This is just a circlet of diamonds. They needn't be very large stones, but they must be good ones, well matched and beautifully graded. I will help you select them. Come, Charlie, you have had a good year. I heard you say so. And Helen will be so delighted!" Belle ; clasped her brother's arm impulsively. The two walked slowly across the ! lawn toward the house. Charlie Kent j had been married to his young wife for five years. She had been famous a3 one i of the most beautiful girls in all the ! Oranges. It was in this lovely region i that they now lived. Th9y had youth, ! wealth and everything to make life hap- ! py save one thing?no child had come to gladden their home. This was a source of sorrow to the young wife?a ! sorrow of which even her husband did not know. Belle, however, suspected it. j "I had been thinking of a pair of 1 ponies and a phaeton," said Charlie reflectively. "Which would be the better, do you thiDk, those or the diamonds?" "The diamonds of course. You spoke of a queen just now, Charlie. Isn't Helen far more beautiful and queenly, too, than most royal women? Ob, to think how she will look when she sits in your aunt's box at the opera this winter with her tiara on her Lead!" "You really think she would like it, then," said Mr. Kent, beginning to share his sister's enthusiasm. "Like it, Charlie! I'm sure there's nothing she longs for so much?except perhaps"? "Except what:" asked Charlie Kent as his sister paused. "Nothing," said Belle, looking down and smiling a little demurely; "at least nothing that cau be bought with money. Come, Charlie, there isn't too much time. Let us settle now upon the diamond tiara for Helen's Christmas present." During the next month Miss Belle Kent made several mysterious trips to the city.

Belle was in a fever of impatience as t the hour for Charlie's train to arrive drew near. She and Airs. Kent sat in an i upper room waiting. "W. ET, Solicts a Share of s&mmmsp mere i?. the wliistle!" cried Eelle. "I hear the "train coming through the j valley; now it is slowing up at the sta tion.

"Why, because it is Christmas eve, | and because?oh, if he would only come! I'm afraid I'll tell if he doesn't hurry," murmured Eelle to herself. Eut sho could not keep quiet a moment. "Helen," she said, "of all the things in the world what would you rather have for Christmas:" "How can I tell, Belle?" replied the > sweet faced wife. "What is the desire of your heart ; like?

"Well, Helen, this lovely thing is on the way now?it is almost here, and now you mustn't ask me one other ques: tion," added Belle, with pretty effront j ery. "If you do I'm afraid I'll tell j what it is. Listen!" At this moment a dark figure was I creeping through the gate which opened ! upon the driveway. It was not Charlie Kent, but a young woman, whose head and figure were wrapped in a heavy shawl. In her arms she carried a bundle. From time to time she bent over it and murmured to it softly. "This is the house where I have seen ! the two pretty young women," she j whispered. "They may take my little one and be good to him. I can only hope so. * * * If they send you to the found ling asylum, my baby, it is only what your poor mother would have to do." She stopped and listened a moment, I then ran rapidly to the porch. "Goodby, my precious," she said softly. "If I only dared kiss you again! 1 _ ! CHARLIE CLASFED THE TIARA ON* IIIS "WIFE'S HEAD.

She pressed the bundle convulsively to her breast and with a great sob laid it iu front of the door. Then she pressed the bell and darted off into the shrubbery. "There is the bell, Helen! He has come!"cried Belle, clapping her hands. "How long Marv is in answering! I'll run down myself?no, I must stay here! Ob, there she goes now!" The door opened, but it was a full minute later before they heard Charlie's voice utter a sharp "Hello!" at the entrance. Then all was still for awhile. Belle, bent a listening ear, 6carce dar1 ing to breathe, while Helen regarded her in amazement. Charlie's footstep sounded on the stair. It seemed slower and more careful than usual, and Belle, leaping upon the divan, began to declaim: j ' 'Twos the right Ix-fore Cltristrcas and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. , When Brother Charlie arrived, climbing higher and higher, And bringing to my dearest, loveliest Eel en her heart's desire." Belle fairly shrieked the last words as she sprang from her perch and rrm toward the dcor. "There," she cried, "that may nut be poetry, but, oh, how tine it is! Behold!" She flung the door open and disclosed Charlie Kent standing on the threshold, looking rather dazed and holding in his ontstretched arms a white bundle. ! "Hurrah! He has brought it on a cushion!" shouted Belle. "That is right! Come now, march up to the queen and present it kneeling!" The girl caught Charh'e by the arm and began to drag him forward. "What is it?" ask?d Helen, with dilating eves. She had seen a slight move meat ia the bundle. "It; is a baby," said Charlie ia a queer voice. "I almost fell over it on the porch jast now, and"? "A what!" cried Helen and Eelle in chorus. Mrs. Kent seized the bundle in her arms, and in a moment it was on the divau, with the two women on their knees beside it, pulling away the wrap3 which infolded it. "A baby!" cried Helen in a soft, 1 tremulous voice. IMIOETCIEZTOiL; Your Valued Patron * "under the !$ ~i - _ "Ana on the poich, you said, Charlie," in this awful storm? It most be frozen to death.

The antiphonal exclaiming of the two j yonng women over the child was bean- ; tiful as themnsic of some angelic choir, but Charlie Kent stood by looking rather awkardly at the scene in which he had no part. "I suppose we'll have to keep it overnight," he said at length. The cool, matter of fact note accorded illy with the angelio choiring. The two women looked up for a raoment as though they did not understand. "I mean it wouldn't do to send it down to the police station in this storm, would it?" "To the police station!" burst from the indignant Belle. ! Helen said not a word, but Charlie I saw her face pale as she caught the ! child and held it close in her arms. "b'ee, Helen, here is another little I gown in this paper I" cried Belle. "And, | oh. here's a note!" She tore it open, and the two ladies i read aloud together: "A woman who is not wholly bad. but very j miserable, leaves this child with you. He is j healthy, beautiful and good. He may be to | you the blessing which it is denied me to hope j ; for in him. Take hiin and love him, and you i will never again hear from his unhappy "ilOTHEIt." j Helen arose and went to her husband j i with the child. "Charlie, yon will let me keep this' j baby, will you not?!' she said in a voice : which had in it something of religious exaltation. "God has sent him to me, ' | and I love him already. Yon will not ! send him away, Charlie; tell me yon will not!" Her voice dropped to a tone of tender cajolery, "Let it be my Christmas i^esent, my husband!" Charlie Kent accepted the situation with the best grace possible. There was no clcud on his brow as he kissed his wife's chtek and said: "Wo will keep the child if it is your wish, Helen." "Mercy, Cbarlio, I had quite forgotten !" whispered Belle; "where is it:" Charlie thrust his hand into the pocket of his overcoat, which he still wore, and drew forth a package. L'neeen by Helen, who was bending over the little rue, they opened it together. Then, at a sign from Belle, Charlie | came close behind his wife, while hie sister led her to the mirror. | "Close your eyes for a moment, Ileli en, dearest; we want to show yon a pic| ture."

It is cool and pleasant j i? summer, be- ; v ing swept by the J * sea wind or the : cold blasts from Labrador, but in win- i ter it is discomfort realized. There is ! bitter cold, and the ocean storm brings with it salt and frozen spray which benumb the most powerful. The people are an odd mixture. The first settlers were Basque fishermen and sailors, and these were followed in the course of time by sturdy Scotchmen from the highlands and French peasants from Quebec or from the faraway fatherland. English sailors and fishermen were added from time to time, so that the people of tndav are a combination impossible to match in the new world. Like all ! dwellers in a cold climate, they have | become devout and conservative. Once j they drank hard, but today prohibition covers them with her white banner. Their Christmas day is more like that of the Canadian than of the New Englandcr or New Ycrker. Religious services are held, and every one turns out in j his or her best. The clothing is Dot what would be called fashionable in J American cities, but it is well adapted : to the cruel climate. Three or four coats : and trousers often mark the man and as ! i many woolen suits the woman. In nearly every churchyard is a | shrine tc seme saint, especially to those connected with the weather. The favorj ite is that of Mary of the Snows, and another Anne, who is said to protect mortals ficm the torments of the ice. On Christmas day there are always candles burning in theso little shrines and ' nm\-orc cuirl lir Trivps and daughters i t"-".' J o whose husbands are on the mainland or the rocky, icebound beach. Here, too, is kept up the lovely old practice ; of the Christmas carols and "the J waits." On Christmas eve groups of j | singers go from house to bouse or else I hold pretty ceremonies of song in the village church, while on Christmas day ' church and house alike echo to the fa! miliar tuues of Christmas in both EngI land and Fiance. In the afternoon and j evening there are parties where games, I music and dancing pass the hours swilt; ly away. A touching feature of the day is the I old French custom of remembering the ! needy. This is done., after the morning ! service in church and consists in the | young people of families that are pros[ perous going with appropriate gifts to j the homes of the poor. As you stand on I the village street you will see a handsome, well dressed girl struggling with a bag of Hour under her arm and with her brother or betrothed, carrying in one hand a generous basket of potatoes and in the other one of fish or meat.

Peggy was charming, but Peggy was chronically unconventional. She had a habit of gently shocking Fifth avenue on an average of once a month and astounding her family about once a week. The truth of the matter was, Peggy was simply fall of animal spirits, preferred Jiving her own life and laughed at her more dignified family and the two dozen lovers who proposed on an average of once a month to her. There was of course Donald Cotton, whom she took a little more seriously and consequently tormented a little mere assiduously. But as that young man had been cursed with an income and a taste for nrban life Peggy made no bones abont expressing her good, healthy contempt for the unillnstrious existence he eked out. Clubmen, she said, were always commonplace. She liked men who did things. She liked to see heroism, she said, and manliness and the spirit of adventure in her friends. All of which made the good natured ahd easy going Mr. Donald Cotton very unhappy. Each December Donald was in tbe habit of going up into Maine after moose, and it occurred to bim that a few weeks' absence wonld not be a bad thing before asking Peggy for the nineteenth time to marry him. Roffiro rrninnr lin in the WOOds he Hat 0" n -x urally had to see Peggy to say goodby, and Peggy, of coarse, was surrounded by the usual facetious circle when be called. He doggedly sat them out, however, and got hold of Peggy's hand somehow and told her he was going away. "Where?" said Peggy, wincing for a moment, and then nonchalantly pulling her hand away. "Up in the Maine woods after moose," said Donald. "Oh, is that all!" said Peggy, recovering herself, with fine scorn. "Moose hnnting is awfully dangerous work," said Donald, "and something might happen." "Dangerous for what, you silly boy? Chilblains?" said the unfeeling Peggy. "Charlie Brown was killed by a bull moose last winter," said Donald cheerfully. Peggy laughed. " Why, I know a girl, a little, dimpled, pink and white girl, who goes moose shooting. She's a cousin of mine up in Montreal, and she goes to Mattawa every winter. And - t ?a. _ ~ W133C is worse, sir, uu jc^uuu uiuuguto I think I shall go with her this Christmas and show yon that moose shooting isn't so dreadfully dangerous." "Peggy!" said Donald, trying to catch her. "And what is more," said Peggy, slipping away and getting on the other side of the table, "what is more, I'm going to see if I can't get a bigger moose than you. .No, you needn't look horrified. I shot a mountain goat once,^ I "PEGGY!" SAID DONALD, TRYING TO CATCII HER. and I've been shark fishing in Florida, and I walked through Mott street one i midnight, so moose don't count. You go up to Maine and I'll go to Mattawa, and we shall see who'll bring home tb9 biggest horns." j Donald knew it was madness, but he also knew it was no use to expostulate. He called at Peggy's bouse tho next evening, but F^ gtry was gone, a sense of loneliness stole over him as he walked homo through the falling snow, his face set with a great purpose. He : would go after her. Something might happen to her. Supposing she got lost I in those northern woods?yes, ho would most certainly go after her. He had already lost one day. Ey 9 o'clock the next morning he was speeding toward Montreal fast as steam could carry him. At Montreal he caught the transcontinental night express and at : daybreak stepped out at the little town j of Mftftnxca, on the headwaters of. the ANY. COLUMBIA, 8.

At Gordon Creek the nartv of one was told that a party of six Indians, a white man and two girls in blanket suits had the day before started ont throngh the bnsh. Donald followed up the trail. The mercury went down below the zero mark, Temiscamingne took on its first ice, and snow fell often through the night. In two days he came upon % camp which had been broken up but a few hours before. Later in the day they struck high, rolling country. During the afternoon they heard rifleshots, and before dusk they came upon moose tracks and a well tramped "yard." That night over the campfire Donald remembered it was Christmas eve. A Christmas alone in the northern Laurentians is not a cheerful thing. But Christmas morning broke clear and cold. Before the sun was over the dark pine tops they were following up the moose tracks over a rough and | HIS FINGER WAS SHAKING ON THE TRIGGER j OF I1IS WINCHESTER. j broken country. The tracks skirted a frozen Jake, and then went tip a high j rocky platean. Donald knew these high j ridges were the haunts of moose in winter. ; Late in the afternoon nothing bad j been seen. The Indians picked a camp t and set to work getting their backwoods Christmas dinner. Donald, however, i could not resist the fascination of fresh moose tracks. He took bis Winchester and swung up over the bills for a reconnoiter. After about half an hour's i journey through second growth white j birch be came to a sudden stop and i dropped noiselessly behind a fallen pine. i A few winters in Maine bad given him ; all the true hunter's alertness of nerve, j Where the underbrush fringed away ! into a country of broken rock be bad caught sight of a calf moose. In the gathering dusk he could see it indistinctly moving slowly and cautiously out of the shadow of the scrub bush. He had plenty of time, so he rested bis Winchester on tho pine log, taking i studious, deliberate and accurate aim. i At that moment tbo moving shadow i turned sideways. Donald's rifle fell 1 from his hand, and he took a deep ! breath. His rifle had been trained on a | girl in a blanket suit, and he could, see ! her shouldered rifle pointing down the ! valley. It was Peggy. The consciousness of this bad scarce| ly swept through his mind when he j saw a pnff of smoke. Then came a rei port, and another, and another. A short ! distance up the valley he saw a cow ' moose fall. Then he saw something I that sent the blood tingling through his | veins. Out of the underbrush he beheld a huge bull come thundering up the ' 1 ? - ?J " ?1-1. '1*a in I ?10p6 btrujglik 1U1 iJJU uoYiiuu^u ju | the blanket suit. As he came tearing ! up the snow in his flight the girl in the j blanket suit deliberately dropped on I one knee, took aim and fired at the ! broad breast bearing down on her, not ! more than 60 feet away. ! Donald groaned. He saw that the J plucky shot went wide?miles wide. His own finger was shaking on the trigger of his Winchester, for when her life depended npou a shot the responsi: bility naturally unnerved him. All he remembered was that he stopped firing when his magazine was emp1.1 1. .L. U..11 Unrl IY, 2ii(lJUU?ll UJC Uiai uaii jj<*m tviai through the animal's huge lungs. A | moment later be had a confused picture of a moose plunging bead down into a i snowbank stone dead and a girl sitting in the snow, quietly crying. It was the first time he had ever seen Peggy cry. When she saw who it was, she stopped. i "Don?Donald Cotton, how did you I como he-re?" "Why," said Donald, lifting her up out of the snow and brushing the flakes from her wet cheeks, "I just came Tip \ to tell you how dangerous moose shooting really is"? "Stop, Don, stop, or I'll cry again!" - "And also to ask you for the "nine- ? M teenth time if you will marry me." ? |jj .! "It's getting dreadfully dark, Don, dear," said Peggy ten minutes later, . "and it's four miles to camp." " "Who cares?" said Don. Three Indian guides never knew why they were given three whole bottle? of Kentucky ?ourbon on a certain Christ* mas night, and it isn't every one who knows just how Mrs. Donald Reed Cot*' ton secured the pair of beautifully channeled moose horns which hang over her library door.
