still, so dim; and like dream form, pres

some one-camc stepping down the shallow
stairs.
At tho first landing she paused, looked
over and listened. A white hand clasped
tho dark cloak at her taroat like millS-fair
pearl. Two lips, i,aie INK as the inner sur
face OF sen shell, Tarc gravcly purscd to-
gether with anxious yet subtly mirthful
curves; and two eyes, husky as the night,
yet lit as the hall was with lurking glow,
poered open-lidded and eager from face
as warmly pallid as the chaste head carved
on pink cameo.
1t yet lacked thirty minutes of twelve;
and, mindful of the fleeing moments of that
half-hour of grace, Audricn tipped on deli
cate feet down the second flight OF steps,
through the hail to tho front door. 1t had
been left unlocked fer John; and for fear
that, coming IN her absence, John might
fasten her out, she slid the key from its
socket, turned the bot and stepped forth
into the velvet darkness.
Waiting few moments ON the porch till
her wide eyes had learned to penetrate o
space round her in the gloom, she went eau
tiously yet hastily forward. The stars
were shining hopefully at their far-away
posts-the air was balmy as only south
land winter air can be--the scent of wet
grasses and perished leaves inspiring its
stiffness with pungent fragrance.
Audrien had set her hurried foot upon
the grass-facing churchward, when sud

tuned ear. Some one was coming from the
gate-she could detect the vague blur of his
moving figure against the dense blackness
behind him.
In ,trice she had sped to meet him,

"She's gone, aunty's gone," sighed little
Madge, dolefully, and when the failing snow
hid the travellers, Johnnie uttered a pro-
longed whistle to keep down his feelings,
and walked away to see his mother. He
longed TO 60 out and try the snow, but this
was strictly forbidden for the present, and
the boy must needs hide his troubles under
an air Of Indifference, which he did by whist

floor as he walked.

who "turn over q new leaf" on New

mng Of new year is q most fitting time TO
leave off bad habits, to resolve to profit by
mistakes and follies Of the past, and to 20
through the new year better than you did
the old one.
SO pay no attention TO tho current gibcs
and jecrs at the custom Of swearing off on
the New Year," and If you see mistakes
and follies that you desire to abandon and
to leave forever behind, now is the time TO
do it. The fact is, you should have done

own habits at any time, and should never
wait until any particular day for making

A Queer Accident.

A few days ago John Sweeny
had bull calf born on his place
that had a deformed tail. The
appendage to the animal turned up
over its back like the tail of pig.
Mr.. Sweeny was quite put out at
the unsightly appearance Of the
calf, and ut last hit the happy idea
of a mechanical remedy.
He fastened an iron weight of
about two pounds to the end of the
tail which took the twist out and
pulled it down in proper posi-
ton.
The scheme worked very nice
ly and Mr.. Sweeny blowing on a
large dinner horn called in the hired
help to witness the success Of his
scheme.
While all hands were admiring
the science and forethought display
ed by Sweeny, the cslf, becoming
suddenly possessed of a friskey
gamblesome spirit, not unusual in
Spring calves, began to jump about
and flourish its hind quarters IN
the air and giving its tail a sudden
switch off went the two pound
weight and hit Mr.. Sweeny lick
under The ear that Knocked him off |
his pins in the arms of his Fore
man, while the calf scampered off |
into the field delighted with its
trick
Nearly hogshead of water was
poured over Sweeny before he came
10 and now he declares that that
calf goes 20 the butcher as soon as
he can catch 1t.
