"Int i. happy tmeT breathed Helena Is she whisked through thA
sitting room
The Widow Merton looked up with soft tender eyes. The Sewer
twins were sitting in her lap and nesting against her motherlg breast
"0h, Helena, I shall never forget this dayi" she sighed, I Want 10
adopt these children for my own"
"Why can't youq ~ returned Helena joyfuly. 3You couldn't ask fcz a
better Christmas gift, and the twins would be wonderfully blessed"
DR.. Langdon looked at Helena with kindly, quizdcal eyes.
"You wonderful womani Have you had time to think OF your oTn
happinessf he asked.
"This is my happinessr' returned Helena, with q wide gesture that
included the house and its occupants
Mr.. Atkins looked up from the stamps he was studying. DR.. Langdon
surprised a strange look on his quet, reserved face, a look that sent the
doctor into a brown study
DR.. Langdon insisted that MI. Atkins should carve the dinner turkey,
and that quiet bachelor grew quite pink in the operation.
Miss Riddel did not seem to miss the attentions of her skilled black
servants and MI. Wayne grew very joual and witty and told such funny
stories that he kept the table in a gale of laughter. Helena, sitting at
the head Of the table, looked from one happy face to another and was
.NHL happy herself.

need my party" decided Helena, growing enthusiastic as her Iss, of
guests increased. "This is to be a party for lonesome folks, and, judging
by the number here in Little River, it ought to be a large gathering, as
the city newspapers say when rich folks entertain"
"Its the funniest thing" she soliloquized as she wended her way
home when her errands were completed. "I never thought of a party
until the words popped right out of my mouth there in Mr.. Wayne's
house. I can't afford to give 'em much to eat, but they're welcome to
what there is, and I can earn some extra money some way or other to
make up for what victuals they'll eat. And a Christmas tree-welL I'll
get Ham Tenant to chop down that hemlock in the south lot. It can

nut tafy and hickory nuts and popcorn, and I guess my piece bag will
turn out silk scraps enough to make pin balls and penwipers for every
one. Good land, it is exciting to make a party for poor rich folkst'
When the Ladies' Aid society heard that Helena Modat was going to
give a Christmas party and that few of their members were to be invited
q wave Of virtuous indignation swept through the ranks. OTRDO
Seems to me Helena Mofats aiming to enter society at one jump,
only inviting the rich folks" sneered Mrs. Pinney. NAN-N
\ "There1s some rich folks she hasn't invited" defended Mrs. Potts.
eff you'll stop to think you'll find she's only asked folks whol haven't
any families to make Christmas for 'en. She's asked those little Seeyer
twins from the town farm You know they're the only children at the
farm, and 1 expect it is dull for them. Helenas thought all that out"
IT don't suppose she could ask everybody in town" admitted Mrs.
Pinney. "Her house is a tiny place, and I wonder if she'd be offended if
I had Darius send around a gallon of ice cream for the party?' Mr..
Pinney was proprietor of the ice cream parlors in Little River.

The days preceding Christmas few
by. For Helena Moffat they were filled
with happiness, for every moment was

ed from attic to cellar, although it was
usually immaculate. For days spicy
odors were waited through her kitchen
windows upon the frosty air. Cakes
and pies and cookies were baked; pans
of walnut taffy cooled to hardness |
the attic windows and were twisted
into waxed papers. Stores Of hickory
nuts and black walnuts were brought
forth and the rosiest of apples picked
out Of the barrels stored in the cellar.
Ham Tenant chopped down the lit
tie hemlock in the pasture and set it in
a tub in the middle of the parlor. Then
he brought great armfuls of trailing
ground pine and bittersweet and green
laurel, and the walls and windows were
decked with the cheerful green and
the red berries. =IB@

Public spirited men in Alaska, whether on the coast or in the interior, should lose no opportunity to empha- size the importance of establishing the interior terminal of the proposed Alas. railway at some point on the Yukon river. Emphasis on this broad and practical necessity cannot by any means be twieted into suspicion of sectionalism. The country to be served is too big and rich in resources and the river is too long for that. The thing to be avoided is a terminal that will not afford unobstructed facilities for all classes of water craft during the entire open season. A terminal on the Yukon will be a great benefit from the first and will soon become en absolute es- sential to the usefulness and prosper ity of the road. A clear understanding of these things in tbe beginning will save loss.-Ruby Rocord-Citizen.

Fairbanks and the Panama valley and the whole of the interior Alaske is very much in earnest about the holding of a fair upon the completion of the gov erument railroad in 1917. At a recent meeting articles of incorporation were ordered drawn, the aame of the corpo ration to be the "Aiaska Semi-Centen- nial Exposition Association," and the stock to be capitalized for one million dollars. Fairbanks people will sub- scribe liberally as a matter of course, and it is believed that at least s60O,O0O worth of the stock can be sold in the different cities of Alaska, since all of them will be benefited. It is expected the government will make a liberal donation.

Maple Sugar.

Time was when maple sugar could be
obtained for the qualification of the
humblest sweet tooth and maple sugar
can be obtained today, but one is often
overcome with the suspicion that it is
not what its name implies. There is a
fear that some less delectable and less
palate-thrilling sweet is masquerading as
the classic pioneer confection Of the
northern states. Many government re-
ports and other reports of an authorita-
tive character make it appear that this
fear is not without foundation; but that
there still stand some OF the trees which
yield the sap from which arboreal sugar
Is made is shown by recent news items
which tell Of the slaughter of maple trees
for various uses and also of the poor
flow of sap in those that are yet green
and growing. 1t is encouraging to know
that sugar maple trees still exist and
discouraginG to know that the slaughter
often hitherto complained Of and COM
mented on still continues. The destruc-
ton of the sugar maple groves or orchards
is saddcning to those persons who cherish
the flavor of the sweet output of this
tree There seems to have been very
little effort toward the conservation of
the sugar maple, but as this sugar in
creases in price there may be discussion
Of the feasibility of planting and cult
v. ing maple sugar orchards.

The Shad Season.

AS the oyster season passes the shad
season brings its blessings. The Star has
announced that shad and herring are
about to make their appearance in the
Chesapeake bay in good quantities and
that fishermen are hopeful that within
the next few days they will be coming
up the Potomac The shad has come
tardy on this spring. He is somewhat be-
hind his schedule, but the weather has
been against him. BY many Of his friends
he is considered a more conservative and
a more conscientious harbinger of spring
than the robin. The shad takes no
chances on harebacks. A few examples
of the shad have been in the market for
some time, but they came not from near
by waters. The shad season in Washing
ton divides honor and popularity with the
strawberry season, the cherry season, the
peach season. the sweet corn season and
the watermelon season. The beefsteak
cannot hold the center Of the stage
throughout the year.

New Colored High School Building

Closely following the action of the SEN
ate in favorinG substantial appropriation
for continuing the work on the new Cen
trail High School building, and for the
purchase of a site for the new Eastern
High School, comes the news that the
work of constructing a new high school
building for coored pupils will probably
be begun next fall. Congress, last July,
having appropriated $4,000 toward the
construction of this building, the author
lied cost of which is to be S55O,OOO, the
announcement is now made that the plans
for the proposed structure are practically
complete.
The pressing need for a new building
the statement that the structure now In
use was built to accommodate 45O pupils;
that its present enrolment is more than
500. and that libraries, study halls and
other rooms have been pressed into serv-
ice as classrooms, though designed for
other purposes. The efficiency of this
school has suffered somewhat for long
time because of its crowded condition.
The plans for the new building show a
provision of space for 1, 400 pupils. nearly
double the present enrolment of the
school. This appears to be looking well
into the future, but the building will not
be completed before the spring of 1915
and the school population of Washington
is increasing rapidly. With the facilities
and attractions of the new high school
buildings, a marked increase in the high
school enrolment may be looked for
