Not an ordinary watch meeting, but a
big one-a union meeting n which tie
CONGREGATIONS of the four churches of
the village were to unite and wait in
prayer for the going out of the old year
and hail with praise the coming in Of
th- new.
John Marston, the villages leading
representative abroad, was expected to
be there, and on New Years night he
was to have grand party at the Mars
ton home, where all might welcome him
back again.
In the preliminary preparations Mary
Palvey was unusually active, if it was
unusual for the busy little woman to be
active on any occasion of this kind, and
there was CHEEKY light in her face
which made her very presence warm,
albeit a f1ecking cloud fell athwart it at
intervals and left shadow there.
For Mary's head and her heart had
not been harmonious during the three
years gone, and more than one disagree

as q great weight. May could endure
it no longer. Quietly and unobserved
she slipped ont into the open air.
1t was relief to her, and she walked
away into the stiffness under the voice
less stars, over the crisp and crystal
snow, until she came to the little chapel
at the edge of the town where on Sun
days she played the organ for the choir.
| Unconsciously she turned into the
churchyard.
She knew where tine sexton kept the
key under a corner of the step, and
opening the door, she passed III and down
the aisle to her accustomed place.

her shoulders with little shiver and sat
down on tho organ stool.
But not with music or song in her
heart.
She had waited for John and he had
not come.
She had longed for him and there was
no response.
She had wept for him, down there
among the watchers, and she was angry
with herself.
But here, alone IN the silent darkness
she bowed her head upon her hands and
prayed.

YER and worth at least enough to tempt
a rural robber, and everybody knew the
strong box OF the chapel was strong
box only in name.
She was frightened nearly out Of her
senses. but enough remained to warn
her hat her only safety lay in hiding
behihd the organ and giving the thief
the right of way to everything in his
path.
Slowly, she heard that dreadful step
slipping along the aisle, creaking as it
came. She had to exert every energy of
her will TO keep from screaming, and the
slip-slip-creak-c came nearer and
nearer.
At the end of the aisle it stopped, as if
In doubt which way to turn, and her
heart beat slower; then it passed, still
slipping, over 10 the other corner, and
she gave faint sigh of relief.
She couldn't have prevented it if she
had died for it, she was certain.
On the instant the sickening, awful,
invisible stepping ceased; then it seemed
10 turn toward her.
Nearer and nearer it came, until she
kon1d hear the hraathing until tho
hands cautiously cropping in the dark
lid along the organ top and touched
ler.
She shrank away, but there was
quick start and two great hands clutched
her, and their fingers crawled up to her
throat.
She tried to scream then, but she
could not.
1t was as if she was in frightful
nightmare.
"Hold on! I've got you, you darned
thief!' came voice, suppressed and ter
rible, and with it came the last remain
ing vestige of poor Mary's wits.
''Oh, john" she gasped.
Then she tainted dead away.

before, and carried her outside.
He looked down upon the still. white
face as the light from the snow shone
upon it, and with great bound in his
heart he stopped and kissed her.
Then how all the little stars did
twinkle, twinkle, and Mary opened her
eyes.
The next moment she was on her feet
and mad.
Mary's head was triumphing now.
Come" she said, ''there's watch
meeting at the hall, Mr.. Marston, and l
should be there; not here"
''With your hand in mine, Mary" he
answered her, standing fast.
She put her hand in his then, and thus
they walked back, and as the watchers
rose from their knees with song CT re-
joicing and praise, John and Mary, hand
in hand, cana in with the new year.
