Indirectly she learned from village Cos

But Miss Emmeline Barton, staring
idly out of the window, had no eye for
the beauty Of it all. Because it was
Christmas day, she was dressed in law
ender silk and her mothers rings
Sparkled coldly upon her fingers. The
orthodox holly and mistletOe were
scattered in vases and behind picture

beauty there was no trace in Miss

friendly wind carried their message
far and wide. With an impatient
movement Miss Emmeline turned from
the window. AS she did so her glance
fell on the morning mail, lying, as was
customary awaiting her attention in
neat pile on her desk.
A disdainful smile curved her lips
as her long thin fingers turned over
the envelope. Then suddenly her face
changed. 1t was as if summer wind
had blown little pink into it's cold
ness-for a moment only. The old
frosty look came back into her face
as she ripped open the envelope. Two
letters fell from 1t into her lap. One
sealed, the other a folded piece of note
paper. Miss Emmeline picked up the
open letter without glancing at the
sealed one. In her heart she said cold

TWILIGHT of the Gods.

At the base of the vast structure 50
patiently reared by Herbert Spencer
the mists are already dense, though
not as Obscuring as the clouds at the
mausoleum of COmte. That great
charmIess woman, George Eliot, smiles
the smile of SOmber ennui before the
Spencer tomb, and the invisible voice
of Ernest Haeckel is heard whisper

brate god? Surely there is sadly re-
quired in the cynical universities OF

antediluvian affair the box was. One
of the panels was loose and the letter

wonder, considering the time it must

the address is in her fathers hand

I don't believe you ever met the old

Miss Emmeline read no further. With
trembling hands she picked up the Sec
ond letter. Two little spots f1ared sud-
denly in her cheeks as she stared at
the envelope. Yes, it was the hand
writing of the man she loved that
stared back at her. She had not cried
for years, but now she felt the sharp
sting of tears behind her eyelids. The
brassy clang of bells turned suddenly
into the droning of bees. She was walk

her throat with queer little spasm-
really loved her, after all? A mist
doomed up before her as the envelope
fell away from the sheet. Then the
mist cleared and the sun danced mer-
rily upon its shiny surface as she read {:

call you this yet, but l am hoping that

The letter slipped from Miss Emme-
lines hand with little rustling sound
as of protest as it met the stiff silk of
her gown. Emmeline, white-haired,
Sedately CARRIED, as she was, was in
the arms of her lover. What matter If
the man who wrote these magic words
were dead, and that it was Christmas
instead of spring? At last she need
be ashamed Of her love no longer, she
could bring it forth, a thing of joy,
into the sunshine of her thoughts. He
had returned her love. He had want
ed her. She had been the desire of his
youth.
Miss Emmeline rose proudly from
her chair. She trailed her skirt across
the room with the air of a queen.
When the butler answered her ring, she
spoke imperiously:
Barnes, 1 want this telegram sent
at once. Also please tell Mrs. Yates
that I am expecting my nephew and
his wife at any moment, and that I
wish rooms to be prepared for them
immediately"
When the man had left the room
again Miss Emmeline walked across
to the long French window, and, smil-
ing happily, threw it open. She was
anxious now to hear the bells. All the
bitterness of many years had melted
from her heart, as snow melts in the
sun. She could meet Walters wife
now without hate, nay with eagerness,
Walters wife, who might have been
her own child. She drew a deep breath
as the bitter-sweet scent of the chrys-
anthemums came into the room on b
rush of cold air. It was a good world
after all.
The Christmas peace stole into Miss
Emmeline's heart as she looked upon
the whiteness of the hills. The bells
still rang loudly, for it was Christmas
day and the Christ child walked about
a happy winter world.
