amongst the nuns. "A breeze of

At' the head marched Winfried
clad in tunic of fur. Close be
side him, keeping step like a fa
miliar comrade, was the Young
Prtuce Gregor. ;''
: Behind the leaders came a pair'
of, teamsters guiding a rough
sledge, loaded with food', 'Cast
of all came the rear guard arm
ed with bows and javaliris.
The travellers were surround
ed by an, ocean of trees. "
. .Woulds't thou not camp here,
said:.Gregor. Nay, said 'the
father, we must go on.
And so he wink the trees that
Had fallen in the way, they pres
sed on until they came to a vil
Jage.of houses but also silent and
atul. though the Silvery moon
shed its wierd light over all.
They passed it'arid oh thi-ough
the deep forest until they came
to a huee oak tree that crowned
a knoll, v Here, cried Winfrled, is
the .Thunder Oak and here the
Cross Of Christ shall break the
hammer of the false God.Thor,
' A' great throng of people bad
fathered around a . great fire
whose smoke obscured the moon.
'The' travellers paused lor a
while at the edge of the thicket
and took counsel together. ,.
It is, an assembly of the tribe of
which I had news three days ago
said one of the foresters.
They will feacH8ceira horse,
drink the blood and eat its flesh
to make them strong. It is at
the peril of our lives if we go
near. '. Nay, said Win'ried. Hide
me no cross, for I have come to
show it and to make these blind
people see its power.
Then Winfried's voice rang
out, '.'Hail, ye sons of the forest!
A'stranger claims the warmth
of 'your fire in the winter night."
'Who are you?". . said the old
prest." "Your kinsman in the
brotherhood from far off England
and a message I have from the
11' Father whose messenger 1
am.': . '' .
' ' What miracles do you work?
None have what he has done by
his Son-. .

A uugtuy rumoliag noise came
overhead and seized the mighty
oak and laid it low. And here
his eye Xell ou a. young fir tree
strait and green.-. Here is the
living tree, said he... No more

So thev. took- the little fir tree

The - boy's father, Cbiefton
Gundbar, leaned upon his spear
until it craqked.
His wife,. Irnia, bending for

women pushed back the -golden

The old man stooped to lift a

he whirled it through the air. It
paused for ah jlnstant above the
child's fair fcead then turned to

One keen cry shr-lled out

: Winfried lifted himself high
above the altar and drew a roll
of parchment from his bossom.
A letter from the great Bishop
of Borne. :'-;""-' -' . - " "' '
.-A -munnur of 1 awe. swept
through iua Assembly .-.
It was a splendid message,

Then Winfried: stood beside
the chair of Gundbar and told
the story ;of. fBethlehem; of the
br be in the manger, of the shep
herds On the bills, of the host of
angels and their midnight song.
Ail the people listened, charmed
into silence. ..
But the boy, .Bernherd, on
Irma's knee, folded in her soft
arms, grew. restless as the story
lengthened and began to prattle
soitly at bis mother's knee.
Mother, whispered the child,
why did you cry out so loud,
when the priest was going to
send me to Valhalla?
Qh hush, my child, answered
the mother and pressed him clos
er to her side. ...
Mother, whispered the child;
agaib laying his finger on the
stain upon her breast, see, your
dress is red! What are those
stains?. Did some one hurt you?
The mother closed his mouth
with a kiss. Dear, be still, listen!
The boy obeyed. His eyes were
hea-y with sleep. But he heard
tlie last' words Of Winfried as he
spoke of the angelic messengers
flying 'over -the huls. of Judea
and singing as they flew.
The child wdnderedand dream
ed and' listened-. J Suddenly his
face; grew bright.- He put tys
hps close to' Irma s cheek again.
Ql.VmbthinYtte whispered very
low, do not speak:' Do you near
them? These angels have come
back again.' - They--are singing
