Gboylaughterandsweet voicessingingcarols,were heardandtheChristmasatmospherewaseverywhere.

However,oneman,Dr. Grant,wasunmovedbythis Christmashappiness,forhe wassourlyharnessinghis horse.Hefixedhissleigh ontothestrapsandsetoff onasickcall.

"Ofallthenightstoget sick,"hemutteredfuriously."Inthecountryside, too.WhyeverdidIbecome adoctor?"

Sincehisbelovedwife haddiedandhissmall daughterwasreportedlost atsea,whilereturningfrom schoolabroad,DoctorGrant, whohadpreviouslybeen extremelypopularamong thetownsfolk,disappeared fromsociety.Butbecause hewastheonlydoctorwithinmiles,thepeoplewere compelledtoaskhisassistance. Ashishorseplodded alongandhissleighjingled.DoctorGrantrecalled thelastChristmashisfamily hadcelebratedtogether.He rememberedhoweagerhis littledaughter,Janie,was tohelpwiththedecorations whilehiswifearrangedthe Christmastreeandwhenall wassaidanddone,thethree ofthemkneltinfrontof theirlittlecribandprayed together.Oh,howjolly down. werethosedays,howmuch

Hewassuddenlyjolted backtorealisationwhenthe sleighwentoveralog, whichhadbeencovered withsnow.However,there wasnoaccidentandsohe continuedonhisjourney.

EventuallyDoctorGrant Arrivedathisdestination. Alightingfromthesleigh, hewentupthesteps,then knockedonthedoor.A frailoldladywelcomedhim in,thenworriedlyshowed himintoaroomwherea childabout12yearsoldlay tossingfeverishly.

Takingouthisinstruments,thesurgeonwalked overtothebed.Whenhe perceivedthegirl'sface,he gaveastartledcry.

"Itcan'tbe,"hegasped unbelievingly.

"Whatisit,Doctor?What isthematter?"

Slightlyrecovering,the doctortoldtheoldlady abouthislittledaughter whowaslostatseaand andhowmuchthischild resembledhisowndear daughter.

DaughterRe-appears

Theoldladywasspeechlessforafewminutesthen shesuddenlyburstinto tearsandtoldthestoryof thesmallchildinthebed.

"Itwasabouttwoyears ago,"shestarted,"when mybrotherwasfishingin thesea.Suddenlyhesaw alifeboatwayoutinthe ocean,sohestartedhis launchandwentouttoit. HefoundJill,half-deadand sufferingseverelyfrom shock.Hebroughtherto meandIcaredforheras thoughsheweremyown. Yousee,shehaslosther memory.
