Attaches to it, for on learning of his sick
ness and removal young lady friend wrote
him letter of sympathy. 1t was the first
one read on his recovery among many from
anxious relatives in the East, and the notes
and friendly words that had collected on his
table. "I'll marry that girl if l can get
her" he said to himself as he finished it.
and as sure as he lived he did marry her,
and now she is very glad he had the small
pox, and that she wrote him that little
letter. Whoever would think of romance
and smallpox in the same breath. Every
body is being re-vaccinated, and at two

for doctors kilograms have been sent
East for fresh supply of vaccine, and
everything appears as though San Francisco
was ready to nip smallpox in its budding.

arranged, the wo0f or tiliinu was spun IN
the same way, and each thread woven ia
by hand and with the greatest care In
this manner tour women would make
four fine blankets in about three months.

Ideals.

Lofty aims are better than low bred
desire. High purposes create heroic
deeds. Nobility OF soul is not an acct
dent of birth, bit an expression of true
manhood IN this life of endless toll and
daily round, ideals play an important
part. It is tue they are the creatures of
the orcin, but they often index the heart
and control individual ACTON. Tee dream
TO be noble, generous and manly, fires
the heart of the school boy and throws
witching romance over his expanding
years. Life to hin, as it rolls onward is
to be filled with chivalrous deeds and
Crowned with noble triumphs. AS he
reads Of the splendid achievements Of
men of renown, lofty idels sweep through
MS brain and his soul stirs with active
purpose to platt banners Of glory when
Others waved then in grand victory.
And who shall condemn these revellings
O. the fancy, or soarings of the will9 Are
they not better 70 cherish than base
toughts, selfish aims, and. unholyi mag
iningsg The former are lar as above the
latter as the eagle, who scars in the face
Of the sun, 90 the cat that, wsth el6n
wing, beats the air only when darkness
setting,
AS mountain SUBMITS reflect the glory
opening day, so do high ideals image
the divine creation III man. 1t is far
better fer the young man to put On the
harness of life with open brow and sunny
heart, than to &C forth with suspicious
tread and crawling gait. To look out
upon the world with vision clear and
purpose noble, is more exalted than to
gaze with prejudiced eyes and revenge
full spirit. High places are won through
heroic deeds, and crowns sparkle the
brightest when worn as the fruit Of manly
courageous toll. Hereditary kings are
not the ouly mobiles. There are others
of nobility higher. Goodness, gentleness,
truth love mercy honor wovee into the
web OF life according to the dattern OF
lofty ideal, furnish badge and in
sigma of royalty garnder and truer than
uhe or6ers that blaze on jeweled thrones.
Work then according to the high pattern

LOST AND FOUND.
a Christmas Story.
CHAPTER I.
THE WANDERING WOMAN.

THE WANDENINa WOMAN.
Would It never ceaSef we asked as we
sat looking out from the window, and
watched the big, feathery fakes. Driven
here and there III wild swlrIs and eddles,
by the wind, "thick as the NOTES that
people the sunbeams," the snow came
down, obsCuring the air, oblltel ating the
ways, blurring the sharp outline of the
trees, and muffiing all the sounds of out
door life. For nearly week there had
been sharp frost. The ice had rung with
the healthy music of the skates. And
then, without the frost breaking up, the
snuw had begun to fall on Sunday night;
1t HAD showed all day on Monday, all
Monday night, and now, after breakfast
on Tuesday morning, it was showing as
hard as ever. Would it never cease?',
we asked.
ltWas but eleven o'clock, and the train
was not due at Thornley, till three. 1t
was calculated that if the road was pas
sable at ali, an hour would surely be
enough for the three miles drive So till
two o'clock there was no event to fill up
the time save lunch; at least there was no
event that we knew of.
By-and-by, old Margaret came IN and
said there was a poor woman in the
kitchen whom she thought the dog
"Fury" had frightened out of her wits
because she could not speak word
she -kargaret-could understand. Some
two or three of US went to see our strange
visitor.
We soon found that she was no more
npl j.
spalr, and exhausted. She could not
speak one word of English, and we found
our little stock OF French, so neglected
as it was, very inadequate for conversing
with her in her own tongue. 1t was
enough for her, however, that at last she
had actually some one who had heard of
France, and who knew there was such a
language as the French.
The poor woman's tale was this: Her
husband was dead. Her two little girls
were just old enough TO work at the
straw plating, bat not old enough to
walk all day with her in this terrible
weather. Her money had been Just
enough to pay their fare from BirmIng-
ham to Dunstable, and she had sent
them Oft by rail that morning At Dun
stable they would lind good French
woman who would take care OF them.
But she herself had not money enough TO
ride, so had set out to walk from Biz
mingham to Dunstable, distance of
some hundred miles, for which walk she
had allowed herself three days. And now
this morning, to begin with. she found
she had got four miles out of her wav.
She could find no one to put her right,
the snow was preventing her from walk
ing at half the pace she had hoped to
walk, and she could not in any way oct
to her work at the time she had promised
to be there. She was strong. coarse
featured woman; evidently very poor.
and not at all sentimental. But she did
not beg, either directlyor indirectly. She
was evidently careful to avoid 1t. She
warmed herself by the fire, but when
