Ing. hud (elected n reputable clien

air of nrlslocrncy.
Ivan Vlihil was a decided Instltu
Hon of the ptnee. Old residents could
remember him hack for ten years. He

constant smile nnd eager, friendly
ways scnttercd sunshine.
"I hnvc to work hard. I have a big
family, you know," Ivnn delighted to
tell strangers and new friends. And
then he would count on his lingers,
"(Iraiidpii. Oriimlmti, and Ihu five lit
tie children," and the lovcllght would
coino Into bis eyes as he enumerated
(hem upcriilenlly: "llebecca, Ituchel,
Itulli, .liirnb nnd Levi."
Hut the big family did not entirely
represent kith and hlu of the generous
heurleil fellow who hud conic flout
IdM home tieriws the water Willi a wife,
to lose her In a your, and to have her
aged father ami mother, nelllicr now

not earn much mid their quartern
were confined, but nut only did hn
inaiiiige lo nmke the old piople com
forluble, but when a cIo.ho friend, a
widower, died, Ivan adopted his tfou
little ouch.
"I have none; they mIiiiII ho as my
own," lie pledged himself, mid never
fulled In Ihu sacred pledge.
Ivan was a peddler of plus, needles,
yum, and boxe,
An Incident occurred about six
months before Christians that gave
Ivan 11 secret lo keep, but Hie result
of which ho did not experience until
Inter. One day quite a distance from
Hie city, sealed eating IiIh humble
lunch 011 tho veranda of a road liouso
ho overheard two men talking. They
mentioned a iitiuui that caused Ivan
to prick up his curs. It wiih that of
A I ma llelniHhy, the daughter of his
wealthy landlord. Ivan wiih quick
willed, plecinl together Hie fuels

the men expectisl to huvo MM HcIiiih-

ami they were lo elope. KuoumIi wiih
kIchiunI by Ivhii lo confirm the fact
Hint the fellow wiih a inoicllcn scoun

the money of the rich helrens.

She bellevtHl him, and pule and In
learn returned home, offering him
money for Ids fccnlce, which Ivnn re
fiiMtl, and Imploring him lo keep the
entire matter secret.
Ivan had forgot 1 en all about this In
cident as time pusnsl on, It was Hear
ing holiday time when ho cmiio homo
from 0110 of his trips with it bug full
of farm plunder for tho little ouch
and a great fat white gooxo. It was
to tdguulUc their Christmas dinner
and was an object of Immense Inter
14.1 to thu cxpcvtiiut children. Little
I.uvl had set xoiuo hay uiidor the fowl,
"lo lay an egg 011," he put It, and the
spirit of tho wagon lufoi'lod all bauds.
Then a queer thing happened. John
lleluisby dropped In several (hues
during the week. He evinced it new
uud mysterious Interest In Ids poor
tenant. Then, Just a day before
Christinas, he brought his daughter
with him. .Mr. lleluisby had been told
nil about the goose and the expectant
egg. and his daughter bud to bo show 11
(he prUed fowl by little Levi,
She gave Ivan an Intense look ns
bhe departed, and tho honest peddler
was in) stilled Just then. Not later,
however, on Christmas morning, when
Levi burst Into the room excitedly
with the Incredible announcement :
"Ob, father, father, tho goose has
laid a golden egg I"
And there In his hand was the evl
doiuvu glided paplcMiuiche egg, and
Inside of It was found two $1,000 bills,
Ivan VldHl's reward for saving h
young girl from a lifetime of misery,
and keeping Ids knowledge a secret.
The poor, honest fellow wept for
Joy as ho realised how much the great
gift meant to himself and those he
loved upon that blessed, happy Christ
uius morn.
