Then there's another thing about
this Christmas present hiding busi-

don't they? Well, l don't believe IT;
In my opinion men are whole heap
more curious and inquisitive than
women. Fact is, I know it.
For instance, a husband, long
about this season that's approaching,
is cropping around for a fresh shirt
upon getting up in the morning. He
yanks out the wrong drawer Of the
bureau. WE'LL on this morning he
pulls out the bottom bureau drawer,
say, and his wife, who is fixing
her hair at the chitfonier in an
other part Of the room, catches him
in the act just in time, let's out heI

bureau and pushes the drawer shut

the mullethead goes on grtnning like
a chimpanzee while he brushes hif

"'Watchoo got in there, anyway?
he asks her.
"She tells him, with grimace
and very properly, that it's none OF hi
business. And she adds something
about folks that rubber
! "'But, say, g'wan and tell me what

again, wheedlingly.

"tThats all right about the cat,
says the husband then, but I'll bet
you new rubber plant that It's cigars
that you've got in there And then
he begins to look bit alarmed. Say,
I hope not, though. I'm thinking about
swearing OF smoking soon now, any

was in the west changed to blood red;
still not breath Of air. Toward noon
the CLASSY water grew dark, where lit
tie puffs of wind ruffled it's surface.
BY night the clouds had risen
like q wall, stretching from the south
to the northeast, but still it was clear
overhead; no clouds, only a murky,
yellow haze.
Fitful blasts of wind came tearing
through the quaint old fishing town Of
Arichat, making signs and shutters
tremble and creak for an instant and
then silence--that dreadful silence
that seemed to still the very beating
of ones heart.
That night Marie prayed as though
she we're pleading for her soul: 20,
Holy Mother, plead for me, even as
thou hadst a Son." and then the hot
food of tears fell fast, binding and

dering at her guarding rocks. By
night the world was spray covered
the world of L'Isle Madam. The sky
and the earth and the sea were one.
And still from the southeast the storm
drove, and all that night.
And in the morning of the second
day the crash Of breaking timbers
mingled with the boom of the mighty
waves as they dashed against the
granite walls.
People were hurrying towards the
surf.beaten shore. Her long hair toss
ing in the maddened breeze, Marie
rushed after them; in her heart the
cry that had been there for so many
hours, Holy Mother, save my Leon!"
Eyes, yes; it's LIE Bretagne," an old
man was saying, slowly lowering his
glass as Marie came up to the group
Of people who were straining their
eyes seward. Her anchors are out,
he continued, but she cannot live In
such gale under that strain, and Il
she parts her cable she will go tc

His words were scarcely audible
above the shrieking of the wind; but
Marie heard, and there, among thosC
rough fishermen, she knelt and prayed

out toward the eastern sky. 1t was
six when the gray wall Of the sea rose
and blotted out the ship as though she
had gone to the bottom.
Then the dark figure which had
been outlined against the crimson OF
the big, red setting sun turned YEARLY
and crept over the sands towards
Arichat-it was Marie, returning to
her newly widowed home.
Leon said he would come at the
time Of Christmas, so why should
fear?" she kept muttering, "and Leon
will keep his word in life or death.
Even If I'm dead, Marie, ne said,
Joking me, I will come to thee at

On the farther side Of LIsle Madam
the sea was moaning as Marie reached
her cottage.
One month had gone-one month Oh

1t was just "a days since the gray
