EXCUSE FOR cEAsINc WORK

The Russian working people have
always seized upon Christmas as an
excuse for ceasing all work for some
what lengthy period--sometimes for a
month. Before the recent revolution
"kolenda" was the celebration on
Christmas eve. when the peasants
gathered about the houses of the no
bles, sang carols and scrambled for the
coins tossed to them from the win
dows. Then came great masquerade,
when peasants of all ages dressed
themselves to represent animals, the
idea being TO perpetuate the memory
of the lowliness of the Saviours birth
In the stable.

life had been full of anxiety and strug-
gle. There was a mortgage on the old
homestead, and at one time 1t seemed
a foreclosure could not be avoided.
Then in some way he secured the mon
ey to pay it of, and fortunately it
was clear of encumbrance when he
died. That was just a month after
Eunice married Randall Marsh.
Her heart warmed as she thought
of the loyal, whole-ssuled man who
had come into her life at q critical
time. 1t had been generally supposed
that Randall had some little means,
for he was industrious and thrifty. but
when Mr.. Ralston died Randall stepped
into his place, practical, hard working
and self-sacrificing.
The tears fell as Eunice reached the
storeroom, and lifted the top of the
fancy box she had herself covered in
which her father had been accustomed
to store his extra clothing. Randall
himself had made the receptacle, and
together they had given II to Mr.. Raj
stOn on his last birthday. Eunice re-
moved some articles OF apparel tender
ly and with care, placed them on a
chair, and discovered some handker-
chiefs and three pairs Of stockings
rolled up neatly. She took the top pair,
undid II and with satisfaction noted as
it unrolled that ii was new and whole.
''Why, what can this bep' she ut
tered, as an envelope fell from the re-
leased folds. Her wonderment in
creased as she picked 1t up and found
it unsealed and inside a written page
and a peculiar looking key. Then
with staring eyes, GREATNESS, stirred to
the depths of her soul, sne read:
"After am gone see that this letter
and key are given to Randall Marsh.
It has been a secret he made me prom
Use never to divulge, that he gave me
money to pay off the mortgage. Poor,
noble hearted fellow he had saved the
$1,000 to build little home, and gave
it feely to benefit us all. Month by
month l have saved what I could, and
have placed the money In safety de-
post box in the City bank, where there
is nearly the amount he gave me-"
Eunice with difficulty suppressed a
great cry of joy. She could scarcely
