Betty stopped. Were the angels
playing? As she listened the strains
of Christmas music became sweeter.
“Oh! Mums!” cried the little
four-year-old child as she raised her
little, blue arms toward the skies.
“Olhi Mums!’-’ Send an angel for
little Betty, too.”
The .ragged little figure fell

“Oh!” gasped Betty. “Oh! It is

Away in the far corner was a
Christmas tree. Betty’s eyes grew
big. It was so pretty and it had a
doll. Betty's gasps echoed through
the church as she walked towards
the tree.
The music faded away and Betty’s
little gasps of wonder reached the
organist. He turned around.
"Oh! This is Heaven. Now I’ll see
Mums.” Betty looked all about her.
She saw the organist.
“Tell me p’ease, is this Heaven?
And is that a Christmas tree?” ask
ed Betty, shyly as she went up the
steps to him.
The organis smiled. "Yes. That is
a Christmas tree.”
“Then this is Heaven, isn't it?”
asked Betty again. “And I will find

••But this must be Heaen, ’cause
Mums told her ’’ittle Betty that
Christmas trees grew in Heaven for
poor ’ittle gills like me. So this must
be Heaven and that’s my Christmas
tree, isn’t it?” reasoned Betty.
The organist hugged her to him.
“You hug me just like Mums did
before the angels took her away,”
whispered the little one as she put
her arms around his neck. “Have
you a little Betty at your home to
hug?”
“No, Betty. I had a little Mary
but the angels took her to be with
them just as they did your mother
and now—” The organist could not
finish.
'Tse so sorry,” sympathized the
child, putting her tiny hand up to
his face. “We’ll both stay here till
the angels play again. Then maybe
they will tell us how to get to Heav
en. Won’t Mums and Mary be glad
to see us?”
The organist smiled and wrapped
his own big coat about Betty. He
carried her out into the bleak De
cember twilight and home.
’Tse so happy,” sighed, Betty as
she nestled in the organist’s arms on
Christmas night. “I have a new Dad
dy and a big Christmas tree. It was
the angels’ music in that little bit of
Heaven what isn’t Heaven, wasn’t
it? It did it.”
“Some day we’ll find Mums and
Mary, won’t we, Daddy?” murmured
Betty.
The organist smiled as the little
head rested on his Chest.
