HERE are Christmas bells
and bells.
The real Christmas bells
ring out only in the morn

other bells ring from morning until
night. After which they jangle through
ones dreams.
The Christmas doorbell is a great
institution. 1t is the busiest bell of
the lot. All day long the doorbell has
pressing engagements. When the
doorbell rings on Christmas day, every
body gives heed to its sweet sounds.
And everybody rushes to the front
door as If the house had caught on
fire, and that was the nearest exit.
The doorbell has everyone in the fam
lily hopping as if they were so many
trained ducks
There are two reasons why the
Christmas doorbell is a welcome Wis.
itor when it jars upon the ear. In the
first place, you know that no bills
are going to be presented by the caller
at the door. In the second place the
doorbell may announce the arrival of
package.
A sawed-off express wagon driver,
with chunky, holly-bound package
under his arm, can get more attention

BIRDS HOLIDAY DAINTlES
YeIIow-Leg Snipe Travels Some 5000
Miles for Christmas Dinner
Robins Like Holly Berries.

The yellow-leg snipe travels a mat
ter of 5000 miles to get his Christ
mas dinner. 1t is pretty nearly the
longest journey made annually by any
living creature, and the object Of 1t
seems to be to procure certain dam
ties in the way Of aquatic insects and
crustaceans appropriate for holiday
fare.
One might say, however, that the
most appropriate of Christmas din
ners is eaten by the robins which at
this holiday season feed largely upon
the berries of the holly-particularly
upon the berries of kind of holly
called the black alder, which are as
bitter as qufnine.
Another bird which has an interest
ing Christmas is the hooking bird.
He is a planter of the mistletoe ber-
ries and mistletoe berries contribute
largely to his Christmas dinner. Be-
ing particularly fond of them he incl
dentally, though without intention,
carries the seeds to tree branches
where they promptly fasten them
selves and sprout In this way the
parasitic plant is widely propagated
in Texas. which is the principal win
ter resort of the Knockers.
The canvasback duck breeds in the
far North, from Minnesota to the
Arctic circle, in the interior. But the
call of Christmas turns it southwark,
and it spends the holidays along the
southern Atlantic coast, from the
Chesapeake to Cuba. 1t feeds on vari-
Gus aquatic plants, but the piece de
resistance of it's Christmas dinners is
wild celery-a succulent, water veg
etable which gives to it's flesh flavor
highly appreciated by the epicure.
The wild Canada goose goes all the
way to Mexico in winter, spending
Christmas among the lakes in that
far southern latitude, where nutritious
grasses and water plants are plentiful.

DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS
When the Joy of Your Riddles
Brings Tender Memories of
Years Ago.

In these strenuous shopping days,
writes Louis James, have you caught
yourself remembering suddenly, in all
sorts of queer, unexpected places, all
sorts of queer, half forgotten things?
Have you remembered how these days
before Christmas are the wonderful
days in the life of the child, more
wonderful days, perhaps, than any
that are to come?
You know that yourself You can't
help recalling how time went by those
days before the great day. You re-
member how each day seemed some
how more wonderful than the one be-
fore, each day prelude of real joy
to that first marvellous moment of
Christmas morning, when. after a
night of little II any sleep, you scram-
bled up and stood breathless CD the
threshold of the room which had been
forbidden you all those interminable
hours that went before. -. J.

the family, she beats all records get

SYNOPSIS.

Cazalet, on the steamer Kaiser Fritz,
homeward bound from Australia, cries
out in his sleep that Henry Craven. who
ten years before had ruined his father
and himself, is dead, and finds that Hill
ton Toye, who shares the stateroom with
him, knows Craven and also Blanche
Macnair, a former neighbor and play
mate. When the daily papers come
aboard at Southampton Toye reads that
Craven has been murdered and calls
Cazalet's dream second sight. He thinks
of doing q little amateur detective work
on the case himself In the train to town
they discuss the murder. which was COM
mitted at Cazalet's old home. Toye hears
from Cazalet that Scruton. who had been
Cazalet's friend and the scapegoat for
Craven's dishonesty, has been released
from prison. CaZalet goes down the
river and meets Blanche. Toye also
comes to see her and tells Caza1et that
Scruton has been arrested, but as he
doesn't believe the old clerk is guilty he
is going to ferret out the murderer.
Cazalet and Blanche go to Cazalet's old
nome and meet Mr.. Drinkwater of Scot
land Yard. .Cazalet goes with Drinkwa-
Ter to the library where the murder was
committed, shows him secret passage
through 1t. In town Toye, talking with
Cazalet about the murder. suggests finger
prints on the weapon found in the secret
passage as means Of trapping the muir
derer and succeeds in securing a print of
Cazalet's hand. Toye traces Cazalet's
movements while a passenger on the
Kaiser Fritz. finds that he left the boat
before the murder and returned Just after
II. and warns him.
