The Message of the Bells - A. Christmas Sech Dun clouds scudded gustily across the sky, hiding the peaceful face of tho moon, whoso radiance touched tho edgos of her somber veil with a fringe of silver. The great gray tower llftod its head far aloft in the midnight stillness, and the wind moaned around its rough-hewn corners a requiem for tho dying year. Within the tower sat the old bell-ringer, waiting for the stroke of 12 from the clock, and. as he waited, his thoughts drifted back to the years long burled In the dimness of the past the years when his floating white hair had been crisp and black, when his long, slender fingers were strong and supple, and struck from the midnight chimes music of entrancing beauty. Oh, happy memory! Oh. long ago! It was on another night like that that Ruprecht was born, and the Joy which
beamed from tho pale young mother's
face was reflected in his own as he lett her with her baby on her bosom and rushed to the bell-tower to make of his chimes a pean of praise to the Father
who had filled his life with blessing.
How they loved him that baby their only one their all! How he and Els-
peth had watched each new development how proudly guided the first tottering step; how carefully repeated the
first lisping word.
The boy studied, improving every op
portunity with untiring zeal, until at last the great organ In the Cathedral
below thundered its glorious music re
sponsive to the touch of the boyish fingers. People thronged to hear. Ruprecht's services were demanded elsewhere brilliant prospects opened be
fore him, and the Inevitable separation drew near.
New Year's eve! How many anni
versaries this shadowy hour held! The boy bade them good-bye while Elspeth clung to him and nobbed, and her hus
band rushed away to tell the chimes his agony as he had poured Into them his joy. As he sat waiting, even as now, a step came up the stair and some one entered the belfry chamber, and the voice he loved said tenderly: "Mein
Vater, let me play the chimes to-night.
I will leave with them a message to
comfort you when you are sad a message for you and the mother, too. When I hear It in the far-off land it
will bo my mother's voice that sings to me, and when you play it, mein Vater, It will say to you, 'Ruprecht loves me.' Then you will pray 'God watch over my boy and keep him safe
for me.' and tho All-Father win hear."
When Ruprecht struck the massive
keys It was the simple old Pleyers
hymn he played, but ho lent his beautiful voice to the clangor of the bells
and sang his mother's favorite words:
have passed and the lad is a man, but the father nnd tho mother he has not found, nor does he expect to greet them again until the New Year of heaven dawns for him. as he believes It has already dawned for thorn. So, when tho midnight comes I play each New Year's eve as I as the lad played on that last night long ago my mcssago to my dear one." Tho clock on the mantel warned for 12. and the musician turned to the piano and played again, simply and lovingly, Pleyel's hymn, singing as In tho
long ago the beautiful words his
mother loved.
As the last note died away In the
quiet room the tower clock began to
strike, but was drowned by the music of the chimes. A thrill ran through
the hushed circle as they recognized
the strain they had Just heard, but the musician arose with a mighty cry, "Mein Vater!" and ran out into the night, guided by the music of the bells.
When the old bell-ringer shut tho door he could not see. for the tears that blinded him, the hurrying figure on the pavement. A moment later he
was gathered close to the heart that yearned for him, and together. In the
opening of the glad New Year, they
went out from the shadow of the old
bell tower, homo to Elspeth, whose mother-heart came noar to bursting
with the Joy of a son's home-coming. The Housekeeper.

"Children of the Heavenly King, As ye journey sweetly sing; Sing your Savior's worthy praise. Glorious In Ills works and ways." A moment later he was gone. The
years had been many ana long since then, but no tidings ever came, and
Elspeth s hair grew white before the look of expectancy in her dear eyes changed to the calmness of resignation.
He was dead, of course. They had
heard of the wrecked ship. They had moved to a new home. They were only
waiting now he and Elspeth for the
Bummons whlcn should can tnem to
the happy reunion where there would
bo no sad good-byes and hearts forget
how to ache.
The first stroke of midnight sounded
and an Instant later the bells pealed
forth, while the old man sang with
trembling lips and voice that no one
heard but God as he had sung every
New Year since that one:
"Children of the Heavenly King, As ye Journey sweetly sing; Sing your Savior's worthy praise. Glorious in His works and ways." Then, as the last reluctant echo died
away, he stummed down tne narrow stairs toward home and Elspeth .
Not far from the tower stood a man
sion, where a great throng had assem
bled to watch the old year out and the new year in. Silken draperies rustled.
Jewels gleamed, music rippled on the
perfumed air, and happy voices rang
sweet and nign. uut every sound was silenced, and bright eyes grew dim in
tho flood of melody which suddenly
poured about the gay throng. They
crowded toward the music room, trying
to catch a glimpse of the player. Those
who were near saw a slender man, with
fair, curling hair brushed back from a
brow as pure as a woman s. Quietly
he sat beforcthe grand piano, playing
without tho slightest effort such mas
terful music as had hushed the listen
ers to awe-struck silence.
"Who is he?" vras the question
passed from one to another.
"He is a menu or iatners," tne
hostess told them. "Father met him
abroad some years ago, and by helping him In a search for some missing
friends won his heart. Father Invited
him here for the holidays this year.
but ho declined the Invitation, then this
evening suddenly and unexpectedly ap
peared. These great musicians are nl
ways eccentric, you know. I heard
him tell father that this Is an annl
versary he does not like to spend
alone."
At 11 o'clock the hostess seated her
guests In a circle, saying: "Now we will turn down the light and tell ghost
stories till mldngiht." The young peo-
nle fell in with the spirit of fun, and
nhosts walked, hobgoblins shrieked and

It was almost i ociock wne- c sow

the musician standing In the door.

ORIGIN OF X-MAS TREE. Emblem of Joyous Season is No Modern Institution. Most of us know that the Christmas tree comes direct to us from Germany. And we know of the tree worship of the Druids which obtained In England and France, and which probably had some Influence on the later use of the
tree In the Christian festival. Dut we
do not all know hat a similar festival
with the tree as a crowning feature la
observed among many heathen nations, and that It comes from sun worship,
which Is older than history. The re
vlval of the sun after the winter sol
stlce has ever been the subject of re
joicing and celebration by ceremonies
which represent the new light brought
back to the world. Our tree, with Its
small candles, its gilded knickknacks
and toys for the children, Is a direct
descendant of this old festival In honor
of the sun.
Traces of It exist In Ireland, where
the "service tree" Is found adorned
with burning lights during Christmas nlghL The English yule log is a faint
survival of this festival. But It Is be
yond these that I wish to draw your
attention, back further even than tho
Druid mysteries of the Gallic forests.
It Is to China, that home of all won
ders and of all history. It has been shown that as long ago as 247 B. C. a
tree with a hundred lamns and flowers
was placed on the steps of the autlieneo hall. This appears again in the rec
ords of Princess ang. who lived 13
755 A. D. .and who caused a hundred
lamp tree eighty feet high to be erect
ed on a mountain. It was lighted dur
Ing New Year's night and the illumlna
tion was seen for hundreds of miles,
eclipsing the light of the moon. This
candle tree Is no longer lighted In
Chnia, being replaced by an unusual
number of lanterns, which are hung
everywhere. A suggestion of the tree.
however, still survives In Japan. At
the new year two evergreen trees are placed without on either side of the
door. Their tops are tied together with
the sacred band of straw and various
objects, dried lobsters and oranges are
fastened to their branches. Woman's

he lower coast of tho State that an al-
Igator would not starve to death In a
jrlckyard. and from what I know of
he member I am certain he would not

gators eat brickbats, pine knots, old
dioes, and a few other things that aro jupposed to be a little hard on the dl-
estive system. Pine knots, as a food,

for he Is the star of the bunch. I do
not know why nature should navo

The glad, glad hells of morning, the
laughter at the dawn!
The lustre of the children's eyes Is fine
to look upon
But. oh. the best of Christmas the
best day of them all
Is when tho lazy firelight makes pic
tures on the wall,
And I may sit In silence and give my
self the boon
Of going back to boyhood, late Christ
mas afternoon.
Here I shall fall to musing of pictures
in the crate
There, eager for my summons the host
of boy days wait,
And In and out a-marchlng I'll see
them come and go
With hands waved high In welcome
the boys I used to know;
And there. If I am patient, 'twill be for
me to see,
As one sees in a mirror, the boy I used
to be!
Out of the swaying shadows will rise
the long ago.
The sleigh bells' tinkle-tinkle, the soft
kiss of the snow,
The white sea of the meadow, where
the pranking winds will lift
The long sweep of the billow foamed

And crisp across the valley will come
a bell-sweet tune
To set mo nodding, nodding, late
