"We don't have to set up and watch like the shepherds." We drew our boots on the chair round with hands clasped over the knee—how familiar is the process, and yet I haven't seen it in more than half a century! I lighted a candle and scampered up -stairs in my stock- ing feet, Uncle Peabody following close and slapping my thigh as if my pace were not fast enough for him. In the midst of our skylarking the candle tumbled to the floor and I lied to go back to the stove and re- light it. How good ft seemed' to be back in the old room under the shingles! The heat of the stove -pipe had warmed its hospitality. "It's been kind o' lonesome here," said Uncle Peabody as he opened the WI TICIOW. "I always let the wind come in ,to keep me company—it gits so warm." I lay down between flannel sheets on the old feather bed. What a stage of dreams and slumbers it had been. for it was now serving the third gen- eration of Bayneses! The old popple tree had thrown off its tinkling cym- bals and now the winter wind hissed and whistled in its stark branches. Then; the deep, sweet sleep of youth from which it is a joy and a regret to come buck to the world again. I wish that I could know it once more "Ye can't look at yer stockin' yit," said Aunt Deel when I came downstairs about eight o'clock having slept through chore time. I remember it was the delicious aroma of frying ham and buckwheat cakes which 'a- woke me, and who wouldn't rise an shake off the cloak of slumber on bright, cold winter morning with such provocation? "This ain't no common Chris'mas- 1 tell ye," Aunt Deel went on. "Santa Claus won't git here short o' noon I wouldn't wonder—ayes!" '13y thunder!" exclaimed Uncle Peabody as he sat down at the table 'This is goin' to be a day o' pur, fun—genawine anuncommon. Tak..

Then came other aunts and encles and cousins. With what noi good cheer the menentered the hot], • after they ,had put up their horses! I remember how they laid their hard heavy hands on my head and shook it a little as they spoke of my "stretchin' up" or gave me a playful slap on the shoulder—an ancient tok- en of good will—the first form of the accolade, I fancy. What joyful good humor there was in those sim- ple men and woment—enough to temper the woes of a city if it could have been applied to their relief. They stood thick around the stove warming themselves and taking off its griddles and opening its doors and surveying it inside and oat with much curiosity. Suddenly Uncle Hiram tried to put Uncle Jabez in the wood -box while the others laughed noisily. I remem- ber that my aunts rallied me on my supposed liking for "that Dunkelberg girl." ,Now for the Chris'ma,s tree," said Uncle Peabody as he teethe way in- to our best room, where a fire was burning in the old Franklin grate, "Come on, boys an' 'girls." What a wonderful sight was the Christmas tree—the first vie had in our house—a fine ,spreadingbalsam loaded with presents! Uncle Hiram jumped into the air and clapped his feet together and shouted: "Hold i,„.„.,..,3,71--,• ,. , f.N..•;A!L'i.,',).:1.4 z`'N'I - -., • - - :-.4„,7;pi . 1 iliti- - ''('''''?',''.,:''4i--;•-•,Cd:1 •N, : vai ,:",:, i .•,:, Lb4j'211,427.114.:.'"---11 .1 i Children Love It and It's Good for Them Nothing better for Child- ren than delicious desserts made from MeLAREN'S INVINCIBLE Jelly Pow- ders.

Then what Falstafllan peals of laughter! In the midst of it Aunt Deel open- ed the front door and old Kate, the Silent Woman, entered. To my sur- prise, she wore a decent -looking dress of gray homespun cloth and a white cloud looped over her head and ears and 'tied around her neck and a good pair of boots. "Merry Chris'mas!" we all shont- ed. She smiled and nodded her hear and sat down in the chair which Uncle Peabody had placed for her at the stove side. Aunt Deel took the cloud off her head while Kate drew her mittens—newly knitted of the best yarn, Then my aunt brought soma stockings and a. shawl from the tree and laid them on the lap of old Kate. What a silence fell upon us as we saw tears coursing down the cheeks of this lonely old woman of the coun- trysidel—tears of joy, doubtless, for God knows how long it had been since the, poor, abandoned soul had seen a merry Christmas and shared its kind. floss I did not fail to observe how clean her face and hands looked; she was greatly changed. She took my hand as I went to her side and tenderly caressed it. A gen. tle) snide came to her face than ever I had seen upon it.

It has long strings o' gold that reach 'way out across the land o' Nowhere—ye call 'Em stars, The winds and the birds play on it. Sure, the birds are my hens.'

"He ran to the edge o' the tree roof and took hold o' the end of a long rope en' down in the air.

As I returned to my seat hy the stove I cmald dimly see her form against the het of the window. We sat in silence fel' a little while, Aunt Deel broke it hy singing in a low tone as she rocked:— "My days are passing swiftly by And I—a pilgrim stranger— Would not detain them as they fly, These days of toil and danger." Uncle Peabody rose and got a candle and lighted it at•the hearth. "Wal, Bart, well do the chores, an' then I warn ye that we're goin' to have some fun," he said as he got his lantern. "There's goin' to be some 01' Sledge played here this evening an' I wouldn't wonder if Kate could beat us all.", I held the lantern while Uncle Pea- body fed the sheep and the two cows and milked—a slight chore these win- ter days. "There's nothing so 'cold on earth as a fork stale 00 a winter night," he remarked as he was pitching the hay, "Wish I'd brought my mittens." "You and I 81'0 to go oft' to bed purty early," he said as we were go- ing back to the house. "Yer Aunt Deel wants to see Kate alone and git her to talk if she can," Kate played with us, smiling now and then at my uncle's merry ways and words, but never speaking. It was poor fun, for the cards seemed to take her away from us into other scenes so that she had to be reminded of her turn to play. "I dunno but she'll swing back into this world ag'in," said uncle Peabody when we had gone up to our little room. "I goes, all she needs is to be treated like a human bin'.

"I didn't say they could—did I? ye unbeliever!" said the schoolmaster as he rose and led us in to the supper table, "I said Nobody did it." We got him to tell this little tale over and over again in the days that followed, and many times since then that impersonal and mysterious guide 1JQg :at(40.16; tt:glrasiirga pauaabatemnt::re:ev" *‘7ehooil40Ox, lama of rolutterin "God.

'Alt, my lad—there's the heat thingI have sgen ye • do—get up an' come back with no mad in ye," he said as he gave me his hand. • One day the schoolmaster caged the older boys to the front seats iu his room and I among them. "Now, boys, I'm going to ask ye what ye want to do in •the world,' he. said. "Don't be afraid to tell me what ye may never have told before and I'll do what I can to help ye." He asked each one to make con - Cessions and a most remarkable ex- hibit of young ambition was the re- sult. I remember that most of us wanted to be statesmen—a fact due probably to the shining example of Silas Wright. Then he said that on a' certain evening he would try "to show us the way over the mountains." For some months I had been study- ing a book just published, entitled, Stenographic Sound -Hand and had learned its alphabet and practised the use of it. That evening I took down the remarks of Mr. Hacket in sound - hand. • The academy chapel was crowded with the older boys and girls and the tewnfolk. The master never clipped his words in school as he was wont to do when talking familiarly with the children. "Since the leaves fell our little village had occupied the center of the stage before an audience of mil- Li6ns in the great theater of congress. Our leading citizen—the chief actor —has been crowned with immortal fame. We who watched the play were thrilled by the query: Will Uncle Sam yield to temptation or cling to honor? He has chosen the latter course and we may still hear the ap- p!ause in distant galleries beyond the sea. He has decided that the public revenues must be paid in honest mon- ey. "My friend and classmate, George Bancroft, the historian, has written this letter to me out of a full heart: "'Your fellow townsman, Silas Wright, is now the largest figure in Washington. We were all worried by the resolution of Henry Clay until it began to crumble under the irresist- ible attack of Mr. Wright. On the lath he submitted a report upon it which for.lucid and accurate state- nents presented in the most unpre- tending manner, won universal ad- miration and will beremembered a- like for its intrinsic excellence and for having achieved one pf the most memorable victories ever gained in the United States Senate. After a. long debate Clay himself, compelled by the irresistible force of argument in the report of Mr. Wright, was obliged to retire from his position, his resolution having been rejected by a vote of 44 to 1.'" With what pride and joy I heard of this great thing that rny friend had accomplished! The schoolmaster werit on: "It is a very good and proper thing my boys, that you should be inspired by the example of the great man, whose home is here among us and whose beloved face is as familiar as my own, to try your talents in the service of the state. There are cer- tain things that I would have you remember. "First—Know your subject --inside and outside and round about and from beginning to end.

"Then by overwhelming proof he set forth the opinion of our people ou the subject in hand. Studiously the Senator bas hidden himself in his task and avoided in every possible way attracting attention from his purposes to his personality. "Invitations to accept public din- ners as a compliment to himself have received from him this kind of reply: "'A proper attention to the duties, on the discharge of which you so kindly desire to compliment me re- quires that I should decline your in- vitation,'" All this was new to me, although much more was said touching his love for simple folk regarding which I needed no instruction. Altogether, it helped me to feel the deep foundations on which my friends, the Senator, had been building in his public life. Going out with the crowd that evening, I met Sally and Mr. and Mrs. Dunkelberg. The latter did not speak to me and when I asked Sally if I could walk home with her she answer- ed curtly, "No, thank you." (Continued next week.)
