Tv < remember clear¬
ly,’’ he said slowly, as if gathering his
memories together, after lighting a
big fat cigar, "was passed at the home
of old Deacon Mallory. I was G or 7
years old. and by the same token it
must have been 40 years or more ago.
“You must know’ that I was a coun¬
try minister’s son. My father’s charge
included a wooden meeting house,
built on the Greek temple pattern, and
half a dozen little red schoolhouses
perched on the steep hillsides and nes¬
tling in the deep valleys of one of the
most northeasterly counties of Penn¬
sylvania. All through that region the
pater was known as ‘the elder,’ and the
deacons of the church organizations to
which he ministered took turns enter¬
taining tl>e elder and his family on
Christmas. As a rule, our Christinas
visits included Christmas eve and two
or three days thereafter, and so it was
this time.
“Deacon Mallory lived ten good miles
away from the story and a half brown !
house that stood in the edge of a tre¬
mendous big piece of pine and hem¬
lock timber where we lived, and, there
being two feet of snow on the ground, j
we had to cover the ton miles in a nut¬
ter hauled by Croolcfoot, looking as my father j
called the ungainly young
horse fie drove in making his widely
scattered pastoral calls. The day be¬
fore Christmas was clear and sun¬
shiny, but bitter cold, that year, and I !
shall never forget the ride to the dea
con’s.
“At first our road was on the lee side
of a great tree crowned ridge. Shelter- :
ed, as we then were, from the bitL.g I
wind, we scarcely realized how low the j
temperature was, and, the path being |
well packed, Crookfoot ‘ took us over !
the snow at a lively clip, the hells jin- 1
gling merrily with every step. Here
and there the road passed through deep
cuts iu the drifts between pure white
frigid walls of snow, sometimes eight
and ten feet high. These walls had |
been inscribed with many curious in- j
scriptious and rude pictures, which in- j
terested me very much as we drove
along, though 1 had never heard a
word of the newly named science of
graffito logy.
“I was intently studying some of
the pictures and inscriptions when my
father told me to look ahead and then
get ready for what I saw coming. As
he spoke he pointed to the brow of the J
hill up which we were driving. There
I saw the snow drifting in a fine.
white, sandlike state.
“ ‘The wind is blowing up there,
sonny, and it won’t be as pleasant
when we get to the top as it is by any
means. Wrap your comforter close
about your ears, my boy, or they’ll he
frozen sure ’
“Bv the time I was ready for the
it, a id to. t - I
an hour we all, including Crookfoot,
had plenty to do to keep the breath of
life agoing. The snow was drifting
wildly, and of the track, so well heat
on in the sheltered part of the road,
not a vestige was to be seen. By the
time we bad got over the broad back
of the bill and down mto tbe ,i 0} m
which the deacon’s house was situated
the human beings in the party were
i more than half frozen, while Crook
foot was nearly exhausted. Once in the
shelter again, however, we quickly

thawed out. aud by the time we reacli-
ed the deacon’s we were all in fairly
comfortable shape again.
“Our stay at the deacon’s made quite
as great an impression on my memory
as the journey there. The deacon
owned a sawmill and did a general
lumbering business—not one of the
great steam mills, with circle saws, of
later years, but a primitive mill, with
upright saws, operated with an old
fashioned undershot water wheel, i
spent the afternoon in the mill watch¬
ing the logs as they were l'ed to tin?
rasping saw, which slowly, though
steadily, ate its way from end to end.
producing a bright, fresh, new piau’i
with every journey of the carriage.
“That night 1 slept with two of the
deacon’s boys and in a trundle bed for
the first and last time of my life. Wo
boys talked about what we should
find in our stockings till late in the
night.

A STOCKING LUNCHEON

The following description of a Christ i

of entertaining their fra uds at Christ
runs time. It was given last year by
j a young woman to the members of hoi
club, and as ail were full of the mor !
rin cuts of the Christmas season they
thoroughly enjoyed the t'uu prepared j
for them.
The decorations iu the dining room,
more especially of the table, were a
original as they were appropriate to
the occasion. Stockings were hero,

and decorations as much ns possible re¬
’ peating that form.
Covers were laid for l.">. In front j
of each a jolly oi.l Santa Claus, made
of. confectionery, was weighted down. \ I
not by his usual pack, but by a red
stocking containing delicious candies. I

white card edged with gilt, had an ar¬
tistic sketch of a chimney hung with
stockings; below, a suitable greeting, j
and on the other side a name and date j
