a big old book on his knees. In fact,
we children of the neighborhood
thought of books when we thought
of old Mr.. Chumley, for he had been
a school teacher before our day and
time.
"That lunch basket" he said.
"Betty Bingham sent that. :"
I handed the basket to him and
said, eyes, sir, she did"
For a few minutes he sat there
with his hand resting on the handle
of the basket, and set his eyes on
the little blue blazes that were
spewing from the ends of the hickory
sticks on the fire.
THEN HE LAID out the food ON
the little center table there in the
middle of the room. thought it was
the prettiest little table. 1t seemed to
be kind of old and drowsy with
dreams and moldy with memories,
for it had crippled leg and drawer

cracked and peeled.

roast turkey sandwiches, he spoke.

vYTHEN I walked along by Mrs.
w Bingham's house, she called to
me and asked would do her little
favor. I told her, "of course" so she
ran back into the house and came out
with a basket and handed it to me
across the yard fence.
"I would like for you to take this
basket to Mr.. Chunley," she said.
This was Christmas morning, and
could smell the roast turkey, the
cranberry sauce and mince meat
pies. Nothing smells so good as a
full lunch basket on crisp Deem
Der day.
AS I walked along with the bas-
ket, I remembered things about old
Mr.. Chumley. I remembered the
road that passed by his house and
how it seemed to widen and get
friendly and how the old man would
wait by the fence and hand apples
to us school children across the old
rail fence.
[ REMEMBERED now that old
Mrs, Chumley was dead and that
Mr.. Chumley lived alone. remem-
bered hearing my mother once speak
of how hungry men would get for
women's cooking and things like
that.
When I got there and knocked on
the door, I heard him say, "Come in"
And anybody could tell from the
sound of the old mans voice that he
meant it and was glad somebody
was coming.

chair by a smoldering log fire with

ings to the mother, as she lay in the
hut with her baby in her arms, re-
turned to the valley for midnight
mass and delivered his sermon. Bells
from all the different villages in the
valley rang. All the remainder of
the night the young priest sat at his
study table, thinking of the poor
charcoal-maker's wife with her baby
in her arms.
When he was not thinking of this
mother and child, his mind turned
far back across the centuries to
long-ago time and another Mother
and Her Baby as He lay in manger
in the City of David. The young
priests thoughts kept finding express
sion in poetry and when morning
broke he had written a poem:
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon Virgin Mother and
Child;
Holy Infant, so tender and
mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace

The next day, Christmas in 1918,
the young priest showed his poem to
a friend, Franz Xaver Gruber, music
teacher in the village school. Franz
composed music for the poem and
before the day was over the priest
and Franz were singing their new
song, "Song From Heaven" they
called it, to the accompaniment of
guitar as the church organ was ont
of repair.
The song had not yet become the
immortal hymn, Silent Night" nor
was it yet sung outside the Austrian
TyroL But soon it was widely sung
in the Zil1ertal valley. And of all
those who sang it, none could equal
the singing of four little children, the
Strasser children-Caroline, Joseph,
Andreas, and little Amalie. Kari
Mauracher, famous organ builder,
had taught the song to the children.
Then one day the children had a
great surprise. An elderly man, Di-
rector Pohlenz, director general OF
music for the Kingdom of Saxony,
gave them tickets to one of his con-
certs that he, himself, directed regu-
1arly at Leipsig. At the concert, the
children felt afraid amid so many
grand gentlemen in silk hats and
ladies in rustling dresses. They wers

IT IS HOLY EVE, or, as we say
now, Christmas Eve, in the ancient
village of Hal1ein in the Austrian
Alps. The year is 1918. The night is
cold and both the Alps and the
Zillertal valley are white with snow.
Here and there in the valley and
along the trails that wind up and
down the Alps can be seen the
torches of the mountaineerS on their
way to midnight mass or of groups
of children frolicking the evening
away before the hour of midnight.
A young priest sits in his study
preparing a sermon for Midnight
service. In his Bible he reads the
story of the shepherds in the fields.
Just then a peasant woman, wrapped
about in a coarse shawl, knocks at
his door and tells him that far up
on one of the Hottest of the Alps a
poor charcoal-maker's wife with a
newborn baby lies on crude bed in
a hut, awaiting his blessing.
Father Mohr, that was the young
priests name, went to give his bless

wrote about George Washington,
some about David Crockett and Buff

would like to have been Abraham
Lincoln and freed the slaves and
made the great speech on the battle
field of Gettysburg that day.

like to have been Jenny Lind and

songs. -.

HERE OLD MIR. CHUMLEY got
up and told me to wait minute,
and he went slowly up the stair steps.
After few minutes, he came back
down, and had in his shalSy hand
some sheets of aged and yellowed
paper.
He sat back down in his big chair.
''This," he said, els the paper Betty
Bingham read that day. I asked her
if I could have it, and have kept
it through all the years-a kind of
precious thing from the days when
the children came to school to
me. :"
And as he unfoI6ed the little
manuscript, I could see it was from
a school pad, the cheap, pulp paper
with the dim blue lines, and then the
old man adjusted his glasses and
read:

fixed had been blessed, and after
that, five thousand men, besides the
women and children, had been fed
and after that, twelve baskettuls
were gathered up. ;. :"

crisp old sheets of paper and he set
his eyes again on the little blue

Colts Consider Moving

By the A.soeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 18.-Ofi-
cials of the Baltimore Colts said
today they are considering
whether to remove Keith Moles-
worth as head coach and move
him upstairs" to management.
It's been suspected for three
weeks that Molesworth might be
relieved of coaching the Colts.
He met yesterday in New York
with Carroll Rosenbloom. prin-
cipal owner, and Don Kellett,
president and general manager.
The officials today issued a
statement that "they were in
agreement that MoleSworth was
the type of man they wanted
in the Colt organization. His
long experience as a player and
coach qualities him for a key
post in a professional football
organization"
Kellett said further that an
other meeting is planned in the
near future in order to deter
mine if MoleSworth will best
serve the Colts organization as
head coach or in a higher man
agement position"
