A look of quickening interest bright ened the middle-aged face of Andrew Graves as a long gray envelope slipped from the pile of litters through which he was glancing. He tore It open eagerly and drew out a card on which was a water-color sketch of a woman's head. The faint est odor of apple blossoms clung to the interesting trifle. Graves studied It intently. It was the fifth he had received that week. Be ginning Monday morning, one had ar rived each day In the first pile of mail brought to his desk. When the first one came he had been but slightly con cerned. The second made him curious. and the third had aroused a deep de sire to learn their source. The face appealed to him, rousing vaguely some dormant and disconnected memories of his youth. Opening a drawer in his desk, he took out the ones he had received earlier in the week. Spreading the cards in a row, he made them the ob jects of his most attentive considera tion. The same face was sketched on all, but each represented a different expression and pose. No word of any kind accompanied them. lie settled back in his chair and sat in quiet thought for some moments. The Derfume rising to him recalled the You Have Come." .early days of his boyhood, the hap plest of which were spent In the old orchard at springtime, when the trees were laden with the fragrant pink and white blossoms. And always the lady of the cards seemed to be with him, romping with the group of children who were his companions. His usually disciplined mind revolt ed from its training many times throughout the day, and the hour of closing found him p~oring over the mays terious pictures once again. lie finally glanced toward the win dow and the evidence of comning twi light swept away his direamls and re minded him of things to be done be fore he could keep a dinner engage ment that night, lie reluctantly atrose, rephied~ the cards in 1-he envejopes and laid themi carefully away in the dralwp)r, thien hurriedly left the of1ice. Throughout the evening he had a sense of disappointmnent. It was as if he had been very near a pleasant (11s covery and had been suddenly drawm b~ack. Before he left his hostess said:l "I h~ad hioped to have you meet an artist this evening, Mr. Graves. She~ is an unusually clever woman. At the last moment she wvas detained." Andrew~ Graves frowned. "Perhaps I am fortunate, A.frs. Bow era. Ileatly, sInce my ruyv liem" is in process of building, I've beer' steredl at all times of the day and .;ght by artlsjs who want to (do the decoratIons for that Ameriean room of mine. I've taken to refusing to see any of them. I'll look up my own," and~ he turned abruptly away. As hIs car was speed(ing hiomeward there flashed into his mindl an ideca, preposterous, perhaps, but insistent. It connected the card~s in the gray en velopes with the artist who had failed to app~ear. H~e leaned forward, halt yielding to an impulse to go back and demand her name from Mrs. Blowers. Then lhe decided to go on home, secret ly ashamed of himself for allowing his head to ho turned by a pretty picture. But the idea remained and kept first place in his thoughts, with the result -that Saturday morning found hinm at his dlesk a full hour earlier than he had been for years. Impatiently he ran over his letters. No gray en velope wvas there I lie was chagrined. To have gone so far out of his usual routine as to get down at that hour and then be fooled I Ue looked his mall over again, but with the. same result. The morning was full of trouble for all the force of emiployees. Nothing suited,. and Tommy, the offico boy, dropped his jaunty bearing whenever he carried a eardh to his employer. The tenth caller had been turned away despite the urgency of lils er rand, Tommuy once more entered the sanctum,. Graves looked up angelily. "nidn't I tell you," ho began, but Monday, March 8, 8:30 P. M. CONCERT ....BY.... Greenville Woman's College GLEE CLUB J. OSCAR MILLER, Director "THE CLUB WITH A PROGRAM" uuddenly stOpped as his eyes noted the gray envelope the boy carried. "Where did you get that?" he demanded. "Lady outside, sir, sent it in." "A lady1 S md her in at once." Ile opened the envelope the boy handed him. The same face was on the card it en:losed, but somehow the expression wa j almost triumphant. As he stud(i d it the caller entered, and lie started to his feet. le stared, but justifiably, for there was the lady of the cards, and the scent of apple blossoms was filling the room. She was tall and slender, and wore a gown of sivery gray. There was a touch of pink about it that matched the bloom of her cheeks. "You have come," he said simply. "I felt that you must." "Then the adverisement was suc cessful?" A rhomentary gleam of mirth sparkled in the brown eyes. "The advertisement? Oh, the gray envelopes-the cards? What do they mean? But he seated, please. I am rude." le was plainly bewildered. "I am an artist, Air. Graves. I liave attempted to see you before, but you were never at leisure, so I adopted the card method of getting you ac qualnted with my work. I hoped I might secure an interview that way." "You are wonderfully clever," he said slowly, in undisguised admiration. "You have gained your purpose. I shall be glad to give you a commis sion." The lady in gray said nothing, but her smile took him back to the days of his boyhood. "I want some landscapes, not in oil, but in your charming water colors. I want thema to embody certain things." And in a softened voice he described his old home, the apple orchard and the spring by the roadside. "I do not expect them to be absolutely true to life as it was then. But it was my childhood home. Let your work be a type. Do with them as you like. Somehow I feel sure you can make exactly what I want." "Thank you, Mr. Graves. I shall not disappoint you." And she was gone before he realized that he did not know her name or place of residence. The next month was interminably long. There was no word from his artist, nor could he learn one thtng about her. Mrs. Rowers, though be sieged with Inquiries, refused an an swer. At last, one day, another gray en velope caine in the mail, and the hands that opened it trembled in their eager ness. Another card was in it, this time of a little girl of fourteen, with big brown eyes and waving hair. With a throb lie recognized her as the little playmate of his early days who had always been with him in the orchard. just heneath the picture was writ ten, "Call at it Grey terrace." Exactly thirty minutes lIter Andrew Graves was ringing the bell at 11 Grey terrace. No one was in the room where he was shown to wait, but, hung against one wvall were half a dozen daintily executed sketches of his old farm home, clear and true as the hand of mortal could make. Hungrily he gated at them, and then turned to find the artist at his side. Without a word he took her in his arms and kissed her. She made no effort to release herself. "Marts, I know you now I My little girl sweetheart I My sweetheart for .ever I Will you comte to me when the apple blossoms are here again?" And she said that she would. Weathercock Long in Use. Weathercocks seem to date from early times. According to Duncange, the cock was originally devised as an emblem of clerical viglance. The large tail of the cock was adapted to turn with the wind. Many churches have for a vane the emblem of the saints to wvhom them are dledientedl. St. Peter's. Cornhill, Londlon, is surmounted with a key. St. Peter having the keys of heaven and~ hell. St. Laurence has for a vane a grid iron, and St. Laurence at Norwich has the gridiront with the holy martyr ex tended upon the bars. A gilt ship in full sail is the vaune upon St. Miilred's church in the P'oultry. St. Michatel's, Queenshithe, has a ship, the hull of which will hold a bushel of grain, referring to the for mer traille in corn at the hithe. Many Holidays In December. December, taking the world over, is a month of bank and'( pubtllic holidays. No less than 20 of the 31 day13s of the month are recognized somewhere as occasions for church fetes or cessa tion of husiness in celebration of lo. cal or national events. Christmas, of course, is more wide ly observed as a holidaly than any oth er, but even it is not recogniz~ed every where. Non-Christlan peoples pay no attention to it, and in countries where the Greek Catholic church prevails, the old1 style Jlulian calendnir is used, so that, while Christmas is nserved as a church fesival, it comes about two weeks iater tihan in countries that use the Gregorian calendar. The Ombu Tree. The ombu tree on the South Ameri can pampas, says W. Hi. Hudson In F'ar Away amid Long Ago, is a very singular tree, indeed, andl being the only representative of tree vegetation natural to the soil, on these level plains, and having also manty curious superstltions connected wvitht it, it la~ a romance in itself. It belongs to the rare P'hytolacca famly, and has an Im mnense girth-forty or fifty feet in some cases; at the same time the wood is so soft and tponigy that It can be0 cut into wvith a knife, and is utterly unfit for firewc.od, for when cut it refuses to dry, but simply rota away like a ripe wktermalon.
