Father Martin, who had been reading
the story of the three wise men who
brought their gifts to the infant Jesus,
said to himself:
eff only tomorrow were the first
Christmas day and the Savior were

He arose and took from a shelf two
little shoes. "Here is what 1 would

smiling. "Does the Savior need my
poor shop and my shoes?"
But that night Father Martin had

of Jesus himself said to him: Martin,
you have wished to see me. Watch
the street tomorrow from morning un-
til evening, for l shall pass your way"
When he awoke the next morning,
Father Martin, convinced that what
he had dreamed would surely take
place, fastened to put his shop in

and then seated himself at the win

Two Prisoners.

Herman Spier had made his escape
with the letter. He ran through tor

arches into court yards. out again by
doorways set In the walls. twisted,
doubled like a rabbit. And all this
with no pursuit, save the pricking one
of terror.
But st last he halted, looked about,
perceived that only his own guilty
conscience accused him, and took
breath. He made his way to the house
in the shadow of the park until, an
letter now buttoned inside his coat,
and, finding the doors closed, lurked
in the shadow of the park until an
hour later, Black Humbert himself ap-
peared.
He eyed his creature with cold an

But here Herman was the one to
sheer. "Niburg!" he said. "You know
well enough that he will take no sub
stitute tonight, or any night. You
strike hard, my friend"
The concierge growled, and together
they entered the house across the
street.
In the absence of Humbert, his
niece, daughter of a milk seller near,
kept the bureau. answered the bell, and
after nine o'clock, when the doors were
bolted, admitted the various occupants
of the house and gave them the tiny
tapers with which to light themselves
upstairs. She was sewing and singing
softly when they entered.
"All right, girl. You may 60" said
Humbert.
"Good night to you BOTH" the girl
said, and gave Herman Spier a nod.
When she was gone, the concierge
locked the door behind her.
"And now" he said, ''for a look at
the treasure"
He rubbed his hands together as
Herman produced the letter. Heads
close, they examined it under the lamp.
Then they glanced at each other.
"A cipher" said the concierge
shortly. ut tells nothing.
"Codel" And struck the paper with
a hairy fist. Everything goes wrong.

But there was something about the
story of the letter itself that bore the
hall marks of truth.

for a pencil, and set to work. After

The story is going the rounds that
a Russian in the Richardton vicinity
worked slick game on some of his
neighbors. A group of eight Russians
met and decided that when the Stark
county school lands were leased, they
would allow only one of their number
to bid in same, and he, in turn, would
allow them to pay share of the cost
and take their pro rata share of the
lands. The scheme worked fine. He
obtained the lands desired without
competitive bidding from the others,
but after the leasing Of the lands he
told the other seven Russians to 20 to

conference, but the promoter sat tight,
and now the matter rests-at least for
