There are many Christmas. supersti-
tions long held as articles Of faith
that are to be recalled, says Country
Life. How that oxen kneel in their
stalls at midnight on Christmas eve,
in alteration Of the Nativity, and for
one hour have the power Of speech
for that one hour, too, the lost spirits
have rest. Judas sleeps, Herod ceases
to clank his chains, the daughter Of
Herodias may pause in the dance, in
which she is condemned to spin for
ever, and Pilates ghost ceases its
wanderings on Mount Pilatus. 1t was
believed, too. that the sound Of church
bells could be heard wherever a
church had stood, though no trace re-
mained, and that, on that pregnant
night. one sleeping in manger would
see his future in a vision.

The Redemption Of De Labour

was running down the street bowling
/ with agony.
De Labour thrust one of his assaiI-
ants through the throat, but even as
he did SO he felt a sharp pain shoot
through his left side and he stumbled
forward with pike thrust in his
thigh.
A wild madness seized him, He
threw away his sword and grasping
the pike which was leveled at his
breast, wrenched II from his assailant.
AS he did so he received two more
wounds from the swordsman, but be
barely knew It Grasping the pike
with both hands, he rushed forward,
impaling the man opposite him. Then
he turned with empty hands on his re-
naming opponent, ana Selling him
with superhuman strength, he hurled
him against the wall
But one idea possessed the blood.
drunk man. He must wipe out his dis
grace and at least die gentleman.
He turned about furiously, seeking an
other foe, but he was alone with tha
dead and the unconscious girl
TO place the girl In safety and co
back and fight til he died was the
next thought
He was fearfuly wounded and had
lost much blood. but he was sustained
by wild spirit Of elation
He raised the girl In his arms ana
started forward. but a hundred steps
and his strength failed him. He stag
gered and fell and could not rise. He
knew he was dying, and sudden im-
pulse made him wish to see this girl
for whom he had sacrificed himself.
Painfully he raised himself on his el-
bow and for the first time looked at
the face Of the unconscious girl Sud
denly he sat completely up, gave a
loud laugh, and fell back dead.
The face he had looked at was that
Of Lucile-the tickle light Of love who
had ruined him.

~ ELLO, George, what's the matter
M with your" asked VIII James
as George Johnson stepped into
his office in one of the sky-scrapers,
and sank wearily into a chair.
I'm clear tagged out" was the
reply. DO you know, this Christmas
business is something awful?"
James laughed. Are you finding
that out for the first timer
NO, but it seems worse than usual
this time. It appears that my folks
have nearly every little thing they
need, and, when find some particular
thing that strikes my fancy, it costs
so much, by the time / even up all
around, / can't afford it."

PITY THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

an who lives a truly sincere, unself-
ish life invariably shows her fine
thinking mind and her well-adiusted
conscience in the words she speaks,
in her eyes. her voice, her manner and
whole conduct
The best loved and most respected
women have not been those Of ex-
treme beauty, but rather those OF large
souls and broad minds. Beauty itself
is all right It is a delightful possess
sion and one which we should all seek
to a certain extent, but not to the ex-
clusion of every other thought Be
lieve me, good looks without sweet
ness and the glorious light Of tender
womanhood, amount to little. Exter-
nal loyeliness fades; spiritual beauty
increases with advancing years. and
the wider knowledge that comes with
them.

Accordingly an urgent message was
telephoned in half jovial, half mys-

come to James office at once on inn

promptly, undecided as to whether 1t
meant a practical joke or business Of
pressing Importance
Will called the meeting to order
in a very formal manner and request

Every one seemed to enter into the
spirit Of the object of the meeting, as
