The Widow Stately had been fc widow even when she came into that ljttle nook in the foothills with her son Frahfe, a winsome lad of fourteen or thereabouts. Here they had “dug .in” with their little herd of heifers, and Frank had plowed the valley field for oats and potatoes, and, with the help of a carpenter, they had built the house of spruce logs where a mountain, stream gurgled lullabies in the still nights. At the end of the six years they were on their feet. The fields had ex tended ; the herd had grown; the cream cans went down to town three times i a week; there wgs new furniture, in ! the log house and a lilt of song agatn in the widow’s heart. But one new pang was hers; mother love could not quite stifle the pang when her hand some Frank rode out with the yellow haired Allison girl from south of the ridge. At the end of that same six years came the war. And now the Widow Stately is doubly a widow, and the Allison girl is old before her time. Down the valley a mile or more live the Freedmans. And Freddie Freed man, at fourteen, unhappily runs to mischief, as the sparks fly upward. Was it not Freddie who left the Stately gates open at Halloween? Was it not | Freddie who unbolted the reach1 in the widow’s wagon? Who but Freddie transposed the front and rear wheels of her buckboard? Who but Freddie shot the wild ducks which she was taming, and drank cream in her dairy when she had gone to town? And tonight, as a’ blanket of Christ mas snow carpets the foothills and the valley, the widow returns1 from town with fier melancholy parcels foT Christ mas cheer. Tonight the fire will bum on her hearth, and strange visions will wax and wane in the glow of embers; visions of the First Frank and the Sec ond Frank, and a nightmare of horror A Blanket of Christmas Snow Carpets the Foothills and the Valley. ■; at Vimy Ridge, The fire will die out, and Christmas will creep in, wan and cheerless and alone. But as she drives up by the log bouse she sees a sturdy young figure at work In the woodshed, and—can she be dreaming?—the spruce logs at the rod of the house have been cut and piled for the winter’s burning. And the sturdy young figure comes out and takes her horses by the head. ' “Let me put your team away while you go in and warm yourself, Mrs. Stately,” said a voice. “See, I have started a fire for you.” So like Frank it seemed that she dared not'break the spell. Without a word, she sank in the rocker by the fire. But he was so long In coming that at length she went to the door. The sturdy figure' was just disappearing down the road in the gray cloud of night. ■ “Who are you? Who are you?” she called after him. "I am the Spirtt of Christmas,” he answered. : And then she knew his voice. "You’re not I” she laughed. "You’re Freddie Freedman I” • ****'•* ! Friend Husband had had a busy day at the office and Friend Wife had moped all day at home, i It seemed to Friend Wife that her . husband took his office duties alto .gether too complacently. For a time after -they were married he always ;was home before six.; now be was fre We Do Good Job Work [properly dl What worried her most* 'W. & | So intend Wife learned f® jmdi 'little, and to chaplain a little, and id wonder a gobd dftal. And tfcie mbrd ehe moped and complained the less did Friend Husband hurry-Irttia jbhfi office. The office had become his re* treat. < Moreover, there was the Party Of the Third Part Friend Wife had never seen the Party of the Third Part, but she could not doubt her existence. For a year back her hus* band had forgotten to kiss her when' lie went to the office, and When he ; came home. And on those rare nights when he stayed at home be read the newspaper, and yawned, and found the- ! time heavy on his hands. So you see there must be a Party Of the Third Part. This fear gripped the little woman so deeply that one night she deter mined she would know the worst. Her husband had not come home to dinner; he li&d telephoned that he was very busy In the office. He would Just slip out and have a bite. And he would likely be late—don’t Sit up , . * She would know the truth 1 So she put on a long cloak, and a veil affair that she could draw over j There at the Eng Sat an Oldish Man. ■ It Was Her Husband! 1 * , ,] ,her face, and she went straight to his j office in time to intercept him before j he left for his appointment. A light i shone through the frosted doors, but 1 all inside was silent as the tomb. ’ “He has gone already!” she ex- ' claimed to herself. Then she gently' ^ tried the door. It opened to her hand, j Her eyes swept‘k vista of deserted j desks. How forlorn and irksome they < looked! But everyone was gone. No! 1 There at the end sat an oldish man. 1 It was her husti’hnd! It had never struck her before that her husband ' was beginning to be an oldish man. He 1 had not heard her. He was intent over j a statement with long columns of fig- : ures, and he wast making calculations " on a pad of paper before him. \ From whete She" Stood she could see the gray tinge about his temples, and the thinning hair on the top of his head. His brow was set in deep fur rows. And suddenly Friend Wife found herself swatfowing desperately at something in.jper throat. Suddenly she knew that there was no Party of the Third Part, and ue\er had been a Party of the-Third Part, and that she was a foolish, wicked woman. : She drew the door gently shut In t the basement of the building was a restaurant, where also was a waller who, for a consideration, would carry a meal to her husband’s office. Quickly she gave the order, for two; it was to be a modest meal, not too expensive, but healthful, and garnished with love. The waiter carried It in and set it i down on the little correspondence table i beside Friend Hhsbattd’s desk. And ! a beautiful woman sat down beside: it, j and held out her hands to the troubled ! man with The long column of figures, and smiled. “Who are you? Who are yon?” he demanded. , “I am the Spirit of Christmas," she said. : "You are more than that!” he cried. “You are my wife . , , toy , , , my love!” (©. 192S, Western Newspaper Union ) r-—»» THE HOUSE OF CHRISTMAS To an open hohse In the evening Home shall men comp, ■■ To an older place than Eden 1 And a taller town than Borne.

Moore, pioneer leader of the Ohio Mine Workers, and for the past five yebrs president of the State Federation of Labor, died at his home in Columbus December 7 from an illness contracted last September. *‘Jbtek” More, as he was affection ately Called by organized labor throughout fee state, rose by sheer dint of>obility from fee ranks of the miners through various executive po sitions to the leadership of the .stated labor forces. He was essentially conservative— so much so that he hastened his death by leaving his sick bed to make a speech at the last convention of the federation against resolutions favoring a labor party and the rec ognition of Russia. President Moore is succeeded by Vice President John G. Owens, now secretary of the Cleveland Federa tion of Labor, one of the largest local labor union bodies in the coun try.
