liar manner. For years they enjoyed
a tranquil intimacy, sharing the same
modest pleasures and striving to be
mutually sympathetic and agreeable.
An unexpected event had shattered
this intimacy. M. Jullin's brother,
considered up to then a black sheep,
had suddenly acquired a fortune
through some risky operations which
had succeeded beyond all expectation.
Intoxicated by his wealth, so miracu-
lousy attained, he wanted. as he said,
to make up for lost time. After two
years of excuses he died. The Jul
Inns, his only heirs, found themselves
millionaires. Certainly they had re-
manned the same to their dear friends.

down in the dining room, where they
were all three still sitting about the
table and talking. NJ. Mourllne had
just promised his wife an umbrella
with an ivory handle and his daughter
q coral necklace. He was pleased with
himself. Now he looked worried. ST.

had set her heart on the necklace,
also became uneasy.

with emphasis. what are we going to
give the Jullins7"
That's right! That's right What
are we going to give them3" NJ. Mour-
line murmured.
You understand 1t must be some
thing nice this year. Well have to
stand the extra cost somehow. l
know It is a nuisance. This Christ
mas season is ab0lninable. We have
all sorts OF additional expenses! %
But, mamma, we never spent much
on presents for the Jullins," Simone
interrupted. Last year their little
basket cost only eighteen francs, and
1t WINS perfectly good enough"
Il don't see it that way, Simonel
You don't take into account that for
merry, when the Jullins were no bet
ter off than we are, we could make
them gifts without any particular
value, any little trifles such as they
gave US. But that isn't possible now,
when they have an income Of 10000
francs"

on the family budget. But the Mour-
lines had the consciousness Of having
done the proper thing. and on Christ
mas morning they awaited With per-
feet security the arrival of the pres
ent from the Jullins.
There was a ring at the docrbell.
1t was a message from the Juilins,
with a package and a letter.
The letter read:
Dear Friends-We send you only a
little souvenir. Nothing at ALL We
are sure that we shall give you pleas
ure in offering you, as in the past, a
knicknack which has no value except
that it represents an old and faithful
friendship" -.

There was a silence charged with
establishment and indignation.

p~resent?' said Simone at last.
Nine. Mourline trembled with anger.
She seized the ~bonbonnlere and dashed
1t 10 pieces on the marble hearth.
That's what l care for their old
friendship"
NJ. Mourline made an ironic gesture.
Meanwhile they have your jardin-
iere at $40 francsi"
NJ. Jullin, in fact, was unwrapping
the jardiniere at that very moment.
Seeing it, he gave a start and called
his wife.
Look at the present the Mourlines

fools!"

Once a lovely shining star,

And its mother sang and smiled,

Therefore bells of Christmas ring.
Therefore little children sing.

Race Riot at Long Lake

Visitors returning from Long Lake bring a tale calculated to revive memories of East St Lou is race riots, and their attend ent fights.
 It is said that a certain gen tleman of the darker hue was engaged in the pleasant and prof itable occupation of 'cetchin' a few of dem grayling fish,, when he was rudeIy disturbed by a white, "gemmun", who started pulling out the fishing gear.
 Words followed, and in time the sounds of battle echoed far and wide, the white man shout ing for help, with, help, miles away. When the dust settled, it was found that the white man had a black eye, the coon white eye, and as there was no red eye drunk, the man with the dark optic is going to let light into the other fellows dark skin, on sight. As the parties have met since the fracas, and the talk of shooting was chin music, the a. flair is probably settled.
