Uncle Peter had spoken of Uncle

Uncle SANTA, saying that he has had
his eye ON this house for the last
twelvemonth, and that this will be one

so much Of service for others has been
going out. He says that you are his
gardeners and that you have planted
so many seeds Of kindness that a lot
of beautiful things will be sure to
come up. That is always the way, he
says; in fact, II Is the way In which
he got rich himself"
This was very pleasant assurance
for the children. IL made them think
Of happy mistake that one of them
had made when they were having war
gardens all over the town: A certain
Mr.. Rose had been appointed by the
mayor as inspector 0f gardens for the
whole place, and one day Betty point
ed him out to friend with whom she
was walking. There goes Mr.. Rose"
she said; 'he's an expecter Of gar

out into all the neighborhood. He has
played the old schoolmaster young
again and fixed his thought upon a life
that never grows old.
Indeed, tho flute player has even en-
couraged the schoolmaster to begin
teaching again. The scholars are his
grandchildren. They are not having
hard time, for they sing on their way
TO lessons. They are not unhappy
scholars, for one Of them threw a kiss
To the last Christmas moon. Last
summer another Of them became
poetess and composed the following
appreciation Of nature:
Above the Argonne Forest
Star is shining fair;
It's gentle beams awaken
the young men sleeping there.
Again In songs OF angels
The birth Of Christ is told;
The young men 30 TO greet Him
With richer gifts thar gold,
The flute player is setting this to
music. This scholar has already
learned to write. She has proved that
by producing an invitation to one Of
the school sessions In this form:
Dear Aunt Fanny;
Please come Friday. II you can; and
Il you can't come. don't come.
She is not a fiatterer, however, when

ed away and left but two receding
images before him, he looked once
more upon one who had gone to some
unknown land, the son who had 80
mysteriously disappeared from the
home fellowship and ken, and he saw
again the form of her who had set out
for the land that is beyond the stars,
but not before she had placed In his
hand the precious vase with the pic
tured flute player upon Its side.
At the time he had not fully noted
the significance Of the happy urchin
In the red robe as he held his flute to
his lips. Pleasures and pursuits
pressed upon him and left the musi-
clan unnoticed through the days and
nights. But the boy had never ceased
his playing, and now with some re-
membered melody, then with some new
adventure In the world of harmony,
he seemed to be waiting for the recog-
milton and appreciation that he knew
would come. A steadfast and invet-
crate optlmist, he played on; to weari-
ness and loneliness he played hope
full song; forbidding detection and de
spair, he became prophet Of better
days to come. In solitude and useless
ness he was as an only but changeless
friend. To him the old man turned as
to an oracle. Poverty had taken one
after the other Of his possessions, but
had never been able to separate him
from this merry genius, this lncorrIgi-
bly, persistent promiser.
If the prelude does not get discour-
aged fortune is likely to admire It and
introduce the performance, and this
turned out to be the reward of the
Industrious hope Of the flute player.
He did not hear the step upon the stair
or the knock upon the door, and he
did not see the amazement with which
the schoolmaster listened to the tale
Of his lost son, as he embraced him
and tried to realize that he had In
deed come back and brought good for
tune with him, but even more merrily
and madly he played In the dance with
which these two were to go down the
future.
Habits are strange things. One can
get so far into a habit of gladness as

last Christmas party; stalking heavily
and pompously down the room, she
had said: I'm Mr.. Atlas, who holds
up the world" so one Of them stood
ON tiptee, threw back her head and
threw out her arms and said: I'm
Uncle Santa Claus, who holds up the
world" "Weil doner' cried Uncle

excited to have a care for her ex.
pressions. In describing the situation
afterwards she said: II was In a per
feet stupor Of excitement"
Uncle Peter had a present, too
After all the rest had been made
happy Agnes brought out a parcel
and when Uncle Peter opened II there
were too big books that told over
again the story Of all that America
had stood for and accomplished. This
made him very glad indeed, and he
asked them to write his name on the
fly leaf and to say that 1t was from
his Young Americans. Then the
Christmas party ended with n verse
Of our national anthem, heartily sung
and followed by oil the other verses
with hurrah for Uncle Sam instead
Of an amen.

OF ALL the Christmas gifts Of past
~ years but one remained. 1t seemed
surrounded by a charm that was all
Its own and that was az unaffected
by the atmosphere Of the bare and
dlngy room as light in a dark place.
The old schoolmaster took II up, looked
lovingly upon It and replaced 1t upon
the shelf. Then, advancing to the
window, he looked out upon the lighted
star in the church steeple that was
proclalming Christ's birthday and lis
tened to the shouts Of the merrymak-
ers in the streets as they rose upon
the snowy wind. .

happier days. In the picture gallery

And Mllly answered,

THE young people were going to
a give Christmas picnic on the
day after Christmas. They had all
decided that 1t would be no end OF
fun to take their skates and have a
long day Of skating, and to have their
dinner out Of doors.
They felt II would be particularly
good for them, too, to get away from
the sweets and holiday food they
would constantly be nibbllng at II
they were home.
SO on the day after Christmas they
went on the Christmas picnic and skat-
Ing party.
They all had so much enthusiasm.
