sparrow could still be trusted to provide
in His inscrutable time and manner for
the helpless family without pumping
them into the poor-house, whittier they
appeared to be gravitatins.
They are headed that wav moo, . said
Sandy Rae to his better half with snort
of disdain as he left the cnurch, but he
signed as he added, 'sAnd I'm maist
afeerd there'll be no turnin them room. !"
As his wife remained silent, walking by
lis side, Sandy gave another snort ex-
pressing contempt. "Hec&! Yon man
instead o being man O. uncommon re-
sources, is mair like Jack Dean. You
remember Jack wi the stiff neck, an a
stlifef baak? When he wanted to see his
daughter Jenny, he ca ad to his son-in-
law Tom Parker, sayin' WI your help,
an tho Lords we'll max GOT, Tom,' but
ToG was ever o the opinion he bore his
own an the Lords share"
A nights rest did not allay Sandy's
disgust, nor soften his temper. He put
his bad temper into his work, and it
found free vent when the day turn came
on in the mill, Monday, and the night
hands gathered in the little railway sta
ton to wait for the train that carried
them to their homes. Many there like
himself had attended the church Satur-
day evening, aud these were greatly edi-
fed with sandy's analysis of Mr.. Barnes's
sermon.
"You don't think Barnes's prayers are
worth any more than the price of two or
three hundred ball tickets at dollar
head" said pale-faced young man who
was noted for his imperturable good
nature.

'I'm crying With joy, John" said
Mrs. Dunn.
.If Mr.. Rae hadn't held me back, I'd
been first to tell you" said Jem with
sparkling eyes.
''Tnere are few men as thoughtful as
Mr. Rae. said Mrs. Dunn. Sandy
waived the compliment aside BY saving,
Ibid your mother tell you the best of
it,"
II have told him nothing. Mr.. Cole
offers ten Thousand dollars down for the
half interest, and agrees to provide the
plant.

Thanks to Sandy Rea's persistence, a
mill owner was prevailed upon to con-
struct furnace and machinery adapted
to the purpose. In return, he received
an interest IN the patent. In due time
! the new plant was erected. 1t seemed
ages to the inventor, but experienced
iron workers regarded the completion of
, the machinery III the time consumed re-
markable. In less than three months,
everything was ready for the trial of the
new machinery.
All the iron workers in the mill were
on the tip-toe of expectation when the
day appointed for the test approached.
"What if it doesn't work after all,
mother! Jen said. hIrs. Dunn lifted
hand warningly and looked at John,
who had laid aside his drawing with
sigh. His manner was strange, nervous,
and his mother was sollcitous. He was
unable to sleep.

swered sadly, but be did not meet the
look his mother bestowed upon him. "If
it fails, Jem,-well, there's the other
patents to fall back on. But l guess I'll
have to wait good while before can
go to the springs in Germany"
Fourteen months confinement had not
taken the spirit out of the brave fellow
''If it works at first, I'll be surprised,
Jem, not because it ought not to work
but, you see, if amt there. why there's
two or three little things might make a
great difference. It's pretty tough, sit
ting here Gagged there was a tinge of
bitterness, the first his mothers quick
ear had detected in his tone since he was
carried in lifeless to her-''and my pa
tent going to be tried" He said TO him
self if he had the means how soon he
would have devised artificial locomotion.
He counted ON the invention to pay for
Jem's schooling. Jem was very bright,
and a universal favorite. Who knew,
John asked himself, what Jem might not
accomplish in profession3 Then, if
there was half the money in it he
thought there was, it would enable his
mother to try what change of scene
and variety would do for her

expect, We'll just have to wait, lem.

said it. "It's best not to be too sure

Orr Christmas Cyclopsdia.

Bears Head-It was the custom ir
merry old England for the butler with
great ceremony to bring into the banquet
hall at Christmas dinner boar's head
ornamented with flowers and ribbons.
As the smoking dish appeared Latin
song was struck up.
Carols-Origiually religious songs
dating back to the second century.
Gradually degenerated until they were
prohibited by clergy. Under Saxon
kings in England they were revived and
a gayer element introduced. Puritans
abolished them and substituted psalms in
1912. At present, in England, merry
songs sung on Christmas morning.
Christmas-Celebratio of Christ's ma
tivity. Appears in history about 100
A, d. The day December 25 probably
not real date At first the day was OBJ
served any time in January, February or
March. December 25 probably adopted
because it is at the winter solstice, when
the sun is nearest the earth. Germans
held a festival at this date before they
were Christianized.
Christmas box--A gift made to
servant or one in lower position than the
donor. An English custom and term.
Christmas Tree-The Catholic Church,
in order to convert the heather Germans,
instituted all manner of festivities,
dramas and songs. Trees decorated
with various ornaments were an out
growth of this same plan. These trees
have always been characteristic OF Ger
man Christmas celebrations.
Lord OF Misrule-A man appointed to
superintend the boistercus Christmas
games which were permitted in old Eng
land at Christmas time.
Mistletoe "A parastical bush to be
found on many trees iii southern Eng.
land, and more rarely in other localities
and countries. 1t has white translucent
berries, and leaves of yellowish- green
color. 1t was regarded as a sacred plant
by the Druids in early England. The
custom of kissing under the mistletoe APP
pears in both English and German his
tory. The precise origin of this custom
is not known.
Santa Claus, ST. Nicholas, Kris Kringle
st. Nicholas was saint of the early
church, and his birth was celebrated III
Germany about December 6 with cere-
monies much like those afterward en-
ployed at Christmas time. Gradually
the celebration of St. Nicholas's day and
of the nativity became identical. Santa
Claus and Kris Kringle Dutch are al
most synonymous with st. Nicholas.
Yue-Log-Yule was the name for the
celebration of the return of the sun or
fire wneel at the winter solstice. The
yule-log which in England used to be
drawn in aud put on the hearth Christmas
eve is a relic of fire worship.
