ssStay, pleaser' said the old man, plead

At that moment the SON came IN and, see

Wilton" he said in clear, sweet tone that
thrilled her with it's earnestness. t'Fatfer

delightful visits which frightened the days,

Babbette idgeted with the fringes Of
her shawl and wondered il college folks
and what they thought of "poor beggars
who couldn't appear WELL"
But the rector's son didn't seem to notice
any DEFICIENCIES in dress or manner, and
talked of her favorite books.a authors in
an easy, chatty way that made her feel at
ease in spite Of her misgivlngs.
ssWould you allow me to walk home with

and, smiling, she accepted the escort

DIFFICULT WORK.
How an Armature for q Dynamo Mach
Is Made.

How Armature for q Dynamo Machine
Is Made.
The most difficult and important part
of the structure is the armature, and
in building this the first thing is the
laminated iron core. For this pur-
pose an immense number of thin disks
of sheet-iron are cut out, each having
central hole to admit the shaft, and
several other holes for the bolts which
are to hold the series of disks together,
so as to make of them solid drum.
These disks are then piled one upon
another around the iron shaft which
is to form the axe of the armature,
and thick iron plates are applied at
each end and bolted together by iron
bolts going through from end to end.
The drum or cylinder thus formed is
then mounted in a lathe and turned
to a smooth surface, except for
such projections as may be left
for guides in winding on the copper
wires This is the next operation to
be performed: The workman draws
the insulated copper wire down from a
drum overhead and passes it length
wise around the armature core. which
IS supported oy Its axis In lathe,
while another workman assists him in
pressing the wire accurately into place
and keeping it close to the core. This
wire is not wound on continuously, but
in number of short sections whose
ends stick out somewhat irregularly
These ends are to be attached to the
successive sections of the commutator.
The numerous radiating lines at the
nearer end of the drum are parts of the
cOmmutator sections, which are at
tached at their outer ends to the sue
cessive coils of wire on the armature.
At their nearer ends these rad ial bars
bend at right angles, so as to pass
along the surface of the shaft. being
insulated from it and from each other

Hazhie trembled. He knew the mean
ing of this. The decision would affect
the size of his Christmas stocking and
also its contents. The two boys would
generally spend the night before Christ
mas with Uncle Solomon and Auntie
Chloe, receive a stockingful from Christ
mas-land per Santa Claus express, and
then go home after breakfast Christmas
morning. One year Auntie Chloe made
mistake and hung up one of her stock
ings for the boys. 1t fell to Hazhie, and
wasn't it a big one.
"Shc am mad now" unused this gloomy
young Persian. she won't glib me her
stocllin' dis year
No, Ahasuerus, Auntie Chloe has
taken a stocking such as mortals of
ordinary measurement wear! Indeed,
both of the boys stockings to be filled
by Santa Claus were of the same size,
but what difference there was in the
contents! Ncbbics was selected with
special care. The boys, though, knew
nothing positively about their stockings
save this, that Ncbbic's stocking occu-
pied the third place in the stockingrow

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, the Babylonian, in
behalf of Ahasucrus, the Persian, now
slipped out of bed. He stole among the
gay shadows of early morning in tho
stocking-row. He made number three
and number four change places. Then
he stole back to his side of the couch
where he slept with the enterprising
Persian.
"IIarl<" he said Was it the wind
moaning hard around the house, or some
creatures distant howl down in the
swamp by the dark bayou, or far-off
drum-roll from early Christmas rcjoic-
ings?
Dat am Uncle Sol'mon an Aunt
Chloe a-snorin'! An IIazhic am asleep.
All right said the happy Babylonian,
"lIazhic will hab de hes stockinl'
1t was the beautiful Christmas spirit
of forgiveness cherished by Ncbbic that
put him at ease with all mankind and
all his earthly surroundings, and he fell
into a deep. grateful slumbcr. Sleep is
blessing to which good conscience
has golden key. Covetous Hazhic
could not sleep. Think | won stop fur

"Oh-oh-bugglers!" shricked Auntie
Chloe, pulling the bed-clothes over her
head. "Solmun, jes' go an see"
1t was the last thing Uncle Solomon
wished to do. as staying in bed and hol-
lcring were far more convenient, but he
obcycd his wife. Hazhie looked up.
What was it, that tall figure in white
that he saw?
''Old Santie" he groaned, and fled
for his bed.
Uncle solomon was startled. He saw
something white and spectral fitting
over the floor in the moonlight, and
prudently, trcmblingly, went back to
bed.
"Who date" inquired Auntic Chloe.
Uncle solomon was dumb. Auntie
Chloe shook him.
''SufIln' in white" snapped out Uncle
Solomon.
Auntie Chloe did not shake again.
dat am Santie,' she whispered. With
big eyes she lay in silence till Santa
Claus friend and fellow-conspirator,
sleep, shook a poppy flower over her
eyes and she dropped into a slumber.
Toward morning Nebuchadnezzar had
a thought. This young Babylonian said:
'Hazhie has hard time at home. /
know my stockin' am better. III glib it
to him."
Yes, Ahasuerus did have the harder
time at home. His fathers cabin was
on rice plantation. Nebuchadnezzar's
father lived on the sugar plantation of
'Massa Jurdan." Oh, the untold sweets
of such life in the shadow of the tall

AS soon as it was actually light he
shouted: Merry Christmas, Uncle
Sol'mun! Merry Christmas, Auntie
Chloe! Don tinll ken wait for brck-

His tongue caught in his teeth when
he tried to wish his late bedfellow a
merry Christmas. OF he went, clutch

Nebbie.
''IIe hab de right one, honey" replied
Auntie Chloe.

saying: GLOW am dis? Dis am mys-

Another minute and her sable face
was awry with Indignation. Ahasuerus,
or Hazhie, as he was generally called,
had thrown NcbuchadncZzar down-Neb-
bic, for Shorthand IIazhie was kicking
Nebbie.
Auntie Chloe marched at once to the
battle-ground. She separated the boys
and sent them into tho cabin. Then
she sat in Judgment upon that humiliat-
ing scene. IIaZhie was the stronger and
less tractable boy, envious and cruel.
Nebbie was a bunch of generous nature,
and his weaker frame often fell a victim
to his cousins assaults. When Auntie
Chloe had special largess to bestow, or
a special wrong to redress, she used the
boys full names.
"A-hazh-zhu-ee-rus I'm shamed oh
We! BY yer own ownin"up, yer began
it, an yer bout finish Neb-bu-chad-naz-
EUR. What do yer say fur yerself?"
Dunno was the sullen answer.
"Ncb-bu-chad-naz-zu What am l to

"Dunnom sobbed Nebbie.
81 'spose yer would let him CO." said
Auntie Chloe.
Up and down went Nebbie's head.
"He wont--do it--agin--and-it's Christ
mas, Auntie," sobbed Nebbie. Auntie
Chloe shook her head doubtfully. She
did not know about making so small the
terms of Ahasuerus' payment.
"A-hazh-zhu-ee-rus must not spect so
much Christmas from his auntie," said

HE THOUGHT HE MUST BE DREAMING.
The old man wiped his specs again. Said he:
"'Tis mighty queer
That should get such funny things, and SO
near my bier
I am 'afraid-I am afraid-Tm very sure, this
year,
That Santa Claus IS been getting drunk on
whisky or on beer"
On Christmas morn the lassie gay her stocking
full she found,
With plenty more of curious things pinned up
and nailed around
She wiped her eyes five hundred times; she
thought she must be dreaming,
Each package was so very queer; at last she
fell TO screaming.
One pair of spectacles OF gold, two goggles, gray
and blue,
A golden box, three pounds OF snuc, six pipes
all bright and new,
Five pairs of socks of wooden blue, three night
caps foot bath, too,
Suspenders four, two satin stocks, hair dye Of
blacklist hue,
Pajamas two, three morning gowns, six razors
sharp and bright,
With brush and cup and shaving cream, one
crutch both strong and light,
Six canes, suit OF nice, warm clothes just
suited for a dandy,
prayerbook with the largest type, one bottle
of old brandy.
The lassie wiped her eyes again. Said she:
"'Tis mighty queer
That should get such funny things. and in my

To leave for me such useless things, and 1 a

When Santa Claus had left that night and
found out his mistake

then came Ncbbic's, being few months
older than his cousin, whose gifts had

an evil thought while lying in his bed:

On Christmas Day, at dinner time, old Santa
sought the city,
And changed the things from house to house,
laughed danced and sang ditty.
And when, the Christmas dinner DER, the old
man sought his room,
The phantom change perplexed his mind with
JOY and awe and gloom.
. And when, the Christmas dinner DER, the lassie
sought her room,
No pack of frecrackers e'er created such a
boom.
She laughed, she cried and flew about, jumped
high upon stool,
And said: TT is not Christmas Day; it must
be April Fool"
Now, when the old man thinks OF it, his
thoughts are very hazy,
HE hardly knows Just what TO think, while sure
! he was not crazy.
And when the lassie thinks OF it, her thoughts
are very may;

The good old saint was Swimming,
But from his face the smile had flown,
In tears his eyes were swimming;

Had filed his heart with sorrow,
For some dear little friends would miss
His presents on the morrow.

"Fd always build my little nest
In the top Of q Christmas-tree."
