pleasure and SO much childish laugh
ter that he glanced up the dimly-
lighted stairs and said to himself:
"Old Santa must have changed his
route this year and come among the
poor"
And at late hour, when the Christ
mas angel and her guardian walked
downstairs together and she was put
into cab for home, they still talked
and still laughed, nor did they know
that they would ever meet again. She
had lashed him for his heartlesness.
She was hoping that he would see that
she had forgiven him. He had been
almost brutal. He was hoping that
she had seen his better side. No cards
no names.
Goodnight" they said at parting;
and when he raised his hat she knew
that 1t was in courtesy instead of
irony.
Days later, when the girl visited the
old tenement again, the sick woman
and her children had vanished, but
had left word behind for her. The
man-wolf was still there, but instead
of growing and showing his teeth, he
smiled at her. In another place, with
light and air and food and comforts
in abundance, the girl found the
mother and her little ones. 1t was
glad surprise, and to the look OF In

"Yes?" Anthony's voice was very
cold.
BE sure to have that ring In readi-

And the next instant Anthony found
himself elbowed out of the tent BY
impatient walters at the door, and
without another glance about the deo-
Grated room he left the church and
went home, much perturbed.
OF course. Anthony Riggs knew
that the fortune teller could be none
other than some member Of his
church who was familiar with more
or less of the detail of his life and
habits. He was surprised at his own
lack, of indignation because his pri-
vate affairs had been discussed by .
stranger-indeed. he almost felt .
glow of qualification that he was still
numbered among those to whom
something wonderful might happen.
"I'll try 1t, anyway" said Anthony
that night as he blew out his candle.

1t is a simple matter to make poor
people happy. Anthony Riggs found
1t SO. The day before Christmas was
marked by series of galvanic shocks
for the servant maid in the basement
OF Anthony's fine house. Before night
the pantries were filled with delicious
viands and the smell of spices and
mincemeat pervaded the house.
Anthony's three persons became

one and still another to the little
company he had invited. They were
old men and women and they enjoyed

The best gift Of all was that Anthony

of the bitter years he had wasted
years In which he might have
made many persons happy. Tho re-
ward Of good deeds was warm in bis
heart this night and he forgot that
there was not one to offer him q gift
with loving words. He had received
the greatest of all gifts-the love and
gratitude of his fellow men.
The door softly opened and wom-
an crept in, small, slender woman
with dusky hair and dark eyes shining
like stars.
Anthony Riggs did not look up. He
had forgotten that the fortune teller
had promised him gift that night.
On his little finger was small ring
set with a single pearl.
"Anthony!" The visitors voice was
low and musical.
Mary Wood" said Anthony hoarse-
ly; and then with glance at the
black lace draped about her head, he
added: -
You were the fortune teller last
night?'
yes"
and you-you meant what you
promised?-that happiness would
come to me?"
'It has come, Anthony" she faltered
drawing near to him. 1--WE were SO
mistaken-you and land the years
have been long l am free now-they
said you needed me and that night
when 1 saw your bitter face 1 knew
you needed the influence of greater
love than mine before we met"
Anthony Riggs took his sweetheart
into his arms. 81 have found the
greater love, Mary, and its root is pity.
My love for you will be better and
worthier because of my love for the
poor and needy. And tomorrow-to-
morrow you will marry me and be-
come my Christmas gift in truth?"
Yes" said Mary Wood.
And SO Anthony Riggs slipped the
little pearl ring on her finger.

A Local Story.

The Saturday Evening Post of
last week concluded a serial story,
entitled tom Morton-A Story of
the Hard Rock Miners" This is a
story of the building of the big Cas-
cade tunnel, and some of the old
timers of Wenatchee recognized sew
eral characters of the story. The
doctor is easily recognized as DR..
Tozier, one of the pioneers of Wen
atchee. There are other characters
in the story which local people be-
lieve they recognize. The story is a
strong one and was read by several
hundred Wenatchee people, many of
whom probably did not recognize it
as really being story of the Cas-
cade tunnel.
