Begone, I'll have nothing to do with you! You love to cause ruin. I want to bring about plenty and peace.

The snow fell heavily piling up great drifts wherever an obstacle came in its way. And 1t filled the window lodges and leyeled the porch steps at the home of the Weather bys.

 Master New Year was displeased that this upstart, IS h. deemed Jack Frost to be, should have stopped him in his prog ress, for he. was determined to be on time when the bells rang out the hour of his coming. So, frowning slightly, he replied: Be on your way, Jack Frost, and delay me not. Know you that am Master New Year, soon to be crown ed king of all the land, and I am intent upon my journey. So, delay me not"
 But there Is always time to play d bit,' declared Jack Frost. Now, that bis work for the year was over, and finding time heavy on his hands as he wandered towards his ice-bound home in the North-whither old Winter had driven Shim-he wished to daily on tho road and find any idle pleasures that might come his way. "Come, let's have n chat. If you're really Master New Year, I may be able to tell you many things of the land and the people that you are going to reign over for the next 366 days"

Minnie had worked busily all the week making a fine big snow man. Minnie was not very big herself, therefore It was very hard work for her to build snowman all alone; so, when she was almost up 10 his head she decided to call Puggie, her pretty pet puppy, and ask him to help her. She knew he could scratch snow and pile 1t up for her to use. So she went to the door and called to Puggie. who was asleep on the fur rug before the fire. "Oh, Pug-Pug-PugS.e, come here and help me work!'
 Puggie bounded up at sound of hls It, tie mistress voice and ran gaily Into the yard, where he was introduced to the headless snow man. This is Mister Snowman, Puggie," said Minnie. "Of course, he can't bow to you yet, as he hasn't a head. But as soon as he gets one maybe he will do so. Anyway, you must bow to Mister Snowman and show your good manners" And Minnie made Puggie, greatly against his will, bow very low and shake his paw and say, "Bow-wow, bow-wow-wow."
 But Puggie was fuller of mischief than he was of manners or tricks. He may have disliked the headless snow man, too, just on general principles; but, anyway he refused to work as Minnie dictated. She showed him repeatedly how 10 scratch up loose snow into pile for her to work from but the minute she let go of his paws he would put them trem- blingly down, whine and shiver as much as to say: ''Now, for pity's sake, don oblige me to work on this lfeless, silent tbino If thia graat clumsy snow man could run and jump and play I'd do my best to help you put head on him.

 Minnie. provoked at Puggie, made him sit down on the cold doorstep where she could keep an eye on him. After while she thought it time to go into the house to warm her hands and eat a cookie. But to punish Puggie for his stubborn ness in refusing to help her in her work she bade him remain out of doors till she should return. Well, the little Miss did not know her pet puppy's ugly tricks. As soon as the door had closed behind her Puggie made leap at the snow man. scratching and gnawing at his legs till. had they been of flesh, they would cer- tainly have poured forth blood. But as they were only of soft snow they crum- bled away and became a heap without form.
 Just as Puggie was finishing his work of destruction Minnie reappeared on the scene. For a moment she could not speak, her mouth was so full of cookie. But the instant she swallowed the sweet morsel she ran toward Puggie, crying out: You bad. naughty little scampl You've killed my poor snow man, and be- fore he'd got his head oni Oh, I'll whip you for your naughtlness, I will. And you'll go to bed tonight without your sup per, too.'
 And that night as Puggie lay him down in his warm basket, his little stom- ach begging for nice supper, he felt that to behave naughtly only injured himself. The snow man didn't suffer; and Minnie could build another one; but he-oh, he couldn't have his supper and an affectionate good night from his kind little mistressl So he made up his mind, Puggie did, to be good and obedient after this, and never to kill any more headless snow man-especially If his young mis- tress were likely to see him at his work.

then devour him. Buddy had heard his mother read of how the giant ''smelt the blood of an Engishman." Although Bud dy was not English his flesh might be found palatable. Buddy shut his eyes, shuddered and gripped his weapon tight ly. He would fghtl Yes, he would not q be taken like a coward. Perhaps he had but one more moment to live. An. how he wished he might see his dear amma and papa. What horrible thing for his dear mamma to come home and ind there, sitting beside her kitchen fire, the terri ble pirate eating from the bones of her darling Buddy. Tears of agony poured from Buddy's eyes at this picture, but he uttered not a sound.
 But suddenly he opened his eyes and strained his ears. What sound was that! It was his mothers voice-oh, there could be no mistaking its dear tones. She was at the front door, calling out: Buddy, son, open the door quickly" Buddy re- membered now that he had the key in his little pocket. What should he do? He must go to his mammals assistance he must go and warn her of the terrible robber and man-eater who now walked so boldly about the kitchen. But what was that? The pirate was going to the door to admit his mother. He might catch her and carry her away forever. Buddy's heart stopped beating. Clutching the scissors bravely he kicked the closet door open and dashed out. He would strike the pirate down If he dared to injure his mother. His eyes were no longer she'd ding tears, they were as full of courage as the eyes of a young knight errant could possibly be.

Master New Year was as happy as he could be. Only one day intervened be- tween the old regime and the new, the NEW of which he was to be kingi He was making his toilet very carefully, donning a rarment of crested ice, trimmed about with bands of softest, downy snow. And over the garment glistened the most beautiful frost gems, laid out in fantas- tic designs. A cap, fringed round the back with slender icicles that sparkled like diamonds, was Get jauntily upon his head. In his hands he carried a great book, book whose leaves were as yet uncut and whose covers were sealed, On the stroke of 12, December 31, he would come into his power: then he would break the seal of the great volume and cut the leaves, preparatory to inscrib- ing within 1t the events of the 360 days of the time that belonged to him. King New Year he would be, and very soon.
 Many ice fairies assisted Master New Year with his toilet, halling him as the coming king. And as he departed from out the great Northern cave, the strong hold of all the New Years that had gone before him, they gave voice to mighty anthem which ended with the lines, Peace on earth and good will to man." And smiling in his happiness, warmed through with anticipation. Master New Year, as yet a child, shook out his 1axen hair of spun ice and cried farewell to the place that had given him birth, the place where his forefathers had come Into life, for To! these thousands of years. Then he was off like the wind carrying the great volume as easily as though it had been of a feathers weight.
 But hardly had Master New Year got beyond the icebergs of the great North

was the proof.
 Buddy glanced hurriedly about, his blue eyes wide and full of terror. There seemed no avenue of escape, for to go out by the kitchen door would mean to run into the arms of the pirates confederate. And were no confederate there. the dark ness, appalling In its denseness. would get him In its clutch.
 An. the steps were leaving the front porch and going round to the back door by way of the plank walk. Buddy heard them perfectly. Step, step, step, first the right foot. then the left. No time for deiberation now. Buddy knew that the latch of the kitchen door was minus a screw. It could be burst off with slight pressure. He looked for some place to hide.

New Years feast But mamma had be- gun to fear that the absent one might be detained from home overnight. as the storm had set in early that afternoon and might have prevented his starting from the town, whither he had been obliged to go on business that morning. But even though this disappointment had been feared Buddy had been very con- tent In his dear mammals company. While the fat fowl baked in the oven she had sat beside Buddy, reading to him from book of strange and wondrous tales. The story chosen by Buddy was one or a young prince in dense forest filled with goblns and dragons. Buddy knew the story almost by heart, and was pre- pairing to suffer shaking knees and chat tering teeth at certain thrilling point. when of sudden mammals voice was interrupted by a quick knock at the door. In another minute Buddy's cousin, Kitty Marshall, came into the room, crusted over with snow and looking like a storm sprlte.
 "Oh, Aunt Myrtle" cried Kitty, mamma has been taken quite i'll. Can't you come right away and do something for her? Papa hasn't come home yet and I'm alone with her"
 Mrs. Weatherby, with a few hurried words of encouragement to Buddy, put on hood and cloak and departed with her little niece to the sick bed of her sister, "I'll not be long away, honey," she had called to Buddy as she quickly closed the door behind her.
 For a mlnute-whlch to Buddy was an hour-he remained In his little chair by the stove. Then fear seized his heart and he crept to the door, locking 1t se- curey and putting the key In his pocket An, now he was safe. But no-the wind rattled at the latch and the thousand and one terrors of the storm and dark ness beset him.
 Then he felt that he must do some thing to pass away the time,a and got big, red apple. which he munched on gloomlly. But though apples always tasted so good to him as he sat by the fire of evenings, this one seemed to have lost Its flavor. He threw the uneaten part on the hearth and took the book from the table and began turning the leaves, hunting for the pictures. There was the youthful prince-the one whom mamma had just been reading about-in courageous encounter with strange crea- ture of the forest. (You see, Buddy was a little chap, and could not read the text. but could read the stories from the pictures). For few minutes he followed the youthful prince of adventures; but this only served to increase hls fear. True, the pictures were of strange beasts and people of the forest; but might not they be found in the copse at the foot of the hill, quarter of mile distantf On dark nights, when he walked with his father past the patch of wood and dense ,undsrgrowth. he felt sure that he heard strange noises issuing forth from their depths. But at such times he felt brave. for the big, strong father was with him. holding his little chubby hand. Besides that, his papa always carried the lantern, the light of which was such protection against the dangers of the wood

Buddy stopped short. What sight was there! His mother had gone round to the kitchen door and was just entering. and and-the pirate-he was bending over and kissing her.

 And as the three happy Weatherbys sat round the table, eating their New Years dinner, Buddy told his story.

New Year Anthem. .*

Ring out the old, ring in the new," Let children's voices sing. Ring out the false, ring in the true." Let deep-toned church bells ring. Let hearts of little boys and girls Be filled with Christlike love. Let sweet peace reign on earth below We'll as in Heaven above. And everywhere the anthem old Will swell with music new; For hearts of men do ever long For all things good and true. So let the mighty organs peal. Let voices cleave the air. Lift high the songs of praise to God, Then knee in holy prayer.
