swing, a heavy step on the floor, and
a voice-oh! such familiar voice
calling Betty.
"Jim! My Jim!" she answered, as
she pulled open the door of her bed
room and sprang into the arms OF a
strong, bronzed sailor.
, Far into the night she listened to
Jim's tale Of shipwreck on the Pata-
gonian coast, of the months and years
of practical captivity before he could
get back to a seaport.

The bright eyes Of Betty Green
were wet with tears as she opened
the oven door to raise the pie to a
higher shelf. Ever since Jim Busby
failed to return in time for the we'd
ding which Betty had 80 carefully
prepared for four years ago-a we'd
ding which was to be the pig event
of the Christmas season at South
Cove-she had had lonesome life.
Two months after the Christmas
that was to have been Betty's we'd
ding day her aged father had been
carried to the village cemetery, leav-
ing her alone in the world. With no
other relatives, and with no friends
except those at South Cove Betty re-
manned in the little fishing town in
which she had been born nearly twen-
ty-seven years ago.
With the baking finished, Betty lett
the kitchen and went into her bed
room. She wanted nothing SO much
as to be alone in that room that had
been her fathers-in that room where
she kept carefully preserved the we'd
ding clothes she had lavished so much,
care upon four years ago. These
clothes and the faded photograph OF
dim Busby on her bureau were all
that were left her of her romance
With these she would spend her
Christmas eve, would live over again
the counting days. And Jim should be
there with her. That would be her
christmas.
With care she took each garment
from it's wrappings in the bureau
drawer and spread them on the bed.

Sarah Glover had helped her make

Jim would like her to do that; he had

her from the spirit world tonight.

four years ago came

the color in her
cheeks; it was like a
