and mysterious, had settled upon the
home.
In the library. the very last Of the
embers in the big fireplace were dying

chimney hung the boys stocking, fat
and bullying, with a great round
orange in the toe. Old Santa had
already been there. Over in the cor

and yellow and white candles in their
little tin holders standing straight up
on the branches like soldiers on pa
rade,
Presently there came q rustling on
one Of the branches and a tiny pure
white candle began to tremble vio-
lently, Then, ever so slowly. it began
to glow at the end and a tiny fame
appeared. Gradually, as one turns I'D
a lamp, but much more slowly and
steadily, the fame became brighter
and brighter. Soon 1t was burning

A great rUstling Of the tree and q

sweet voice. Behold! I am the

Harken, all, TO my words,
Upon you rests the blessed burden
of making the Tuletide in this home
a joyous one. You can make or mar

~ NE. time there grew giant oak of tall
! and stately form.
So deeply rooted, strong and firm, it feared
not any storm.
Quite a slender willow stood upon the
grassy plain.
The oak upon the Willow looked with insoIent
disdain
A wild tornado came one day from off
the torrid lands
Cprooied now the mighty oak. unframed the
willow stands.
oh. why is thisl" cried out the tree. that should
