and she formed sudden resolution She
would return to the Weeds and carry the
presents herself. Her heart leapcd at the
thought Of the pleasure she was to give the
little Weeds on this New Years night, for
already the short winter afternoon was
drawing to a close.
It's four miles by the road,n thought
Aunt Grell, "but know the path through
the woods, and pll take that"
Passing a nelghbor's house she mentioned
the fact that she was going to visit the
Weeds, and then she hurried away, bur-
dened with her armful of presents, she hav-
ing added several small packages of con-
fections to the articles already mentioned.

uttered the venturesome Miss Ward, as She
entered the woods. ~ wonder if shall
have any trouble IN following the path"
The snow had ceased to fall, and Aunt
Grell found little difficulty in making her
way during the first half Of the distance.
Then night fell, and the wind increased,
while the snow was swept in great sheets
about the form Of Aunt Grell, its ierceneas
at times almost lifting her from her feet.

the slender woman, leaning gaspingly

and walked away to see his mother. He
longed to go out and try the snow, but this
was strictly forbidden for the present, and
an air of indifference, which he did by whist

floor as he walked.

Children said Aunt Grell, passing before
the store windows in the village. " Poor
dears, they have so little. If / was only
rich how much good could do But don't
seem TO be laying much by, and Pm already
rowing old. All, here is something"
Mss Ward FASTENED into the store and
priced sled and pair of skates that hung
in the window. She found them almost too
high for her slender ppFse. but could find
nothing else suitable, and purchased both
ARTICLES, and fiaxen-haired doll for Madgs.
The next thing was to get the articles tc
the Weeds. 1t was now late in the day,
and tho Weed farm was four miles from
Burktown Corners. Besides, the storm of
the morning had increased, until foot Of
snow lay on the ground, and the wind was
pilipg it in hugh drifts about the fence cor

Mr.. Weed had returned Immediately after

Once more Aunt Grell struggled to her
feet, and leaned, weak and faint against
tree.
The binding snow almost suffocated her.
Where was she2 Heaven only knew. She
had lost the path; her hat, torn from her
head, was now scurrying away into the
darkness, while face and hands were stiff
with the cold.
Lost in the woods, with the mercury al
most at zero, no wonder feeling Of despair
flied the heart Of the courageous little
woman.
Once more she essayed to move on. Her
limbs, however, seemed numb and asleep.
She staggered little distance and came
near falling again. She yet chung to the
presents she had bought for the little
Weeds. 81 must find my way out some

despair in her heart. 1t was terrible New

This thought took possession of her, and
she was on the point of sinking helplessly,
when sound fell on her ear-the Jingle of
bells.
She must be near the road. With last
desperate effort she reeled toward the
sound, caught sight of a dark object NOV
ing through the woods, then fell fainting in

feminine reporter of the New York Joar-

has been widowed for year or so, led the
way to large room on the second floor.
The door was thrown open and the reporter
took one glimpse and then started back.
The place at first sight looked like the in

"1t's the latest English fashion, don't YOU

the widow being worked in silver in the CEN

table and the little escritoire were draped in
the same manner, and at the windows were
thin curtains of black liberty silk against
white lace.
" Look here" said the pretty widow, and
she threw back the bed covers, displaying
black sheets, hemstitched in white, and
black slips on the pillows.

canaries that piped in the golden cages.
