Finally, after the music and dancing
such dancing!-a new amusement was
introduced, kind of guessing game.
| Dorothy Offering to be the first victim,
she was shut out of the room; then a
note, giving her instructions of q more
or less ridiculous order, was written,
and, after some discussion as to a hiding
place, it was eventually dropped into
my case, where it fluttcred down into my
dark interior.
First, after guessing Dhat it was,
Dorothy had to guess actere it was. This
being accomplished, she firmly refused
to reach into my dusty depths, and De
Lancoy Dyke, being at her elbow as
usual, proceeded to get it out for her.
Who can realize the intense excite
mcnt which pcrmeated every fiber of
my old box at the hope that my unwill-
ing secret would at last be exposed!
De Lancey Dykes arm cropping round
in the dark must have touched a re-
sponsive chord, for with loud whiz,
which brought forth few robust
screams from the fair ones, some of my
machinery started, while impulsively
threw up my hands, and De Lancey
sprang back. But the hand he drew
forth was not empty; it held the old,
old love-lctter.
On seeing the antique document
every one crowded around, thinking it
some Christmas joke, while De Lancey
with difficulty read the faded address,
ITO Mistress Dorothy" and handing it
to her it was slowly opened, and half a
dozen eager, curious heads soon made
out the contents, which proved to be an
eloquent declaration of love, dated one
hundred years ago, and signed Ernest
De Lancey''-a letter, the non-delivcry
of which had forever separated two low
ing hearts.
At this point ring fell from the folds
of the letter. ring which was eagerly
seized by Dc Lanccy Dyke, who, in
a rather excited voice, exclaimed:

any one realized it, he had his arm
around Dorothy and the ring on her
finger, and l think he kissed her right
on that one dimplc in the midst of tho
applause of the assembled company.
Oh! it was great consolation to mo,
that after all its years of conccalmcnt
the letter finally received Il favorable
reply. And as De Lanccy afterwards
remarked to his faacee: IF this letter

Old Mr.. Lot O. Rocks on a certain
Christmas morning was the happicst
man in three counties. A richly-up-
holstercd, hand-cmbroidCred, silvcr-tas-
selcd dressing-gown hung over his easy
chair, with an affcctionate note from
mamma. A dazzling diamond stud
twisted the suns rays out of shape on
the dresser and threw light blue CLEAN
on card: TO dearest papa, from his
lovingest daughter" A gold repeater
on the mantel licked so hard it almost
knocked a holo in the wall, and pretty
card told him it was from another Miss

penders and handkerchicfs, smoking
caps and cigar were also stacked
up in one corner of the room.
Old Rocks smothered himself in his
new gown and an excess of sentiment
for two days. He smoked himself blind
and employed a night Waterman to pro-
tect his jcwelry. He was a very proud
man-proud of himself, proud of an af
