ners.
We tested and laughed and drank
cider and reviewed the years history
and ate as only they may eat who have
big bones and muscles and the vitality
of oxen. / never taste the flavor Of
sage and currant jelly or hear a hearty
laugh without thinking of those holt
dav dinners in the old log house on
RattlerOad.
That Christmas brought me nothing
better than those words, the memory
of which is one of the tallest towers in
that long avenue of my past down
which l have been looking these many
days. About all you can do for boy,
worth while, is to give him something
good to remember.
The day had turned dark. The tenn
perature had risen and the air was
dank and chilly The men began to
hitch up their horses.
So, one by one, the sleighloads left
US with CHEEKY gOOd-bys and grind
ing of runners and jingling Of bells.
When the last had gone Uncle Pea
body and went into the house. Aunt
Deel sat by the stove, old Kate by the
window looking out at the falling dusk.
How still the house seemed!
There's one thing I forgot" / said
as proudly took out of my wallet the
six one-d0llar bills which had earned
by working Saturdays and handed
three of them to my aunt and three to
my uncle, saying:
THAT is my Christmas present to
you. earned it myself"
1 remember so well their astonish-
ment and the trembling of their hands
and the look Of their faces.
Its grand-aycs! :" Aunt Deei said
in low tone.
She rose in a moment and beckoned
to me and my uncle. We followed her
through the open door to the other
room.
"Pn tell We what Ed do" she whis-
pered. I'D give EN- to OF Kate
ayes! She's goin' to stay with US till
LOIDOETOW.
Good idee !" said Uncle Peabody.
So I took the money out of their
hands and went in and gave it to the
Silent Woman.
That's your present from me-" L
said.
How can | forget how she held my
arm against her with that loving, "a
miIfar, rocking motion of q woman
who is soothing a baby at her breast
and kissed my coat sleeve? she re-
leased my arm and, turning to the win
dow. leaned her head upon its sill ana
shook with sObS. The dusk had thick
ened. As / returned to my seat by the
stove / could dimly see her form
against the light of the window we
sat in silence for a little while.
Then Uncle Peabody rose and got
candle and lighted it at the hearth
held the lantern while Uncle Pea
body fed the sheep and the two cows
and milked-a slight chore these win
ter days.

Feel of it. It's for a suit O. clothes.
Come all the way from Burlington.
Now get-ap there. You've got your
load"
l moved out of the way In hurri-
cane of merriment. 1t was his one
great day of pride and vanity. He did
not try to conceal them.
The other presents floated for mo-
ment In this irresistible tide of laugh
ing good will and found their owners.
have never forgotten how Uncle ia
be- chased Aunt Minerva around the
house with wooden snake cunnlngly
carved and colored. observed there
were many things on the tree which
had not been taken down when we
younger ones gathered up our wealth
and repaired to Aunt Deel's room to
feast our eyes upon it and compare
our good fortune.
The women and the big girls rolled
up their sleeves and went to work with
Aunt Deel preparing the dinner The
great turkey and the chicken pie were
made ready and put in the oven and
the potatoes and the onions and the
winter squash were soon boiling In
their pots on the stovetOp. Mean
while the children were playing in my
aunts bedroom and Uncle Hiram and
Uncle Jabez were pulling sticks in
corner while the other men sat tipped
against the wall watching and making
playful comments--all save my Uncle
Peabody, who was trying to touch his
head to the floor and then straighten
UP with the aid of the br0OmstiCk.
In the midst of it Aunt Deel opened
the front door and old Kate, the Silent
Woman, entered. To my snrprise, she
wore decent-loOking dress of gray
homespun cloth and white cloud
looped over her head and ears and tied
around her neck and good pair OF
boots.
Merry Christmas p we all shouted.
She smiled and nodded her head and
sat down in the chair which Uncle Pea
body had placed for her at the stove
side. Aunt Deel took the cloud of
her head while Kate drew her mittens
newly knitted of the best yarn. Then
my aunt brought some stockings and
shawl from the tree and laid them, on
the lap of old Kate. What q silence
fell upon US as we saw tears Coursing
down the cheeks of this lonely old
woman Of the countrysde-tears OF
joy, doubtless, for God knows how long
1t had been since the poor, abandoned
soul had seen a merry Christmas and
shared it's kindness. / did not fail to
observe how clean her face and hands
looked She was greatly changed.
She took my hand as l went to her
side and tenderly caressed it. A gen.
tier smile came to her face than ever
l had seen upon 1T. The old stern look
returned for a moment as she held one
finger alOfs in q gesture which only /
and my Aunt Deel understood. We
knew it signalized peril and a mys-
terry. That / should have to meet it,
somewhere up the hidden pathway, /
had no doubt whatever
Dinners ready!'' exclaimed the
cheerful vo5ee of Auut Deel.
Then what a stirring of chairs and
feet as we sat down at the table. Old
Kate sat By the side of my aunt and

CHAPTER XII.
The Spirit of Michael Henry and
Others.

At the examination of Amos Grim
shaw my knowledge was committed to
the records and ceased to be a source
of danger to me. Grimshaw came to
the village that day. On my way 70
the courtroom saw him walking
slowly, with bent head as | had seen
him before, followed by old Kate. She
carried her staff in her left hand while
the fOrefnger of her right hand was
pointing him out. Silent as a ghost
and as unheeded-one would say-she
followed his steps.
I observed that old Kate sat on
front seat with her hand to her ear
and Grimshaw beside his lawyer at
big table and that when she looked at
him her lips moved In a strange I'M
uttered whisper of her spirit. Her
face filed with joy as one damning
detail after another came out in the
evidence.
The facts hereinbefore alleged, and
others, were proved, for the tracks fit
ted the shoes of Amos. The young
man was held and presently indicted.
The time of his trial was not deter
mined.
wrote a good hand those days and
the leading merchant of the village
engaged me to post his books every
Saturday at ten cents an hour. Thence
forward until Christmas l gave my
free days to that task. l estimated
the sum that should earn and
planned to divide it in equal parts and
proudly present it TO my aunt AND
uncle on Christmas day.
One Saturday while 1 was at work
on the big ledger of the merchant
ran upon this item:

The secret Of the speed and power
of the Moline Universal lies in its
perfected overhead-valve engine and
tWo-wheel construction. The engine
develops 18 horsepower at the belt,
and 9 at the drawbar, every ounce of
which is available for pull. There
are no dead wheels to drag along
that only carry weight and steer.
For plowing in extremely soft
ground, the Moline Universal is
equipped with a differential lock that
enables the two drive wheels to be
locked together, doubling their pull
ing power.
When plowing the land wheel is
raised so that the tractor is level.
The wheel is very easily and quickly
raised or lowered.
The light weight of the Moline
Universal, $3.50 pounds, and its high
clearance, 29H inches, make it adapt
ed for all other field work, besides
plowing. With it one man can plant
40 acres a day, cultivate 20 acres a
day harvest 25 acres a day, or do
any other work with equal speed. 1t
IS the ideal tractor for any sized
farm, practically eliminating horses
and solving the farm help problem.
Call and let us shOw your this re-
aarkGbEe machine.
