knew how near he had been to losing the
great treasure, of his life. t‘nly the

had saved her. He was not. likely to in«
cur like peril agaln. A solemn vow was
registeredof the kind that is kept.

gether. hand in hand they stood listen:

of life sweeps on. Thereis peace in

The Christmas chimes meant hope and
salvation to the two whose lives were re-
deemed—one from 81!! and one from

peace rested in benediction, while the
bells chimed:

The cross still gleained with dazzling

night. Those who sat. in darkness saw
