Every day your idleness lifts tho price of their necessities. Idle ness is Just another form of destruc tion. Why could you not huve listened to the counsel of Iteasou In Juno Instead of In September, and thus have suvrd these long months of hardship and bitter violence? It was because tho spirit of Tyranny had entered your heurt and put your Judgment In chains. It had blinded you to honor also, for you men wore working under contract. If the union Is to command the support of honest men, It must ho honest. It was Tyranny that turned tho treaty with Delgluin into a scrap of paper. That kind of a thing will not do here. Let mo assure you that Tyrunny has no right to bo In this lnnd of ours. You remind me of tho Protllgul Son who hnd to kmw the tnsto of husks and tho companionship of swlno before he came to himself. Do you not know that Tyranny Is swine nnd the fodder of swlno? It Is simply human hog glhhnoss. "I huve one thing more to sny and I uni finished.

You are, no doubt, awnro that ninny followed your example. I've got no preaching to do. I'm Just going to quote you n few words from an authority no less responsible than (Jcorge Washington himself.

"'Let It simply bo asked where Is tho security for property, for reputa tion, for life, if u sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which aro the Instruments of Investigation In courts of Justice?' "iAJt mo add, on my own account, 1 tnut the treatment you received from your men will vary according to their respect for morality and religion. "They could innnnge very well with nn Irreligious muster, for you are-only one. Dut an Irreligious mob Is n dif ferent and highly serious matter, be llevo me. Awny bnck in the seven teenth century, John Dryden wrote a wise sentence. It was this: '"I have heard, Indeed, of some very virtuous persons who have ended un fortunately but never of a virtuous nation; Providence Is engaged too deeply when the cauee becomes gen eral. "'If virtue Is tho prlco of n na tion's life, let us try to keep our own nation virtuous.' " Mr. Ding and his mon left tho Judge's otllce In a thoughtful mood. Tho next dny, Judge Crooker met tho mill owner on the street. "Judge, I nccept your verdict," sold tho latter. "I fear that I have been rather careless. It didn't occur to me that my example would bo taken so seriously. I huve been n prodigal und havo resolved to return to my father's house." "Ho, servants I" snld tho Judge, with a smile.

"We shall havo to postpono tho celohrutlon," said Mr. Ding. "I huve to go to Now York to-night, nnd I sail for Kuglund to-morrow. Dut I shall return before Christmas.." A little farther on Sir.

"I hear many good things about you, Mr. Dlenklnsop. I fenr that we Imvo all misjudged you.

That evening, as ho snt by the stove In his little room over tho garage of Mr. Singleton with his dog Christmas lying beside him, Mr. Dlenklnsop fell usleep nnd awoke suddenly with a wild yell of alarm.

"When they como he's npt to start for the nlghest river. Tho old elephant Is beglnnln' to move." Dlenklnsop put on his hat and hur ried out of the door. CHAPTER NINE. Which Tells of a Merry Christmas Day In the Little Cottage of the Widow Moran. Night nnd Silence are a stern test of wisdom. For years, tho fun loving, chattcrsomc Dlenklnsop hnd been their enemy and wns not yet ut pence with them. Dut Night and SIlcuco hnd other enemies in the vlllnge undent and Inconsolnblo enemies, It must bo said. They were tho cocks of Dlugvllle. Every morning they fell "'If Virtue Is tho Price of a Nation's Life, Let Us Try to Keep Our Own Nation Virtuous.'" to and drove Night nnd Sllenco out of tho place and who shall sny that they did not save it from being hope lessly overwhelmed? Dny was their victory and they knew how to uchlevo It. Noise wus the thing most needed. So they roused tho people nnd called up tho lights and set the griddles rat tling. Tho gront, white cock that roosted near tho window In tho Widow Mornn's hen-house wntched for tho first sign of weakness In the enemy. When It enme, he sent forth n bolt of, sound thnt tumbled Sllenco from his throne nud shook the foundations of tho gront dome of Night. It rang over tho housetops nnd through every street und alley In the village. That started tho bottle. Silence tried In vain to recover his sent. In a moment, every cock In Dlngvlllo wns hurling bombs nt him. Immediately, Dark ness began to grow pulo with fright. Seeing tho fate of his ally, ho broke camp and lied ywestwnrd. Soon , the Held wns clear and every proud cock surveyed tho victory with a solemn senso of large accompllstnent. Tho loud victorious trumpets sound ing In tho gnrden nenr the window of tho Shepherd awoke him that Christ mas morning. Tho dawn light was on tho windows. "Merry Christmas 1" snld tho little round nickel clock in a cheerful tone. "It'H tlmo to get up I" "Is It morning?" tho Shepherd asked drowsily, ub ho rubbed his eyes. "Sure It's morning 1" tho little clock miBwcrcd. "That lazy old sun Is late again. Ho ought to bo up and nt work. Ho's llko a dishonest hired man." "He's npt to be slow on Christmas morning," snld the Shepherd. "Then people blame me and say I'm too fast," tho little clock went on. "They don't know what nn old shirk tho sun can be. I'vo been watching him for years and have never gone to sleep nt my post." After a moment of sllenco the llttlo clock went on: "Hello I Tho old night Is getting a move on It Tho Copyright, 1W0, Irring Bacheller cocks uro scaring It away. Santa Onus has been here. Ho brought ever so man? tilings. Tho midnight train stopped." "I wonder who enmc," said the Shepherd. "I guess It was the Dings," the clock answered. Just then It struck seven. "There, I guess Hint's about tho end of It," Mild tho little clock. "Of what?" tho Shepherd asked. "Of the nineteen hundred and eigh teen yenrs. You know seven Ib tho favored number In sacred history. I'm suro tho baby would havo been born nt seven. My goodness I There's a lot of ticking In nil thnt time. I've been going only twelvo years and I'm nenrly worn out. Some young clock will ht.ve to tnko my Job before long." Theso reflections of the llttlo clock were suddenly Jntetruptcd. The Shep herd's mother enteed with a merry greeting und turned on the lights. There -were ninny bundles lying about. Sho enme and kissed her son und began to build a lire In tho little stow. "Thls'll bo tho merriest Chrlstmns In yer life, laddie boy," she said, as she lit the kindlings. "A great doc tor has come up with the Dings to seo ye. Ho says he'll have ye 'out 0' doors In 11 llttlo while." "Ho, hoi Thnt lookn like tha wav wns nearly over," said Mr. Dloggs. Mm. Moran did Dct hear the remnrk of tho little tin soldles, so sho rattled on: "I went over tc the stntlon to meet 'em lust night. Mr. Dlenklnsop has brought us a fine turkey. We'll Imvo n gran' dinner sure wo will an' I axes' Mr. Dlenklnsop to come an' eat with us." Mrs. Mornn opened the gifts nnd spread them on the bed. There were books nnd paints and brushes nnd clothing nnd silver articles nud needle-work and n phonograph and a check from Mr. Ding. Tho little cottage had never seen a day so full of happiness. It rang with tho talk nnd merry laughter and music of tho phonograph. Mr. Dlenkln sop had como in his best mood and apparel with the dog Christmas. Ho helped Mrs. Moran to set the tablo In tho Shepherd's room nnd brought up tho platter with the big brown turkey on It, surrounded by sweet potatoes, nil Just out of tho oven. Mrs. Moran followed with tho Jelly and tho creamed onions and the steaming coffee pot nnd the new cel ery. The dog Christmas growled and ran under the bed when he saw his master coming with that unfamiliar burden. "He's never seen a ChrlstmnB din ner before. I don't wonder he's kind o scnlrt I I ain't seen one in so long, I'm scalrt myself," said Hiram Dlen klnsop aB they snt down at the tablo. "What's scnlrln' ye, man?" said tho widow. "'Frald I'll wake up an' find my self drenmln'," Mr. Dlenklnsop an swered. "Nobody ever found himself dreamln' nt my table," said Mrs. Mo ran. "Grnb tho carvln' knife an' go to wurruk, man."

Tho Introduction of the wig helped tho custom for It proved difficult to keep one's hnt on over a tousled mass of false eurjs. This also led to largo hats with plumes going out of stylo. Then, Instead of wearing hats In doors, men went to tho other extremo, nnd often curried them In their hnntls when out of doors.
