"Old man." wrote the Billville citi-
zen, ''it was my intendin' to give you
a fine present fer Christmas, but
come short this year by the sheriff
ievyin' on my cotton an the govern
ment on my corn; so l kin only send
you a gallon jug of the last named,
which amt much as my ambitions is
fer you; but I'll say this, old boy:
There's enough in that jug to make
you have the jolliest time O. yer life
fer day or two; eff you can't buy a
circus ticket, there's a whole circus in
six drains, an eternal movin' pictur'
show in 20; so make the most of it,"

father had heard himself thus ceremo-
niously addressed, and the canny Scot
blood leaped in veins he thought long
dead to pride.
Somebody said: well, Mac, l
reckon that's you," and he shuffled up
to the tree and took the slip of paper
Santa Claus proffered. 1t was a sworn
promise to buy the 20-acre lot adjoin-
ing MacGregor's place, adding that the
mysterious donor had stopped by the
owners farm and taken an option on
it in favor of Malcolm MacGregor!
Below the business form were the
written words: "The one and only
consideration therefor, to be the hand
of his daughter, Mary, to be mine, to
have and to hold from this day forth"
MacGregor tottered to chair,
where he sat gazing at the precious
paper. In the hubbub nobody noticed
him; the children fingered about
Santa Claus, shifting at his empty bag,
longing to touch the hem of his robe.
He waved them away, signifying to
Malcolm to follow him out of doors.
Here, at the edge of the clearing, he
awaited the man and his daughter.
When they came ne said, still in the
disguised voice: MAY hope, Mr.. Mac
Gregor that you will accede to the
plan-?"
Put her thar, Bud" and Mac Gregor
grasped his hand.
But he reeled and leaned against
blasted tree for support when Santa
Claus, throwing off the cap, revealed
the smooth-shaven, square-jawed face
of the teacher at Rabun's Gap.
Thank you, Mr.. MacGregor," and
the teacher moved to Mary's side.
Her father rallied to swear and say:
But | thought"
You thought you were swapping
your daughter for a 20-acre lot,-and
you were not mistaken; the only mis-
take is in the identity of the party,
and that will scarcely matter. Or,
perhaps, you prefer to let your friends
know that"
But nobody ever did know, and the
identity of Santa Claus was so well
kept that to this day the children be-
lieye that he hid in a cave, and the
spring fresnet rushed in and drowned
him. anyway, he has never come
back.

XMAS BEFORE THE MAST
How Crew Celebrated MerrIy Off
the Coast of California in the
Early Days.
-GpsrybedY's

A good many of you may have read
Richard H. Dana's interesting story of
sea life, Two Years Before the Mast"
Dana's vessel was collecting hides on
the coast of California, when that
coast was in a semi-civilized condi-
ton. He thus describes Christmas
among the crew:
"As there were no hides to take
in, and nothing especial to do, the cap
tain gave us a holiday, the first we
had had except Sundays since leav-
ing Boston; and we had a plum
duff for dinner.
"The crew of the Russian brig, lying
alongside us, following the old style,
had celebrated their Christmas II
days before, when they had grand
blowout and (as our men said)
had drunk in the forecastle a keg of
gin ate up a bag of tallow and made
a soup of the skin!'"
Certain it is that Christmas is the
one universal festival the round world
over; and every resident of a Chris
tian land carries Christmas in his
heart wherever he may go.

NOW THE ROBIN HOOD HAT
Style That Divides Favor with What
is Known as the Prairie, of
Felt and Suede.

Millinery is one of the most impor~
tant features in the toilette OF the
woman who wishes to be we'll dressed,
and to-day the cult of the plain hat is
as carefully considered as the elabo-
rate, the subject being as inexhaustible
as the budget itself. The craze for
beaver still continues, but it is safe
to predict that as the winter ap-
proaches black will lead the van,
e G~orned with cinnamon and royal blue
ostrich plumes for visiting and velvet
for morning wear. The Robin Hood,
hat is the latest shape to make it's de-
but carried out in this charming ma
terial As VII be remembered, the
hat WORT by the famous outlaw of this
name was turned up on one side, had
rather a high crown, and was trimmed
witt. two long quill-like feathers. The
smart mondaine, although retaining
the shape, has substituted a rosette of
ttnse and tuft of breast plumage
for the feathers. For travelling it will
divide honors with the prairie hat,
which is fashioned OF felt and relieved
with band of suede of contrasting
shade.-From the Taller.

you are crazy for it, and you want me
to marry Bud because he's promised
to buy the lot if you make me marry
him. Promise! he has promised every
thing-from that land to collar for
Peppers neck"
The tiny black dog snoo2ing under
the counter heard his name and crept
to her feet; she stopped and patted
him.
Her father paused in the act of pill
ing the good apples on top of the
barrel. 81 know; it's all on account
of that teacher man. And what's he
done? Tried to get the mountain folks
to send our youngsters to him to be
larned how to work. Thunderation!
Can't we larn ye that ourselves? If
he'd give ye booklarnin', it wouldn't
be so bad, but"
That's foolishness, Pappy; there's
a lot of good in this new kind of study
ing that they call manual training.
It's just because you haven't been
hearing it all your born lives that you
object. Why, you won't hear to any
thing that isn't as old as the noun
tains themselves"
Pepper dropped from her arms as
she lowered over her father. How
can we grow? How can we amount
to row of beans # you keep us in
the same old rut? Only to-day l heard
you tell Bill Dawson that you were
sorry we were having such good
weather. 1t don't seem natural for
Christmas, you said, it don't seem
like old tines Old fiddlesticks! Just
because the nasty wet fog is what
we're used to this time of year, you
don't want the sun to shine. Looks like
you don't want the Lord to improve
on his own weather."
A customer came in and got a nick
els worth of candy for his baby's
Christmas stocking.
81 hear you all air goin' to hev a
celebration tonight; I'll be along and
fetch the young uns," he said. Who's
goin' to play Santa CLAUSE"
MacGregor looked at his daughter
Dunno; Names fixed up rig and
says she'll find some un to wear it;
some un to play Old Nick and give
the things off the tree"
Ar this while Mamie was slyly re-
reading the letter.

hitched the mules outside, and hur-

A Golden Feather.

1t can be made of an old quill from
which the battered feathers have been
stripped. .E>
Gold lace is sewn as a scant ruffie on:
each side, the end being slightly
pointed.
You have no idea how effective this
is on a fur turban. From this idea a.
departure into the realms of silver.
bronze or jeweled lace can be made.
and at little cost.
This quill, with band of braid or
lace to match will furnish sufficient
trimming for a velvet or fur toque.
