OF lines established at Brunswick and
of the shorter distances through this

IF a line were established to San
Juan, Porto Rico, with fixed dates of
sailing, it would secure considerable
shares of business from interior cities
and if we We're prepared with a part
of the capital necessary they would
join us in stock in such line. One
line started and successful will induce
a number of other lines, as at Mobile.

LETTER TO TRADE BOARD
Believes That a Court Should Be
Established Here Including
Counties M sntioned in Bill
Soon to Be introduced.

Judge Emory Speer, of the United
States district court, believes that a
branch of that tribunal should he es-
tablished in Brunswick. and he SO eX-
pressed himself in "A letter received
yest terday by the Brunswick Board of
Trade. Judge Speer thinks that the
counties named in the bill should com
pose the circuit. but he differs with
the local board as to the time of hold
ing the court.
In this connection 1t can be stated
that the bill providing for the estab-
lishment of the branch here will be
introduced shortly by Congressman
Walker. The bill is now in his hands.

My Dear Sir:
'+Your letter of the lith ult was

which fringed the lawn stood stiffly
at attention like sentinels. A pale De-
cnmber sun lay like ghost upon the
grass.
But Miss Emmeline Barton, staring
i6ly 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 nistletoe were
scattered in vases and behind picture
frames about the room. Miss Emme-
line herself had but recently returned
from early morning service in the lit
tie church, tucked cozily away in the
churchyard.
But of the Christmas peace and
beauty there was no trace in Miss
Emmeline's heart. Instead, she no.
| ticed, with annoyance, as she stared
out of the window, that some of the
| shrubs wanted cutting and that one of
the gardeners had left pair of shears
on the ground.
How insistently the call of the bells
came. "Be happy! Be happy! Be
happy' they seemed to say as a
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 a
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 a summer wind
had blown a little pink into its 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 it into her lap. One
sealed, the other folded piece OF note
paper. Miss Emmeline picked up the
open letter without glancing at the
sealed one. In her heart she said cold
ly: "From his wife, I suppose"
"Dear Aunt Emmeline," her nephew
wrote, in his big sprawling handwrit-
ing, 81 expect you will be awfully wild
at my writing to you after your hay
ing told me you never wished to hear
from me again, but I am merely send
ing along the inclosed. And thought,
with the explanation about it, you
| might forgive a Christmas wish or two
slipping il as well.
'Here is the explanation. You know
Anne and are living now in your old
home. 1t is such a beautiful Old house,
by the way-Anne simply dotes on the
spindle-legged furniture in the draw
ing room, but L had to have some re-
pairs done. The roof leaked, Incl
dentally, and the dragons on the hall

paper made me feel like st. George
whenever I looked at them. The work
men were doing something to the let
ter box when they found the letter I
am sending you. You know what an
antediluvian affair the box was. One
of the panels was loose and the letter
in some amazing way had slipped be-
hind it. 1t looks bit yellow, and no
wonder, considering the time it must
have been there. Anne will persist
the address is in her fathers hand
writing, but I told her it is nonsense.
I don't believe you ever met the old
chap"
Miss Emmeline read no further. With
trembling hands she picked up the sec
ond letter. Two little spots 'flared 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
ing in a garden, spring garden, gold
en- with daffodils and sunshine and

stream ran bubbling at tie end of the
garden.
1T was just here he had taken her
into his arms and kissed her swiftly,
and Miss Emmeline's soul had drowned
In the kiss, as the shadows of the bud
ding trees overhead drowned in the
water of the stream. He had spoken
no word. There had been no time. In
terruption by others had followed inn
mediately on the kiss, but as they sep
arated he said to her: Tonight"
And the night had come, dressing
the April sky in pale stars, and Miss
Emmeline in satin and pearls. But
the man himself never came. She had
never seen or heard from him again.
Indirectly she learned from village Cos
sip that he had been called to town,
but from him there had come no mes
sage out of the void.
The days crept into months and
heightened into years, money came to
Miss Enmeline, and spacious house
and friends in plenty. 1t was only
love that had passed her by. The
eager, happy girl turned into the cold,
hard woman. One day, she learned
from an announcement in the papers
that he had married-years after
wards from the same source, that he
was dead. And only a few months be-
fore her nephew, the one human being
in the world upon whom she had law
ished what affection she had left in
her to give, had married the daugh-
ter Of the man who had won her heart
one spring day and thrown it away
as carelessly as he might have flung
away faded flower from his coat.
But had he? Was it possible that,
after all, they had been separated not
by his Indifference, but by some awful

mistake? Had fate interviewed, Pc
licemanlike, AID diverted the traffic of
their lives into separate turnings? Had
he-Miss Emmeline's breath caught in
her throat with queer little spasm-
really loved her, after all? A mist
loomed up before her as the envelope
fell away from the sheet. Then the
mist cleared and the sun danced mer-
rily upon it's shiny surface as she read:
''My Dearest: I have 10 right to
call you this yet, but | am hoping that
you will give me the right by return
mail, for am in town, Emmeline sud-
denly called there by most pressing
and urgent business. / had no time
to write and explain before | left yes
terday. l am afraid you must have
thought my absence in the evening
strange, but if you love me, dear, you
will forgive me. Love, you will find,
is mostly that-forgiveness But do
you love me, EElmeline? That is the
question | want above all others to
have answered. Had leisure would
write you words that, like faith could
remove mountains of opposition and
compel love, but this business presses
so hardly on me at the moment that
it is with difficulty have snatched the
time to write even these few words.
'But, whether or not you love me,
believe me that am ever your devoted
lover.
"Ralph."
The letter slipped from Miss Emme-
lines hand with Rttle rustling sound
as of protest as it met the stiff silk Of
her gown. EmmeliHe, White-haired,
sedately garbed, 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:
S"Barnes, I want this telegram sent
at once. Also please tell Mrs. Yates
that [ am expecting my nephew and
his wife at any moment, and that |
wish roolss to be prepared for them
Immediately"
When the man had left the room
again Miss Emmeline walked across
| to the long French window, and, srnil-
| 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 deep breath
as the bitter-sweet scent of the chrys-
anthemums came into the room on &
rush of cold air. It was good world
after all.
The Christmas peace stole into Miss
Emmelines 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
| q happy winter world.
