Since a good way to keep well in winter is
to dodge the disagreeable weather by seek
ing the glorious sunshine and semi-tropical
atmosphere of Florida, the West Indies or
the Gulf Coast States, hadn't you better go?
'Twill do you a world or good. If your
neighbor has been there, ask him he knows.
A good start is half the battle. Therefore,
make the most of the trip enjoy Burlington
service.
Winter tour tickets are on sale now; attrac
tive stop-over privileges; diverse routes at
slightly higher fares.
Travel is heavy. Avoid possible disappoint
ment by making reservations early.

One Christmas Eve
By Alrah Jordan Garth
&$$$$$$$s$$$$$s$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
(, 1320. Western Nowipitiipr Union.)
HE girl with sad memories
sat gazing mournfully out
upon the brightly illumi
nated street, nbstrnctcdly
taking In the Christmas
trooping crowds. The man,
sombre ns well, who had
Just stepped upon the
front platform of the car
remained there, crisp tuicf
biting ns was the yulctlde
air. There enmo the call
of an Intersection and Ada Wilton at
the last moment caught the name and
hurried to the rear. As sho alighted
Itandall Petrle started, stared, made
a movement as If to hasten after her,
but the door clanged close and ho saw
the figure of the only woman ho had
ever loved swallowed up In the fast
receding waves of alternate light and
darkness.
"Of what avail sho would scarce
ly wqlcomc me," he spoke under his
breath. "Wo are parted by her will
she "hiust have meant It to be
final."
Ho entered tho car and sat down In
the scat the girl hnd just vacated.
It was an old story to, his weary
soul, the ono love romnnco of his life.
Ho had met Ada Wilton nt her moth
cr's homo In the quiet llttlo village
of IJrocton, had all but confessed his
love. A decisive understanding to his
proposal was stayed by an Interrupt
tlon. The next morning Petrlo was
suddenly summoned by a relative In
another town. Up hnd expected to bo
gone only a few days but his sojourn
ran Into months. Twlco he wrote Ada.
There came no reply. A third letter
was returned to him marked, "Re
fused." lie had later made Inquiries
regarding her to loam that sho and
her mother had removed to the city,
and he gave her up as lost to him. As
the car stopped for new passengers
Petrle moved to make room for ono of
them. He Jostled something In tho
seat A small hand bag. His quick
senses discerned Its ownership. He
left the car at the first stop. Like
some miser greedy of a treasure In
estimable Randall Petrle hurried into
a public restaurant and sought Its re
motest corner. He held something
that had belonged to Ada I A fitting
excuse was given to return It to her.
Its contents would surely give some
clew to her place of work, her resi
dence. He opened the hand bag. A
purse showed tho edge of a can) Id a
little pocket Petrle drew It out
"She remembered she has kept that
all this tlmol" he exulted. "Then"
Words failed him. His heart beat
mightily. Ho had brought to light
a photograph of himself ho had once
given to Ada. Ho Angered over several
little packages and Christmas cards,
then an envelope, unstamped and un
sealed, addressed to "Miss Laura
Deanc, Brocton." Instantly Petrle re
called a close friend of Ada. It was
no prying Instinct that caused him to
withdraw tho enclosure. Ono lino
perused, his dazzled eyes refused to
leave tho written pages.
"Tour discovery that It wns not
Randall Petrle, but a relative of his
name who led such a wild, evil life,
the report of which caused mo to strive
to forget comes too late to bridge the
mistaken past, but obi Lanral how
can I ever repair the Injustice done?
Some way, some way, he must know
of my fateful error, for I love him
more than ever, because of tho cruel
wrong I have done him."
"I had hoped to bo able to save up
enough to make mamma a present of
a vlctrola tills Christmas," ran one
paragraph, "hut I find I roust wait un
til her birthday. You know how sho
loves the old songs."
Itandall Petrle pressed his lips to
the signature, to lilm the dearest namo
on earth, memorized the address writ
ten below It ond left tho restaurant In
a glow oY hopeful purpose find faith.
"Two twenty-thrco Rosslter street"
he covered tho distance as If borno
on wings. A new meaning to Christ
mas Eve hnd conio to him.
"I huvo brought n lost hnnd bag,"
ho spoku as his summons at tho door
of the house he sought wns opened.
And then ho pnused. There stood be
fore hlra Ada. Sho wavered, overcome
by tho unexpected encounter. Impul
sively his hand steadied her. Sho did
not draw from Its protecting touch.
In a torrent of words ho could not
control, without evasion or nttempted
apology, Randall Petrle told of tho
contents In the handbag that haQ led
him back to her. Was ho welcome?
With a low, tender cry llko to thnt of
a tired child finding a sure haveu of
rest at last, Ada's head sank to his
shoulder.
And the surprise for mother l"
whispered Randall ardently. "It shall
be hero tho first thing Christmas
morning, all the sweet old songs she
loves, and oh, my treasure, may I In
