Good night, and a happy new year

as he strobe from the house.
Il didn't mean fifteen years. Jere-

self as she thrust Captain Ladd's pic
ture in the FIRE. az meant l would
walt always. I've Just found it out"
There was little contented smile
on her face now as she dreamed be-
fore the fire. and so she did not hear
low tap at the door. Again it sound
ed, louder, and she rose to her feet
with little frightened CRY.
The door swung open. and this time
tall form entered and stamped the
clinsing snow from his feet
"Marcia-little Marcia" be cried
eagerly. II amt too late? You're wait.
Ing for me yet?'
YES" sobbed Marcia In Jeremiah.s
strong arms.

had promised. THAT is an awful long
time, and 1t proves how much-I care!"
Jeremiah had admitted tenderly that
1t did prove Marcia's love, and SO he
had trudged away into the west. The
years had dragged by. and Jeremiah
had not made a fortune. but Marcia
was still waiting.
Every month her lover had written
long letter, and these letters became
If last history Of disillusIonment and
hard. hard work-a history OF digging
underground, Of great strikes" and
disastrous business deals In which
Jeremiah Allen always came out a
poorer and wiser man than when he
entered. It would seem that with so
much poverty and wisdom thrust upon
him jeremiah might have done better,
but he never did.
Bis last letter had contained glowing
accounts Of new camp In the Klon-
like. he was there now. she thought
IF Jeremiah doesn't come tonight

Eyerred Marcia again as she stared
steadily at the fire.
The clock licked above the high
mantelshelf. the cat purred noIsily in
the warm corner. and the logs Kissed
and spat in the fireplace. Outside It
was showing softly, and now and then
4 large fake touched the window pane
with mufied rap.
III he doesn't come tonight" she ar.
sued with herself, che can't expect me
to wait for him any longer. I'm thir-
ty-eight now. ! shall marry Captain
Ladd In a month" She shuddered a
little at the sight Of Captain Lads
rnhicund visage peering at her around
the clock on the shelf.
Il don't s'pose Jere d wait to see
that picture on the SHELF" she unused
as she hid It IN a drawer. "He used to

now. he must be forty-two. / hope

With this resolution the door opened,
and in walked the captain. his hair
and beard sprinkled with clinginc
