graves as long gray envelope slipped
from the pile of letters through which
ne was glanclng.
He tore it open eagerly and drew
out card on which was a water-color
sketch OF woman's head. The faint
est odor of apple blossoms chung to
the Interesting trifie.
Graves studied 1t intently. It was the
nrth he had received that week. Be-
ginning Monday morning, one had ar
rived each day in the first pile of mail
Drought to his desk. When the first
one came he had been but slightly con-
cerned. The second made him curious,
and the third had aroused a deep de-
sire to learn their source The face
appealed to him, rousing vaguely some
dormant and disconnected memories
Of his youth.
Opening a drawer In his desk, he
took out the ones he had received
earlier in the week. Spreading the
cards in a row, he made them the OBJ
5ects Of his most attentive considera-
ton. The same face was sketched ON
all, but each represented a different
expression and pose. No word Of any
kind accompanied them.
He settled back in his chair and sat
in quiet thought for some moments.
The perfume rising to him recalled the

Many Holidays in December.

December, taking the world over, Is
a month of bank and public holidays.
No less than 20 Of the 81 days of the
month are recognized somewhere as
occasions for church fetes or cessa-
ton of business in celebration Of To-
cal or national events.
Christmas, Of course, is more wide
ly observed as a holiday than any 9TH
err, but even it Is not recognized every
where. Non-Christian peoples pay no
attention to 1t, and in countries where
the Greek Catholic church prevails,
the old style Julian calendar Is used,
so that, while Christmas is observed
as a church festival, 1t comes about
two weeks later than in countries that
use the Gregorian calendar.

The Ombu Tree.

The ombu tree. on the South Amerl-
can pampas, says w. III. Hudson in
Far Away and Long Ago, is q very
singular tree, indeed, and being the
only representative Of tree vegetation
natural to the soil. on these level
plains, and having also many curious
superstitions connected with II, ii is n
romance in itself 1t belongs to the
rare Pbytolacca family, and has an i'm
mense girth-forty or fifty feet in some
cases at the same time the wood is so
soft and spongy that it can be cut into
with a knifey and is utterly unfit for
firewood. for when cut it refuses to
dry, but simply rots away like a ripe
watermelon.

suddenly stopped as his eyes noted the
gray envelope the boy carried. where
did you get thatT he demanded.
Lady outside, sir, sent II In"
"A lady! Send her in at once"
He opened the envelope the boy
handed him. The same face was on
the card 1t enclosed, but somehow the
expression was almost triumphant.
AS he studied 1t the caller entered,
and he started to his feet. He stared,
but justifiably, for there was the lady
or the cards, and the scent of apple
blossoms was filling the room. She
was tall and slender, and wore gown
Of silvery gray. There was a touch Of
pink about 1t that matched the bloom
of her cheeks.
"You have come" he said simply. 81
felt that you must"
"Then the advertisement was sue
cessful? A momentary CLEAN Of
mirth sparkled in the brown eyes.
"The advertisement? oh, the gray
envelopes-the cards? What do they
mean? But be seated, please. I am
rude" He was plainly bewildered.
81 am an artist, Mr. Graves. have
attempted to see you before, but you
were never at leisure, so I adopted
the card method Of getting you ac-
quainted with my work. l hoped /
might secure an interview that way"
"You are wonderfully clever" he
said slowly. in undisguised admiration.
"You have gained your purpose. 1
shall be glad to give you commits
sion."
The lady in gray said nothing, but
her smile took him back to the days
Of his boyhood.
81 want some landscapes, not in Oil,
but in your charming water colors. l
want them to embody certain things"
And In a softened voice he described
his old home, the apple orchard and
the spring by the roadside. II do not
expect them to be absolutely true to
life as it was then. But 1t was my
childhood home. Let your work be a
type. Do with them as you like.
Somehow I feel sure you can make
exactly what I want"
"Thank you, Mr.. Graves. shall not
disappoint YOU" And she was gone
before he realized that he did not
know her name or place of residence.
The next month was Unfortunately
long. There was no word from his
artist, nor could he learn one thing
oh ka~ Trc fhnnuh hA-
sieged with inquiries, refused an an
swer.
At last, one day, another gray en-
velope came In the mail, and the hands
that opened 1t trembled In their eager
ness. Another card was in II, this time
Of little girl of fourteen, with big
brown eyes and waving hair. With a
throb he recognized her as the little
playmate of his early days who had
always been with him in the orchard.
Just beneath the picture was writ
ten, "Call at II Grey terrace"
Exactly thirty minutes later Andrew
Graves was ringing the bell at IL Grey
terrace. No one was In the room
where he was shown to wait, but, hung
against one wall were half a dozen
daintily executed sketches Of his old
farm home, clear and true as the hand
of mortal could make.
Hungrily he gazed at them, and
then turned to find the artist at his
side. without a word he took her In
his arms and kissed her. She made
M effort m reIpo go herself
"Maris, know you now! My little
girl sweetheart! My sweetheart for
ever! Will you come to me when the
apple blossoms are here again"
And she said that she would.

early days Of his boyhoOd. the hap
piest Of which we're spent in the old
orchard at springtime. when the trees
were laden with the fragrant pink and
white blossoms. And always the lady
of the cards seemed to be with him,
romping with the group of children
who were his companions.
His usually disciplined mind revolt
ed from Its training many times
throughout the day, and the hour of
closing found him porting over the mys-
ferrous pictures once again.
He finally glanced toward the win
dow and the evidence Of coming twi-
light swept away his dreams and re-
minded him Of things to be done be-
fore he could keep q dinner engage
ment that night. He reluctantly arose,
replaced the cards In the envelopes
and laid them carefully away in the
drawer, then hurriedly left the. office.
Throughout the evening he had a
sense Of disappointment. 1t was as IL
he had been very near q pleasant dis
covery and had been suddenly drawn
back.
Before he left his hostess said: 81
had hoped to have you meet an artist
this evening, Mr.. Graves. She Is an
unusually clever woman. At the last
moment she was detained"
Andrew Graves frowned.
perhaps am fortunate, Mrs. Bow
ers. Really, since my new home is in
process Of building. I've been pestered
at all times Of the day and night by
artists who want to do the decorations
for that American room Of mine. I've
taken to refusing to see any of them.
I'll look up my own" and he turned
abruptly away.
AS his car was speeding homeward
there flashed into his mind an idea,
preposterous, perhaps, but insistent. 1t
connected the cards In the gray en-
velopes with the artist who had failed
to appear. He leaned forward, half
yielding to an impulse to go back and
demand her name from Mrs. Bowers.
Then he decided to go on home, secret
ly ashamed Of himself for allowing his
head to be turned by pretty picture.
But the idea remained and kept first
place in his thoughts, with the result
that Saturday morning found him at
his desk full hour earlier than he
had been for years. Impatiently he
ran over his letters. No gray EN-
velope was there! He was chagrined.
To have gone so far out of his usual
routine as to get down at that hour
and then be fooled He looked his
mail over again, but with the same
result.
The morning was full Of trouble for
all the force of employees. Moth ng
suited, and Tommy, the Office boy,
dropped his jaunty bearing whenever
he carried a card to his employer.
The tenth caller had been turned
away despite the urgency of his err
rand. Tommy once more entered the
sanctum. Graves looked up angrily.
Didn't tell you," he began, but
