LEGEND OF TIE YuLE LOG
Old Negro Tradition Of Its Origin as
Told In Virginia Every Christ
mas Eve.

While the family sit around the yule
log and sip their Christmas eggnog,
there is told in many Virginia homes
every Christmas eve 'the old negro
tradition OF the origin Of the yule
log.
In the early days one of the old dar-
kles would recite the story after the
fire was kindled and the lurid glare
OF the yule log lit up the darkest cor
ners of the room.
Then the old legend was told as fol-
lows:
One very cold Christmas eve, when
tho frosty wind howled ecross O woTlf
of snow. ,en old black man wan cit
ting in his little cabin on ? mountain
side. wishing and wishing that he had
fire to- warm him.
Suddenly he heard the cry OF little
child away out in the cold. The old
black man hobbled to the door and
gazed out across the Icy world Of
snow. The wind and the snow came
rushing In and the old man shivered
till his "onliest two teef" chartered
with cold. s.
). The plaintive cry Of a little child
came again across the snow. It went
straight to tho old manS heart and
he wished with all his power Of long.
ing that he might have strength to
60 out and fnd the unfortunate little
i,ne.
A third tina the waillng cry cs-:e,
iani then wonderful thing happened.
"A miRacG!cae nc-s-- Iiled the old
mans veins. His ismusclea became
strong and tense. his crutch fell back
into the. cabin and he stepped from
the threshold out into, the snow.
He hurried over the snow with an
activity he had not possessed since
boyhood, and by .anS by he came to a
little child In aIsnow bank. Z,
As the child's little form touched
him O great. new strength came to
him which seemed. to give him wings
to, speed back TO his little cabin. Z
He placed the child upon the bed
and tenderly drew the ragged Quilt
about 1t and then he. !0S ',ed to see II
there might be piece of furniture Of
which to make o fire to warm the little
one.
AT that very instant q great log
rolled across the threshold and into
the Fireplace. The little eIchild looked
at the log with eyesz like stars. which
sent CLEANS Of light. that kindled the
log with the most brilliant fire the
old man had ever seen. ..
The dingy little room was fllled with
.radiance and warmth, and az. the light
wrapped the. child he iaIghed and
laughed likes song ofithe heart. The
old man turned his eyes to where the
fire. burned and watched the flames
