 'Oh. please, have you lost any thing" asked Lily, shyly.
 "Yes, my dear,' the lady said, My little girl has lost her purse. and thinks she dropped 1t here-
 Lily held it out. "I struck my foot against it, as I was looking at the pretty things, and choosing what would buy for everyone. if I only had the money"
 The lady questioned her, and the whole story came out of the hard times. Dad out of work. and no Christi mas.

 ''Is MT. Hodge here yet?" asked Wallace, referring to the chime-ringer.

 Wallace sat and ed himself at the radiator for perhaps ten minutes. Then he rose saying. Well I'll run along now, Father. I'm warm enough"
 "An right. Son. See you in the morning."
 As Wallace made his way through the basement he passed the bottom of the tower. As he glanced up the great shaft he was struck by the idea that it would be interesting to go upsto the balcony some two hundred and fifty feet up and listen to the chimes from there. Then. too, he had never been up in the tower in snowstorm. It would be worth trying.
 MT. Hodge had taken the elevator up and Wallace had to climb the cir cular staircase. It was stiff work but he was young and didn't mind. Pant ing. he reached the landing from

 Christmas day is a busy one for -cooks so the day after is a fine time for juniors to lend a hand and give the head cook vacation.
 Turkey Ramikins are easy to make, tempting. and suited either for lunch con or dinner. Dice up two cupsful of turkey using meat from parts that are not easily carved at the table-wings, back and the like.

make anyone hear him.
 All the time it grew colder and cold CT. Though he had on a heavy over coat and stood on the leeward side of the tower, Wallace was now shivering and his teeth were chattering He knew that if he had to stay in that exposed position until morning he would be frozen to death.
 At least I can warm up a little now thought the boy, and he put down his bundle which he had carried un- der his arm all this while and went through some rapid exercises to start his blood circulating. Then he tramped back and forth on the balcony trying to think.
 Suddenly it occurred to him that if ne could get at the bells he might summon help by ringing them. He stopped and looked up at the belfry some twenty-five feet above his head. In the faint light that filtered up from the street lamps he could see the lat tice. like the shutters of a great. win dow blind, that enclosed the bells. The openings in the lattice were not large enough to let him through if he got up there. but perhaps he could reach through and strike one of the bells. But could he climb up there and if he could, would he be able to ring a bell loudly enough so there would be any chance of it's being heard?
 His last question was answered first "The candlestick!" he exclaimed and with stiff, numb fingers-for ralrea dy he was chilled through again-he tore the wrappings from the present he | had got for his mother If he could

SS& HERE can be no more conclusive G evidence of the possession of the EA finer Christian virtues and of ~kindliness of disposition than the apparent friendliness of birds and other wild things which Is so charity bestowed, and can be gained only by advances on the part of one who de- sires them strongly enough to go to the trouble of showing them that he is worthy of their confidence.
 There Is no surer way of stimu- lating friendliness in birds than by making provision for feeding them during the months when their naturai food supply is covered with snow and ice The one who builds and main tains a bird feeding device at this time will make his bow to his timid and conservative wild audience at the psychological moment.
 This food box may be made of any packing box not less than six inches deep and large enough to be made about fifteen inches on each side. For strength the top and bottom should be removed. cut at the correct angle and nailed diaGenaiiy from side to side. It will be seen that the box is of the nature of weather vane. that the fan tail keeps the corner of the box pointed into the wind so-the snow

get up to the belfry he could reach through the lattice and beat on a bell with the heavy candlestick-
 Now with renewed hope he ex- amined the wall of the tower. From the balcony to the belfry it was of brick, laid in design that left a series of shallow fluctuations an inch and a half or two inches deep. It was barely possible to climb up the face of the wall by thrusting fingers and toes into these fluctuations.
 He tried 1t on the Ieeward side. But his numb fingers slipped from the bricks when he had ascended but a few feet and he fell back on the bal cony. His strength was waning. If he was to succeed it must be quickly.
 He forced himself to dance and swing his arms to get his blood going again. Then. when his fingers felt more supple, he ran around to the windward side of the tower. It was colder there but the force of the gale would help to hold him against the bricks. Again he set himself to climb up the sheer wall.
 Inch by inch he fought his way up. A dozen times it seemed that he would slip off but each time he gripped his fingers harder on the bricks and stuck. Finally he thrust an arm through the lattice and clung there. Then he puI!ed the sixteen inch card'aetiol.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-12-20

Also he must get down before his Ifather locked the building and went home.
 The door would not yield. It was locked. Wallace. with a thrill of fear. realized that it must have a spring lock.
 In a sudden panic he kicked and beat at the door and shouted at the top of his voice. There was no an swer, though he shouted and kicked the door again and again. He was locked out on the balcony in the midst of a bowling blizzard!
 When his whirIing thoughts had grown little more steady Wallace realized that his predicament justified all his first, instinctive fear. MT. Hodge had finished the concert and had hurriedly descended in the ele- vator. Probably both he and Mr- Hartley were now on their way home. Nobody would know he was up til ere for his father would go home and to bed, thinking that his son was sound asleep in his own room.
 Wallace turned and peered over the balcony rail. Two hundred and fifty feet below him was the deserted Com mon. Even if somebody should pass sible to make him hear cry for help in that storm. Wallace's voice would be snatched away by the wind and lost in the blizzard. Besides the snow now grew thicker all the time. It was sdoubtfu1 if he could see a passer-by and certainly nobody could see him up there. He could not break down the door; he could not climb down the smooth outside walls: He could not

from his coat pocket with the other hand. thrust that through the lattice, too, and using it as a hammer he be- gan to beat upon the rim of bell. He could just reach it.
 Half supplied he c1ung there, beat ing, beating. until finally he knew that his strokes had grown so weak they were of no further use. He drew out his arm and the candlestick, slipping from his grasp, plunged out and down to the ground. He tried to climb down. Half way he slipped and fell. He struck the balcony rail, dropped inside it, and lay there unconscious.
 When he came to he was in bed in hospital room and his mother ana father were bending over him.
 Did anybody hear it?" was his first question.
 "Yes. Son. answered his father. quietly "SomeDody heard 1t and te1e- phoned to the Gazette office to find out about it. They had a reporter get in touch with me and I looked and found you weren't home. So we went to the tower as fast as we could"
 Wallace looked at his mother CT m afraid I spoiled your Christmas pres ent. Mother" he said weakly.
 There were tears in his mothers eyes. "You are the only present l need this Christmas. Wallace" she said

which a door opened on a balcony that ran around the square tower. Just above was the room from which the chime was rung. As Wallace reached the landing the clock began booming midnight. With the last stroke the chimes began. No time to speak to MT. Hodge now.
 Wallace opened the door and stepped out on the balcony. A gust of wind slammed the door shut be- hind him but he thought nothing of that. He walked around the balcony to the leeward side and stood gazing out upon the storm wrapped city. Above him the chime boomed out its message of peace and good will to men.
 The boy was fascinated by the sen sations that came to him. As the fine snow streamed past the tower in all sorts of fantastic forms 1t seemed as if it were the tower that was moving through the storm like an airship. Wallace had never experienced an eff feet like that before. The eeriness of it was intensified by the booming bells above him. which filled the air with day-dream in which he imagined him. self an aviator soaring through the blizzard above the city.
 He was brought to himself with a start by the sudden realization that the chimes had been silent for longer than the interval between tunes. Could Mir Hodge have finished the concert already?
 Wallace hurried to the door. He had meant to catch MT. Hodge and ride down in the elevator with him

 Guess there won't be anybody out to hear the chimes" muttered Wal lace Hartley. as with head bent against the driving snow. he hurried towards the city hall. It was the custom in Watertown to have a concert on the chimes in the tower of the city hall at midnight on Christmas Eve. When crowd would gather in the Common to listen to the music.
 Wallace crossed the snowy. deserted Common and slipped along the side of the city hall to a rear basement entrance. He meant to stop and get warm and have a word with his fath- CT, who was superintendent of the building and had to stay there until the chime-rfnger had finished the con- cert and gone. He entered, and pass ing through the dirnIy lit corridors reached his fathers office.
 Hello, Wallace" said MT. Hartley in surprise. What brings you here ?"
 Just stopped to get warm," replied Wallace. This bliZzard's going to be a terror"
