A L L day long they had been go-
1 * ing by the inn, cam els and don
keys s tirrin g up dust, w eary men
and women resting by the stream
outside the inn yu rd . The little coun
tr y m aid had never seen so m uch
tra v e l.
Ju s t outside the c ity o f Jerusalem ,
near by the v illa g e of Bethlehem ,
there were plenty of people who
stopped fo r refreshm ent. And Jere
m iah kept a good inn. He was a
good m an too. B ut
he was h ard, spar
ing neither m an nor
beast. And his niece
Rebecca was hard
put to do the tasks
th a t were set before
her.
"W h y are there so
m any tra v e le rs to
d a y ? " she asked the
little slave g irl who
helped her prepare
the evening meal.
"The trib e s m e n ," replied F a tim a ,
" a re going to Jerusalem to be num
bered, so th a t they m ay pay th e ir
taxes. And th is w ill continue fo r
days. These are not tim e s of re
jo ic in g and feasting fo r u s !"
Rebecca looked up as a bearded
m an, leading an ass on w hich a
young wom an rode, entered the
c o u rty a rd .
“ Is the inn keeper
h e re ? " he asked gently. " M y w ife
and I seek s h e lte r."
“ There are no rooms le ft," F a
tim a told h im , going on w ith her
w ork. But Rebecca looked up at the
wom an, whose face was w eary and
touched w ith pain.
“ I w ill see what provision can be
m a d e ," the little m aid exclaim ed.
H e r eyes never le ft the young w om
an's sweet face The woman sm iled
at Rebecca, and her husband sm iled
too. Rebecca’s face lightened ea
g e rly and even F a tim a found her
self softening.
Rebecca had some d iffic u lty find
ing her uncle, busy as he was w ith
m any things. Then it was hard to
m ake him listen.
“ There m ust be some place, un
cle. T hat new stable, w ith the clean
stra w , would be w a rm and c o m fo rt
able.
She cannot go fa rth e r, I
know .”
“ So be it , ” he answered. Then,
as they neared the group, he too
was im pressed by the young w om
an's beauty and the lovely w a rm th
o f her sm ile. "T h e re is naught but
the stable,” he told them , " b u t Re

? L f í H Í
becca w ill seek to m ake you com

fo rta b le th e re ."
Even a fte r she had done e ve ry
th in g she could, and had cre p t into
her own d a rk corner fo r the night,
Rebecca found she could not forget
the couple in the stable. M a ry, the
m an had called his w ife. There was
such a radiance about her. " I won
der w hat makes her so d iffe re n t,"
Rebecca thought. And she opened
her eyes.
SAFEWAY STORES
In am azem ent she saw lig h t in
the c o u rtya rd , so m uch th a t it
seemed the dawn m ust have come.
B ut the lig h t cam e fro m a s ta r th a t
shone ju s t about the stable. Out into
the ya rd the g irl cre p t, and sudden
ly she heard a c h ild ’s c ry , a cooing,
happy sound.

Rebecca looked about.
No one
was s tirrin g . F a r off, on the h ill
side she saw w hat looked lik e a
group of men, shadowy, in d is tin c t,
seem ingly m oving tow ard Bethle
hem. I t m ust be her im a g in a tio n .
Possibly it was E p h ra im 's vin e ya rd
she saw. Soon she stood in the stable
doorw ay.
There, lig h te d by a la n te rn , was
Joseph, bending over the young
woman and holding in his a rm s a
tin y baby—her firstb o rn . A t Rebec
ca’ s excla m a tio n he turned, and in
to her outstretched a rm s he handed

the little figure and showed her the
snowy lengths of sw addling cloth.

M a ry
drew

w alked to the doorw ay and watched
Rebecca as she returned to her

turned to the m anger and settled
down beside M a ry and the sleeping
