And what sort of a looking fellow was

he was tall and dark, not too tall, but
good and stout And how could she
ever entertain them? She could play
and sing a few pretty ballads and any
number of hymns, but as for converse
ton she felt herself wholly deficient.
OF the world of art, literature and the
drama she knew but little. She had
read a good many novels, it is true,
and had seen Uncle Toms Cabin,

Christmas came on Thursday that
year, and her school was to close for

If there is anything that will touch

teacher-ask him to go for ground pine

supplied with an ample outfit of that
! graceful vine. More than that, they
begged for the privilege of helping heI

were draped over the windows and
above the fireplace in the big parlor
and the hall and dining room received

added, Il have the horse hitched out

She led the way, and when they had
slowed their belongings in the sleigh
she said, you can hold me in your

a welcome

~%SOU must not expect much eX-
Z element up in Sandgate,"
ESTs775l Albert said to his friend the
u day they started for that
quiet village. "It is a small place, and
all the people do in the winter is to
chop wood, shovel snow, eat and go
to meeting. We shall go sIeighing, and
shall take you to church to be stared
at, and for the rest Alice and Aunt
Susan will give Us plenty to eat
1t was nearly dark and showing
when they reached Sandgate, and when
Frank Mason saw plump, girlish fig
ure with slightly whitened garments
rush forward, almost jump into his
friends arms and kiss him vehement
~, it occurred to him that a welcome
home by such sister was worth COM
ing many miles for.
Then he heard his name mumbled in
a hurried Introduction and, as he
raised his hat, saw this girl withdraw
a small hand from a mitten and offer
it to him.
81 am very glad to meet you, Mr..
Mason" she said with a bright smile;

and sewing circle talk.
eff Alice could only cit married
now" observed Mrs. Mears, who was
perhaps the leader among the gossips
in Sandgate, "it 'ud be the most fort
nit thing that could happen, but she
holds her head perty middlin' high for
a poor girl, which p'raps is nat'ral, she
comm from one O. the oldest families
They say there want nothin' left to

died, an the wonder is how she man
aged to git along as well as she did"
The vexations of an effort to pound
the Tudiments of an education into
the heads of two dozen or so barefoot
ed boys and girls that comprised her
charge were far less hard to bear than
the desolatiOn of a home bereft OF
mother and brother. Occasionally
! some one Of the neighbors would drop
/ in of an evening or one or two of her
girl friends come and stay all night
On Sundays she was, as she always
had been, a regular attendant at the
village church, where she formed one
/ of the choir.
She was like a flower herself, not
only in looks, but in delicacy of feeling
and sentiment, and her sweet face,
sheltered by a mourning hat on Sun
day at church, was a magnet that drew
the eyes of many a village swain. The
days and weeks of her new life as
teacher passed in uneventful process
sion until one by one the leaves had
fallen from the two big elm trees In
front of the desolate home, the mead
ows were but level fields of snow, and
Christmas was only two weeks away.
Then she received a letter from the
absent brother that caused her heart
to beat with unusual excitement. II
