to light in Aunt Jane, a party of
stanch comrades had been assembled,
a steamer engaged to meet them at

With this lyrical outburst Aunt

One month later was climbing out

and imposing on the low green height
above the old Spanish city of Pan

heart, the fear that Aunt Jane and
her band of treasure-seekers had al
ready departed on their quest.

plunged into the cool dimness Of the

What if every man who goes into

Incidentally. l expect this business OF

Do you think that men are incapa-
bic of responding to any such motive
as that: How, then, do you account
for the martyrdom Of history? How
do you account for the men who have
given their lives to the pursuit of
truth? Or for the women who have
given their lives to the dissemination
of knowledge? How do you account
for the worlds scientists and for its
school teachers? And the men who
made rendezvous with death at Bel
leau wood and the Argonne forest
how do you account for them?
There is Il divinity in human hearts

powerful appeal. Why not try the ex-
pertinent of appealing to the nober

of profit has tragically failed. Why

Yes, undoubtedly. For the removal of
disease, better scientific Instruments
are needed For the removal of GER
tain domestic difficulties. better hous-
ing accommodations are needed. For
the removal of Industrial friction, a
better economic system is needed For
the removal of international strife. a
new world organization is needed. A
world that has been organized for war
must be organized for peace. For the
rebuilding of the world better instru-
ments are needed. But what is su-
premely needed is a better spirit! If
only you and l and all our neighbors
would persistently cultivate the Christ
mas spirit. our children's children
would live in far better world. For
then it would be only question of
time until we should discover the in
struments needed for the fashioning
of fairer civilization, and we would
be willing to use these Instruments as
soon as they could be developed.
What pity, then, if Christmas this

at the end and reading backward
Aunt James letters are usually most
intelligible that way-you managed to
niece together some explanation of
this Miss Higglesby-Browne and her
place in the scheme of things. 1t was
through Miss Browne, whom she had
met ut lecture upon Soul-Develop-
ment, that Aunt Jane had come TO
realize her claims as an Individual
upon the Cosmos, also to discover that
she was by nature a woman OF al
fairs with a talent for directing large
enterprises, although adverse intu-
ences had hitherto kept her from rec
ogniZing her powers. There was a
dark significance in these adverse In
fluences," though whether they meant
me or the family lawyer l was not sure.
Miss Hlgglesby-Browne. however.
had assisted Aunt Jane to find herself,
and as a consequence Aunt Jane, for
the comparatively trifling outlay need
full to finance the Harding-Browne ex-
pedition, would shortly be the richer
by one-fourth of vast treasure of
Spanish doubloons. The knowledge of
tnlS nOaru was MISS hlESitSUS-
Brownies alone. 1t had been revealed
to her by dying sailor in London
hospital, whittier she had gone on
mission of kindness-you gathered
that Miss Browne was precisely the
sort to take advantage when people
We're helpless and unable to fly from
her. Why the dying sailor chose to
make Miss Browne the repository of
his secret, don't know-this still re
mains for me the unsolved mystery.
But when the sailor closed his eyes
the secret and the map-Of course
there was Il map-had become Miss
Higglesby-B Brownies.
Miss Browne now had clear before
her the road to fortune, but unfortu-
nately it led across the sea and quite
out of the route of steamer travel.
Capital in excess of Miss Brownies re-
sources was required. London prov
ing cold before its great opportunity,
Miss Browne had shaken off its dust
and come to New York, where mys-
teriously potent influence had guided

We need to perpetuate the Christ
mas spirit in our homes.
II is Il solemn moment when two
human lives are united for better. for
worse, for richer, for poorer, in sick
ness and in health, till death do them
part. As Jane Welch Carlyle once
said, "If ever one is TO pray. if ever
one is to feel grave, If ever one is to
shrink from vain show and babble. it
is just on the occasion when two hu-
man beings bind themselves together
till death do them part"
There is nothing that more nearly
resembles the heaven of our dreams
than does a happy home. Is there any
thing that so surely suggests the hell
of our secret dread as does an un-
happy home?
What is needed to build a home ?
Money is needed. but how much more
than money! Money can build a
house-a wonderful and wonderfully
furnished house. Only love can build
a home.

scious OF the reality and glory OF
spiritual world
Christmas is the time when we are
conscious of an unusual desire to be
kind. one day every year the world
suddenly becomes different. Physical
iy speaking. it is the same world. The
sky is the same. The streets are the
same. The houses-barring IL touch
of holly here and there-are the same.
But you and l and our ueighbors are
different. We are more just in our
judgments. more thoughtful in our at
tention, more unselfish, more kind.
1t is probably true that these sea-
sons of the soul, however leeting,
leave their mark. We are, perhaps, Il
bit more patriotic than we would be
were it not for the annual observance
of Memorial day; bit more con-
sciously grateful than we would be
were it not for the annual observance
of Thanksgiving day; bit more re-
iigious than we would be were it not
for the recognition of Lent and the
observance of Easter day. And one
would like to believe that We are a
bit more kind than we would be were
it not for the observance of Christ
mas.
The very approach Of Christmas has
certain noticeable psychological ef-
fects. In 1914 it resulted in a tenn
porary cessation of hostilities on that
first war Christmas the booming guns
gave way TO Christmas carols, sung in
three languages. as British and French
and German soldiers fraternized be
tween the lines. In 1918, as the day
drew near which would commemorate
the birth of the Prince Of Peace, a
war-weary world dared to hope that
foundations would be laid for endur-
ing peace The heart of the world is
wrung by the suffering of China, the
tragedy of Armenia, and the pltiful
pleas of the starving children of CEN
trail Europe. Is there any man any
where. not a degenerate, who is not
conscious of desire TO diminish by
ever so little the worlds distress?

TREASURE ISLAND.

Well. here's a new kind of
Treasure I.land"-a kind that
Stevenson himse would
chuckle over, could he come
back to read it. And by a wo-
man, too! So, as you may easily
imagine, it's different from the
rank and file of the many
stories about treasure islands.
Just the. same, it's a real
treasure island story-an unin-
habited island, adventurers who
have adventures, myst cry,
treaehcry, violence and Spanish
doubloons. And this time, for
good measure, love and ro-
nance and humor are thrown
in.
The author, Camilla Kenyon.
was born in San Francisco, with
a legend of buccaneer anees-
tor in the family. She says she
sometimes thinks the old rover's
soul may have got by mistake
into her earthly frame. Any
way, she always has dotted on
sea tales of adventure-and
now she has written one of her
own that's better reading than
most of those she has read.
Yes; it's sure different-the
red-heeded heroine tells the
story herself! An interesting

We need to perpetuate the Christ
mas spirit in industry.
For generations, now, the motive of
profit has been the motive appealed
to both in the case Of men who had
money to invest, and In the case of
men who had strength or skill to in
vest, in the industries of the world.
This motive of profit has been given a
long trial. And it has failed-trag-
ically failed Its fruitage is world
catastrophe, and, at this present mo-
ment, worldwide unrest
Why not try the experiment of ap-
pealing TO a different motive? The mo
