FORGET 1T.
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS.

The Christmas tree Is all alight be-
tween us and the trenches; beyond II
lies grevOus fight and suffering and
stenches; this side of 1t are all things
good, and little folks are singing, and
over field and stream and wood their
joyous tones are winging. SO let us
pull the curtain down on periscOpes
and dying, and spread our smiles all
over town, and cut out sobs and sigh
ing. The little folks know naught Of
war, and little folks are happy; they
have no notion what it's for nor why
the kings are scrappy; and we know
no more than they do of the Outland-
ish reason; so let us sing: "The skies
are blue, 1t Is the Christmas season."
So let us bring the turkey in and tote
In wood for mother. and polish up our
Christmas grin and try to love our
brother. The world is full of friend
ships yet, the world is filled with low
Ing. and love Outshines a coronet, and
sympathy beats showing. So let us
load the Christmas tree and let us
wear a pOsy and join the children In
their glee at ring-around-a-rOsy -

Danny's
Christmas Eve
By z. w. CERRTTSON

N THE narrow confines of the

with redoubled fury and whip
ped the snow cuttingly into
Danny Donovan's face as he
trudged along behind his sled,
shouting now and then to
urge his dogs to greater eff

marvelled. They evidently had just
been admitted from another room.
Beaming on them with maternal pride,
stood a woman with rosy cheeks and
coal black hair, telling them, no
doubt, Of the wonderful things that
would grow on that tree over night.
1t was Christmas eve; Danny had no
thought of that before. And. tomOr-
row would be the day Of "Peace on
earth, good will toward men," And
here was he. Danny Donovan. with
black murder In his heart. A feeling
Of deep shame came over him and he
lowered the hammer OF his revolver.
and returned 1t to its holster.
"By the saintsr' he muttered into
his beard; ''an' l ken near TO putin
an end to bit Of fun like that"
And now the children were sent
away to bed, and the task OF hanging
the presents on the magic tree began.
Unmindful Of the biting wind and
snow, Danny watched, and slowly O
feeling Of loneliness crept over him,
and with 1t longing hope that perhaps,
some day, he, too, In his own home
And why not2 over In the Fort Me-
Kenzie settlement was fair Rose

before the look in his own.
With last lingering look inside the
cabin. Danny made his way to his
team. There a new thought came to
him and he paused to ponder 1t. Did
he not owe these people somethingf
He had come with heart black as
sin, and he was leaving with a heart
light as air.
He fumbled beneath his pack, In the
bottom OF the sled, and drew out a

greasy, but II was filled with yellow
nuggets and dust. Danny had sew

had been with him In the North. He
made a loop In the string that fastened
the bag. and plodded back to the door
OF the cabin. He felt cautiously about

his offering upon II and went back to
his team. With subdued shouts he
reused the dogs, then turned his sled
around and made for the pass, the

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
BY PEARL c. MILLER.
" & &

The whole world is a Christmas tree,
And stars its many candles be.
The spirit Of Christmas should be
one of love, charity, sympathy and
hospitality. Christmas means the an
niversary of the birth of Christ, and
only the best impulses Of the human
heart should characterize the season
of rejoicing and giving.
Perhaps, when we are puzzled and
worried about our Christmas gifts, we
may not be wholly unselfish our
selves, or we may be striving to give
TO him that hath. If you are doubtful
about the appreciation your little gift
may receive try giving 1t to someone
more needy, and the doubt will quick
ly vanish. Oftentimes the gifts most
easily selected and bestowed express
the truest spirit of giving. Cease to
give when IL becomes task, for ii Is
Not what we give, but what we share.
For the gift without the giver Is bare.
Is there Santa Claus? The Ger
man named Krist Kindlein, Christ
child, finally became corrupted into
Kriss Kringle, being now Identified
with Santa Claus. Saint Nicholas, a
synonymous term, was Greek, who
died about 343 A. ID. He was con-
sidered a patron of the children and II
good genius of the gift season. Santa
Claus means the spirit of Christmas.
The custom of hanging up stock
ings on Christmas eve originated in
England and was brought to this
country by the Pilgrim Fathers.
Decorations and music are indispen-
sable for the Christmas season, and
these are within the reach of all. 1t
is an ancient belief that the mistletOe
contains medicinal properties and 1t
was supposed to have the power to
dlspel any evil spirits.
Since Christmas symbolizes the
birth of the Christ child what griev-
Gus custom II is to make the cOntrac-
ton Xmas stand for all that is so
good and beautiful. Surely we can
take time to write the word out fully
and portray picture of beauty and
dignity in cOmmemOratiOn of the holt

miles Is n long distance to
travel for the purpose Of killing a
man, but Danny did not consider
1t a hardship, for the man he was
tracking so mercllessly had killed Dan
ny's brother, Jim, up In the Forty Mile
Digglngs True, according to the tes-
timOny Of eye-wltnesses, Jim Donovan
had been the aggressor, and in killing
him, Lebonne, the big Canadian, had
acted only in self-defense. But Dan
ny cared not for that. In his blind
rage at the news that his brother had
been stricken down, his one thought
was for a fitting retaliation, In which
a sense of right and justice figured not
at all.
Lebonne had been acquitted at once
and had departed two months before
the news of the affair had reached
Danny's ears, consequently the track
ing of him had been no easy matter.
At little distance from the cabin
Danny halted his team and fed a
frozen fish to each Of his dogs to in
sure quiet on their part. Then he left
them and approached the cabin alone.
He crept stealthily to the uncurtainec
window and peered within. A man
sat beside n table. He was laughing
and talking with someone at the other
side Of the room. Danny scrutinized
him carefully to avoid making an error
But there was no mistaking him; he
answered to the description perfectly.
Danny drew his revolver from its
holster and cooked 1t, keeping well
back that the light streaming from the
window would not betray him. Then
he took careful aim at the broad
breast of the man within.
Impelled by curiosity, Danny
stepped across the bar of light to the
other side of the window. A sight
met his gaze that drew forth muir
muir Of surprise. In a corner Of the
room stood a Christmas tree, glitter
ing with crude, homemade ornaments
of tinsel, and alight with tiny candles
