Ethel explained that the girl In question was Hope Arnold, a cousin of the hostess, who hnppened to be spending the winter there. "She isn’t fond of parties, She writes or something. I real'y don’t know her. but if you’ll wait until supper time you are sure to inert her.” “Speed the supper,” sold Joe. He made ft a point to get him self presented to Hope Arnold and he found in her a personality that at once appealed to him. “And you don't dance?” he asked. “I do—but I won't," she said. “Not like It?" he persisted. “Too well,” she admitted, “1 have promised myself to work this whole fall and winter, ami when 1 once begin dancing and parties It Is an end to work.

Joe had begun to sniff the air lu a most unusual mauner. “I—oh. I’m sorry for being so rude, but for a moment I thought I smelled a fragrance that has been haunting me for weeks. Forgive me and go on,” he begged con tritely. “I was saying how kind Cousin Clare has been. She has let me turn the little log tea shop Into a workshop and I simply live down there In the woods beside a crack ling fire In the stone fireplace. There Is an electric light, and I work long after dark with the faithful collie, Sandy, for protec tion. My typewriter must shock the wood nymphs, but I can’t help that.” She shook her short curls u she laughed and Joe again de tected his woods fragrance. "Do you—perhaps—burn soma marvelously fragrant wood In your fireplace?” he asked Irrelevantly. “But—no,” she replied, puzzled. Then with another laugh, “I have a fondness for Incense while 1 work," she admitted. Then Joe explained the fragrant spot tn the woods and told her of the yellow star-like lights. “But It must be the formation of the branches that makes It look like a star," Hope Insisted.

BILLY FARINHOLT, now C deceased, was one of the most gallant soldiers that Essex county. Virginia, sent to the Confederate army—and if you don’t believe Es sex sent out her full share of hard fighters In 1861, just ask auy na tive of the county, that’s all. The old gentleman was a famous story teller. One of bls favorites had to do with an actual occurrence of the Civil war in which cool grit in the face of almost certain death was mingled, I think, In Just the proper proportion, with a beautiful sense of humor. The man from whom I got this yarn used to go on hunting expe- ditlons with the captaln. My ln- formant couldn’t recall the name of the battle In which the tiling occurred, but he was quite sure It was one of the bloody fights of the final Virginia campaign short ly before Lee’s surrender. The general engagement had com menced. The brigade to which Cap tain Farluholt belonged was drawn up in reserve uwaitlng the com niand to advance, when a small bat tery of Union guns opened upon 1: from the top of a nearby hill, do ing considerable damage. An or der was given that Captain Farin- holt's company snould capture the battery and silence the bothersome guns. This meant that unless some one devised a better plan, the detail must rush tb« hill by a frontal at tack. It also meant that the little assaulting force must suffer heavy casualties, even If it were not en tirely destroyed; for there was no cover. They must charge the enemy across an open space where the Federal forces might play di rectly upon them. As the men awulted the word to advance, the company commander felt It was his duty To advise them that this was a most desperate ad venture on which they were about to start Ills own Instructions, he explained, were not specific. He merely had been told that he must eliminate those pestiferous Yanks. Then, departing somewhat from strict military discipline, lie asked whether any Individual present cared to make a suggestion where by the enemy’s battery could be taken with the least possible loss of life. A pause befell. No one, It seemed, could think of an easier way than tire one already decided upon. A private, who stuttered badly, broke the silence. “W-h-h-a-a-t say, fellers, 1-e-e-e-s-s just c-h-l-p In a-n-d buy the d-a-a-mned thing?” GOOD PRINTING Christmas t ilts We have a fine assort ment of stamped goods to be easily fin ished with hand work— Beautiful Patterns Reasonable Price.
