Dan had been an orphn, IIoi

Marie and a great cpltween
had sprung up
them. She had since been adopted by
a kindly family in the East, but had
always kept in touch with her old
friend, Danny.
Now the Invitation for Christmas.
Dan had never been invited anywhere
for this one great
\j. holiday an d his
ways had a most
pleasant Christmas
Many generous per-

Christmas eelebra-
leaped with joy.
“Wonder how it will be! Wonder
who’ll be there! Oli boy, I can’t wait!”
“Let’s see,” pondered Dan. “How old
is Rose Marie? She was twelve when
she left and that was five years ago.
Why she must be seventeen, and a
young lady! Wonder how she looks!
Wonder If she still blinks those hazel
eyes and shakes her ‘molasses candy'
hair about like she used to do.”
Some days later an atmosphere of
complete Christmas joy pervaded the
cozy home of the Gaylords on East
End avenue. The turkey was sizzling
In the oven and the great variety of
Tule cookies were being frosted and
tinted with the Christmas colors.
Some hours later, all was a hushed
silence as the little family seated about
the lighted tree awaited the guest of
the evening.
Soon there were footsteps crunching
the snow and the next moment the
loud peal of the doorbell.
Father met Dan with the cordial
welcome of ‘‘Merry Christmas, my boy.
I presume this is Danny—our Rose’s
old friend from Rye Junction.”
Then Mother and Rose Marie, their
faces wreathed in Christmas smiles,
reached for Danny's outstretched
hands, simultaneously.
Danny had never In all the movies
beheld anyone as lovely as Rose Marie.
“Why, Rose Marie, ,!v*3jjSra
you are wonderful,
simply wonderful!
The same eyes, the
same hair, oh, I—”
“Here, here, you Aoy Iv ‘
young people, you
are forgetting it’s

Christmas. Dan!
Merry Christ mas,
Rose Marie!” shout-
Dad.
Then followed an
“honest to good¬

a real home.
Everywhere Danny’s eyes rested, It
teemed to say In golden letters, Mer¬

have been the burden of the intimate
things of which the mother sang when
the restless world was shut away and
the two, closely entwined, communed
together, with the knowledge of their
destiny hovering about them. Did she
sing Him tender baby songs that made
no reference to His divinity or did
she praise Him as her God and sing
her fidelity as she held Him close and
soothed His earthly weariness? Did she
beg of Him to spare her the suffering
she knew awaited them or did she en

In the life of Christ there must have
been much music. Descended from the
greatest singer of all times, the psalm¬
ist David, and His advent Into the
world proclaimed by the singers from
His heavenly home, there was a human
and divine heritage of music woven
Into the scheme of His existence on
earth. In the childhood years of the
Lord, what were His childish pleasures,
what were His childish songs? Was
the soul of the young Kaviour too sad
for singing or did He fashion Himself
songs from a heavenly source whisp¬
ered by angels or did He sing the songs
of His people heard on the lips of His
companions? In the synagogue did He
praise His Father after the manner of
David and to the tune of the lute and
was His sacred voice heard when He
read from the scriptures. The songs
the Saviour sang have vanished.
Tet the music of that sacred time
is not lost, for It Is born again In the
hearts of the great composers. Bit by
bit the melody that was heard the first
Christmas night has come back to us
distilled from the peris of the specially
chosen, and who Is there to say it Is
not akin to the music of the celestial
choirs? The inexplicable urge of mel¬
ody, the grandeur of musical thought,
the loftiness of Inspiration must sure¬
ly be from the same source as was
the music that was heard but once on
earth.
It was not without intent that the
message of peace was sent out on the
“wings of song,” for that is the power
of music—to bring peace. Nor waa It
by chance that the melody came from
the heavens, for ever the Inward eye*
of the soul turn heavenward under
the Influence of great earthly music.
The heart radiance under the of . the touch star^shinesJn of melody and the
the soul expands to a fuller compre¬
hension of the promises for eternity

But the second judge was not so

He took the ground that Harrison’s
nonappearance after six months was
proof iiositive that he had been killed.
So the family was convicted atj
executed.
Soon after the execution one ol
residents of Gloucestershire received
an anonymous letter hinting that Wil¬
liam Harrison 1 was still alive.
Then came another story that he
was in Turkey. All of these rumors
were treated as mere gossip until three
years later when the door of the local
Inn was opened and William Harrison
entered the room.
He said that after he had collected
the rents, as usual, he was beset by
a gang of thieves, and the cash taken
from him.

robbery. #

They had given him drugged liquor.
After this a gang had carried him
aboard a vessel.
When he recovered consciousness he
found that he was on his way to Tur¬
key.
He had lived there for two years.
When he was asked why he had
not communicated with his friends, he
said that he feared that they would
not believe his story, and as he was
unable to make good the money that
had been stolen from him he had de¬
layed his return as long as possible.
Since that day—over two centuries
ago—no man has been tried for mur¬
der in England without first proving

Saxby’s Gale
Saxby’s Gale is the name given to a
violent storrn, which occurred on Oc¬
tober 4, 1869, on the coast of New
Brunswick, Maine and Nova Scotia.
It was accompanied by a tide of ex¬
traordinary height. The storm, which
apparently came up from the West In¬
dies and caused heavy rains In eastern
United States, was called Saxby’s Gale
because a Lieutenant Saxby of the
British navy had announced a year
previously that a great storm and high
wou ](j occur on October 5. The
prediction had been based on the sup-
posed influence of the moon, but It was
entirely Indefinite as to the place
where the storm would occur.
