1 Christmas in the Land Of the Car.

-NuTl6uudn III Inc AaOu OF tAe CIars
Throughout the, Ukraine, or little
Russia, Christmas IS observed as a great
sacred day. Weeks before Christmas
preparations for welcoming the SO called
"Christman kutia" (barley grits) are 60
ing on in a peasants hut.
The hut is whitewashed, the floor and
polatia (bed of boards) are scrubbed, the
holy images, or ikons, on the walls are
adorned With coarse linen towels en-
broidered, and few crosses, neatly
made Of straw or hay, are nailed upon
the ceiling and wall. ....5 49, f. II
. a bench covered with hay is placed at
the corner under ST. N cholas' image,
upon which rests the pot with the sacred
kutia. ~#*".s..e s.z.sl
The head Of che family, after offering
prayer and expressing few wishes be-
fore the kutia-such as that the next
summers crop may be abundant, or
that general prosperity may crown his
home--takes his seat at the head Of the
table. His example is followed by the
rest Of the members. 49,.
The pot with the kutia is soon placed
before them, and after few more little
formalities is devoured with great ap-
petite. After this is done all dress them
selves in their best clothes and start out
to church.

Christmas Holly.

The practice Of decking churches with
the evergreen is very ancient, says Chat
terbox. On this account our pious fore
fathers gave it the name of s'holy tree"
of which our word holly is a corruption.
Duppa tell; us 'tthat branches of this
tree were sent by the Romans to their
friends with their New Years gifts as
mathematical of good wishes, and the
custom is said to be nearly as old as the
building of Rome ITSELF The holly
sometimes attains the height of forty
feet, and when of this large size the wood
is very valuable and is much used by
cabinet makers. 1t is white, hard, close
grained and takes a very fine polish.
When stained black it is an excellent
imitation Of ebony. The long and
straight tough branches are often used
for whip handles and walking sticks.
The leaves Of the holly near the ground
are frequently much more pric1ly than
those toward the top of the tree. This
circumstance forms the subject of a
poem by Southey, in which he says that
though in youth buffetings with the
world may call forth harshness. yet
a man ought to pray that unkind feel
ings may daily wear away ~
Till the smooth temper OF his age shall be
Like the high leaves upon the holly tree.

his wife--ir poss...~, would the MUIR
derer find him.
The man in the corner Of the car
laughed aloud. One or two passengers
near turned and looked at him. but
quickly Withdrew their eyes. There
was no contagious mirth in that laugh,
and the smile on the cruel face was the
smile of u fend. II.
That night he crawled into q slovenly
bed in a cheap lodging house on the east
side. He missed the lonely cell to which
he had become accustomed, and found
himself wondering if they would give
him his old quarters when he went back.
Next day he prowled about the muddy
streets seeking work. 1t was Christmas
week, and everybody was too busy to
listen to him. He ate sparingly and
boarded his little roll Of bills, counting
them over and over. A strange attrac-
ton lured him to the neighborhood Of
the bank where he usod to work. At
the close Of the somber day he stood
and watched the we'll dressed, we'll
groomed men emerge from the build
ing. ''That is the way used to look"
he said to himself, and then glanced
down at his plain clothes and coarse
shoes. .st-.. ......
At night the Bowery glittered with
rows of lights that twinkled like evil
eyes. johnson tramped for many
blocks, pausing now and then to gaze in
the windows at the Christmas decora-
tons. There was one display which
fascinated him. In cutters window
were stars, crosses and other emblems
formed Of smooth, shining, sharp edged
knives. Johnson looked steadily at
them for along time. Then he went in,
and selecting one particularly wicked
blade paid for it from the little roll of
bills, thrust it in the breast pocket of
his coat and resumed his tramp.
"Christmas, Christmas" he muttered
as he plodded on. "What is Christmas
to me? I'd like to give John Raymond
a Christmas present, curse him." and
then suddenly he thought what fine
thing it would be to drive that knife
home in Raymond's heart and attach
piece of paper to the handle bearing the
inscription, IA Christmas present from
q loving friend" :a.
"rll do It'll" he exclaimed. Eyes, I'll do
1t on the night before Christmas. What
a merry Christmas it will be for mer'
People brushed against him in the
throng. Children shrank at sight of his
scowling face. On, on he went, un-
mindful Of his surroundings.

oOmhAu1Nd ltOALEO DOWN THE CHEEK
OF THE EX-CONvICT.
Suddenly he paused before great
building into which crowds were pour
ing. He joined the throng and drifted
IN. There were lights and music. Some
body-a man with clear baritone voice
was singing something. To the ears of
the Ishmaelite stole these words: '''-'
I've found friend in Jesus;
He's everything to me; e
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul,
The Lily of the Valley. s4i s::

Then suddenly the great audience rose
to its feet and responded: : .ss
He's the Lily Of the Valley, ::$ +
The Bright and Morning Star; =.
hes the falrest Of ten thousand to my soul.
Johnson looked stupidity about. He
saw faces lined with sin and suffering
the faces of thieves and outcasts. But
everybody was singing. He looked at
the platform. 1t was filled with men
and women dressed in curious fashion,
In dark blue costumes, with big scarlet
letters on their breasts. During John
sons prison life the Salvation Army had
sprung into existence.
He all my griefs has taken. - 5-'>. -:

In temptation he's my strong and mighty

And once more the poor, sodden way

He's the fairest of ten Thousand to my soul. 49,:
Something rolled down the cheek of
the ex-convict. II r.. " :
He put up his hand impatiently to
brush it away. ~.
5. And then, half stumbling, he hurried
out into the night. .--.. b.: -
But as he fled through the fast fall
Ing snowhakes he heard again the re-
train well up like a battlecry: Z.
He's the Lily Of tho Valley.
Next day as he aimlessly walked
about he came face to face with man
he had known in his old life. The man
started as if he had seen ghost, and
then shamefacedly and hesitatingly ex-
tended his hand. ~ ~ ~ ...5s T =.

"She's supporting him, I understand
sewing. They live somewhere on the
east side in a tenement. Horrible come
down. Well, / can't stand here all day.
Goodby. If hear of anything"-and
he was gone. r.
johnson stood looking after him in a
dazed fashion until gentle hint from
q policeman reminded him he had better
move on. 80.
So Raymond was poor and sick-his
revenge, then, was partly begun-and
that Christmas present?--some way the
thought of killing poor invalid did not
appeal so strongly to the 1shmaelite--
somewhere on the east side?-as we'll
try to hunt the traditional needle-poor,
sick, and Nelly sewing to support him
well, there was some justice in heav: =
if not on earth. " -
It was the night before Christnlos
when Johnson strolled again into the
great rink where the Salvation Army
was holding its meetings He listened to
the burning words which fell from the
lips of sweet faced woman. She talked
OF Gods best gift to man and spoke of
peace and good will. Then again the
singer came forward, and again the
strains which had rung in Johnson's ears
for two days rolled to the roof. While
listening eagerly his eyes suddenly fell
upon the face of woman who was sit
ting three seats from him. A pale, thin,
shabbily dressed woman.
It was Nelly! :.,...,. = -.-~--.....
When she rose to go he followed her.
As she hurried away he stealthily crept
behind her, his hand involuntarily
clutching the knife over his heart.
: Up a rickety flight of stairs she went,
and close behind came her pursuer. She
opened the door on the third landing
and went in. He crouched outside,
holding his breath. s-..5.. - -.
The door remained ajar. 2
He looked in and marked the poor
room, with its wretched belongings. He
saw the bed and the sick man bolstered
up by 1abby pillows.
SIS that you, Nelly" he heard Ray.
mond say..'' I thought you would never
come" HI n ..:s
,"Well, John, dear, just ran into the
rink a moment to hear the singing. 1t
sounded so sweet as I came along. Here

OODBY, Henry" said the
warden, holding out his
hand.

A>' IoOdDy, SAID the man
as he grasped his late jailer's hand;
"goodby," bit huskily. II thank
5ou-sir-for all your kindness'-
ooh, that's all right" said the warden
cheerily. 81 try to do what's right;
that's all. just you do that in the
future, Henry, and shall never see you
here again. Good luck to YOU"
The great doors changed behind Henry
johnson as he stepped out of the prison,
where he had served six years, four
months and twenty-five days-not the
full sentence he had received, for the
benefit of the allowance for good be-
havior had been his. But six years is a
long time, long enough to change a man
for better or worse -..z.
With new suit of clothes, ticket to
New York and twenty-three dollars
johnson walked away, once more free
man.
He had looked forward to this day for
years. He had dreamed of it on his
hard bed in his lonely cell-the day on
which he would be liberated, on which
his revenge would begin. @#
1t was here at last. johnson was sur
prised at his sensations. Instead Of
shouting, leaping or crying for Joy, he
was walking along as quietly as though
setting out on q visit to friends.
All, friends! The word brought him
to realizing sense of what was before
him. Friends inaeedL In all the wide
world had he a single friend?
With lightning rapidity the events of
the last eight years swept before him.
He saw himself honored and respected,
holding a position of trust in banking
house, laying by a tidy little sum for
the home which was to be his-and hers
i'm the near future. '@~
Then came the scandal, the embezzle-
ment, the mystery, the plot which
wrecked his life and sent him to prison
for crime of which he was innocent.
Then, through that inexplicable channel
by which news drifts from the outer
world to those in prison, he had learned
of the prosperity Of the man who in his
soul he was convinced had ruined him,
and of his marriage to the woman John
son had loved. =. |
The train for New York swept around
the curve, and the smoothly shaven man
in the i'll fitting clothes, with despair on
his face and hell in his heart, crept on
and skunk into corner, by the door. He
peered out the window to catch a last
glimpse of the high stone wall and the
sentry stalking solemnly up and down.
SHOW soon will I be back?" he asked
himself. a.. :
Then as the gloom deepened on his
haggard face he lnuttered, "When I
come back it will not be for embezzle-
ment, but for murder"
For Johnson had in those six drearv
years of captivity calmly and coolly
formulated his plan of revenge. He
had decided to kill John Raymond. his
former friend and business associate.
just as he would kill viper that had
stung him. Fl. -~",....
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS? were the words
which tangled ceaselessly through his
brain, keeping time to the Gathering of
the wheels over the rails.
