JUST THE THING FOR A GIFT.
Haskin's Great Book on the Canal
Would Be Acceptable.

The crusade to advance the time oe
Christmas shopping and prevent the
crushing terrors OF the days just before
Christmas that formerly hung like a pail
over the shopworkers of the country has
had remarkable success. People are do
ing their shopping early, and more OF
them would do it stin earlier except for
the fact that IL is sometimes difficult TO
make up ones mind just what TO give
that most difficult OF all persons-the man.
The boy. or the girl. or the woman
the suggestions for gifts to them are so
numerous that there is little difficulty.
But what shall one give to man? CT
gars. year after year? The idea is APP
palling.
No wonder that many shrewd women
have discovered that A good book is the
most acceptable and most appreciated OF
all presents that one may send to a man.
IL you have been having this difficulty

room by the baby. Mrs. Logan slept a
dreamless and refreshing sleep. The $50
train was whistling around the bend be-
fore she awoke. She looked around for
moment, scarcely remembering. The
bed. The youngest still slept beside her.
She washed her face, brushed her hair
and changed her dre.s before she went
downstairs. Everything was in order. A
good fire had been lighted and the kettle
sang merrily away on the stove. Mr..
Logan smiled as he came in.
Il jest about to wake you he
said. IAN L hated to do it. You slept
peaceful as the baby. Coffee's ground
an in the pot. The creams in the
pitcher. All you got to do is to cut

Mrs. Logan sang as she made ready
for the guests. She had not done that
for many q day. And she looked for
ward to their coming, as she had not
done to the arrival of her best friend
When Lon and Gertie arrived every
thing was in readiness, and the smell of
the fragrant coffee filled the room. 1t
was merrier meal than many "A finer

THE EVENING STORY.
THE $50 TRAIN.
Copyrighted, 1913, by W. Werner.)

Mr.. Logan stood at the window
anxiously watching for his wife. Her
absences were not frequent. 1t had
been surprise not to find her at home
when he returned; and it was with dis.
tinct relief that he espied her coming
toward the house. one baby on her arm
one clinging to her skirt and one to hel
hand. Another might have noticed thai
she walked wearily and that the baby
seemed heavy. Mr.. Logan did not notice
However, he went to meet her and took
the latest Logan readily enough.
"Landsv' said Mrs. Logan. Il didn''
know how tired 1 was. 1 believe II
rest a spell fore get supper"
They were turning in at the gate as
she spoke, and In loosening the catch
Mr.. Logan was spared answering. But
once inside he put the baby down on the
couch and turned to his wife. Il guess
right" he said. You can give the kids
any old thing an get them to bed
But

He nodded. Lon an his wife III

But what knd?"
'-The incest kind" he volunteered,
when he saw that she expected an
answer "Tll brighten up to see old Lon,
an Birtie, too, for that matter
Mrs. Logan did not answer him nor
glance toward him. Instead she picked
the heavy baby up. carried him upstairs,
and laid him on her own bed
She was as weary as the baby, as
anxious to get to sleep as he had been.
All she wanted was to get a bite of sup
per for her husband and the children
she didn't want any herself-and creep
into bed as quickly as possible. And
now the laundering. evil train was bring
ing the usual unlimited guests.
She didn't want to see them. She
and days and weeks. She wanted to lie
come fltering in through the lattice
work of green leaves. But with guests
in the house there was no earthly chance
of that She must arise earlier than
usual, COOK the nice breakfast that they
all expected and watch them hurry off
for the early train.
She sat on the bed by the baby think
ing It over, without even taking off her
hat 1t had been going on for a long
time-all summer, all of three summers.
In winter there came a lull. But she
could have borne it easier in the winter
than In the fierce summer heat. And
