weathercock Long In Use.

Wcathcrcocks seem to date from
early times According to Duncange,
the cock was originally devised as an
emblem Of clerical vigilance. Tho
large tail Of the cock was adapted to
turn with the wind.
Many churches have for vane the
emblem Of the saints to whom them
are dedicated. st. Peters. Cornhill,
London, Is surmounted with key,
st. Peter having the keys of heaven
and hell.
st. laurence has for vane grid
iron, and st. Laurence Mt Norwich has
the gridlron with the holy martyr ex-
tended upon the bars. A gilt ship in
full sail Is the vane upon st. Mildred's
church In the Poultry.
st. Michaels, Queenshithe, has a
ship, the hull Of which Will hold a
busliel Of grain, referring to the for
mer traffic in corn at the hithe.

Tho ombu Tree.

The Ombu tree on the South Ameri-
can pampas. says w. III. Hudson in
Far Away and Long Ago, Is very
singular tree, indeed, and being the
only representative OF tree vegetation
natural to the soil, on these level
plains, and having also many curious
supcrstltions connected with 1t, 1t Is n
romance In itself. 1t belongs to the
rare Phytolacca family, and has an i'm
mensc girth--forty or fifty feet I'm some
cases; at the same time the wood Is so
soft and spongy that 1t can be cut into
with a knife, and Is utterly unfit for
flrewcOa. for when cut it refuses to
dry, but simply rots away like ripe
watermelon.

MANY Holidays in December.

December, taking the world over, is
a month Of bank and public holidays.
No less than 20 OF the 81 days Of the
month are recognized somewhere as
occasions for church fetcs or cessa-
tion OF business In celebration Of To-.
cal or national events.
Christmas, Of course, Is more vide
ly observed as holiday than any 9th
err but even it is not recognized every
where. Non Christian peoples pay no
attention to 1t, and in countries where
the Greek Catholic church prevails,
the old style Julian calendar Is used,
so that, while Christmas is observed
as church festival 1t comes about
two weeks later than in countries that
use the Gregorian calendar.

early days Of his boyhood the hap
piest Of which were spent In the old
orchard Mt springtime, when the trees
were laden with the fragrant pink and
white blossoms. And always the lady
Of the cards seemed to be with him,
romping with the group Of children
who were his companions.
His usually disciplined mind revolt
ed from It's training many times
throughout the day, and the hour Of
closing found him poring over the mys-
terious pictures once again.
He finally glanced toward the win
dow and the evidence Of coming twl-
light swept away his dreams and re-
minded him OF things to be done be-
fore he could keep dinner engage
ment that night. He reluctantly arose,
replaced the cards in the envelopes
and laid them carefully away in the
drawer, then hurriedly left the office.
Throughout the evening he had Il
sense Of disappointment. 1t was as II
he had been very near Il pleasant dis
covery and had been suddenly drawn
back.
Before he left his hostess said: IT
had hoped to have you meet m artist
this evening Mr.. Graves. She Is an
unusually clever woman. At tic last
moment she was detained"
Andrew Graves frowned.
perhaps / am fortunate, Mrs. Bow
ers. Really, since my now homo Is In
process of building, I've beer ,tcred
,ll ,t,l
artists who want to do the decorations
for that American room OF mine. I've
taken to refusing to see any OF them.
I'll look up my own" and he turned
abruptly away.
AS his car was speeding honeward
there flashed into his mind an idea,
preposterous, perhaps, but insistent. 1t
connected the cards In the gray en-
velopes with the artist who had failed
to appear. He leaned forward, half
yielding to an impulse to go back and
demand her name from Mrs. Bowers.
Then he decided to go on home, secret
ly ashamed Of himself for allowing his
head TO be turned by pretty picture.
But the idea remained and kept first
place In his thoughts. with the result
that Saturday morning found him at
his desk full hour earlier than he
had been for years. Impatiently he
ran over his letters. No gray en-
velope was there He was chagrined.
To have gone so far out Of his usual
routine as to get down at that hour
and then be fooled He looked his
mail over again, but with the same
result.
The morning was full OF trouble for
all the force OF employees. Nothing
suited, and Tommy, the Office boy,
dropped his jaunty bearing whenever
he carried n card to his employer.
The tenth caller had been turned
away despite the urgency OF his er-
rand, TGmmy once more entered the
sanctum. Graves looked uD angrlly.

he was glancing.
he tore 1t open eagerly and drew
out card Oh which was water-color
sketch Of woman's head. The faint
est odor of apple blossoms clung to
the interesting trife.
Graves studied 1t intently. 1t was the

ginning Monday morning, one had ar
rived each day In the first pile OF mall
brought to his desk. When the first
one came he had been but slightly con-
cerned. The second made him curious,
and the third had aroused deep de-
sire to learn their source. The face
appealed to him, rouslng vaguely some
dormant and disconnected memories
of his youth.
Opening drawer in his desk, he
took out the ones he had received
earlier in the week. Spreading the
cards In a row, he made them the OBJ
jects Of his most attentive considera-
tion. The same face was sketched on
all, but each represented different
expression and pose. No word Of any
kind accompanied them.
He settled back In his chair and sat
In quiet thought for some moments.
The perfume rising to him recalled the

gray envelope the boy carried where
did you get that?" he demanded.
Lady outside, sir, sent 1t in"
"A lady Send her in at once"
lie opened the envelope the boy
handed him. The same face was on
the card 1t embossed. but somehow the
expression wa, almost triumphant.
AS he studied 1t the caller entered,
and he started to his feet. He stared,
but justifiably, for there was the lady
OF the cards, and the scent Of apple
blossoms was filling the room. She
was tall and slender, and wore gown
of silvcry gray. There was touch of
pink about It that matched the bloom
Of her checks.
"You have come" he said simply. 81

"Then the advertisement was sue

mirth sparkled in the brown eyes.
"The advertisement? Oh. the gray

said slowly, in undisguised admiration.

The lady In gray said nothing, but
her smile took him back to the days
Of his boyhood.

And In softened voice he described
his old home, the apple orchard and
the spring by the roadside. II do not
expect them to be absolutely true to
life rs 1t was then. But 1t was my
childhood home. Let your work be a
type. Do with them as you like.
Somehow I feel sure you can make

''Thank you, Mr.. Graves. shall not
disappoint YOU" And she was gone
before he realized that he did not
know her name or place Of residence.
The next month was interminably
long. There was no word from his
artist, nor could he learn one thing
about her. Mrs. Bowers, though be-
sieged with Enquiries, refused m an
swer.
At last, one day, another gray en-
velope came In the mail, and the hands
that opened 1t trelnbled in their eager
ness. Another card was in 1t, this time
Of little girl Of fourteen, with big
brown eyes and waving hair. With
throb he recognized her as the little
playmate Of his early days who had
always been with him In the orchard.
Just beneath the picture was writ

Exactly thirty minutes later Andrew
Graves was ringing the bell at II Grey
terrace. No one was In the room
against one wall were half dozen
daintily executed sketches Of his old
farm home. clear and true as the hand
Of mortal could make.
Hun9rily he gazed ut them, and
then turned to find the artist at his
side. Without word he took her In
his arms and kissed her. She made
no effort to release herself.
"Maris, I know you now! My little
girl sweetheart! My sweetheart for
.ever Will you come to me when the
apple blossoms are here again?"
And she said that she would.
