" "Hark, the herald angels Schuyler bellowed lustily and beat time with a drumstick. Seraphlna sang with much fervor and many false notes; while little Thad followed the tune manfully, and substltued a when the words proved elusive to his memory. The second verse brought to a successful Usue, Schuyler dismissed the chorus and turned to the door. "You see 't you can't teach Tbad the words of that second verse while s go downstairs and get some for the censer," he told Seraphlna. Schuyler Van Brunt was working under difficulties. Doctor Post bad told blm of the old English custom of singing carols In the streets on Christmas morning. It had taken a strong bold on the boy's fertile Imagination so strong a hold that he had planned to smuggle Seraphlna and Tbad from the house, when Christmas came, and to sing a carol outrof-door- s In true English fashion. Then, Just when be needed Doctor Post's advice most, there had been some vague trouble between the doe-to- r and Aunt Margaret. Aunt Margaret no longer wore the diamond ring on the third finger of her left hand, and Doctor Post came no more to the bouse. It wss very disheartening. Schuyler wanted to ask Doctor Post a core of questions about the carols. Did the people who sang them wear surplices, like the choir boys In the Christmas procession at St Jude'sT Did they stand still or march around while they sang? These and othor points sadly taxed bis Intellect Cut bis determination to sing that carol In the street never faltered. Hence the secret rehearsals In the nursery. After much deliberation, he decld (Hi that surplices would lend dignity to the occasion, and this decision was furthered by the thought that nightgowns would mske very passable surplices. Then, a tomato can suggesting possibilities, be added a censer to the properties. A tomato can punched full of holes, swung on the gilt cord that comes about candy boxes, and filled would make with burning a beautiful censer. It was Christmas Eve, and Scbuy-W- l plans were complete. He felt suee they would put up a very creditable carol In the morning, even If Doctor Post's advice bad not been obtainable. As be crept upstairs with the Joss-ntlcwhich he had begged from Agnes, the second girl, he t that the last obstacle bad ben surmounted. "Come on now, once more," he said as he entered the nursery door. "Elsa will be up with supper In a minute. We've Just time before she comes. Stand up, Tbad. Yen.

'lii tiptoed to rWafchina's little white cot and Indulged In a series of vigorous shakes and punches. "Get up! Get up, Reraphina! It's time to go out and carol," be whispered hoarsely. Seraphlna arose, and, sitting on the slde.of h?r bed. blinked at hlra Little Thad was already awake and ready for anything which savored of exciting novelty. The two elder children dressed hurriedty, and between them thpy managed to put oa little Thad's clothes. Then Schuyler crept noiselessly to the hall below and returned with coats and hats and mittens. When they had bundled themselves Into these outer garments, each donned a "surplice." At the last moment Schuyler bethought him of the brilliant cord on his father's bathrobe, and at the Imminent peril of discovery he stole Into Mr. Van ftrunfa "reMing room and returned with the roveted cord encircling bis small waist Th's finishing touch, he felt g "la-la-la- " four-year-o- Joss-stick- eight-year-ol- Joss-stick- k. ff-l- k sure, made him quite like the altar boys at St Jude's.

"Shut up!" he said disgustedly. "Do you want Elaa to come out and sneak us back into the bouse? Come on, now!" He led the way down the steps and around the corner, where he paused to light the Joss-sticIn the tomato can.. When they started again, little Thad tripped on his night gown surplice and went sprawling Into the gutter. He was rescued, bowling; but not until he had been promised unlimited candy could the march be taken up again. "Who are you going to sing your carol toT' demanded the practical Seraphlna. "Ninny! To no one In particular." said Schuyler. "You ought to sine It to some one," she persisted. "Well, who?" be challenged: but Seraphlna was unsble to defend her point thus specifically. "Ill tell you,' be compromised, "well go to Doctor Post's. Well sing It on the way, and sing It to him. too." Through the deserted suburban streets they marched; Schuyler In the lead, swinging his smoking censer val lantly; Seraphlna ambling along In his wake; and little Thad bringing up the rear, his strange surplice bearing unmistakable evidence of the gutter from which he had been recently flshed. And on the still winter Mir rose the three childish voices In the old, old hymn. Doctor Post beard them caroling on the lawn, and came to the door In his bathrobe.
