By ANNE HEILMAN.
« Copyrighted. 1907, by C. H. Sutcliffe, ji
Hester Blake finished sweeping the
snow from her front porch and then
looked dubiously at the huge drifts ly
ing across the rood and the slaty sky
above.
“They won't come,’’ she assured her
self. “Cousin Emma ’ll never venture
out such a day as this. It’ll be the
first Christmas I’ve ever spent alone.”
She sighed unconsciously as she re
entered the silent house.
Mrs. Blake lived in the outskirts of
the village of Clifton. She kept a boy
to do the chores, had a cow and chick
ens and lived in a comfortable way on
a tiny income. She was “Aunt Hes
ter” to nil the young people of her ac
quaintance, which was considerable,
for she was popular, this worn woman
of fifty. Her sad blue eyes and faded
brown hair had a compelling charm
even under the rusty black hat which
she wore in winter and summer alike,
and when she smiled your heart went
out to her. You could have told her
your most intimate troubles, sure of a
tender understanding and sympathy
and that the confidence would go no
further.
The bright, shiny little kitchen had
the incipient smells of good things for
dinner in it, and Mrs. Blake set to add
ing yet another savory odor.
“Might as well finish getting the din
ner now I’ve started it,” ran oh her
low monotone.* She talked to herself
for company. “Mercy me—sleigh bells!”
hastily opening the door. “Charlie
Brock and Elvie Eee of all people!
Hurry in and I’ll get you some hot cof
fee. It'll heat you up. Why, Elvie,
what was your father thinking of to
let you ride out in such weather?”
“Father doesn't know anything about
it,” faltered Elvie miserably.
Mrs. Blake's glance went from one
to the other as she poured the steam
ing coffee. There were little humorous,
indulgent creases in her face. “You
are running away,” she said.
Elvira hung her head and began to
cry.
“Don’t scold her. Aunt Hester,”
burst out Charlie. “It wasn’t her fault.
I asked her to go.”
“Well, what’s she crying about?”
questioned Mrs. Blake severely.
"Didn’t she consent, or did you carry
her away by force, Charlie?”
“Of course he didn’t,” protested El
vira. “I said I’d go, but I -wish I
hadn’t. I was sorry right after we’d
started, and I—I made Charlie stop
here instead of going to the minister’s.
I ought to go back home. I know fa
ther 'll be worried.” And her lip began
to quiver again.
“Well, he won't be worried long,”
said Charlie, turning from the window.
“He's coming down the road now.”
Elvira sprang to her feet.
“Don't let him come in, Aunt Hes
ter!” she cried excitedly. .“He’ll be
mad at Charlie!’\
“Let him!” fiercely from Charlie. “I
don't know's I care.”
“Don't say anything hateful to him,”
pleaded the girl piteously, “will you,
Charlie?”
"Don’t worry, Elvie,” replied the boy
soothingly. “I won’t hurt him.”
“I didn't’ mean that!” cried Elvie,
trembling and clinging to him. “I
don’t want him to hurt you!”
“Would you care, Elvie?”
Elvira sobbed hysterically, her face
against his coat.
“Of course I’d care”—in muffled tones
- uu tviiu n x u v,uiu.
Meanwhile Mrs. Blake watched the
floundering horse far down the road.
"He’ll be here directly,” she warned.
"You’d better get ahead of him.”
But Elvie shrank back.
"I don’t want to run away,” she
walled, still clinging to her lover.
Over her head Charlie looked with
despairing eyes at the older woman.
With swift determination to help him,
she took the girl’s trembling hands in
Jiers. “Elvie,” she demanded, “do you
love Charlie Brock?”
“Of course I do,” answered Elvie,
looking at her in surprise.
“Well, then, I don’t know's I ought
to advise it, but your mother's dead,
and your pa’ll never let yon marry
Charlie, because he’s too poor, but
that’s no reason for separatin’ young
hearts. You’ve both got love ' and
health and strength, and, Elvie, you’re
twenty-four and ought to know your
own mind, and if you love Charlie; and
ain’t got the courage to stand up In
front of the minister, why, just stay
here and let your father take you back
home. But if you want to marry him
you’ll go now and have the words said
before your father can pull his horse
out of the drift, and I’ll get my wraps
and go with you.”
As she disappeared into the adjoin
ing room Elvie looked up into her
lover’s face. “I’ll do it, Charlie,” she
whispered. “Aunt Hester’s right. She
always is. I’ll go—wherever you go.”
“On second thoughts I’ve determined
to stay and have it out with the
squire,” said Mrs. Blake as she hustled
the young people out to the cutter and
wrapped a warm rug around the trem
bling girl. “Don’t worry, Elvie. I’ll
make it all right with your father.
Mind you come straight back here for
your dinner,” she urged smilingly ns
they drove rapidly away.
But when Elvira’s father faced her
at her own fireside a few minutes lat
er there was no smile on her tired
face.
“Yes, I helped them,” she said defi
antly, breaking the silence of thirty
years.
“It wasn't your business.” Squire
Lee blustered, but she stopped him
with quiet dignity.
“Yes, it was, Samuel. It was my
business not to let Elvira spoil her life
ns you spoiled yours, for you ain't been
happy any more’n 1 have. 1 ain’t say
in’ that Elvie's mother wa’n’t a good
woman, but the Lord makes two people
for each other and puts them into this
world to meet and marry and die to
gether, and if they go against his plau
nin’ they suffer.”
He started eagerly to speak, but she
went fin rapidly.
“I didn’t have enough money for you.
and you shilly shallied between me and
Lida and finally married her without
sayin' a word to any one. and so at
last I married Isaac. He was a good
husband.” A sudden impulse of loy
alty toward the dead surged within
her.
“Hetty,” a joyous warmth breaking
into the squire's voice—“Hetty, you
said—you said ’any more'n you were.’
Ito you mean that you’ve cared, too.
all these years? Have you, Hetty?”
with compelling eyes on hers.
"Yes,” she answered simply. “I’ve
cared. And there hasn’t been a day iu
all these years when I’ve seen you
growing harder and harder that I ain't
said to myself, ‘He’d been different if
he’d married the woman he loved.’ El
vie’s just like you. She’d keep Charlie
off and on, and some day she'd go and
marry somebody else and be miser
able.”
"I didn’t mean her to be miserable,”
the squire stammered slowly. A great
wonder held him fast. AVas this the
quiet, self repressed woman who all
these years had sat across the aisle
from him every Sunday morning in
church, this slender, vibrant creature
trembling in the might of her demand
for happiness for his motherless girl?
AA'as this the woman whom he hnd be
lieved without feeling?
“Hetty!” he cried and held out his
hand.
She took it and stood looking sadly
up at him.
“Hetty, I didn’t think you cared in
that way. I thought you hated me for
the way I’d treated you after goln’
with you for two years. I never
thought you missed me as I’ve missed
you all these years. I'd give them all
only to live over the two happy years
when we kept company. How differ
ent”—
“You've remembered!” the widow
cried, and her wan cheeks flushed.
“I'm very lonesome here, Samuel, but
I won’t be any more when I know
you’ve remembered. Now go out and
put up your horse. Tommy’s away for
the holidays, and I’m all alone. The
young folks are cornin’ back here for
dinner, and you must join us, sociable
like, and forgive them for runnin’
away.”
“Hetty,” pleaded the squire, the light
of determination in his eyes, “let’s run
away too! My horse is better'n Char
lie’s. AVe’ll get to the parsonage most
as quick as they do. Here, put on
your wraps!” he commanded.
“No, no, Samuel”—her face flaming—
“not after the way 1 talked. It looks
as though I was hintin’
"We’ve wasted altogether too much
time already, Hetty. Put this scarf
over your ears. It's too cold for a
bunnit.”
“Oh, Samuel, we’re too old to be so
foolish!” she faltered.
“We're not too old to love,” he as
sured her as he tied on the scarf.
Happiness.
Many people go through life dissat
isfied and unhappy because they do not
have what their neighbors have. They
allow themselves to be constantly net
tled by comparing themselves with oth
ers better off.
Now, about as poor business as one
can engage in is to go through life with
one's eyes so fixed upon what others
have that he cannot enjoy his own.
Everywhere we see prosperous peo
ple who are making a great deal of
money, and yet they are dissatisfied,
discontended, unhappy, restless. They
rove about from place to place, trying
to find pleasure in this tiling or that,
but always disappointed. They think
if they could only get somewhere else
than where they are, do something else
than what they are doing, if they could
only go abroad, travel over different
countries In a touring car or in an auto
mobile, they would be happy. Their
eyes are always focused upon some
thing in dreamland instead of some
thing in the land of reality.
They mistake the very nature of hap
piness. They put the emphasis on the
wrong things.
The secret of happiness is not in your
fortune, but in your heart. It does not
consist of having, but in being. It is a
condition of mind.—Success Magazine.
Very Neighborly.
“Good afternoon,” said Mrs. Nagg,
with Icy politeness, to her next door
neighbor. “Would you miud not look
ing out when my visitors are passing?
It makes the place look vulgar.”
“Thought they were brokers’ men,”
replied Mrs. Snapp pleasantly. “You
and your sister, or charwoman, or
whatever she is, are not the kind
that men visitors run after much, are
you ?”
“Better than some people whose ’us
bins have run away from them,” ob
served her neighbor.
"What do you mean, ma'am?”
“I name no names; their ’usbins may
be in prison or they may not. ’Ave
you seen my doormat, by the bye? I
missed it yesterday.”
“When I become a thief, ma'am. I’ll
steal something that’s clean.”
“Well, I must go,” said Mrs. Nagg
cordially. “I wish I could stop, but
I’ve got to call on a lady.”
“And so, of course, you feel awk
ward. Going to ask for a place as
cook, perhaps. Well, I shan't keep
you, ma’am. Good evening!”—London
