Mike started, and his knees trembled

had been years since Mike had gone
to mass, much less to confession, and

Mike Conover, burglar, the day be-
fore Christmas stood on a sidewalk In
a great city and watched th^ shoppers.
On the other side of the street was a
large jewelry store, in and out of
which throngs of peonle were going
and coming, many of them carrying I
the goods they had bought rather than
risk not getting them before Christmas
mornlug if left to be sent home by the
delivery wagon.
Mike was watching for some pros-
perous looking person to come out of
the store, his pockets bulging with
small packages—he knew the small
ones to be the most valuable—intend-
ing to follow him borne and during the
night relieve him of them. Presently
he hit upon an elderly gentleman with
mutton chop whiskers and a gold bead-
ed cane, who, as be emerged from the
store, *wns cramming the said small
packages down into his pocket. Mike
followed him, noted the house he en
tered and went away.
The town clocks were striking one
hour after midnight when the burglar
bent his steps to the house in question,
passed from the front steps on to a
balcony, inserted a jimmy under a
window sacb, pulled out the screws
that held the sash, raised it and eu
tered a large drawing room. Th<-
Christmas presents were doubtless
kept above, so, feeling bis way up
stairs, he found a hall lighted by a
gas jet turned very low. He turned
it a trifle higher in order the better to
see the way and, looking into an open
door, saw two little children asleep
with their arms about each other. To
the mantel hung two long stockings
bulging in every part. On a bureau
was a crucifix.
Mike had been brought up a Catholic
by an honest, hardworking mother
and remembered when a lad quite well
grown seeing his little brother and
sister, both less than five years old.
lying in bed together In this fashion. 1
He remembered It especlaJly because
he had just come in with some toys to
put into their stockings. The sight
took him back to those days when he
had not yet gone to the bad, and there
camo a sinking about his heart. He
passed back through a narrow hallway
and, opening a door, entered a portion

i Itlme story for Jack and Evelyn, “there lived in Rome a wise and
i-od man named Cincinnatus. He hart been rich and great, but he
bad lost his money, so that be lived no longer in the city, but on a
little farm near Rome. He was known to be a wise and brave man, so that
the people came to him when they needed advice.
“At one time there lived in the mountains not very far from Koine a tribe
of savage men who thought they could take the city away from the Homans
These savages were good fighters, and they got together a large army, so that
all the Roman soldiers had to leave the city to fight them, save some old men
and boys and a few aoidlers who were left to guard the walls from a sudden
attack. The Romans thought they could beat the savages ensily The Romans
were a very proud, haughty people.
“But soon there came bad news to the city Home messengers came back
to tell that the great nr try of the Romans had been caught in the mountains
with the enemy on uH sides of them, so that they cot Id not get out. Help was
badly needed, or else all the Roman soldiers would be killed and the city would
be captured. What could the Romana do?
