EPPY'S NEPHEW By CLARISSA MACKIE, \ When Amy Finch locked the schoolhouse door after the last | whooping boy had scurried down the ’I]DDO and disappeared around Lone ‘Plne Bend a great depression seized her heart. , Christmas at Lone Pine—among ' strangers in the tiny settlement nes- Itled in a valley among the Snowy | cattle ranges of Montana! Christmas away from her own people for the | first time in her lité! No wonder the lump came into her throat and | her pretty gray eyes filled with tears, | Amy was smiling through her tears { When Miss Heppy came tramping around a bend in the trail, looking like a big brown bear in her brown garments and brown fur hood. “Thought I'd come and meet you,” ®aid Miss Heppy, turning about to | fall into a step with the girl who was just half her own age. “I've got to go to Lone Pine and I wanted to tell you that supper was all ready on the stove. Purdy’s going to drive me, Want to go?” “No, thank you,” said Amy. “I am very tired. You know we had Christ- mas exercises today.” “Humph! You've worn yourself out making presents for your folks!* retorted Miss Heppy, looking critl- cally at her boarder. “Well, you go along home; I guess you'll find a big box there that came by parcel post today. I reckon it’s from your folks. There, don’t hug me to death, child! Well, here’s Purdy waiting for me! Good-by, and be sure you keep the doors locked. We'll be home by dark, sure!” . Yo R Amy waved good-by to them, and when the sleigh had disappeared be- vond the snowy ridge that was red. dened by the setting sun, she walked rapidly toward the little ranch house which was the abode of Heppy Brown, spinster. Smoke curled from the chimney and the windows were afire with the sunset. Amy unlocked the door and hurried into her own room to ery over the precious box, directed in her father’s handwriting, and so heart. rendingly reminiscent of home and dear ones. But she would not open the box until Christmas morning. She ate the supper Miss Heppy had left for her in the cozy kitchen and, after wash- ing up the dishes she took the black cat Vixen for company and went into the living room. Several hours passed; the fire gang on the wide hearth, Vixen purred comfortably in Amy’s lap, and from outside came the eerie hooting of a snow owl. Suddenly the door opened and the tall form of a man was framed against the snowy flelds, bathed in moonlight. Then the man uttered a long sigh and fell prone upon the floor. Amy screamed and dropped the cat. When she reached the man's side she saw that a handkerchief was tied about his head and the white linen was wet with blood from a wound under the thick fair hair. She turned his face to the door s¢ that the tresh, crisp air could revive him, and with deft fingers that trem- bled from an unaccustomed task, she found the wound and bound it as best she could. Presently he opened surprised gray eyes and smiled at her in a friendly manner. “Something happened,” he announced dazedly. “You have been hurt—you fainted at the door,” explained Amy as she held a glass to his lips. “Perhaps you feel like telling me what hap pened.” “I was riding home from the rail road station—a couple of drunken punchers held me up for a joke, I suppose. My horse bolted and threw me—and I rather think I bumped my head. Where is Henpy?”" he asked. “Miss Heppy—oh. do you know her?” He smiled. “She’s my only aunt. I've traveled five hundred miles to spend Christmas with her—do it very often.” “Your aunt?” echoed Amy. “Why, then you must be Paul Werdon. She never mentioned that you were coms ing,” she added, a little breathlessly, for Miss Heppy talked a lot about her clever nephew, who was a Chi; cago broker. She gladly welcomed the arfival of Miss Heppy and Purdy, who came in laden wita bundles, among which was & bulky package from Chicago. “So you came after all!” Miss Hep: Py screamed, going to Paul. Amy crept upstairs to her ‘room quite contented. Downstairs in the living room Paul Werdon was smiling into his aunt’s guilty eyes. “So—you have picked a wite for me have you, Miss Matchmaker? Well, Aunt Heppy, I've capitulated! Remember, I won't be happy till 1 win her—and you'll have to help.” “From what I w,"” declared Heppy mysteriously, u won't need any help, young man!"

The Program. “I see where the police board wants to sue the city.” “Yes; the board is evidently deter mined to arrest those estimate pro- ceedings.” “And wouldn't it be a punishment to fit the crime if, for shortening their allowance, they could send the basrd of estimates to the cut?” Love. Love is like the strong canopy of & tent, which “bears” the pitiless hail and the driving storm, protecting ev- erybody who shelters beneath it. Love is a “hiding place from the wind, and & covert from the tempest” She “bears” the passions of envy and “the slings of outrageous blasts of flerce contempt. She is always rearing her tent above the smitten and stricken chlldren of men, and in her gracious shelter they find security and peace~— J. H. Jowett. Twenty million® boxes « grapefruit..
