every one at Hilltop, as the manor
house was called, slept and dreamed,
the first snow Of the season came fall
Ing softly down, and when day dawned
pure white mantle covered the earth
Tor miles around. One person In par

delight. She had made two or three
circles of the house before she ap-

about last night, and left a thousand
tracks. Oh, mother, l wish you loved
to tramp about in the snow-and fall
down and roll over and get up-and
walk three or four miles-and shoot
rabbits and-and-be a Nimrod"
The widow Warden looked up at the
so-year-old daughter with an indulgent
smile and shook her head. There were
