The Green Man walked BACK into
the hole and Peter was left alone in
the quiet forest; II seemed stlller than
ever now. He looked hard at the gros-
chen In his hand. He had heard about
groschens that came from the Green
Men. though he had never known any
body who had one They were said to
be very lucky, and If man got one he
was made for life. for as often as he
spent 1t he found another in his pocket.
provided that he had spent the last for
some good thing.
The more Peter thought the more he
believed that he had just such n gros-
chen, and with his fingers tight around
II he again set off for the village. He
knew very well what he would buy
first. At Herr Keibers store was n
humming top that he had long coveted.
AS soon as he could he did his errand
at the doctors and then turned his
steps toward the store. Sure enough,
there in the window lay the top, but
there by its side was n japanese doll
with slanting eyes and queer. long
gown. It, like the top, cost n groschen.
Peter knew that Hilda, the baby,
wanted doll. He stood on one leg
and then he stood on the other. lie
looked at the doll and then he looked
at the top. He was in two minds what
to do for he knew that his groschen
might be the wonderful sort he had
heard about. Should he buy the doll
and risk finding another piece of money
for the top. or should he buy to the
top and leave the doll to chance? FL
nally he said to himself, 'If buy the
doll and do not find another groschen
shall have to go without the top, but
should be ashamed TO buy the top
and then have nothing TO give to Hilda.
for have l not been told that at Christ
mas one must give to others and not
think of himself?" So he made a dash
Herr Kelbel had the groschen and
Peter the doll.
Every one knows that this was the
right thing to do Peter knew it, too,
but when he had gone little distance
he stopped and very softly felt in his
pocket. Now you think, of course, that
he found another groschen immediate
ly. Not bit. And If you are disap-
pointed am afraid Peter was. too, for
though he examined all his pockets he
found nothing. Every now and then
on the way home he tried a new search
and just before he went into the house
he took off his jacket and shook 1t, but
not a glimmer of money did he see.
"Well," said he. sit is plain that the
groschen was not so lucky as l
thought, but anyway, I'm glad l got
the doll for Hilda.' And with his best
foot foremost into the house he went.

Don't let your kitchen sink get
clogged with grease and crumbs. Keep
a strainer over the waste pipe and
wash the sink out thoroughly after
every meal. 1t is good plan after
dinner IL you have had chops or any
thing specially greasy to flush the pipe
with a hot sal soda solution. If a
stone sink gets a coating of grease
sprinkle with chloride of lime, let 1t
remain over night and the next morn

The cold suddenly brought him back
to himself He blew into his fingers.
and off he went up the road to the vii
lage.
The snow was well trodden. Just
as he got TO the place where the road
goes past the big rocks and the ever
running spring he heard somebody call
Peter" He stopped and looked
around, but never soul did he see in
all the forest. Yet he was sure he had
heard a voice, thin, small voice, and
the thought that there was some one
near who could see him, but whom he
could not see, set ns heart a-thumping
with fear, so he started off again, and
I if he had walked fast before you can
imagine that he made good time now.
Hi! Peter" said the voice again,
| and this time he saw on the hillside
/ above him a little man 'beckonlng.
/ Near by We're two other little men try

tree, but It was too big for the little
men, who We're no higher than Peters
knee. All these men were old and
were clothed in green.
AS Peter looked Mt them his eyes
opened very wide and his fear left
him, so that when they all beckoned
again he fioundered toward them
through the snow.
Peter" said the spokesman, "just
help us with this tree, will you? It's q
Christmas tree, and we can't get II
home"
/ Now Peter was a wise lad for his
years, and he had not listened to his
grandmother's tales for nothing. He
knew that these were the wonderful
Green Men and that it paid to be polite
TO them. But being German he was
cautious. "Where do you llye?' asked
he.
"At the bottom of the spring." said
the Green Man. "but the way TO get
there is through this hole at the foot
of the old fir"
"Well," said Peter, "lf one has the

7 ETER sat looking out of the
- window wondering what he
should do without n Christ
mas tree, for his mother had
said that there was little chance of st.
Nicholas coming that year, and what
was the use Of having tree when
there was nothing to put on 1t. They
lived In the great Thuringian forest,
near the high little village of Igelshieb.
Peters father was dead and the grand
mother was Ill, so that the mother had
to earn bread for ALL though Peter
helped. In summer he hunted balsam
roots like the other village folks.
Aud now here it was the day before
Christmas, and Peter had been told
that instead Of thinking of Christmas
tree he must be thankful If there was
enough black bread to go round. He
was thankful. but he could not help
wishing for 4 tree. He looked at the
gIanGmother huddled by the freslde.
Hilda, the baby, was playing on the
floor, and his mother was making a
bundle Of balsam roots. This she gave
to Peter. you are TO take these to
the village and give them to the doctor
in exchange for medicine" said she,
''and be sure you hurry back, for there
VIII be snowfall by night"
Peter took his wooden shoes from
the oyen where they had been warm
ing. and rs lie put his blue stocllinged
feet into them the good warm wood
made him smile. Then he dumped out
into the road and stood for a moment
looking mp at the great black fir trees
all laden with twlnkllng snow crystals,
and back into the forest he looked
where the snow carpet lay white aud
the tree trunks east blue weird shad-
ows. He never ceased to regard the
forest with awe ana wonder. for the
foxes ran in 1t and the wild deer hid
in It's depths; above all. did not his
grandmother tell of the queer little
