cord cheered. In the middle OF the car
was the Christmas trce-the ldea-deck-

branches and ran crjss.cross riot over 1t
Everywhere was glitter from countless
pilt and silvered ornaments that dangled

been hastily devised and hunted up i'll

Where did everything come from What
did it all mean2 In the Lonesome Boys
story it was all written down-some-
thing about the conductors Christmas
crates and certain trunk OF the Crusty
Mans.
The Boy forgot his little blue ticket,
not having his cap on, and caught Wig
ples's hand in his and executed a wild
war dance round and round the tree.
Everybody talked and laughed that
couldn't dance and everybody whose
mouths were too full of candy to talk
aud laugh, danced. 1t was a Merry
Christmas indeed, in a snowdrift, and
almost pity that 1918 nose couldn't
have been pointed the other way to
catch some Of the good times through
the window in the door.
While the Family still made merry, the
Crusty Man and the Boy sat down to-
gether near the door. Though the Boy
was out of breath and seemed to be do
ing none Of the talking himself, yet, in
some strange way, known only to the
Crusty Man, the whole OF his lonesome
little story was drawn skillfullv out.
Such dull, colorless little story, too,
with homesick thread running zigzag
through all its warp and wool.
The conductor and brakeman had slip
ped out, and all the rest had quoted
down sedately. Suddenly jog, bump,
shril whistle, and No. 107 was on its
way again through the snow. The
Christmas tree lurched and swayed and

II appears that some of the more des-

where they intended to capture a gum
boat that is employed in doing patrol
duty around the island. Another detail
of the plan was to seize, Col. Berrise.
