Darlon regarded Alice Brill with
more than ordinary interest. He had
heard the girl and her father in the
next house discussing their neighbOr.
1t seems that the father of Alice had
sold some store property in the town
for over four thousand dollars, repre-
senting about all he had in the world
He had hidden it In his bedroom.
Brill awoke next morning to find his
little fortune gone.
Darlon worked sturdily at sidewalk
and garden paths and had pretty near
ly completed his task when Alice came
out on the rear step.
Il wonder if 1t would be too much
to ask you to get the ladder and climb
up to the kitchen roof and push off
the massed snow there"

the request He was pushing the last
shovel of snow over the cave trOughs

Mr.. Brill and his beautiful daughter.
What more natural than that they
should invite this cherished guest to
Christmas dinner, for royal one they
were sure of now, but Darlon sur

new suit, for at the lodging house
that evening he found an unexpected
letter from his estranged uncle con-
tanning liberal remittance and ask

of his soul might become a reality be-
