine tliou shalt share with Ossip. I can keep the wolves of hunger and cold away, and if thy aunt comes to claim thee she shall find thee rosy and happy." Then Yasalissa quickly dried hex tears, and with her hand clasped in Baboushka's she trudged cheerfully forward until they came to a tiny little cottage set back from the road a shurt distance. In its one window a lamp was burning brightly. The window and the lamp belonged to Baboushka's cottage. She pushed its unlocked door open, and the chil dren entered with her into a clean swept, well warmed room. A large chair was drawn close up tc the hearth. As Baboushka entered she glanced eagerly at this chair, and again she muttered under her breath: "I had hoped he might have come while I was out." "Good mother," Ossip asked, "why do you leave a lighted lamp in the win dow when you go away?" "So that," she answered, "should any one go astray in the cold and the dark he might tiild his way to my poor cottage. And now li t us seu if the bean broth lias kept warm all this time. I made it Ik fore I left home in the early morning hours so that if any wander ors found their way hither they might not leave my roof hungered." The bean broth had kept warm. She bade Ossip throw a few more fagots under the pot and set Yaualissa on a stool in thi! warmest nook. Then she brought three bowls, filled litem with tin* bean broth aiul put them oil the table. Over them she asked a blessing. Before her own wooden spoon had made two journeys from bowl to lip she heard a timid knock at the door. She ran quickly to answer it. A tall, pale lad stood outside. In bis arms he carried a small mite of a boy, about whose shoulders was wrapped a worn and soiled woman's shawl. The toll, pale lad looked into the fire lighted room with longing eyes. Ilis teeth chattered with the cold as he asked: "Good mother, may we ask shelter for the night? The cold bites bitter hard, and my little brother Pe truslia is but a sickly cripple." Then Baboushka opened wide her door with an eager hand and fust beat ing heart. IVrhaps, at last, this was the child. What she said aloud was: "That indeed thou mayest. But why art thou abroad on such a bitter night with the little one?" She took the crippled boy In her strong, loving arms and carried him Straight to the greui chair In the chim ney corner. She rapped her own best shawl about him and chafed his small, withered feet until they glowed with warmth. The tall, pale latl looki d on gratefully. "I am eekini; an asylum for the lit tle one," lie said. "I have to work hard to keep hiir and myself froui want. A i ieh merchant I .is promised me work, but lie xuys 1 must not brlllg Petl'llsbu.

Only the tall lad and Baboushka sat by the fireside, because there was 110 bed left for them. "Tell me, good mother," the boy said, looking straight into her kind eyes, "why are you so good to all childrenV Your fame has gone abroad." Baboushka did not answer him at once. When she did, her voice sounded as sweet and solemn as church chimes at vesper time. "Yes, I will tell you, my son, for you are nearing your own years of respon sibility, and it will be well for you to learn in good time the solemn lesson that an opportunity once lost is lost forever. "Many years ago I was setting my house in order when three men stopped at my door with a great piece of news. " 'We have seen a radiant star in the ?ast,' they said, 'and we know that the Christ Child must be come. -Leave thy labor. Come with us to find him and to do him honor.' "But I sent them away with words of foolish impatience. 'Scest thou not that I am setting my house in order? Go thou to where the star beckons thee, and I will follow at some tnore '•nnvenient time, I can see its light ■without thy help.' "So they went their way and left mr togo mine. But when the time came that I found it convenient to follow the star clouds obscured the heavens, and there was no star to be seen, and so I knew not how to seek the Christ Child. "I have been seeking him ever since, up and down in the land. Whenever, wherever I see a little child I think perhaps I have found the One I seek, and my heart yearns over him. But not yet have I found tlie Christ Child, whose face must shine with the radi ance of the star 1 lost." With tears of s< :row wetting h<r eyelashes Baboushka fell asleep in her chair. She laid tilled all of her beds with eoltl and friendless children. And as she slept a tender hand seemed to dry her tears and a loving voice to whisper in her ears: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these little ones ye have done it unto me. They were homeless, and ye took them in. They were hun gry, and you have fed them. They were cokl, and you have warmed them. The Christ Child is in thy own heart." And on that glad Christmas morning Baboushka awoke with a great peace in her soul, for she knew that she had found him she hail been seeking far and wide. Facts about Medicine. "If yourVinol is such won derful stuff, what's the need of harping about it so much in the paper? There are twenty medi cines advertised in every sheet, and I don't believe what they say about any of them." Such was a remark heard in the store. We answer: We advertise Vinol because we have found it a good thing for cough, lung troubles, insomnia, weak women and children, old people and run-down folks. We advertise Vinol underour own name, and with our own guarantee because it is different from the twenty medicines our friend alluded to. For instance, it is not a secret preparation. It is endorsed by physicians. It has a surprising record of cures right here in town. It has our absolute guarantee of money back if you are not helped. We advertise Vinol to in crease its usefulness. It's pleasant to take. L.
