Three days before Christmas Mrs.

upstairs to the attic. gliding swiftly
past the open sitting room door and
narrowly escaping a collision with
her husband in the upper hallway.

A gay winter house party was as
sembled in the country home Of Ed
ward Giddings. A couple Of dozen
young people spent their time there
during the day, some sleighing- for
there was snow on the grouRd-some
skating. while others in the house
were fitting before the great open
fireplaces, Of which there were sew
eral. In the evening there was bridge
whist and Ave hundred" and dancing.
There were three young persons
present whose relations were natural
" somewhat strained-George Chace.
Edna billiard and Sarah Tucker.
Chace had been engaged to Sarah
Tucker, but had broken with her to
engage himself to Edna billiard. Miss
Tucker did not appear to be much
troubled over her jilting and was car
rying on a mild affair with Evan Walk
er. Some Of our party-for ! was a
guest-thought 1t was George who had
been Tilted instead of Sarah. At any
rate, OF the three concerned in the
transition from one girl to another. he
seemed the most uneasy. l had known
him from boyhood, he often having
carried my books for me to and from
school, and had shown me other at
tentions Edna billiard knew slight
ly and thought very well Of her. As
to Sarah Tucker I disliked her.
1t seemed to me that George was
between two fires. He was just one
Of those fellows to get into trouble
with girls and very likely to make a
misalliance-good natured, impulsive
reckless. There had been times when
I could have drawn a proposal from
him, but was not sure but that he
would be sorry the next day for what
he had done. Nevertheless despite his
faults, admit that was very fond
Of him.
One evening we were playing romp
ing game in the drawing room-blind
mans buff-and one of the girls. Cecile
Stanford, who was blindfolded, caught
George Chace. and the handkerchief
was transferred from her eyes to his

flame, Sarah Tucker, was capering
about In front of him, occasionally, by
sounds permitting him to know her To-
cation. In this way he followed her
or she drew him-I didn't know which
into corner formed by a projecting
fireplace, where for moment they dis
appeared from our view. Sarah was
caught. and they reappeared, George
pulling the handkerchief from his eyes
While Sarah was blindfolded Cecile
Stanford noticed that her watch that
had been clasped to her corsage was
missing. The game was stopped. and
we all proceeded to hunt for the lost
timepiece. 1t was not found. Giddings
looked very much put out. He shut
the doors and said:

was on his mind. But he controlled its
repression so successfully that alone
noticed it. When he arose from the
table he announced that he would like
to see us all in the drawing room. Aft
er we had assembled there he said:
"a great injustice has been done to
George Chace. The stolen watch has
come to light under circumstances TO
indicate that he was made the victim
Of conspiracy. l need not accuse the
real culprit, who is my guest, to ex-
onerate Chace.'
Then he went to Cecile and handed
her her watch.
When l met George he threw his
arms around me in his impulsive way,
saying:
"What dolt I've been to get mixed
up with either Of those girls! You're
worth thousand Of them"
forgave him.

his shame and falling off we learn the
need of thoughtful prayer. The faith
or Of that splendid knight, Sir Philip
Sidney, urged him when he first went
prayer. The boy obeyed, with the re-
suit that his life became that OF a
Christian soldier and stainless gentle
man. whom all men honored.
Prayer is very serious matter. Our
souls can have no life in them unless

more should we do this before we go
into the presence chamber Of Almighty
God.
