And custom, among superstitious peoples. Is sacred. They were afraid that evil would befall them If they did not make gifts to the singers who caroled Christ’ s praise. From actual records we know that g ift making to children goes far back Into prehistory. At various museums here and abroad there are on view dolls, animals, and other toys which have been taken out o f the long burled tombs o f children. W e can easily picture a savage fa ther o f long ago bringing a curious shell for bis child to play with. Ws can see a savage mother carefully fashioning a flint or bone toy that her child might have something with which to busy himself. Among these priml tlve peoples, marriage was not con sidered binding until a child was born. The birth o f tha child therefore must have been an occasion o f great cele bration. and perhaps all the clansmen presented gifts to the newcomer It would have been a ceremony— to show the child he was welcome and among frien ds Painted clay dolls, tome In the form o f humans and some In the form of animals, were given to early Egyptian children as playthings. Among the early Homans, tha man who adopted a child gave It rich gifts to prove that be was able to take care o f It. Gifts have always accompanied christenings. In the Middle Ages the godparents usually presented the child with gold or silver spoons. It Is bare ly possibly that the phrase, “ born with a silver spoon In his mouth," may hava come from this custom. The custom o f presenting children with gifts at Christmas time was most pronounced among the Germans In early life Krla Kringle la their name for Santa Claus. It Is derived front Krtst Klndll. which means Christ child. We can understand why the holiday would have been recognised as being particularly a child's festival. Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus, Is regarded as the patron saint ol Christmas. The old nursery myth Is that he comes down the chimney with a pack on his back to leave gifts for good children. It Is possible that this myth orlg Inated with the custom o f cleaning the chimney at the beginning of the new year to enable good luck to enter the household. A housewife, busy clean ing the chimney at or about Christ ' mas time, might have whispered to her children, to keep them oat o f mis chief. that If they were good Santa Claus would come down the chimney and bring gifts to them. Impressed, the children hurried to spread the news among their playmates, and ao we have the myth today. • Ik * There had been a long alienee after Ids last wonts.

I'm going In for the aviation end. That’s my game." "Yes, It would be," ahe corroborated, almost Inaudlbly. “ I'v e been thinking about It a lot." he repeated. There was an Intense, unexpected relief In this confidence, which he had made to no one else but Bangs, and to him In only a casual phrase or two. "T h at’s one reason why It has been hard for me to get down to work on a new play, ns Bangs and Epstein have been bounding me to do. I was afraid I couldn't keep my mind on It.

The complexion o f Shaw, red with rold, darkened to an apoplectic purple. "Y'ouil soon find out what we've got," he harked, "and what'a coming to you. Now. are you going to put up a fight agnlnst four, or will you go quietly?" " I think." said l.nnrie thoughtfully. “ I’d rather go quietly. But Just where Is It I ’m going?" "Y ou ’ll soon know." Shaw was car rying a coll nf rope, light but strong, and now he tossed It to one o f the Ital ians. "T ie him up," he curtly ordered. "Oil, no." said Eaurle, harking a step. "Tut, tu t! I wouldn't advise that. I really wouldn't. It would be one nf those rash arts you read about." Something In hi* voire rhecked Ihe forward stride o f the Italian with tha ro|ie. He hesitated, glancing at Show. With a gesture. Ihe latter ordered Ihe two men through the door. "W alt Just outside,” ha directed. He turned to Enurie. "Out you g o !" he ordered brusquely. Eaurle hesitated, glancing at tmrla, hnf he could not meet her eye. At tha window, with her hack to the room, ahe stared out at the storm. Even In that moment her attitude stiinued him. Also, he felt an unconquerable aver slnn to anything In the nature o f n struggle before her. perhaps, once outside the room, he could lake on those ruffians, together or In turn. Without another word, he crossed the threshold Into the hall. Before him hurried the two Italians Behind him crowded Shaw and Ihe secretary. He walked forward alz strides. Then, ns the side railing nf the stairway rose beside him, he saw his opportunity. He struck out right and left with all his strength, flooring one o f the Ital ians and sending the second helpless against the wall.
