** "yTjT OU must not expect mfleh ex4
clteincnt up In Sandgate,"
-jjm Albert said to Ills friend the
ISSKI day .they started for that
quiet village. "It is a small place, and
Iall the people do in tlie \ylnter is to
chop wood.'Oshovel snow, eat and go
to meeting.,-^Ve shall go sleighing, and
I shall take you to church to be stared
at, andvfor the rest Alice and Aunt
Susan will give us plenty to 4at."
It was nearly dark and snowing
when they reached Sandgate, and when
Prank Nason saw a plump, girlish figure
with slightly whitened garments
rush forward, almost jump into his
friend's arms and kiss him vehement
ly, It occurred to him that a welcome
homo by such a sister was worth conw
Ing many miles tor. " '
Then he heard his name mumbled in
s> hurried Introduction and, as he
ifcised his hat, saw this girl withdraw
a small hand from a mltteu and offer
It to him.
"I am very glad to meet you, Mr.
Nason," she suid with a bright smile;
Worth* coming many miles for.
"my brother has told me so much
about' you I feel almost acquainted."
X And then, turning to that brother, she
added, "I hare the horse hitched outside,
Bert, so we will go right home."
She led the way, and when they had
s: stowed their belongings In the sleigh
she sa{d, "You can hold nfe In jour
lap, Bert, and I'll drive. I'm used to
It now." She chirruped to the rather
docile horse, and as the bells began
to jingle she added, "What have you
got to that box, Bertie?"
"Ask me no questions, and I'll tell
you no fibs, Mire Curious," he answered.
"Wait ontU tomorrow, and
then Til show yon."
When they drove Into the yard be
said: "Take Frank right in, sis, and
BnL unharness," ?
' It was quite dark now, but Frank
\ noticed as he gathered up the bags
I and bundles and followed his hostess
* that the rather stately house was
aglow with light
"Lear? yfrur hat and coat here in
the hall, Mr. Naaon," she said cordial- '

W0 now. I'm first and second girl,
housemaid and cook, and I must go

I'm sure."
L. It wee not a formal reception, but
m. It was * cordial one, which was better,
and when Frank entered the parlor
he was surprised at the cheerful

curtain hung a wreath. In one corner j
Blood an uprigftt piano, in sharp contrast
with the lather antique hnirclotli
chairs and Sofa! He had Just
drawn a "chair to the lire when Albert
came in and gave a low whistle nt the
sight of the decorations. "That's one
of the perquisites of a country schoolma'am,"
he observed, "nmu *11 bet the
boys that gathered all this green for
Alice enjoyed getting it. I used to
when I was a boy. Well, old follow," I
he added, addressing Frank, "bete we
are, and you must make yourself at?
home."
Then Alice came in and announced
supper, and after Aunt Susan had been
Introduced they all sat down. It was
an old fashioned meal, for, while the
brot^or. helped to thoUiain-aiHl eggs and
fried potatoes, Aunt Susan served the
quince preserves and*pushed the hot
biscuit and Alice poured the tea. The
table, too, had a Christinas touch, for
around the mat where the lamp stood
was a green wreath brightened with
clusters of red berries. It was all a
charming \iicture, and not the least of
It wns the fair girl who so graciously
played" the'hostess. When the njeal
was over she said: '*
"Notf ytfu two gentlemen mus^ go
into the parlor and smoke, and I'll join
VOI1 Inter I rniiunniwl von to nmnla "
she added imperiously, "for I want the
house to smell as if there was a man
around."
When she came in later, wearing her
new house dress, she drew her chair
close to her brother's and, resting her
elbows on his knee and her chin In her
open palms, she looked up and said 1
with a witching smile:
"Now, Bertie. I've done all I could for
your comfort, so now please tell mo 1
what Is In that long, flat box you
brought."
"You aro a bewitching conxcr, sis,"
he answered, "but I am hard hearted.
I'll make a trMe with you, though.
First tell us all ubput your scliOoIteacliing
and sing u?.uU the songs I i
aslTYor, and then I'll open the* box."
"You are very modest In your wants,"
she replied archly, "but, like nil men,
you must be humored to keep you good
natured, I presume."
"I wish you would tell us about your
school, Miss I'nge," put in Frank. "You
are not n bit like the schoolma'ain of

how you manage children."
"Well, It was a little hnrd at first,"
she answered, "for 'boys and girls of
ten find twelve have surprisingly keen
intuitions, and It seemed to me they
made a study of my face from the first
and concluded I was soft hearted. I
had one little boy that was a born mischief
maker, but he had such winsome
ways I hod to lore him in spite of it
But he had to be punished some way,
and so one day I kept him after school
and then told him I must whip him
hard, but not at that time. 1 explained
to him what I was going to punish him
for, 'bat,' I said, 'I shall not do it to
I uikui. i uitiy uo it tomorrow or me
day after, but I will not tell you when
the whipping is to come until I am
rondy to do it.' My little plan was a
success, for the next night he waited
I till all the rest had gone and then came
1 to me with tears In his eyes and begged
me to whip him then. I didn't, though,
and told him I wouldn't until he disobeyed
again. He lias been the most
obedient boy in the school ever since.
There Is one little girl who has won
my heart, though. In the oddest way
you can Imagine, The day I received
your letter, Bert, I was so happy thitf
the school ran riot, and I never knew
It Tbey must have seen It In my face,
I think. Well, when school was out
this girl, a shy little body of ten, sidled
up to my desk and said, 'Pleath may I
kith you, teacher,.*fore I go home?' It

i-g It nearly brought tours to uiy eyes."
"I should like to give that little girl
a box of candy. Miss rage." observed
Frank, "aud then ask her for a kiss
myself."
For an hour Alice kept both the
young men interested In her anecdotes
of school teaching, and then her brother
said:
"Come, sis, you must sing some, or no
box tonight!"
"Well," she replied, smiling, "whut
shall it be?a few gems from Moody
and Sankey or from 'Laurel Leaves?'"
And then, turning to Frank, she added,
"My brother Just dotes 011 church music."
"Alice," said her brother, with mock
sternness, "if you lib like thnt you
know the penalty!"
"Do you play or sing, Mr. Nason?"
she inquired, not heeding her brother.
"I do not know one note from another,"
he answered.
"Well, thnt Is fortunate for me," she
said. "I only sing old fashioned ballads
and help out at church."
Then, without further apology, sho
went to the piano. "Come", Bertie," she
said, "you must help me, and we will
go through the college songs." Aud
go through them they did, beginning
with "Clementine" and ending with
"The Quilting Party."
"Now, sis," said her brother, 'T want
'Old Folks at Home,' 'Annie Laurie,'
'Rock-a-bye' and 'Ben Bolt,' and then
I'll open the box."
It was a simple, old fashioned home
parlor entertainment, and no doubt
most musical artists would have sneered
at the programme, but Alice had a
wonderfully sweet and sympathetic
Soprano voice, and as Frank sat watching
the fitful (lames play hide and seek
In the open fire and listened to those
time worn ballads it seemed to him he
Had never heard singing quite so sweet.
Much depends upon the time and place,
and perhaps the romance of the open
fire sparkling beneath the bauk of
svergreen and making the roses come
Into the fair singer's cheeks and warming
the golden sheen of her hair had
much to do with it When she came to
"Ben Bolt," thnt old ditty that has all
the pathos of our lost youth in it* there
was a tiny quiver in her voice, and

the mysterious box. With excited fingers

It was a delightful day for a slelgty:

with a white fleece of snow, and
the morning sun added a tiny sparkle
to every crystal. A thicket of spruce;
was changed to a grove of towering
white cones and an older swamp'to a

enjoyed it to the utmost.

One day while on a hunting expedition
in the Alps Victor Bmmnnnel met *
an old woman gathering brambles. She
inquired of the stranger whether It ?
was true, as sue Una beard, that the v
king was In the neighborhood. If so,
was there any chance of seeing him? /

Tlic old woman declared that few

brolfe into a grin.
"Get out with you, Jester! Do you
think n" nice woman "like the queen ?

The king was hot offended. Perhaps
the compliment to his wife mollified
him. He gave the woman a
piece of money, with which he was always
free, and passed along.
