she’ll never see herself quite like
the others”—he gave his sister a
dubious smile—“she hasn’t let me
put my arms about her!” he con
fided.
“Hasn’t!” she echoed, amazed.
“No,” Joe smiled, got to his feet,
and sighed. “It’s a fine old world!”
he remarked drily. And then with
an abrupt change of subject: “I’m
so sorry for all this, sis. I wish to
God I could spare you this after
noon. When do we go?”
George calls at three,” she an
swered quietly. “I think I can get
through It thinking of Gibbs. I’m
praying—I’m praying—that I can!
It’s the last pull, you know—and
after this—after this I can faint or
be sick or do anything else, for
awhile P
Wearily she turned to go upstairs
with Lizzie and Tommy. Tommy
was to He down and have a favor
ite book read to him for an hour:
the little boy was presumably tired
from his trip. Ellen left him when
George arrived, and came down
stairs.
George, coming In at the ball
door, and Joe, who opened it to him,
and Aunt Elsie, who came to the
dlalag-room door to greet him,
looked at her in amazement and
vague alarm. Her face was &
she was breathing hard, and
was a strange, glitter to
blue eyes; made a wM

The Qift For
Today—And Tomorrow
T HE SAME sentiment and value which
we place on the things which we pos
sess and which have been handed to us by
our forefathers, will be placed on the things
which we hand down to our posterity.
For this reason select a gift this Christ
mas that will last forever — that can be
handed down from generation to generation
with its value increasing instead of dimin
ishing as time goes by—.
!*/! The gift of silverware carries with it
ail this charm and romance.

“THE BANK WHERE YOU FEEL AT HOME”
faught George by tbe wrist. He
was instantly given the Impression
of exhaustion, of desperate deter
mination to say what must be said,
before the collapse.
To Ellen the air seemed suddenly
thick and soft; she felt It pressing
against her.
“No—wait a minute, Auntie’.—
George—and Joe, too—come in here
—don’t go!" she stammered. She
half-dragged, half-led them Into the
little parlor. “All stay,” she said
In a dry whisper. Joe had run for
■ class of wat*" -•'d now be
side the chair into which George had
pot her, and held It to her Ups.
“Thanks, dear,’’ she whispered. Her
eyes moved about from face to face,
and her lips moved drily. Then sud
denly she made a great struggle,
as If for air.
“My God, she’s dying!” Mrs.
Baldwin exclaimed. But Ellen her-
self answered her:
“No, auntie—no, I’m all right 1”
And tightening one hand on Joe’s,
and with the other clinging to
George, who die Mid at last: *Tve found
out did it, George! I know
who fired that shot!”
A silence Spread like a fog over
tbe little elttiug-room. They ail
looked at her without speaking.
•Til tell you about it—” Ellen
Mid, after another drink of wsteg.
"It happened—I mean my teeming
about it—half an hoar ego. But I
didn’t dure do anything until George
got here.” She had so far recov
ered her cemposare that she could
now, and she spoke In an al
most normal tone. “George," she
said, “l want you to sit here, end
Joe and auntie, will you go beck
Into the beck room; just behind the
curtains, so that you can heir
everything?” And, as they be*
wilderedly but eagerty obeyed her
Instructions, she stepped to the hall
doer, and called “Lizzie 1”.
Immeatstely ussf* cam.
stairs, as white as Ellen was, with
Tommy clinging to her hand, The
little boy came running In to his
mother, and Ellen caught him In her
arms.
“Here’s Uncle George, dear t” she
said. Tommy indifferently felt him
self drawn between the man’s
knees. George looked dazedly at El
len. “Now, Tom,” his mother said
casually, “I want you to do some
thing for me. And If you do It nice
ly, I’m going to read to you for—
one—whole—hour—tonight 1”
is Will you really, moth?” Tommy
asked, his eyes dancing.
“Tea, I truly will. Tommy, I
want you to tell Upcle George about
that night at Wheatley Hills, when
you came down—you know—tell
him arl about It!”
Tommy was looking at her with
a guilty child’s doubt of his recep
tion.
M Grandpa told me to!” he as
serted, In self-defense. “I was a
captain', and he told me 'to 1 »»
George glanced at Ellen: they
exchanged one look.
“I was telling Tommy a little
about the reason why we left
Wheatley Hills," Ellen explained.
“And he told me why he liked
Wheatley Hills, Go on, dear. n
Tommy, encircled by George’s
arm had his mouth close to the
man’s ear. He spoke In a half-proud,
half-shamed voice.
“I said I was sorry about grand
pa, because I liked to piny In his
study! And I said he let me fire
his pistol.”
And the man and woman ex
changed a look of consternation.
“Come! A kid like you couldn’t
fire a real pistol,” George said scoff
ingly.
“Well, I did fire It! » Tommy
burst out boastfully. 1 'With two
fingers on the trigger! I said I was
a captain and he said I oughtenter
be afraid of my gun! I fired It two
times. He told me to 1” Tommy Il
lustrated with a dramatic gesture.
Ellen saw with
a dfry throat. She heard him whis
per “My God!”
“But, Tom—how’s that? You
mean to tell me you fired the re
volver like that about the room?”
he asked the child.
“Well-a,” Tommy stammered, “it
never went off those lint two times:
it didn't make any noise. And he
•aid. ‘Good boy, did Tommy 1’ ”
Ellen caught a quick breath. She
had baud Mm cell the child that
a handled times. * -
“He Mid ’Good boy!’” George re
peated, “aw then you pointed it at
him 7*'
“No, then he told me a boot spies.
He told we all about them. And
then I Mid, It you were a spy,
grandpa, T d fix yon !* And he Mid,
•All right. Urn a spy. I surrender/
And he Mid to me I must say,
‘Have you anything to say for—
that—," Tommy stumbled. “Why
he shouldn’t be shot, yon know,"
he explained.
I see,” George said, glancing at
Ellen.
“So I said that, and he said no,
he didn’t have, and I took the pistol
again and shot at him. But that
time,” Tommy went on serenely, “It
did go off! I thought It hnjl burst.
And some smoke came out And
grandpa—sat—like this—
He dropped Into a chair In terri
ble verisimilitude to th^ still form
they had found in the/study three
months ago. Ellen' anced again
at George: he was ns pale as she.
“And then what, Tom?”
“Then I went over to him, and
shook his arm, and he didn’t wake
up. I thought he was fooling. And
I took the pistol and threw it away
in the basket. I sgid: ‘Grandpa,
please wake up!’ but he wouldn’t.
So I ran to the door and called for
Lizzie. I called seventy or twenty
five times, 1 guess.”
“I see. I see, of course, bat tall

“Why, she was up in mother’s
room. I wasn’t sure that grandpa
was fooling, though maybe he was.
I was afraid purraps I’d hurt

“Then why didn’t you run and

so?"
