S1dered the matter | concluded that
Helen Holbrook could readily slip out
at the back of the house, when the
guards thus met, and that she had
thus found egress on the night before.
At this moment the two guards met
precisely at the front door, and to my
surprise Sister Margaret, in the brown
garb Of her sisterhooI, stepped out,
nodded to the watchmen in the light
of the overhanging lamp, and walked
slowly round the buildings and toward
the lake. The men promptly resumed
their patrol. The sister slipped away
like a shadow through the garden;
M I dropped down from the wall in
/ the school park n stole after
her The guards were guilty Of no
improperly in passing her; there was,
to be sure, nc reason why Sister Mar
garet should not do. precisely as she
liked at ST. Agatha's. However, my
curiosity was piqued, and I crept quiet
ly along through the young naples
that fringed the wall. She followed a
path that led dow to the pier, and 1
hung back to watch, still believing
that Sister Margaret had gone forth
merely to enjoy the peace and beauty
of the night. I paused in a little thick.
ct, and heard her light step on the
pier flooring; and 1 drew as near as I
dared, in the shadow of the b%oathouse.
She stood beside the upright staff
from which the pier lights swung
the white lantern between the two red
ones-1ookfng out across the lake. The
lights outlined her tall figure distinct
ly. She peered abou a~nXiOusly sew
era1 times, and I heard the impatient
tap of her foot on the pIanks. In the
lake sounded the faint gurg1e Of water
round a paddle, and in a moment a
canoe glided to the pier and a man
stepped out. He bent down to seize
the painter, and I half turned away,
ashamed of the sheer curiosity that
had drawn me after the sister. Nuns
who chafe at their prison Jars are not
new, either to omance or history;
and this surely was no affair of mine.
Then the nan stood up, and / saw that
it was Gillespie. He was hatleSs, and
his arms were barred. He began to
speak, but she quieted him with a
word; and as with a gesture she flung
back her brown hood, 1 saw that it
was Helen Holbrook.
Il had given you up she said.
He took both her hands and held
them, bending toward her eagerly. She
seemed taller than he in the lantern
light.
Il should have come across the
world" he said.
You must believe that 1 should not
have asked this of you if had not be-
lieved you could do it without injury
to yourself-that it would impose no
great burden on you, and that you
would not think too i'll of me-"
Il love you; l am here because l
love you!" he said; and l thought bet
ter of him than l had. He was a fool,
and weak; but he was, I believed, an
honest fool, and my heart grew hot
with jealous rage as 1 saw them there
together.
If there is more 1 can do"
NO; and 1 should not ask you if
there we're. l have gone too far, as it
is" she signed.
You must take no risks; you must
take care that Miss Pat knows moth
ing"
NO; l must see father. He must
go away. 1 believe he has lost his
senses from brooding on his troubles"
But nov did he ever get here?
There is something very strange
about it."

Said Mrs. "A TO Mr.. A on Dec. ST.

You certainly can be horrid upon this night of all NIGHT,
when you should look back upon the things which you have reedlessly
robbed me OF during the year just closing. I should think you would
be ashamed to SIT there and point to my few small pleasures as though
they weR vices from which | should escape. There is certainly little
enough in life for me without being deprived of books and social
intercourse. But If l must, l must, and if the sacrifice of my innocent
pleasures will put a stop to your many vices I presume I must offer
them on the altar of noble and obedient wifehood. But, oh, John. I
did not think you would ask it. Tears)
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1909-12-24
Mrs. A TO Mr.. A on Dec. ST.

With all the many vices with which you indulge yourself, it seems
that you might overlook the n small pleasure which I have. Yes, I
admit there arr more eevating books than present-day novels. But
get my wee mite Of enjoyment? Do you, John, think it fair to ask
of ME this sacrifice that you might have the slippers you certainly do
not need? Your vices are SO great beside my small one. If you really
mean all that you say about planning for the future, why not give up
your club? 1t is but another Of the many needless expenses which
you incur year after year.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1909-12-24

That's right, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I had not thought
of it before. That will be money saved. Now I propose a bargain,
and it's fair. My resignation from the club will go in tonight if you
will join me in the good work and mail tonight your withdrawal from
the bridge club or class OF whatever you may call it. A good deed
is always better when it's doubled, and that will be two good deeds
accomplished, two savings made, instead Of one. What say you, nv
dear; will you join me in turning over this new leaf with the opening
of a ley year? The question is entirely needless, for l know, Of
course, that you will.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1909-12-24

Tomorrow another year begins. Tonight is the time Of all
times to plan for the future. To resolve; to forswear our petty vices
to lay aside the evils in our lives. Have you, John, considered what
tonight means to you, and to me? Have you thought of the things
I have gone without and might have had but for your extravaganza?
Have you counted the cost to you, and to me, of your so-caned pleas
ures? You sit there smoking a vile weed, but have you thought of
the gowns you have burned up within a year? I venture to sy no.
Let's talk it over, join, just you and l. and a the old year dies plan
for better and more noble things in the year to come.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1909-12-24
Said Mr.. A to Mrs. A on Dec. ST.

Your sentiments, my dear, IRE noble ones, and meet with my
approval. We will plan tonight for the year that is to come. Yes,
not the year alone, but years. We will study and solve the problems
that mean a better and truer life for you and me. There are many
little things we might improve upon. So many better ways in which
to spend the small sums We now but throw away. The price of that
novel you are reading would have purchased the slippers I SO badly
need. Now let's begin by my giving up cigars, which I agree are
but vile weeds, and you your novels, which are but the cheapest kind
of trash and twaddle.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1909-12-24
Mr.. "A TO Mrs. A on Dec. s1:-

Now, wife, don't cry. l am a brute and 1 admit it. Let's start
anew and talk this over. Let's see if we have sinned against ourselves
or others. Let's see if our so-caned vices ar not mere pleasures to
which we are entitled. l think they are. l see nothing we need repent
of; nothing to swear off. I'll keep my cigars and you your novels.
Ill keep my club and you your bridge game. Well let gowns and
slippers go hang if need be, and enjoy ourselves. Now, that is better,
isn't it, my dear? That meets with your approval, I a sure, and we
will greet the coming year with JOY and not with tears and Iamenta-
tons.

There have been rumors from time

rumor current for several weeks OF
an expedition being organized to go
to Christmas Island, and It Is under
stood that schooner has been char

scene of the disaster.
The Aeon went ashore In such a
position that salvage was impossible
and the passengers escaped with diff

ed to have visited the wreck and re-
moved some of the valuables. though
there is no authentic proof that such
was the case.
