that does not mean that the state

are too long for women, no matter
whether they are in the higher profess

DR.. Cabot stated that woman's

to stand as much hardship as man.

who, seated In the sleigh, holds the red
lines. are piled the choice gifts, those
that mt Into small packages. such as
jewelry and money. The boxes are
opened before breakfast is served, and
the Christmas tree festivities come
later in the morning.
A pretty custom observed by several
musical families is for the entire house
hold to come downstairs together early
in the morning singing carols.
In some homes the celebration begins
on Christmas eve. At country place
near New York the custom is to have
a small tree hung with joke gifts In the
center Of the dining room table. Piled
about the tree is the collection of sub
stantial worth while remembrances.
After the latter have been distributed
the family and house guests adjourn to
the main room, which is hung with
garlands Of holly and mistletoe. Then
the Yule log is brought In and laid on
the andirons Of the big fireplace. The
lights from the blaze and from numer-
GUS candles furnish the only illumina-
ton. While the gifts are taken from
the miniature tree and the attached
sentiments read the health Of Santa
Claus Is drunk.

secured position as a teacher and
settled down to the work Of instruct
ing children. Horace visited her occa-
sionally. When two persons desire to
marry and are prevented by obstacles
In most cases either the obstacles are
removed or they marry In spite Of
them. Naturally both Mary and Hor-
ace looked forward to a day when
they would be able to marry with a
fair prospect of providing the neces-
saries required, but the prospect was
not encouraging.
One evening Horace called on Mary
and seemed very much aggrieved. He
said that the transaction on account of
which his father had been unjustly
disgraced was turning out to be i'm.
mensely profitable. Mr.. Drummond
was entitled to one-half Of the pro-
ceeds, but there was no prospect Of
his ever being indicated, to say moth
Ing Of reaping his legitimate profits.
"Just think" said Horace ruefully,
had it not been for the rascality Of
old Haskins you and could now be
married and living in clover"
What was the nature Of the trans
action?' Mary asked.
1T was a patent right. The patent
was offered to the firm of Drummond
& Haskins by the inventor. My IA
ther approved Of It, but Haskins de-
clared that he would never put money
into patent right. Father was In
formed by the inventor that another
party had agreed TO furnish the money
needed for introduction and develop
nent. Hasklns was away at the time.
Father assumed the responsibility of
buying the right for the firm. When
Haskins returned he claimed that ia
Their had used the firms money for
his own individual purposes, which
was embezzlement. Father had taken
the preliminary steps in his own name.
but had made the contract In the name
Of the firm In duplicate, one copy for
the firm, the other for the inventor
Haskins got hold of the preliminary
agreement and the contract. He with
held the latter and produced the for
mer, which alone laid father liable
criminally."
"What became Of the contract drawn
for the inventorY asked Mary.
"He died while the trouble was first
preached. Father asked his widow for
1t, but she fell under the influence Of
Haskins or probably was offered an
inducement to withhold 1t. Fathers
lawyer got out q search warrant to
look for 1t, but the woman must have
been warned, because all her hus-
bands papers had been removed from
the house."
1t seems to me-" said Mary thought
fully, that my father had something
to do with that matter"
your father and mine being cousins
and very fond Of each other, it is
quite likely. Father has told me that
your father learned where the papers
had been hidden and got possession Of
them, but he did so illegally and was
obliged to hide them to avoid being
prosecuted criminally. 1t was intend
ed that when he could do so in safety
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1916-12-22

they would be produced. But when
the time came they were not I'm the
hiding place where he had put them.
He believed that some one In Mrs.
Budlong's interest had stolen them"
"Eudlongw said Mary. II have Sec.
or heard that name somewhere
Possibly you heard your father
mention 1t when talking of this mat
ter"
During the rest of HOrace's visit
Mary could not get the name Budlons
out Of her head. She went to bed
that night trying TO remember when
and where she had known It. So in
tent ON 1t was she that she remained
awake till she heard the deep tones of
town clock strike the hour Of mid
night; then suddenly she remembered
the Budlong papers.
Throwing off the covers. she jumped
out of bed.
Mary had packed trunk Of odds
and ends that she did not care to part
with and had carried them away with
her when she left her home. Having
now but one room, this trunk and the
one used for her clothing were kept In
it. Lighting a lamp, she opened the
trunk first named and, getting out the
bundle Of papers, opened 1t and spread
the contents on the table. BY O'Clock
she had opened and read many papers
A few minutes after ! she opened one
which proved to be contract for the
sale OF certain patent rights to the
firm Of Haskins & Drummond.
Mary went back to bed, but not to
sleep. She could hardly wait for day
to come. so eager was she to carry the
news to Horace that she had found
the missing contract.
The next morning Horace Drummond
was awakened by maid, who inform
ed him that Miss Hartwell was below
and wished TO see him on a very i'm
portant matter. He arose. made
hasty toilet and went down to the
living room. There stood Mary with
beaming eyes holding out to him a
paper. AS soon as he had read enough
Of 1t to realize what it was he sprang
forward, clasped her In his arms and
covered her face with kisses.
1t was some time before Horace
could bring himself to a condition OF
quiet to listen to the story of the Bud
long papers. Indeed, he only received
at the time meager account, so eager
was he to carry the news to his Ia
Their.
How the papers came to be I'm the
box In the garnet, whether Mr.. Hart
well placed them there and forgot hav-
ing done so or whether some member
Of his family. having come upon them,
tossed them into the box, mot knowing
what they were. was never explained.
Haskins was prosecuted by Drum
mond for conspiracy, but the charge
was withdrawn in settlement of the
ownership Of the patent right, three
quarters Of which went to Drummond.
Horace and Mary were married, and
the grOom's father settled fortune on
his son and his sons wife Jointly.
Mary says that case of father-in-law
Is by no means to be dreaded.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1916-12-22

That night before going to sleep she
fell to thinking Of these papers. They
reminded her of the ongoing of all
things. There had been some one OF
the name Of Budlong whose existence
and daily doings were represented by
these accommodating records. Budlong,
whoever he was, doubtless In due time
passed away, the evidences of his ex-
istence were transferred from a desk
In usesand finally found a resting place
In the bottom Of a box In a garnet
and covered with wornout bedclothing.
Truly tombstone Is not the only re-
hinder Of one who has lived and
moved, earned and spent money on the
face Of the earth.
The next day Mary turned over the
contents Of the garnet to a dealer in
secondhand furniture and carried the
old papers down to the furnace for
burning. She was about to throw the
Budlong papers into the roaripg flames
when she paused. Somehow she had
lot the heart to incinerate the remains
<f the individuals busy existence.
Laying the bundle aside, she threw in
the other papers, then took It upstairs
and put 1t on shelf in a closet among
articles the disposition Of which she
had not decided upon.
Mary had a second cousin, Horace
Drummond, who had manifested a
fancy for her. Indeed, he had sound
ed her on the possibility Of their join
Ing the current Of their lives and fight
Ing the battle Of life together But
Drummond had nothing but meagcr
salary and Mary had already expert
enced a foretaste Of poverty, and, re-
Numbering that marriage means a
multiplication Of articles necessary to
comfortable existence, she blocked her
relatives way to a proposal.
There was another reason why such
a union would not be advisable. Ed
gar Drummond, Horace's father, was
a broken down man of business over
whose record hung cloud. What that
cloud was Mary did not know, though
she did know that the elder Drum

ed to enable him to gain a fresh start.
Horace had been given to understand
that the swindle had been on the other
side-that the partner had ruined his
father in order to secure the whole In 4.
stead Of half the profit OH very valn-
able purchase the firm had made.
Horace Drummond, having father
to support. was certainly not In po-
sitioa to marry. He did not know,
however, what deprivation his being
unable to do so was to Mary. He was
not only acceptable to her personally.
but she did not take kindly to living
single life and earning her daily
bread. Horace was willing to accept
the responsibilities that would accrue
to him. but Mary gave him to under.

THE BUDLONG
PAPERS
They Contained Valuable
Documents
BY ETHEL HOLMES

Mary Hartwell was twenty years old
when her mother died. Her father had
died several years before, leaving a
business much tangled. 1t had not
been settled, and Mrs. Hartwell had
not received any regular income from
1t since her husbands death, though
she had been paid from time to time
small sums to keep her from absolute
want.
After her mothers death Mary pro-
posed to accept the situation Of q
woman doomed to work for her living
and began by closing out the remnants
Of former times. She and her mother
had remained In their home. Now
Mary proposed to leave 1t, and the first
thing to be done In preparation was
to clear out family belongings that had
accumulated for years.
Mary went to the attic and looked
about her at the confusion and profu-
sion of miscellaneous articles. There
were discarded furniture, pictures,
empty picture frames, rugs, tenders
and irons-indeed, every conceivable
article. There were boxes and trunks,
some empty, some half filed, some full.
The sight was discouraging, but Mary
resolutely went to work to separate
the whole into groups to be disposed
Of in different ways.
In one Of the boxes she found some
old bedding, consisting Of blankets and
pillows. She removed them and was
thinking that she had emptied the box
when, feeling In the bottom, her hand
touched a bundle wrapped in paper.
Taking it out, she shook off the dust
and revealed written on the wrapper,
"Budlong Papers"
She had never heard Of any one by
the name Of Budlong, nor had she seen
a handwriting like that in which the
Endorsement was written. She I'M
wrapped the cover and revealed a num-
Der of yellow papers. She opened and
glanced at several Of them, which
turned out to be reeeipted bills. There
was also that part Of checkbooks which
comprised the stubs Of checks, lot
Of accounts current and some legal
documents.
Mary concluded that the papers per-
tanned to the affairs of some one by
the name Of Budlong and that their
value had long since passed away. Re-
wrapping them, she tossed the bundle
on to pile Of papers meant for burn
Ing.

Some Christmas
Celebrations
TN many homes the same customs

I'm many homes the same customs
are followed year after year at
Christmas. Thus In one home
where there are always visitors
Tor the holidays an enormous square
wicker hamper which has done service

Is brought from the storeroom and
placed In the general hall. Festive hol-
ly wreaths are tied to the handles and
to the top with big red bows, giving 1t
decidedly holiday appearance. As
gifts arrive they go at once into the
hamper. On Christmas morning after
breakfast the father Of the family
opens the hamper and with fitting cere-
mony and humorous remarks distrib-
utes the gifts.

Several years ago the young daughter
OF another family established a little
custom which is still carried out each
Christmas eve. On large red placards,
hung with red ribbons, she writes with
phosphorus the names Of the different
members Of the family. These she

card hangs over the piano, on which
her gifts are to be laid. Over the
library table is suspended the fathers
card. designating his allotted space. The
