The two walked slowly across the
lawn toward the house. Charlie Kent
had been married to his young wife for
five years. She had been famous as one
of the most beautiful girls in all the
Oranges 1t was in this lovely region
that they now lived. They had youth,
wealth and everything to make life hap
Ply save one thing-no child had come
to gladden. their home. This was a
source of sorrow to the young wife-a
sorrow of which even her husband did
not know. Belle, however, suspected it.
IT had been thinking of pair Of
ponies and phaeton, said Charlie re-
fectively. (which would be the better,
do you think, those or the diamonds?"
1.-The diamonds of course. You spoke
of queen just now, Charlie. Isn't Hell
en- far more beautiful and queenly, too,
than most royal women? Oh, to think
how she will look when she sits in your
aunt's box at the opera this winter
with her tiara on her head!"
You really think she would like it.
them" said Mr. Kent, beginning to
share his sisters enthusiasm.
Like it, Charlie! I'm sure there's
nothing she longs for so much-exoept
perhaps
Except what?" asked Charlie Kent
as his sister paused.
Nothing, y said Belle, looking down
and smiling a little demurely; at
least nothing that can be bought with
money. Come, Charlie, there isn't too
much time. Let us settle now upon the
diamond tiara for Helen's Christmas
present. .
During the next month Miss Belle
Kent made several mysterious trips to
the city She claimed to be an expert in
diamonds, ana she helped her brother
in the selection Of those which were to
form his wife's tiara. She also had
much to say about their arrangement
and the simple yet elegant setting
which held them.
One week before Christmas the dia-
mond circlet in itsviolet velvet case lay
securely locked in the reoessessof Mr..
Kent's safe in the city.

drew near. She and Mrs. Kent sat in an
upper room waiting
'There is the whistler cried Belle.
IT hear the train coming through the
valley; now it is slowing up at the sta
ton. He will be here in ten minutes
now, won't he, Helen?"
Chow excited you are, Belle! Your
eyes are bright and your cheeks glow
ing. Why is it?" asked Helen wonder
ingly.
"Why, because it is Christmas eve,
and because-oh, if he would only
come! I'm afraid Til tell if he doesn't
hurry" murmured Belle to herself.
But she could not keep quiet a mo-
ment Helen" she said, "of allthe
things in the world what would you
rather have for Christmas?"
"How can tell. BELIEF" replied the
sweet faced wife.
"What is the desire of your heart
like? Is it something not very large,
but, oh, so beautiful and bright, and all
hidden in soft, rich cover-something
which would make every woman you
know just wild with envy?'
well, perhaps it is little like
that, said Helen musingly, "but with
out the envy. don't desire that. 7"
well, Helen, this lovely thing is on
the way now-it is almost here, and
now you mustn't ask me one other ques-
tion.'' added Belle, with pretty effront
cry. IF you do, I'm afraid I'll tell
what it is ListenI"
At this moment a dark figure was
creeping through the gate which opened
upon the driveway. It was not Charlie
Kent, but a young woman, whose head
and figure were wrapped in q heavy
shawl In her arms she carried bun-
die From time to time she bent over
it and murmured to it softly.

ter it is discomfort realized. There is
bitter cold, and the ocean storm brings
with it salt and frozen spray which be-
numb the most powerful. The people
are an odd mixture The first settlers
were Basque fishermen and Sailors and
/ these were. followed in the course Of
time by sturdy Scotohmen from the
highlands and French peasants from
Quebec or from the faraway fatherland.
English sailors and fishermen were add
ed from time to time, so that the people
of today are combination impossible
to match in the new world. Like all
jewellers in a cold climate, they have
become devout and conservative Once
they drank hard, but today prohibition
covers them with her white banner
Their Christmas day is more like that
of the Canadian than Of the New Eng
lander Or New Yorker. Religious serv-
ices are held, and every one turns out in
his or her BEST The clothing is not
what would be called fashionable in
American cities, but it is we'll adapted
to the cruel climate. Three or four coats
and trousers often mark the man and as
many wooden suits the woman.
In nearly every churchyard is
shrine to some saint, especially to those
connected with the weather. The favor
lite is that Of Mary of the Shows, and
another Anne, who Is said to protect
mortals from the torments of the ice.
On Christmas day there are always can
dies burning in these little shrines and
prayers said by wives and daughters
whose husbands are on the mainland or
the rocky, icebound beach, Here,
too, is kept up the lovely old practice
of the Christmas carols and "the
waits" On Christmas eve groups OF
singers go from house to house or else
hold pretty ceremonies Of song in the
village church, while on Christmas day
church and house alike echo to the IA
miliar tunes of Christmas in both Eng
land and France In the afternoon and
evening there are parties where games,
music and dancing pass the hours swift
~ away.
A touching feature of the day is the
old French custom Of remembering the
needy. This is done after the morning
service in church and consists in the
young people Of families that are pros

the homes of the poor. AS you stand ON

third will be laden down with little
pieces of raiment, caps and boots for the
children of some poor neighbor.
1t is survival of the olden times
when the lord of the manor bestowed mis-
bounty upon all of his tenants and in
its present form is as pretty a way~of
observing the day as anything which
can be found.

She stopped to listen again, for this
time she heard the sound of horses
hoofs just outside the gate. She pressed
the bundle convulsively to her breast
and with great sob laid it in front of
the door. Then she pressed the bell and
darted off into the shrubbery.
"There is the bell, Helen! He has

The door opened, but it was a full
minute later before they heard Charities

Belle bent listening ear, scarce dar-
ing to breathe, while Helen regarded
her in amazement.

"Oh, see that sweet little facet Look,

''Ah, the darlingp'
The antiphonal exclaiming of the two
young women over the child was beau
tiful as the music Of some angelic choir,
but Charlie Kent stood by looking rath-
er awkardly at the scene in which he
had no part.
II suppose Well have to keep it over

The cool, matter of fact note accorded

read aloud together:

Helen arose and went to her husband
