because I was a baking something
to eat to -morrow, which happens to
be Chrtatmu, she thought I was pre
paring for that day, a special."
Betty Green sighed` as she placed
the pie In the oven, and pulled a
kitchen chair up beside the stove The
sew neighbor, who had but recently
Mored lnto town. and who knew no-
thing of Betty's history, had just left.
With the Christmas spirit everywhere
she had thougbt of course that Betty
was preparing a fest for the day.
"Now, if Jim hadn't never sailed
away on that water-logged old Mary
Ann, u be did a -going on four year
ago, I guess I could have been pre
for Christmas like other folks.
there hadn't been nobody else. Jim
and me oould of enjoyed Christmas,
and then maybe there'd a been some-
body
omebody elm ---somebody what just about
now would a been liking dolls or tin
ears. and if so Jim sad me would a
been having a Christmas tree for that
somebody
and we'd be
a having the

did try to
keep Jim
from sailing
to that Mary

body what
knew about

ing N would

that much
sooner a n d
the Mary Ann
or Jlm ain't
never been beard of since she lett that
Smith America place to go
Horn on her way to China-"
The bright eyes of Betty Green
were wet with tears as she opened
the oven door to raise the pie to a
higher shelf. Ever since Jim Busby
felled to return to time for the wed-
ding which Betty bad so carefully
prepared for tour years ago -a wed-
ding which was to he the big event
alt the Christmas season at South
Oove-she had had a lonesome life.
Two months atter the Christmas
that was to have beeu Betty's wed-
ding day her aged father had been
carried to the village cemetery, leav-
ing her all alone In the world. With no
other relatives, and with no Mends
except those at South Cove Betty re-
mained to the little fishing town In
which she had been born nearly twen-
tyaeven years ago.
With the baking finished. Betty left
the kitchen and went into her bed-
time. She wanted nothing so much
es to be alone to that room that had
leen her father's -in that room where
dm kept carefully, preserved the wed
ding clothes she had lavished so much
care upon tour years ago. These
Mathes and the faded photograph of
i Busby on her bureau 'were all
that were left her of her romance.
With these she would spend her
b,Rrtetmas eve, would lire over again
elm courting days. And Jim should be
there with her. That would be her
Christmas.
With care she took each garment
from its wrappings In the bureau
drawer and spread them on the bed
The pretty wedding dress which
Borah Glover had helped her make
-yes, she would put it on to -night
just u she had planned to four years
ago. Jim would like her to do that;
he had always liked to see her pret-
tily dressed, and maybe Jim might
see her from the spirit world to -night
As she fastened the gown she al-
most forgot that Jim could not be
there, that It was ail
a make-believe. As
she stood before the
mirror the smile of
tour years ago came
back again. She noted
the color In her
cheeks; it was like •
bridal blush.

usually stopped all travelers whom
they met. Whenever a conveyance en-

moved it was taken for granted that
the victim of the brigands had taken
them to use as a substitute for 111s
own garments of which be had been
deprived. The situation at length be-
came unbearable, and. a daring rob-
bery having been committed, the au-

subjects of legislation which catch the

real appeal to their sympathy and sense

pursuita. It is painful to realize that

1912 about 4,000 workmen were killed
