''No quail, this time, she remarked gaily
to me aside.
"we haven't any squads, old fellow, " said
the husband privately.
Neither quail nor SQUAD was on the table,
but roast beef, which could lead to no ap-

room door opened, and the maid announced

inst as we had finished the beef and were
waiting for the salad, in the silence of per
feet contentment, what did Hawsley do but
go over to his wife and kiss her. He was
moved first by his good meal, and then by
his regret for the memorable scene OF the

"that last year, just because of some
wretched squads"
"Quail, dearest, quail. she interposed.
''Oh. no, my darling, / made inquiries;

''Quail!''
WelII This time it was truly frightful.
There was nothing more TO be done. Two

This time little Mrs. Hawsley did not cry.
She rose TO her full height little pale. and
with dilating nOstrils, and turned toward
me.
''Sir, l claim you as my witness"
Then she called for her hat, pretty little

tains. especially near what is called the
Horseshoe and you will find train OF cars
almost doubling on itself, and sitting in the
back car you see locomotive coming as
YOU look out the window, and you think it
IS another train, when it is only the front of
the train in which you are riding; and
sometimes YOU can hardly tell whether the
train is going toward Pittsburg or toward
Philadelphia, but it is on the track, and 1t
will reach tine depot for which it Is started,
and all the passengers will be dis

there are a great many sharp
curves in life. Sometimes we seem to be
going this way, and sometimes we seem to
be going that way; but if we are Christians
we are on the right track and we are going
to come out at the right place. Do not get
worried, then, about the sharp curve. A
sailing vessel starts from New York for
Glasgow. Does it go in a straight line?
oh, no. 1t changes its tack every little
while. Now, you say, ''This vessel, instead
of going to Glasgow, must be going to HaVre.
or it is going to Hamburg, or it is going to
Marseilles. No, no. 1t is going to Glas-
gow And in this voyage of life we often
have to change our tacks. One storm blows
us this way, and another storm blows us
that Way; but He who holds the winds in
His fist will bring US into haven Of ever
lasting rest, Just at the right time. Do not
worry, then, If you have to change tacks.
We three may eat pleasant Christmas
dinner vet.
