r was after eleven o'clock on
Christmas Eve. Earlier In the eve
ning the streets had been thronged
with people but now few were to
be seen. Jt was not so much the late
ness of the hour that had driven them
to their homes as It was the weather.
That had suddenly turned bitterly cold !
and a blizzard had begun, i
uuess there won't be anybody out i
to hear the chimes." muttered Wal
lace Hartley, as with head bent against
the driving snow, he hurried towards
the city hall. It was the custom In
Watertown tt have a concert on the
chimes In tt -. tower of the city hall
St mlrinlL'M . f'tirlstmaa Vv When '
the weather was mild a considerable
crowd would eather In the Common
to listen to the music.
Wallace crossed the snowy, deserted
Common and slipped along the side
of the city hall to a rear basement
entrance. He meant to stop and Ret
warm and have a word with his fath
er, who was superintendent of the
bulldlnf and had to stay there until
the chime-ringer had finished the con
cert and gone. He entered, and pass,
lng through the dimly lit corridors
reached his father's office.
"Hello, Wallace," said .Mr. Hartley
In surprise. "What brings you here?"
"Just stopped to get warm," replied
Wallace. "This bllizard's going to be
a terror."
"What'a that you have there?'
asked his father, pointing to a pack
ago Wallace had under his arm.

"A present for Mother. It's that
candlestick she saw In Clayton's win
dow and admired so much. Pretty
heavy It is loo. Solid brass."
"She'll be pleaded to have It, son,"
said Mr. Hartley. "Glad you rot It
mr ner. well, sit down and warm
yourself."
"Is .Mr. Hodge here yet?" asked
Wallace, referring to the chlme-rlnger.
"Came In about five minutes ago.
He's up In the tower now."
Wallace sat and warmed himself at
the radiator for nerhaps ten minutes.
Then he rose saving. "Well. I'll run
alnn now. Father. I'm warm
enounh."
"All right. Son. See you In the
morning."
As Wallace made his way through
the basement he passed the bottom of
the tower. As he glanced up the great
shaft he was struck by the idea that
It would be Interesting to go up to the
balcony some two hundred and fifty
feet up and listen to the chimes from
there. Then, too, he had never been
up In the tower In a snowstorm. It
would be worth trying.
Mr. Hodge had taken the elevator
up and Wallac e had to climb the cir
cular staircase. It was stiff work but
he was young and didn't mind. Pant
ing, he reached the landing from

which a door ooened on a i,;ii ,y
that ran around h ntv :,i r.
Just above was Ihe loom from which
the chime was rung. As Wai.ae
reached the landing the clock began
booming' midnight. With tho U-t
stroke the chimes began. No time to
speak to Mr. Hodge now.
Wallace, opened the door and
stepped out fcn the balcony. A gust
of wind slammed the door shut be
hind him but he thought nothing of
that. He walked around the balcony
to the leeward side and stood gazing
out upon the storm wrapped city.
Above him the chime boomed out Its
message of peace and good will to
men.
The boy was fascinated by tho sn.
"atlons that came to hltn. As the fine
snow streamed past the tower In ali
sorts of fantastic forms It seemed as
if It were the tower that was moving
through the storm like an airship.
Wallace had never experienced an el',
f'-ct ll!;e that before. The eeriness of
it was Intensified by the booming bells
above hltn. which filled the air with
strange vibrations. He was In a sort of
d iv-dream In which he Imagined him
self an avlntor soaring through the
blizznrd above the city.
He was brought to himself with a
start by the sudden realization that
the chimes had been silent for longer
ban the Interval between tunes. Could
Mr. Hodge have finished the concert

Wallace hurried to the door. He
had meant to catch Mr. Ho't-e nnil

his bundle whiLh he had eurrled un

through some rapid exercise to start
Ilia blood circulating. Then ht tramped
b.".ck and forth on the balcoi y trying
to think.

reach through nnd Klr'.ke one of the
bells, lint could he climb up there,
and IT he could, would he be able to
rln? a bell loudly enouth so there
would be any chance of its being
heard?
His last question was answered flrt.

The authority for this statement'
is 1 humid II. Ivlch'ocrg, special as-:

"The conimamlmt'iit, "Thou shall l
not kill' is not expressed in any lawj
university understood or uniformly
enforced when the killing is come by,1
or on account of a woman," said Mr.
Kichbcrg.
In telling how he "sought the lav

competitive crooks and his personal
enemies than he has for the law.
gt up to the belfry he could reach
through the latti e and beat on a bell
with the heavy candlestick.
Now with renewed hope he ex
amined the wall of the tower. From
the balcony to the. belfry It was of
i brick, laid In a design that left a
series of shallow Indentations an Inch
and a half or two inches deep. It
was barely possible to climb up the
face of the wall by thrusting fingers
and toes Into these Indentations.
He tr!d It on the leeward side. Put
his numt) flntrers slipped from the
brinks when he had ascended but a
'few feet and he fell back on the bal
cony. His strength was waning. If
he was to succeed It must be quickly.
He forced himself to dance and
swing his arms to get his blood going
again. Then, when his fingers felt
more supple he ran around to the
windward side of the tower. It was
colder th"re but the force of the gale
would help to hold him against the
bricks. Asain he set himself to climb
up the sheer wall.
Inch by Inch he fought his way up.
A dozen times it seemed that he would
slip off but each time he gripped his
finders harder on the bricks and stuck.
Finally he thrust an arm through the
lattice nnd clung there. Then he
