rounded body well set out by the pol
ished oaken door, and her bright face
turned up to him with an expression
which a holder man might have almost
construed as an invitation, George felt
that he would have given the value of
all the buildings that he ever hoped to
plan, to tell her how much he thought
of her.
He was somewhat surprised at her
sudden movement, or as much so as he
ever permitted himself to be at any of
her actions, which were generally un-
accountable from a masculine stand
point. He only thought that if she
were going to appear in the character
of jailer, he could stand q life SEN
tence with considerable equanimity.

are not thinking of making a Christ

George owned that he had taken the
matter into serious consideration.
"And you are determined to persist
in doing SO in spite of my disap-
proval?" she asked, with smile that
must have warned him that her disap-
proval would not be of serious ma
ture, for he had the fine presence of
mind to signify firmly that he was not
only adamant in that respect but even
iridium.

at his sufficiently assertive chin; land

''That is awfully nice of you," said
Rose; 'but be sure to remember not to
get anything until you hear from me.
I will let you know in good time.
Must you really go now?' she asked;
for George, with the fortuitous absent
mindedness of truly bashful man,
had placed his hand over hers on the
knob of the door. ''Good night, then. -
she said, as it yielded to their united
efforts, and George found himself
standing outside on the steps. He
raised his hat as the door closed gem
thy, as if it were reluctant to shut him
out from her presence.
That night George drew some pre-
liminary sketches of the Spanish
chateau, that were full of detail as to
the chatelaine, but hazy as to the
stairways.
After that, he saw Rose quite often
before it was time for the green
wreaths to hang in the parlor win
dows; but she always said that she
was not ready to tell him what kind of
a present she wanted. It was not un-
til Christmas Eve that he received a

Of her. He left the rest to fate, and
contented himself with drawing the
designs for magnificent and glittering
castles in Spain.
When George went to call on Rose
that evening, he tried to be as CHEEKY
and animated as usual, but his nervous
and absorbed manner must have given
her some hint of the heavy load of
anxiety he was carrying; for, as he
stood drawing on his overcoat in the
hall, after the last good nights had
been said, she threw herself across the
outside door. and barred his egress.

for the generosity of our wealthy classes
and the heroic work done by our charit-
able organizations, that in no other
nation on the globe are those who
live in poverty and want SO well re-
membered on Christmas as are the
poor classes of America. But there is
a class which is not reached by the
donations of the wealthy, or by the
work of charitable organizations.
There are in this country thousands of
homes into which reverses of fortune
come each year, where death or bust
ness failure causes the keenest heart
anguish and the severest self-denial.
These homes contain sensitive natures
which shrink from the outstretched
hand of charity. Poor and proud is the
name the world has for them. Perhaps;
but let me tell you. my friend, it is not
easy to receive charity when all your
life you have dispensed it. A reversal
of fortune is the hardest thing in this
world to bear. The poor know not it's
tortures. It is the keenest kind of
poverty. Into such homes would 1
direct, at Christmas-tide, some loving
kindness. In this country where one
is up to-day and down tomorrow,
there is not one of us but who, in his
or her acquaintance, knows of an in

thing from you go into such a home.

REMEMBER THE CHILDREN.

Let the Domestic Spirit of the Christmas
Time Pervade the Whole Year.
Christmas is prominently a day of
domestic pleasure. And it is to be re-
GREETED that the cheerfulness, good
will and domesticity of Christmas do
not pervade the entire year. Christ
mas is about the only season when
busy American fathers take time to
realize that children are the poetry of
the world, the fountains of love, the
flowers of home, the incarnations of
the smile of God and benedictions from
Heaven.
(, A father-who usually left home be-
fore the children had gone to bed
coming out of his house one morning
found his little boy playing in the gut
ter and boxed his ears. When his
mother asked him what was the mat
ter he replied: "A man hit me-
''What man?' "The man that stays
here Sundays" The busiest man
should find at least few moments
every day to give to his children. A
father never seems SO interesting as
when during the Christmastide he be-

your children. Make the days of child

"DEAR GEORGE: find that have neglected

for our winter outing, and mother wants me to
ask you to join us for as many days as you can
spare from business l hope you will come and

George accepted this invitation with
alacrity. He put an ''Out of Town"
sign on his Office door, and left the big
building to its own devices.

him much, for it was only a small mat
ter in connection with his business.
He was a young architect graphing
with his first large order, the erection
OF thirteen-story Office building.
In one corner of the lot which the
structure was to occupy troublesome
bit of quiclksand had been discovered;
but he knew several ways of overcom-
ing quieksand, and it only remained
for him to choose the best of them.
The other question was more impor-
tant and difficult.
What sort of Christmas present
should he give to a girl who had always
had everything she wanted from her
cradle up?
He could estimate exactly the tensile
strength of any species of building ma
terial, or the number of pounds weight
that steel truss would have to sus-
tain, but he knew no formula that
would help him in such case as this
The trouble seemed to be that while
George could look at the building from
a coldly professional standpoint, he
could take no such view of anything
which concerned Roses happiness.
He was not in love with the gigantic
mass of brick and iron; but he was
violently, and, so far as he knew,
hopelessly in love with her.
He was willing to give her anything
that would please her, but he doubted
the good taste of q too lavish expen-
diture. No; it must be some elegant
trifle that she had never seen before,
and that would move her irresistibly
to Love the Giver." Something that
would give her a hint of the condition
of his heart, and prepare her for the
words he hoped to utter, some day.
Rose Wyckoff was the daughter of q
man who valued the substantial fruits
of the harvest above the pink and
white buds of the springtime.
Most of Georges prospects were still
in the bud. When that big building
was really finished, and one or two
more that he hoped to get the orders
for under way, it would be soon
enough to approach the old gentleman.
Although George had very clear
idea of what Mr.. Wyckoff would say if
he spoke now, he could gain no idea Of
what Rose would say; but he was
grimly determined to try to be worthy

Rose stood close to George, looking
far out over the fields and woods and
groups of cottages, and gazing with
thoughtful eyes on the sound, where
the snow-covered ice-cakes glistened

day last during the storm, and took fire
A second barn which was stan ding near

Guedes set to work to turn the cows out
and found two OF them killed by the
shock. He succeeded In loosing the
others and turned them out OF the burn
ing building. He then proceeded to re-
lease his horses. While engaged in this
work the released COWS persisted in re-
turning to the burning building. An
old man named Louis Kroenning who
was spending the night at Guedes, rush
ed into the burning building to drive the
cows out. He never returned and when
the fire had burned out his bones were
found near the door of the stable He
evidently was overcome while attempting
to escape.
He was man about 60 years of age
