In moonlit scenes a youth asks a talking figure for buried treasure to aid a sick father. The figure reveals there is no treasure but promises funds to go south. Dr Harding and Carl Maxwell reunite in a warm study, then tension arises as Maxwell reveals anger toward Sidney and a threat lingers.
A fallen man named Carl confesses an attempted theft of three thousand dollars but, moved by a clergyman and two children, seeks redemption. Maxwell vows to abandon crime, pursue a clean life, and earn a place in the world as family joy welcomes him at four o'clock on Christmas Day.
A poem contrasts a jailed youth blamed as a criminal with a harsh social world. It questions who bears guilt for a deprived upbringing and the justice of locking away a child born in squalor. The speaker vs. society debate the morality of punishment and missed innocence.
Greek lore describes “lame needles” as nocturnal goblins visiting at Christmas. The leader arrives Christmas Eve with others on Christmas Day, entering homes via chimneys. They are dangerous only after sunset, and households burn embers and display crosses to deter them. Priests bless each home, then Epiphany drives them underground again.
A string of pithy, unrelated lines satirize wages beliefs and vanity. The narrator cites a life insurance agent, revivalist rhetoric, legends as lies, and a polar explorer recalling scarce supplies while homesick for jam and treats.
A 1909 tale follows Thomas and Maude from childhood sweethearts to twenty seven year old lovers living in the Mullins parlor. Despite social pressure and whispers, they marry after years of happiness only to face an unhappy, unsettled future.
In Tokyo the Protestant Episcopal mission runs two boarding schools for girls with about 350 students. Japanese principals teach, two foreign missionaries.
