The Secret of Harmony.

Young Mrs. Mead, whose experience
of married life had been brief and
happy, had just engaged two servants,
q man and his wife, for work Mt her
place.
II am SO glad you are married" she
said to the man, with whom she had
made terms. II hope you are very,
very happy, and that you and your
wife never have any difference of opin-
ion."

him this year.
There was n rattling at the hall door
Lane hastily brushed aside the tears as
the wife of the janitor came in. Wom-

face beamed as she cried: "a package

The Invalid laughed shortly. From

his knowledge went had not living

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

His fingers trembled with eagerness
as he slipped off the outside wrapper

He eyed it obviously, but then his face
cleared. He had seen similar curios in

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. 1t almost seemed
as If the fair donor herself was glorify

Yet the question of who had sent 1t
still remained unsolved. He knew whom

XMAS WITH THE GERMANS.
Scenes In the Shops and In the Re
tirement of Home.

Scenes In the Shops and In the Re
tirement 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 all 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 house. family or person in Ger
many is without it. 1t is a 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 fa-
nous Christmas cakes, marzipan, pfef-
fernuesse and pfefferkuchen. Dinner
ends with the joining of hands and all
saying, ''Gesegnete mahlzeit."-Wash-
ington Post.

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
Amid the snow the birds are fed;
The snow lies deep on land and lea;
The skies are shining overhead;
The robins tame that was so free.
Far north at home the barley bree''
They brew; they give the hour to folly.
How "Rab and Allen cam to pree,"
They sing; we sing. Heigh-ho, the holly!

II is duty 20 to be.
Though half we sigh, Heigh-ho. tho

above" AS she spoke she turned to
the switch. In n 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. won't you sit
down, Miss Fane?" he said courteous

sprained ankle"
Yes, | know the girl interrupted
sympathetically "The janitor told me.
/ am so sorry" The man found her
pity very sweet.
'I 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"
Instinctively Lane spread his hands
over the dainty trife lying in his lap
Yes, the pillow hid 1t from view.
'It is a handkerchief case made of
purple silk. AS our names look some
lhing alike, l 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 n lie. "Yes, have 1t. l thought
1t was mine" And he held 1t out weak
ly. Then sudden inspiration came to
him. ~ wish you would let me keep

anything else in it's place that you like"
Miss Lanes color deepened. "Why"
she asked wonderingly.
Because" he said vehemently, tits

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 fellow" she said gen
tly. II 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 its place
except to wish me Il merry Christmas

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

Frank Lane threw across the room the
Gayiy illustrated magazine he had been

crash, bringing with 1t to the floor a
small vase which stood on the corner
of the mantel. Broken bits OF porce-

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 a groan. He had for
gotten his sprained ankle.
The pain in 1t made him remember.
1t 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 remem-
