The shadows of the mountains quiv-

lofty crSsts the wind came sweeping
down from the north. And on the
white angels, whose floating robes
seemed made Of silver spray and
gemmed with pearls.

The one with the silver wand rested on
the window sill outside the great castle
and looked within at the huge dining
table, which was laden with a banquet

rugs covered the polished foors, and
over all shone the dim light Of coiored

said the angel softly. Surely this
great man with wealth, fame, .e and
honors has life's most precious gift. He
is the leader OF armies. HIS bre6st is
covered with medals won on the field
of battle. his fields stretch for miles
and his name Is on an lips. His ribbon

So she hid the ribbon of honor under
her snowy wing and Iloated away in the
mist to the far-off clouds where the
ships of the spirits sail for the other
land.
The other angel went down into the
valley and peeped into an humle cot
tase IN which an old man sat by the
side Of sick beo. He was gray and

the bits Of leather on which he worked

With tender care the man fed the

So she took up unnoticed one Of the
slippers and foated away to join the
angel of the silver wand. Together
they winged their way for, miles far
off to the spirit land. And as they
stood before the gate they met the angel
of the New Year Just startInp on his
