that I had given her the ring.
A sort Of treaty was made whereby
it was provided that Adelaide should
keep the ring that night and should
sit up as long as she pleased to admire
it, but on the morrow she should give
it into the custody Of her foster moth

This was done, but the subsequent
investigation was singularly barren of
results. For obvious reasons it was
conducted with caution-with so much

A Christmas Sketch
By Zoe Anderson Norris

fCopyright, 1904, by Zoe Anderson Norris.1
~IIIS was the Christmas letter
she wrote him:
think, my friend, that it would
be best if you remain where you
are. OF course you must know that it is
not because I don't want to see you. I
do! l do. But there are many reasons
why I should not; why it would be best
II we never met again. In the first place,
after a succession Of sleepless nights and
heartaches, l have learned to do without
you. I have learned to live quietly. COM
posedly; rising of mornings and going
about my work in a leaden sort of way,
it is true, but calmly; without much hope
Of happiness-without any, In fact, but
also without that feverish restlessness
which invariably follows upon the pur-
suit Of happiness.
Indeed, + have resolutely put the hope
Of happiness aside. 1t is not for me.
You see, have reasoned the whole thing
out deliberately, carefully, laboriously. 1t
Is not as if I were a young girl, rushing
blindly into a future apparently couleur

A burnt child breads the fire. I am lit
tie afraid of second venture, my friend.
Your letter lies before me. The address is
blurred where have kept it warm against
my heart. It is quite evident that at pres
ent you are blind. Love is always blind
for q little whiie-for a very little while,
alas! I am. beautiful. I am charming. I
am always in your thoughts. The fates
have Willed that we shall be happy. You
are determined to see me again. You
await the word to come. One is uncon-
sciously charming. Many women absolute
ly devoid of beauty have charmed. So I
may be that, butt am no longer beauti-
full. I was beautiful once-tllat night
trailed up the long, perfumed aisle of a
befowered cathedral, the white bride of
the man who promised there to love,
protect and cherish me.
Love, protect, cherish! I fear I have
lost faith in the belief that marriages are
made in heaven. Heaven had little
enough to DO with that marriage.
Yes; was beautiful then and long aft
er. People turned to look at me twice.
Once two women passed me. One said,
"Isn't she pretty?" And the other replied,
'She is the prettiest woman in this town. :"
So you see I must have possessed some
real beauty to be admired by my own
sex. Mustn't I? But now! But now!
Nobody ever looks at me twice. Nobody
ever turns deliberately around to look at
/ me. Their g!ances; rest idly upon me and
pass-even those OF the little boys who

SHE PALED SOMEWHAT.

my own part I succeeded in reaching
something which may be called an
opinion. In brief, 1 decided that the
ring had come from Garland, that stel-
ia Tracy knew it, and that she was
Jealous to the verge Of utter absurdity.
AS to Garland's motive for making
gift T. gropedl in homeless dark.
ness. He was clearly not a man who
would do such a thing from mistaken
generosity. In fact, he was one who
demanded full return for all expendi-
lures. Adelaide certainly did not know
that Garland was the donor Of the ring,
and If he should tell her so she would
give it back. Such being the case,
what had the man gained? What could
he hope to gain? Though he had
shown some tendency to firt with AIDE
laide, he really seemed to be in love
with Stella, and, moreover, she was
quite an heiress, while Adelaide hadn't
penny This was distinction less
likely than almost any other to be over
looked by Frank Garland unless I
greatly misjudged him.
So the days went by, and we learned
nothing. At last, however, had a
promising idea. If the ring came from
Garland it was probably bought in
Boston. The jeweler could identify the
ring, and almost anybody in the trade
would know whence came the box.
This had once borne the name Of a
dealer upon the inside but the mark
had been carefully obliterated.
The upshot Of it was that made a
trip to Boston, taking the mysterious
present with me. also took one Of
Adelaides kisses-more probably a
hundred, though I saw only one. It
was, regret to say, bestowed, like all
the others, upon an inanimate object,
the ring.
The very first man to whom I took
this object now doubly precious to me,
for reasons which I have just stated,
solved all my doubts in the matter.
"Ye-es," said he slowly as he scruti-
nized the box, that comes from the
Ajax Diamond company. They make
