 What Jean
 Found Her Christmas Gift By ESTHER VANDEYEER
By ESTHER vANDEvEER

It was Christmas eve, and Jean LOT ing stood in the library looking out be- tween the holly Wreaths at the snow drifting against the front steps with every gust Of bitter wind. The arc light on the corner turned the flying flakes to black and yellow dots that made her eyes ache. Jean turned away and let the silken draperies GOV CT the window.
 She was very lonely in spite of many friends. She had no real home ties now. Her black gown bespoke the laying away to rest Of the last of her loved ones, her father, the one who had objected to her marriage with Denton King. the artist. Well. she had given him up, and Denton had married Maud Ridley. her dearest friend, and they had disappeared from New York
 'I must go out; 1t Is stihing in here" !" she muttered. and. hssteuing upstairs.
The daily Alaskan., 1914-02-02

AlLEE tue CulIOIEl udu DGGu put IO bed in the nursery. which was sacred to Jeans own childhood and had al- ways been preserved in its original state, Maud King faced Jean in the luxurious warmth of the blue room. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her thin hands trembled.
 "Jean. dear, you would not let me say a word all this while" she said firmly. "but now I must tell you of things. Denton was successful for awhile, but he drank. and matters went from bad to worse. He borrow ed from father without my knowledge, and-well, father In a it of anger changed his will and left everything to Benjamin and then before he could re- pent of his injustice father was strick- en and died. I had nothing and you know what my brother is-a spend thrift, Be gave me nothing, and he has wasted bis inheritance. Denton drank more than ever after that and 1t killed him. I've tried to support the children, with the result you have wit nessedr' She threw out her hand with a despairing sob.
 "Your home Is here. Maud" whisper ed Jean. taking her in her arms. T need a sister: I need little loving hands; I need your love and the love of your children. Will you stay and be my Christmas glft?'
 And Maud's lips on her own was Jeans answer.
The daily Alaskan., 1914-02-02

MAUD, MAUD IS IT REALLY YOU ?" she buttoned herself into a warm fur cloak and pinned a fur trimmed hat on her brown hair.
 "I am going out, Mary. You need not sit up for me" she said to her maid as she swept down the stairs.
 Around the nearest corner, through the brilliantly lighted avenue, among the Christmas shoppers streaming up town, evading the motorcars that snorted through the snow that by morning would be impossible, through another crUss street, and on sud on until all at once she found herself in a different neighborhOod. an avenue as thlckly populated as that other high way of wealth and fashion, but the shoppers here were of another class.
 The women did not scorn to carry home a basket of groceries among the other Christmas purchases, and many a man carried a turkey or 8 chicken, duck or maybe a plain loin of pork for the Christmas dinner. Many others carried smaller bundles, the best that their means might afford. and still oth- CTS. and of these there was pitifully large number. carried nothing.
 Men turned and looked at the richly gowned woman standing there on the corner. She wore no jewels, but there wss hint of wealth in the soft furs and in the elegance Of Der figure She did not belong here.
