THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT

Wrappings and wrappings and
wrappings! Marian Garne wonder
ed if she would ever find out what
her Christmas present was. At last
she paused, a tiny box in her
hand, and glanced at her fiance.
Austin Browning's intent form
cleared, and a faint smile passed
between them. Then she opened
the box, gasped a little, and slip
ped a ring on her finger.
"Oh, Austin!" she said, and
flung her arms about him. "A dia-
mond! A real diamond! And I've
wanted one for ever so long. It's
beautiful"
"A very happy Christmas,
DEAR" he answered and kissed her.
For long while they sat talk
ing. Every few minutes she spoke
of her ring. How had he meas
ured her finger? Now she had a
reallytruly engagement ring, didn't
she? Did it cost much? It must
have been awfully expensive.
Where did he get the money?
why do you want to- bother
about that, honey " he asked her.
"Well, Austin" she pouted, 81
have a right to know, haven't II"
"Of course, dear" He paused.
You remember when my grand
father died, last October?"
'Old Mr.. Browning? Yes"
They read his will last week. /"
,"Oh, and he left you something's"
eyes"
'SHow much?'
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1928-12-20


i couldn't bear to disappoint you.
That's only an imitation diamond.
The whole rng only cost ten dol
lars"
Marian spoke jerkily. She was
still crying, but she was laughing
too. "Oh, Austin, I'm SO gladp
"Glad?"
"I've spent such a wretched af-
ternoon. Wasn't / foolish But |
was so afraidv
81 can't tell you how ashamed |
am, Marian"
"That's all right, Austin. 1t was
SILLY of me to dream those awful
things. But if | didn't love you SO
/ wouldn't have cared"
"And you do love me, Marian 2"
She did not answer him in
words, but with her eyes and lips,
even if I couldn't give you a
decent Christmas present"
"That isn't so, Austin. You have
given me-and yourself, too-the
most wonderful Christmas present
we could receive; a confidence in
each other that nothing will ever
shake again."

The Right Rev. j. D. Morrison,
D. D., Bishop, of Duluth, visited
the parish church of the Good
Samaritan, last Sunday, preaching
and confirming several candidates
presented by the rector Rev. S. l.
Mitchell. The service was most in
spring and hlpful in every way, the
sermon was both instructive and
edifying, yet preached with such
simplicity that even the little chill
dren could understand. Those con-
firmed from the parish in Sank
Centre, were Mrs. Feisler, Misses
Catherine Faville, Mary Doolittle,
Edith Gates, Marguerite Watson. "A
class of five candidates from st.
Johns Church, Ashley, were pre-
sented at the same time. The bish-
op also confirmed class of ten
persons presented by Rev. Mitchell

day evening.

ing for the cupola and machinery
to arrive. These orders were plac-
ed on time, but work at this end
of the line has gone along so rap
idly that the material has not yet
been delivered. 1t is hoped it will
arrive very soon. The roof is all
on the building and the contract
has been let for the. corrugated
sheet steel to cover the exterior.
The engine room is all completed,
the boiler and engines set and
ready to go to work. The office
room is all finished. C, A. Emer-
son of the board of directors, said
to the Herald "Wednesday morning
that unless there is delay in the de-
livery of the cupola and machin-
cry here, the factory will be ready
to melt iron before the first of
February. The indications are
that in the neighborhood of fifty
men will be put to work when the
plant begins operations. W. NC
Neice, who returned Tuesday night
from visit to Indiana, reports that
the Indiana company cannot keep
up, with it's orders for radiators.
This of course, insures a good
market from the start, for the
Sank Centre plant.

You're very curious. He
seemed about to say more, but
thought better Of it.
| please tell me, Austin"
ooh, about-that is, it was
five hundred dollars"
"Why, Austin. That's splendid.
But you didn't have much left
over after you got the ring, did
your"
"No," he answered. He was
studying a design in the rug. It
was not long before he rose to
leave.
Remember, Austin, you're COM
ing over for supper tonight, "
Marian reminded him. "Our out
of-town relatives will be gone by
then, and We can have the eve
ming to ourselves"
"Fine," said Austin, and kissed
her goodlby.
Marian sat very quietly at din
ner. Now and then she touched
the ring on her finger, just to as
sure herself that it was still there. :
She watched the group at the
table, with their animated faces
and jovial laughter. There was
company" today - her cousin
Frank, loud and boisterous, and
his timid wife; her maiden Aunt
Margaret, with thin face and tired
eyes; her Aunt Alice and her hus-
band, John; and there, at the foot
| of the table, sat Grandpa Garnet,
eating slowly and carefully, so
that he should not spill his food.
He seldom looked, for he was deaf,
and so the conversation went on
without him.

Frank took a great gulp of bread.
"He got to be a mighty big care

'tFor PHYS sake, Frank" said
Aunt Margaret, eff you don't think

The old man looked up, and for

he had heard every word.

All he had in this world was a

Strange that the conversation
should 60 on! Strange that she
could 60 on eating, when every
bite seemed ready to choke her!
At last she found a chance to slip
away and seek relief in tears.
1t seemed hours before Austin

"Austin! How dare you! l

really was relieved.
"All right" he said. "But even
so, you prefer his word to mine 2"
