The pleasant evening enjoyed by the

Jr so after the parly rose from tho
supper table the young men excused
themselves and left May and Myrtle
Tto an exchange of conlidonces while
thoy set out for a stroll Hardly had
the door closed upon their departing
3Torms whon Myrtle exclaimed May
1 have promised to sing at an enter-
next week and have boon
flreadlng It for days Suppose wo buy
tomu of that plaster and use It to-

Agreed but we mustnt let the boys
know anything about It was the re

eut the knowledge of their brothers
wraps were hurried on and the girls
-were soon on their way to thu nearest
drug store
Having secured their treasure Myr
tle ami May hurried back and went
booh in the privacy of Myrtles room
An hour or so later thoy decided as
Mny expressed It to muzzle them-
selves and retire for the night May
had felt a tickling In her throat that
was doubtless of an Imaginary or sym
pathetic nature and had decided to
try the cure herself So each cut a
jgeucrous strip of the plaster moisten
ed and applied It and sat down hands
pressed tightly over mouth waiting
Tor the plaster to dry
Naturally when the drying process
was completed they found It Impossl
ble to speak So thoy hnd recourse to
paper and pencil to describe their llrst
sensations as mutes and were booh
ready to pay their respects at tho
Hlirine of Somnos
While the young folks had been en
Joying themselves in the parlor Mr
aind Mrs Hatch had been In the sit
ting room he with his paper and she
with her knitting It was the wife
who looked up and said
Zachariah dont you think It would
le n good plau to get some of that
plaster and bee If it wouldnt help you
swear off snoring for the New Year
Its dreadful If you could only hear
yourself snore you wouldnt stop at
trouble or expense
Perhaps some time replied Mr
Hatch manlike without taking his
eyes off his paper
Hut dont you think you hnd better
try it tonight nnd start the New Year
right persisted his wife You dont
want Mr and Miss Loveroy to go home
and say that they couldnt sleep be
cause you snored so loud
I suppose so Dont bother me Send
Myrtle after sonic If you like replied
the rather gouty tempered Mr Hatch
No I believe I will go myself niul
not lot the girls know anything nbout
It And his good wife laid down her
work nnd started for the drug store
The druggists Htirprlso gave way to

of liliii n yard of Isinglass plaster lie
concluded that somebody must be pret
ty badly cut up over at the Hatches
lly 11 oclock Mr nnd Mrs Hatch
woru sleeping soundly each with lips
glued together the wife ltxlng hers
like her husbands when ho complained
of the ludicrous tlguro lie would cut
when the plaster had been applied
In the meantime George and John
had made the circuit of familiar
streets ami neither had realized the
lateness of the hour until Ucorge to as
certain the time of night hnd stepped
to the window of n well lighted store
none other thnn the drug store with
which we are already actpiulntcd It
was 11 oclock The druggist was pre
paring to clos6 up for the night
Before he could do so John pushed
his way Into the store Walt till 1 get
some plaster he called out to his com
panion Tin going to try your plan
then to the druggist A yard of plas
ter please
Thats the last roll I have said the
tradesman in bewilderment as he
bunded out the third yard of plaster
he had sold to the Hatch family that
evening Ho began to think that some
one was playing a Joke on him and
after George and John had departed
he hurriedly closed his store
The boys found the Hatch residence
In darkness when they arrived there
except for one solitary light that shone
dimly through the slatted windows of
the sleeping room occupied by Mr nnd
Mrs Hatch A sleepy housemaid ad
mitted them and thoy as silently as
possible ascended to their room
No time was lost in sticking their
lips together and a struggle with the
lamp followed ending only when John
turned the wick so low that the llaino
dickered a few times and then died
out Left In silence and darkness the
boys were soon sleeping soundly
All was quiet and still by midnight
for Mrs Hatch did not believe in young
folks sitting up to watch out old years
Then Myrtle suddenly awoke with the
terrifying thought that some one a
man of course was holding his hnnd
over her mouth Then remembering
the events of the evening she realized
the cause of the peculiar sensation But
the shock to her nerves remained The
assertion that her scare was all Im
aginary though repeated over and
over to herself failed to quiet them
There It was somebody trying to
get Into the house The front door
bell rang loudly Then some one be
gan pounding on the door Myrtle
could hear It quite plainly She sat
upright and listened Never before
hnd she been awake at night and not
heard her fattier snoring She missed
that reassuring snore very much
Could nnythlng have hnppened to him
Or perhaps the house was on lire Yes
It must be tire She was sure that she
studied smoke
Giving May a tremendous shake
Myrtle slipped out of bed throw on n
dressing gown and hurried down to the
front door where the pounding still
kept up In a moment she had the door
open but Instead of a stalwart lire
man lu stepped her brother lOdwnrd
and his wife
Why Its Myrtle cried Edward
Tlio train was late and we thought
you wore never going to let us In
Were nearly frozen nnd hungry as
bears And how Is mother and every
body Why whats the mntter Why
dont you speak
For obvious reasons Myrtle remnlned
silent A moment later a second silent
figure crept down tho hallway and
stood by Myrtle and then enme Mr
Hatch himself hastily pulling on a
few clothes ns he came
Oh hereB father Ho will explain
cried the amazed lOdward as the third
llgure came groping silently down the
twilight of the long hall Good heav
ens Eva Fathers dumb too For lu
the middle of the hall stood the pater
nal Hatch uttering not one word of
welcome to his beloved son
A moment later Mrs Hatch came
down visibly ngltnUd and mutely
war lug her nrins Hehlnd her came the
two young men one armed with n
baseball bat and the other with a
poker Hut not one word did they
speak Isinglass plaster has some very
adhesive properties and when ones
mouth has been glued shut for three
long hours one cannot be expected to
carry on an extended couversntlou For
several minutes the strange group
gazed nt one nuothcr
Edward theyre all crnzy Lets go
home anywhere but do not stay In
this house cried Mrs Hatch Juulor
with strong signs of hysteria
Speak somebody cant you For
heavens sake wish us a happy New
Year cried Edward taking his fright
ened wife lu his arms
Hut not a word did any one speak
THE NORFOLK NEWS THURSDAY DECEMBER 28 1890
The silent group shuffled sheepishly
nbout mnklng weird nud Inoxpllcnble
signs which more and more convinced
Ed -mid Hint nil the family of Hatch
had suddenly departed with their sev
eral nud Individual senses
Mother Father Has It come to
this Will you turn your own son
away from your door nt midnight with
out one word of welcome What hnve
I done What has happened Can no
one speak
The answer to the Inst question had
to be a distinct but Inarticulate nega
tive lOvn covered her face with her
hands and broke Into sobs They
have turned you away Edward be
cause because thoy think I have dis
honored the name of Hatch Some one
has told them about the the apple
plosl Tell them Edward It was not
my fault not my fault I 1 didnt
mean 1 oh 1 cant go on I cant go
on And again poor Eva broke Into
sobs
At this point Myrtle slipped nwny
nnd came down stairs again with a
huge pair of scissors In her hands
Without onu word of wnrnlng nnd be
fore Edward could throw himself be
tween them she savagely stabbed his
father nt least so It seemed In the un
cortnln light lu the face with the mur
derous wenpon

body gasped Mr Hatch senior catch

hnnds till they ached Were all glued

with the stickiest most Infernal sort
of sticking plaster ever created Thats

Tho welkin rang with Edwards
Pghter when his mother did explain

Every nation has Its particular fenst
days and holldnys some paying great
er attention to one nud some to nn
oilier but nil peoples on the fnce of
the earth who reckon time nt all In
some milliner greet the New Yenr
We have so shulllcd our calendar
that now the occurrence of thu New
Yenr on the 1st of Jatiunry has lost Its
uignillcmicc Among primitive nations
however the New Year Invariably
marked the opening of one of the nat
ural divisions of the seasons
One of the oldest of New Yenr cus
toms Is that practiced by the Alnos of
Japan For n tlioiisnnd years these
peoplo have stood still In their civili
zation following nil their primitive
customs nnd ceremonies Now Yenr
with them Is a senson of merrymaking
which winds up with the grent benr
fenst cnlled Omsln In which a huge
benr Is sacrificed
In Scotland where Christmas Is not
observed ns a general holldny becnuso
bo ninny Presbyterians look upon Its
observance us n species of supersti
tion New Years day Is a Joyous one
and a strange way of celebrating tho
dying of the old year has long been
customary there The Inst night of
the yenr Is cnlled Ilogmennyo night
and Is celebrated by drinking singing
and general festivities
The Chinese nre notorious for their
fondness for holldnys nnd the Celes
tials make the most of this one Thoy
nre not content with one day but take
n whole month to celebrate the ap
proach of the New Year Chinese lan
terns llrecruckers feasting nnd the
paying up of old debts piny the mnjor
part In the ceremonies
A strange custom in mnny parts of
Europe Is Hint of having n member of
the family either the eldest or youn
gest open the family Bible at random
and place his or her finger nt any spot
on the open pnge without glnnclng at
It The verso thus mnrked is rcgnrded
as a sort of text for tho ensuing 12
months
A very poetical old ceremony Is tunt
of the so called Messe des Anlmaux or
animals mass which takes place on
New Years eve In the French depart
ment of tho Cevennos a country in
which the celebration of the New Year
almost entirely supersedes that of
Christmas This truly pastoral festival
Is given In behalf of tho herds of cattle
which constitute the chief wealth of
tho hardy mountaineers Before the
ceremony begins herds of cows and
sheep nnd goats are driven to an open
space before the church Inside the
building is gathered n crowd of stal
wart men and women In festive rai
ment each holding a lighted candle
while the cure celebrates mass
Some of the aborigines of our own
land hnve New Yenr customs that are
exceedingly Interesting notably that
of the MoquI Indians called
which Is a singular and elaborate
mythical drama divided into two
parts In which offerings nre mnde to
elllgles of the grent plume headed ser

lowed by a sun dnnce In which the con
flict between the orb of dny nnd the
Inferior hostile gods Is portrayed
