"I don’t want to go to bed," com-
plained Jack. after his mother snap-
ped off the electric light and went
down stairs. "Everybody else sits up
at New Year’s Eve and I don't see why
I can't."
“You don't really want to,” pipezl a
small voice at his elbow.
"Why not?" demanded Jack.
“Because I couldn't see you then."
’ the small voice continued. “I go on
duty at twelve o‘clock for three hun-
dred and sixty-five day." and I’ve come
here to visit with you until then. I
am 1920. the New Year."
Jack lookeo ar-ound—~the room was
deserted. "Here I am," said the voice
and Jack glancing down at the pillow
saw the smallest. joliicst. happiest man
he had ever seen.
“You’and l. are going to. visit the.
home of Past Years." said the stranger.
The next instant Incl- found himself
with the small- man outside a huge
stone house on the top of a high hill.
which seemed to dominate the entire
world. He rapped on thedoor of the mas-
sive stone house. The door flew open.
Inside stood a lot of little ladies. and
gentlemen some of whom looked tamil~
iar to Jack. He asked his guide who
they were. New Year replied that
those in uniform were the "War Years."
1914, 1915, 1916. 1917 and 1918 and that
they were arranging a celebration to
honor the return ot‘ the Peace Year.

had he seen so many hideous, do
formed and ugly creatures. Whining
and screaming they fought continuous-
1y.
"“110 on earth are those horrid he-
ings?” said Jack. “and who is that one
leading them?"
"Those are the bad resolutions
which always return tc us just before
Christmas. when everyone on earth er;-
nhanges them for good resolutions."
The New Year pointed across the hall
to a cheerful miniature dormitory
which was deserted. “And that is the
Waco for the good resolutions which
return not kept."
“You mean they come hack here?"
"Yes." said 1920. “You have been
taught thrift in school. You know
thrift means wise satiny."
"i know all about it." said .lavlr.
“Our schoolroom has bought more

Suddenly Jack heard a noise which!
reminded. him of feeding time at. the
