In their prayer they bemoaned their fate and besought the aid of Heaven to save them from It in some way, though an angel from Heaven should be sent to ward off this awful degradation. It so happened that Nicholas, the beloved priest, the one whose name may be found In every church calen dar as the Bishop, tho Saint of Lycia it so happened, I say. that Nicholas was passing by, arid he heard their supplications and prayerful laments tior.s. so lie resolved to be the in salvation. ciruiucut of A few nights the father vas aroused by a heavy object falling upon the floor of his chamber, cast through an open window. He arose and found a packet upou which was For .Margarita, the Inscribed; ?tarl; to him whom her heart shall relect In lawful wedlock Opening li ho found, in gold, the dowry required by the law and custom.

None but an angel could have done this thing, and deep In the hearts of Roxana and Claudia there was a trustful faith that they, also, would be saved in like And so it happened, for manner. after Margarita was lawfully and happily espoused, and the second month bad almost halved, the father was again awakened at night by the falling of some heavy object upon his chamber floor. This timo the packet boro the words: "Lot the lovely Rox ana find in her lawful spouse a new Dawn of Day."

Canst thou not And his understand ?" Majesty frowned. The Lord of Lucan knew too well, but he knew not what to say, and stood in deep, painful thought. Mayhap he breathed a prayer to Heaven. The King broke roughly in upon his cogitations. "I am accustomed to he obeyed, as well krowcsl, my Lord of Lucan, wherefore be advised. Within a month, the fair Margarita, thy Pearl, sbal find a downed mate, or yield to each alliance as I may select. Within a'lothc--r month, thy Dawn of Day, the lovely Roxana, shall likewise mate in lawful wedlock or submit to my alternative. So also, In still another month thy Clur.dia.thu lame one, must ibid her dowry, or, mark you, my noble lord, her alliance shall be sought below stairs among the scullions of my kitchen. 'Tls thus I shall slop the clamors of my court, and ease my conscience by granting thee tin.e for reflection. Go, and remember. The unfortunate father left the presence of bis King with the bitterness of despair in his heart Ilia soul revolted, hut his arm was power Icbs against the mighty monarch. He was impotent to obey the royal command, and the alternative meant death to him, and worse than death to his Innocent flock. But home he went, and clasping his beloved daughters to hie breast, he imparted the orders of their King. Father, we can die," said the courageous Margarita. But the Dawn of Day loved life, and euid: No, let us wait and see, per baps we can melt the heart of the King and turn him from his fell pur pose." But Claudia, the lame girl, clasping her hands and looking up to Heaven, said: Let us kneel and ask guidance On him from the Lord on High. alone can we rely for help and wis- wagons and chariots, and bushels of candy which a beneficent Santa Claus filled when all was still In the house." There are big hearts, too, that throb with hope and expectation on the eve of the anniversary of the Christ child, and exult with joy in unison with the merry chimes, when they find somewhere. In the morning, a choice gift, upon which the dew of a loving friendship still lingers. Moreover, the hero of the tale is the original Santa Claus, the true, the slmon pure. His sled and graceful reindeer are another matter for where he lived and practiced bis kind and loving deeds, there was neither crisp, crackling snow, nor stinging frost. The air was always balmy and the winter time was the summer, so there were no warm furs, nor yawning chimneys down which to drive his good hut, nevertheless, Santa Claus lived and breathed; warn loud tlowi I in his veins, and 1'C Hie brans of the joung peo and fdad jubiini.t. ple The lord of I, i!i in wa a proud and haughty i:obl. !;' was a captain In a post of honor ti.c Kiig's was all the hut not of protit - a:il because his and haughtier piouJvr wealth was not mm'ucusurato with his rank. To add to the lord's embarrassment. he was tlie father of three beautiful and accomplished daughters, Margarita the Pearl; Roxana, the Dawn of Day, and Claudia, the Lame. That ho loved them and regarded them each as the apple of his eye, was evident, from their affection for him, and bis personal economies to fit them for attendance at a gorgeous court, where, alas! they were compelled to go by the King's command, their father being one of his chief otllcers. Mary a silent tear he shed; many a time Lis in art was wrung and torn because of the scornful, envious, jealous gianrca of the haughty dames and demoiselles, who looked down apon the three poor girls whose father could not deck them with flashing jewels and silken garments, or hang ropes of pearls and diamonds around their lovely necks. They were upstarts, most of them, but they fared well in this world's goods, though they had little beauty and few accomplishments.
