AD Wallingford been any- thing but a wealthy bach- elor and accustomed to hav- ing everything he wanted, the circumstances would | have seemed less . of . a calamity. 20 e f A He had been on his way to San Francisco to spend Christmas with his favorite married sister; and midway, in the most barren desert of the country, a bridge had been swept away by winter gales. His destina- tion could not possibly be reached un- til ristmas was well over. Wallingford cast a glance out over | the wide stretch of rolling plains with | only a few scattered s acks to break / their endless waste; a.d then he { looked back to his buiging suft case. { The latest and most wonderful toys he could find in the city shops were } crowded into that bag, for his sister's | only boy. Then, rot caring whether or not a highwayman might be looking he tgok a sinall box from his waist coat pocket and looked sorrowfully at a ring from which three exquisite diamonds flashed back at him. Wallingford leaned back in his chair and in imagination pictured his sister's joy when slipping tigat ring on her finger. He could, hear her scold him for his extravagance and chaff him for having no one else for whom to buy such baubles. He sighed and returned if to his pocket much as he might have cast it to the depths . of the sea; it would do him as much good there as it would in his pocket under the present circumstances. Wallingford was reconciled to a Christmas dinner over a lunch coun- | ter when his eye caught the name of Yankville. Yankville probably boast- { ed a near-thousand inhabitant, yet | Yankville also suggested the name of - . Everiy-Jack Everly, When Walling ford had last heard of Jack Everly the latter was located in Yankville. That was some eighteen months be- fore, but there was no reason why he should not be there still. L It seemed that everyone in Yank- ville knew the Everly homestead. It was the only one of any proportions in the village. The red glow from an Open fire within cheered Wallingford's numbed faculties as he rang the bell at the Everly door. On the face of her who opened the door, surprise was the principal ex- pression. - For, Wallingford, his six- feettwo encased in a great fur coat all dangling with | glistening snow beads and his handsome glowing face looking frankly into her own, was a { surprise for any eyes. his errand but with the matron's priv- ilege of hospitality invited him into the warmth of the house. \It was too cold to stand outside,\ she explained and waited for his 1 question. \I am Bob Wallingford,\ he began meeting the easy cordial expression of her blue eyes. } belated passengers of the bridge tie- up and decided to run over and see if Jack Everly would take pity on an old friend and-\ \Jack Everly left Yankville,\ @a smile played about her lips at men- tion of the illustrious village, \some six or seven months ago-\ Embarrassment, disappointment and surprise mingled equally in Walling- ford's face and did not escape the eyes of Sylvia Vale. She spoke with ready tact. ' \Take off that great coat, anyway, and come into the fireside. It's no | night to be out.\ Wallingford followed the slim gray- clad figure in a decidedly chaotic i state of mind. Mingled with his em- barrassment at having walked into an absolute stranger's house, was the sudden attraction he felt for this girl with the sgun,lit hair.

Wallingford was quickly made to feel that he had come to the right house. \I will stay under one condition only,\ he said finally, \and that is that you all will without protest, the Christmas gifts which I brought | out question.\ There was a moment's silence and- the promise was made, laughingly. | \But we will have to return the fa- voice.

The calm, unconcerned way in which she remarked that her husband Christmas eve had he been able to get there, was rather disconcerting. \ Dick Elkins arose and left the room to get the boy's toys. , \Bring down the suitcase in 'my room,\ cried Wallirgford.

A small box found its way into Sylvia's hand \Mrs. Vale, I can't keep this anoth- er minute,\ Wallingford said. \Oh I say!\ exclaimed Dick when the flashing diamond ring was un- wrapped. \You shouldn't expect to make sis take-e--\ \You promised.\ two men met and Elkins knew then and there what 'Wallingford's lips would speak. her Sylvia had little chance to demur and with a tingling sensation in every right hand.

But the silence was a complete one -one in which spoken words and thoughts were unnecessary. After a moment Wallingford leaned forward and compelled Sylvia's eyes and while he did so he took her right hand and revanved the ring and put it firmly on the third finger of her left hand. | \Next Christmas,\ he said tenderly, \we will spend at our own fireside. it Is all very sudden and very wonder- ful, Sylvia, but I always do important things suddenly and-love is always wonderful.\ Do Away With the Blues.
