Howl suddenly, without warning and
mercy. Even as ruin had darted upou
him should the blow descend upon Raw.
mond.
When? At night. Night, with its aw.
fal silence and mystery, should surround
and envelop the deed.
Where? In his own house-the house
Raymond had stolen from him. In its
fsncied security, in its seclusion and ele-
gance, within calling distance of-of-
bis wife-if possible, 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 . fend.
That night he crawled into a slovenly
bed in a cheap lodging house on the east
side. BE missed the lonely cell TO which
he had become accustomed, and found
himself wondering IL 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 used to work. At
the close OF the somber day he stood
and watched the well dressed, well
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.
At night the Bowery glittered with
rows Of lights that twinkled like evil
eyes. Johnson tramped for many
blocks, pausing nov and then to gaze in
the windows az the Christmas decora-
tons. There was one display which
fascinated him. In a cutters window
were stars, crosses and other emblems
formed of smooth, shining, sharp sdged
johnson looked steadily at
them for q long time. Then he went in,
and selecting n particularly wicked
blade paid for 1t from the little roll of
bills, thrust it in the breast pocket Of
his coat and resumed his tramp.
Christmas. Christmas" he muttered
he plodded on. "What is Christmas
to me! I'd like to give John Raymond
; Christmas present, curse him." and
then suddenly he thought what a fine
thing 1t would be to drive that knife
home in Raymond's heart and attach a
piece Of paper to the handle bearing the
inscription, "a Christmas present from
loving frissd.'
"I1l do it, he exclaimed. HYes, I'll do
Il on the night before Christmas. What
q merry Christmas It will be for me!'
People brushed against him in the
Children shrank at sight of his
scowling face. On, on he went, IN
mindful Of lis surroundings.

SOMETHING ROLLED DOWN THE CHEEK
OF II EX-CoSyICT.
Suddenly he paused before a great
building into which esowds were pour
ing. He joined the throng and drifted
in. There We're lights and music. Some.
body--a man with q clear baritone voice
was singing something. To the ears Of
the Ishmaelite stole these words:
I've foand > friend In Jesus;
He's everything to NE:
He's the fairest OF ten Thousand to my soul,
The Lily of the Valley.
In him alone | see
| All need TO cleanse and make ms fully whole.
Then suddenly the great audience rose
to its feet and responded:
He's the Lily of the Valley,
The Bright and Morning Star;
He's the fairest Of ten thousand 10 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 filed with men
and womeu 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,
And all my SORROWS borne:
In temptation he's my strong and mighty
tower
rang out the voice like a clarion call.
And once more the poor, sodden way
farers to whom he sang answered;
He's the Lily OF the Valley,
The Bright and Morning Star:
He's the fairest OF ten thousand to my soul.
Something rolled down the cheek of
the ex-convict.
He put mp his hand impatiently to
brush it away.
And then. half stumbling, he hurried
out into the night.
But as he fed through the fast fall
ing snOwhakes he heard again the re-
frain well up like o battlecry:
He's the Lily of the Valley.
Next day rs he aimlessly walked
about he came face to face with a man
he had known in his old life. The man
started a. If he had seen a ghost, and
then s~hsmefacedly and hesitatingly ex-
tended his hand.
"Howdy do, Johnson he said TIM
idly.
ooh, I'm well enough" said johnson
with a short. harsh laugh. I'm trying
to get something to dc, Perhaps you
could help me-"
"I-oh, novel;, you see, just now
everybody's taken up with Christmas"

So Raymond was poor and sick-his

well. there was some justice in heav.s
if not OF earth.
1t was the night before Christians
when johnson strolled again into the
great rink where the Salvation Army
wa holding its meetings. He listened to
the burning words which fell from the
lips of a sweet faced woman. She talked
of Gods best gift to man and spoke of
peace and good win. Then again the
ginger came forward, and again the
strains which had rung in Johnson's ears
for two days rolled 10 the roof. While
listening eagerly his eyes suddenly fell
upon the face of a woman who was sit
ting three seats from him. A pale, thin,
shabbily dressed woman.

When she rose to go hs followed her.
As she hurried away he s~tealthily crept
behind her, his hand involuntarily
clutching the knife over his heart.
Up q rickety fight 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.
The door remained ajar.
Ee looked in and marked the poor
room, with its wretched belongings. He
saw the bed and the sick man bolstered
up by fabby pillows.
''Is that you, Nelly" he heard Ray
mond say. Il thought you would never
come"

Among other quaint customs still ex-

In 0~xfordshire, England. Some wear

johnson walked away, once more a free
man.
He had looked forward to this day for
years. He had dreamed of is 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 jo- %
was walking along as quietkys though
setting ont on a yisittc friends.
An, frichdsD ne word brought him
10 ~re@1zing sense of what was before
nm. Friends indeedi 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 a banking
house, laying by a tidy little SUN for
the home which was to be his--and hers
lin the near future.
Then came the scandal, the embezzle-
ment the mystery, the plot which
wrecked his life and sent him to prison
for a crime of which he was innocent.
Then, thr, ugh 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 slunk into o 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.
How o WILL l be back he asked
himself.
Then as the gloom deepened on his
haggard face he muttered, when l
come back it will not be for embezxle-
nent, but for murder
Tor johnson had in those six drcary
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 a viper that had
stung him.
Observation-Disclosures? were the words |
which tangled ceaselessly through his
brain, keeping time to the Gathering Of
