Its hair, which “Uijg about its neck and down its back, was white as if with age; and file face had not a wrinkle in -k and the tenderest bloom was on the ttin. The arms were very long bhd muscular; the hands the same, if its hold were of uncommon strength its legs and feet, most dlUeattl-, formed, were, like those ' “PPer members, bare. It wore a tunic of the purest white; and round Waist was bound a lustrous belt, tueijheen of which was beautiful. held a branch of fresh green holly th its hand; and, in singular contradiction of that wintry emblem, nad its dress trimmed with Summer u °wers. But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of . d there sprung a bright clear Os light, by which all this was uuble; and which was doubtless the wOMlon of its using, in its duller

You can see them coming over a| I far-away mountain in a long, straight line. For seven days, j thousands and thousands of themj filed by unr location One herd of| at least 25.000 took an hour to 1 i pass a certain point." Yolo suid the Indian tribes gath’l er where they know lite caribou 1 will cross a river' He pointed out I j that it is against the law to shoot II the animals while they are swim- . niing. The Indians go out In boats, j j shoot the animals on either shore ■ and carry home their winter meat 1 r, in the boats. On the Kenai peninsula he found , I moose hunters from all over the i ■ world: Kermit Roosevelt, a French i duke, a Polish count. A. C. Gilbert. * i i toy manufacturer, and many mill ■ | ionaires.

For as ita belt sparkled and glittered, now in one part and now in another, and what was light on instant, at annthpr time was dark, so the figure itself fluctuated in its distinctness being now a thing with one , arm' now with one leg now with twenty legs, now a pair of legs ’rithout ahead, now a head without a of which dissolving parts, no outline would be visible in the dense , glooni wherein they melted away * u •»-> ♦hp vprv wonder of this, it would be Itself again; distinct and clear as ever.

CHRISTMAS TREE RISES 200 FEET Sun Francisco, Dec 9 CU.R). California's world famous forests lof giant redwood trees are being ! called upon to produce the largest ; Christmas tree this year the world j has even seen. The tree is to be erected on Treasure Island, tile man-made Island that has been built up in I San Francisco bay as the site of : the 19.19 Golden Gate and Interi national exposition. A committee has been designat ed to seek a tree that will measure not less than 200 feet in height and arrange for its transportation and erection on the Island in time for the Yuletide festivities. The task will involve some complicated transportation and engineering feats. In the first place, it is necessary that the tree be cut down and eased to the ground in such a wey as not to damage its branches ami foliage. An intricate system of wire cables will aid woodsmen in this part of the task. The tree will then be cut in two 100-foot sections and loaded on special freight cars, also in a manner as not to destroy or damage the branches. Finally, upon arrival at San Francisco. the two sectors will have to be lifted by giant cranes from the cars, and deposited with appropriate care on barges which will carry them across the bay to the island. Once re-erected on the island, electrical experts will arrange the decorations and lighting effects so that the tree can be seen by all incoming and outgoing steamers, by the populations of the bay cities and by all autoists crossing the hay s two new bridges.

"No. Your past." Perhaps Scrooge could not have 1 told anybody why, if anybody could i have asked him; but he had a spe- 1 cial desire to see the Spirit in his ' cap; and begged him to be covered. "What!” exclaimed the Ghost, 1 "would you so soon put out, with 1 worldly hands, the light I give? Is it not enough that you are one of those whose passions made this cap, and force me through whole trains of years to wear it low upon my brow!” Scrooge reverently disclaimed all Intention to offend or any knowledge of having willfully "bonneted" the Spirit at any period of his life. He then made bold to inquire what business brought him there. “Your welfare!” said the Ghost. Scrooge expressed himself much obliged, but could not help thinking that a night of unbroken rest would have been more conducive to that end. The Spirit must have heard him thinking, for it said immediately; "Your reclamation, then. Take heed!” It put out its strong hand as it spoke, and clasped him gently by the arm. "Rise! and walk with me

"Five presents here and they aren’t from the five and ten, either, | Jack! I know, you took my emer-: aid to buy these, didn't you?” ' “You honestly think that of me, Ellen?

It would have been in vain for Scrooge to plead that the weather and the hour were not adapted to pedestrian purposes; that bed was warm, and the thermometer a long way below freezing; that he was clad but lightly in his slippers, dressing-gown and nightcap; and that he had a cold upon him at that time. The grasp, though gentle as a woman’s hand, was not to be resisted. He rose; but finding that the Spirit made toward the window, clasped its robe in supplication. "I am mortal,” Scrooge remonstrated, “and liable to fall.” “Bear but a touch of my hand there," said the Spirit, laying it upon his heart, “and you shall be upheld in more than this!” As the words were spoken, they passed through the wall, and stood upon an open country road, with fields on either hand. The city had entirely vanished. Not a vastige of it was to be seen. The darkness and the mist had vanished with it, for it was a clear, cold Winter day, with snow upon the ground. "Good said Scrooge, clasping his hands together, as he looked about him. “I was bred in this place. I was a boy here!” The Spirit gazed upon him mildly. Its gentle touch, though it had been

In a moment she went to lie, knees before lii-r husband. "Forgive? Why, Ellen dear, it certainly did look bad for me. no wonder. If I’d not been a stubborn fool I'd have gone on and explained myself.

He was conscious of a thousand odors floating in the air. each one connected with a thousand thoughts, and hopes! and joys, and cares, long, long forgotten. “Your lip is trembling.” said the Ghost. "And what is that upon your cheek?" Scrooge mu'tered, with an unusual catching in his voice, that it was a pimple; and begged the Ghost to lead him where he would. “You recollect the way?’ inquired the Spirit. “Remember it!” cried Scrooge, with fervor; “I could walk it blindfold." “Strange to have forgotten it for so many years!" observed the Ghost “Let us go on.” They walked along the road, Scrooge recognizing every gate, and post, and tree; until a little market town appeared in the distance, with its bridge, its church, its winding river. Some shaggy ponies now were seen trotting toward them with boys upon their backs, who called to other boys in country gigs and carts driven by farmers All these boys were in great spirits and shouted to each other until the broad fields were so full of merry music that the crisp air laughed to hear it. “These are but shadows of the things that have been,” said the Ghost “They have no consciousness of us.” The jocund travelers came on; and as they came, Scrooge knew and named them every one. Why was lie rejoiced beyond all bounds to see them! Why did his cold eye glisten and his heart leap up as they went past? Why was he filled with gladness when he heard them give each other Merry Christmas, as they parted at crossroads and byways, for their several homes? What was merry Christmas to Scrooge? Out upon merry Christmas! What good had it ever done to him? “The school is not quite deserted.” said the Ghost. "A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there ) stiu.” J Scrooge said he knew it, and he sobbed. They left the highroad by a wellremembered lane and soon apr I proached a mansion of dull red brick, r with a little weathercock-sur--5 mounted cupola on the roof and a 3 bell hanging in it. It was a large I house, but one of broken fortunes; 3 for the spacious offices were little • used, their walls were damp and 1 mossy, their windows broken and i their gates decayed. Fowls clucked 3 and strutted in the stables, anil the ■ coach houses and sheds were over- - run with grass. Nor was it more ’, retentive of its ancient state within; for, entering the dreary hall and - glancing through the open doors of many rooms, they found them poorly 1 furnished, cold and vast. There was i an earthy savor in the air, A chilly 1 bareness in the place, which associated itself somehow with too much f getting up by candle light, and not 1 too much to eat. i They went, the Ghost and Scrooge. 1 across the hall, to a door at the back f of the house. It opened before them i and disclosed a long, bare, melant choly room, made barer still by lines i of plan deal forms and desks. At one of these a lonely boy was reading ■, near a feeble fire; and Scrooge sat e | down upon a form and wept to see i i his poor forgotten self as he had used to be. 1 Continued Tomorrow

BY - AAAiTIHA BANNING THOMAS CAROLINE told herself a dozen times a day that she did not care whether she heard from Stephen or not. What possible difference could it make now, after all these months of silence? And here it was Christmas eve. ' Not a message! Not a card! Oh. ! well . . . she turned away from the window. One must not allow one s self the luxury of regret. Fires burned brightly on the hearth. Holly hung above the mani tel. Snow outside, cheer within. That was all she required. She hummed a tune in false gayety. A ring at the door. Stephen? No, just a messenger boy with a box. j Caroline's fingers crackled the red I cellophane unwrapping it. No card, j Just crazy dozens of jig-saw pieces. She walked restlessly about the room. Then she returned to the box. Black and white pieces only. Idly she fitted a few together, leaned ' closer and frowned. Familiar hand-writing. Stephen's hand-writ- [ ing! Excitedly she bent above the puz- ; zle fitting the rest together. Grad■i Caroline Was Net Alone With Her Bright Fire and Holly. ually Stephen's clear strong writing stared up at her. "Dear Caroline,” it read, “if you have the patience to put this toi gether, I shall know you are still ( interested in me. I could not tell you what I wanted to, before I left, because I was not sure of circumstances. But now I know. I can take care of you. Will you marry me, Caroline? A yes be the most marvelous Christmas present in the world. I love you. "Stephen." She laughed a little. She cried a little. Then she went to the mantel and snatched down a photograph ofherself. This she cut up into small jagged pieces. On several she wrote a single word, which, when put together, read: "I have gone all to pieces, missing you.” Then on the mouth of her pictured face, she added the single word “Yes." These pieces she quickly wrapped up in the box sent to her, and dis- | patched it by a messenger, who admitted that a gentleman had given it to him', who was staying at the Inn in town. In another hour Caroline was not alone with her bright fire and holly. And Christmas eve was what it should be. Stephen declared he had been too scared to come himself and sent the puzzle as a test-case. Then he kissed her. © Western Newspaper Union. 7** F Santa Himself I iniHnnHiwnnnuirTTTr Jj ■ Wl' wl Jr •. j i r 1 TO i — Guard Disrupts Prison i Canon City, Colo. -(U.R>- A night , guard at the Colorado State penii tentiary here has been nominated I for the job of prison "plumber."
