When May came 1t seemed time for
Ishmael to go home, but he was not
very happy at the prospect. Indeed,
he was rather unhappy about it. He
felt something Hike one on his way to
| jail, and even shed tears at the
thought Of leaving SWeetfeld, SO that
a squirrel, seeing him Wiping his eyes
under tree, exclaimed "Oh, what q
rainy boyl" but. the day came and
Ishmael went.
Another surprise awaited him, how
ever, for, as he neared home and en-
tered It, everything seemed changed.
The house looked sunny and pleasant
In its new colors, the fence had disap-
peared, the iron dog had been moved
to the barn, and the mailed knight had
gone down to the ironWorks to be
turned into plowshares.
When Mr.. Bondage went out to
SWeetfield to visit his sister and to
report upon Ishmael's progress, Aunt
Sarah had her reward. ut Is oil your
doing, Sarah," said he. II needed
someone to show me up to myself"
''Well, BROTHER" said Aunt Sarah, "a
Stitch In Time Saves Nine" as the
proyerb has it, and you certainly will
be proud Of our boy yet. as proud Of
hima as I am Of my big, new brother"
When December came clustering
around again and brought Santa Claus
and all his load Of love and jollity,
there was no place that more warmly
welcomed him than Mount Freedom,
as Mr.. Bondage's home had come to
be called, and of all the happy Christi
mas parties of that year, none was
fuller of mirth and good cheer than
the one at Mount Freedom. They
danced about the tree and under the
motto that hung from the top of 1t
with Its message Of good will to every
body, the football was kicked all over
the floor and they shouted In their
glee. The squeaking toys, the footing
whistles, the happy songs, all made
the time as merry as 1t ought always
to be, while the gifts spoke messages
Of love.

field. 1t hung over the mantel shelf
in the living room and under 1t he had
written, 1.-THE Home Of the Green
Christmas" When anyone asked him
about it he would tell them how spring
once came In a Wintry time; he would
say that while Christmas comes but
once a year, it sometimes comes twice,
and that whenever 1t comes it brings
good cheer but he was never able to
make picture Of his Aunt Sarah that
seemed to him good enough
Christmas Neckties.
Some individual with leisure and
curious mind has figured out that 90
out of every 100 men receive necktie
as q Christmas gift The estimate Is
conservative, but how many Of the
neckties so bestowed are worn by their
recipients? The giving of neckties Is q
perilous proceeding always, for a neck
tie is essentially a matter Of indi-
vidusl taste. Many man gets neck
wear at Christmas that he could read
ily enough admire as part Of a curtain
or a drape, but that he would wear
only under the compulsion of q gun
leveIed at his head,

"TENDERING" THE SHEEP

GOMENIMEs the thoughts Of
- little folks are far deeper
than our own. They are uncon-
scionsly nearer to the soul of
things and more In the divine
secrets. Few of us but would
give much could we feel again the
romantic atmosphere that used
to be such a delightful fog at
Christmas time. No later imag-
nations have equaled those
which once strained our ears as
we sat up In bed, listening for
the reindeer upon the roof, the
sleigh bells of Santa Claus. With
what ecstatic Joy we used to
explore the stuffed stockings!

was hard, and still, and dark, and too
orderly. From the outside 1t looked
IKE tort, and inside, the chairs stood

zsi.om the attack with new respect for

BESIDES all this, Ishmael had had no

mark that hasn't been equaled In

Red Faber was the only pitcher 20
win twenty-five games last year and
he lost fifteen doing II. One pitcher
that has twenty-five victories in him
would put about ten major league
