In t o e a c h home there had come a stren^liiening and rekindling of family ties and a new birth of love and service- that reached out even beyond tlie Out on the res ervation, however, the Indians went about their tasks as usual, for no hint of the wonder and the glory of the G h r i s t i u a s time had yfet come to them. And if they felt a mys terious sometliiug in the air at this time, they under stood it not at all, < for the brightness from the Star of iBethlehem had not yet burst upon theto. Moonlight BrooK was very lonely— she had only littie Silver Star, her daughter, with her. now—the big chief had. s « it Strong .Oat, her husband, with other brave*, on a mission to a distant village. And Moonlight Brook had missed Iflm everj' hour, for their love was still burning as bright as the big camp fine that blazed near the t^ e e s at dusk, Hj^r love of the great open spaces helped to cheer her during the long hours of his absence. Every day with little Silvm: Star she wandered afar, in these lonely places that she went jbiere always came to her the sense o f some unknown presence—the hand b£ some great power. • Early one morning Moonlight Brook ’ called little Silver Star to her and told her that they would go for a long walk, away up to Roaring, Creek. Moonlight Brook was lost in wohder at the beaiity of the scene, but a great ’ and sudden- change had come over the day. Now, looking at tlie lowering, threatening sky, she decided that She must make alL possible haste back to the village. For with tlie. d4¥k- uess and the gloom that had come over all there had come, too, from across the prairie a lo w , menacing wiild that carried with it at times small, dry snowflakes.. • l ^ t e d H d l o o n , A U o t h e r .

Th(^ hospital ity ^ of- the old southern home had been lavish, the ex hibition of liis paintings, had been suc cessful beyond his hopes, there had been congratulations, and flo-wers, and commissione. Quite overwhelmed with courtesies and attentions, charmed b.v the QUaintness and beauty and cus toms and scenes new to him, the artist longed to linger, and was ICth to leave the old city. But the northern' train that he must take was almost due, the ^station was distaht, and his hosts had seemingly forgotten all about it, until they suddenly appeared with apologies and delivered him to tlie black coach man and the fam ily coach, Fortu nately, the ti*ain, burdened with its load of Chi'istmas cheer, was late, also, so that when it moved oh Spen cer was among its passengers. The rather mon otonous landscape threw him back u p o n reflection, and lie f o u n d himself reviewing the sights and ex periences of his visit witli pleas ant amusement. A g a i n he wit nessed the bargaining of the old mar ket. \Ls you got enny aigs?” “I ain't sed dat I ain't.” ‘‘I ain’t axed yer is yo’ ain’t, I axed yer -ain’t yo’ is.” He re called the curious operations of the re vival meeting that had so iliustrated the pleturesQueness of negro character and hummed to himself the song that had there been so intensely sxmg: Dere's a halo on His hald, A halo, oh my Lawd. Birt dere’s one for me H e ^ d , - A crown ob glory wen I’m daid. A lialo, oh my Lawd. Dat’s de kind ob hat ter git, A halo, oh my Lawd.

But the prairie has many stories to tell of strange things tliat have happened tliere, and on this day there was added to the-list another of those coincidences which happen oftener in r e a l life than' some would have us beliere. B'or Strong Oakr and his party came by the v e r y - s p o t Where- -Moonlight - Brook and Silver ’ Star' lay a short ' tim e ' after they bad sunk exhaust*. ed. Smne of the men had tried to t a k e t h e other trail, but somc-^ thing within-hiin,\ that strange, un- toow n force which comes to all ''at times, made Kim choose the Roaijng Greek trail instead and he found KJs loved ones and with the help o f t h e guides they readied the village, in safety. ^ A few hours later.

Shortly after the bell rope was pulled, the train drew to a halt, and kindly looks followed him down llie aisle and on to'the platform of the little station. The incident was barely finished; and the train had attained but little head way when there was a. sudden aud ter rible jolt, followed by a crash and the bumping o f the cars over the ties, then a stop and^' an affrighted silence, broken by the voice of the Pullman porter, crying out, “We’s run through an open switch and we’s wrecked, but ne’ min’, de ti'ain am standin’ on de groan’.” Engine, baggage , cars and dining ear were off and broken, but the Pullmans remained on the truck. “If w e hadn’t stopped at Redfield,” said the conductor, “we’d ’a’ been going forty miles an hour and .all heapeu up at the bottom of the embankment.” In the artist’s studio today there is a picture of the Christmas Christ, with the halo that believing love has placed upon His head. And just below it an- otlier halo rests upon tlie head of an old man, pictured there because of his unconscious but real service of man- . kind. ' I (©, 192S, 'Westetn Newspaper Cuiop.)
