In st the door with a rust of wind - and a drift of snow. Then, having kicked a pair of snow encrusted over shoe into a corner of the ball. Alls Lilla ran upstairs Id a hurry. "See here, mother," said Lilla, "it's all orer now, "What, dearr Mrs. Spragne asked, looking np absently from a letter she was writing. "Iff all orer I say, lt'a all orer be tween Randolph oh, what a too too fool I v beenr And ahe flung herself, sobbing, on a big horsehair sofa. : "But why. Lliur 1 "Don't ask me like that, mother.

"I don't understand 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 rnn away again!"

This time he just turned and went down a side street He was with that frump of cousin. I just hate her, and him, and the whole lot" "Don't be foolish, child. Mr. Watts will be here to explain It all. You'll see." In answer to this Lilla only rose from tb sofa, grimly took off her wraps and hat muttering: "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 at conso lation, neither did ahe guess what Lilla was going to do, and that was to write a note: Dear Sir In case you may wlahtomakeany explanation of your very strange conduct on two ooeaolon this wees. I wish you would snare yourself the trouble of doing any such tunic, ettner personally or in wruin. I Tour (tug shall b returned by mall, registered ed. "LILLA SPttAGUK." That little projectile which Lllia fired t her Banc very nearly ended the life f Randolph Watts; at least so Watts aid. lie could not think, or he might have seen an easy way out of the horri ble msse Into which be had got himself. His transgression stared him in the face, lie had run away from Lilla twice and had even congratulated himself on his cape from her and chuckled over It se cretly. How we be to convince her that hla evasion was not an evidence of dis loyalty to her! It was only three day before Christ inas and WatU bad promjsed himself that, whatever future Christmas might have In store for him, that Christmas should be the happiest he had known, so far at least. That night he lay awake until he waa exhausted. Next morning he got up and went to his business mechanically. The first ray of comfort came with his cousin, Mrs. Sucher the same whom Lilla had spoken of a a "frump." "Why, Randolph," said Mrs. Sucher, "it is am, ovek how," said liixa. as she entered the office, "what Is the matter with you? Have yon been iH?" "She saw me," -was all Randolph could say. "Tea. I came to speak to yon again about It I forjrot " "Oh, lt'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 eom mon sense matron, "this Is all nonsense. If Lilla Spragne won't receive me, she must be a ninny " .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. Spragne. And now, look here, about this bracelet. "Shall we go on with that?" said Watts, with a faint smile. "Of course we shall, stupid. Higglns says he has tried to set the watch with the face In, as yon wanted it and he 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 your" "Very well," said Watts, with almost childish resignation. "And then the miniature can go Inside wltb the original crystal over it ehr "Very well" "And then I'm going straight to Mrs. Spragne a. "Are yonr 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 latnre. Then to Moore's, where she left the bracelet, the watch and the mlnla tare. Then to Mrs. Sprsgue's. As Mrs. Sucher entered Mrs. Spragne's private and Individual sitting room she heard a whisk and rustle of skirts and a door closed behind a rapidly retreating Agar. "Lilla not welir said Mrs. Sucher, with an Incredulous laugh. "Too bad. These Christmas preparations are nnde- OW, IT'S HO TJSZ HOW, COUSIlf MATTIE." nlably fatiguing. I have spent three weeks, my dear Mrs. Spraguc. running about town In search of the right present for the right people." ion must have laid yourself out to be generous," said Mrs. Sprague. "I am generous. I give my time nnd labor to help other people give presents. That brings me to the object of this visit. Can you keep a secret?" 'Yes, said Mrs. Spragne, "and I nm burning with curiosity. So make haste and tell me." "Oh, then yon know?" "You were with Randolph Watts when be ran away from Lilla yesterday. How was it?" You promise not to tell her? to keep It tor three days? Very well. You see, he wants to give her a bracelet he had mad for her, with a very pretty motto on it In enamel. Then be wants to give her a beautiful little watch that belonged to his poor mother, and be has bad a lit tle miniature of his mother made to fit la behind the watch. First be took the watch to Moore's. That was the day he ran up against Lilla, when he bad tb whole package In hla band, and ' was afraid ahe would ask him, and ran. Ve tcrday, just as he was taking me to hold a consultation on that wonderful brace let, we saw Lilla coming along. I sal to htm: 'Randolph, If ahe meets us she' want to walk along with us, and thea the whole plot is ruined. Let's turn down here before she sees us.' But It seems she saw us after all." On Christmas morning. In spite of many earnest assurances from her moth' er that that morning would bring a clear-ing-up It all her trouble, Lilla was as ter ribly cross and out of tune with the chimes aa she bad been for tour days past. Moreover, she a wok with a head' ache. She found stocking tied to the head of her bed, as she 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 a writing, were the words, "Press the spring and look Inside, behind the watch." And when ah looked a lovely, loving face looked back at her a face that was very like Randolph Watts' own, And at the bottom of 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 Vear. Delight and pathos are Inextricably mingled with the thought of New lean day, says the Boston Watchman. It only a conventional point of time; any other would do aa well. Every day closes an old year and begins a new one. but for all that we cannot help feeling that this day, which Is agreed upon throughout Christendom for the beginning of a new year. Is somewhat unique. The pathos comes from the review of the past, and from the sense that another notch has been cut for us on the stick of time. The delight arises from the anticipation of the new and better experiences of the year to come. What interest any rational person could hare in having his fortune told is a mystery. The test 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 yonr book yoa do not whtn it Is half read, turn to the closing chapter to discover how It turns out Yoa do not thsnk anyone for telling yon the plot It Is so with life. There la In finite satisfaction in each day's contribu tion to the record. Yon do not wsnt to anticipate it It would be a curse If any one could tell yon just what the year would bring. It Is just aa reasonable to suppose that the year will be happy as sad. Who can tell? Who can control that? Are we not in the bands of Ood? That is the reason for A happy New Year day.

THE FISH INDUSTRY. Statistic of Columbia Hirer Salmon rank a Ulvaa la Annual Report of Coutntlseioaar Haed, of Oregon. Flub. Commissioner F. C.

Dur ing the season of 1899 the paokers and dealers have neglected to watch for the marked fish as well aa they should says the report, bat between 40 and 60 have been reported, the average weight being nearly 10 pounds greater than those taken in 1898. The report shows a falling off in the number of cases of salmon canned dur ing the past season on the Columbia as com rami with 1898. This is in part accounted for by the increased 'number of pounds of salmon handled by the cold-storage concerns.

Approximately a sum of $200,000 in delinquent taxes was paid into the county treasury this year on Whatcom city property. Of this sum, about 50,000 was the interest penalty of 6 per cent. Treasurer Rueder has placed this to the credit of the county, and the city of Whatcom baa entered a de mand for it. The matter will be taken into the courts. Arthur Iluey. who went from bis home, near Walla Walla, to work in Umatilla county harvest fields, early in the fall, and who was sought by his parents for weeks after it had come time for him to return home, has turned up alive and well.

A Gilliam county man recently sold 63 head of beef cattle to the Union Meat Company, of Portland, The price was $3.60 per 100 for steers and $8.10 for fat cows. Twelve head of the cat tle averaged 1,800 pounds, and one steer brought $46.67. j Through the failure of some of the shingle mills of Whatcom county to close, nnder the agreement recenty reached to limit production in the in terest of better prices, a break-up was imminent In the Whatcom county asso- niation. But a meeting was held and the recalcitrant concerns promised to qnit work, there waa a new election of officers, and harmony and strength were restored. ' The Lake view Examiner reports sale of 77 head of beef cows at 6 cents per pound, and that the seller "has a special lot of beef Christmas cows that he is holding; at th cents." NO HESITANCY IN TRADC, Csaal nhnnkag at Knit of the Not Apparent. Tea, R. G. Dun A Co.'s weekly review of trade says; The approach of now rear usually bringa so much of heal tancy in business that the small shrink age this year is surprising. Probably never before have the productive forces oi the country been so largely coverud by contracts at this date, inducing employment and profit far into the coming year. This results not from any mere speculative excitement, but from actual demands for consumption running lar beyond the producing ca pacity hereafter, and pushing it to re markable expansion. The increase in foreign trade has been siKullicant.com pared with the increase of $24,000,000 in payments through clearing-houses For the week the payments have been 80.3 per oent larger than last year, and 88.1 per cent larger than in 1892. Demand for oars and other railway equipment is enormous, and also for shipping, both lake and ocean. Tin is woak at 27o, and copper declined to lono, but lead And spelter, are stronger. Wool has advanoed further, with muoh speculative baying, though most manufacturers have supplied wants for the present, And are less disposed purchase at prices ; now averaging higher than at any time since June IS, 1891.
