They would have made tho attempt, of rotu-Hu, each atTording to tho light pov newd, for who hn over known lover.i who quarreled to ho unable to give a most explicit and natifactory explana tion to themselves of tho course of their cntrntigeiiiotit, carefully omitting nouo of tho I net oiH making tho integer of their alienation? Marotou wan quite posltivn in Ills own word, awl Kolmvo mind Hint Alary had lieen entirely too 1 whimsical for jiny Kano matt to tolerate for a moment, much less a lifetime, ami Mary wnn quite as Hiiro in her mind that John Marstou wan tlio moat perfectly outrageous man nho had ever met in the whole course of her oxiitence. Observe, gentle reader, that these two people were mud "In their iiitudt" of thlii thing. What degree of certainty wan registered in their hearta will appear later. Do it us it may, tho years had crept along slowly enough, until as many na thit'rt lay between tho Now Year's day when John had turned bis back 011 tho east and Mary and tlio ono which, God willing, was to dud him ouco more un der the old roof where he had known all that the world seemed to havo for him, until this unkindly parting had sudden. ly flung him into such a chaos of un known things that at llrst ho wandered about among them as ono bewildered and blinded by a great shock. In it all, howevtr, and through it all, the spirit of tho girl ho bud loft.behlnd him shone as a soft light in it misty at mosphere, and do what he would, her faco camo oyer between him and the faces of all other women. lie flirted with th pretty maidens of the west, of course; ho would scarcely have been it man if ho had not, but he was proof against all their womanly wiles and willingness, nnd they had hitn 'listed as "heartless," but ho only smiled at that am went on his way untouched, but not unfeeling, Now, when ho was on tho point of re turning to tlio placo of beginning, they saw it bit ot newer sunlight in his faco, a tenderer look' from his eyes than any ot them had over won from him, and some said that it might be Mr. Marstou was not such an emotional Gibraltar an they had fancied him to be. He got away at lost, nnd in the rattle of tho train and tho whirr of the wheeki tho west began to fall away backward along' the straight lines of steel stretch ing across tho prairie, nnd Marion dreamed of the east. The east, where tho sun rose would it ever rise again? In the little Now England town among tho hills, up to its knees in tho snow, there was the usual holiday hilarity, not unmixed with that intangible sadnes.t which ever falls about and infolds tho days of the dying year. Christinas had como and gouo, ami tho children were as happy as children only are at Christmas, and the oldor grown were drawing their dividends of enjoyment as well from Santa Claus and tlio season. New Year's was following fast upon the crispy heels of tho dejmrtlng Santa Claus, and its a fitting tribute to tho time it was decided to havo a "watch meeting." Not an ordinary watch meeting, but a big one a union meeting iu which the congregations of tho four churches of the village were to unite and wait in prayer for the going out of tho old year and hail with praiso tho coming in of the new. John Marstou, the village's leading representative abroad, was expected to ta there, nnd on New Year's night he was to havo a grand party at the Mars ton home, where all might welcome him back again. In tlio preliminary preparations Mary Palvey was unusually nctive, If it was unusual for the busy little woman to bo active on any occasion of this kind, and there was a cheery light in her facn which tnnde her very presence warm, albeit a flecking cloud fell athwart it ah intervals and left a shadow there. For Mary's head nnd her heart had not been harmonious during tho three years gone, and more than one disagree ment liad arisen between them over thh same Marston-Pnlvoy matter, and ens was nt this very moment trying to settle their Inst contention, Watch night came, nnd every body was there except John Marstou. "Train delayed," they said at the rail way station, and yon know how much further information is always obtaina ble under such circumstances from rail way olllcials. As tho night wore on and the watchers grew more silent, tho solemnity of tho hour aeoniing to descend upon tho placo as a great weight. Mary could endnro it no lomrer. Quietly and unobserved hlio slipped out into tho open air. It waaitivltt'f to her. and sho walked awiiy into the stillness under the voice less stars, over the crisp and crystal rinow, until she came to tho little chapel nt tho edge of tho town whero on Hun diivs she played the organ for tho choir. (liit'iuiscioiisly she tinned into tho L'hitri'hynnl, Hlie know whero tho sexton kopt tho key under a corner of tho step, and opening the door, she passed in and down tho aisle to her accustomed place. Tho chap"! was not cold, for serviced had been held Ihero earlier in tho oven lug, but she drew her heavy cloak about her shoulders with a little shiver and sat down 011 tho organ stool. Hut not with muilo or song in hoi heart, Sim had waited for John and ho had not come. She had longed for him and there wa.i 110 ICSpOIIM.1, Hlio had wept for him, down thero among tho wntchcis, and she was angry with herself. Hut here, nlnno In tho silent darkness, she bowed her head upon her bauds ami played. I'niyi'il that ho might como safely home; prayed for him and for her. Evidently Mary's heart was triumph ing over her head, but tho end was not yet. It lacked but a few minutes until mid night, she knew, and she arose to go back . "OH, .lOIINt" Sill! CltlUI). to tho meeting, so that her absence might not be observed and commented upon nt the conclusion of the services, when she heard a man's footfall on tho steps out side. Her heart beat quick at ilrst, for Mary had read novels, and she knew that lovers sometimes canto to their sweet-1 ltearts thus; but this was not the fearless tread of a hero, j It was stealthy, so stealthy that if her i ear had not been accustomed to ever' noise about the familiar old building she might not have noted it. It was a burglar, slio was certuln, uf ter that first, heart thump, for it wae known the communion plate was of sil ver nnd worth at least enough to tempt it rural robber, and everybody knew tin strong box of the chapel was a strong box only in name. She was frightened nearly out of her reuses, but enough remained to warn her that her only safety lay in hiding behind the organ and giving the thief the right of way to everything in hit path. Slowly, she heard that dreadful step slipping along the aisle, creaking aa it came. 8he had to exert every erergy of her will to keep from screaming, and the slip slip creak creak came nearer and nearer. At tho end of the aisle it stopped, as if In doubt which way to turn, and her heart beat slower; then it passed, still slipping, over to the other corner, and she gave a faint sigh of relief. She couldn't have prevented it if she had died for it, she was certain. On the instant the sickening, awful, invisible stepping ceased; then it seemed to tura toward her. Nearer nnd nearer it enme, until she could hear the breathing, until the hands cautiously groping in the dark slid along the organ top itud touched her, She shrank away, but there was a quick start and two great hands clutched her, nnd their fingers crawled up to her throat. She tried to scream then, but she could not. It was its if she was iu a frightful nightmare. "Hold on! I've got you, you darned thief I" camo a voice, suppressed and ter rible, and with it camo the last remain ing Vestige of poor Mary's wits. "Oh, John!" she gasped. Then she fainted dead away. "Well, if this don't beat nllf ex claimed the marauder out of tho dark ness. Then. "Mary, Mary V ho called, shaking her vigorously. "Scared the poor girl to death, I'll bot a corner lot," he soliloquized in a ludicrous v fright ened voice, with the vernacular of tho eusfnud tho west contending for mastery in his words. He picked her tip, now almost as nerv ous as Bho had been only it few momenta before, and carried her outside. Ho looked down upon tho still, whfto face as the light from tho snow shone upon it, and with it great bound in bin heart ho stooped mid kissed her. Then how nil tho littlo stars did twinkle, twiuklo, and Mnryopened her eyes. The next moment sho was on her feet and mad. Mary's head wis triumphing now. "Come," sho said, "there's It watch meeting at tlio hall, Mr. Maruton, and 1 should Imi there; not hero." "With your hand in inino, Mary," ha answered her, landing fast. Slut put her baud in his then, and thin they walked back, and as tho watchera rose from their knees with n song of re joicing and pr.tUo, John and Mary, band 'In hand, camo in with thO'iieWyear. a f '"It's funny," said Mrs. Marstou n month later on tho local train west, "that John ehould havo noticed tho chapel door ajar on his way from tho i denot'thntoiliht. and .thinkimr a thief ., mi V wan insido had como in and caught mo there, wasn't it?" "Yes'm," responded tho conductor, who had known her from childhood, "and if I hadn't been lato that night there's no telling what wouldn't havo happened either, Is there?" And thero isn't. HEft DAY.

"Pretty much all," ho replied; "Pvt smoked some sixty odd years." "And It hasn't hurt you?" "Well, I don't know, younu man; I don't quite know about that. My wife has al ways told me that It hurt me, and my fa ther when he was alive used to say It wot bad for my health." "But it doesn't seem to hav hurt you." "Now don't be too lue-tv.
