that do?" she smiled. Then, as Jones
was discontentedly lounging about the
door, she did a pretty thing. Turn
ing from the door, she stood with face
averted from everybody except Van
Camp. and for an instant her eyes met
his in a friendly, half-humorous but
wholly non-committal glance. His
ewes held hers in a look that was like
an embrace.

quietly.
Van Camp said goodnight to Jones

Goodnight, Van Camp" said Jones;

you'd go along Anything else to do?"
Enthusiastically; but I'm going
on a cruise"
AS Aleck entered the piously exclu-
sive hall OF the club his good nature
came to his aid. He wondered wheth-
err he hadn't scored something, after
all.

MT. van camp never gave me any
kind of flower. He thinks flowers are
! the most intimate of all gifts, and
should only be exchanged between
sweethearts. At least, heard him ex-
pound some such theory years ago,
when we first knew him."
Madame smiled-a significant smile,
if any one had been looking. Nothing
further was said until Melanie unex-
pectedly shot straight to the mark
with
Glow do you think he would do,
Auntie, in place of Count Lorenzo?"
Madame Reynier showed no sur
prise. 'He is a sterling man; but your
cousin would never consent to it."
"And if l should not consult my
cousin?"
"My dear Melanie, that would en-
tail many embarrassing consequences;
and embarrassments are worse than
crimes"
Melanie could laugh at that, and
did. 1--WE already answered note
from Mr.. Van Camp this morning,
Auntie. No, don't worry" she play
fully answered a sudden anxious look

nance, 1--WE not said yes to him. But
he's coming to see me at twelve. If |
don't give him a chance to say what
he has to say, he'll take one anywhere.
He's capable of proposing on the
street-cars. Besides. have something
also to say to him."
"Well, my dear, you know best; GER
tainly / think you know BEST" was
| Madame Reynier's last word.
Mr.. Van Camp arrived on the stroke
of twelve, an expression OF happiness
on his lean, quizzical face.
I'm supposed to be starting on a
cruise" he told Melanie, "but luck
| is with me. My cousin hasn't turned
up-or rather he turned up only to
disappear instantly. Otherwise he
would have dragged me off to catch
the first ebb-tide. with me hanging
back like an anchor-chain."
"Is your cousin. then. such a ty-
rant?"
"Oh. yes; he's masterful man. is
Jimmy"
"And how did he disappear instant
ly?' It sounds mysterious"
at is mysterious. but Jim can take
care of himself; at least. hope he
can. The message said he had sailed
on the Jeanne Dare. whatever that
is, and that was to look after our
hired yacht, the Sea Gull"
Melanie looked up, startled. "The
Jeanne Dare. was it?" she cried
Are you sure? But. OF course-there
must be many boats by that name, are
there not? But did he say nothing
more-where he was going, and why
he changed his plans?"
mo, not a word more than that
Why? Do you know of a boat named
the Jeanne D'Arc?"
"Yes, very well; but 1t can not mat

rather than to incur his enmity? Aft
er all. he is your next of kin, the head
of your family, and a very powerful
man. If we are going home at all, We
ought to go now"
But suppose we should decide not
to go home at all?"
"You will have to go some time, dear
child. You are all alone, except for
me, and in the nature of things you
can't have me always Now that you
are young, you think it an easy thing
to break away from the ties of blood
and birth; but believe me. it isn't
easy. You. with your nature, could
never do it. The call of the land is
strong, and the time will come when
you will long to go home, long to go
back to the land where your father
led his soldiers, and where your moth
er was admired and loved"
Madame Reynier paused and watch
ed her niece, who with eyes cast
down, was toying with with her spoon.
Suddenly a crimson flush rose and
spread over Melanie's cheeks and fore
head and neck, and when she looked
| up into Madame Reyniers face, she
was gazing through unshed tears.
She rose quickly came round to the
older womans chair and kissed her
cheek affectionately.
Dear Auntie, you are very good to
me. and patient, too. It's all true,
suppose; but the prospect of home
and Count Lorenzo together-ah,
Welt" she smiled reassuringly and
again caressed Madame Reyniers
gaunt old face. 'I'll think it all over,
Auntie dear"
Madame Reynier followed Melanie
into her sittingroom, bringing the
precious orchids in her two hands
fearful lest the fragile vase should
fall. Melanie regarded them a mo-
ment, and then said she thought they
would do better in the drawing-room
81 sometimes think the little garden
pink quite as pretty as an orchid"
"They aren't SO much in Mr.. Lloyd
Jones style as these" replied Madame
Reynier. She had a faculty Of com
menting pleasantly without the least
hint of criticism. This remark de
lighted Melanie.
"No should never picture Mr.
Lloyd-Jones as a garden pink. But

quent he was about the hills and the
stars. That speech did not at all in

CHRls TMAs GIFTS.

The buying of Christmas gifts has be- come the great financial strain of the year. In the tumble and scramble of the shops we forget the real sweet, sacred, meaning of the season. It is a common idea that Christmas gift, to express proper feelings, must be re- pectable, and this is regarded as synonymous with costly. The average Christmas giftinvolves an expense that the giver can not well afford, for the sake of something the recipient does not want. So Christmas gifts, the tender est token saved to us from Paradise, have come to be without meaning ex- cept as mere cold barter and exchange, in which both parties lose much and gain little New York Times.
