Lilla's Xmas Presents.
)
rf ILL A SPRAGUE seemed to blow
: If. to at the door with a gust of wind
1 -0 and a drift of snow. Then, having
kicked a pair of snow encrusted over
shoes Into a corner of the ball, Ml
Lilla ran upstairs In a hurry.
- "Sea here, mother," said Lilla, "It's all
over now."
"What, dearr Mrs. Spragne asked,
looking np absently from a letter she was
writing.
"It's all over I say, It'a all over be
tween Randolph oh, what a too too
fool I've been!" And ahe flung herself,
sobbing, on a big horsehair sofa.
"But why. Hilar
"Don't ask me like that, mother. Don't!
I've told you before. And this this la
the sec sec second time. Oh!" More
sobs.
"I don't onderstand yon, daughter,"
aid her mother, leaving her batch of
Christmas correspondence and going to
carry comfort to the tragic figure on the
horsehair sofa.
"He's run away again."' Lilla roared.
"Don what, dear?"
t "The same as he did before."
"What did he do before T'
"Mother, I told yon, day before yes
terday ran away from me. He thought
I didn't sea him."
"Mr. Watta ran a way from yon 7"
' "Yea, mother, and I'U never speak to
him again. - Day before yesterday he at
least had the politeness to bow. This
time b just turned snd went down a
aide street. Be waa with that frump of
a cousin. I just hat her, and him, and
the whole lot"
"Don't be foolish, child. Mr. Watts
will be here to explain It all. Yon'Il see."
In answer to this Lilla only rose from
the sofa, grimly took off her wraps and
hat, maturing: "Yes, I'll see," and dis
appeared through a door that led to her
own room.
Mrs. Spragne did not follow her daugh
ter with any further attempts st conso
lation, neither did ahe guess what Lilla
was going to do, and that waa to write a
note:
Dear Sir In case you may wish tomskesny
explanation of your very strange conduct on
two occasion this week. I wish you would
spare yourself the trouble of doing sny such
thing, either personally or In willing. lour
ting shall be returned by mall, registered.
"ULLA BPBAOUIS."
That little projectile which Lilla fired
t her fiance very nearly ended the life
of Randolph Watts; at least, so Watts
ssid. lie could not think, or be might
hare seen an easy way out of the horri
ble mate into which ha had got himself.
His transgression stared him in the face.
He had run away from Lil'a twice and
bad even congratulated himself on hla
escape from her and chuckled over it se
cretly. How was he to convince ber that
his evasion was not an evidence of dis
loyslty to her?
It was only three dsys before Chrlst
(Mf and Watta had promised himself
that, whatever future Christmas night
hart In store for him, that Christmas
should be the happiest he had known so
far at least.
That night he lay awnke until he waa
exhausted. Next morning he got up au4
went to his business mechanically.
The Brat ray of comfort came with his
cousin, Mrs. Sucher the same whom
Lilla had cpolrn of as a "frump."
"Why, Randolph," said Mrs. Sucher,
Optlllf'' Vr
'IT IS AM. OVtB NOW,' RAID MIX A.
as she entered the office, "what is the
matter with yout Have you been 111?"
"She saw me," was all Randolph could
say.
"Yea. I came to speak to 70a again
about It I forgot "
"Oh, it'a no use now. Cousin Mattie.
She will not 'receive me or my letters'
never."
"Pooh! Did she tell yon sor
"She wrote to me I mustn't go there."
"Look here, Randolph," said the com
mon sense matron, "this Is all nonsense.
It Lilla Sprague won't receive me, she
must be a ninnjr "
.HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

"Don't say that!"
"I will say that. But anyhow, her
mother will see me. I am going now to
call on Mrs. Sprague. And now, look
here, about this bracelet."
"Shall we go on with thatT said
Watts, with a faint smile.
"Ot course we shall, stupid. Higgins
says be has tried to set the watch with
the face in, as you wanted It, and be
can't make any better job of it than
Moore could. Now I think I'd better go
and take it back to Moore's and tell them
to set It with the face out, don't you?"
"Very well," said Watts, with almost
childish resignation.
"And then the miniature can go Inside
with the original crystal over it, eh"
"Very well."
"And then I'm going straight to Mrs.
Sprague'a."
"Are youT'
First to Higglns' Mrs. Sucher went,
where she took possession of a remark
ably pretty and uncommon gold bracelet,
a tiny old-fashioned watch and the min
iature. Then to Moore's, where she left
tbe bracelet, tbe watch and the minia
ture. Then to Mrs. Sprsgue's.
As Mrs. Sucher entered Mrs. Sprague'a
private and individual sitting room sh
heard a wblsk and rustle of skirts and a
door closed behind a rapidly retreating
figure.
"Lilla not well?" said Mrs. Sucher,
with an Incredulous laugh. "Too bad.
These Christmas preparations are unde-

nlably fatiguing. I have spent three
weeks, my dear Mrs. Sprague, running
about town In search ot the right present
for the right people."
"You must have laid yoursclt out to
be generous," said Mrs. Sprague.
"I am generous. I give my time and
labor to help other people give presents.
That brings me to the object of this visit.
Can you keep a secret?"
"Yes," said Mrs. Sprague, "and I nm
bnrning with curiosity. So make baste
and tell me."
"Oh, then you know?"
"You were with Randolph Watts when
he ran away from Lilla yesterday. How
was it?"
"You promise not to toll her? to keep
It for three days? Very well. You sec,
he wants to give her a bracelet be had
made for her, with a very pretty motto
on it in enamel. Then he wants to give
ber a beautiful little watch that belonged
to his poor mother, and he has had a lit
tle miniature of his mother made to fit
in behind the watch. First be took the
watch to Moore's. That waa the Jay be
ran up against I.flla, when he had the
whole package in hit hand, and waa
afraid ahe would aak him, and ran. Yes
terday, Just aa he was taking nie to hold
a consultation on that woudertul brace
let, we saw Lllln coming along. 1 said
to him: 'Randolph, If she meets us she'll
want to walk along with us, and thej
the whole plot la ruined. Let's turn down
here before she sees n.' But It seems
she saw us after all."
On Christmaa morning. In spite ot
many earnest assurances from her moth
er that that mornlug would bring a clear-
in tup It all her trouble, Ulla was as ter
ribly cross and out of tunc with the
chimes as sho had been for tour days
paat Moreover, she awoke with head
ache. She found a stocking tied to the head
of her bed, as sho had expected, aud
took the stocking down and opened It
mechanically. Then she found the brace
let with a scrap of paper In which, In her
mother's writing, were the words, "Press
the spring and look inside, behind the
watch." And when sha looked a lovely,
loving face looked back at her a face
that was very like Randolph Watta' own.
And at the bottom ot the stocking
away at the very toe was another pa
per which said. "The bracelet ought to
tell you why I ran away. R. W."
Then she laid her head and bracelet
on her pillow, and wet both bracelet and
pillow with tears until her headache waa
all gone.
A Happy New Year.
Delight and pathos are Inextricably
mingled with the thought of New Year's
day, says the Boston Watchman. It la
only conventional point ot time; any
other would do as well Every day closes
an old year and begins a new one. but for
all that we cannot help feeling that thia
day, which Is agreed upon throughout
Christendom for the beginning of a new
year, la aomewhat unique. The pathos
comes from the review of the past, and
from the aense that another notch has
been cut for ns on the stick ot time. The
delight arises from tbe anticipation of
tbe nw and better experiences of the
year to come. What interest any rational
person could have In having his fortune
told is a mystery. The zest and charm of
life consist largely in the fact that each
day is like a new page In the story. If
you wish to enjoy your book yon do not,
whon it is half read, turn to the closing
chapter to discover how It turns out. Yon
do not thank anyone for telling yon the
plot. It 1 so with life. There Is In
finite satisfaction In each day's contribu
tion to the record. You do not want to
anticipate it. It wonld be a curse if any
one could tell you just what the year
wonld bring. It is jnst as reasonable to
suppose that tbe year will be happy as
sad. Who can tell? Who can control
that? Are we not in the hands of God?
That Ii the reason for a happy New
Year's day.

From the salmon that were marked
by Mr. Hubbard, hatched from epics
taken in 1890, there were oanght dur
ing the season of 1808, 875 fish weigh
ing from 10 to SO pound each. Dur
ing tbe season ot 1809 the packers and
dealers have neglected to watch for the
marked fish as well aa they should,
says the report, but between 40 and 50
have been reported, the average weight
being nearly 10 pounds greater than
those taken in 1808.
The report shows a tailing oft in the
number of cases ot salmon canned dur
ing the past senson on the Columbia aa
compared with 1808. This la in part
accounted for by the increased number
of pounds ot salmon handled by the
cold-storage concerns.
