but something checked her.
About a week later Elizabeth went to
Boston, and brought home little box of
handkerchiefs. She looked cold and weary.
"Your furs aren't very warm, Aunt
Elizabeth, Ellen remarked.

wiry girl. She pushed and propped and
pulled. All three emerged from the drift
and entered the house. Sarah and Eliza

room. The fire leaped on the hearth, giving
out shower of golden sparks.
"Good afternoon, said the Knox sisters.
"Good afternoon, said the Blair sisters.
They We're almost spent, poor, fragile
old ladies.

Ellen obeyed George followed her.

She did not omit what she had seen out in
the field that moonlight night.

voice "And thought it was the ragged

was opening the little wine locker in the

"Yes; heard them exclaim and run.

"Do you suppose we all saw the fog"
asked Ellen.
Call it we saw the fog, said George.
IN the sittingroom the four women sat
in a semicircc before the hearth fire.
Esther set her wine-glass on little table
near by, and her sister Catherine followed
her example. Then Esther spoke:
"We have just made the discovery.

stole a furtve glance at the other.

which has just arrived. They had erased
it; but it was still plain Then we knew"
"Then we knew" said Esther
Elizabeth and Sarah sat with eyes fixed
upon the fire.
Esther Blair spoke again. For years,
said she in her sweet voice, "we have had
from time to time mysterious boxes and
parcels. We never dreamed who sent
them. We should have been desperate
without these mysterious gifts We had
no income. We could not have paid the
interest on the mortgage; but, although
it was paid. Lawyer Bascom would not

sending things, and she did not know that

Then Elizabeth Knox stood up and
faced the others. She held her chin up
with IA grand air. She, the giver of gifts
that would have been spurned if not given
secretly, the invader of the pride of others,
revealed the only reason in the world that
could justify givers and receivers.
"We gave" stated Elizabeth Knox,
"becausc we loved you"

after Il slight hesitation.
Ellen had strong impression that her

and she wondered if her Aunt Elizabeth
shared that impression. To her amaze
mcnt, Elizabeth questioned no more She
suddenly flushed herself
The next afternoon Ellen noticed the
rXprcssman stop at the Blair house. She
was on the verge of cXclaiming, of telling
