Then as he left the florists he walked
up the wide white residence street
towards the old home. 1t stood dark
as prison in the great white square
OF snow-covered lawn. Only away In
the rear one window glowed with light
where Meg was sitting at her lonely
tea.

as she opened the door for him. We'll,

her arm around his shoulders as she
used TO do when he was a child and
she wanted TO talk to him earnestly.
Are you always going 70 live like this,
Hamilton, with the old house shut up
and you at the Cslb?"
"Oh. | guess not. Meg. But you see l

is the house? In good repair?"
He got up and walked into the dining
room, where Meg had built a fire In the
fireplace. for she kept the rooms in per-
feet order always, The glass candelabra

out of his counting-room door. Sleigh
bells were juggling. and the frosty air
sparkled under the bright street lights.
II he had looked up he would have
seen that the stars were like young
Indian moons.
Warmly clad as he was, the cold air
chilled him, and for a moment his
mind reverted to Ellens letter received
that morning. in which she had said:
II hardly know how to keep the
children warm this Winter. Since their
fathers death / have taken in sewing
but times are so hard now II Is almost
impossible to get the necessaries OF
life. For the sake OF our mother, Ham
ilton, won't you help me to find some
thing to do?"
For just n moment he wondered II
things really were as bad as that, then
he met Armstrong and they walked up
to their dinner together,
As they met the tide OF holiday gift
buyers Armstrong said: What are you
going to do for Christmas this year.
Hamilton? Going to fill somebody s
stocking? oh. forgot, you haven't any
relatives here"
Armstrong had known Ellen in her
school days, and was not afraid to speak
of her to Hamilton.
"Where is Ellen now, June2 She and
I Used 70 be great chums. / suppose she
has forgotten all about us here"
The letter In June's pocket seemed to
press against him as he answered: II
! have not heard from her In some time"

And as Jose filled his glass after his
dinner and brought a plate of dainty
cakes, he couldn't forget what Ellen had
said about its being 80 hard to provide
her children with bread.
The wine was left untasted, and so
were the cakes, and Hamilton June
did something he had not done before
for years; he got up from the table
and slipped on his coat and went out
without having any fixed plan as to
where he was going.
He stood on the wide steps OF the
club for moment as the wind swept
around the church corner opposite and
cut his cheeks as 1t passed; then he
went down and walked up the street
Outside a florists store, as he passed,
a small boy was guarding boxes OF
holly and mistletoe. The boy was
jumping up ana down and slapping
his arms and putting out his checks to
keep himself warm.
He was a very small boy, much too
small 10 be at work on such a night,
and his thin jacket was little protec-
ton from the cold.
Hamilton June was attracted by the
brightness OF the mass OF holly, and
he paused and took up a bunch. The
small boy kept an eye on him as he
held II in his hand. and then when
he caught Hamilton's eye he said. with
the calm audacity Of youth: "Its pretty
isn't it?'
Eyes. it's pretty" and then a. the

letters had come in her handwriting. but
the elder June had burned them unread
Then he had died and Hamilton was left
his sole heir.
To be left the sole heir OF a millionaire
means a great deal to some men. But to
a man without chick nor child, nor kith
nor kin, a man who has let business
absorb him all his life, who has been
touched by the fingers Of gain inherited
and acquired. it does not mean so much
after all.
After a time all the servants were dis

toms and Ellen's nurse and later their
companion and adviser, almost a second
mother to them. She remained In the
house. although most of the rooms were
closed. Hamilton lived mostly at the
club. quiet, conservative club. where he
met but few, and where he could have
personal comforts without the trouble
OF planning them.
The first suggestion OF holiday time

Prudential said that he made no re-

Grim Presents for the Czar.

The czar, has had a good many un- pleasantnesses of late. Among num- Der of documents awaiting his sigma ture, which had been placed on his ta- ble, says Vanity Fair, he found a sen- tence of death against the emperor of all the Russias, to be carried out in twenty-four hours. It stamped by the Society for the Liberation of the Russians" and it was impossible to dis cover how it had found place on the czar's table. A few days later the ezar found skull in one of the bedrooms, on the frontal bone of which was writ ten Alexander. Gen. Tscherevin, who is in charge of the palaces, re- gently dismissed all of the emperor's servants and replaced them by old soldiers. He also made a thorough ex- animation of the palaces and grounds, with view of discovering any secret passeges that may exist there.

The New Penal Settlement Which Will
 Succeed Siberia.
 A St. Petersburg letter says that it has been decreed by the czar's govern ment that Siberia is too good for con- victs, and as soon as the new Trans Siberia railway has penetrated its gloomy depths it will be turned into paradise" for agricultural settlers and mining sharps, while nihilists and oth- CT refractory members of Russian soci- ety will in the future be accommodated on the island of Sagahlin, off the coast of Russian Manchuria. the eastern ter minus Of the czar's possessions, north of Japan. So revolting and horrible to civilized nations is Sagahlin that the czar consented to it's adoption as all open air prison only after the assassi- nation of Carnot and the discovery of the recent plots against his own life. The people and the convicts of Siberia never speak of the island other than s'the hell of Saghalin," and its climate is said to be so much worse than that of Siberia as to rob this appellation of an exaggerated character. even in the

The governor of Manchuria has reported that human being not, born on the island cannot live more zsthan year there. There is no means of escape eX- cept in the winter, when, if a prisoner can manage to make his way one hum dred miles north from the prison, it is possible to reach the main land over the ice. The ice bridge is guarded; still, two or three prisoners have es- capped by dodging behind masses of snow and ice, or, what is far more prob able, by bribing officials. At the pres ent moment the most interesting colo mist of Sagahlin is Sophia Bluhstein, full-blooded Russian, in spite of her German name. She first achieved crim- inal renown by pressing her attentions upon the shah of Persia during the latter's visit to St. Petersburg. Sophie had avowedly no intention of adding his majesty to her list of admirers. but sought his acquaintance merely for the purpose of relieving him, if possible, of some of his diamonds. She was foiled in her efforts, but succeeded in having her private car attached to the shahs special train. For this piece of enter prise she was banished to Siberia for a year, and while there organized band of cutthroats and robbers whose ser vices she controlled on the continent after their terms had expired. She is said to be the sharpest criminal living, and in sending her to Saghalin the Rus sian government claims to have con ferred lasting benefit upon the wealthy classes y -a

Taking a Telephone to Bed.

A doctors profession requires him, if he seeks convenience and comfort, to have two telephones-one in his office and one in his bedroom. As anyone who hasuto pay tribute to the tele- phone knows, says the Pittsburgh Tele- graph, their charges hardly represent the progress that has been made in other lines in the world in cheapening commodities. But necessity is the mother of invention, and doctor in the East End found way to have the convenience of two telephones and yet only pay for one. He has his tele- phone hung upon hooks in his office, the connections being made by the telephone coming in contact with an electric board which he has had con- structed. He also has wires run to his bedroom, where another electric board has been placed. The doctor may be said to take his telephone to bed with him every night. He takes it from the hooks in his office, carries it under his arm up to his bedroom, and places it upon the hooks there. Should any calls come during the night, he can answer them without leaving his room, thereby getting the use of two telephones for the price of one. ss<

The Dolphin's Changing Colors.

It is popular impression among most people that while dolphin is in its death struggle it changes color to almost every hue of the rainbow. While making a trip by water from New York to New Orleans few months ago, says traveller in the St. Louis Republic, the mate of the vessel caught 8 dolphin early one morning, and the passengers were summoned on deck to see it change color as it lay gasping in the agonies of death. The colors were certainly very beautiful, but not nearly as vivid as had been expected. These fish are not especial .favorites from a gastronomic point of view, being rather dry and tasteless. The one caught by the mate was fried for breakfast, the cook taking the precaution to put sill
 yer half-dollar in the pan while cook ing it, to make sure that the fish had not been feeding on something poison ous, which is said to be sometimes the case. If the silver becomes tarnishedr itwould not be safe to eat the fish.

ANGLO-INDIAN WOMEN.
There Are More Sorts Than MT. Kipling
 Has Introduced to Us.


 Has Introduced to Us.
 The Anglo-Indian woman is a more varied type than ever MT. Kipling's versatile pen has made her. Accord ing to the description of one sojourner in the land of the Hindoos, says the New York Recorder, the Mrs. Aauk- shoes are no more common than the women burning for desire for knowl- edge and parading views on the educa- tion of the native women. She goes about armed with notebook in which she dots down the information she re- ceives. She insists upon visiting 'Pur- dah" ladies and gives them advice about the abolition of child marriage and the necessity for intellectual de- velopment for women. She always wears a solar ''topee," with a gauge veil around it, even at afternoon par ties, where everyone blossoms like the rose in gorgeous apparel. She con- verses with the native butler concern ing the status of his people and quotes him largely among the people who dis play shameful indifference on the
 
 The athletic young woman does not flourish to quite the same degree in India as in England. The climate is against it. But modified form of the athletic girl in the mans woman" is a prominent feature of society. She rides well and has a graceful seat and pretty figure, but long rides and long walks tire her. She dresses beauti- fully, whether in tailor-made gowns at the meets, or sheeny ball gowns, or graceful tea robes It is in these last that she is most herself. In them she manages to seem more cordial, more hospitable, almost more tender than in anything else.
 But the commonest type is the simu- lated simpleton. She cannot ride her own pony. She is afraid of him; he once shied and she fell off, but she thinks she might manage to mount that dear little Arab of Capt. Wards if he would take her for short and very quiet ride. She feels the heat dread fully. Madras is such trying climate, but she could not possibly undertake IAAC yOuAhCy CO NhC hhlS d1OnS. OAc never travelled alone but once, and then her travelling bag and ticket and all her money were stolen by some ''horrid native, and Jack was so cross!" She would rather wait until she could find some manly escort. It is so much pleasanter to have a man to look after you and your luggage, and she even shrinks from the care of her own purse. The simulated simpleton is not so simple as she seems, and she has one great advantage over her sisters-a considerable knowledge, innate or ac- quired, of the weakness of man. Not for her the toll and trouble of daily life,
