Posts advice most, there had been
some vague trouble between the doc
tor and Aunt Margaret. Aunt Marga-
ret no longer wore the diamond ring
on the third finger of her left hand,
and Doctor Post came no more to the
house. 1t was very disheartening.
Schuyler wanted to ask Doctor Post q
score Of questions about the carols.
Did the people who sang them wear
surplices. like the choir boys in the
Christmas procession at st. Jude's?
Did they stand still or march around
while they sang? These and other
points sadly taxed his eight-year-old
intellect. But his determination to
sing that carol in the street never
faltered. Hence the secret rehear.
sails in the nursery.
After much elaboration, he decid.
ed that surplices would lend dignity
to the occasion, and this decision was
furthered by the thought that night
gowns would make very passable sur
plices. Then, a tomato can suggesting
possibilities, he added a censor to the
properties. A tomato can punched full
of holes. swung on the gilt cord that
comes about candy boxes, and filed
with burning joss-sticks, would make
a beautiful censor.
1t was Christmas Eve, and Schuy-
ler's plans were complete. He felt

Seraphina arose, and, sitting on the
side of her bed, blinked at him re-

awake and ready for anything which
savored of exciting novelty The two
elder children dressed hurredly, and
between them they managed to put
on little Thad's clothes. Then Schuy-
Ter crept noiselessly to the hall below
and returned with coats and hats and
mittens When they had bundled
themselves into these outer garments,
each donned "surplice," At the last
moment Schuyler bethought him Of
the brilliant cord on his fathers bath
robe, and at the imminent peril of dis
covery he stole into Mr.. Van Brunt's
dressing-room and returned with the
coveted cord encircling his small
waist. This finishing touch. he felt
sure, made him quite like the altar

his bed and drew out the tomato can

the way down the wide stairs.

REFlTTED OLYMPIC
SAILS FOR NEW YORK.

Southampton, April 2.-The man.
moth steamship Olympic, refitted and
reconstructed at a cost of more than
81 100000 with a view to making her
the safest vessel afioat, sailed today
for New York. The great steamship,
which still retains the honor of being
the largest vessel in the world, was
greeted with a roar of salutes from the
whistles of all the craft in the harbor
as she left her dock and moved ma
jestically into the channel.
Experts pronounced the reconstruc-
ton work on the Olympic to be one of
the wonders of modern engineering.
The original double bottom of the
vessel has been extended we'll above
the later line, so that now the big ship
has what may be called two complete
bulls, one within the other. AS addi-
tional safeguards she has been fitted
with a number of extra bulkheadsr
some of which extend to the decks
forty feet above the water line.
