we never had a merrier Christmas

dainty case, in the very drawer to
which she had sent Helen, was the
lovely gold watch which was design
ed as a Christmas gift to Helen from
her father and mother. AS Helen
opened the drawer, the very first ar
ticle she saw was the morocco case.
"Oh, ohp she calculated, under
her breath, II wish / hadn't seen it,
l think know what's in it, but III
look just to be sure"
Without stopping to consider the
right or the wrong of her action, the
case was opened in trice, and there
lay the loveliest watch, beautiful as a
dream, Helen thought.
"Oh, OIL" she exclaimed, quivering
with excitement, ''isnt it perfect
love! It's for me, of course. I've
wanted one SO long!"
"Thank you, dear. You were rath-
er long finding the foss," said Mrs.
Holbrook, taking the small paper
parcel without noticing her daught-
er's flushed cheeks.
81 didn't see it at first," said Helen;
but she did not state that she had
been overpowered by the superior at
fractions of certain morocco case.

Christmas present" said Edith Hol-
brook, as the family were gathered
about the sitting-room table in the
evening. 81 know the far height of
her ambition"
II think we have all been told often
enough to know" said her brother
Burton, laughingly; "but as father
isn't bloated bondholder, it's Just
preposterous in Helen to even dream
of getting gold watch"
Occasionally people have to take
things out in Dreams" said Edith;
81 never expect to have gold watch
until / earn the money. The very
first filthy lucre' / earn teaching, |
shall use for that purposes" and
Edith began to industriously examine
the historical chart stretched out be,
fore her, wondering the while why
Helen remained silent and looked so
embarrassed.
81 know / don't deserve anything
so nice as a gold watch" said Helen
at last.
Nonsense, Miss Humility" said
Burton, "you deserve the best in the
land. But father isn't very we'll off,
and gold watches and such arerather
out of his line. Then that little
nickel-plated affair of yours keeps
good time, doesn't it," and Burton
nudged Edith under the table as a
token that he thought he had man
aged the case with consummate skill.

1t was late in the season, and the sum
mer gayety was over; the evenings were
too cool for piazza parties, and the least
suspicion of ennui had crept into the
cottage party as it's members tried to
pass the evenings with magazines and
books.
There was to be little gathering on
Saturday night, as usual. would mu-
sic and cards be enough?" the hostess
asked. There was fertile mind at the
lunch table that pondered the question,
and begged leave to contribute few
moments entertainment. 1t was noticed
that the mind was unusually absent that
afternoon, and that its owner betook
himself privately to the stationer who
supplied the villagers with their polite
note paper, their toys and their confec-
tions; also that the hour before dinner
was spent in sharpening pencils and
scribbling
The outcome of the abstraction ap-
peared later in the evening. when sheet
of paper was given to each guest bearing
a list OF words half English, half Fiji, as
follows:
Peesh Torte Parti
Duggop Rugaja Kacopec
Roas t slab Aimcosh Somsoup
Leap then GRABBED Unnepig
Firfage Retirer Ricecoldo
This list, 80 the explanation ran, was
a collection of animals as varied as those
let down in the sheet in the vision
-four footed beasts of the earth, wild
beasts, creeping things, and fowls of the
air." and the penetrating mind could
see that the letters of each word, if
transposed, would spell correctly the
name of some one of the progeny of Eden,
either clean or unclean.
Moreover, it was announced that just
fifteen minutes would be allowed to cor
rectly designate each Of the fifteen ami
mails by the common or garden name"
that Adam gave it, and that beautiful
prize would fall to the lot Of the person
who showed the most comprehensive
knowledge of his Animated Nature by
writing the perverted names of these an
imals correctly.
There was silent survey of the task,
then frantic marginal scribbling, inter-
rupted by occasional triumphant writing
of some word, and terminated by cho-
rus of protestations when ''time" was
called. No one had transposed more
than thirteen, for the crocodile and the
channels had proved too much for the
combined brains of the company. Few,
in fact. had managed more than half a
dozen. The prize was a small Noah's
ark, complete even to the spotted giraffe,
and Mre. Shem, Ham and Japeth in
clear red and yellow and blue paint; and
the BOBBY prize. which fell to the lot of
a benevolent old lady who had success

Waterville, Nov. 27.-(SpeciaD The
long distance crosse country run of the
Colby Athletic Association, which has
been several times postponed, occurred
this afternoon.
The run was for the prize silver cup re-
Gently offered by the faculty of the college
to be known as the faculty cup 1t is
to be contested for each year and is to be
held by the winner, who by winning
secures the honor of having his name en-
graved thereon. If however, the cup is
ever won for three successive years by the
same person, then it becomes his own
property and the faculty are to provide
another for future use.
The first run for the cup today, was a
most interesting event. There were five
contestants: +. +. Hall, 9S w. L. Hub
bard, SO; Fl. H. Pratt, 90; c. f. Gurrey,
'9S; and c. l.. Clemment, 81. These
gentlemen were taken in u blackboard to
Clinton were the start was made.
Prof jackson and +. W. Paddelford,
96, went in a single team to follow the
runners adjudge the race and take the
time. The route taken was down the
river road to Benton Fall, across to Ben
ton Station. to Fairfield and from there
following the electric car track to the col
lege, the whole distance being slightly
over 10A miles.
The runners were all punched from the
start all the way, till about mile this
side Of Fairfield. Then Hall began to
pull slowly ahead of his companions.
closely followed by Hubbard. Near the
bridge over Holland brook, Pratt was
taken with pain in his side and drop
ping out, rode in on the blackboard. Hall
and Hubbard kept increasing their lead
till at the top of the hill, in sight of the
cottage, Hubbard began to fall back. and
beford he finished was passed by both
Clement and Gerrey.
The judges followed the leader closely
and when the college was reached, snapped
the watch, and found that Mr.. Hall had
covered the distance in one hour and ten
minutes, flat Clement and Gerry were
about two minutes behind, and Hubbard
u little more.
The roads for quite a part OF the dis
tance were very heavy and hard to run on,
but even under these conditions the time
made was considered remarkably good
Prof Jackson said, after the race, that he
was highly pleased at the result, and was
of the opinion that had the roads been in
good condition the run would have been
made at least 10 minutes quicker
