"The Lord" Harding answered
tersely. 1T isn't the first time he has
made children his messengers"
Maxwell lifted his eyes dreamily,
like a man who had been unconscious
and who was coming slowly back to a
world too good to be true. "I-I used
to believe those things" he said. I'D

believe I've been faced about-in a
minute"
The clergyman had pushed the man
into a deep chair; the freight washed
friendly vagueness over the shabby
clothes and over his face, molding
now into new lines under a crisis. His
eyes lifted to his friends with dazed
gaze which had lost bitterness. DR..
Harding, standing over him, laid a
calm hand on his shoulder.
my lad" he spoke gently, ut ap-
pears to me that going into wrong-do-
ing is like going into a tunnel that
leads downhill to darkness. At every
step the walking gets harder, and the
air gets worse, and it's dirtier and
more uninteresting And all the time
all you have to do is to face about, and
you see the sunlight.
"Of course it's not simple getting
back-I know that. Sure as fate you
will bark your shins, and stagger in
to holes, and fall down, and maybe
get discouraged. But Heavens, mani

a place in the world"
He felt with a shock the strength
and the will to get these things. The
worn man whose inspired eyes burned
him, who stood for a force beyond
either of them, had poured strength
and will into him. He threw out his
arms, drew a quick breath, and rose
to his feet resolutely.
Lord helping me, I'll do It," he
said.
That's the way to go at the busi-
ness" Harding said, his face glowing
with enthusiasm. You'll do it, that
way"
And with that the clock in the hall
struck four, and from upstairs there
was suddenly an eruption and a de-
scent of barbarians. Alice and Benny,
mysteriously warned in a dream of
their fathers arrival, came down upon
him, like q wolf on the fold, and all
but tore him limb from limb with
stress of affection, and then, all at
once, aware of the stranger, they were
shy and lapsed into silence. But DR..
Harding took his girls hand and put
it into Carl Maxwell's.
'I've brought home an old friend,
Alice" he SAID. wish him a merry
Christmas, my dear"
And Alice smiled and said the
words, while Benny, strangling his
father, REINFORCED the greeting with
full, slow tones.
Merry Christmas, old fireman a
happy New Year." said the deliberate
Benny.
Harding, hung with children, loos-
ened hand to pat the mans shout
der. His eyes were bright with the
vision of the pure in heart, who see
"Benny's hit it," he said. That's
what we all wish you, and what's COM

The stable was quiet; small feet
Aurried over the snow toward the
youse; the door was left standing
tpen, and strong moonlight poured
Through it and illumined the place.
vNhen Dr. Harding drove in, the figure
of a man stood black in the patch of
brightness.
who is that?" he asked cheerily.
The man answered: Its a friend
Carl Maxwell"
Carl MAXWELL" the clergyman's
voice had a tone of unbelief What
do you mean-how can it be Carl
MAXWELL"
The man swung forward. Look at
me-" he said, and pulled away his hat.
Harding looked searchingly, and with
a quick movement set on the floor the
Gag he held, and caught the others
hand.
MY boy, I'm glad to see you," he
said. Help me unharness. We must
Charlevoix county herald., 1910-01-01

Maxwell lifted his chin and threw
at the clergyman a glance like a
blow. Harding went on at ease.
Its very much to him. When you
saw him talking to me to-day, what
do you suppose he was talking about?
You. When the man in the stable just
now answered in your name, l felt as
if Heaven had reached down and
picked you up from somewhere and
put you in my hands as an answer to
what Sidney Maxwell said. He. told
me that Christmas never came but the
thought of you was with him; that
when his own boys played with their
toys around their tree he remembered
always how you and he had played to-
gether; that he had tried in vain to
find you; that it was a constant grief
that he and his father had judged you
harshly; that he would give his for
tune to know where you are and make
things right"
AS the man listened, defiance melt
ed out of him; he did not answer or
look up. The clergyman went on.

The parson laughed. He put a
friendly hand on the deep shoulder
and patted 1t, as If the man were a

Ten minutes later the man stood be-

finished the recital with a look of bit

"No-let me carry it for you" the
younger man threw back, holding to
IL firmly.
There was a seconds hesitation;
Hardings fingers loosened; he turned
to the door; Carl Maxwell held the
bag in his hands.
Down the slope Harding led the
way, and through the orchard wildly
black and white with moonlight and
shadow. Suddenly he faced about
the footsteps behind him had stopped
he stared through the zigzag of bare
branches and deep shadows-where
was the man?

splash Of blackness ten feet back
stirred the figure.
"All rigat, DOCTOR" Maxwell's voice
answered II stopped to see if the
seat l built in the Queen apple-tree

A low light shone in the study as
the two mounted the steps of the side
piazza, and the clergyman slipped his
key into the lock.
He threw open the door and stood
aside to let his guest enter. The man
halted, and made an uncertain move
ment backward. Then he stepped in
side. In a moment the light was
turned up, the fire was blazing, the
room hung with cheerfulness. Max

COLLINS OF CHRISTMAS TIME
In Greece They Are Called Lame
Needles, and They Do a Deal
of Mischief.

Grecians of low degree have a be.
lief that certain spirits called lame
needless" visit the earth at the Christ
mas season. One lame needle, prob
ably the leader, comes on Christmas
eve, and the rest of the tribe put in an
appearance on Christmas day. They
are dreadful creatures to look upon,
yet are dangerous only at night. from
sunset to cock crow. When not en-
gagged in dancing, these queer gob-
Inns wander about and do any amount
of mischief.
1t is their custom to enter houses
by the chimney; so every housewife
is careful at this season of the year
to leave some embers burning all
night. For the lame needles dread
fire, and also crosses, and it is. for
this reason that at Christmas time
one sees so many whitewashed crosses
on the cottage doors in Greece.
The priests alone have any power
over these uncanny visitors, and 1t 10
to ward them off that a procession of
priests and two acolytes goes from
house to house on Christmas day
They give each house a blessing, watt
the censor in at the door and pass on.
When Epiphany comes the lame
needles are forced to fee again under
ground.
