As a result, Mr.. Browns placard,

weather Of this week has facilitated
the removal OF the notices, and hum

through a bona fde inspection and
lost their placards must go through
another one, with a like chance OF
their being stolen.

to learn, DalZiel made due preparation
for having a royal good time with the
family. If Dalziel had only known it,
clever, friendly Mrs. Powers had pur-
Dosely invited Miss Moore to the
house to once more meet him-and
Portia was willing! 1t was only few
weeks before Christmas that Portia
had learned Of fatal error she had
committed. She had so coldly dis
missed Dalziel because Of a story told
by jealous friend. 1t involved Dal-
Ziel in an escapade of which he could
never have been guilty, but the false
story was so we'll formulated and car
ried conviction. Then, at a late day
the truth of the motive came out. Por-
tia Moore felt ashamed and humili-
ated, sense of her deep injustice to
Dalziel, a sorrOwful belief that her
folly had cost her a love worth the
having.

Christmas tree, DEAR" Mrs. Powers had
advised, but Portia shook her head for

hour of the evening assisting Mrs.
Powers with the arrangement Of the
festal table, and entered the library
on her way to the parlors after Dal-
ziel had reused up all hands with the
frolic and jollity for which he was fr-
nous. She half turned to steady her.

ziel saw her. but did not at once recog-

him.
"That looks like mistletoe on the
library chandelier, Dalziel," he whis-
pered 'Pretty girl Great chance. Do
yourself proud" and Dalziel eXuberant-
ly darted forward.
He clasped his arms about the lady
in the half shadowed room, and i'm
printed gentle kiss upon her lips.
"How dared yOu!" cried Portia.
"And it isn't mistletOe at all, just a
piece of green paper trimming. l say,
Dalziel, you've done it noww shouted
Powers gleefuly.

the two alone, and diverted the atten-

fancy of the assembled guests"
"Now, see here, Powers" interrupt
ed Ernest Dalziel, I'm modest, un-
assuming man and verging on to an
old bachelorhood where sense and dig
nifty usually become a well-balanced
person."
Ernest Dalziel would have liked
to have asked Powers an important
question. 1t would have been, if ut
tered: "And Miss Portia Moore? l
haven't seen her for year. Does she
still go to parties?" And Powers
would have answered: "Oh, we
couldn't get along without Portia."
And then Dalziel would have sought
some plausible excuse to prevent his
own appearance on the scene.
He was sensitive about Miss POrtia
Moore. She was, like himself, past
thirty For some months in the years
past those two had been in consider
able evidence at social functions, and
the gossipers predicted an engagement.
1t did not come about, however. Alb
ruptly the two persons apparently so
adapted to one another drifted apart.
TO Dalziel this unexpected ending to
the one lovely day dream of his ex-
istence had come as a seemingly heart
less, cruel blow. Effectively Miss
Moore, one day had shut heart and
home against him. There was no ex-
cuse or explanation given.
''She had just tired Of me. 1 don't
wonder. Pm not much" Dalziel solilo-
quized to himself in a fit of depression.
For a time he threw himself in the
way of the lady in question, but she
gave him no encouragement Dafziel
did not go about wearing his heart on
his sleeve, but he did not quickly get
over the hurt of an incident that made
him wary and suspicious of woman's
caprices.

But when the beggar's thirst
was quenched there appeared an
other and another, until the water
was gone. Them Lot threw him
self down, buried his face in the
sand and wept. When at length
he raised his head, an angel stood
near him.
"Why do you weep" he asked.
And Lot told him.
"Be not alarmed" answered the
heavenly visitant. obedience is
acceptable, in the sight of God
but charity is even more so. You
served Him in succoring His poor.
Henceforth as your reward, the
trees shall thrive without water.
Your penance is over"
Thus it came about that the
cypress tree grew without the aid
Of Lot. And when one of them
was old and mighty, the Gross of
Christ was made from it; that He,
the legend runs, "who died for
, His love of mankind, might suffer
on the tree which was blessed by
the grace of charity"

A LEGEND OF THE CROSS

Lot had escaped from Sodom
when there appeared to him an
angel holding three cypress cut
tings in his hand.
PLANT these" said the angel,
and if they live and grow, your
great sin shall be pardoned. If
they die, you shall be punished as
you deserve. The water with
which you refresh them must be
from the River Jordan, and must
be brought fresh every day"
Here was a hard task, but Lot
did not question it's justice. Every
morning he made a journey to the
sacred river, bringing back the
water for his precious trees
which grew and f1ourished amaz.
ingly.
One morning, as he was return
ing to Hebron, beggar met hin
by the roadside and asked him fol
a drink of water.
II can give him a little," musee
Lot, land then have enough fol
my trees"
