mingled with her affection for herlover,
there were also much Of surprise and
Indignation in her heart
And now during her convalescene she
longed for him more than her aunt
imagined, particularly when all the
earth rejoiced in the Christmas time,
and There should have been only ''peace,
good will amongst men,"
Little Harry climbed upon the arm OF
her chair presently, and for want OF
something else to talk about, touched
upon the very subject Mabel would
have avoided.
II say, Cousin NAB, why don't that
man come and see US any moree-the
one who liked goa best of all of US, you
know"
Mabel felt the warm blood coursing
swiftly over her face, but she replied
quietly enough:
II do not know that he will ever come
again, dear. Maybe he has gone far
awayI Never mind Tell me what you
found in your Christmas stocking this
morningp''
The church bells ceased ringing, the
streets were comparatively quiet after
the throng of church-going people had
ended, and by and by little Harry
limped out to the doorstep to talk
to little neighbor next door.
Mabel, from her chair before the fire,
could hear the childish voices as the
children discussed the gifts of Santa
Claus eagerly, until ere long she grew
drowsy, and, resting her head against
the chair, closed her sad eyes, and it
was while thinking of her lover and
praying for him on this Christmas morn
ing, that presently she fell asleep.
Meanwhile Harry, childlike in his de-
sire to see what good gifts had come to
his neighbor that morning, hobbled rs
fast as his little clutches could move,
down the stoop and into the next house,
leaving the street-door ajar, and quite
forgetful of Mabel, who slumbered
peacefully on, nor dreamed of one who
stole softly in at the open street-door,
and, with fast beating heart, entered
the parlor, his eyes shining with tears,
not unmanly.
When the young girl opened her eyes
it was at the close clasp Of Louis Grant ;
eager hands, and his kiss closed her
lips ere she could speak or exclaim.
Eyes, it is 1! Oh, my darling! Oh,
Mabel, for the sake of Christmas Day,
take me back again and forgive all my
faultr' ..e implored, almost crushing
the fragile form in his strong arms.
No matter what passed then between
the two. Suffice it to know that the
long-estranoed hearts came once more
closely together, as, hand-in-hand, Louis
Grant and Mabel awaited Mrs. Grey's
return from church.
When she came-the forgetful Harry
joining her at the door-she started on
seeing that her niece had company: but
Mabel with now light in her eyes, and
a new ring in her voice, cried:
"Come, auntie. for l have had another
Christmas gift; the best, the dearest of
all gifts, for Louis has come back to
me, auntie, and there is Peace on
earth! for us all -

The dollar" Mark

It has been supposed that the dollar
mark Is a union of the two letters u.
s., but such is not the fact. The two
parallel lines represent the pillars Of
Hercules, which. according to ancient
stories, stand at the Straits Of Gibraltar,
one on the rock of Gibraltar and the
other on Abyla or Centa. on the Afri-
can coast. These mountains. which
stand at the entrance to the Mediterra-
mean, are still known to sailors a. the
''pillars. Charles l., Of Spain, adopted
these pillars. held together by scroll.
% his device, and he had the mark
placed upon the Spanish dollar.

They do not hurt, so we do not care;
And the laugh Is long, and the laugh IL loud
For there never was such jolly crowd.
And faster and faster the horses run,
As II thcy,really enjoyed the fun,
While the bells go Jingle, Jingle, too,
as If they knew
That this rolicking, frolfcking, noisy crew
We're on the way to Grandma'sI
Wen soon be there! we'll soon be therei
The Christmas fun and feast to share;
The walls will ring and the rafters shake
With the terrible tlmult we will make;
And the old folks then will be young and gay
As they join I'm our mirth on Christmas day,
For II cOmeth but once year, you know,
And ought to be full of good cheer, you know
So on Christmas morning we always go
To have a good time at Grandma'st
