But the fear "as needless, lie came-the kind dear friend "^noiselessly, down the chimney or tnrongn the door, and did what he wanted without waking you. When you did open your eyes and get a light, how your heart danced with Joy. The stockings were orammed full—even the long stockings, which properly belonged to the father, but which young Ernest hung ^ear his head as his own, the little rogue. ■Perhaps Santa Claus found the trick out, for whip was at the top of the 8tockmg as if to remind the youngster that that was what be deserved.

She was called the loveliest girl xn the world She was also beautiful in character, and spent her time in works of charity. clov'9» of the Franks, heard of the beauty of Clotilde. According to the old story, he sent a noble Roman, Aurelian, commissioning him, if be found her loveliness as great as her fame, to woo her for him and bring her to Rheims, the Frankish capital. Aurelian went to Geneva, clothed in rags. He appeared before the fair Clotilde as a beggar. She recened him with pity, and, kneeling, she began to wash his feet.. « Lady, said Aurelian, I would speak to thee: I am no mendicant," said he, I am a king's ambassador.

A NEW GAME FOR THE YOUNGSTERS.

A NEW GAME FOR THE YOUNGSTERS. [By UNCLE WILLIAM.] Last week I gave the young readers of the Weekly Mail several games which can be played at social parties during the festive season. I now give a new game, which has come to us from Germany, where it is called STUMM WINKBN." What I am to call it in English is rather a puzzle. Stamm means silent or dumb, white ç, W inken" is to beckon. So if you prefer to say Dumb-Beckoning" to "Stumm- Winken," pray do so. I To begin with, the players seat tnemselves in a cirole, leaving one chair vacant. Do not forget that this is a dumb game, to be played in perfect silence. Anybody who speaks, laughs, or makes a mistake pays a forfeit, and the steadiest player is usually ohosen to collect them in a basket or bag. As a rule, there are a great many forfeits. The game begins by the player who has the empty chair on his right hand beckoning in solemn silence to some of the other players to come and take it. He probably sees the sign and obeys, which leaves his placn vacant, upon which his former neighbour to the left, finding emptiness on his right hand, instantly beckons to a friend over the way. We will suppose the friend over the way is thinking of something else and does not heed the warning finger. Up jumps the forfeit holder and demands a pledge, of course in perfect silence. Very often, too, the player who has the vacant chair on his left hand, not on bis right, makes a mistake and thinks it his duty to winken," and occasionally people think they have been beckoned to, when it is, perhaps, a neighbour who is wanted, or they forget the gravity of the situation and talk; sometimes, even, they laugh. An aotive forfeit-taker will find lots to do, and he will also find plenty of folks ready to catch him if he trips. The fun of the game naturally lies a great deal in how it is played. Some peoplo seem to possess a gift for making ridiculous grimaces and signs, and then how is it pos- sible to keepla grave face ?

A Walk With a Burglar.

A Walk With a Burglar. A TRANSCRIPT FROM LIFE. A week or two ago I bad a holiday, and went about and saw a good many interesting places and people; but by far the most interesting person I met in my travels was a burglar. Yes, a real live burglar out on tioket-of-leave. This was how we met. There is a certain common in the Midlands that I invariably visit when I am in the neighbourhood. It is just a nice five-mile walk to it; and when there one has a lovely view. Now, the other day I made my walk, looked at the lovely scenery, and then proceeded to wend my way back. Just as I came on to the old Holyhead coach road—a road infested with tramps-up came my man with a Please, sir, may I speak to you?" Said I, I think you had better not." Said he, I'm a burglar out on ticket-of-leave." I pricked up my ears at this-perhaps he might beintereating--re)ented a bit, and said, •' Well, I've nothing to give away." After that we became quite friendly, and walked along side by side chatting away as fast as possible. He showed me his ticket-of-leave and his permit to leave London for Lancashire. Why did you leave London." I wanted to get work at the docks at Liverpool. I tramped all the way, and when I got there I could not get on a job nohow, and I'm tramping baok again to town.' "Going on the straight P" "Yes, air; I do mean it this time. I've been in and out of gaol nigh on thirty years, and I'm almost tired on it." Burglary a bad business ?" Yes, sir, it is—that's just where it is. You never find a burglar nowadays retiring and taking a publio and setting down comfortable." Betting ?" said 1..1 Yes, sir; you've just hit it there. And then he added, as though it came a good way second, "and the drink." .1 Anxious work P" Lord, sir no gentleman ain't said that to me this many a year. Why, you talk quite like a cockney." I took this as a high compliment. It wasn't my speech, but my knowledge of the seamy side of life," he meant. "Anxious P" he went on; H J should think it was anxious work. There you go for an hour or more, working away and all of a sweat, and a leaf or something or other stirs and you're all of a quake and then perhaps you find after all a sheet of iron in the way, and it's no go." Well, but how do you go on when you get inside ? Why, we always go for the governor's bedroom to get his shooting- iron, and when we've got it we turn the key on him, and we know he's safe for a bit. And the same with the butler, we don't care about the women-they only squeal. We go for the governor's shooting iron because if we meet there's the general salute' (both parties fire) and it aint pleasant," "How do you get up- stairs?" "Now," said he, "people say they can hear a oat creep upstairs." 11 Why is that P" "Because a cat always goes up the middle of the stairs, and if the stairs have got a creak in 'em they'll creak with even a cat's weight; but we knows better. We goes up one foot on one side on the joists and the other on the other. Stairs will never creak that way, 'cause it's the centre as bends and breaks." When yon walk about, how do yon deaden your footsteps ?" Oh that is easy enough just put three or four of them india-rubber bands as you use for papers round you boot, and you're all right." Then I told him how I had helped a polioeman to searoh a house which had been broken into, and confessed that for a few moments I had a very lively picture before my eyes of the burglar with his revolver. How is it, I asked, all you fellews now use revolvers ?" Well," said he, "you see they've made gaol fair horrible a man would rather take another's life and chance the swing' than go baok to gaol." Said I, "I don't believe in revolvers; few can shoot ct.r.tght with them. I should have a double barrel, and I know 1 could Lit jua then." Look here, air," said he, turning up his trousers to show me the blue marks of a shot- wound in his oalf. II I got that one night down Maidstone way. They heard us, and as I ran down the lawn the governor I upped I and got me there." He sighed and said, If There was JE15,000 of jewellery inside; to think of losing that 1" It has for a long time been a problem to me why so many murders are committed, and the murderers never found out; so I inquired of my well-informed friend if he could give me a olue. He ruminated a mome/it or two, and said, Well, you see, when a man goes for a murder he most in general does the job alone; and there is no one to spljl) aud that's how he gets off." By this time we were getting close to the suburban village of T and as we passed by the borough member's big fine house f couldn't help (it was very wicked, of course) saying, That a good crib' to oraok." Good, sir ? We never try a country job unless we've got some one inside." Slavey' or butler P" "That is it sir." .1 Or some painter or other P" You've hit it again, air we does a lot ofiobs through the painters—couldn't get on without 'em but, you know, we "ever do a big job without the police being 'in' it. I don't mean as one or two of them high I teos' ain't clean-handed; but the general run of 'em's all in witl^ us. We say, Look here, Charley, which is best, a walking up and down these 'ere flags or j6700 or J6800 and buy your own publio-house and be a gentleman." Alas! I fear too true it is, Quis custodiet custodest now in Modern London as it was in Ancient Home. And now we had got to the village- green, so I gave my burglar a shilling and wished him good-bye—and, dear, dear, I never gave him one single word of goody-goody advice! When 1 got in I entertained my mother's five-o'clock tea with an account of my walk and talk. I don't think I shall ever forget the dear old lady's pious horror that her son, a highly-educated man—1 blush to write the words—and a minister, too, of the Established Church, should lower himself to talk to a common thief. Criminals and oadgers divide the olergy into green uns and 'ard uns." I wonder into which class my burglar put me. _St. James's Gazette.
