the front door and a man act an
enormous package in the hall, said
something about the blustering
snowstorm and was gone.
As the woman carried the pack
age in to Nutalie, a chirpy sound xif~
funny little tinkling music issued
from the bulky bundle. Her black
eyes snapped with delight as she
cut the heavy cords.
Out tumbled a hobbyhorse, a
handsome fellow with a leather
bridle; a white, woolly lamb with
button eyes and a bell on his neck;
a long-eared rabbit with a' perky
tail; and a queer little whimsical
top that seemed to laugh with merry
I music every time it was moved.
There was n wispy angora cap, just
big enough for a baby, and a tiny
white mufT, 0*1, so little, of real fur
with a tippet to match.

"Hruce Draper!"—exclaimed the
bewildered girl, actually spell-

j P"rom somewhere in the snow
' came the sound of queer little fip-
, pling music. They looked at each
j other again with wide open eyes,
then burst into rollicking laughter.
They gathered up the wayward
toys and Hruce loaded them into his
car. With the girl beside him, a
triumphant smile played over his
face, and they talked excitedly as
the motor raced oyer the hills.
"Mother and Aunt P]m just left for

up tomorrow, but now tell me about

"Hruce, surprises ore so much

Natalie got a real surprise, how
ever, in a few moitients, for no one
was home at her sister’s hou.se.
After repeated ringing and pound
ing. she looked at Bruce in dismay.
Her eyes wandered toward the
Parker home.

the stone house! Let’s go over and

lived in Hillsboro. Her house ad
joined the lovely old rambling stone
homestead where Benjamin Parker,
a widower, lived with his daughter
Natalie and the faithful Amanda.
When Mr. Parker passed away
Natalie closed the house and went
to teach kindergarten in Boston.
Amanda went with her.
The train dashed along through
a whirling snowstorm. Deep in Die
tender mood of remjgiscent reverie,
Natalie fell asleep.
"Hillsboro!—Hillsboro!"
She awakened with a bound.
Clutching her grip, a box of barley
candy, and almost dragging the
cumbersome and unwieldy pack,
Natalie, still half asleep, stepped
dut at the very end of a long frosty
platform.
A tall young man in a big fur
coat was waving good-by to some
one on the train as it pulled out. In
his excitement he took a long, free
stride backwards on the platform
and crashed into Natalie.
The two went down in the drifted
snow in a heap. The cord broke on
the big bundle. Helter-dcelter the
multitude of Christmas gifts scat
tered in every direction.

With a flutter of ecstacy Natalie
looked tip smiling, but the firm face
of Bruce Draper wore an expres
sion of grave appeal. With a com
bination of strength and tenderness
he took her in his arms.
"Dear Natalie, this mistletoe is a
symbol of the plighting of love’s
troth." His voice trembled.
There was a moment of silence,
a moment of mutual confidence and
understanding which had been al
most instantaneous. Her bl^nd head
rested in the hollow of his shoulder.
Through the half-closed eyes warm
tears gathered—his words clung to
her senses like a benediction.

The heavy front door swung open I
suddenly. There stood Edith,,Ar
nold, little Phillip and Peter—and |
tiny Marjorie, looking in wonder, as
Natalie and Bruce awkwardly stam
mered and blushed in confusion.
"Well, well," chuckled Arnold,
"we saw the lights—we—we thought

grijJped Bruce flrtnly with a friendly
hand, while Edith kissed her happy-
hearted sister.
"Look here, Bruce," said Arnold,

the old homestead and send for
Amanda."
