The first speaker, handsome

stood at the bay window, apparently intent
on watching the large flakes that came airily
down and whitened the ground before the

A rich fire was burning at one end OF the

figure, and the clock which had licked more
than one generation Of Hudsons in and out

throughout the room.
There was strain of sadness in the man 8

She crossed the room and took a seat at

and looked abstractedly into the glowing
fire.
1t was plaintive ballad the girl played,
and it filled the old room with sadness, as it
were. She was not interrupted, but cen

when she rose, and, bidding her father good
night, walked quietly away.
