To be Continued
First Christmas Tree.

When Ansgarius preached the White
Christ to the vikings of the North, so
runs the legend of the Christmas
tree, writes Jacob Riis in the Century,
the Lord sent his three messengers,
Faith, Hope and Love, to help light
the first tree. Seeking one that should
be high as hope, wide as love and
that bore the sign of the cross on ev-
cry bough, they chose the balsam fir,
which best of all the trees in the for
est met the requirements. Perhaps
that is a good reason why there
clings about the Christmas tree in my
old home that which has preserved II
from being swept along in the flood
of senseless luxury that has swamped
so many things in our money-mad
day At least so it was then. Every
time l see a tree studded with electric
lights, garlands Of tinsel gold festoon-
ing every branch, and hung with the
hundred costly knicknacks the store
keepers invent year by year Ito make
trade" until the tree itself disappears
entirely under its burden, 1 have a
feeling that a fraud has been practc-
ed on the kindly spirit Of Yule.
Wax candles are the only real
thing for a Christmas tree, candles OF
wax that mingle their perfume with
that of the burning fir, not the by
product Of some coal oil or other
abomination. What if the boughs do
catch fire? They can be watched and
too many candles are tawdry anyhow
Also, red apples, oranges and old
fashioned cornucopias made Of col
ored paper, and made at home, look
a hundred times better and filter in
the green: and so do drums and toy
trumpets and wald horns. and rock
ing horse reined up in front that need
not have cost $40 or anything like 1t.

operate the affairs that were surging
into his alone. The mere fact that the
end of his year was less than two
months off and that there was more or
less uncertainty as to the character Of
the end was sufficient cause for wor-
ry, but the new trouble was infinitely
harder to endure. When he sat down
to think over his financial enterprises
his mind treacherously wandered off to
Peggy Gray, and then everything was
hopeless. He recalled the courage and
confidence that had carried him to Bar
bara Drew with a declaration Of love
to the stunning, worldly Barbara
and smiled bitterly when he saw how
basely the two allies were deserting
him in this hour Of love for Peggy
Gray. For some reason he had felt
sure of Barbara; for another reason
he saw no chance with Peggy. She
was not the same sort; she was diff
ferent. She was-well, she was Peg
gy.
Occasionally his reflections assumed
the Importance of calculations. His
cruise was sure to cost 100000, a
princely sum, but not enough. Swear
engen Jones and his cablegram did not
awe him to a great extent. The spend
ing of the million had become a mania
with him now, and he had no regard
for consequences. His one desire, aside
from Peggy, was to increase the cost
of the cruise. They were leaving Gil
braltar when a new idea came into his
head.
He decided to change his plans and
sail for the North cape, thereby add
ing more than $4,000 to his credit.

CHAPTER XIV.

Brewsters heart almost ceased
beating, and every vestige Of color left
his face. Clear and distinct in the
light from the yacht the Arab and his
burden were outlined against the black
screen beyond. There was no mistak-
ing the earnestness Of the threat, nor
could the witnesses doubt the CHASTITY
intention of the long cruel knife that
cleaned on high. Peggy's body serv-
ed as a shield for that Of her captor.
Brewster and Bragdon recognized the
man as one of Mohammed's principal
retainers, a fierce looking fellow who
had attracted more than usual atten-
ton on the day of the sheiks visit.
For Gods sake, don't kill her!"
cried Brewster in agonized tones.
There was a diabolical grin on the
face of the Arab, who was about to
shout back some defiant taunt when
the unexpected happened
The sharp crack of a gun sounded
in the stern of Brewster's boat, and
an unerring bullet sped straight for
the big Arabs forehead. 1t crashed
between his eyes and death must have
been instantaneous. The knife flew
from his hand, his body Strengthened
and then collapsed, topping over, not
among the oarsmen, but across the
gunwale of the craft. Before hand
could be lifted TO prevent, the dead
Arab and the girl were plunged into
the sea.
A cry of horror went up from the
Americans and something surprising
" like a shout of triumph from the alb
ductors. Even as Brewster poised for
the spring into the water flying form
shot past him and into the sea with a
resounding splash. The man that fired
the shot had reckOned cleverly, and he
was carrying out the final details of an
inspired plan. The Arabs position as
he stood in the boat was such as to
warrant the sailors belief that he
could fall no other way than forward.
and that meant over the side of the
boat. With all this clearly in mind,
he had shot straight and true and was
on his way to the water almost as the
two toppled overheard.
Monty Brewster was in the water an
instant later. striking out for the spot
where they had disappeared. little to
the left of the course in which his
boat was running. There was a rattle
of firearms. with curses and cheers,
but he paid no heed to these sounds.
