 There came a rap at the door then. David put on his cap and went out with Uncle ED.

 Uncle Eb was not at the supper table that evening.
 Where's Holden?" said Elizabeth Brewer.

We sat by the fire after the supper dishes were put away, talking of all the Christmas days we could remem. ber.. Hope and I thought our last in Faraway best of all, and no wonder for we had got then the first promise of the great gift that now made us happy. Elizabeth, sitting in her easy chair, told of Christmas in the olden time, when her father had gone to the war with the British. David sat near me, his face in. the frelight, the broad brow wrinkled into furrows and framed in locks of iron gray. He was looking thoughtfully at the fire. Uncle Eb came soon, stamp ing and shaking the snow out of his great fur coat.
 "Co' night" he said, warming his hands.
 Then he carried his coat and cap away, returning shortly with little box in his hand.
 "Jes' thought I'd buy this fer fun" l" said he, holding it down to the fire light "Dummed if I ever see the like uv it. Whoa" he shouted as the cover flew open, releasing jumping jack. "Quicker'n grasshopper! Dye ever see sech sassy little critter?' Then he handed 1t to Elizabeth.
 Wish ye merry Christmas, Dave Brower" said he.
 "Ain't as merry as might be-" said David.

He stopped moment, covering his eyes with his handkerchief. That was Hope" whispered. That was Hope" he went on. "All the kings oxen could not have dragged me out of Faraway then.

They grew up with me there and were the only friends had after Bony except Uncle Eb."
 Uncle Ebv' exclaimed.
 "You know how I met him." he con- tinued. Well, he won my confidence. I told him my history. I came into the clearing almost every night. Met him often. He tried to persuade me to come back to my people, but I could not do it. was insane. I feared some thing, I did not know what. Some times doubted even my own identity. Many a. summer night sat talking for hours with Uncle Eb at the foot of lone pine. Oh, he was like father to mel God knows what should have done without him. We'll, stuck to my life, or, rather, to my death, there in the woods, getting fish out of the brooks out of the cows in the pasture. Some times went through the woods to the store at Triton for flour and pork. One night Uncle Eb told me if I would go out among men to try my hand at some sort of business he would start me with $1,0OO. We'll, I did it. I had also $1OO of my own. I came through the woods afoot. Bought fashionable clothing at Utica and came to the big city. You know the rest. Among men my fear has left me, 50 I wonder at 1t. I am debtor to love, the love of Uncle ED and that of noble woman shall soon marry. It has made me whole and brought me back to my own people,"
 And everybody knew he was inno- cent the day after he left" said David.
 ''Three cheers for Uncle Eb" I de- manded.
 And we gave them.
 q declare!' said he. "In all my born days never see sech fun. It's tree-men- jious! I tell ye, them 'et takes care uv others Fl be took care uv-'less they do it O purpose"
 And when the rest of us had gone to bed Uncle Eb sat awhile by the fire with David. Late at night he came up- stairs with his candle. ,tHe came over to my bed on tiptoe to- see if I were awake, holding the candle above my head. I was worn out and did not open my eyes. He sat down snicker- ing.
 ''Tell ye one thing. Dave Brower," he whispered to himself as he drew of his boots, "when some folks calls ye a fool g purity good sign ye ain't"

Ain't much longer t walt now" There was little quaver in his voice. We all looked at him in silence. Uncle ED drew out his wallet with trembling hands. his fine old face lit with deep emotion. David looked up at him as if he wondered what joke was coming until he saw his excitement. "Ht~a's t-entv thousan' dollars" said Uncle Eb. "a reel, genuwine bank check. jist as good as gold. Here 'tisl A Crissmus present fer you an Eliza beth. An may God bless ye both.'
 David looked up incrcdulously. Then he took the bit of paper. A big tear rolled down his cheek.
 Why, Holden. What does this mean?' he asked.
 At the Lord pays his debts," said Uncle Eh. Read it."
 Hope had lighted the lamp.
 David rose and put on his spectacles. One eyebrow had lifted above the level of the other He held the check to the lamp light. Elizabe:6 stood at his el- bow.

 They turned it in the light. reading over and over again the happy tidings pinned to one corner of ii. Then they looked into each others eyes.

I> much coming and going. ,;: We are now the old folks Margaret and Nehemiah and Hope and I. Those others, with theil rugged strength. their simple ways their undying youth, are of the past The young folks-they are a new kind of people. It gives us comfort to think they will never have to sing in choirs or pound the rock" for board money. But know 1t is the worse luck for them. They are fine lot of young men and women-comely and well mannered-but they will not be the pathfinders of the future. What with balls and dinners and clubs and thea. ters they find too great a solace in the rear rank.
 Nearly twenty years after that mem orable Christmas, coming from Buff falo to New York one summer morn- ing. my thoughts went astray in the north country. The familiar faces, the old scenes, came trooping by. and that very day saw the sun set in Hillsbor- ough as had often those late years.
 Mother was living in the old home alone with a daughter of Grandma Bis nette. It was her wish to live and die under that roof She cooked me a fine supper with her own hands and great anxiety to please me.
 "Come, Willie," said she. as if I were a small boy again, you fill the wood box. an I'll git supper ready. Lucindy, you clear out" she said to the hired girl good naturedly. You dunno how t cook for him."
 filled the wood box and brought a pail of water and while she was frying the ham and eggs read to her part of a speech I had made in congress. Be- fore thousands I had never felt more elation. At last I was sure of winning her applause. The little bent figure stood thoughtfully turning the ham and eggs. She put the spider aside to stand near me. her hands upon her hips. There was a mighty pride in her face when l had finished. I rose, and she went and looked out of the win dow.
 "Grand-' she murmured. wiping her eyes with the corner of her handker- chief.
 Glad you like it." said. with great satisfaction.
 "Oh. the speech,' she answered. her elbow resting on the window sash, her hand supporting her head. T liked it veay we'll. but-but I was thinking of the sunset. How beautiful it isr'
 was weary after my day of travel and went early to bed there in my old room. I left her finishing a pair of socks she had been knitting for me- Lying in bed I could hear the creak of her chair and the low sung. familiar words:

 In the sweet fields of Eden.
 Where the tree of life is blooming
 There Is rest for you"
