vently he recalled the merry hours
with the brood of little Dalrymples,
and one incident that had tinged his
whole career, when he and Ivy were
alone trimming the Christmas tree.
She wore rose colored, broad ribbon
belt, and he was steadying her On a
stool. AS she was adjusting some tin
sci its perfumed ends swept his face.
With an impulse he could not anaIyze
Evans put out one hand, seized the
bit Of finery and pressed 1t to his
lips.
"Be careful" he muttered quickly,
for Ivy had nearly lost her balance.
She had witnessed the feryent gesture
Of Evans in the mirror. She stepped
to the floor, her face crimson, her eyes
showing half fright and breathless
with emotion. In intense tones he
whispered:
II am thinking of leaving Weston,
but If you .care for me" and then
Mrs. Dalrymple abruptly entered the
room and Evans had no further op-
portunity Of seeing Ivy alone. The
next day a position with the circus
was offered and he gave heed to the
call of ambition.
His eyes glowed now, and there was
rapt smile on his face as he took
up a pencil and filled in a telegraph
blank. 1t was to Mrs. Dalrymple. 1t

BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS
Eastern Penitentiaries Have Teams
That Put UP Good Exhibitions
of the National Game, ~

Many prisons and penltentiaries have
baseball teams composed of inmates,
and the national sport has done much
to revive the health and spirits Of
prisoners. These baseball teams are
uniformed and play regular schedule
of games, but Of necessity these games
are always played on the prison home
grounds.
One Of the best known prison teams
is that Of Sing Sing. 1t is known as
the Mutual Welfare league team, and
last season it won more than 96 per
cent of games played with visiting
mines. The prison baseball field has
splendidly graded surface, and there
are bleachers for spectators. The team
plays Saturday and Sunday after
moons. Visiting teams come from New
Jersey and Connecticut. The prison
team has won from some of the best
semi-professional mines in these states.

"Goodp nodded Evans briskly. "I'll
have to start for Weston early, but
people will suppose | am giving, them
an advance advertising stunt. Some
class to my scheme, eh?"
"You are always original" comment
ed the old circus man.
One of the favorite stunts" of Ross
Evans had been to make his advance
route with the high single-seated
buggy and a pair Of the circus REIN
deers. He was proud of his team.
II was a 20-mile drive to Weston.
Late in the afternoon. arrayed In
Santa Claus costume, Evans started ON
bis trip. Mrs. Dalrymple had the lit
file ones posted at the windows, and
the Christmas tree was lighted. AT
the sound of sleigh bells she switched
on the outside electric light. Into the
yard roadway came the most rayishing
" delightful Kriss Kringle with his
wonderful RENDERS bedecked and daz-
zlfng with cleaning tinsel and holly.
1t was like dream. those ensuing
two hours. And Ivy assisted. and II
seemed like a paradise to the wanderer
to revel amidst such joyous friendli-
ness. And when the little ones had
gone to bed, as on that other Christ
mas eve, he stood beside Ivy.
q am going to tell you what my
heart longed TO impart to you just two
years ago tonight" he said.
"Wait." she fiuttered. II can guess,
for had hoped" and she fitted from
the room. IT was TO return wearing
the rose-colored sash.
He knew 1t was his answer as she
hid her bIushing face. AS he drew her
20 his arms a peal of merry Christmas
bells echoed forth. And amid the joy
and glamor and love Of that radiant
hour. neither saw the shadow Of an
other parting.

on each succeeding visit it pleased him
to note the change for the better In
the child. Her devotion to her teach
er was something pathetic. This was
the period when Judson Marsh
changed his course of life. A time too
when the merest passing word with
Miss Revere seemed to cause him to
lift his head higher, and the influence
of a worthy resolve was noticeable
in his bronzed, impressive face.
1t was about a month before Christ
mas when the settlement was visited
by Marsh on horseback. There was
something about him that reminded Of
his old time briskness and forcible,
imperative ways. In turn he visited
twenty Of the leading men and pre-
sented to each his proposition. Time
was when anything Marsh suggested
was carried out from motives of policy.
In the present instance he found will
ing auditors, interested and sympa-
thetic.
Its about a Christmas present for
Miss Revere" said Marsh. 81 IN
derstand she is a proficient musician,
and there isn't a piano in the place.
She has been royalty good TO all of our
children, little Madeline among them.
I'll head the subscription list"
Sand who'll pick out the instru-
ment?" one of the town committee
men asked.
"0h, I'll go to the city and attend
to that. You can trust me- boys"
answered Marsh readily. II was
something of a player myself years
ago. Now then, this is to be a secret
until Christmas"
That was agreed upon. Also it was
arranged so that on Christmas Eve
the scholars gave a concert in honor
of their devoted teacher. The piano
had been struggled into the home at
dusk while she was at the schoolhouse.
She came home alone, as it was
planned that she should, She noticed

E~N during the brief space Of a
EH9%\ year and Cedar Grove mar
= yelled. Marsh had usually
b made the holidays a wild,
Rats rt0tOus occasion Of revelry,
5S such as shooting up the
town." distributing time and
money squanderingly in games Of
chance, indulging In a fist fight daily,
generally maintaining a terrOrizing In
fuence. Always had he disdained the
gentle cheer Of Christmas and the
good pledges of New Years, but this
especial Yuletlde period he had re-
manned quietly on his Sanch, had do
mated freely to charts, and only his
eagle eye had fiasheSS Rnd his lips
became stern and firm &%some derlsive
pal of the past sneeringty tntimated
that he had reformed and had taken
"the goody, goody PLEDGE"
No one could trace the cause of the
remarkable alteration In manner and
deed except Marsh himself and he
was close mouthed man. Perhaps
Gladys Revere suspected, but If so
she said nothing. She had come to
the crude, wild settlement to teach
school.
The Marsh ranch was ten miles from
the settlement and there was no school
in its immediate vicinity. It's owner
was a young man not over twenty-five
years of age, but he maintained quite
an establishment. His widowed sister
had lived with him until she died,
leaving q shy, puny little girl, Made
line, who was idolized by Marsh.
81 have come to see you about my
little niece, Miss Revere" spoke
Marsh, and his face and manner did
not belle what she had heard of his
being a well educated member of
prominent Eastern family. "She is
lonesome where we live; never has
any young companions. l have heard
of your kindly care for these little
ones. Won't you find her a good
boarding place in the town and sort Of
look after herr"
"She shall be as an own sister"
replied Miss Revere spontaneously.
taking the shy, reticent child in
tender embrace, and the result was
that little Madeline became an occu.
pant of the home where Miss Revere
boarded.

pass half an hour with Madeline. Up
