CASTRO ON WAY HOME
TO MAKE LAST FIGHT
NEW YORK, Dec. 23 The cable dis
patches announcing that Cipriano Cas
tro, deposed president of Venezuela,
under the alias of Ruis, is a passen
ger on board the Touraine of the
French Line, bound for New York, has
caused a stir in the Venezuedan col
ony in this city. Opinions about Cas
trds object in coming to New York
vary, but is believed in some quarters
ters that it has to do with regaining
power in the country that cast him
out of office four years ago.
"I can't imagine what Castro aims
to do in New York," said Jainto Lo
pez, formerly consul-general of Vene
zuela, in this city, "but he is absolute
ly powerless and his feeble effort to
start a revolution can only excite rid
icule." There are many of Castro's old
friends in New York who entertain
different views. One of these said
that the movement to restore Castro
to power had gained great strength
in the last year.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. Whether
Cipriano Castro, former president of
Venezuela, will be permitted to land
in the United States is being consid
eed by officials of the government. He
has started from Paris to New York.
Officials frankly confess that they
have not yet reached a decision as to
the treatment to be accorded if he
should appear at an American port.
Tecnichally there is no charge against
Castro, through the treatment he met
ed out to members of the diplomatic
corps in Cararcas while he was the
practical dictator pf Venezuela, and
his disregard for every representation
made by the American minister in the
interest pf Americans who held val
uable concessions, incensed the State
Department against him. Furthermore
there has been a tacit understanding
that American influence should be
used to prevent Castro from return
ing to Venezuela and destroying the
peaceful relations with foreign coun
tries in which the government of
President Gomez now enjoys.
Officials of the immigration service
who, it has been suggested might pre
vent the landing of the ex-president
as an undesirable alien, have so far
no request from the State Department
to act in that manner. '
Making Cut Glass.
The process of glass cuttiug requires
great skill and care. A design is first
lightly copied on tbe glass, and the cut
ters take it in hand. A fine stream of
sand and water falls continuously ou
a rapidly revolving steel wheel. To this
the glass is applied, and the cutting is
i-pally accomplished by the friction
which, the sand sets up. Then another
workman with another steel wheel and
plain water brings the cutting up to a
sharper edge. A third workman with
a soft wooden tool takes off the cloudi
ness caused by the friction of the steel,
a fourth polishes the glass, a fifth with
a preparation of oxide of tin gives to
it that iridescent luster which makes
us value cut glass so highly.

A LEGEND OF THE
MISTLETOE BOUGH
IT was an old legend now. a bun
dled years old at least Genera
tions had come and gone, and the
weird of Barham Hall had never
once given a sign of coming into ful
fillment, so what need was there for
fear? It was true that mistletoe was
at last growing on the boughs of the
old hawthorn in the Yote sward. But
it was Christmas eve. and the bells of
Barham church were ringing Christ
mas chimes.
More than 100 years ago Roger Lyn
dale. had done that which perhaps was
not an honorable thing. Roger had
wooed a farmer's daughter, but had
not married her, and she had died at
his gates. Across the grass levels,
now covered with snow, the old farm
house could still be seen, mute with
its history.
Not a soul of Druscilla Ives' time
was alive In the old homestead.
Strangers were under Its roof paying
tribute to Barham Hall, as Druscilla's
father had done. ;
But the descendants of Roger Lyn
dale were still at the hall, with a link
between them and the story of the old
Yote farm.
For, strangely" enough, Druscilla had
died on Christmas eve, and the legend
of Barham Hall had come from her
lips:
When mistletoe grows on the old Yote
thorn
No child to a Lyndale will e'er be born.
So she had prophesied, and the pre
diction meant that when the , white
berry could be plucked from the old
hawthorn standing alone on the green
sweep of the Yote sward of Barham
park the race of Lyndale would be
come extinct.
And now at last mistletoe was grow
ing on the old thorn!
Yet there were laughter and gayety
in the hall. The great open fireplace
In the wainscot room was "heaped up
with glowing, crackling Yule logs, and
all was a bright sparkle of merriment
and good cheer.
Yet there, was some little awe after
all, although it had been cast off like a
cloak thrown Into a corner, for the
legend at its worst was not without
qualification. It had a second couplet,
which ran:
But he that would nobly this curse undo
Must lowly maid wed and to her be true.
When that saving grace was attach
ed to the legend and when -the weird
had been worn out by the passing of a
century what was there to fear?
"Good gracious! What is that?" ex
claimed Lady Lyndale suddenly. "Not
the choir again surely! They've been
and gone."
A voice was singing:
"When mistletoe grows on the old Tote
thorn
No child to a Lyndale will e'er be born.
But he that would nobly this curse undo
Must lowly maid wed and to her be true."
It was the weird, and it was being
sung by a woman's voice to the re
frain of "The Mistletoe Bough."
What could it mean?
"It must be somebody." said Roland
Lyndale when it became certain that
the voice had finished. "I'll see who
it is."
With the words he crossed the room,
drew aside the curtains of one of the
windows and looked out upon the
snow.
"It's strange," murmured Roland,
turning to his father, who still sat be
side the hearth. "There's no one here,
sir."
."No," replied Sir Geoffrey; "I did
not expect there would be.. It was
some Impertinent person from the vil
lage, that Is evident."
"Leo and Dorothy should be almost
here now," said Lady Lyndale pres
ently. "I wonder whether it is the
snow that's made them late."
The butler appeared and handed Lyn
dale a telegram.
"Is It bad news, Geoffrey?" asked
Lady Lyndale.
"Yes, Millicent," he replied In a dry
tone. "Leo has been taken ill with
pneumonia, a fearful thing at any
time, and he's not strong. You can
see," he added, handing the message
to his wife. "Dorothy says she'll wire
at once if it becomes critical."
The children still laughed and play
ed, but the elders became grave.
"Poor old Lionel! I hope he will
pull through it," Lyndale murmured In
an uneasy voice.
Not many Lyndales were left. The
stricken Lionel was Sir Geoffrey's
only brother, and Roland was his only
son, . -
Roland Lyndale had parted from his
airy spirits. Fiver since the incident
of the voice he had been in a Changed,
subdued moodi
And when dinner was over he found
an opportunity to steal out Into the
snowy night.
There were footprints there. Only
the shrubs had prevented his seeing
the strange visitor when he opened
the window.
Which way had the singer gone?
For some moments Roland stood
glancing from spot to spot
Over the face of the moon the snow
clouds had now flitted, but Roland
could see the old hawthorn standing
alone on the white expanse of the Yote
sward.
Fancy had not deceived him. Some
body was under the tree, and the some
body was a woman!
A strange trembling came to Roland
as he stooped over the dark, drooped
and almost sinking form leaning
against the trunk.
Was she dead?
Just then a kindly break In the
clouds let through a gleam of moon-

tight, and Roland laid his hand gently
on the woman's shoulder. .
Then she moved, rose to her feet and
tnrned up to him vague eyes and a
face so beautiful that he started. And
the start set his strange trembling
going afresh. But this time there was
pity in the tremor, for be saw that the
beautiful face was as white as death,
sad, weary worn and so fragile that
his instinctive thougnt of her was as
of a white lily cast out in the snow.
''My dear youug lady," Roland asked,
wondering, "whatever brings you here
like this? For you are' off the road,
and I see you are a stranger."
"My name," she answered faintly, "Is
Phyllis Egerton. My mother was the
great-great-granddaughter of Druscilla
Ives."
For a moment Roland was dumb.
"Druscilla Ives!" he said presently.
"Yes,", she replied again. "We have
always kept the legend of her fate and
her prophecy against Barham Hall in
our family. And when I was quite a
little thing I promised myself that
some day. one Christmas eve, I would
come and see Yote farm, where she
lived, and the tree and perhaps sing the
prophecy outside the hall where she
should have lived."
Roland felt strangely uncomfortable
and yet gently pitiful. It was curious
that after the long passing Of a cen
tury he should be the first to come into
contact with a descendant of the fate
ful Ives.
"But why?" he asked again, impress
ed by the hand of fate in it all.
"I don't know," she returned weak
ly, her head leaning against the trunk
of, the tree, "unless it was because I
felt I must Druscilla died on Christ
mas eve. I wondered where she(might
have been buried under the snow as I
passed the church. I ' looked at the
farm first. Then I went up to the
house and sang, and then I came here.
But I did not think I should see the
mistletoe."
"But, my dear young lady, what will
you do?" Roland asked her, pained by
her helplessness and by the mystery.
"And, oh," she went on brokenly,
"when I came here I almost wished I
could die too! I am the last of the
race from Amos Ives, with nothing
left to live for nothing! My father
I lost eighteen " months ago, and my
mother died in June. So I've nothing.
Six months I've struggled to live."
As she spoke she slipped from the
trunk of yie thorn and would have
fallen backward in the snow, but with
a quick step Roland caught and support
ed her with his arm round her waist.
As she lay against him rather than
stood, with her face fallen on his shoul
der, Roland felt her hands. They were
icy cold.
"Poor girl," he said, feeling her mis
ery in himself, "you must not stay
here! I must take you to the hall." '
Then quickly he lifted her in his
arms and carried her into the hall, the
first of the race of Ives, man or wom
an, to pass its threshold for a hundred
years.
Sir Geoffrey was sitting in the wain
scot room alone when Roland entered

with his burden, for the ladles and the
children had gone to the nursery, and
he looked up blankly.
'Father, the singer," Roland said
gravely, "the last of the race of Dru
scilla Ives. I found her under the tree,
a wanderer and friendless. You your
self can see how she Is."
"Fetch your mother, and I'll ring for
Mrs. Cox and Parkins," said Sir Geof
frey huskily.
Phyllis Egerton was carried to the
bedroom in which a hundred years ago
Roger Lyndale had slept, and a kindly
Christmas was made for her, but four
days passed before she could leave the
chamber.
On New Year's day wondering eyes
watched Phyllis and Roland going np
through the village to old Barham
church.
Phyllis and Roland went to a weath
er crumbled gravestone which, tradi
tion said, marked the grave in which
Druscilla Ives had been buried, and,
with hands clasped across the now flat
grass, they kissed.
"A happy New Year, my lady. A
happy New Year, sir," the village folks
greeted as Phyllis and Roland return
ed to the hall.
It was the happiest year that Roland
had known, and as he and Phyllis
passed up the drive they looked and
smiled at the thorn and the mistletoe
bough. , ,
