She glanced that way nervously when
the door bell rang.
When she opened the hall door the
light from the lamp in her hand fell
upon fair girlish face framed round
with sunny hair. Miss Betty recognized
her caller as one of the teachers from the
village school,
"Good evening, Miss Nesbit. Will
you walk in?"
Florence Nesbit followed the mistress
OF the house to the sitting-room. AS
soon as she was within the room the
girl began speaking:
"Oh, Miss Dane, my errand is a
strange one! You know am a stranger
here, and l have been so homesick! |
haven't any home-my mother went
away from me year ago. 1 looked in
your window as I walked by. You
looked so cozy and homelike, just came
in to ask you if would board me-"
Board you! Why, never thought of
taking boarders. What put it into your
head?"
Florence's lips Quivered. Gust be-
cause you were alone, like myself. I
wouldn't be any trouble and-oh Miss
Dane, l could be so happy here with
you?"
Where do you board?"
with Mrs. Elmer There is to be a
vacation of two weeks at the hDIidays.
and l must stay there"
Miss Dane recalled what she knew of
Mrs. Elmer's housekeeping and shud-
dered.
'You poor child! Of course you can
come here. There is the other bedroom
downstairs, always warm. and the
place opposite me at table. Why. Miss
Nesbit, believe they have been waiting
for you"
Florence threw both arms round the
others neck. "I can't thank you; there
are no words to tell you what it means
to me. / walked by your window three
times before could get courage enough
to knock! Oh, you don't know how glad
1 am! 1t is like beautiful Christmas
present"
Miss Betty started, remembering her
own longing for Christmas remem-
brances. Would not this girls pres
ence in the house be to her, in her lone
Illness, gift that would partake of the
Christmas spirit?
The days went by quickly. Much to
Miss Betty's surprise she found herself
busy with preparations for the coming
holiday season.
There were the children In Florence's
room. Miss Betty became almost as en-
thusiastic regarding the surprise plan
ned for them as was the girl teacher.
Then Miss Betty not only gave her usu-
al contribution Of money for the Sunday
school tree. but she promised to go with
Florence and help trim it. The basket
for the church poor was filed to over
flowing. To the one for Mrs Carpen-
ter Miss Betty added one OF the hand

Christmas Gift
By HOPE DARING

Let me see! To-day is-yes, it is the
tenth. Just two weeks from tomorrow
lis Christmas!"
Miss Betty Dane, spinster, stood be-
fore a calendar which hung on her'sit-
ting-room wall. She was plump lit
tie woman, upon whose face faded
pink flush still fingered. Her brown
eyes were shy, and the brown hair
rolled back from her brow was threaded
with silver.
"Christmasi" she repeated, as she
went back to her rocking chair. 81 sup
pose Christian woman ought not to say
such thing, but dread the day." and
Miss Betty wiped her eyes.
Il ought to be ashamed, and l am"
she went on, rocking to and fro, "but
it's dreadful never to have Christmas
like folks who have family. Now I'm
not repining because I'm an old maid,
for l never saw the man I'd think of, not
for years, anyway" the dull pink in her
cheeks burned to crimson 81 haven't

She sat few minutes in silence, then
resumed her half-articulate murmur:
"If l was poor-I mean needy, for

The Bourbon news., 1904-12-23

A little later she stood by the dresser,
the shades lowered, and her purchases
set out before her. After her usual fash
ion Miss Betty communed with herself:
"You were foolish. Betty Dane, to pay
a dollar and half for a china cup and
saucer when you have more than two
dozen of them now. But it is beauty" !"
touching the fragile porcelain with q
caressing finger, land there's nothing
nicer to give woman than china. There
are two handkerchiefs. They are the
sheerest, softest linen. and the en-
broidery is beautiful. l am not so sure
about the book. The girl at the store
said The Blue Flower was one of the
best-selling books of the season. But
did something worse than buying these
things"
Miss Betty paused. Her eyes spar
kled, and she trembled with excite
ment
"You ordered two dozen red carna-
tions sent up to yourself on Christmas
eve. Yes, you did, Betty Dane. Well,
I suppose you had right to, only it's
too bad there is no one else"
With sigh she commenced her prep
arations for supper The momentary
depression passed as her mind dwelt
upon her days outing. When she sat
down to her supper Miss Betty was at
peace with all the world.
The table was spread with snowy
linen, glistening silver and pretty china.
There was a quaint, old-fashioned sill
yer teapot of fragrant hyson, bread, a
pat of yellow butter, creamed potatoes,
thin slices of pink ham, dish of black
berry jam, and a plate Of rich dark
fruit cake.
The windows of the dining-room faced
the side street In her abstraction Miss
Betty had forgotten to lower the shades.

thankful that I don't need that, and
always give something to help fill the

She has done it every Christmas for ten

capital letter. There's Niece Tillie.
She never fails to send me the new baby 5

there is no new baby she sends me a
card. Such things are all well enough,
but they don't mean"
Miss Betty stopped, rose, and walked
aimlessly into the adjoining dining
room After a few moments she re-
turned to her former position. A de-
termined look was upon her face.
"I'll do it. Why shouldn't L? The
day after tomorrow I'll go to the city,
and l will buy dainty little things, such
Christmas. l will pretend to myself that
they mean the love am so slow learn
ing to live without"
On the morning of the second day fol-
lowing Miss Dane left the village on
the nine o'clock train. She did not re-
turn until four.
AS she walked briskly homeward
from the depot, her arms filled with
packages, she was overtaken by Mrs.
Hall.
why, lands sakes, Miss Betty! You
don't mean to say as you've been to the
city, do you? l didn't know as you was

We'll, have been there" Miss Dane
answered, little defantly.
'What'd you go for? You've got a
new hat already, and your cloak was

II went to do some shopping"
Land sakes! What'd you buy?"
Miss Betty threw back her head. her
brown eyes staring straight ahead of
her
Il bought Christmas gifts. Good-by,
Mrs. Hail." and, turning a corner, the
half-frightened spinster hurried down
street that led directly to her own door.
Mrs Hall looked after the plump lit
tie figure, baffled curiosity depicted on
her face.
Miss Betty is altogether too close
mouthed. 1t amt becomin' to a wom-
an as lives alone"
Miss Dane soon reached her own home.
1t was fast growing darl;, and as she
entered the sitting-room the CLEAN of
the coal stove seemed like welcome.
I'm glad to be back, but l am not
sorry l went" she thought as she care
fully laid her parcels on the bed. "It
