Everywhere. that the message of -the Christ Child had. reactied, men and WorDeD were busy and happy pre paring for the grent das. a pew and added joy of life surging within their hearts.

Into each home there hid come a strengthening of family. ties and new birth of love and service that reached out even. beyond the home. Out on the reservation, however, the Indians went about their tasks as usual, for no hint of the wonder and. the glory of the Christmas time bad yet come to them.

And It they felt mysterlous something in the air at this time. they. understond it not at all, for the brightness from the Star of Bethlehem had not yet burst upon them. Moonlight Brook was very lonelyshe had only little SUver. Stur, her daughter, with her now--the big chief had sent Strong her.

husbund, with other braves, ou mission to distant village. And Muonlight Brook had missed him every hour, for their love was still burrIng as bright as the big camp fire that blazed near the tepees. at dusk. Her love of the wrent open spaces helped to cheer ber during long hours of his absence. Every day with little Silver Star she wandered afar.

In these lonely places that she. went there always came to her the sense of some unknown presence--the band of some great power. Carly one moruing Moonlight Brook called little Silver Star to her and told her that, they would go for a long walk, away up. to. Roaring Moonlight Brook was.

lost in wonder at the beauty of the scene. but great and sudden change hind come over the das: looking at the lowering, threatening sky, she decided that she must make all possible haste hack to the village. For with the darkness and the gloom that had come over. all there had come, too, from across the pratrie aL low: menacing wind that carried with it at times small, dry snowflakes. With Silver Star In her arms Moonlight Brook started in the direction of the village, walking with the swift, strong stride of the woman who lives much in the open The snow now was coming down in large fakes the wind had grown blizzard-like in its velocity.

Hope was fast dying within her, for she was trembling from haustion. Then overwrought nuture did the thing which she had tried hard to keep from happening -she sunk upon the snow--her last thought 'as she felt consciousness lenving her, to wrap the blanket closer about little Silver Star and to waft: a prayer to. the Great Spirit to take care of Strong Ouk when she was gone: But the prairie has manny stories to tell of strange things that have happened there, and on this day there was added to the list another of those coincidences which' happen oftener in real life than some would bave us belleve. For Strong. Onk ond his party conte by the very.

spot where Moonliglit Brook and Silver Star lay a short time after they had sunk: exhausted. Some of the men had tried to take the trail, but something, within him, that strange, unknown force which comes to all at times, made hir choose the Roaring Creek trail instead and he' found dis loved ones and with the help of the guides they reached the villago in safety. A few hours later, Moonlight Brook Strong Oak sat hand in. band, the estastic happiness of being reunited. surging within them.

Moonlight: Brook whispered over and over that it was a miracle that the Great Spirlt bad wrought that Strong Oak should have found her. And Strong Oak told her that while he' Sad been gone he had heard the story. of the Christ Child who had come upon earth on. this day, which ever since bas. been.

called. Christmas: As Moonlight Brook, listened to the beantiful story that has been told so much, but which keeps its thrill througb the ages, she felt that this day was indeed a day. of miracles, for; like ber bronzed brave, the" story. brought ter -a wonderful peace aud stilled the restless longlogs which bad come to her so often to the past, 1923.
