TRY OUR IOB PRINTING S HU hail written to him: “It will .seem unite like old times to have yon with us again at Christmas, it seems much longer than four years since yon were here, but 1 am sure things will appear quite as usual to you. We make no change lu our yearly program for Christmas, It Is really the children's day, as it Was when you and I first spent it together. (I hesitated when 1 went to write how many years ago. It must be eighteen.) But 1 think fa­ ther and mother—and I—take quite as much interest in it as grown people do in the circus—quite for 'the children's sake, of course. ’ “ 1 would ask you to dinner lramedl- ntely on your arrival Christmas eve, but if I dared to suggest the presence of an outsider there would be a hub­ bub among the pewers that rule the nursery and—at this season—the en­ tire household. I simply dare not say anything save that we should like to have you come at 0 precisely, so that we may have a little chat before the arrival of our other guests." And Indeed ns he walked up .the ave­ nue with his long prairie stride Christ­ mas eve he was depressed to find everything so little changed from the night four years since, when he had. left New York for the west to make over tils’ life in a new pattern of work and usefulness. Here was the familiar door and the old bronze doorknob which had once been on a level with his eyes. And the old butler, whom (he Stantons had had for twenty years, opened the door to him and answered his greeting with n respectful “Good evening. Mr. Burn­ side," giving him his Christian; name as If ,he had called only the evening before- But the hall was hidden in a mass of evergreen and holly, and the electric bulbs glowed in their shades' ■ like huge berries .in the greenery. And here he seemed suddenly a stranger, coming now on the old Christmas spirit to which his absence had made’ him ati alien. It bewildered him; It saddened him. ' He-entered the front drawing room and saw the hem of a skirt disappear through the portieres which hung be tween that and the second drawing room behind it. Some one was piucing a Christmas wreath in the middle win­ dow, a woman’s' figure. He did, not know her- She turned to greet him with an eager. “Why. Burnside. 1 am so glad to son you!” and grasped his brown fingers with n'warm clasp of a white bond. She was hot of- that girlish fragility which 'ho had remembered. She wgs the elder sister of her old self, hut In the excitement and .'pleasure o# seeing him her voice and manner were those of the girl Whomhe had lorod—and lost —four years before, ne smiled at her sadly. “How you have growtii” he said. ' S h e arched h e r eyebrows a t him. “A nd yon?" sh e laughed- “ Why. you 're a s b road and b row n as a soldier. 1 «hog^<J.h«vcr:*n®Wtt-jtou. •Von firnyi* changed!" , “H av e 13" H e c a u g h t a t It eagerly.

She held the wreath up to him, "l was pretending to. hang It In the win­ dow," she confessed, “so that 1 should be the first to see you. And T didn’t know you when you passed.*’ , He smiled again, and they sat down together, “How are they all?!’ “As well ns ever,” she said1and be­ gan to tell him of them—how the chil­ dren had been growing;' how her mother was aging. “And father," she whispered, "Is so deaf. You mustn't let him see you notice It. ft was tha grip last wimer" As for herself, her life w*s the old round. “I keep it fall, I ride -with « groom.. It Isn’t as Jolly ns when we used to ride togeth­ er. But you-yon must be a famous horseman by this time?" lie remembered those rides. What a fool he had been to forfeit all that! “ Yes," he said vaguely. “ What an age l have been away!" “And what » lot you have done." sha reminded him- “ You don’t know how proud we have been of you. I used to read your letters and Stewart’s out to father us soon as they came," She bad risen, She went over to the win- flow to bang tha wreath, with her back to him. “He used to watch for them, almost as eagerly as I did.” “ Yes, you were till very good," he risked. H was unkind, though, for her to say such things when she meant sighing by them, "Did. yon meet any nice girls out west?" she mired In another’ voice, fussing busily with the wreath. He shook hi;; bead, “Not that I re* .member,” ^ ' “How ..did you spend . lust Christ­ mas?" “ In a railroad train. I had to make a trip to Frisco.** He spoke abstract­ edly.

Sbo caught her breath at his tone. “Oh, did ybu?" she said sympathetical­ ly. “ We fixed It in the old way Just for you—to make it seem- like old times," She had come back to him, distressed by ld» manlier. She looked down at him helplessly.- .“That was just It," ,he said, “Noth- lug has changed," She,guesscd what he had left unsaid. He needed encouragement, consola- HERfeUBBEBMXDSUBmatt.YASTBAjtOEB.

She saw 1dm smile with something of his old boyishness and was encouraged. , They stood In the center of the room at lost and looked around at their work. "I have one sprig left." he said. "Where can .1 put It?* "There’s hot, a earner left," she said searching the walls .with a ,most ln< nocent eye. He could see none either ."Why," she.exclaimed,, “there’s the ottFplace over the mantel." 1 He looked Up at the carving. “ I can't reach it without aladd'er. even yet." She measured bis. height with n glance. “Stand on the arm of a chair.” . ■ . “With my weight?* he laughed. She studied the situation, “I'll do It If you'll steady—the chair."

She hopped into the ample seat of it with a show of dainty slippers ahd put her hand on iris shoulder. “You wlli have to catch me if I fall,'’ she smiled down on him.
