The Indian, then, would be guarding

Old Sanchez was the villain they
wanted-dead or alive. With this IN

room, and, revolvers in hand, CROPPED
their way across to the connecting

Keith flung the door wide open. and
leaped down the step. AS he did so
he did SO he struck a body and fell
forward. his revolver knocked from
his hand. Rising to his knees, the
dim light of the stars revealed a man
already half across the stream. Sud
denly two sparks of fire leaped forth
from the blackness of the opposite
hank: the man flung up his hand, stag
gered. then went stumbling up the
stream, knee deep in water. He made
a dozen yards, Keeling as though
drunk. and fell forward, face down
across a spit of sand. Keith stared
out at the black. motionless shape
felt along the ground for his lost gun,
and arose to his feet. Bristoe had
turned over the dead body at the
foot of the steps, and was peer1ng
down into the upturned face.

"AS YE DID UNTO. THEM"

So he died, and they said unto him:
1T is written against you that you
needed not the sorrow and the want
of them that were stricken in poverty
and suffered in illness and want"
And he said:
THAT is unfair, for all my life long
noted especially the suffering and
want of the poor, and not Christmas
went by that l did not say over and
over that was sorry for them. No
one gave them more sympathy than |,
no one showed more commiseration
tor them. Why, lots of times |
thought Of them on cold winter
nights, and said to my friends that it
was too bad they had to endure pri-
vations
THAT Is correct" they said unto
him But 1t Is written that you did
not materialiZe your sympathy-you
simply sympathized in words, and
words are not eaten, nor are they
worn, nor are they burned in stoves"
So he was abashed, and stood silent
for a space. Then he said meekly:
And / must not come in?"
AS to that they did not answer, but
they said again unto him:
"All those that you sympathized
with are here, and now they will SYM
pathize with you"

en- tne CrlSlS came
at Christmas. which happened to cor
respond with the Yuletide festival, at
the time of the winter solstice.
Longfellow has used one of these
stories in King Olafs Christmas"
Another, in which real religious fer
vor and moral heroism play part, Is
the story of the first Christmas tree.
There stands at Altenbergen, in
northern Germany statue erected in
1871 in honor of Saint Bonface; and
the place Of the statue is said to be
the site of the first Christian church
in north Germany.
with any of the nine popes who bore
the name, was Briton by birth. and
his name was Wynfrith. Declining
high ecclesiastical honor, he chose to
be a missionary to the rude tribes Of
the German forests. OF these tribes
Tacitus tells us; and we know that
they were implacable in war and
bloody In their worship, but that
among their virtues was marked
purity of private life and love Of
home.
Each year these people sacrificed
to their gods. One of their holiest
shrines was great oak at Geismar.
There they gathered at midnight at
the winter solstice. and offered fair
lad as a sacrifice to call back the re-
treating sun.
Thus they were assembled at the
Yuletide In the year 724. AS the mid
night approached, an old priest raised
the hammer to strike down the child,
when Boniface interposed a strong
arm and an eager word. He told them
of child who was born seven hun
dred years before, and how he show
ed to men that they need offer no
more bloody sacrifices. He told them
of the love of God and the beauty of
his service. The stern men heard and
believed. Urged by the heroic mis-
slonary, they hewed down the dark
thunder-oak, the scene of so many
sacrifices.
The legend says that when the tree
fell, it left young fir growing be-
tween the shattered branches, and un-
broken by their fall. Boniface told
them to take that tree to their ban
quoting hall; to serve God with Joy
and feasting; and to take for their
Yule tree this one, with roots un-
stained with blood, and with ever
green foliage for a symbol of immor-
tality
If part of the story Is myth, 1t Is not
all myth; and it is surely a beautiful
way of explaining one of the most
beautiful of Christmas CUSTOMS

Christmas Plum Pudding.

The Christmas plum pudding Is de-
scended from the plum porridge and
Is a time-honored dish at every
Christmas feast. To be properly
made, each person In all the house
hold must stir it before 1t is boiled
and the mistress of the house must
add the spices with her own fair
hand" and SO she favors fortune for
year. If she Is an American and
mixes her pudding in an ancient china
bowl, stirring it with as ancient a
spoon, whose handle is adorned with
an old English crest, SO much the bet
ter, for in the new land she is help
Ing to keep alive the customs that
made old England merrie.
The pudding should be boiled in a
well-floured cloth six hours upon the
day of mixing, six hours upon the day

cease to arise from the pot while the
pudding is within it."

Mlstletoe and the DruIds.

The custom Of decorating strategic
points in the household with sprigs of
mistletoe at Christmas dates far back
to the time of the Druids, who held
the little plant in great veneration.
At the approach Of their winter festi-
val, twigs of it were placed above the
doors of their houses to serve as tails
mans and signs to the sylvan deities
that shelter and comfort awaited them
within.
Present-day customs relating to mis-
tletoe represent the evolution of the
Druidical legend.
