Christmas Shopping HJ3 club looked jest ibe very thing Gerald Man. uersJey was craving for --asenac oEhotne, V.-; A 'few lines yaldi ;:act* ciaentaWy in an. out-or, date newspaper .had ■ mi fe him Teatieaa with longing fpr the old scene*. And. so-ftp had traveled tyro days and nights In a*, sleeper, vaguely connecting ftts Jour­ ney’s arid with all the love and friend­ ship his starved nature whs demand­ ing, When he arrived at hla old club on a chili, grey Christmas morning, it was only to find that fifteen years’ silent absence had been too severe a test for friendship . « The place was empty of.all but servants, and they wore strange, unwelcoming faces. He stood at tho clpb' window, look­ ing out on the desolate,- deserted street which he had always remem­ bered as being thronged, and a great sadhess swept over him., This was not what he waited. From bis pooket he drew out the Scrap of paper which find really brought him- so many miles* and footed at it bit­ terly, Jt was-only,a"death.announce­ ment cut from a paper of a year ago, and- ran; In. the'usual Way^'Mlchael Townley, a t his residence/*' etc. - In fancy he, saw a sweet-faced m a id e n , who sought her hap­ piness ' only in' the eyes of the youth hy her side, - There were joy- bells there, too, as they left -the -church- with-the fragrance of mu­ tual, love about them. The bells peal­ ed on outside, and Willing fancy led him still further Info -the realm of "might have been/' Th an instant he made up his mind to visit onW more the old-fashioned cottage not many miles away, to which he had hoped fifteen years be­ fore to fake a bride. He -would, go and see it, even i f it* neglected cr dition only-added, to hla loneliness and phln. Two hours later he was striding through the crisp cdunttjr air along a winding path which led to * ram­ bling, ivy-covered co.ttage- J ls the last turn brought him in sight of the house he stopped in s u r ­ prise. He had expected to See dirt, ruin, and decay, hut instead he looked upon a trim,, well-kept cottage, and a soft, crooning song, in a voice which reawakened the tender memories of long sgo, came floating through the unlatched doom • Half believing that i t must he fancy leading him still, he entered the house softly, and, following the Voice, went into the Inner room, and stood In the. glow of tho warm firelight. The sweet, tired-faced, middle-aged singer turned as hi* shadow tell, across the light, and then stood white'; and trembling. ♦'Gerald!” she whispered, “Gerald! have you come to reproach me? Hot today! Not today!” The strong man’s voice broke aa he held out his arms. - “Nance!" he cried Joyfully. • In a moment she wax crushed, sob­ bing^ to hla breast. “Oh, Gerald! is It really you? God is very good. I thought you must be dead.” ' For several moments they stood. thus* the strong man's tears fall- grey- tinged hair.' Theft - he gently pother- into a chair* - ‘You are hot *Ion*?” be asked as ■hi# eye.# caught sight of a ‘ little table laid for two, daintily # - p r # *d-. with* Christmas fare, “tea,” she answered. *1 am unite alone. I have often com# down here.” “But you are expectieg Homebody?” he said, calling attention to the table* She flushed prettily, looking almost as young as she had in his dreams of the morning, a# she replied: “I wan expecting you, Gerald.” He smiled happily at h*r; then the smile faded, and he sighed as he sank Into a Chair, » “This Is all foolishness, Nance,” he said sadly, 'You could not live here in the Old days, you could do so less now, and I could not live here on an­ other man’s thousands.” A smile hovered over the woman’s face a& she fly.ted here and there, busily preparing things for a meal,, Then she Slipped behind a chair, and leaning over whispered with burning cheeks: “Perhaps you do not know, Gerald, that—that Mr, Townley# money goes back to his family If—If I marry again’*'.- The man sprang to his feet and took her into his strong arm# again. “It is not too late,” he dried. “We are still young. Will you let me try to make you happy?” Her ’answer was drowned in the hurst of .Christmas bed* that pealed from the village church close by. But he did not need her words; he could see her eyes. ■. , Zell’s Book Store Dennison’s Complete Line of Tissue Papers and Xmas Dressings Children’s Books, ioc to $i.
