to the bob-sled, on which four empty
barrels could dimly be discerned.
Have you put the pail and rope in?"
asked the boy.
The man nodded as they solemnly
his eyes with the crook Of his arm
and gave the horses the.r heads. He
tried from time to time to peer into
the storm, but the snow made wraiths
round him and froze his eyelashes to-
gether.
How the horses got there the boy
aever knew. but get there they did. and
whilst the Icy blast probed remorse-
lessly amongst his clothes for the
fesh beneath, and poured the powder
ed snow down his neck.
The maddened animals charged him
as he lowered the bucket into the we'll.
and spilled the water all over him as
they fought for the first drink.
1t was a slow process at best, and
his clothes and mittens cracked with
the CONCEALED Ice as he hauled up each
pail. When they had drunk their fill
they quivered with the cold, and
plunged to get back. but the boy bound
:he reins round the runners Of the fore
most bob. They bucked as the frozen
bits CALLED them. causing him to spill
as much as he put in the barrels. and
to slither about on the rapidly form
ing ice. rendering a foothold almost
impossible. In between times the boy
rubbed his eyes and the frozen places.
1t was slow and tedious task. and
he soon was tagged. because at 10 the
muscles are not hardened. The horses
knocked him over and the sleigh ran
over his legs, but. being light. only
bruised him. In his puny rage he
slashed them with the pail rope. and
1t warmed him until one of the horses
trod on the bucket and bent 1t Hat
Foolishly he took Off his mittens to

The Roman Saturnalia. which oc.

holidays.
As n manifestation of the gratitude
felt Mt the renewed prospects OF the
returning march of the sun. gifts were
exchanged and special hymns were
sung. These latter were really the
roman representatives of the modern
carol.
At the Saturnalia the Roman feast
ed. sang and danced. as We do at
Christmas. A ruler or king was ap-
pointed. who enjoyed certain preroga.

the season. Probably he Is the an.

Merriment was n matter of general

I8T dEhE are SeVeTal eSCeeulHS'
2SS ly touching legends concern
ing bells, which are heard
ringing from buried cities and villages
at this season. One belongs to viii
lage near Raleigh. in Nottingham
shire, and the story runs that once.
where there is now but valley. there
was village which. with every trace
of life and habitation. had beeS swal.
lowed by an earthquake; but ever
since, at Christmas. the bells Of the
buried church are heard to ring as of
old.
A similar legend is told Of Preston.
In Lancashire, and yet another and
more moving one comes from the
Netherlands. 1t is said that the city
Of Been was notorious for its black
and shameless sins. as well as re-
nowned for its beauty and magniii-
cence. To the Sodom Of the middle

the city of sin. was buried deep. clean
out Of sight. beneath the waves. But
ever at Christmas up from beneath the
covering waters comes the sweet call
Ing of church bells buried in Been. 1t
is n legend which appears to tell in
parable that nothing which ever be-
longed to the Christ. and was dedi-
Gated to his service. Is ever wholly lost
from him and alienated from service;
that ever and again something OF their
inherent beauty and compelling sweet
ness rises from the depths through all
