Just at this moment the whistle
sounded and the two college girls on
the rear platform went back to their
places inside.
Lee Christmas drew sharp
breath She had come to meet Ben,
and he would not be able to come for
a week; not until Christmas eve. She
caught the first sentences in an eager

They seemed to be for her.

Now the older partner had a most
cherubic, festival air, and the other
was thin and dark end serious. But
Lee plunged in, so absorbed in MAX

almost called him 'Mr. Dicks" in the
preliminary explanations.
He smiled, and Lee fancied it was
a thin superior sort of smile. Didn't
you know I was an old bachelor, Miss
Lee?"

in confusion as his eyebrows went up.

son. Il am going to give a bachelors
party, Christmas eve, to both ladies
and gentlemen. My mother has sent
cards to you and Ben. You see, it is
your party"
Luckily Lees wits had not quite
deserted her, and she recognized the
little pun on her name, Christmas"
and laughed.
Il shall want the very biggest ham

They were very poor-Mrs. Christ

no property but the house the father
left them with it's hundred acres of
forest land. So far these had only
meant taxes. And there were other

more binding sense of the spirit. If
they did not-with all they possessed

and Uncle Delaware, her husband and
Uncle Delawares boy, Jim-there is
no such thing as ownership in cur

But what mysterious riches had Lee

woods with only the rustic of the

ON CHRISTMAS MORN.

Only baby sleeping
On gentle Mary's breast,
The faithful mother keeping
Watch DER her infants rest,
Within a stable, holding
The lowly ones of earth;
But heavenly gates, unfolding
Proclaimed the Savior's birth.
Only some shepherds tending
Their timid sheep by night,
Saw DER the hills ascending,
A star Of brilliant light
That shed its matchless glory
Upon the darkened earth,
While angels told the story
Of Jesus and his birth.
Only those shepherds, kneeling
First at the baby's feet
While on the air was stealing
Their gift Of incense sweet
Worshiped the little stranger
AS King of heaven and earth,
Within the humble manager
That knew the Savior's birth.
Now Christmas bells are ringing,
And happy children sing;
While all the people bringing
Their offerings to the King
Repeat the wondrCus story
That angels brought to earth;
They praise the Lord Of glory,
And celebrate his birth

CAPTAIN DIAMOND
FOUND GUILTY
Sentenced to Pay Fine OF $1,000
or be imprisoned One
Pig Year.
Icy Associated Press J

ALBANY, N. Y. Nov. 27.-Police Cap
tain Thomas j. Diamond. of New York,
who was put or trial here on a change
of Venue from New York county, was to-
day found guilty on the charge Of neglect
of duty in having failed to suppress dis
orderly houses in his precinct.
Captain Diamond was sentenced to pay
a fine of $1,000 or to be imprisoned one
year in the Albany county penitentiary.
The fine was paid under protest. Captain
Diamond will appeal the case.
The jury was out all night and took
twenty ballots. in the first OF which there
were eight votes for conviction and four
for acquittal. a decision was reached
at O'Clock this morning. In passing SEN
tence Judge Herrick spoke of the fact
that conviction meant to the captain that
after seventeen years as an unusually
yigilant and intelligent officer he must
now begin MS career in life anew. For
the benefit of police officers, and for the,
public as yell the judge explained a
seeming distinction: between the punish
ment Of Bisstrt, Captain Diamonds ward
man, who was recently convicted of &C
ccpting protection money from keepers of
disorderly houses, and sentenced to five
years and six months in State prison, and
the comparatively mild sentence imposed
on the captain; that while it had been
supposed the latter received a portion Of
the money collected by the wardman, no
evidence in support of that suppoSition
had been adduced-
The judge also spoke of the fact that
disorderly houses by a large portion of
our community are regarded as neces-
sary evils i'll large cities, and that police
officers wink at their continuance and
allow them to violate the law as long as
they do not flaunt their violations of the
law before the public
Without expressing any opinion as to
whether this tolerance of this class of
house is morally right or wrong, the
court said that st is something that is
done probably by every police official in
every large city in the State, and that
there is not d police captain probably in
any precinct in the city OF New York,
or in the city of Albany. for that matter,
that might not be convicted for exactly
the same crime that you have been con-
ViCted Of
