WAS QUIET CHRISTMAS
Devoted Mostly to Home and
Social Gatherings of Friends
and Relatives

Christmas was admirably celebrat-
ed in Guthrie. The season was not
marked by accident CIR commotion,
but the home and social celebrations
we're general. There were gatherings
of all descriptions.
Practically no arrests were made
Saturday night, Sunday and Monday,
the period hi which rowdyism was
feared. Two or three of the bibulous
were taken up, but in view of the
season, were released on promises to
stay out of sight.
there were special services in the
churches of the city, aud most of the
Sunday schools had Christmas trees.
The poor we're rememberes by the
churches, societies, the Salvation
Army ans charitably inilined indiyidu-
ais. SO far as is known no home was
left entire'y without cheer.
Monday. being legal holiday. was
an extremely quiet time. The CITY
schools will be closed all this week,
rcsuming next Monday.

CHAPTER VIII.

Tom Gordon-Thomas Jefferson now
only in his mothers letters-was past
15, and his voice was In the transition
stage which made him ~blushingly self
conscious when he ran up the window
shade in the Pullman to watch for h
earliest morning outlining of old Leb-
anon on the southern horizon.
Inconsistencies returned with renewed
qualms when the train had doubled the
nose of Lebanon and threaded its way
among the hills to the Paradise por-
tai. Gordonia, of the single side-track,
had grown into a small iron town, with
the Chiawassee plant thanking a good
half-mile of the railway; with a Gin
derry street or two, and a scummy wav
of operatives cottages and laborers'
shacks spreading up the hillsides which
were stripped bare of their trees and
underground.
Toms eyes filled, and he was WON

progress had topped the hills to pour
over into the home valley beyond, hen
his father accosted lin. There was a
little shock at the sight of the grizzled
hair and beard turned so much grayer;
but the welcoming was like a grateful
draft of cool water in a parched wilder
ness.
We'll, now then! How are we, Bud
dy boy? Great land O. Canaan! but
you've shot up and thickened out
nightly in two years, son."
Tom was painfully conscious of his
size. Also of the fact that he was
clumsily in his own way particularly
as to hands and feet. The sectarian
school dwelt lightly on athletics and
such purely mundane trivialities as
physical fitness and the harmonious
education Of the growing body aud
limbs.
yes; I'm so big 1t makes me right
tired" he said, gravely, and his voice
cracked ~provokingly in the middle of
1t. Then he asked about his mother.
"She's tolerable-only tolerable, Bud
dy. She allows she don't have enough
to keep her doin' in the new" Ca
leb pulled himself up abruptly and
changed the subject with a ponderous
attempt at levity. "What-all have you
done with your trunk check, son? Now
I'll bet a hen worth fifty dollars ye'va
gone and lost it."
But Tom had not; and when the lug
gage was found there was another in
novation to buffet him. The old buggy
with its high seat had vanished, and
In its room there was a modern surrey
and a negro driver. Tom looked ask
ance at the new ~equipage.
Cant we make out to walk, pappy? p
he asked, dropping unconsciously into
the child time phrase.
"Oh, yes; l reckon we could. You're
not too young, and I'm not 80 terr'oie
old. But-get in, Buddy, get In; there'll
be trampin' enough for we, all summer
long"

He was sitting on the overhanging
bank. just where he had sat that other
day, when suddenly history repeated
itself. There was a rustling in the
bushes; the Great Dane bounded out,
thought not as before to stand men,
acing; n when he turned his head
she was there near him.
"Oh, it's you, Is it?" she said, coolly;
and then she called to the dog and made
as II she would go away. But Thomas
Jefferson's heart was full, and full
hearts are soft.
You needn't rum" he hazarded. Il
