as you did, and the ones who beat me
out of a present ! just had very little
more to do with. OF course 1t is not the

ger the presents used to count too
"And so that was what was at the
bottom of all the endings of friendships
that have happened with you every
Christmas"
"Yes."
"And was it because Tom Harland did
not think to give you Christmas pres
ent and birthday gift that you broke off
the engagement with himy
"Don't let us speak about that crca
ture."
"But want to speak about him. You
have never explained why you broke of
the engagement with him. surely, II
you loved him, you didn't break off just

"But you were engaged to him."
"Yes, but | didn't know then what love
means. Even II he had passed my fool
ish test would still have parted from
him, for | did not know my own mind
when consented to be engaged to him."
"But II was at Christmas you broke of
with him. Wasn't that because of the
test?"
"Well, yes It was, but he failed in his
requirements in n way that | had not
previously dreamed possible. Why, that
man actually brought me an engagement
ring for Christmas, aud il was TO serve
as an engagement ring, Christmas pres
ent and birthday gift all in one. That
was beyond anything in the way Of true
economy that i had ever heard of, and It
opened my eyes to the kind Of man he
was. But you must always remember,
dear, that it is not the presents | value,
but the thoughtfulness that prompts
them"
As Harry recalled his quarrel with the
jeweer and his regret that he had not
spent $50 more and got an engagement
ring, instead Of the two presents, he
didn't feel quite so proud Of himself as
he did at first, but he wisely concluded
to accept the good that the gods had
sent to him, and he let Jean praise him
to her hearts content.

On Christmas day all business was
suspended in Manila, and all observed

ted that hS most
striking peculiarities were due to This &C.
cident Of birth. OF course it had nothing
to do with her unlikeness to other girls in
being more beautiful than any of them,
but 1t certainly was the cause of a strange
moroseness that seemed to overwhelm
her every year when her birthday came
around. II was first noticed when she
was a child, and wise people said she
would outgrow 1t, but they were mis-
taken. Every year her birthday brought
period OF discomfort, and because Of a
strain Of Scotch reticence in her nature
she would not explain what was weigh
ing on her mind. II Is true that as she
grew older she changed somewhat, but It
was in way that made this popularity
more marked. When she was old enough
to have admirers, It was noticed that she
almost invariably broke off with them at
Christmas, and when asked to explain
her conduct she quoted from an ancient
ballad she had read at the seminary:
Who on Christ his day is borne
Shall re'le Alright both love and scorne.
Because l was born on Christmas"
she used to say, II have a power to
know which Of my friends are true and
which are false, but IL explain this
power to any one shall lose it."
OF course this sounded very absurd
In the last years of the nineteenth CEN
tury, but 1t was finally demonstrated
that her power had thoroughly rea"
sonable foundation. But 1t compelled
her to weed down her friends and ad-
mirers to a pitifully small group and
might have destroyed her lifes happi-
ness when the real Prince Charming
came to WOO but for the fact that
Cupid always looks after his own.

thought the spell was broken, but she
dismissed him so contumeliously at
Christmas and with such outspoken
