In n few moments Polly was asleep
and the ray OF the street lamp fell
across her quiet little hand.
Polly slept on Christmas morning
later than any other child in the great
CITY and when her father, who had
risen before she had awakened, passed
the Christmas mantel he saw the big
black stocking where she had left It
AS he had helped to hang up the other
stockings the night before this one
seemed so strange to him that he look
ed into its contents. The very hrsc
thing he found was letter:

stocking with all the toys which It
contained and hid it where Polly Will

and astonishment marred the classic

tone:

Last October at the State Ed.
ucational Association meeting
in Bismarck, we had DR.. Gilles
engaged for q lecture. In the
morning of the day the lecture
was to occur. 1 received a tele.
gram from him saying that he
could not come, and Mr.. Har-
'is, who lives in Bismarck, was
recommended ss one able to
till the place. We engaged him,
and that same evcving he gave
US a lecture on the subject IA

trated by nearly a hundred
slides, that was one of the fin
est things 1 have ever heard. I
then told Mr.. Harris that I
wanted him to come to Wahpe-
ton and give us either that or
one of his other lectures at
some time.
Mr.. Harris goes abroad every
two or three years as conductor
of tourist parties, and 1 can as.
sure the Wahpeton public that
they will have a rare treat if
they attend this lecture. Mr..
Harris is both instructive and
entertaining and am getting
him here because I want the
Wahpeton people to have this
opportunity, especially the
yeung pe,ple.
My total expense in getting
him here will be $500 and
every dollar that is taken in be-
yond that sum will be given to
the Boy Scouts. The price of
admission will be twenty-five
cents, and the Scouts may be
around to sell you a ticket. IF
they are, buy with the full as.

Judge wearily. "Who." he added.
"would have the courage to marry a
girl whose father was publicly dis
gracedY"
Both relapsed into another long ST.
lence, each mentally reviewing the
past aud speculating ON the future.
Suddenly Mrs. Rossmore started. Sure
~ she could not be mistaken! No, the
changing Of locomotive bell was
plainly audible. The train was in.
From the direction of the station came
people with parcels and hand bags
and presently there was heard the well
come sound Of carriage wheels crunch
ing over the stones. A moment later
they saw coming round the bend in
the road cab piled up with small
baggage.
"Here they are! Here they arew
cried Mrs. Rossmore. "Come. Eu-
doxia!" she called to the servant, while
she herself hurried down to the gate.
The Judge, fully as agitated as her.

different way. remained OH the porch,
pale and anxious.
The cab stopped at the curb, and
Stott alighted, first helping out Mrs.
