,Z^hind the Gift
By Barbara Lee
rwmpi MERRY Christmas!
I You're welcome!
I w .jsBttLi How have you enV/
Joyed the first few
hours today? Hasn't
It been exciting and
UKf Interesting! Now that
Ktlo? .?&l the first little calm
jj has come after the y
storm, let us settle s
Tj?il mPu back to look once again ;
jHr at gifts that are our
ML?SBBj special fortune to own t
In the great living f
room. There's father's gift Can't you E
aee dear old dad behind every page of ^
your favorite set of books? All calf,
too, and illustrated by the only artist j,
that appeals to you. What riches lie 8
tm the palm of your hand as you look! 1
Mo one can rob you of these. Every t
page means the door of a new treasure jhouse.
How good of dear father! I j
wonder how he knew? He must have t]
been listening when you and your 8
chum had that ripping discussion of fa- a
sorites. And you can't understand how ((
ha knew the color of your collection. ^
Ah, well! Trust a father. d

night hours after the vprv Inn or ilar
See how cleverly her fingers have f,
made three yards of cord look like b
much more. The loops and buttons are t]
handmade; they cost so much less,and j p
you know mother hasn't a bank ac- I b
count of her own. She has not cut I c
down the rations, either. It's Just her b
great, generous heart that has accom- i<
plished the seemingly Impossible thing, ij
The eyes are not so bright and blue as i<
when she was the happy, laughing girl v
that dad first loved. But she sees Just p
as far beneath the surface, and she c
knows how much you long for some 0
things. Ah, what a world of sacrifice c
and love stands behind these gifts. *
Oh, my! Don't smile, but isn't this fi
Just like that great, blundering cub of
a Bob? He must have paid five or six o
dollars for this. Poor, misguided, stung ?
brother! Now you can Just see him h
sauntering into the "art (save the li
mark!) needlework" store. Do you see C
his airy nonchalance as he casts his a
eye over the pincushions arrayed in b
glistening, satiny lines? How much s
1a this? And this? The latter being
the more expensive, was quickly I
chosen. Oh, what ever are you going g
to do with It? Bright pink satin, with e
m suggestive bunch of bright forget-menots
blooming out from beneath a ruf- b
lie of very cheap lace. You'll never a

CHRISTMAS THE CHILD'S DAY
By Rsv. Brandford Leavitt.
Christmas is the child's day in the
Christian year, and how this weary
and uneasy world needs the childlike
mind to save it from itself. What
is more subtly fitted to the needs of a
ware en<1 /llaaalnn ik -

image of all that la alive and fresh
and unstained? It is the child in men
we look for and love?again today the
child is the savior that answers a
smile with a smile, that responds to
the confidence with confidenoe, ready
to take you and me for what we would
like to be and thus lifts us nearly to
our ideal.
I have admired wit In men and influence
and grace and beauty in women
and I find also that one disturbes
these, grows Indifferent to them as he
gets older and sadder and wiser, but
loves in men and women the little
child, longs for some one not to admire
nor praise nor be charmed by,
but some one to love so that loving
hall be peace.
Our Gifts.
As the Magi came bearing gifts, so
do we also?gifts that relieve want;
gifts that are sweet and fragrant with
friendship; gifts that breathe love;
gifts that mean service; gifts inspired
still by the star which shone over the
City of Oavid, nearly two thousand
years ago.?Kate Douglas Wiggin.

Mullins, Nov. 22.? FTollowing a
wholesale robbery Tuesday night, 2 '
negroes, Howard Fairly and Jim
Huey, were arrested and brought
to Mullins for identification. They
carried grips containing goods taken
from many of the stores of Mullins.
The robbery was discovered early
yesterday morning at the depot.
When Mr. Davis, the agent, opened
the door at 7 o'clock he noticed
that some one had broken open
the door at the passenger station.
On entering the office, naturally the
first place he looked was at the
money drawer and found
that it had been stoleh.
It was thought that there was
some |8 or $10 in the drawer. *A
mileage book was also missing. Mr.
Davis notified the officers, and soon
tfiey found the drawer In a vacant

As the merchants came to theii
storrs, one by one, found that theli

night.
The first to report was Mr. Lewis,
the jeweler. The back door ol
his store had been forced open, and

Entrance was made to his store
through the back window.
Miles lost several suits of clothes
, shoes, etc. The articles were carried
off in suit cases taken from
the stock.
tfThe barber shop near the postoffice
was entered. The thieves carried
off a quantity of barber's implements.
The Carmichael Drug Company,
nearby, was entered over the transom.
Cigarettes, cigars, cash from
the money drawer were taken.
About 3.-30 o'clock in the morning
E. D. Wright, who lives on
1 East Wine street, was up, and
| heard three men coming down the
street in a run. He went to the
door and saw three men, each carrying
large bundles in their arms.
They were going toward the notorious
dives in the lower section
where so much trouble has arisen
lately.
About eight o'clock yesterday
morning a phone message was received
from Clio inquiring whether
a robbery had been committed
here last night, that a negro had
I been arrested there a few minutes
before that had a quantity of Jewelry,
clothing, etc. The description
of the goods tallied with that missed
by the Mullins merchants.
A little later a message came
from Gibson, stating that a negro
had been arrested there with a lot
of goods, a description of which
tallied with the goods taken from
the dry goods store.
Later in the day, some one pass
ing inrougn me oeauoara jaru, oueerved
a large package of goods
lying on some eroesties, This
proved to be a package of clothing
from Grover'a containing some 6uits
of clother from Glovers. Mr.
Glover was very thankful to recover
bis goods.
The prisoners, on their arrival
here, were carried in the depot and
their well packed grips opened and
examined. They were found to
contain suits of clothes, a dozen or
more pairs of shoes, underclothing.
Jewelry, hats, cigarettes, and many
other articles from the various
stores. H/uey denied that he entered
the stores, claiming he was
given the clothing found in his grip
by the others. Sheriff Wall took
