GRANDMOTHER'S CHRISTMAS.
Marion sank limply in a ('hair and burst out, " O h , Grandmother,
when you were my age, were you always tired and discouraged when
Christmas came—not witli what others had done for you, but with
yourself?"
Grandmother laughed and said, " Well, dear, of course we did
ever so much differently at Christmas time when I was young than
they do now, I don't ever remember tiring myself out in the same
way you do—shopping and going to parties, but I do remember one
("hristmas which cauie near being the greatest disappointment I ever
had.
" W e lived way out in the country then, a good two days' journey
fi'om town in the winter time. My mother always had my father go
to town and get the last fixings for Christmas, just a few days beforeliand, so that the children would not discover them. Then on the day
before Christmas, when he was home, the fun began. The tree was
set up and trimmed, and everything was made ready.
" T h i s Christmas my father went to town a few days earlier than
usual. The day before he was to start home there was a dreadful
snow storm. At home, we older children worried and fussed for fear
father would not be able to get home in time. W e even finally decided
that it wouldn't be very bad to do without tlie presents he might be
lu'iuging, if we could only have him home. AYhat would Christiruis
be without father?
" T h e storm continued; and finally on the day before Christmas,
mother said to us older cliildren:
" 'Now, children, if father does get home he will be late, so 1
think we had better get right to work and get everything ready, just
as though he were here. If he doesn't get here, we can postpone our
Christmas for a few da vs.'

PRIVATE RENDEN'S CHRISTMAS EVE.
The snow had fallen incessantly f o r several hours w h e n an unusually long r a i l w a y train entered the city of L o n d o n on Christmas
l']ve., 1917.
its passengers eomi)osed a c o n t i n g e n t of some three hundred A m e r i c a n and English soldiers on a f u r l o u g h f o r the holidays.
A s the train slid along ll'.e slippery t r a c k s into the station, the welcome
cries of " C h a r i n g ( r o s s " reached the ears of the soldiers, and they
res])onded to the announcement of the arrival with hmd cheers.
The
doors of the cars wei-e opened and they passed out into the C h a r i n g
Cross terminal. F r o m there sonu' went into the streets and s u b w a y s ,
some to the A m e r i c a n Y . M. C. A., while still others pursued their w a y
to their own homes.
There w a s h o w e v e r one a m o n g them w h o differed f r o m the rest
of the crowd in nuinner and actions a l t h o u g h in a p p e a r a n c e he bore a
likeness to the others. This f e l l o w w o r e the u n i f o r m of a British private. T h o u g h somewhat stout he w a s w e l l proportioned because of
his height f o r he was v e r y tall. He had a s t r o n g f a c e and prominent
cheek-bones like those of an A m e r i c a n Indian. His eyes were blue
and clear and his hair and complexion f a i r . His maimer w a s serious
and t h o u g h t f u l . A f t e r entering the depot, he made his w a y to a telephone booth. He called up the home of his f a t h e r . S i r D a v i d Renden,
2Iember of Parliament, and personal f r i e n d of the king. W h i l e he
Avas w a i t i n g f o r the Central office to nuilce the connection, his experiences of the pa«t three y e a r s flashed q u i c k l y t h r o u g h his troubled
brain.
James Renden, or Jimmy Renden, as his fi'iends called him, had
!)eon one of the most popular members of the ultra-smart set w h i c h
I'epresented " L o n d o n L i f e . " In fact, he had been too p o p u l a r f o r he
had become so end)arrassed financially that he had f o r g e d some checks
w i t h his f a t h e r ' s signature. A s an ultimate result of this, he had been
disowned b y his parent and forced to t a k e r e f u g e in the r a n k s of the
enlisted. His hardships in the trenches w e r e of sonu' value f o r they
made a nuin of him.
A month previous to his preseiit arrival in Ijondon J i m m y had
been taken pi-isoner by the (lermans in a hand to hand tight. He had,
however, nuifle good use of his time anu)ng them. He uiulerstood the
Cei'inan langiuige, so, consequently, instead of sending him to a prison
camj). they set him to w o r k s e r v i n g cheese, beer, and other refreshiiUMits to Gernmn oiTicers in head(iuarters behind the firing-line. One

that lie had ijistnicted his associates in L o n d o n to destroy the " B r i t t a j i i a , " a great man-of-war, before it l e f t p o r t on Christmas E v e .
J i m m y ' s reason f o r coming home t h a t n i g h t a f t e r his d a r i n g escape to
the British lines was to w a r n his f a t h e r or some other a u t h o r i t y , w h o s e
influence w a s unquestioned, of the plot. He hoped against hope t h a t
his f a t h e r would receive him.
A s sucli t h o u g h t s passed t h r o u g h his mind, the answer in the
phone receiver came, antl he asked to s p e a k w i t h his sister Pklith.
W h e n she spoke, J i m m y , m a k i n g an a t t e m p t at j o l l i t y , said, " H e l l o ,
kid sister, h o w ' s e v e r y little t h i n g out home ? "
There was a pause, a startled gasp, before she replied, " I ' m
a w f u l l y glad to hear f r o m you. J i m m y ; hut I can H t a l k now. F a t h e r ' s
in the next r o o m . "
" W e l l now listen ; I nuuin what 1 say.
Do y o u think the g o v e r n o r
w o i d d listen to something v e r y important that I h a v e to tell him ? "
" A V h y , J i m , " she replied, " y o u k n o w t h a t c a n ' t be. T w o u l d n ' t
even dare to ask him to listen to a n y t h i n g y o u m i g h t h a v e to s a y . "
J i m m y ' s temper overcame him, and he a c t u a l l y shouted into the
mouth-piece, " A l l right then ! B u t y o u m a y g i v e the g o v e r n o r m y
compliments. A n d get this ! Tell him if he e v e r w a n t s a n y important government information, he k n o w s w h e r e to go f o r i t . "

H a i l i n g a cab he instructed the d r i v e r to t a k e him to the home of the
(^'hief of l^olice. F i v e minutes l a t e r he stood in the reception room
of the C h i e f ' s home.
" M a y I speak with the chief ? " he inquij-ed.
The butler retui-ned shortly and announced that his E x c e l l e n c y
w a s indisposed since he w a s s u f f e r i n g f r o m a severe headache.
' ' H e a d a c h e or no headache 1 must see h i m , ' ' said J i m m y .
Rut his
efforts Avere in vain.

still f a l l i n g in huge Hakes; and, as he looked at the g r e a t croAvds and
listeneci to the tiinuilt of the city, the thought came to him that no
nuittei' Avhat sliould bo the i)rice if it lay in his power (and it did) ti»
do " h i s b i t " in a heroic w a y . he must do it.
l i e hastened to the great wluirvcs which run the length of L o n d o n
on the Thames. H u r r y i n g a l o n g the w h a r v e s , he came to a place
w h e r e several British and interned Gei'iuan liners lay. F a r t h e r on he
heard the blasts of g r e a t whistles. It w a s here that the " B r i t t a n i a "

J i m m y hailed a nuin with a motor-i)oat and offered him a sovereign if he would convey him to the man-of-war. He agreed, and

to one corner w h e r e a mass of rubbish w a s collected, and gave it a
kick. He stepped back in silence, petrified. J i m m y w a l k e d o v e r to
the spot and peered o v e r the c a p t a i n ' s shoulder. Upon the floor in a

A CHRISTMAS STORY.
This is a story of a boy, a cat, and a lonely old lady.
A s n i g h t came on, the snoAV continued to fall, and the w i n d blew
with a c u t t i n g blast. The cat w a s disgusted. She hated the snow,
and she was tired. B e h i n d her, s l o w l y t r u d g i n g along, came the boy.
He w a s tired, too, luit he must reach the toAvn that night. He had no
other place to go. He had come down from the little settlement in the
mountains to find w o r k , and he had not found it. The toAvn was still
a good ten miles aAvay, and he nuist sleep some place.
S t u m b l i n g in the snow, he discovered the cat. Upon a sudden
impulse, he picked her up and carried her on Avith him. A l i g h t
ahead I The light seemed to give him lU'w strength, and he contiiuunl
on his w a y .
In a great house along the lonely road, sat a very lonely old l a d y
in fi'ont of a g l o w i n g fireplace. Only t w o Christmases ago the house

had r u n g with l a u g h t e r . B u t that was t w o y e a r s ago. N o w , on this
Christmas, there was, as a reminder of the f u n of those days, t w o
pictures in silver f r a m e s o v e r the f i r e p l a c e ; and one of these w a s
draped in black. T w o y e a r s a g o her eldest g r a n d s o n had broken his
n e u t r a l i t y and gone to fight. She had let him go, f o r the I l a n o v e r s
had a l w a y s been in all wars. N o w she had only a picture, a silver
Cross, and the k n o w l e d g e that he had b r a v e l y died. W h e n w a r w a s
declared, she had said n o t h i n g w h e n the other wished to go. The fire
died down. She w o n d e r e d w h e t h e r her g r a n d s o n ' s f a t h e r looked
d o w n upon his only l i v i n g son. W h e n the f a t h e r had died, he had
g i v e n her the trust of his nu)therless s o n s ; and she w o n d e r e d if she had
done well.
She was g o i n g s l o w l y out of the room and up the great staii^s,
when a timid k n o c k sounded in the silent hall. W h o could it be ? A
C hristmas visitor 1
Jnipossible now.
T h e maid opened the door
before M a d a m H a n o v e r descended the stairs. On the steps stood a
w e a r i e d and cold boy, h o l d i n g a huge cat. The cat noAV seemed contented w i t h life, and j u m p i n g out of the b o y ' s arms, ran to M a d a m and
rubbed against her skirts.
The boy e x p l a i n e d w h y he h a d rung.
Could he sleep in the barn ? He w a s cold and h u n g r y and v e r y tired.
A k i n d l y t h o u g h t came to the old lady. T u r n i n g to the maid she said,
" G e t him something to eat, and tell Nellie to get M a s t e r R a l p h ' s room
r e a d y . " The maid s t a r t e d and gasped, "jNFaster R a l p h ' s r o o m ! "
M a d a m did not p a y a n y attention to her. She led the boy into the
w a r m sitting room, and the maid hastened to obey. The boy entered
and glanced around. His eyes Fell on the i)ortraits, r e v e r e n t l y on the
one draped Avith black, and e n v i o u s l y on that of tiu^ l a u g h i n g sailor
boy. M a d a m H a n o v e r ' s eyes f o l l o w e d his gaze. " M y g r a n d s o n s , "
w a s all she said.
A s the boy h u n g r i l y ate the lunch prepared f o r hiiu, .Madam told
him the story of R a l p h ' s death and of the Cross he had won in F r a n c e ;
told it to someone f o r the first time since that f a t a l letter had come.
Then she told him of the l a u g h i n g sailor boy. " Y o u remind me of
h i m , " she said. " Y o u must be about his age. W h e n y o u came in, I
almost t h o u g h t he had come back, altliough I kn(;w that w a s imposs i b l e . " The boy told of his search foi- w o r k and his discovei'v of the
cat.
A s he finished, the tall clock struck twelve. " M e r r y C h r i s t m a s , "
said Madam, and, as the l)()y t u r n e d to f o l l o w the w o n d e r i n g nuiid u p
the stairs, she added, " W h a t do you intend to do to-iuorrow 1 S t a y
here with me. it w o u l d seem like h a v i n g my sailor D i c k ba(!k. He
^\'as only eighteen A\'heri he w e n t . ' '
" I ' m eighteen, t o o , " the l)oy said simply, " a n d I ' m g o i n g to
f o l l o w him, ]\ra'am ; that is, if t h e y ' l l t a k e m e . " His voice broke. " [
c a n ' t thank you, Ala'am, f o r all that y o u ' v e done f o r me t o - n i g h t ; but
I can hope' that he'll come back safe. Cood night and a Mei'iy Christmas, M a ' a m . ' '
"i\Lerry Christmas, my boy. God bless y o u . "
She turned back into the room and smiled, first at Ih.e portraits
and then at the cat, curled contentlv in froiit of the fireplace.

T h e camp is situated on a great hill fifteen miles f r o m P o r t l a n d .
P"'rom the hill one can see a lake, mountains, forests, and a b o y s ' camp
near by. In the camp itself is one luige b u n g a l o w in which we ate and

One luorning about f o u r o ' c l o c k 1 a w o k e v e r y thirsty. I got u p
to get a drink, looked out of the w i n d o w and s a w — a ghost.
About
a m i n u t e ' s w a l k f r o m our " b u n k " stood a ligure all clothed in w h i t e .
Q u i c k l y I called the girls. Then all j u m p e d f r o m bed and aroused
Miss A r n o l d , our councillor.
She was f r i g h t e n e d too w h e n she
looked out of the w i n d o w ; then she looked t h r o u g h m y field glasses
and s a w that the figure w a s like t h a t of a girl. W e w o n d e r e d w h a t
girl it was. W e t h o u g h t it might be some one f r o m a n o t h e r camp.
W e could see that she w o r e a w h i t e cap, w h i t e p a j a m a s and w h i t e
bed-socks.
F i n a l l y we all f o l l o w e d the councillor out of the " b u n k " t o w a r d
the figure on the grass. A s we came close, the girl paid no attention,
but k n e l t on the grass and looked u p at the s k y .
This made us feel s t r a n g e r than ever. Then, as we approached,
we s a w that it w a s E t h e l AYalker, a girl w h o slept in m y " b u n k "
e v e r y night.
W e were afraid to speak to her f o r fear she w o u l d be f r i g h t e n e d

MAY SMITH'S THANKSGIVING DAY.
T l i a n k s g i v i n g D a y was d r a w i n g near. Little .May Smitli, w h o
lived out in the country, w a s a l w a y s sorry w h e n it came because all
but she had fine things to eat and seemed to have such a w o n d e r f u l
ha.i)py time.
A t last, the twontj^-ninth of N o v e m b e r a r r i v e d , and it w a s a
hi'ight, crisp nu)rning. The sun was shining b r i g h t l y . He seemed to
wish e v e r y o n e a merry time. ]\Iay b)oke(l sadly out of the w i n d o w of
the poor little house in w h i c h she lived and thought, " O h , if I only
could have a big dinner t o - d a y . " Then, she heard her f a t h e r c a l l i n g
her to come down to b r e a k f a s t . She hurried d o w n staii-s and Oh !
Avhat a w o n d e r f u l sight greeted lier e y e s ! E v e r y kind of f o o d she
had ever seen or heard of w a s on the table.
" W h y , f a t h e r ! " gasped M a y unable to believe her eyes.
H e r f a t h e r laughed mei-rily at her astonishment. " W h a t do y o u
think of t h a t ? " he asked.
" B u t , " said May, " h o w did you get all these w o n d e r f u l t h i n g s ? "
" N o w , never you nund, c h i l d . " he answered, l)u1 he looked a
little worried at the (juestioning.
" S i t down and eat all you w a n t , "
he continued.
.May's head was f u l l of t h o u g h t s as she ate of the w o n d e r f u l
Ihings. J u s t then they heard a k n o c k at the door.
" W h a t ' s t h a t ? " aske.l l\lay.
" I ' l l go and s e e , " her f a t h e r said.
W h e n he opened the dooi', there was no one in sight. He looked
down and in the d o o r w a y he saw a large basket. " W e l l ! W e l l ! " he

exclaimed. " W h a t can this b e ? " He brought it in and l i f t e d the
cover. Inside were many good things.
" O h , f a t h e r , " said May, " w h a t is the matter this T h a n k s g i v i n g .
We seem to be getting almost too m u c h . "
Then father told her that he had f o u n d the other basket of f o o d
at the door, too. Little M a y clapped her hands in glee and said t h a t

ATHLETIC NOTES.
The basket ball season is now under w a y . The Milne H i g h
School team played its first game November 23 with St. J o h n ' s A c a d emy at A c a d e m y Hall, Rensselaer. A l t h o u g h defeated in its first
game, the team has not given up liope but is determined to make a
good record. The team has had v e r y little practice on account of the
class schedules in the gym, which a l w a y s seem to conflict w i t h the
practice.
The score of the game was as f o l l o w s :

THE ("RLMSOX AND WHITH
CRITICISMS.
Maniuil, Peoria, Illinois.
One of the best exchanges we have received this month. We heartily
commend your idea of dedicating the opening number to " Manual Men in
Service." Your paper also bespeaks true patriotism throughout. Not only
is this displayed in your cover design and Editorial, but it is accentuated
throughout all the pages of your journal. The poem " A Soldier's P r a y e r "
is certainly clever. Your cuts are exceptionally good. But only a few of
your jokes are really funny. The number of " a d s " which you have shows
that your Business Managers are busy.
Crimson, (xoshen, Indiana.
A well ari-anged and neat little paper. The only criticism we have to
nuike in the arrangement, however, is the position of the Editorial. Why
place it at almost the end of the Magazine
It is the most important, and
therefore shoukl come first. Your Ahnnni Department should be bolstered
up a great deal. Your jokes are mighty good,—we especially enjoyed
" What Relation am I to Myself." " News" gives a very interesting account
of what you are doing.

AS OTHERS SEE US.
" T h e Crimson and White," Milne High School, Albany, N. Y . Your
"Sense and Humor" department is better than any we have received this
month. Your joke editors deserve special mention for handling their
department so well.—Crimson, Goshen, Indiana.
"Crimson and White"—June issue—(Milne High School, Albany,
N. Y.). The arrangement of this little paper, hailing from the capital of our
sister state, is good in general. The Society Notes are interesting, while the
"Sense and Humor" department is highly entertaining. However, there is
room for improvement in the literary department. The sole poem gracing
the paper is not written with the sentiments of lofty ideals that might be
expected in a farewell poem to Alma Mater.—Echoes, Fort Lee, New Jersey.
Books cannot always please, however good; minds are not craving for
their iood.—Crahh.
