man who stood at the side of Norton's
desk awaiting the reporters return.
Why, Jones'" cried the surprised
Norton. What are you doing all this

ly as he delivered a note to the re-
porter.
Anything %serious?"
Not that am aware of. Miss Flor

ed to be sure that the note reached
your hands safely"
"And do you mean to say that you
came away and left her alone in that
house?"
Again Jones smiled. 81 left her well
guarded, you may be sure of that. She
will v u away again" He wait
ed for Norton to read the note.
1t was nothing more than one of
those love orders to come and call at
once. And she had made Jones ven
ture into town with it! The reporter
smiled and put the note away tenderly.
And then he caught Jones smiling, too.
I'm going to marry her, Jones"
THAT remains to be seen," replied
the butler, not unkindly.
We'll, anyhow, thanks for bringing
the note. But I've got to disappoint
her tonight. I'm off in a deuce of a
hurry to interview General Hender-
son. I'll be out to tea tomorrow. You
can find your way out of this old fire
trap. By-by!"
The moment he turned away the
smile faded from Jones face, and with
the qutckness and n-oiselessness Of a
cat he reached the side of the booth in
which Gregg believed himself so Sc

in sight.
There was left for Jones nothing
else but to return home or follow
when he came out. As this night ne
knew Florence to be exceptionally well
guarded, both within and without the

any one again. Brainc gave MS or

unforeseen delay, nothing could pre-

When Norton arrived al the Hen

YOUR CHRISTMAS.

~state Press who in everyday iiie
is known as ]. J. Taylor, is a member
of the Dallas News staff and whiie
we are drawing upon his brains ior
mart of the mental pabulum which we
furnish our readers today, we see no
reason why we should not pass him
a little bouquet as a Christmas giit.
Mr.. Taylor writes some of the best
astnff,, appearing in any paper any
where and while he doesn't pose as
literary luminary Of the first magni-
tude. except in the quizzical way which
"state Press" assumes, our idea IS
that he officiates in the capacity OF
Maternal ancestor in the production
of much printed matter that ranks
with the best in the magazines
There is the bouquet and here is MT.
Taylor's Christmas suggestion:
III your Christmas is to be selfish
one 1t will not be a happy one. II
Won are to spend the anniversary OF
Jesus in eating and drinking, to the
exclusion Of higher thinking and softer
sentiments concerning the world and
worldlings, you will dishonor the
birthday of him you suppose yoursen
to revere as the son of God.
IF you pass the day in planning Tor
your success without regard to the
success OF others: if you bask in the
happiness Of your own little ones with
out regard to the little ones OF less
fortunate neighbors; if you glow upon
your own family circle and glover
upon family circles whose destitution
obtrudes upon your consciousness; II
you can not look into your own heart
and say it is uncalloused; if you can
not feel into your own purse and find
il depleted through some act of char
ity-if you can not press to your own
intimate personal soul some comfort
ing unction distilled Of good deeds
significant Of the blessed season-tnen
YOU will grossly misspend Gods natal
Gay.
aThose who would have Christmas
worthy of themselves, and those who
would have themselves worthy OF
Christmas, must put their souls en-
rapport with the sentiment surround

brates. In brief, if you, reader, would
rise to the spiritual opportunity vouch-
safed to you, let your eyes search out

stow needed and welcome largess.
