their minds very quickly and then
they began to say. "Ah." and "Oh,"

"Well." said their daddy, ''let us
sit down and look at all our presents"
They sat down on the floor. And
each one took stocking which had
been hanging in front of the mantel
piece. Every stocking was well filed.
And each stocking stuck out quecrly
SO that no one could guess what was
in 1t.
What guessing match there was
before they emptied the stockings
just to keep the surprise little long
er, for they had an idea that Santa
Claus wanted them to be as surprised
as possible. And when they did guess
what was in some of the stockings It
was such funi
After the stockings had been looked
at and the oranges and apples had
rolled out Of the toes, the presents
were taken from the tree.
The candy canes and candy animals
and the decorations were kept on, for
the candy would be eaten later on and
the decorations would be kept through
the Christmas season.
There were many presents around

knew that they weren't really dream

Everything about 1t was real and
their presents were real and they

feel hungry, for they hadn't waited

So the messenger told about Baldur's
dream and Woden's visit to the land
Of night and the plan to- save Baldur.
Comet Promiser' said the messen-
ger. "All the world Is promising"
Il will not PROMISE" said the mistle-

But who cared? What could any

harm Baldur? His refusal was for

the fact that all the world had prom

And the rejoicing was great. And
when the rejoicing was at its height
the gods, just for a lark, began to
throw things at Baldur, knowing moth
ing could hurt him. What fun they did
have! One would throw a rock, an.
other spear, another q bali of fire
and two or three getting together
would hurl whole tree trunk; but
as soon as anything drew near him,
it leaped to one side or the other
and refused to strike him. Now
wasn't that wonderful?
One day, as the young gods were
shouting over the way they COULDN'T
hit him, an old woman, seeing Frigga
at her spinning wheel, asked what the
laughter and noise were about.
"Oh." answered Frigga, proudly
"the gods are amusing themselves try

custom among the gods. Then came
Mamma, his wife, to see him for the

they lay upon the great ship as It

FROM him courageOusly-old John
with q stern grip of calloused, toll
worn hands, and Ma Barker with tears
steadfastly hidden behind her faded,
loving eyes. He was their all and
they gave him.
In the anxious months that followed
tue old folks life held the same hard
routine as ever on the farm. Old
John drove to town oftener than usual
sometimes even twice q week-to
see II any letters had come from mys-
FERROUS, sinister places In France, and
he and mother would pore over the
few that did arrive in the proud
knowledge that their Henry was a
good" boy and was doing his duty.
They prayed each night that the Lord
would keep him safe to come back
to them and to keep him from tempta-
ton while away from their care.
Then one day, like a thunderbolt
out Of q clear sky, came a terrible
letter from France, which said: II
have found the sweetest little girl
In all the world, and I'm bringing her
home with me as a Christmas pres
ent to you. The regiment Is now at
Brest for embarkation and we'll sure

eyes and always wanting to be kissed.
Her name Is Angelique. OF
course she can't speak anything but
French. but, dear mother and dad,
just know that you'll soon learn to
love her as much as do"
The old folks were stricken with
CONSERVATION. Their Henry bringing

wouldn't understand their simple, old
fashioned ways. and to whom they
never could reconcile themselves
Such one-accustomed to the
wicked frivolities of Paris-never
would fit in on the farm, however
modest or mice" she might be. More
likely she would despise 1t. and them
and take their boy away to live in
some big city-leave them lonely In
the Old age that was now upon them
The old folks bowed their grayed
heads beneath the blow, nearly heart
broken, although they tried bravely ia

from each other.
