fortably in the new easy
chair which iiis daughter-in-
law had giveu him for Christmas.
JLlis feet were resting on u little
footstool from his granddaughter;
In his mouth was a briar pipe from
his gruudsoii, aud on his lap a first
edition of Tom Sawyer from his
yon. He was clad in u velvet
lounging rube from one of ills
daughters, ami under iiis white
beard could be seeu u new Christ-
inas tie and the edges of a new
silk shirt. Comfortable looking
slippers adorned Ids feet, and u
new reading glass was in his hand.
A box of Havana cigars, a dozen
books, ties, socks, aud u fountain
pen were on u tuble at his side.
Mr. Bees was smoking and gaz-
ing Into the lire. The strains of a
New York orchestra playing “Holy
Night” caine to his ears from the
mahogany radio in the corner. The
seventy-five electric bulbs on a
beautifully ornamented Christmas
tree furnished the only light in
the room except that from the fire.
The music of laughter came from
an adjoining room.
But Mr. Bees was not conscious
of his surroundings. As he was
gazing Into the fire his thoughts
were traveling through the mys-
terious flame into a distant past.
He was living over again the first,
and perhaps the happiest Christ-
mas day that he could remember,
a Christmas day some seventy-five
years before.
In a tiny house in what was then
called Canada West, now known
as Ontario, a poor family was
struggling against the elements for
its very existence on the frontier
of civilization. Mr. Bees must
have been four or five years old at
the time. His mother and father
were in their early twenties. The
one-room house was practically

Oh, Marvel of Marvels—a Big Red
Applel
buried In a driit of snow that
Christmas eve.
Mr. Bees, then only Ted, was
busy admiring the pictures painted
by Jack Frost on the one window
of the little home. Such hoar frost I
Was there ever the like of it be-
fore or since 1 It was a veritable
forest of ferns and trees and
bushes, snowy white, more beuuti-
ful even than the green ones that
grew so thickly in summer along
the little stream In back of the
house — and more Impenetrable.
Stars and planets and comets were
in this frosty forest, too, and here
and there the outline of a paluce,
at least for the Imagination of lit-
tle Ted. It was the most beautiful
thing that lie had ever seeu, or
probably ever would see, In this
world at least. He could see it
now, In memory, as plainly as he
saw it then.
His mother was at the stove pre-
paring supper. Soon she called him
from his reverie, and lie sat down
by the «nnn box with her and with
his father.’ A pan of warm imlk
was on the box—and In the milk
were hunks of bread—a feast for
a king. Each of the little family
took a spoon and ate from the
brimming pan. How good it tasted I
Would he could taste it now.
While his mother swept up the
crumbs Ted hung his stocking near
the stove. Then his mother pulled
out the trundle bed, and in two
minutes Ted was in the land of
dreams. .. .
How cold the house was that
Christmas morning when at five
o’clock he jumped from his trundle
bed and ran to the stove to get his
stocking! He took it quickly back
to bed, and dug his hand way down
Into the toe to see what Santa had
left for him. Oh, marvel of mar-
vels, a big red apple! And four
little animal cookies! But last and
best of all, a stick of peppermint
candy striped with red. "hat
more could any child desire?
“Your after-dinner coffee, sir,’’
said a white be-capped maid at his
01 bow.
As he drank the coffee, and
looked into the fire, and listened
to the music, Mr. Bees heard on y
the pan of milk simmering on the
stove, saw only the hoar frost for-
est, and tasted only the stick or
peppermint candy, his happiest
memories in life, perhaps.
