kluS were coming over TO your place,
until-until-"
"Yes?" interposed Miss Kingwoods
helpfully.
Until 1 headed EN- off" said Shin
er" defant1y
ooh! But why should you do that?"
Again Sinner" paused for an instant
1T was the way your folks stood
around and watched us, like we were
curiosities or monkeys in a cage"
he blurted out, some strange, wild
fire lighting his gray-blue fearless eyes.
And they talked about us just as
though we didn't have any ears or
feelings or anything. Besides, we don't
like the kind of candy that comes in
pals; we buy ours in ha1f-pound boxes
The beautiful Miss Kingwoods sud-
denly leaned forward and impetuously
thrust out perfectly gloved hand.
Good for you, 'Shiner'l We're lot
of humbugs, and I've known it all along
don't blame you one bit for not want
ing to be patronized And l prefer box
candy myself"
On these sentiments they shook hands
"And perhaps continued Miss King
woods, 'since you will not come to our
party, which really wasn't worth while,
you will allow us to come to yours-Mr
Sturtevant and me. I am half famished,
just from shifting all of those good things.
May we?"
'Sure!" said Skinner" There's heaps
of grub. Come along in!'
So the Brentmoor carriage was sent
back, the coachman bearing message

found for Esther and Philip at the big
table. Only the younger children stared
at them, and these not for long. No
comments were made. They were helped
to crisp slices of roasted wild goose, to
golden halves of pan-roasted sweet pota-
toes, to generous spoonfuls of ruby
colored cranberry-sauce, and to steam
ing plates of Cedar Creek oysters, the
shells gaping deliciously.
Between bites "Shiner" explained
how Bill Carney had bagged the game,
how Mrs. Chambertin had cooked it,
where the oysters came from, and other
details of the feast's evolution
"But wait until you see the tree!" he
whispered. That's to be sprung after"
Sure enough, it was complete sur
prise. When the Covers, old and young,
had eaten goose and oysters and pie
until, as Pa Liddel said, they were
loaded to the guards" Sinner" asked
them all to step outside and take look
at the Christmas-tree.
At first no one discovered it, but pres
entity juvenile Chambertin emitted a
whoop of amazed delight and pointed
back over the roof of the boat-shop.
And there, rearing its topmost spindle
fully sixty feet above them, its great
feathery branches glowing with globes of
red and blue and yellow light, lowered
the old familiar lone pine of Cranberry
Cove, transformed by some weird magic
into the stateliest Christmas-tree that
the eyes of youth could wish to view.
"Ge-e-e whizz!" exclaimed Bud Lid

REVEL

presently"
"Oh, but it's delightfully."- good of you.
So interesting, tool"
The 'unwashed rabble," however,
failed to materialize according to sched-
ule. Instead, note was delivered by
youngster who came on squeaky BIZ
cycle. The missive was addressed to Mrs.
Peter Kingwoods, and ran as follows:
Cranberry Cove. Dec. IS.
Thanks for asking us to your Christmas
revel and please accept regrets. We are not
coming, any of
SINNER LIDDEL AND OTHERS.
Not coming?" gasped Mrs. King
woods incredulously. Then her lips
closed to a straight, thin line. Her nos
trils fluttered ominously. A spot of
purplish red appeared on either cheek,
just under the puffy eyes. With the note
crushed in one bejeweled, pudgy hand,
she made her way to her daughter and
exploded wrathfully: Here, Esther!
What do you think of that? The in
gratesl"
Esther read it and laughed. "Never
mind about putting up any more can
dies, Mr.. Sturtevant," she called. "The
affair seems to be off, Our young friends
of the Cove have sent their regrets
Philip descended from the step-ladder
He was a tall, grave-faced young man.
He seemed puzzled. why, I thought
that" he began.
So did we" interrupted Esther, but
evidently our poor attempt at holiday
philanthropy is a failure"
"Pshawl" vigorously declared Mrs.
Kingwoods. Its only some silly whim
of those ignorant little ragamuffins. Per-
haps Martin Numbered in delivering the
pared for them, they must come. Esther,
you must drive over and fetch them
This Esther was reluctant to do;
but when Philip urged that perhaps it
would be best, and offered to go along
too, she consented.
Even before the housekeeping Brent
moor cobs had rumbied them across the
creek bridge the sounds of merriment
came to their ears. By the time the
carriage was drawn up before the old
boat-shop the joyful babel became almost
deafening. Out on the still, crisp even
ing air foated the sharp CHATTER of many
dishes, the uproar of many voices, talk
ing, laughing, shouting, singing. They
were screaming jokes at each other, from
one end of the long table to the other.
Women shrilled in high, excited notes;
children piped squeakily; the heavy
tones of the men, as they chuckled or
guffawed heartily, gave body and volume.
Through the open door could be seen
a steamy confused interior, lighted by
hanging lamps fitted with tin rehectors.
The savory odors of roasted game and
oysters, of boiling coffee, steamed out.
Miss Kingwoods shifted hungrily.
''How good it smells! No wonder
they wouldn't comel" Then, after
moment: 81 think we had best retreat
now, don't your,
''For my part, I would like to see
more" said Sturtevant. Il would like to
catch glimpse of this Sinner Liddel."
"I'm curious about him too" agreed
Esther. See if you can call him out.
There was difficulty in attracting the
attention of any of the feasters, but after
some little delay 'Shiner" was sum-
moned. AS evidence of his preoccupa-
ton he bore with him in one hand n

Rattlesnake Was Familiar.

one day last week Aaron Hoffman
had an experience with rattler
which he viii not soon forget. While
sprouting potatoes in the bin near the
house, he was conscious of something
rubbing against his back, and glanc-
ing over his shoulder found that an
immense rattlesnake had raised his
head and was in the act of crawling
up on his back. The sight froze the
blood In his veins and he was too
paralyzed with fear to move, and
while ne sat there the snake crawled
over his shoulder and across his knees
and into his hiding place. When
young Hoffman did recover his power
OF locomotion he ran into the house
but the reaction from the terrible
fright completely Frustrated him and
he was unable for some little time to
tell his mother the cause of the
fright. II is a well known fact that
the rattlesnake, unless disturbed, will
not strike. but even this fact does not
make him a neighbor TO be enjoyed

The Chicago Livestock World gives
the following review of the sheep mar
ket of the past week
Lambs were steady at 10 cents low
er, sheep strong There were more
than enough lambs to go around. but
sheep were very scarce. Most OF the
lambs looked a dollar n hundred
lower than last weeks high spot, but
there has been a steady appreciation
on sheen all week until they show
net gain of about 20 cents.
The decline on lambs has been log
ical. In fact it was predicted a week
ago. A top was made on spring
lambs at 49, against 1926 early yes
terday, and $50 late in that session.
Bulk of spring lambs sold at 1913 ~
7.75. Culls sold mostly at $4.5O@
5.25. and buyers were more exacting
than recently. Occasionally good
load of culls made $3.50, but the bulk
sold around IS.
Sheep were very scarce. ldaho
wethers made $3.50 and yearlings from
the same source that were not very
good Sc. Light ewes sold freely at
$4.9O@5.25, according to quality but
