I she had regained her sanity, Margaret
Wesley looked again at that picture in
her hand-looked, and felt quick con-
traction of the throat. a sudden piercing
sting upon her eyeballs. And down upon
the picture dropped tear.
Calista. on the other side of the door,
was saying to herself:
She was going to cry. Her eyes were
teary. 1t was Jasper's picture she was
trying to hide And then, chiIdlike, in
spite other surprise the gathering forces
OF her sympathy were completely over
whelmed by the demands of Christmas.
And why not? After all, Calista's mind
was too youthful to be deeply concerned
about lovers quarrels and broken en-
gagements and such things And she had
made such marvellous purchases.
Indeed. as they lay spread out on the
bed it did seem as If only genius, or
a little girl. could have reached such
decisions. There was q really lovely box
of handkerchiefs, embelIished with the
pinkest of pink paper. for mother. That
gift had put a tremendous hole in her
pocketbook. And a pair of suspenders
for daddy. These two presentsSwe the
first purchased, and while Calista still
held the leash on her fancy. Afterward,
let the sad truth be revealed at once
Cbut then Calista was such a little girl,
how could she be expected to prove big
ger minded and stronger than grown
upSD, she succumbed to thte intoxication
OF giittering, cleaning, glowingly dis
played wares.
For brother Jin-that nice green tie"
Caiista hummed softly to herself-a tune
improvised fer ther occasion. For sis
Ter Nell-that story book. I hope she
reads 1t all to me. sAnd baby boy can
have that rattle. Uncle Fred that nice
glass pitcher" She paused and added
soto voce: 81 got it in the beautiful
Ten Cent store. And he's going to be
married. so he can use It," Then the
song went on
And Auntie Madge that box of soap.-
That was from the Ten Cent store also;
but then each cake was done up in
shiny red paper. and there were three
cakes in box. And sister Kate a |
string of beads" Once more the song
reverted to everyday speech: Maybe
she'll lend them to me once in a while
cause gave them to her"
And sister Margaret Calista paused |
aghast. The one thing that had not been
apportioned was a tiny set of dishes
also from that beautiful Ten Cent store.
She looked over the gifts Some were
already wrapped, for all the while she |
sang her nimble fingers had been busy. |
But her genius solved the problem. !

strange SUPERSTITIONS IN ARCTIC

BILE to freeze a mans whole face by rub
bing II with snow which was brought In
from out of doors when the temperature
was anything below minus forty degrees
+. The whole secret Of dealing with
frost bites is to keep your hands warm,
and, when the weather Is severe. to run
your hand over your face every few min
utes to see IL any part OF II be frozen.
Usually you can also keep yourself
fairly well informed Of the condition oe
your face by continually wrinkling II and
making faces" II a spot OF skin on
your cheek or chin the size OF a Scent
piece becomes stiff you can always detect
1t by making grimace- Then all YOU
have to do is to take your warm hand
out OF your mItten and press IL on the
frozen spot for a moment until the white
ness and stiffness are gone.
In the very coolest of weather our
method Of taking care Of the facs In a
little different, however. When q man
is properly dressed for winter his coat
is loose fitting one, with the sleeves
cut SO that any time he likes he can pull
his arm out OF the sleeve and carry his
hand on his naked breast, inside his coat
The neck of a coat Is made loose, ana
whenever any part Of his face refuses to
wrinkle up he pushes his hand up through
the loose fitting neck OF the coat and
presses it for moment on the stifened
portion Of the face. So soon as the
stiffened portion is thawed out he pulls
his hand in upon his breast again.
One more thing Is essential to keep
the face from freezing; 1t must always
be. clean shaven. For II you wear .
beard the moisture OF your breath con-
geals on 1t and makes for you a facs
mask that is separated by an air space
a quarter of an inch or so from the
skin of your face.
There is no art in keeping your hands
and feet from freezing-it Is merely q
matter of dress. The footwear is the
more important for IL your mittens are
cold you can take them on entirely, pull
your arms inside your coat and thus keep
warm. unless. OF course, you have some
work with the hands to do. in which case
the hands will have to be exposed. with

of caribou skin sock with the fur

rs long as Calistas money held out
she went gaIly about her Christmas shop
ping. When she found that her tiny
purse was empty, she stopped buying
wherein she showed greater wisdom than
many growIi-ups-and with a soul replete
with satisfaction she left the store
I've got pretty much most everything.
1 guess she said to herself, hugging
her bundles close as she tripped along
the country streets. But I'll know for
sure when 1 get home"
And when she reached home the very
first thing she did was to array the
gorgeous gifts upon the white spread OF
her little bed. Christmas was two days
away. Therefore 1t was imperative that
she begin that very moment to put them
in order. Then like an embodied cyclone
she burst into her eldest sisters room,
intent upon tissue paper and seals and
all the other necessities for making
beautiful Christmas bundles.
What .Calista saw there made her
freeze in her tracks, as if the high
wind Of Destiny, which had borne her
thus far. had suddenly become a dead
Margaret, was standing with frightened
lips that twitched and quivered. In
her hand, which hastily dropped to her
side, but not before Calista had seen,
was clutched a photograph. An the
whispered words on her lips repeated
themselves over and over in Calista's
mind. while amazement held her dumb.
1T grows worse, the ache-worse as
the days go by" Not until Calista
had interpreted the meaning of those
words did she find her voice; then she
said blandly:
u came for Tn wrapping up my
Christmas bundles" Seeing what she
wanted lying on Margaret's desk. she
went for them.
Meanwhile, a brave control touched
the quivering lips of the elder girl She
was indeed fortunate, she thought, that
1t was only Calista who had discovered
her momentary alteration. For that
was what il was. How could it be
anything else? What girl with any
pride would allow herself to- No,
she hadn't cried! The man did not
live who could make her weep for him.
Youth return what you don't need.

The gift and the letter was done up and
duly delivered the next morning. Amid
the stress of holding preparations Calista
did not experience the necessity of being
secretive. She walked up to the Hem
ingway's door, little girl bursting with
the seasons joy, and said to Jasper's
mother:
"Its-it's my Christmas present to Jas
per! No reason-is there?-why / shouldn't
give my dear Jasper one?" And with a
shy little laughing nod she scampered Of
And then the wheels of Fate spun
round and round, having been given a
very vigorous start by Calista-
Christmas morning dswned clear and
white-bound. The drifting cloud banks

settled with feathery lightness on the
earth, had made OF Calista's world a
beautiful amphitheater. snow-muffled to
an echo, wherein sleigh bells tinkled
merrily and Joyous voices rang glad

And perfect II proved to Calista.
Calista was steeped in bliss But not

Margaret added nothing to prolons this
conversation, and apparently Calista was
too intent upon going her own way In
thought to continue ii perforce, for Sd
lence fell between them.
And 1t was into this silence that the
telephone tore vehemently.

And before Margaret could utter a word
Of protest she had the receiver. Then
assuming an important air OF grown-up-
ness she attended to the affair in hand.

Meanwhile, a white face waited at

insistent tide Of human emotion surging
about her, as she held the receiver to-

Margaret put out q hand. 1t was a
