Kathryn glanced at the elevation down

lost in a cloud of dust, and Kathryn
stood alone in the midst of Big Horn

runaway horses feet.

down the incline and stopped before

CHRISTMAS CAROLS.
The First One Was Sung Nearly Two
Thousand Years Ago.

The first Christmas carol was sung to
the startled shepherds of Judaea nearly
1000 years ago. 1t voiced the praises
of the Newly Born, and it rang - on
the frosty air:
GLORY to God in the highest, and on
earth peace good will toward men,"
This is sung today by all Christen-
dom to celebrate the birth of the
Christ The first carol has been re-
peated yearly by all mankind.
Many have been the meanings given
comes frem the Latin derivation caro-
iare, which literally transiated means
ito sing songs 10y
Cnrfstna-is the first JOYOUS festival
of the Christian church, aud carols are
the songs Of joy sung at this festival.
And, though the word carol is used for
the Easter hymn and songs of other
festivals, it rightfully belongs to the
Christmas one alone.
The history of the carol in England
and even today we look to England for
the majority of our carols--has been
varied from reign to reign. In early
days the Chapel Royal choir sang carols
at court There is record of a Christ
mas kept by Henry VII. when the
singers Sang a carol" Queen Eliza
beth kept Christmas in right royal
fashion with the singing of carols and
with dancing" Charles |. ordered the
nobility and gentry to keep open house
on Christmas day at the country seats
and bade them sing "carols and joyous
music" But Puritanism did away
with "all observations of the five and
twentieth day of December commonly
called Christmas day." and the Scotch
parliament in 1852 decreed against the
Singing of carols without or within
kinks and all silk uthers supersttions
and papistical rites"
During the last few years a marked
change has been observed in the mat
ter of Christmas carols in England
and In our own country. The great
number of writer's of music in England
are one and all writer's of church mu-
sic, and the carol has been one of
their proudest compositions.
Carol writing has been successfully
tried by Sullivan, Stainer, Barnby,
Monks, Dykes, George William War
ren, Gerrit Smith, John Hyatt Brewer,
Homer n. Bartlett, Frederick Grant
Gleason, Harry Rowe Shelley and
others.
The Christmas carols of the 1880
years have changed greatly. At one
time they were only wassails, to be
sung over the punch bowl of the disso-
lutte kings, but the carol of today takes
highest rank in music.-New York Tel

In the silence which followed she be-
gan to realize how cold she was. The
wind sucked through the gulches and
drove over the hills. chilling her
through and through. Her shivers
aroused her companion, who gently
drew the fur robe up, tucking it Sc
curely around her. Then without apollo
gy or ceremony. he gathered her numb
fingers into his left hand and warmed
them.
His gentleness contrasted strangely
with his late peremptory actions and
added to the unreality of the situation.
"It's all a dream" thought Kathryn,
her head dropping drowsily. Perhaps
I'll wake and find he isn't q villain,
but a very And with the thought un-
finished, overcome by fatigue she
drifted into dreamland.
When she awoke she gazed about in
bewilderment The sun was painting
the east in gorgeous colors, and at the
right in q misty distance arose the
peaks of the ShOshone mountains.
Meeteetse lay behind them, and down
at the left, near the road, Wood river
chattered among its stones. Suddenly
a dawning recollection brought the
blood surgng into her cheeks. She
raised her hands to adjust her velvet
toque, at the same time meeting a pair
of dark eyes containing an expression
which filled her with confusion as she
glanced inyoluntarily at the fur clad
shoulder against which she had been
sleeping.
'I wish you a most delightful Christ
mas her companion said quietly, his
eyes on the ponies.
Her heart leaped in sudden hope.
She tried to speak, but her lips were
parched and stiff, and it was an in
.stant before she could whisper, Where
where am going to spend it?"

"You recollect that I am a good horse

"You recollect that I am a good horse
woman"
Five minutes later she was flying
along broken track on the road to the
mountains, while Stetson scratched his
head again and laughed ''Thats west
ern grit" he declared approvingly.
To Kathryn it was not a question of
grit, but of justice. The man who had
protected her against her will and In
the face of her insults should spend
Christmas with her at the Y-open-A
ranch II she had power to bring him
back. On and ON flew her pony until
she sighted a horseman ahead, riding
at the easy gait which betokened a
long distance to travel
"Royalr' she cried, unconsciously u.s.
ing the name by which she had heard
him called. Royal please wait"
He turned In the saddle, stopped his
horse and slowly squared the animal
across the road. His face was pale I'M
der its tan, and his eyes contained an
expression of uncertainty as he watch
ed the approaching girl.
81 came after you," she said abruptly,
refining in her horse. "T'-
"Well?" His voice was still relentless,
but not his eyes.
Its all miserable mistake" she be-
gan. Belle sent the wrong photo
graph. l acted badly, know; but. oh,
l was so frightened 1 believed'-a
flush swept over her face-"that you
were running away with me-"
Suddenly the ludrcous side appeared,
and the sunshine broke out in every
curve and dimple of her face. Her
laugh rang infectlously, and Royal join
ed in 1t as he replied, "No, but want
ed to badly in spite of the fact that
might have been shot!'
Kathryn's eyes fell, but the dimples
did not retreat. "Then will you come
back now and not wait until Miss Shell
bourne returns east?"
There was a pause. Royal passed his
hand over his eyes and spoke in low
voice. Eyes. I'll go back If you wish it."
and there was an emphasis on the
you which increased the color in
Kathryn's face. He ungloved his hand
and held 1t out.
Quietly the girl laid hers within it
and repeated steadily, eyes, I wish it."
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1906-12-12

fulness in the tone, which caused Kath-
ryn's anger to mount above her fear.
With numb fingers she drew out her
little gun and gripped 1t desperately in
both hands.
81 can shoot you," she declared in
dignantly, fumbling for the trigger.
The next instant she stood empty
handed, while her revolver disappeared
somewhere inside the big fur coat.
You are probably unaware you were
holding the butt end of that gun to-
ward mel' its possessor remarked in
voice Enthusiastically choked with amuse-
ment. Then the amusement faded.
Pardon me- but this is no time for
childs play he added as the sounds
back of them became louder.
DeXterously and unexpectedly he
picked Kathryn up. set her in the car
riage and was beside her before she
could utter protest.
Pm sorry. but there's no time to
lose" he said. looking into her eyes
with such apologetic brown ones that
the girls fear of him turned into an
angry bewilderment.
AS the ponies rose to the next mesa
the sounds on the back trail resolved
themselves into the shouts and laugh
ter of many men. Never were the
sounds of human voices more welcome
to Kathryn. II am going to appeal to
those men for ad,' she declared in a
spirited voice. "rhey may be western
gentlemenl''
Her abductor's face went red, and
he made no reply for moment. Then
he said quietly: ''That is according to
what your IDEAS of gentlemanliness
may be. They are drunken sheep herd
ers on their way to Meeteetse, and it's
my intention to give them a wide
BERTH
"Ohr The spirit oozed out of Kath-
ryns voice. She glanced at the profile
beside her. the strong mouth and firm
chin. He certainly looked like a gem
tleman himself. she thought, but how
could she explain his actions. Every
thing was unreal and contradictory in
this awful western land, from porters
that refused tips to attractive men who
abducted defenseless women without
appearing to enjoy the operation in the
least.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1906-12-12

Her abductor turned quickly and
looked at her. There was a touch of
anger and wonder in Us voice. "I
suppose here at the Y-open-A ranch"
She strained her eyes in silence down
Wood river valley, where a collection
of buildings appeared in the midst of
a group of trees. The ponies turned
sharply from the highway and stopped
before a large gate. Their driver laid
the reins in Kathryn's hands and
sprang to the ground. Swinging back
the gate. he said briefly. This is the
Y-open-A."
Down the field pony galloped bear
ing a well known figure, and Kathryn
sat stupid, scarcely believing the evil
dence of her own senses. Behind her
sounded a short whistle, and at the
signal the horses started, and she
found herself driving alone to meet the
mistress of the ranch.
Il couldn't wait, Kathryn" called
Belle. "a merry Christmas to you,
dear. and happy time among u.s."
Mrs. Stetson wheeled her horse, and
the two clasped hands.
Kathryn could not speak, but Belle
chattering and laughing did not no.
tice.
The ponies stopped in the midst of
collection OF low buildings, and Belle,
dismounting, threw her pony's reins
over his head and carried her friend
into the house
"Oh, you dear, you are nearly dead"
j she cried, bustllng about. "Come right
out in the kitchen, and We'll put your
feet into the oven and get you a hot
drink. And, dear, can't wait to ask it

Kathryn arose tragically. "Funnyw

said hesitatingly, "if this has anything

"Whaty" cried Belle.
"Fact," admitted Stetson. "He strobe

remarking incidentally that he was go

Kathryn glanced out of the window
at Bellies saddled pony, and a mad
impulse occurred to her. A bright red
spot burned on each cheek (Which

Stetson pointed. Kathryn pulled on
her gloves as she crossed the room.
