aside and told her so-as a kindness.
To each of them she made the same
reply, which was to the effect that

him two years later. But all this has
nothing TO do with Henry's interview
with his chief.
Sir Julian was speaking:
Its very unsatisfactory. You say

Sir Julian frowned.
It's very unsatisfactory" he re-
peated. Sir William we'll,

Henry. He is all right except on
his own particular subject. He'd discuss
politics, unemployment, foreign af-
fairs, or anything else, and you

Henry did not finish his sentence.

As he spoke he picked up the

said Henry. He paused and looked
with a good deal OF diffidence at Sir
Julian.
"Weu?"
TT is just within the bounds of
possibility that the government eX-
periments are being used as a blind.
That was her suggestion, sir"
Sir Julian was busily engaged in
drawing on his blotting paper. He
drew in rapid succession cats with
arched backs and bottle brush tails,
always beginning with the tail and
finishing with the whiskers, three on
each side Henry rightly interpreted
this as a sign that he was TO
continue.
THE conversation which was over
heard at Molloys fiat referred to
formula A which cannot possibly
be the formula "A which we know.
There may be a formula "A Of which

Henry paused-"Ember is not only in
a position of great responsibility
with regard to our-the official for

mixed up with this other unofficial
and possibly dangerous formula A.
The question, to my mind, is, What
about Ember?'"
Sir Julian continued TO draw cats.
Suddenly he looked up and said:
How long has Patterson been
there?"
"a fortnight" said Henry. I'VE re-
called Jameson, you remember, and
sent him down"

about midway through an
interview with his chief.
Henry's chief was a large man who
strongly resem bled clean and
highly intelligent pig. A very little
hair appeared to grow reluctantly on
his head: his face was pink and
clean-shaven. He had inherited the
patronymic OF lie Mesurier, his par

the romantic name of Julian, and
grateful government had conferred
upon him the honor of knighthood

foot within the precincts of his first
preparatory school, he had been
known exclusively as Piggy"

ing to the New York World. This does not mean that the volume is increased by the ad- dition of alloys, but rather that the density of the gold is reduced in such a way that the bulk is increased in due proportion. In other words the metal is ''swelled" or stretch ed" to the degree that the mass becomes greater than it was before treatment. Thus a given quantity of pure gold in- tended for use in the commerc- ial manufacture of jewelry can be made by this process into a considerably larger number of finished articles than was formerly possible without lessening it's purity.
 The process, although new to our day, is in reality one of the so-called lost arts, having been used in the 14th. century by the famous Italian gold jmith, Benvenuto Cellini. Gel lini, however, died without revealing the secret, thereby depriving posterity of an i'm mensely important benefit.

The Herald extends to it's readers and friends its best wishes for a Merry Christmas

To those who would know the merriest Christmas of a lite time we say. you can gain it by showing it to some one else.
 Co personally, not along the highways but in the byways, and find some one who neeos Christmas cheer; not that you may give them goods or money, but loving kindness and ser wee. Not mere perfunctory giv- ing gift7 of gauds and gegaws, but something of yourself, that bit of good which alone makes us worthy to be called akin to God.
 Remember Abou Ben Adhem, who ~"nked as first among the blest because he loved his tllow men. This is not to say that when you have found some truly worthy ones you should refrain from bestowing upon them, some of the mater ial thi gs of life. Give them if you wi the full basket, toys and tr nkets, or bid them share your Christmas feast. But lest of all give them the kind ness a d personal interest that endure not for a day alone but through all the year.
 The way to achieve happiness is to give happiness. To achieve the full joy of Christ mas, our Christmas celebration should be truly Christ like, we should begin our worship with the merry day and continue it throughout the year, not giving iii material things alone, but. giving of self and service.

fortunate even the most un- fortunate of us Americans are, there are an astounding lot of people who try terribly hard to be confirmed grouches. They really don't want to en- joy life, and keep themselves 90 busy hunting up unpleasant things that they actually nev- er see the pleasant ones.
 But this habit we have of greeting each other at Christ mas time with that jolly little word Merry" just knocks those gloomy folks awry.. One simply can't grunt and frown ,n return to Merry Christ mas" And if he gets enough such greetings in a day, he coon gets over the desire to Srown, and begins to Merry Christmas" a few folks him. elf.
 The big trouble liesin the fact that the greeting is not used Ill through the year. If it were hen perhaps each days journ- y would bring fewer and few ar of those glum sour folks whom one hates to meet, and md more of those pleasant, in ,eresting people whom one de- tights to know.
 The best solution probably would be the suggestion that ,veryone carry the Merry Christmas spirit into his year ound greetings even though le can't use the words: No use making oneself a village joke y calling Yuletide greetings turing July but one can say good morning in such a man. Ter that the person he is meet ng knows he rather likes the world. And if he does he will 'e keeping the old pledge, T will honor Christmas in my leart, and try to keep it all the year."
Hyder weekly herald., 1925-12-23

Rant and rave as one may about the nonsense of Christ mas, the rush of the holidays, there is something suggestive of kindness and gladness and good cheer in that greeting. Merry Christmas Pit gets at one whether he really starts out with the intention of being merry or not.
