but, most Of all. she taught

The holidays were drawing near and
Eleanore had little time for introspec-
tton. She was busy helping the chill
dren keep their Christmas secrets,
planning for the Christmas tree in the
church, making odds and ends to give
to friends. For tho time, she was al
most forgotten.
But when Christmas eve had come
and gone and she sat in the small con-
servatory of the rectory on Christmas
afternoon when the children, tired
from play, had gone to take an after
noon nap and the good rector with his
wife had gone and done likewise,
Eleanore began to have that lonely
feeling deep within her. She looked
out of doors where tiny snowfakes
were just beginning to blow here and
there as forerhnners of a glorious
Yuletide snowstorm.
Suddenly, as if to ward off the blues,
she sought her cloak and gloves. She
would go out in 1t if only because she
could!
Outside, she struck out briskly to-
ward the churchyard where the fir
trees were green. There was much Of
the yard that was made up of beauti-
full parkways with wonderful blue
spruce trees mingled with the old
fashioned green Christmas tree.
1t was toward these trees that she
walked and with every breath Of the
soft, moist air, she felt invigorated.
The caress of each tiny snowflake as it
touched her cheek was sweet to the
girl who loved nature.
Presently, ahead of her, she saw a
group of boys. They seemed to be look
ing up at a great green fir tree and
listening to a man who stood in their
midst.
Eleanore drew near. None of the lit
tie group had seen her as she walked
softly on the snow covered grass. The
man-her heart beat wildly-Was
George Davidson.
Suddenly, as if he felt her presence,
he turned. "You," he cried, "Eleanore."
Then, as if remembering the boys, he
said, "Boys, 1 want to Introduce you
all to Miss Marvelle. Perhaps she can
tell you more than I can about-Christ-
mas trees"
Eleanore acknowledged the introduce
ton to each bareheaded lad even while
her hand was still in the big warm one

The man broke of lamely.

asked, teasingly.

standing together.

People Who Have Suffered For Years

been using the Juice for severe liver
and stomach trouble in statement
just Issued says: Il am convinced
that the Root Juice is splendid
medicine and l can truthfully say it
has done more for me than anything
I have ever used. l suffered for
sometime from loss Of appetite, coat
ed tongue, bad taste in my mouth,
pains through my chest and shoul-
ders and nervousness all OF which
this treatment has relieved. l find
that Root Juice also is very effective

SUPPOSED |NCENO|ARY
FIRED ON BY WATCHMAN
ANNAPOLIS Saved From Prob
able Disaster by Timely
Discovery of Blaze.

ANNAPOLIS. February 13-Almost the
first real evidence that an incendiary has
been at work and Is responsible for the
chain of nearly dozen fires that have
occurred here since Christmas developed
yesterday morning, when,' about o'clock,
Albert Mitchell, employed as night
Waterman about Randall Court, a fash
ionable residence section in the heart Of
the city, fired his revolver at man
whom he say sinking about in the
bushes.
Just prior to this Mitchell discovered a
small blaze in the rear of the Victoria
building, on Maryland avenue and across
the street from the court. With the as
sstance Of W. e. Boyer. a photographer,
who has his studio on the ground floor
of the building, Mitchell extinguished
the blaze before it gained Roadway.

Waterman. In addition to Boyer's studio,
Moore's ice cream and confectionery par
lor is on the ground floor of the Vic
toria building, while the second floor
contains a dental and other offices.
An old fruit packing crate, which had
been partly filled with paper, small chips
of wood and other inf1ammable mate
rails, was used as to start the blaze. 1t
had been placed near q small frame
shed, used as a packing room, in the
rear Of Moores store.
Flames Quickly Extinguished.
AS soon as he discovered the flames
Mitchell ran across the street and arous-
ed Boyer, who has sleeping apartments
next to his studio. The two succeeded
in extinguishing the flames without turn
ing in an alarm.
Several minutes later Mitchell returned
to his beat in the court, and seeing a
man move about in the shrubbery, and
assuming that he might be the person
who had started the fire, he pulled out
his revolver and fired. The shot went
wild, and the man disappeared in the
darkness.
