The strength of the Hartman lines

mo, no, 1 have no family MOI
friends" He admitted simply to this
kindly woman what had never passed
his lips before.
'Me, neither" she replied Got no
relations, and amt much of a hand
to make friends. Kinda lonesome,
times like this, amt it?" She was COW
ering over her basket carefully before
going out into the frosty air.
It was then that all the loneliness of
Hiram Barton's life seethed to the sur
face, as once before his youthful am
billions had done when he left the
farm. All his longings for understand
ing, and home and mate had been
dashed into an acute pain by the joys
Of the season around him. Perhaps it
was the cheap wine that had made him
a little giddy-perhaps 1t was the haze
OF cigar smoke that softened the plain
features of Rose-Anna,-but 1t seemed
to him that in her face was the fulfill
ment of these things.
II WISH" said Hiram Barton firmly,
IT wish that you would marry me To-
night Wouldn't be so lonely-and
we could have Christmas"

him out, behind the dusty palms. She
passed his table without stopping, and
I he felt oddly disappointed. Then IT
may have been the dreary droop of
his shoulders that she had noticed as
she went by him, that brought her
back. At any rate, she turned about
and came back to lay a little nosegay
on his table.
Barton's hand sought his pocket.
20, that's all right" he said hastily.
This amt no kind of a Christmas
Eve, is it? she added, her eyes sweep
ing the crowded room, and returning
to the limp scraps of holly on the tur-
key platter.
"It sure ain't," agreed Barton.
CT don't like to stick around here
the woman went on, as though she
might simply be thinking aloud "But
they amt much to cheer a body in a
cold little hall bedroom. Ought to be
candles and fresides and children on
Christmas Eve, oughtn't they?" She
looked down into Barton's pale eyes.
'They sure ought" he said heartily.
"Ain't you got anything-anything
like that?"

basket Of flowers on her arm. She
had been coming every night for
long time. Barton had scarcely ever
looked at her although sometimes
when she sought out his table he
bought little bouquet from her, and
taking 1t home put it in his tooth
brush mug where it frightened up his
room a bit until the landlady dumped
it out. Tonight there was something
about the woman that held his gaze.
Beneath her small, neat hat her brown
hair rippled back to tight knot at
the back Of her head. And her face
was the face of a woman who would
sit up far into the night to dress doll
or I'LL stocking.
Merry Christmas, Rose-Anna!"
Merry Christmas, Rose-Anna!" Rose
Anna as the habitues of Henry's called
her, responded quietly to the greet
ings. One maudlin celebrant asked
her to join him in toast to Christmas
Day. She smiled YEARLY and passed
on.
Barton wondered if she would seek

was revivifed to meet the spirit OF
joy about them Barton insisted upon
buying a little Christmas tree and all
the giittering appurtenances thereto,
He hung holly wreaths on his arms.
and stuffed his pockets with candies
and nuts and little articles that Rose
Annals eye had seemed to rest upon
admiringly.
I'D like to be buying you surprise
for tomorrow, Hiram" said Anna
timidly, eff you'll just go and leave me-
for a minute"
"And I've just been wondering how
was going to get surprise for you!"
cried Barton excitedly. So they sepa-
rated with great formality, to meet
again soon in the great crowd IF shop
pers with unconcealed delight that
their dream was not yet dissipated-
1t was very late when they finished
the decoration Of Barton's room. They
set up the Christmas tree on the table,
with its ink-spotted spread, between
the windows They hung one wreath
across the corner Of the furnished
frame Of the Death Of Lincoln" Anna
put her bridal bouquet In the wash
bowl in the hope that the wilted fow-
ers might revive, and rearranged the
furniture to her liking. The two sur
prise gifts they placed under the
boughs of the little tree to await the
light Of Christmas Day.
Barton glanced about the trans
formed room that was eloquent Of
Christmas cheeriness. His wife's hat
hung on hook beside his,-her worn
coat was thrown over the chair where
he was wont to sit alone at night.
It's home, Anna" he said brokenly.
Home, Hiram" she repeated thank
fully. A clock some where in the
house struck midnight. "And Merry
Christmas to you,"
"a Merry Christmas." he echoed
happily.

, Rose-Anna fingered the covering oil
her basket for a minute Then she
looked down into Barton's shy, anxious
face.
"P'rhaps I might" she said simply
The head waiter was ushering a
man to the only seat left unoccupied
in the cafe-the one opposite Barton,
there behind the palms. Barton arose
and put his coat on hurriedly.
Come" he said softly to Rose-Anna
And together they went out into the
festive street. Together they sought
the Office of the marriage license clerk.
They picked their way through the
throngs, speaking little to each other,
although occasionally Barton seized
the woman's arm as though he were
afraid she was a wrath Luck was
with them. The clerk was at his desk,
working late at some statistics he was
preparing for the coming year. He
made out license for Hiram Barton,
aged AZ, not married before, and Anna
Hagan, aged 43, also unmarried.
AS. later, they stood on the steps Of
the home of the justice of the peace
before entering, Barton took from
Rose-Anna's basket that he still car
ried, the little nosegays that remained
and tied them into one bouquet. From
his pocket he took bill and thrusting
it awkwardly into the center Of it
handed the bouquet to Anna.
"For-for the BRIDE" he stammered.
''And-and you won't need the basket
any more,-Anna," he added as he put
1t down in the corner Of the porch.
Rose-Anna had never dreamed that
such chivalry existed.
After they were married they set out
to buy bit Of Christmas cheer that
should brighten up Barton's plain
room. Gradually the constraint which
had seized them both gave way to a |
sense Of companionship. |
Gradually the spirit Of youth in them
