quickly, as he glanced up the street
and saw Miss Willoughby approach

voice, and Midnight raised his head
and smiled into the face of Miss VIII
loughby, who stood at the other end
of the stand, taking great pains not to
see Cameron, who was striving equally
to avoid her.
where is that mistletoe you want
ed me to have, Midnight? You see,
got up very early to be the first one
here, and you know you promised it
to me-"

Half unconsciously the two young
persons reached for the bough, then
hesitated.
"Why, of course, let Mr.. Cameron
have it for him mother" spoke up
Miss Willoughby.
"Give it to Miss Willoughby," said
Cameron. Perhaps you will find the
other piece after awhile"

The girl glanced at Cameron, and in
another moment the young couple
were walking away from the stand
carrying the bunch of mistletoe be-
tween them. Midnight grinned as he
leaned against his stand and com
mented:

and Midnight felt at peace with all
the world. People were flying past,
their arms laden with presents, and
all anxious to be home AS he stood
in a sheltered corner of his booth,
counting up his profits of the day, he
called to Cameron:

~ Cameron bluntly ignored
- the cheerful greeting and
the newspaper which Mid
night, the colored newsbOy, held out
fer him, and walked on briskly down
the street, lis gaze directed toward
the pavement. He hurried, absent
mindedly, to the elevated sta ton, and
as he neared the steps stopped sud
denly, bought a paper from a news
stand close by, and then ran up to
catch a train that was laundering up
TO the platform.
Midnight tumb1ed back against his
newsstand, a queer expression Of be-
wildeTment and sadness spreading
over his face.

All the rest of the day Midnight was
in a sort of a trance. He watched the
elevated stairway from early after
noon for the return of Cameron. His

young lawyer walked YEARLY down
the steps Midnight watched his
every move jealou5ly to see whether
he purchased an afternoon paper from
his rivals. Cameron stopped at the
little negros stand.

langUidly.

Appropriate Salads,

To serve after a fish course or
heavy meats the salad should be a
crisp vegetable, preferably cucumbers
or tomatoes, with French dressing
With game, serve chicory, water
cress or any kind of lettuce.
With roasts, the best salad is of
lettuce with apple or any light fruit
Garlic in potato salad is liked by
epicures and Glove Of garlic rubbed
around the salad bowl is enough to
give it flavor.
Heavy meat salads are sometimes
served at dinner, but they do not in
terfere with the delicate salad which
accompanies the meat or fish. They
must, however, be served first; no
salad after the meat

To Keep Celery.

To prevent celery from having the
rusty appearance which spoils it for
salads. keep it closely wrapped in par
ATTN paper in a closed, cool place.
Also avoid using water on it until a
short time before serving. The dis
carded stalks are excellent for soups,
gravies, etc., being more effective
than celery salt.
