c,sil Briarley. He was about TO walk
past them when Sybil said:
"oh, Cecil. here YOU are You're just
in time"
Densham yielded her up with his Gus
tornary smile, and Cecil whispered:
Il was not going to claim you for this
dance; / thought you would prefer to
sit il out With him"
WITH him? Why?"
Tel believe he has question lie
wants to ask you.'
Il don't think he has" said Sybil,
quietly.
They were about to join the dancers
when il was announced that the mystic
midnight moment had almost arrived.
and uIose who cared TO do so were 10 go
to the open windows and on the door
steps and the balconies, to listen and
wait for The solemn peal that was TO
mark the annual recommencement.
Briarley got wrap to throw over mis-
cousins shoulders. and then they v mt
TO the further corner of the long ball
cony.
1t was clear. frosty night, and the
stars and the moon were shining with
brightness that. reflected in the boar
frost on the grass and trees, illumi-
mated the dark hour with a soft. poetic
light. Cecil stood silently by SYPHILIS
side for some seconds. and then he wills
pered:
And is the beautiful night making
you thoughtful. too"
NO said Sybil, with her face turned
little from him. NO, / was thinking
of Tantalus'
"Ah, poor Tantalus!" sighed Cecil. Il
hope you pity him."
Il don't think I do" responded his
cousin, softly, feeling glad that the
shadows hid her blushing cheek. Per
haps his prize was not so far out of
reach as he lima gined."
Cecil may not have been rich in this
worlds goods, but he was not poor in
imagination.
"Sybil, didn't Densham ask you any
thing?' he whispered.
Yes, Cecil. and-and-I performed a
| modern miracle"
My darling." and then there was ST.
lence.
"Sybil, you know / am rot ricl man.
and l am not a lord"
And you are not horribly coneeited
and selfish, either, dear"
He did not remove his arm, and sud
den hush OF expectancy quieted the
chattering party. Nothing was heard
for moment, and then from a dozen
changing clocks all around them boom ID
forth the solemn chime that announced
the birth of the New Year.
One, two, three-ten. IL, 10.

A HARMLESS EARTHQUAKE
How the Recently Arrived Schmidt
Family Ushered in the
New Year.

In the ST. Nicholas, Helen A. Haw ey
tells the story of harmless, unneces-
sary earthquake. 1t was five minutes
to II on the last night of the old year
One would suppose that at five minutes
to IL every small boy and every small
girl would be in bed and, what is more.
asleep hours ago. Here were Mr..
Schmidt and Mrs. Schmidt, who were
grown up. so that was we'll enough;
but here were nine little Schmidts. and
they were all wide awake at this late
hour. Peter Schmidt and Hans Schmidt
were twins. There was Greta Schmidt
there was Louise Schmidt-but dear
me. 1t is too much to give ali then.
names. Two pairs of twins make four
and hve who weren't twins-four and
five make nine little Schmidts. And
Papa and Mamma Schmidt, and there
were IL in the family. Why were they
all up and dressed at so late an. hour?
10 explain, they were just from Ger
many-not that very day, but only a
few weeks from the "Faderland:" and
now they lived in tenement house il,
great city. 1t was not one of the very.
very poor tenements, but fairly com.
Portable. They had not learned new
ways yet, but did everything as they
had done in the home land.
1t was funny TO see them at five min.
utes to j. on the last night of the OLD
year. Papa Schmidt and Mamma
Schmidt and all the little Schmidts
stood each one on a chair, each one
bent over ready TO spring, but with
chin raised, and every eye on the clock.
1t seemed as if that minute hand never
would get over the last five minutes.
When the clock struck II, they iumped
TO the floor all together, as hard as
ever they could, and shouted: "Gluck-
liches Neu Jahr." as loud as ever they
could. They called it dumping into
the New Year" 1t was what they used
to do in Germany. Now, Papa Schmidt
and Mamma Schmidt were really heavy.
and the little Schmidts were bv no
means thin. The tenement house.
though comfortable, was by no means
new, and when they all came down hard
it made things shake.

and so he quickly led up to the business
he had come to negotiate.
1T is rather serious to be standing
on the edge of new year, don't YOU
think so, Miss Castlemaine? 1t makes
one think"
"Really?" said Sybil, arching her
pretty eyebrows.
Yes; one looks at the past and then
! at the future. YOU know. Now, take me,
for example" he went on, plunging into
his carefully prepared and already re-
hearsed speech. With money and
good connections one can get on very
well in life; but that isn't all, upon my
word il isn't, Miss Castlemaine. No
doubt many fellows would envy what
I've got-but. after all, it is very little.
There is something more that is want
ed, and surely TO supply that want
would be the fittest way of starting a
new year. Dear Miss Castlemaine. I
want 10 be better man in the future
than in the past, and you, only you, can
help me. What is needed to make nv
happiness complete, to crown all my
woman's love. Sybil-let me call you
Sybil, my love-will you be the woman :?
VIII you marry me?"
In the seclusion of the conservatory
he opened his arms little, as though
he expected her to creep in. and he ex-
banded his chest to receive the burden
OF the dainty little head that was to
nestle gently on it. But it was night
Of surprises.
Il am very sorry you should have
asked me this, Lord Densham," said Sy-
bill. gravely. Il am conscious of the
vastness of the compliment. and / am
not blind TO the advantages and attrac-
lions of your offer, but l do not love
YOU"
You don't love me?" repeated his
lordship, in a tone of disappointment
that had a suspicion of incredulity in
il. You don't love me? But surely
that is only a matter of time: when you
have seen more of me, when you know
me better, Sybil-"
My decision would not alter, Lord
Densham."
But you are quite sure"
Il quite realize what / am losing"
said Sybil, calmly, land although /

II, don't really think that could make
you any better or anything but what
you are, either in the new year, or at
any other time"
But you could, Miss Castlemaiue;

Would You please take me back?

With wonderful smile on his lips. In
which modification, pity and surprise
were blended, he politely Off. ed her his
arm and led her back TO the ballroom.

displaced the appearance of indiffer-
ence and listlessness which usually
make the hereditary legislator look linn
and flabby. lie speedily discovered that
both Daisy Molyneux and Sybil Castle
maine had come, and with a sigh of re
lief to think that his decision was al
last made. he proceeded TO seek out
Miss Molyneux that he might acquaint
her with the honor he proposed to dc
her.
Ii was considerably later when Ceci
Briarley arrived. He was not in the

asked her cousin, as he led her to a Sc.
cluded corner.
"Whowas he? An ancient god. wasn't

he relative of Bacchus. The spirit de-
canters are named after him."
No" said Cecil, very seriously. HE
was a young man who longed for a GER
tain prize, and it was just out of his
reach"
And this is apropos of what?" in
quired Sybil
"Tanialus would have been happier II

call him shy or modest, would one?"
Her merry brown eyes looked up into
his, but they didn't find any responsive
twinkle.
He has no need for modesty; he
knows his worth"
Every bit of IT." said Sybil.
"Yes; but when fellow like that can
choose any girl he likes-when he
knows they are all ike pretty apples

make him conceited."
"And other fellows jealouse" added
Sybil, mischievcusly.

As Cecil Briarley watched the re-

know which of the two mai6ens he
really loved. he summed up the situa.
ton in one word. which he muttered
very kJw. and with heartfelt sincerity
No one heard il, but it is safe to con-
lecture that il was a syllable of most
emphatic disapproval.
Lady Nivyan's rooms presented gay
and brilliant scene that evening. TIC

Then, perhaps. the age of miracles

gayly TO him, as Lady yivyan came up
and introduced a new partner to her.

the smoking-room when Lord Densham
came up TO him.

easier"
As he walked off Cecil Briarley
watched him, and although he was not
man given to the use of bad language
it is lamentable fact that little word
before referred to slipped with terrible
earnestness from his lips.
When Lord Densham suggested to
Sybil Castlemaine that they should sit
the dance out in the conservatory, she
saw that he meant to propose to her,
and his lordship perceived that, under
the circumstances, there was nothing
to be gained by beating about the bush.
