And told them at once. But she told me
something else-tnat the girl had slipped
out as the last man came in, had mounted
the chestnut, and would wait for me by
the spring, quarter of q mile away
There was the danger that some one of
the men knew the finger language, so she
told me this thing in signs mixed up with
other sentences.

The Fireplace in Summer.

The ever-recurring question of conceal
ing, decorating or in some other way
identifying the open CRATE or fireplace
through the summer months, says the
New York Recorder, is beginning TO force
itself on the housewif mind.
II you have really pretty fireplace,
capaciOus and backed with real brick, or
even with pressed iron and wrought iron
fredogs aud fender, you can perhaps
scarcely do better than TO remove the
fender and fill in the fireplace with weekly
renewed bouquets of daisies. golden rod or
ferns. The gray and blue stoueware
pitchers and jugs make admirable recepta-
Giles for these. But then perhaps YOU live
in the city. and weekly trips to the woods

kissed the poor beasts neck, but spoke
nothing. AS | helped her on nv Tophet I
put my lips TO the sleeve of her dress.
Mother of Godi What could a man do,
she was so noble?
Dawn was just breaking oozy and gray
at the swell of the prairie, over the jump
ing Sandhills. They lay quiet and shining
in The green-brown plain. but l knew that
beneath there was a churn which could
set those swells of sand in motion and
make deadly sport of an army. Who can
tell what it is: A flood under the surface.

But they are sea monsters on the land.
Every morning at sunrise they begin to
eddy and roll, and no man ever saw
stranger sight. Ben. l looked back
about three miles away. What was there
to do? The girl and myself on the tired
horse were too much. They saw also and
hurried on. There came TO me a great
idea. l must reach ano cross the Jumping
Sandhills before sunrise. 1t was all a
deadly chance.
when we got to the edge of the sand
they were almost mile behind. l was all

her she must push on alone to the fort; that

l struck Tophet, and she was gone to her
happiness, for she reached the fort and
her lovers arms.
"But | stood looking back upon the
Jumping SaDdhills. So, was there ever
sight like that?-those hills gone like
smelling floor. the sunrise spotting it with
rose and yellow and the three horses and
their riders fighting what cannot be
fought. What could l do? They would
have got the girl if | had not led them
across, and they would have killed me if
they could. Only one cried out, and then
but once, in long shrek. But. after all
three were quiet as they fought, until they
were gone where no man could see, where
none cries out so we can hear"
There was long pause, painful to bear.

dogs on Pierre. At last Macayoy said:

COULDOCK ON CHRISTMAS.
The Veteran Actor Reviews the Days
of Long Ago.


of Long Ago.
In a Christmas symposium of the Bos-
ton Post, the following appears. 1t
will prove of a special interest to many
Salt Lakers, who look upon the veteran
Couldock as being zone Of them
1 never wrote anything for publica
ton, and cannot tell anything ABOUT
the Christmas days I've seen that would
be at all interesting.
It's cheerful season, and L always
feel a. pleasure in it, but my really
merry Christmas times have only
amounted to about six or seven-from
my fifth year to my twelfth.
My father died when / was years of
age, and 1 was taken by my. mother
(ny dear grandmother) and brought UP.
She always had as many relatives as she
could get to dine with her on Christmas
Day, and I, the orphan boy of poor
Tom Couldock, was petted and made
much of.
In the evening there was the annual
round game of Speculation"
was the game. 1 was allowed to be
one of the players, and always came
out a winner.
My great aunt would always insist
on sitting next to me, and I suspect
she used to steal a peep at her cards.
| for whenever she insisted on my buying
them of her for penny, I invariably
found that the ace of trumps was one of
them, with which I. Of course, won
what was in the pool.
Then my grandfather had a party on
Twelfth night, and about dozen, not
exclusively relatives, would be invited.
After tea the Twelfth cake was
brought in, and the comic characters
tne male characters in one basket the
female characters in another They
drew one, and was known for the night
by the name of the character drawn,
and anyone forgetting this was forfeit
ed. Then there was a snap-dragon,
and we had rare fun. But the dear
relatives and friends dropped off year
by year, and Christmas parties became
thing of the past; all, all were gone
the old familiar facesl
Soon after leaving my grandmother's
roof l went to a commercial house.
where Christmas day was not kept-it
was simply holiday, a cessation from
work-and since I've been on the stage
I've, generally had more work on that
day than most others, and haven't
been twice at home on that day in 40
years.
Still I'm tolerably happy at this sea-
son. L think of the dear ones of the
long ago. l have a dear little grand
daughter at home, and many children
friends who love me, and a few dear
old friends who do the same, and L feel
happy in the knowledge that I'm loved
by them all, and that they will en-
deavor that L shall have a happy
Christmas. Yours truly.
