So confident were the Japanese ! that six bombing planes loaded' with champagne took off from here ( for Nanking. It was intended for! the use of officers of the army to celebrate their victory.

But, scorning rest, 1 upon his reappearance he instantly began again though there were no dancers yet, as if the other fiddler had been carried homv. exhausted ' c<i a shutter, and he were a brandnew man resolved to beat him out : of sight, or perish. There were more dances, and there were forfeits, and more dances, 1 and there was cake, and there was negus and there was a great piece of Cold Roast, and there was a great , ; piece of Cold Boiled, and there were , mince pies and plenty of beer. But the great effect of the evening came after the roast and boiled, when the 1 fiddler (an artful dog. mind!

When the clock struck 11 this domestic ball broke up. Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig took their stations, one on either side the door, and shaking hands with every persoxi individually as he or she went out, wished him or her a Merry Christ- ; mas When everybody had retired tut the two prentices, they did the same to them; and thus the cheerful ! icices died away, and the lads were left to their beds, which were under a counter in the back-shop. During the whole of this time Scrooge had acted like a man out of his wits. His heart and soul were hi the scene, and with his former self. He corroborated everything, re- | membered everything, enjoyed ev--1 cry-thing and underwent the strang- , est agitation. It was not until now when the bright faces of his former self and Dick were turned from them, that he remembered the Ghost and became conscious that it was looking full upon him, while the light upon it» head burned very I clear. “A small matter.” said the Ghost, "to make these silly folk so full of gratitude.” “Small!" echoed Scrooge. The Spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of Fezziwig; and when he had done so. sa! I: ' Why! Is it not?

much that he deserves this praise?” “It isn't that.” said Scrooge, heated by the remark and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter self. "It isn't that, Spirit He has the power to render us happy or unhappy, to make our service light or burdensome, a pleasure or a toil. Say that his power lies in words and looks, in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up, what then? The happiness he gives is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." • He felt the Spirit's glance and stopped. “What is the matter?” asked the Ghost. “Nothing particular.” said Scrooge "Something, I think?” the Ghost insisted. "No,” said Scrooge. “No. I should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk Just now. That's all.” His former self turned down the lamps as he gave utterance to the wish, and Scrooge and the Ghost again stood side by side in the open air “My time grows short,” observed the Spirit. “Quick!” This was not addressed to Scrooge or to any one whom he could see but it produced an immediate effect For again Scrooge saw himself. He was older now: a man in the prime of life. His face had not the harsh and rigid lines of later years; but it had begun to wear the signs of care and avarice. There was an eager, greedy, restless motion in the eye. which showed the passion that had taken root and where the shadow of the growing tree would fall. He was not alone but sat
