effort to purify the morals and poll.
Tics of that city, sailed for home

by either tations or farewell
dinners. In a vainglorious mood he
announcs that affairs at home com
pei him to return sooner than he had
expected, and that with Gladstone's
resignation and the meeting of
parliament next week things in dear
Old London are set at skies and

aim to be on the spot. His book on
Chicago, which, it is said, will con.
tain the rames of large number of
prominent citizens who own real
estate rented fer questionable or
dlsreputable purposes, is due from
the press in about a week, but

then met with smile the smile of the

opened a lunch basket, and Just as the
man, after fumbling in his pocket,
dropped n silver dollar in the toe of
the stocking, drew outa box of candy,
which followed the dollar.
But the gifts did not stop, for the
spirit of the season was fully awalS-
ened. Small coins were passed along
from one hand to another and shaken
well down into the toe by the man next
behind. A woman with a bag of
Christmas gifts for n family of ex-
peetant small friends made a selection
from them and brought her offering.

man next behind. 'But here-thisn

He pulled out q large silk handlxer-

pinned it to the stocking.

The decisive question had been upon

chief over the wind-tossed curls.
That the child had strayed away and
was lost was as evident as that she
was pe-ishing with cold, and without
an instnnts hesitation, Mrs. Gather
wood lifted her up and hastened upon
her way.
This piercing cold which her warm
furs had before kept from her now
stung her kneenly, and her arms ached
under their unaccustomed burden; but
the words: zone of these little ones
sin My name"-''ye have done IL unto
Me-" seemed ringing in her ears, and
awakened a new warm throbbing in
her heart.
She hastily gained the town and
found her way to the nearest chemists,
where the child was soon revived.
Then. having scr a description OF her
TO the police, Mrs. Catherwood carried
the child away TO her home, where she
found her impatient suitor awaiting
her.
AT lnstV' he exclaimed. Then catch

Mrs. Catherwood's lovely eyes were

low, clear voice vibrating with emo

overspread his face.

ntil now the wIntry daylight was be-

until now the wlntry daylight was be-
ginning to grow dim.
Mrs. Catherwood shivered and
wrapped her furs more closely around
her, as she thought of the warmth and
light she had left behind her, with the
music of happy childish voices.
Mrs. Catherwood was young and
beautiful and widow. She had been
an old mans darling, and in return for
her faithful affection and compan-
ionship, he's dying husband had en-
riched her with all his wealth.
In the second year OF her widowhood
she had been persuaded TO reenter So
ciety, and now for two seasons she had
reigned n queen. She was considered
n woman to be envied, and yet to-
day the hollowness of her life had
come home to her with overwhelming
force, and she felt herself more DESC
late than even those little waits whose
happiness In their Christmas festival
she had just been witnessing.
There was great void in her life,
and she felt the need of some enno-
bling purpose, aud of strong sus-
tanning arm TO lead her on to better
things than the frivolities which
seemed to hem her in on every side.
II anyone had been at hand TO tell
her that her life was not at all friv-
olous, as her numerous charities c,uld
testify. her perfect lips would have
curled In scorn and she would have
made the honest answer: my chari-
ties are fashionable fads; perhaps they
may be the means of helping others,
but they do not help me-"
Mrs. Catherwood had left the high
road now for the quiet footpath across
the level stretch of open meadow
which lay between the orphanage and
the town. Ii was n favorite walk of
hers, beautiful In spring or early au-
tumn, and n place where her heart
seemed 10 throb in unison with ma
ture; but II was cold and dreary
enough to-day The western sky
CLEANED coldly upon her, and the
shadows had already begun 20 gather
over the town. The biting wind came
sweeping across the meadow in vio-
lent gusts, and now and again she was
obliged to stop and wait until its mo-
mentary fury had been spent.
But in spite OF the cold and the
dreariness, Mrs Catherwood seemed
In no hurry 10 reach her home. In
truth there was question upon her
mind which she must decide clearly
for herself before she could give her
answer 10 another, and for that rea-
son she had chosen to take this soli-
tary walk.
In all probability that "other" was
even now awaiting her In her own
drawing room with all lovers inn
patience.
