MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS.

In October 1880, my parents,
brother, sister and myself, also
a young, half grown boy, my
cousin, who was my boon com
panion and sworn ally, left our
Minnesota home and came to
make a new one in South Dakota.
We arrived just four days ahead
of the "big BLIZZARD" Of the
suffering and Inconvenience Of
that time | need not speak. We
lived through it and whenit pass.
ed we began building our new
house. Soon a comfortable sod
stable housed our stock. and the
house went up rapidly and the
week before Christmas it was
practically finished except for
the plastering which could not be
done until spring. We tackled
building paper on the parlor wall
and then we young folks TIVE
were only kids, you know
thought we would white wash the
parlor. No United States sena-
tor ever received such a coat of
white wash ceiling, walls, floor,
furniture, brothers. coat, head
and shoes all got a good dose be
fore he finished, buta lastit was
all done and scrubbed clean. We
put down a gay rag carpet on the
parlor floor, polished the furni-
ture, rolled the big, new organ in
place, hung the pictures, and sat
down on Christmas eve perfectly
satisfied, My father had secured
the country looking for a turkey,
and at last success rewarded his
efforts. A Bohemian in the hills

generosity sent some of the
dainties to all of our neighbors
who were not SO well supplied as
we we're. We children had
brought plenty of hazel and hick-
Dry nuts, and on this Christmas
eve there was nothing lacking.
We played and sung the hymns
and carols that we had always
sung in the little chapel at home.
Our parents voices urembled and
broke when we sang "Silent
Night" and "Brightest and
Best" We did not understand
then. We do now. We invited
the two Yenney families to eat
dinner with Us Christmas. The
day dawned clear and cold. We

summoned two men who had been
chatting nearby. One of them was
Blair, and the other Hastings.
Take this man in charge he d.
rected. Hold him in solitary con-
tinement until you hear from me
Don't talk to him, don't let any one
else talk to him, and don't let him
talk. If any person speaks to him be-
fore he is locked up, take that person
IN charge also. He is guilty of no
crime, but a single word from him
now will endanger my life."
That was all. 1t was said and done
so quickly that Howard, dazed, con
fused and utterly unable to account
for anything, was led away without a
protest. Mr.. Grimm, musing gently
on the stupidity of mankind in gen
eral and the ease with which it is
possible to lead even a clever indi-
vidual into a trap, if the bait appeals
to greed, took a car and went up
town.
Some three hours later he walked
briskly along a narrow path strewn
with pine needles, which led tortu-
ously up to an old colonial farmhouse.
Outwardly the place seemed to be de-
serted. The blinds. battered and
stripped Of paint by wind and rain,
were all closed and one corner of the
small veranda had crumbled away
from age and neglect. In the rear of
the house, rising from an old barn, a
thin pole with a cup-like attachment
at the apex, thrust its point into the
open above the dense. odorous pines.

Naive Optlmjste.

six months ago there was another
outburst Of optimism as naive as
though the world were still living in
the sentimental era Of glass exhibi-
lions Since then there has opened
another era Of political earthquakes
and CONGREGATIONS, and the era of dis
turbance continues to extend. Before
the Tripoli problem has been safely
l1qui6ated or the peace of the Balkans
Is assured, we have the outburst in
China Of an instruction which may
change the face of the far east and
give an incalculable increase of force
to all the impulses set moving by the
triumph of Japan. All We can be GER
tain of In the region of world politics
Is that nothing Is certain. Do we need
further lessons to convince US that
the peace of civilization is founded
upon the crust of a v%olcano?" asks
the London Observer.

MI. Grimm noted these things as he
came along.
He stepped up quietly on the ver-
anda and had just extended one hand
to rap on the door when it was open
ed from within, and Miss Thorne
stood before him. He was not sur.
prised; intuition had told him he
would meet her again, perhaps here in
hiding. A sudden quick tenderness
lighted the listless eyes,. For an in
slant she stood staring, her face pallid
against the gloom Of the hallway be-
yond, and she drew a long breath Of
relief, as she pressed one hand to her
breast. The blue-gray eyes were
yelled by dropping lids, then she re-
covered herself and they opened into
his. In them he saw anxiety, appre-
hension, fear rel

bowed low over the white hand which
she impulsively thrust toward him.

that you were safe from the explo-

stopped and fought back her emotions,
then went on: But you must not
come in; you must go away at once.
Your-your life Is in danger here"
How did you know l was coming?"
inquired Mr.. Grimm.
From the moment Mr.. Howard tel

still in the mysterious half whisper.
Il knew that it could only be some
one from your bureau, and l hoped
that it was you. I saw how you
forced him to call us up here, and

DICKENS MADE A COLONIS7
For Forty-five Years His Son Toilee
in the Australian
Bush.

Forty-f1ve years ago a keen. pleas
ant faced man in a green velvet waist
coat might have been seen on the
platform at Waterloo Station, London
At his side was a young fellow of 20
his face flushed with emotion.
"GoCd-by, my boy. and God bless
you" spoke the elder man. DO YOU
duty and keep up your pluck"
The young mar thought of all the
good times he had had with his father
of all the wonderful talks, anc
games, and journeys they had enjoyed
together-he and the best, the kindes,
father in all the world-the tears
sprang to his eyes. The two gripped
hands again and the train steamed
away. And that night ~England-anG
London-and Rochester and Gad's
Hill-were shut u for forty-five
years while the young man worked
and dreamed and hoped in the Aus
tralian bush. The elder man was
Charles Dickens-the younger was his
son, Alfred Tennyson Dickens, god-sor
