never been in village. Lord! would
Day it was collection of hostile camps,
with janitor as the only means Of
communication.
By way Of emphasis for his words
Frank Lane threw across the room the
gayly illustrated magazine he had been
pretending to read. It landed with
crash, bringing with it to the floor a
small vase which stood on the corner
Of the mantel. Broken bits of porce-
lain rolled in all directions.
The young man started to his feet.
The vase was one Of his childish rel
les. Every bit was precious. But he
sank back with groan. He had for
gotten his sprained ankle.
The pain in it made him remember.
It was almost intolerable for few mo-
ments. But that was not what brought
the tears to his eyes-tears Of weak
ness and loneliness. He was renem-
bering that it was the day before
Christmas and that he was: shut up in
his bachelor apartments with sprain-

XMAS WITH THE GERMANS.
Scenes In the Shops and In the Re-

Scenes In the Shops and In the Re-
tire1nent of Home.
AS the handsome shops reveal the
Christmas of the rich Germans, also
we see the Christmas joys Of the other,
the peasant class. The toy stores-the
dolls in ali the national costumes Of
the world, and windows all bristling
with combating soldiers. Candy shops!
Candy is distinctively American. In
Germany and France it is bonbons; in
England sweets The Germans do not
eat candy as habit, as we do, but on
Christmas time, according to their
idiom, lit goes loose" But it is the
"pfefferkuchen" that is the great dis
tinguishing delicacy of Christmastide.
Not a house, family or person in Ger
many is without it. 1t is sort Of hard
spice cake, made in all sorts of shapes.
The writer spent last Christmas in
the home of Baron Won Shierbrant.
The day before Christmas the drawing
rooms were closed. No one dare enter
except the baron and baroness, who
came in and out of those rooms very
quietly and mysteriously. On Christ
mas eve the first event of interest is
the Christmas eve dinner, which is
characterized by the serving Of ''karp-
fen in BIER and the bringing forth from
their secret hiding places of the IA
nous Christmas cakes, marzipan. pfef-
fernuesse and pfefferkuchen. Dinner
ends with the joining of hands and all
saying, "Gesegnete mahlzeit."

this semidarkness. Won't you let me
light up? am the girl from the fat
above AS she spoke she turned to
the switch. In moment the room
flashed into blaze of light.
Lane still stared at her as If at a
vision, but the years Of business train
ing came to his aid. wont you sit
down, Miss Fane?'' he said courteous
". II can't rise little triffe Of a
sprained ankle"
Eyes, I know the girl interrupted
alphabetically. ''The janitor told me.
I am so sorry" The man found her
pity very sweet.
Il don't want to trouble you," she
went on, 'but am looking for one of
my Christmas presents which is lost,
strayed or stolen. 1t must have come,
for my cousin writes that it was mailed
some days ago."
1nstinctively Lane spread his hands
over the dainty tride lying in his lap.
Yes, the pillow hid it from view.
1T is handkerchief case made of
purple silk. As our names look some
thing alike, I thought it might have
come to you by mistake" She looked
at him expectantly.
Now, Lane had been mentally plan
ming how he might keep that handker-
chief case. He was thief in every
thing but the deed. But he could not
answer those searching brown eyes
with a lie. Eyes, have it. l thought
it was mine" And he held it out weak
~. Then sudden inspiration came to
him. II wish you would let me keep
it," he said pleadingly. II will buy you
anything else in it's place that you like. -
Miss Lanes color deepened. "WhyY'
she asked wonderingly.
Because" he said vehemently, tits

around. You don't know how blue q
fellow gets shut up here all alone. Lit

He looked so helpless lying there on
the couch that the girls heart went out
to him, and she had a fashion of fol-
lowing her heart more readily than her
head. "You poor fellowv' she said gen
tly. IT know just how you feel. You
shall keep the handkerchief case. Cous-
in Laura will never know, and have
several others. And you must count it
as real Christmas present from me.
Only don't give me anything in it's place
except to wish me merry Christmas
when I come down to see you in the
morning. will bring some of the good
les from my home box. They will make
you forget all about the ankle"
She hurried away. Lane did not know
that it was because she wished to hide
tears brought to her eyes by the dumb
look of gratitude on his face. And he
lay back and wished that the morrow
might come.
Before another Christmas the two
fats were empty. Mr.. and Mrs. Lane
were keeping house in Il large fiat Oh
the ground floor. His wife always de-
clares that he stole her heart and the
handkerchief case at one and the same

was never wildly festive for Christ.
mas, but even that was to be denied
him this year.
There was rafting at the hall door.
Lane hastily brushed aside the tears as
the wife of the janitor came in. Won
anlike, she was compassionate. Her
face beamed as she cried: "A package
for ye, Mester Lane. TIL postman jest
left it, an I hurried it up, thinkin' it
might cheer ye bit. It's sure some
prisint lady fren's been a-sendin' ye."
The invalid laughed shortly. From
lady friend! He had been raised in
an orphan asylum and as far as
his knowledge went had not living
relation. His position in the business
world was entirely due to his own
pluck and energy. He had not had
time to make lady friends.
When the woman had gone, he still
looked curiously at the package in his
lap. 1t was in bad order. The string
was loosened and the enveloping paper
torn. The address was blurred, but he
could still make out family the in
scription "F. e. Lane" and the name
of the. apartment house. 1t was really
for him.
His fingers trembled with eagerness
as he slipped off the outside wrapper
and disclosed dainty tissue paper and
ribbons 1t must surely be from girl,
he thought
Inside was a creation of violet silk.
He eyed it obviously, but then his face
cleared. He had seen similar curios in
shop windows. It must be handker-
chief case.
But the name Of the sender? He
took hold of the case gingerly and
shook it. He carefully turned it inside
out. No card appeared. 1t must have
slipped out on the way. he shifted
appreciatively. The case was strongly
scented with violets. It almost seemed
as if the fair donor herself was glorify-
ing his room with her presence.
Yet the question of who had sent it
still remained unsolved. He knew whom
he wished had sent 1.-THE girl In the
fat above. She was the girl who,
when she came in from the office of an
evening, sat down at the piano and
ratified off a jolly twostep-that was
when things had gone well-or crept
In quietly and sang soothing lullabies-
that was when the days work had left
her wornout and blue Lane sympa-
thized, for he had felt just that way
himself.
"B-r-r-r' rang the electric bell. Lane
frowned as he reached his hand back
for the button. Why need common
place realities in the shape of the jan
itor break IN upon his day dream?
Then he Strengthened up suddenly.
The figure standing in the doorway
was not to be confused with the jan
itor. It was a girl with: rebellious
brown curls wandering down to ob~
struct a pair of serious dark eyes. 1t
was the girl of the fat above. /.

ballads of Yule.


Though some are dead and some are fed
To lands of summer over sea,
The holly berry keeps his red,
The merry children keep their glee.
They hoard with artless secrecy
This gift for Maude and that for Molly,
And Santa Claus he turns the key
On Christmas eve. Heigh-ho, the holly!

The snow lies deep on land and lea:
The skies are shining overhead;
The robins tame that was so free.

London's Traffic Problem.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
An interesting enumeration is being made
of the wheeled traffic that crosses the
bridges into the city from the Surrey side.
Naturally London bridge, being the largest
and most important has the most traffic,
and Southwark bridge the least. The sig
nifcance of this census is emphasized by
the statements of the chief engineer to the
London county council, who told the Lon
don traffic commission the other day that
the reconstruction of several bridges would
have to be dealt with in the near future.
The widening of Waterloo bridge or the
construction of a new bridge between Wa
terloo and Blackfriars was urgent.
The widening of old streets and the for
nation of new ones were the most neces-
Sary improvements required in London.
Eventually new street from Piccadilly cir
Gus eastward would have to be considered.
Rough estimates had been made as regards
the cost of a street from the Strand south
ward to the county boundary near the
Crystal Palace.

The Bacon Foolishness.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Not long ago we had revival of the
Wilkes Booth survival yarn. Now we have
a resurrection of the Baconian theory A
st. Louis doctor, of all men, has seized the
mantle of the illustrious Donnelly and put
a few trimmings on it. Besides figuring
out to his own satisfaction, few more
ciphers which prove, to his mind, that
Bacon and not Shakespeare wrote the plays
he has discovered that Ben Jonson, Bacon
and some other literary lights of that day
dug up the body of the dramatist and cast
it into the Thames substituting for 1T in
the casket collection of ciphers reiterating
Bacon's authorship.
This controversy has been going for
over fifty years Over 500 books have been
written about it and innumerable articles
have been printed but no one has yet offer
ed any reason why, if Bacon was anx-
ious to maintain mis- authorship, he did not
at some time or other, instead of going to
all this idiotic folly Of ciphers, take his pen
in hand and write out a plain claim. AS
attorney general he should surely have been
able to draft a literary will that would have

Guaranteeing Oysters.
Philadelphia Public Ledger

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The English oyster season is fast ap-
preaching, and the oyster merchants, who
suffered great financial loss through the re-
cent scare as to polluted oyster beds, have
taken steps, in conjunction with the au-
thorities of F'ishmongers' Hall, to reassure
the public as to the safety of oyster eating.
During the past few months the beds of
the leading merchants on the east and
south coasts have been examined by medi-
cal experts, whose reports go to prove that
the greatest care is now taken in the culti-
walton of oysters, and that the public may
purchase them without fear of bad results.
With the object of preparing a circular
embodying this view a private conference
of oyster merchants was held the other day
at Fishmongers' Hall, and it was learned
that the circular will be issued before the
season reopens. The circular will be some
thing in the nature of a guarantee that GER
tain oysters coming on the London market
are pure and wholesome.

Submarine Inventions.
yrom the philadelphia Public Ledger.

A remarkable invention has been adopted
by the English admiralty, the effect OF
which is to increase the efficiency of Brit
ish submarines. At present the radius OF
submarine attacks is restricted, owing to
the difficulties of ventilation and the carry
ing of fuel. but experiments warrant the
belief that the new submarines will be able
to travel immense distances with disastrous
effects on the ports of an enemy.
The existing submarine fleet of Britain is
not, however, rendered obsolete. On the
contrary, it can easily be adapted to utilize
the new discovery. The inventor is a Brit
ish officer well known for his brilliant capa-
bilities. The most remarkable feature IN
his design is it's extreme simplicity. Details
of the invention are, of course, withheld
by the admiralty.
