After defying for six hours efforts of a
score of policemen and number OF
residents OF Govans. a suburb, to take
him, George c. GantZ, thirty-two years
old, who in fit of insanity yesterday
morning shot his physician, Dr. George

when PatroIman Bell came into the
room GantZ quickly was overpowered
During the siege relatives and friends

paused and then it seemed as if a lit
tie heap of snow arose right in front
of it.
In that very instant Reddy knew
that he had been fooled. He knew that
that little black spot was the black tir
of Shadows tail. and that what had
seemed like a little heap of snow rising
up was Shadow himself in his winter
coat of pure white.
Just then Shadow saw Reddy and his
little eyes grew red with hate. He
arched his back and spat angrily. He
has no love for Reddy Fox and Reddy
has no love for him. An ugly CLEAN
crept into Reddy's yellow eyes and he
drew back his lips in a snarl
This is the time ] pay you up foi

he belonged TO me-" said he. and sprane
at Shadow. You're thief,
Now. there is no one who can move
more quickly than Shadow the Weasel
He can move so quickly that it is hard
for the eye to follow him. When Reddy
landed il was where Shadow had been
not where he was. He was two jumps
off to one side, splitting and snariins
his eyes redder than ever.

Mouse" he snapped. But | will now

spite you. He doesn't belong to you
anyway. I've got just as much right to
him as you have ] haven't had so much

don't often get away. You're a nice one
to be calling me a thief, you relocated

Shadow the Weasel Is Falsely
Accused.

You know what it is to be accused,
II is to have some enc tell you that you
have done or haven't done something.
To be accused falsely is to be told such a
thing when it isn't true It happens over
and over and over again and it hurts
and is very hard to bear. Even those
who seem to enjoy doing bad or mean
things never like to be charged with
having done something which they haven't
done.
Now Shadow the Weasel is hated by all
his neighbors, as everybody knows, and
you wouldn't suppose that he would care
a fiirt OF his black-tipped tail if people
did say things about him which are not
I so. But Shadow is not so unlike other
people after all he doesn't like to be
| accused of doing things which he hasn't
done. If he should get into Farmer
Browns henyard and kill a chicken he
wouldn't feel badly at all over what he
had done. But if some one else should
kill a chicken there and then he should
be accused of having done il he would
fly into a terrible rage. You see, that
would be injustice, and injustice is one
of the hardest things in all the world TO
bear patiently.
Shadow had taken it into his head TO
do a little hunting down along the edge
of Farmer Browns corntield. He hadn't
been down there for long time, and it
| find it worth his while to hunt til, ough
the tangie of bushes along the fence. So
ne had followed along the old stone wall
and then down along the fence beside the
lane that led to the cornfield Bushes and
weeds grow along the fence and more than
/ once in the summer had Shadow surprised
little feathered folk hiding there. Now the
bushes We're bare and the stalks of the
weeds rose brown and dead above the
snow, but they still made a hiding place
of kind. and SO Shadow kept among
them. He did it for two reasons In the
first place he hoped he might find Peter
Rabbit there, for he knew Peter is very
fond of these old fence rows. In the sec
ond place he wanted to keep out of sight
himself You will find that all doors OF
evil deeds Try to keen out of sight
| even when there is nothing to fear.
II was a moonlight night and Reddy
| Fox had decided to have one more Loo,
FOR Danny Meadow Mouse along the edge
| OF that cornfield. You see it was verv
hard work for Reddy to believe that
Danny had disappeared for good Sud
/ denly Reddy saw something moving
among the bushes. He crouched down
in the snow and held his breath There
II was again, just little dark spot on
the snow. Could it be Danny? 1t was
coming toward him and in a minute he
would know.
| Nearer and nearer came that little
| dark spot and Reddy crouched fatter
| than ever in the snow. Just before IL

Christ and His Church.

From Johns vision on Patmos. with
one exception-the Christmas lesson that
predicted the coming of the Christ.
whose birth during this season has
filed the world with joy-all the other
lessons were selected by the interna-
tional committee. These lessons EN-
phasized truths that Paul had pre-
yiously taught John was strength
ened, as all Christians are in times OF
trouble. by the confidence that Christ
still lives and is interested in His peo-
pie. In the message given to the
apostle in his Imprisonment for the
churches at Ephesus. Smyrna and Per
gamos, which formed one of the studies.
there was call for loyalty from each
one of the churches in difficult age.
1t is still the call of Christ to His fol-
lowers. He demands that creed be eX-
pressed in conduct or risk the danger
of dlsing His presence. Victory is
promised the faithful who stand fast in
the hour of trial. The greatest danger
faced by modern churches is that. like
the church at Pergamos, they will al
low the spirit of the world to deter
mine their attitude upon the questions
of the hour instead of loyalty to Christ.
The picture of the coming Christ and
the prospects open to all to be with
Him in the holy city are expressed again
in the reading lesson for this review.
which unites the thought of Christ's
coming TO humanity and mans coming
to Christ Christmas teaches annually
how Christ came TO men to call men to
God and His Church. The message of
the gospel first spoken by Christ to
men was Come" 1t is still the entreaty
for men to come to Him. so that they
can say to others Come and then
open up their windows toward heaven
and join with the watching. waiting
world in their desire for Christ to come
again by praying Even so. come, Lord
Jesus" The church that has its face
turned toward the glorious reappear-
ance of the absent Lord must have His
spirit toward humanity and open wide
its doors and heart to care for the need
at this hour throughout the world.
whose sad condition emphasizes the
worlds need for Christ to come again.

Happy new year, This is the one

Happy New Year is such an apt ex-

idea that he is entering a new chap

Strictly speaking. of course. there is
no new year. for year is but a unit
of time. and it is not new simply be-
