Jean, even though she might think him
eXtravagant in spending so much on them
when he was saving up for their home.
While thinking the matter over it sud
denly occurred to him that he could make
things look more reasonable if he sent the
brooch as Christmas present and the
bracelet as a birthday gift. That would
Justify them both. Replacing the jewels
III their boxes with appropriate cards, he
took them to the postoffice and mailed
them so that she would get them the
first thing in the morning.
When he went to Jeans home to have
his Christmas dinner with her, he found
her radiantly happy. The gloom that he
was told always oppressed her on Christ

she wanted to thank him again for his

There is only one way for lovers to ex.
press such thanks, and after furtive
glance toward the doors and windows il
was so expressed. After the customary
pause of happy silence Jean whispered
as she hid her face Oh his bosom:

be patient with him until he could af-
ford to get her such an engagement ring
as lie thought should be placed on her
finger she was almost moved to tears
but would not explain why. The truth
was that she reciprocated his love so
warmly that she would gladly have mar
ried him ont of hand and avoided the
Christmas test, but now he was laying
himself open to it. Indeed he was APP
preaching it with even worse prospects
than any of his predecessors Harry
suspected the cause of her uneasiness
and asked her to explain, but much as
she would have liked to warn him of
the snare into which all her previous
admirers had fallen she could not do So
for she had registered a vow to keep her
secret. She did promise, however, that
if he escaped the danger she would ex-

striking pecuiarities were due to this ac-
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 it certainly was the cause of strange
moroseness that seemed to overwhelm
her every year when her birthday came
around. 1t was first noticed when she
was child. and wise people said she
| would outgrow it, but they We're mis-
taken. Every year her birthday brought
period of discomfort, and because of
strain of Scotch reticence in her nature
she would not explain what was weigh
| ing on her mind. 1t 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 rede Alright both love and scorne.
Because ] was born on Christmas"
she used to say, 81 have a power to
know which of my friends are true and
which are false, but if | explain this
power to any one I shall lose it,
OF course this sounded very absurd
in the last years of the nineteenth cen
fury, but il was finally demonstrated
| that hec power had thoroughly rea-
sonable foundation. But it compelled
her to weed down her friends and ad-
mirers to pitifully small group and
might have destroyed her life's happi-
ness when the real Prince Charming
came to WOO but for the fact that
Cupid always looks after his own.
From the time she was Ii till she was
% Jean dismissed from one to dozen
admirers every Christmas without ex-
PLANTATION, and people were beginning
to believe that she was doomed to die
an old maid. In the November of her
twentieth year she became engaged to
an attractive young man, and some
thought the spell was broken, but she
dismissed him so contumeliously at
Christmas and with such outspoken
scorn that it became a saying among her
friends that she would never get mar
ried until a young man appeared who
could hold her fancy through the Christ
mas season. She admitted the truth Of
this statement and continued to wait
the coming of the right man.
When Harry Finlay came to the town
to act as cashier in the local bank, he
Immediately struck up warm friendship
with the beautiful but decidedly peculiar
girl. Well meaning friends warned him
of her Christmas habits, but in his
eyes the touch of mystery only added to
her charm. He paid court to her ardent
ly and with such success that toward
the end of autumn she consented to be
his wife. But when he asked that she
wait for year until he received an ex-
pected promotion to the position of man
ager she showed s. ms of uneasiness,
and when, in addition, he asked her to
