"She never told me just what he
said, but it was enough to make her
throw you over You would never
come back and she was too proud to
write"
Where is Stella now, mother?"
asked the man.
"She lives in the old place by the
creek. Charlie, you remember it
with all the apple trees behind the
house?'
Well did the man remember the
orchard where he had spent the au-
tumn evening with his sweetheart.
That evening found Stearns walk
ing toward the creek. I wonder how
the old place looks he thought.
There was the oId-fashioned house,
the porch with the long steps. Every
thing was as if the old days were still
there.
A figure moved about in the parlor.
He knew well where the parlor was.
He heard the organ. 1t was Stella's
favorite air. He paused and his eyes
filled with tears as he heard that
voice again.
Slowly he assembled the steps and
pulled the bell. The playing stopped
and he heard footsteps. The door
opened and the light of the hall
streamed upon his face.
1t was evident that the woman fail
ed to recognize him, for she looked
askance as he spoke.
us this Stella Harrington" he be-
gan, but the sound of his voice made
her start.
Charles Stearns, have you come
back?" she gasped, and followed him
into the room.
$50, Stella, you are keeping house
alone now! You-you have not chang
ed very much, either" he said earn
estly.
He saw that her once golden tresses
were streaked with gray, yet much Of
the youthful beauty remained and he
found his heart quickening as he
gazed at the woman.
"And you are the great banker they
would have us believe-little Charlie
Stearns, who used to he my tease at
SCHOOL,"
Neither had touched on the subject
which seemed to be in the minds Of
both. At last the man could remain
silent no longer.
Stella. my mother has just told me
why you changed your mind so many
years ago. Why did you not tell me
them" he asked.
Because I was too proud. When
found that he had lied, it was too late.

YuIetide in Australia.

In striking contrast to our own is
the Christmas Day kept by our kins-
folk in Australasia. No snow or blaz-
ing log; no holly or mistletoe; only a
bright sky. green trees. parched grass,
and blazing sun. Christmas is so
inseparably associated by us with a
cosy seat in front of roaring fire
that we can hardly realize eating our
Christmas dinner on a veranda be-
meath brilliantly blue sky, with ev-
cry Towering plant in full bloom. But,
down yonder." picnics and garden par
ties are the order of the day. Many
a delightful excursion into the country
is arranged by the Melbourne, Sydney,
Adelaide, and other townspeople, and
Christmas Day is kept right merrily,
far into the summer night.

You had left home and no one knew
where. I thought if you had really
cared you would have come back, +"
said Stella.
"And have come back, my girl.
Just what brought me here this Christ
mas I cannot realize, but 1 know am
glad to be back
"And your parents-how happy they
must be to have you with them again, .
she said. s'Now, they can enjoy Christ
mas in the old way-just you three
together"
''Stella, you are all alone. Won't you
come to our house for dinner to-mor-
row? Let us celebrate in a modern
way, and it will make the old folks SO
happy"
only the old foIks-?" she began.
but the big man silenced her as he
grasped her hands and said:
Stella, I ask you what you refused
me so many years ago. Will you be
my wife? You are alone in the world
and I want you"
Charles, it is not out Of pity you
ask me this?" she questioned.
mo, dear girl, it is because my
heart has been hungry for something
all these years, and I did not realize
until now that it was you I needed"
It was indeed a modern Christmas
celebration at the old home. The par
ents turned away as they saw the
younger pair under the mistletoe, so
aptly hung by the thoughtful mother.

BUILDS LARGEST. OF NESTS
Jungle Fowl Of Australia Constructs q
Substantial Mound About FIJI
teen Feet High.

The Jungle fowl of Australia Is the
bird that builds the largest and most
substantial Of all nests. 1t seeks out
a secluded spot and then begins the
work that will keep 1t busy for a.
stretch of weeks, according to natural
lists who have studied the bird Of Aus
tralia. 1t gathers leaves, grass, twigs
and dozens of othsr materials. weav.
ing them together so skillfully as to
construct a mound that is qualified to
withstand any stress of weather.
The bird tolls away until its mounc
is about Is feet high, the circumfer
ence at the base being often $50 feet
At the apex the nest is made, and
from this perch the bird is able to
see the approach of any one of its jun
gle foes In time to take defensive
measures.
The bush turkey of Australia ais.
adopts similar methods in building
its nest, although the foundation Is
not so large. Instead Of making a
moundlike base. the turkey constructs
m in the shape Of a pyramid. Natu
ralists say that IL takes the combined
strength Of several men to move one
Of these big nests.
