There stood shy little girl, ,and--Mrs.
Mott cried aloud-Jason, alive and in
the fur, was rubbing against her legs
and purring.
He didn't kill him after ALL" she
cried; then, seeing the child's amazed
look. she said: where on earth did
you find him, my dear? Was-was he

to carry him part way"
AS the child was going away with
the dollar Mrs. Mott had thrust upon
her. that lady stood on the doorstep
with the door closed to prevent Jason
from following his new friend. She
saw Ezra approaching across the street
and said, bitterly: ITO think quar-

beast that forgot me in five days! Nan

~Exra Mason kusws what has. BE-

teara "And to think I had meant 70
marry him. in gray satin. on New years
day!" 81
Late that afternoon Melinda Thomp-
son hustled in. her bonnet gracefully
encircling one ear.
well. Lorilla Mott. have you heard?"
Heard whst?" said Ars. Mott.
THAT Ezra Mason feeds that dog Of
his out Of the silver sugar basin he
had bought for your wedding present.
and let's him sleep In the silk quilt you
made him for Christmasl What do
you think Of that?'
"Think?" said Mrs. Mott. sIowly and
deliberately. why. l think that .
man who will commit murder will do
anything"
"Murder?" gasped Melinda.
"Yes. murder! For II Ezra mason
didn't kill my cat, why doesn't he come
back?"
The strange family with the invalid
boy had received her advances coldly
and Miss Melinda's time and tongue
were entirely at Mrs. Motifs disposal.
By nightfall everybody knew that she
had accused Ezra Mason Of killing her
cat. Later that evening. they also
knew that Ezra had said he would
never speak to woman or q cat again.
And this was the goth Of December, and
the gray satin gown in which Mrs. Mott
was to have been metamorphosed into
Mrs. Mason hung ready in her ward
robe. while the ring. once more ex-
changed for larger one. lay forgotten
in Ezra's pocket.
1t was New Years morning and Mrs.
Mott felt forlorn and miserable seated
before her untasted breakfast. For the
first time. she regretted her quarrel
with Ezra.
"If l hadn't quarreled with him he'd
never have killed JASON" she sighed,
"and I'd never have known he'd COM
init murder. Now-come inl" she
hastened to open the door.

and he wanted-l forget what he did
want-and neither Of you would give
in. Why didn't you have wedding
without singing?"
"Never thought Of that. The choir
took 1t real hard, too. after practicing
for four weeks twice week to be ready.
They wanted to please US both and
practiced tho piece wanted on Tues
day evening after the regular choir
meeting and the one Ezra wanted on
Friday. They did offer to sing 'em
both. but we couldn't agree which was
to come first, 80 that did no good"
"And the next time you quarreled
over the way you meant to celebrate
your golden wedding. didn't you? And
now it's about q cati" Rh.
Melinda Thompson. II is not It's
about q dog. that's what! Ezra Mason
has gone and bought dog-a hunting
dog-at his'time Of life! He.wanted to
bring It here, too. knowing how afraid
Jason Is Of dogs. I told him fat, I
wouldn't have Jason's life made bur-
den to please anybody. Then he said
he'd never speak to me again, and
said guessed could talk 70 myself, II
got lonesome and wanted to hear the
sound of . human voice!"i 8&fte.&
There goes Ezra now, with the dog
at his heels" remarked the visitor.
Hes on the other side Of the street.
That's how I came TO know - saS yoa
had quarreled. He only does that when
he's mad with you." , si-I.r.
Mrs. Mott tossed her head defiantly.
THE pavement's free" she said. Must
you be going?" as Miss Melinda rose.
Yes. I'm going to run in and see
that strange family that's just moved
here. The little boys On invalid and
they don't know soul here vet, 90
thought maybe they'd like to hear
the news"
well, you're the one that can tell II
to them." said Mrs. Mott, under her
breath. as her friend walked away.
Jason; here, sir, como back!" For
the cat had slipped past her and out
into the street. pretending not to hear
her calls.
Contrary as man." she remarked,
closing the door. That's just the way
MIR. Mott used to go out after supper"
The big chair looked very lonesome
without Ezra's portly presence In it.
and, stopping to beat up the cushion
as she passed, she remarked: I'm sor-
ry now told Melinda Thompson I'd give
1t to the cat, but it's too late now
he knows 1t Already. Anyhow. he
needn't have said he wished the Lord,
or whoever looks after Gets, would
take Jason!"
Late that evening passers-by heard
Mrs. Mott calling Jason to come in.
What n fuss she does make over that
cat" they said. Wakeful neighbors
also noticed light burning in her

Hail the year 1898! Yet many will
It cast down and many raise up; many
destroy and many make alive. Hope
will it fulfill in some and send utter
despair to others. AS in the years that
have passed, so in 1898 will there be
simoons. tornadoes, zephyrs and calms;
hail, rain, snow and diffusive. heart
warming sunshine. There shall be
wars, SORROWS, pains, joys, gladnesses,
droughts, floods, plenty and famine.
War shall rage here and there, while
peace will be serene in most places.
Birds shall sing sweetest songs at
matin and eventide, while beasts shall
utter their terrifying cries.
What will the year bring to you, and
you. and you? In the midst of such un-
certainties, who so wise as to be able to
declare his own fate or that OF another?
One having good memory may dilate
OF 1897; but no man can predicate of
1905! But he may wish himself well,
and in the same breath he should wish
