If the night-did hold the menace he

threatened-it would undoubtedly de-
velop IN or near the three-gabIed
cabin. AS he drew near the place his
mastery of woodcraft showed in his
approach. The bushes were not al
lowed to give up a sound.
A light shone through the front win
dows of the main room of the cabin.
He wondered at this. 1t made him
uneasy, for the evening was gone and
the ripe night come. Not many can
dies were alight at that hour in the
FlatwoodS. He sank back under the
bushes and crawled nearer. The mus
lin curtains were drawn, but no
shadows crossed them. The stiffness
within vaguely disquieted him. He
was searching for a way TO crawl
little nearer. when the low tones of
the cello broke across the silence; and
he knew the girl was keeping her lone
~ vigil beside the stricken old man.
Then came the voice from a throat
the gods had kissed. Each tone found
a kindred sound in the cello and
coaxed it forth TO flutter out upon the
listening night in Iustrous witchery
that somehow brought TO the fancy Of
the listener under the bushes a pic

So they "pretended~ and 50 they
went back very happily from their
Christmas shopping trip.
Once again she took them, on the
day before Christmas 1t was hard
getting through the crowds, but it was
worth every effort.
In one or the shops a gayIy dressed
clown led the children in a proces-
sion. Once in a while he turned and
winked at them as though TO say:
ave know what fun all this is.
don't We? We're in the secret of the
fun that children can have ar Christ

And then the clown beat upon his
drum and the children all marched
stiffly behind.
When a magnificent Santa Claus
asked the children TO sing with him
and the voices OF the hospital children
sang out with the rest Gertrude Hard
Ing felt herself swelling with pride.
Later when Santa Claus perceived
that one of the hospital children had
an unusually lovely voice he asked
him to sing alone.
And there in the shop he sang. sang
with the thrill of happiness that
bird sings with when first he feels the
warmth and sweet fragrance Of the
spring.
He had never been asked to sing be-
fore like this-in a big shop where
people were and where people listened
to him, not because he was being Wis
tied In a hospital and must do his part
to entertain the visitors, but because
somehow or other they liked his voice.
1t rang out true and strong. He
shifted the erutch which he had never
been without and which he would new
er be without to the end of his days.
and then he was asked to sing an en-
core.
His face was flushed with the pleas
ure of doing something whicA was
liked In this big outside world.
He looked at Santa Claus and
beamed.
He had already sung a popular song
which he had learned from the squeak
ing talking machine which someone !
had given the hospital when it was no |

That glorious song of old

Gertrude Harding had felt a lump
in her throat and had smiled with
eyes that were misty.
So the angels did bend near the
earth-even in these days-and even
over hospitals where crippled and I'll

Of the great life which went on beyond
the ward.
And for every little child who had
TO stay in the hospital. Gertrude Hard
ing had brought a small present, only
a triffing one, but a remembrance from
the great world
Then the hospital rules which had
been lifted for few minutes after
the ones who had been out SO late had
come back, were in order again. and
there was silence In the ward. and
soon there would come sleep.
When she got home that evening,
tired but very, very happy. she said
to herself:

London, Jan. 9.-The people of
Great Britain look forward to a new
year full of financial and political diff
ficulties but with greater optimism
than they would have thought pos.
sible a few months ago.
A new world fit for heroes to live
in" which was an ideal of the war,
has not yet been fully attained at
home and international problems that
brought on the war still are hanging
over the head of the nation. Yet the
British people are trying to face the
future in an invincible faith in the
nations ability to conquer all her
troubles.
The most cheerful optimist of all
is Premier Lloyd George. Under the
leadership of his unflagging faith
that everything will work out for the
best, the clouds of dependency, pic
tured by the newspapers as thickest
when the chancellor of the ~excheque1

PEOPLE Or Great britain LOOKING
TO new YEAR WITH OPTIMISM

Britons hope will continue. These
give ground for prediction by optim-
lists that Great Britain will return to
normal conditions sooner than other
great European countries which en-
gagged in the war.
Manufacturers in many lines have
business booked far ahead. The cot
ton trade, M of the basic British in
dustries, is said to have all the orders
it can fill for the next five years.
Shipbuilders say they are in the
same happy condition. They have
yet to be convinced that America will
be able to take away the former Brit
ish supremacy in the carrying trade.
They base their confidence on the be-
lief that while the British are a sea-
faring race, the Americans are not.
Confidence Nc. Iron Clad.
Apparently they believe that Am
erican ships built in the war are de-
stined to be bought eventually by dis
tinctly maritime nations. Their con-
fidence, however, is not iron-clad.
Lord Inchcape told the shareholders
of n Great Britain steamship COM
pany that, if the American govern
ment turhed over its ships to private
owners, Great Britain need not be
afraid, but if the American people
were to be taxed to build up their
mercantile marine, the outlook for the
shipping industry in these islands was
anything but rosy.
British bankers and merchants look
forward to a great increase of bust
ness with South American countries
in 1920. They expect to hold their
pre-war customers and to gain many
that Germany lost. They profess to
discount the prospect that the United
States will acquire control of the
South American field.
Many nations are anxious to buy
from Great Britain. How some OF
them can pay is a problem. The de-
cline in exchange rates had a depress-
ing effect on American trade but ex.
change with France, Italy and small
er markets is favorable to Great Bri.
tain.
National Debt Appears Appalling
Against these reasons for business
confidence stand two handicaps in the
form of financial and labor condi-
tions. The national debt appears ap-
palling to the British public but 3D.
timists argue that it is smaller than
was the debt after the Napoleonic
wars, measured by the country's po-
tential producing power.
The question of clearing the decks
by some form of a capital levy is still
at the front and may be one Of the
burning political questions of the new
year.
The naturalization of mines and
railways is another British problem
and with it are linked questions of
hours and wages which confront all
industries alike and which England
shares with America. 1t has been
said that Great Britain's recovery
after the Napoleonic vars was pos.
sible through underpaid labor but the
British employers do not expect this
to be among the assets of the future
On the contrary, many industrial
leaders say British industry is facing
