"- and houses. Ab- ‘ " ner Ailing, a stern man of authority, stood at the window of lis kitchen on that morning, looking through the little panes of wrinkled glass, that he might discover whether the storm ' was over. Although a few flakes fluttered in the air, yet they began to glisten asthe rays of the sun that were breaking through the clouds fell upon them. and when Abner perceived that the day would soon be fine keenlied. saying. “Samuel! Samuel! Hear me!" ‘ A sinewy young man, of rosycheeks, and eyes that were bright because of health and exercise, put a huge log upon theyflre— place, and having brushed the snow from his arms, went to Abner that he might re- ceive his master's commands. “The magistrate will come by noon,l think, for the storm is over. Samuel, you must break a way through the snow upon . the highway at once. Take the stub corned oxen, for the steers are not yet heavy enough for such a snow as this. Having received this command, Samuel put on a fur cap and muffler, and with heavy mittens on his hands went away. “Surely the magistrate will not come today,” said a gentle woman. with soft ‘ spoken voice. “it is fifteen miles to New Haven when the roads are good, but with i this snow on them it will be as good as i twice as far." “VViil ’ not come, mother, did you say? Before the sun” was up the magistrate was on his way, I-trOw.” As he spoke. Abner, spying something that gave him interest, looked intently across the common. At last he said: “Come here, mother, and tell me if that is not the maid Dorothy that I see yonder in the doorway of Governor Leetc’s store." The wife went to the window, and .the sight that she saw caused her to be silent, longing to see more. Across the common, W yards away, stood the store where the governor of the colony, Mr. Leete, had his business. The wind had drawn the snow against one side of it so high that, with the overhanging fringe from the roof, there , was-formed a bank of white, broken in two places by the faint outlines of the win- dows. From the door, on another side, there was thrust a heavily hooded “ d that seemed to beslyly iookingeach ....y as if fearful of (liscm .wy. At one moment this head was thrust at, and then for an instant was withdrawn to be again put out a little farther. At last the door was opened wide and there stepped out into the drift the figure, of a woman. She was well wrapped and she milked with ease. ”fleet is Dorothy,” said Mother Ailing. “it is a-strange' performance” said Ab- ner. “Why does she come so slyly from the governor’s store at this early hour when the men have not yet all gone out to break the roads?" “She hasa bundle under her cloak. I knew that Dorothy was a maid disposed to be fond of frivolous things, but [did not think that she was sly,” said the mother. “To be sly means deceit: that is some- thing; that must be punished. Ah, there is Samuel with the oxen. He breaks the path well. But now he sees Dorothy, and will, i trow, stop and speak to her, for l have surmised, mother, that he likes that maid. too well." “He does, husband." “5.; long as he is my apprentice at the large and anvil he shall woo no maid, least of all this orphan, who, I greatly fear,with bur 3:12.: ways. does cause our governor to reins: his duty at times. He even permit- ted i:.-:- to wear a brooch upon the Lord’s day "i‘t’o must discipline the maid today. ’l‘rui'}, 5 wall summon her before the magis- tratr. 1 lie not; I will. See. Samuel is speaking with her." The girl had gone through the snow un- til she was near the meeting house, some sixty yards away from the store, and there tho. youn g man, Samuel, met her. He had seen. her as she came from the store, and 2- 1though her head was well hooded, yet the young man knew her as well as if he saw her eyes, that always greeted him, and her lips, that always bestowed upon him a smile. l-Ic turned the oxen, and with much goading forced them to break a path from t- .0 governor’s house, where the girl lived, to the place where he met her. Then he said to her: . . “Why, Master Samuel?"- “Whyl ' You know well why. You know what isto‘happen the-day I am my master, and so sweet do you appear this morning, to Dorothy, that I wish it was today, for I 1ave your promise to wed me on that day. Now tell me, how is it that you are out so early, and what is under your cloak l” . - “I will answer neither of your questions, Master Samuel. Are'yOu not content to have. me here? Come, put ine on the sledge, for I must be back to Mr. Iicete’s at once." The young man put his strong arms‘ gently about her and lifted her to the sledge, where she stamped the snow from her feet, and then, with an arm thrown around a stake,,she held securely on, while Samuel started the oxen away. Then he came and walked by her side. “Why did you peek so curiously from the door a moment ago!" he asked. ' , Sho'knew that he was half jesting, half curious. Showouid not answer him, but she said: “.Oh, Samuel, you made me for- get my purpose. I wish you a merry Christmas, air." He looked at her perplexed, wondering what she meant, for ' he had never heard these 'words before. and he knew that no one in the town had ever repeated them.‘ “What do you mean by that? What tiling is this you wish me—a merry Christ- mas? 'VVhatis that?” - ‘ ' . “It is Christmas day, Samuel,” said she softly. ' “I do not comprehend. It is Wednes- da .” , , ' ‘B‘r'i‘his day it was that Christ was born, and in the countries across the sea it is the habit of, the people to bring it to mind by saying as they meet, ‘I wish you a merry Christmas.’ ” .

' She put her hand pleadingly upon his. He perceived that, she was very thought- ful, and there was self rep-each in her tones as she said, “I cannot tell you now; I will some day, Samuel.” He made no answer, for he was per- plexed. They had now come abreast the gate of the governor’s house. He lifted her from the sledge and let her gently down upon the door step. An hour after Samuel returned to his home, having broken his share of paths. He put on his leather apron, rolled his sleeve over his mighty arm and blew a fire at the forge, and a moment later the music of the anvil revealed his energy. .. .....:...; -r.....:... .. SAMUEL AND DOROTHY. Deacon Abner went to him at once and reproved him. “You spoke too long with the maid. Samuel. break paths, not to chatter with a frivo ions young woman." “The paths are broken.” “What did you gad with the maid about? Tell me. Did she tell you why she went out into the snow so early?” “She did not. I asked her, would not tell." “Oh, there is some mystery. The maid is deceitful." “Nav. master, Dorothy is not deceitful. A lie: or on her lips.” but she _ ..,_........ “I will accuse her before the magistrate, and when the governor returns home I will narrate this thing she has done.” “There is no evil, I am sure: but there is some mystery. Tell me, muster, what does it mean when any person says, ‘I wish you a merry Christmas?’ She said a heavenly minded man had told her that." “Oh, she said that! What heavenly minded man? She is deceiving you, Sam- uel, and we will know the truth of it. Pay no heed to her words." Then Abner went away, and with mighty strides crossed the common, and having entered the house of Governor Leete de- manded that Dorothy be summoned. At this moment there entered the room a sweet faced maid leading a child with whom she was making merry, but when, looking up, she met the awful glance with which Deacon Abner received her she fai~ tered and stood waiting to hear him speak. ....... :11 ,‘ natal ' a. l A BRAVE DEFENSE. “Lie not to me,”‘said be, “for it will be even worse for you.” ‘ “I speak, the truth always or I speak not at all,” she said gently. “Then you will not deny that you were at the store this morning?" “No: I will not deny that.” “W'hat had you under your cloak?" “I cannot say.” - “You will say. Why were you there?” “I cannot tell.” “You said these words to Samuel, ‘1 wish you a merry Christmas.’ ” “Yes. I said those words.” ‘ “Well, who bade you a merry Christmas this day?” “I cannot tell you." “Did you not tell Samuel it was a heaven- ly man?” “Aye. That is the truth. I did not mean to sayso much, but I lie not." “IVho?” This word was uttered in thun- der tone. “I must not say.” She spoke gently,'but her tones were lirm, and when he saw that she would not reply hewent away, and at noon the magistrate had come. They came for Dorothy, and led her to the building whence she came so cautious- ly in the morning. Here was the office as well as the store of Governor Leete, and here the magistrate held court. There were two or three who had been convicted of offenses, and among these condemned Ab- ner placed the sweet faced maid. _ The magistrate listened to the accusations that Abner made, that she Was deceitful and had spoken lies, and when that was finished the magistrate said to her: “You have heard these accusations. Do you deny them?” . “In that I have said or done evil know- ingly I do; otherwise it has been as he has said." “Did you say a heavenly minded man had said to you. ‘I wish you a merry, Christmas!" " . “I said that. Itistrue;and he said,‘Be- ' ,joice, for if we rejoice in the death of Christ. for us we may rejoice in his birth.’ ” But she refused to tell who this man was or why she had slyly gone to the store that morning. The magistrate therefore, lock- ing sternly at her, said: ' “There is no doubt about it. You are guilty of a lie and deceit. You will be taken hence, and you will first receive ten lashw,‘and' after that will be put into the pillory for one hour, that your punishment may warn others and convince yourself." The girl seemed not to hear theselwords. l She put out her hand as if for support, and when some one grasped it she seemed not to know it. It was Samuel who had taken her hand, and he stood by her side. His face was white. room in time to hear the sentence. “Let me take her place. If punishment is needed I will bare my back to the, lush,- and sit in the stocks for her,” he said. “m C. ‘1‘- He had come into the “No, Samueiz” thus Domthyepoke. “You cannot take her piace,” . magistrate.

"Doyou wish told“ her!“ For if she is whipped it will kill her, and if her me.” - vathe magistrate and deputies” were amazed, for they had never before seen so strange a sight as this. so they consulted with each other what they should do, and they fixed upon a punishment for the young man. But when they looked up to pronounce sentence on him they saw an- other sight which amazed them even more; for there stood before them a man of strange appearance. His heard was as white as the snow and long, like that of a prophet. His hair fell upon his shoulders. His dress was concealed by a long cloak. 6h. , and he had placed one hand upon the head 3 of~the maid, while the other Was uplifted with admonitory gesture. When he spoke his voice was soft, but like one who has authority, and his manner was solemn, and not like the manner of any man whom they had ever seen. . “This child has done no evil," bebegan. "If there be evil done I did it, for I taught her this morning that for all who iovcour , Lord this is the day that commemorates his birth. To that blessed country where God reigns I soon, I trust, shall go, for I have kept the faith against such adversa- rice as you have never met. I warn you, oh, you proud magistrate, lift no arm of punishment against this child; for as truly as God reads all hearts he reads in a hers as sinless a record as mortals can ever I bade you go and i make. The judgment of God be upon you if you permit wrong to be done this child.” He spoke as one inspired, and as he stood with one hand uplifted he seemed like a prophet among them. '4 “Who are you l‘" the magistrate asked with hesitating voice. “God’s servant, and I say that this maid shall be blessed and her children shall rise and call her blessed, because she has this day served him.” When the magistrate and the deputies heard these words they spoke with one another for some moments, and when they lifted their eyes again the old man had gone as silently and mysteriously as he came. For an hour the magistrate and the deputies consulted together. Then the con- stable was commanded to take the girl and execute the sentence, but as he approached her Samuel put her behind him and faced the officei'. His look was terrible, and the constable knew the strength of his arm, so they stood silently facing one another. Suddenly a noise like the coming of horses was heard. The door opened and there entered some of the king’s officers, and with them the governor of the colony. Mr. Leete. “In his majesty’s name, if you know where Edward \Vhalley and William Gaffe, two of the judges who caused Charles the First to be beheaded, lie concealed I charge you to deliver them!” said an officer. “The regicides!" said the magistrate, speaking in broken tones. ' “Aye, the regicides. We have heard they are concealed here.” “Had one a venerable beard?” “Aye. William Gotfe.” “ ’Twas he, Cromwell’s general,” said the magistrate, as though speaking to himself. “ "i‘wns he,” said the deputies solemnly. Then Abner said to the officer, “One of I ' them was here an hour ago.” “But is here no longer,” said Governor‘. Leete, speaking for the first time. “These men came to me many days ago and asked for shelter. As I had not then received the king’s command to deliver them I permit- ted them to lie in the cellar beneath this room. For though I am loyal to the king I and my people honor Cromwell and his lieutenants. My maid Dorothy has for many days taken them food, and she and I alone knew of their presence. I charged her to tell no man. But when the king commands I obey, and I have brought the officers here. Yet I am glad to say that. within the hour, being warned of your coming, but not by me, they have escaped. You will see. their tracks in the snow, and they are now rapidly sailing in a vessel on the Long Island sound. What do you here, Dorothy?” “They have sentenced me to the lush, master, because I kept my promise to you, and ’twas this heavenly minded man who greeted me this morning with these words, ‘I wish you a merry Christmas.’ ” “To the lush?” “Yes, master.” , “And were about to administer it?” “But for Samuel they would already have whipped me.” “God be praised that this maid would have suffered the lush rather than betray either her word or these persecuwd and righteous men, Gofie and Whulley. She shall henceforth be not my maid but my daughter,” said the governor, embracing the girl. Then turning to the magistrate he Said: “I will remit her sentence, and because it is indeed the Christmas day I will remit the sentences of all these prisons ers. Let my house he opened this day. Let all come and make merry. It shall be made a merry Christmas for all, as I used to know it when I was a child in Eng- land.” And it was as the governor had ordered on that day and after. And then thrbngh Dorothy Deal’s suffering and pearl! there began in that colony the habit, as in other . lands, of merry making and good cheer upon Christmas day. , , The prophecy of the reglcide Goflewas fulfilled. The children of Samuel and Dorfi othy became men of authority, and they, did call her blessed. E. J. EDWARDS. .

Fora month before Christmas every: pious Greek has observed a” rigid fast, “yea-traveler, oonseQnently the “table," which on that day is spread in every house. produces something akin to-fes-' tivity. - . My friends. of the evening before - begged me to sit down and partake of the meal that they had prepared. It was somewhat of a struggle to me, I must own, for I expected it would not be served in very magnificent style." Still, I was not prepared for what actu- ally happened. On a small round table was placed a perfect mountain of macaroni and cheese —not such cheese as we are accustomed to put with ours, but coarse sheep’s milk cheese, which stung my mouth like mustard, and left a pungent taste therein which tarried there for days. Then there were no plates, no forks, no spoons. The master of the house had a knife with which he attacked the dish, and the one which on ordinary occasions fell to the mistress was now kindly placed at my disposal. As for the rest of the family, they were an example of the adage that fingers were made before forks. and these fingers grew perceptibly cleaner as the meal progressed. What a meal it was. indeed; as if it were a contest in gastronomic activity. Yet it was pleasant to see the appetite E with which great and small entered into the contest and filled their mouths to overflowing with the savory mass. I was left behind in the contest, and had, I fear, to tell many untruths concerning my appetite and the excellence of the dish, and great was my relief when it was removed and dried fruits and nuts took its place. , To drink we had resinated wine-that is to say, wine which had been stored in a keg covered with resin inside, which gives the flavor so much relished by the Greeks, but which is almost as unpalata- ble to an Englishman as beer must be to those who drink it for the first time. The wine, however, had the effect of loosening the tongues of my friends, who had been too busy as yet to talk, and they told me many interesting Christ mas tales. —Exchange. ’ A Christmas with Edwin Booth. “I remember a Christmas I spent in Mr. Booth’s company many years ago,” said a young theatrical manager in the ' foyer. “He had bought a summer resi- dence at Cos Cob, Conn., the previous summer, and invited me up to play Santa Claus and do the chimney act. His property was a fair sized' little promontory of land, bounded on one side by the Connecticut river, on the other side by Long Island Sound, and the New York and New Haven tracks formed the baseline. If there isany one road affected by tramps it is that same New Haven road, and when I arrived, two or three days before Christmas, there was a line of them waiting their turn at the gate that reminded me of a highly successful advance sale, one tramp near the gate even offering to-sell his advanced position for ten cents. Booth was much worried about the dan- gerous looking fellows, and it struck me that a dog would be highly appropriate as a gift. “I wired to a friend in New York, and the day before Christmas the biggest Siberian bound 1 ever saw was waiting at the little station for me. Booth was tickled to death, and we managed to chain that dog just inside the main gate near the lodge, and then we shook hands. It was an awful big dog, bigger than a little donkey that arrived on the next train with a go-ca-rt as a. present to his little daughter Edwina. Well, we fixed up the presents that night. I dressed up in fur rugs and traps as Santa Claus, and had arranged to drive the donkey into the reception room and distribute the : gifts from the well laden go-cart. The dog was to remain in the little shed we had extemporized for him, but he didn’t. He was there on business, and he attend- ed to it promptly. The chain broke like a piece of twine and I broke for the bal- cony, Which. I just managed to reach from the cart. Of course there was a racket, and I got into the window, and ' by the time we had armed ourselves with antique swords and a revolutionary mus. ket the noise had subsided sufficiently . for us to venture forth. The dog, was just seen in the moonlight disappearing over the stone wall, thousands of dollars' worth of presents were scattered in the deep snow, and donkey meat and fur were lying an inch deep over the three acres of the Booth premises. The Sibe- rian bloodhound had torn the donkey to atoms.”—Chicago Tribune. , ‘ y , . _ Not All Over. Frost-é-Weil, it’s all over. snow—'What’s all over? Frost-Christnms.
