There were four children at the
supper table with father and mother.
The cakes had just been brought in,
and all the four pairs Of eyes were
wide with pleasure. This was an I'M
expected treat. Usually suppers in
this parsonage were affairs Of bread

over the nut cakes
But little Frances was the most
elated of all; for suddenly, right on
the spot, a problem that had been
troubling her for two whole days was
solved. Yes, the nut cakes answered
the problem to perfection. Carefully,
and all unobserved, she slipped the de-

there came another creak, farther
down. The minister began to nrten.
Then, last OF all a creak at the very
bottom Of the stairs. The minister left
the cosy library where he was sitting
reading with mother and cautiously
started to investigate.
In the back parlor, to which he
tracked the tiny sounds, there was dim
starlight. That Is how he saw the

several times during the evening in a
sort of resigned tone as If there were
nothing that could be done to improve
the situation.
It was Christmas Eve and the
world was waiting with eagerness for
the morrow. All day the snow had
been falling until now everything was
covered with a blanket of downy soft
ness. AT intervals sharp north wind
came and drifted the snow into shell
tered places, piling 1t up In great
white heaps. It was a night when the
warmth and coziness Of home was very
attractive, when men and women hur-
ried eagerly to warm flresides.
But although big fire was blazing
upon the Tucker hearth and everything
in the home bespoke warmth and
plenty, it was not enough to make the
fuckers happy. For they belonged to
that body OF humanity that finds its
greatest happiness In having part In
making the happiness Of others, espe-
eially those Of their own fireside. Up
until a few months ago this ambition
Of theirs had always been satisfied. for
upon their only daughter they had Law
ished all the wealth Of affection that
was possible. But all too soon she had
grown to womanhood and a few
months before had married the man Of
her choice, going to make her home In
distant city. Since that time their
lives had been very empty and, as is
usual In such cases, the advent of
Christmas seemed to make them real
lie this fact more than ever. For all
around them others had some Of their
very own to share with them the joys
Of Christmas time.
Suddenly on the silence that had
fallen between them came a low, feeble
wail-the cry of a little baby. They
both jumped to their feet and stood
in an attitude of listening. Then the
sound came again, louder and lustler
than before, and In a moment they
were both at the door. TITS a baby +"
they cried in unison "a poor little
abandoned babyl"
And sure enough 1t was a baby-a
wee little mite Of humanity that lay
in the pile Of snow that had ~drifted
to the doorway. With tender hands
they unwound the many wraps that
encircled the tiny form, then a little
cry came from the woman as the soft,
rosy face of the child came into view /:
"Oh, Warreni" she whispered in a
sort Of awed voice, as she held the tiny
form. close in her arms, "let US keep
this child for our very own. God must
have known Of the emptiness Of our
hearts and sent 1t to us%

p. Paris, Aug, 4.-Alcohol and gaso-
p line, mixed in equal quantities, Will
be put on the market as the French
national fuel' in October.
Long tests and multitude Of
scientific sessions finally evolved this
mixture as better than straight gas
oline and a great forward step in
freeing France from foreign petro-
leum domination" phrase often
used in parliament.
France produces much alcohol, used
largely in poor country homes for
their limited cooking, and in indus
try. This production, it is held, can
be increased many fold, SO the coun-
try need no longer be dependent up
on the heavy importations of petro
leum that became a serious problem
during the war and is blamed now
for helping to keep down the franc.
Scientific commissions have de-
cided half alcohol and half gasoline
will not injure an automobile motor,
will not increase the consumption,
and will give greater flexibility with
some increase in power. The cost of
the new fuel is matter OF contro-
versy. 1t is contended by its friends
that competition will settle the ques-
ton OF price satisfactorily.
Many other combinations of alco-
hol, gasoline, kerosene and crude oil
have been tried. A test made by
n government car recently gave good
results with 20 per cent alcohol and
30 per cent kerosene.
Gasoline, however, will remain the
fuel for army mrplanes for the pres
ent. The government hopes eventu-
ally to find suitable fuel for its big
air force, but the aviation service
prefers to watch the work of the new
fuel on dry land before running any
new risk of stalled motors in the
clouds.

Mr.. Engel met with a number of
Minot citizens and hopes to do some
colonization work in this vicinity. He
says that thousands of young men
from those countries are looking to-
ards America as their goal and
would come here if they had the mon
ey. 1t requires about 5000 to bring
each man to North Dakota and if this
money can be advanced, these men
will come and work on farms, secur-
ing their own homes as soon as they
are able. The men would pay the mon
ey back as soon as they earn it, he
says.
Rev. Mr.. Engel after making an in
vestigation of conditions in North Da-
kota, believes there issroom for thou

would prove an important factor in
developing our agricultural resources.
