down IN the warm dining room 10 read
and knit and think by turns.
Polly was not lonely or afraid. The
country neighborhood was considered
quite safe. and, besides, pioneer girls are
not the kind to scream at mouse. She
remained up till IL because she did not
like to leave the warm FIRE. Then she felt
sleepy and prepared to go TO bed. The
family would not be back till 3 o'clock in
the morning The guests at the ball
danced till midnight: then they had sup
per, then n farewell cotillOn. Then for
the Valentines came the ten miles sleigh
ride.
In their home at II O'Clock Polly, the
cool headed, strong armed border girl,
went down 10 the cellar TO give the fur
mace last feeding and shake up for the
night and to see that it was not hot
enough to set the house on fire on the one
hand and that it should give ont heat
enough on the other hand TO make the
rooms warm and coy for the family
when they arrived. Then she went back
TO the dining room. To Polly, who lived
in n cabin, but who nevertheless liked
Eretty things as we'll as any one, that
room looked beautiful, with it's crimson
painted walls and the handsome silver
ware sparkling upon the sideboard. She
had heard that silverware was worth
$4OO, and she eyed it with something like
awe. What lot of money!
Admitting the silverware. Polly did not
notice how time passed till she looked up
with a start and saw il was half past IL.
She jumped to her feet. and ut that mo-
ment exactly she heard the sound of Il
sleigh and the horses hoof beats upon the
SHOW. What had happened to bring the
Valentines home three hours and a half
sooner than they expected TO come?
But, no. Listen! Where were the sleigh
bells? They did not ring. They were
muffled-the bells ON this sleigh. What
did it mean? 1t might mean harm. dan
ger, terror. If the sleigh with the muffied
bells stopped in front of the farmhouse.
1t did stop.
Poor Polly's. breath almost stopped, too,
4 moment later when she heard two men
approach the door and talk together in n
low voice. The next moment they ham
mered on the door tremendously, making
all the noise they could TO scare the girl
the more. and one of them ordered her in
laundering voice to open the door:
"Open this door, Polly Martin, We
know you are in there all alone, and
there's $500 in the house that Valentine
brought home yesterday. and we're going
to have ii.
But Polly said never n word, only sat
still. so still she might have been carved

sIAreen, mr. v aIenune-s family sent for
her to come and help them for a week.
Mr.. Valentine lived in handsome house
surrounded by vineyards and orchards of
apples, peaches, plums and pears. Near
the mansion was the shining white dairy
house, with the big power churn that
they made the Jersey bull work by walk
iEg on a treadmill, to his intense disgust,
which he showed by paving the ground
and believing, with his tail in the air. so
soon as he was released from the humili-
ating treadmill.
Farmer Valentine reared grand draft
horses large as small elephants aud shin
ing Christmas beeves every year for the
market. Two days before Christmas that
year he made his annual sale OF beeves
and got unusually good prices for them.
1t was too late to put the money he re-
ceived into the bank that day. so Mr..
Valentine brought it home with him, $500
IL gold and silver. and locked il in a bu-
reau drawer. Polly did not know it was
there.
On the evening of the 24th OF Deem
Der the farmers OF the county gave their
annual Christmas ball. 1t was Il great
event, bringing together socially friends
widely separated who did not see one an
other often during the rest OF the year.
Polly was wanted to keep the Valentine
house while the family should be away at
TIE ball. They went early, for there was
n ten mile sleigh ride between them and
the town where the ball was. The great
sleigh, with its big, handsome horses
paving the snow and shaking their mas
sive necks to make the bells jingle. was
drawn up before the carriage door of the
farmhouse. and one after another the
family took their places in it. Those fine,
Intelligent horses looked as If they en-
joyed the prospect of the sleigh ride as
much as any one.
After they had gone Polly went around
the house to see that all was in order for
the night. She peeped into the fruit
house first just to glad her eye with the
sight of the long shelves loaded with red
checked apples ard with shining green
and yellow pears wrapped in tissue paper
10 make them keep till Christmas. She
looked down into the box where lay n
few lunches of late autumn grapes, the
down still upon their fat, purple cheeks.
They pleased PoIly's artistic eye.
Next Polly fed the pigs and locked the
poultry houses. Then she went indoors.
The house was a modern built one, with
large double plate glass windows to keep
the cold out and with great furnace in
the cellar from which hot air pipes car
ried warmth into all the rooms. Many n
kings palace was less comfortable than
this house. Polly looked TO see that doors
and windows were fastened then she sat

Some Christina. ~Nevers..

Never ''mark down" a pricemark on a
Christmas present. II the mark doesn't
indicate that you are properly extrava-
CANT, rub it out or, still better, mark it
up.
Never give your dear wife a cord Of
wood or n ton of coal for Christmas Just
to show her that you have money to burn.
Never tell your little boy that there
isn't any Santa Claus. The older boys
will do il for you all too soon.
Never buy more Christmas presents
than you can afford. This is very good
advice, and, of course, you won't follow
it.
Never give minister a pair of slippers
if there is a small boy in his family, for
small boys ought to be happy on Christ
mas.
Never ask a girl for a kiss when she's
under the mistIetoe bough. Take it.
Never try to give your wife $500
sealskin sack If you are somebody's cash
Ter on an income of 81 n week.
Never give your husband 2 box of CT
CARS. Give him a big box of Schuyler's
bonbons, and some of it may come your
way.
Never get mixed and give Mrs. Jones
the present she sent you last year. She
may recognize it.
Never warn woman that she is stand
ing under the mistletoe. IL she's homely,
she will be your enemy for life; if she's
pretty, she'll think, not without reason,
perhaps, that you're fool.

American Women Ridiculous on .
Waxed Floor, Says London Master.
America looms large in the corona
ton prospectuses issued by the dan
cling masters. London women and men
hailing from Yaukeeland are invited to
come early and avoid the rush. They
are told that next season the British
capital will surrender itself TO the de-
lights of dancing, and that Americans
can satisfactorily participate in the
festivities only by learning in advance
how to maneuver in a ballroom accord
ing to the accepted English fashion.
Many new movements specially Gre
ated for the coronation are announced,
and masters claim that Americans will
be given opportunity to study them no.
where except in cOckney academies.
Mr.. Walter Humphrey, head of a
London academy of dancing and editor
of The Dancing Times. says: Eng
lishmen cannot admire the art of the
ballroom as taught in the United
States. 1t violates every principle Of
graceful motion. American ladies are
especially ridiculous when they try to
dance Their vertical demonstrations
are exaggerated, not to say grotesque.
Their bodies sway about absurdly, and
they attempt to lead rather than fol-
low their male companions.
american ladies never dance ac-
ceptably in smart circles in London
without first getting instruction at the
hands of capable teachers. English
men find it quite impossible. to follow
their vigorous and complicated gyra-
tions. English ladies permit their gen.
tlemen partners to lead absolutely.
They understand that proficiency in
the art of dancing from their point Of
view consists In accommodating their
movements perfectly to those of their
companions.
"They preserve an easy rigidity Of
body and glide through the figures in
stead of leaping and hopping excited
Iy. English ladies are able to dance
with American gentlemen far better
than English gentlemen with American
ladies'"
Mr.. Humphrey asserts that the dane
ing academies of London always have
4 large number OF Americans getting
rid of terpsichorean vulgarisms picked
up in the United States and taking on
the graces of the art as understood and
practiced in English society.
