Eight years passed.

ElSnU years passed.
The Christmas bells were ringing mer-
rily, and the people, coming out of their
houses to attend the midni ght mass, greet
ed each other with Christmas wishes.
Among the throng there was none who
received more salutes and friendly smiles
than an elderly woman who leaned upon
the arm of beautiful young girl, tall and
slender as reed. By the light of the torch
she carried the girls bright blue eyes,
rosy cheeks and golden hair were seen, and
every passer looked at her with admira-
ton.
Young girls nodded with friendly air;
apprentices, students and more than one
young gentleman in velvet cap and en-
broidered doublet bowed respectfully to
the mother and daughter.
These two were but simple working peo-
pie, yet all Nuremberg honOred them. Ev
cry one knew that Dame GuduIe Dachs,
when left widow with her child to bring
up and her husbands debts to pay, had set
about bravely to perform the task. She had
become the most successful embroiderer
in the town, her daughter had soon grown
celebrated for her taste in designing new
patterns, and now the widow owed moth
ing and could hardly fill all the orders she
received from the richest ladies in the
land. The poor and the suffering we'll
knew the way to Widow Gudule's door,
and the fair Christine was never happier
than when attending to their wants. 1t
was thought that Christine had dedicated
herself to God and would soon take the
veil, for if she did not mean to be a nun
why was she SO Indifferent to the tender
glances, signs and words of the young
men?
AS the people entered the church the Or
gan's peals rose to the vaulted roof, and
Widow Gudule, kneeling at Christine's
side heard her murmured prayer: "Sweet
Saviour Jesus, protect him! Bring him
back to us that I may tell him have not
forgotten him!'
The mother smiled sadly, for she had
had experience of the world, and she knew
that, with young persons, remembrance
often fades.

round to administer communion to the

MASO NAPONE.
AECHRISTMAS TALE BY J. COLOMB

It had been showing all day. Intense
cold had succeeded, and the stars; shining
brightly, looked down on the good old
town of Nuremberg.
The people were coming out Of their
dwellings and walking slowly but cheer
fully along the streets, not seeming to
mind the crisp cold nor the deep snow un-
der their feet. There was a murmur Of
voices, rustling of garments, the sounds
OF doors opening and shutting, mingled
with laughter and merry shouting.
The throng Of people had passed on, and
the voices Of the bells had become mere
reverberations, when little girl about
years old appeared in the principal street,
which was now silent and deserted. She
was alone and looked so small as she
walked fearlessly along taking short steps,
80 as not to slip on the hard, glistening
snow, and singing in soft voice an old
Christmas hymn about the angels, Beth
1ehem and child asleep in a manger.
Suddenly she stopped, uttered a cry of
,dismay, and falling on her knees began
searching for something in the snow. She

her daughter away. When they reached
the street, no strange figure was to be
seen, except a tall man wrapped in hand
some cloak and wearing gold embroid-
cred cap which glistened in the moonlight.
When the two women arrived at their
home, this person stepped quickly up, and
with bow said:
Merry Christmas to you, Dame Gu
dule! Merry Christmas, Miss Christine!
Will you let the Florentine singer share
your supper once again?"
81 knew he would come, mother!' cried
Christine, and the widow, in spite Of her
misgivings, almost against her will added:
''He is welcome, as before"
They all entered the house, and when
the girl had lighted the candles on the
supper table she was astonished to see that
the slender STRIPPING had become strong,
handsome man, who looked at her with
smiling admiration. Her simple yet well
fitting gown showed off her graceful fig
ure to advantage While she filled his
glass Maso said to her, Zone might take
you for an angel now"
Then he related how Master Kriegwinc-
KEEL had brought him up and taught him
and been father to him. The old man
was dead now, and Maso once more tray
eled about to earn his living by singing.
But he went as great artist, not poor
vagabond. Kings and princes wrote ask
ing him to come and sing to them, just as
the master had predicted. He was rich
and honored, and yet he was not happy,
for he was alone.
"Dame Gudule," he added after a
pause, - III once gave me mothers kiss.
Will you now accept me as your son? Will

while her mother smiled and nodded.
''You promised not to forget me and to
love me all your life," he said, taking her

A SONG of the Season.

There are ships Of the dalntlest fancy
Afoat on the tides Of Thought,
Asan for the glorious, golden West,
Where the commerce OF love lis sought
And the skies seem fair.
And the waters blue:
There is naught Of care
For the jolly crew
And the glad ships sail for the ports OF
bliss,
On a sea as soft as maidens kiss.
And the ships fade into the distance;
Melt into the mystic West;
While we who watch on a twilight shore
Sigh prayers for their happy quest
And the night winds sing
To the watchful stars,
And the surf bells ring
On the unseen bars.
But the ships are gone, and we may not
know
How the winds Of another day may blow.
There's a speck OF white in the offing;
IT'S a signal that Fear doth guess.
A tattered bit of sail that speaks
To the waves Of souls distress.
And 1t losses high
On the pillows crest,
With a pleading cry
To the land for rest.
For the ships were wrecked on tropic
reef
And an empty raft comes back to-Grief.

The Highest Tower In the World.

At wembley Park, which Is about SIX
miles from the heart Of London, there Is
in the course Of erection at the present
time a tower the total height OF which will
be LILO feet-l75 feet higher than the Elf
fel Tower. Unlike the latter tower, which
gazes down on the houses and roofs or
the crowded city, the Wembley Tower
crowns an emlnence of the beautiful
Wembley Park affording a lovely view
of the surrounding country.
II will be a strange sight 10 look on
the birds flying in the trees 30 far be-
meath one, for at the foot Of the tower
is q famous rookery. where the looks
gather and chatter from morning TIL
night, and also one Of the old ivy-cov-
cred English cottages which has stood
there for over n hundred years. few
years ago the building Of such towers as
these would have been impossible. 1t Is
only with the new methods OF handling
steel and iron Orders that such struc-
lures can be successfully put up. over
$50 men are now employed fitting pieces
of the tower together and It IS wonderful
what rapid progress they make.
The foundations which have to sup
port such tremendous weight above them.
have to be laid In place. and kept there
in the earth. There are four legs at the
base, and each leg ia composed OF four
smaller legs. or better. feet. These rest
on tremendous foundations that were
placed in position over two years ago.
These foundations are made of stone
and concrete. upon which are fastened
the iron plates to which the legs are
attached.
The material Of which the tower prop
er is composed is called mild steel"
There is not such a network of intricate
