had always been celebrated with moon

Now in many childish hearts large
dreams were brewing Eager antici-

ored young fir tree which was to bear
fruitage of gifts and lights had been
singled out and marked to the ak. Anse
Havey and Juanita had explored the
woods together, bent on it's selection.

Milt was there at college and would
be returning about the same time, so
the mountain girl secretly wrote him
Of her coming. And even facing SO
grave a crisis, Anse Havey thought of
that tree and hoped that Luke would
not come back before Christmas.
That night, while he was sitting
with Juanita and the fire was flashing
on her cheeks, he said modify: I'm

She looked UP in establishment.

Anse babe his men be ready to rise
In instant response to his call, and
they made ready to obey.
One day Juanita Holland and Dawn
set out for Lexington to do their
Christmas shopping.
Anse Havey rode with them across
to Peril and waved his hat in farewell
as they stood in the vestibule Of the
rickety passenger coach. 1t was very
shabby car of worn and faded plush,
but to Dawn it seemed fairy chariot.
AS they entered the lobby OF the
Phoenix hotel, in Lexington, tall
youth rose from a chair and came for
ward. If the boy was cruder and dark
er and less trim in appearance than
his Blue-Grass brethren, he carried his
head as high and walked as independ-
emily. He came forward with his hat
in his hand and said: 'T'm mighty glad
ter see we, Dawn"
The girl looked about the place. and
breathed rather than asked: isn't the
world wonderful, Milt?"
Two days followed through which
Dawn passed in transports of delight.
There were the undreamed sights Of
shop-windows decked for the holiday
season, and the crowds on the streets,
and the gayety and merriment of
Christmas everywhere. She had never
heard so much laughter before, and
she found it infectious, and laughed,
too.
At last she found herself again in a
faded plush car beside Juanita, with
Young Milt sitting opposite. Old Milt
was on that train, too, but he paused
only to nod before disappearing into
the shabbier smoking compartment,
where he had business to discuss. A
man was waiting for him in there
whom old acquaintance might have
passed by without recognition. 1t was
the hope of Milt McBriar that when
thew left the train at Peril, any ac-
ouaintances who might be about would
do just this.
While the Christmas shoppers
laughed in the day coach, Luke Thix-
tou received final instructions in the
empty smoker.
He was to pass as swiftly and I'M
obtrusively as possible through Peril
and go direct across the ridge.
He and Milt would leave the train
without conversation or anything to
marx them as companions. After that
Iuke knew what he was to do. and no
further conference would be necessary.
II was noon when the train rumbled
again over the trestie near the town.
and all morning a steady. feathery
