A Play in One Act by W. Riley

Christmas Eve does not necessarily mean an abundance of good things, and in the cottage of the poor shepherd there are few delicacies. His daughter-in-law, Martha, complains, but her little girl, Gracie, is more in sympathy with the old man, and lights a candle to attract one of the Lord's Poor Brothers. Guided by the candle, but he is no Saint, only a fugitive from justice, a stranger arrives.
