deserted lips and cheeks until they

deserted lips and cheeks until they
were as white as the kittens she ca
ressed. For Felicia was afraid of the
professor; afraid of his voice, wheth-
er harsh or tender, afraid ofthe dark
gray eyes that could be both cold and
commanding. When she finally had
to leave the kittens she slowed them
away in the depths of her laundry
basket, locked her door, and went away
feeling as if she had left behind her
some dark and terrible secret
Christmas eve in a newspaper office
is like any other evening in the year,
except that there is, twice as much
work on hand. 1t was past midnight
when Felicia went up the steps of her
clearinghouse. A mixture of rain
and snow was falling, and the wind
was sweeping around corners with a
velocity that wrapped Felicia's skirts
about her ankles Like mummy-cloth,
and threatened to carry off her UNI
brella. While she was struggling on
the doorstep firm hand grasped the
refractory umbrella and deep mas
culine voice at her elbow said:
Permit me, Mees Fay" Once in
awhile the Professors accept was de-
cided.
THANK you. Isn't this weather
beastly?"
''It is very bad weat Their"
Felicia always felt rebuked for her
slang by his measured words.
"Why. you look like Santa Claus!"
she exclaimed, when they got in the
hall where it was light. Prof. Eyer
threw back his head and laughed. Fe-
licia had never noted before what
boyish ring his laugh had.
81 do feellike old Kris Kringle to-
night" he said, laying down the bum
dies that had suggested the likeness
and approaching the open fireplace,
where Felicia stood warming her numb
fingers. "All I need are the sleigh,
reindeer and the ability to get down
chimneys neatly to make me start out
on my rounds"
Felicia was amazed. Was this jolly,
animated boy really the petrified Pro-
fessor? Here was a man who consid-
cred Christ myth, and who conse-
quently could not logically believe in
celebrating Christmas, now loaded
down with packages that bore an un-
mistakable holiday air, and seemingly
entering into the spirit of Christmas
with the enthusiasm of a boy. More
over, he had steadily. avoided her for
the past two months-ever since-since
that highland here he was chatting

action seemed utterly inexcusable

action seemed utterly inexcusable
now. He would be angry with her
for supposing him capable of such
heinous crime, and now; that he had
begun to treat her as she longed to
have him she could not endure the
idea of GOODNESS from him. Now he
was gathering up his bundles and pre-.
pairing to go up the stairs, and she
leaned her head on her hand and did
not say a word. She nodded good
night to him, and then looked down
into the fire. She knew he would
come down again. And he did, anx-
iously and hurriedly, peering into the
dark corners of the landing.
She watched him, nervously until
she caught his eye.
'You are looking for your kittens?"
she asked.
''Yes; why"
"You'u not find them here"
He questioned her with a surprised
glance.
81 took tAem," she answered.
'Away"
''Not very far; into my room"
''But I do not understand" Prof.
Eyer moved nearer to her.
Neither do 1 now. [ thought you
wanted them for specimens. 'Scien-
tific Sacrifices you know. And they
| looked so helpless, and-I love kit
tens"
She felt like a naughty girl con-
Tossing some mischief. She saw his
eyes darken.
ooh, know it was wrong of me to
Jump at such hasty conclusion, but
some one told me how you once APP
piled electricity to dog and made it
suffer horribly, and l was afraid 1
couldn't bear"
She stopped. His mouth was closed
in the straight line she dreaded.
81 will get them," She said, and
started impetuously up the stairs.
But she was very tired, and coming
from the cold outside to. the warm
, room had made her dizzy. She caught
at the bannister for assistance. Prof.
Eyer put his hand very gently under
her elbow, and in silence they walked
to her room.
"Will you get the basket?' she
suggested.
He brought it to her in her sitting
room and waited while she put the
kittens into it, Felicia felt very small
and mean. She almost wished that
she were blind like the kittens, that
she might not see how dark and
angry his eyes had grown.

Hindrance to Success.

Many man with great brain power
and fine physique who started in life
with good prospects has failed to at
tain great success because of little
idiosyncracies, peculiarities of speech
or manner; things not in themselves
vicious or wrong, but which render him
'disagreeable or unacceptable to those
who have dealings with him.-Success.

And the frosty Christmas holly shines
and sparkles on the hill,
And the Christmas sleigh bells jingle,
and the Christmas laughter rings,
AS the last stray shoppers hurry, takin'
home the Christmas things;
And up yonder in the attic there's little
trundIe bed
Where there's Christmas dreams adam
Gin through a sleepy, curly head,
And it's Merry Christmas Mary, once
ag'in fer me and you,
With the little feller's stockin hangin'
up beside the flue.
:. 'Tisnt silk, that little stockin', and it
isn't much fer show,
And the darns are pretty plenty round
about the heel and toe,
And its color's kinder faded, and it's
sorter worn and old,
But it REILLY is surprisin' what lot of
love twill hold;
And the little hand that hung it by the
chimbly there along
Has grip upon GU, heartstringS that is
mighty firm and strong;
So, old Sanity, don't forgit it, though it
isn't fine and aew,
That plain little worsted stockin' hangin
up beside the nue.
And the crops may fail, and leave us
with our plans all gone ter smash
And the mortgage may hang heavy, and
the bills use up the cash,
But whenever comes the season, jest so
longs we've got dime,
Therell be somethin' in that stockin'-
won't there, Mary?-every time.
And if, In amongst our sunshine, there's
a shower er two of rain,
Why, we'll face it, bravely smilin', and
We'll try not ter complain
Long as Christmas comes and finds us
here together, me and you,
With the little feller's stockin' hangin' up
beside the fiue.

Providence. R. l., November 12,-A let ter 200 years old, from Captain Kidd, the notorious pirate chief, to John Bailey Esq, of New York, which from evidence contained in 1t is believed to be genuine by those to whom 1t has become an heir loom. has been deposited for safe keeping with other papers in the office of the record commissioners in this city. The letter is the property of Edward Field of Providence. It was found among family papers.
 Apparently the communication was written after the capture of Captain Kidd. It Is dated in Boston, 17O0-o1, and 1t says in part:
 T fear we are in a bad situation. We are taken for pirates and you must come to Boston as soon as you get this; there Is no one can depend upon. If do not see you will tell you where my money is. IL is buried on island in Boston harbor on the <. island in two chests containing from R15.0OO ster- ling to e20,0OO sterling in money jewels and diamonds. Secure the money and diamonds before you come as money will do great deal for us"

TUSCALOOSA,

Tuscaloosa, November 12.-(Special.)- Returns from the twenty-eight beats In this county are somewhat slow coming in, but this Is in a measure due to the fact that Tuscaloosa County is one of the largest in the state and some of the polling places are not easy of access Seventeen beats out of the twenty-eight show a majority of 3SS for the new con stitution. The other thirteen beats will reduce this to 150 or 200 majority for the new constitution. Tuscaloosa, as stated in a dispatch to the Age Herald last night, was practically solid for the new instrument while Northport, just across the river, was 105 for and 1O6 against Brookwood, where a large number of miners are located. and Taylorville, where a number of negroes vote, cast heavy majoritles against the new or ganic law. It seems certain that the new constitution will have at least 150 to 200 majority in Tuscaloosa County. Col w. w. Brandon sent the following tele- gram to Hon. Jesse Stallings this morn ing: Compliments of the season. Box at which you spoke gives 800 for, GO against. Come to see me when am at home. W. W. Brandon"

"other PeopIe,s Money.U

There Is always bushels of fun in handling other peoples money, and there Is just as much fun in seeing the comedy by the name of. "Other Peoples Money" which opened at the Jefferson last night. The play Is by Hennessey Leroyle, and although not scholarly, it Is humorous md more-it carries a clean brand of humor. The trouble all revolves around the family of Hutchinson Hopper of the Chicago Board of Trade. MT. Hopper has a daughter and incidentally 1t may be mentioned that he has a clerk who falls In love with the daughter. The clerk tells his employer his troubles without, of course, mentioning names. He gets lot of advice which later on rebounds on the giver and iesults in an exceedingly clever scene in the last act. MT. Le- loyie capably handles the part of Hutch inson Hopper.
