The sudden happiness which filled
her heart, driving out the pride and
jealousy and bitterness of three long
months. gave her a sweet sense of com.
partnership and comfort; sha went to
sleep like a child who has just found
its mother.
The morning sun was shining, her
uncle and aunt had returned, and
breakfast was nearly ready, when she
dressed and ran downstairs.
IBID they speak? Is she alive? were
her first questions.
Her uncle knew why such interest
was felt in strangers, and fastened to

she'd recover, but we did the best we
could, and by m by the doctor got

chirped Aunt Agatha, as she placed
the coffee pot on the table.
AS soon as possible after breakfast
Elizabeth sat down at her uncle's desk
in one corner of the spacious kitchen
and wrote a long letter to Alice. 1t
was such a letter as she might have
written from the planet Mars, if she
had been visiting that mysterious orb,
for she felt possessed of another
worlds spirit" 1t was a true girls
letter, full of adjectives and exclama-
ton points, but had she written it sit
ting beside the manger-cradle. it could
have breathed no less selfish affection.

she devoted herself outwardly to her
friends. Her uncle knew she had writ

the way. 'Lizbeth," said he. 81 don't

cause the forgiving time comes just be-
fore the good-resolution time. Didn't
you ever think of it? When l think of
that Baby over in Bethlehem and all
those angels singing about peace, L
wonder we don't learn the lesson faster.
Peace on earth doesn't mean just be-
twixt nation and nation, but betwiXt
families and friends first of all. We'd
ought to bring our grudges and u
enmities right to the manager and let
the Baby put His hand upon them.

see the ones that don't like you; and
then comes New Years, and there you
are, all ready to make good resolu-

But if l make them I break Them"
sighed Elizabeth.
Its likely, it's very likely; but
that's the only way to climb, sure's you
live. You can't afford to throw away
a ladder when you break a rung. Put
in another and go ahead. But here we

stroke. We may be gone all night,
but don't you be a mite afraid, for we'll
lock the door and take the key"
Elizabeth's first Impulse was to
spring up and follow them. but the
next was to stay in the nest, even
though the loneliness was dreadful to
contemplate. She heard the front door
close, and the light from their Ian
tern fiickered for a moment across her
window. Then an intense stiffness SET
tied over everything.
"Oh, l hope she don't die before they
speak," she whispered to herself. How

REMoRsE LEADS TO SUICIDE.


Honolulu, Dec. II, via San Francisco,
Dec. 25.-Frank p. Bennett, the well.
known American scout, committed
suicide here by shooting himself in
the head last Thursday evening. De-
cember 10. His suicide followed the
death. by poisoning, of Miss Clara
Schneider, a young woman with whom
he had much associated. Bennett was
an Indian fighter of national reputa-
ton, having been one of three sur
viyors of the famous company Of
which buffalo Bill is best known, and
having taken a prominent part in
running the Apache Geronimo to
earth.
Miss Schneider was a domestic in
the family Of Hon. Paul Neumann. A
post norton examination showed that
her death had been due to morphine
poisoning. Documents indicated that
Bennett had borrowed $500 from her.
On the night before Miss S~chneider's
death she left her home. it is said. for
the purpose of meeting Bennett. She
did not return home till early the
next morning, and was not seen alive
again except for a few unconscious
moments at the last.
The post norton indicated that the
morphine had been taken with some
food. 1t is not known whether she
met Bennett that night or not, but
she said that she was going to see
him and get the money. Bennett shot
himself the day after the girls death,
but his body vas not found until three
days later, when the police were look
ing for him to ask about Miss
