Mmthar-lifht and feathsr-soft and feather-
flying swift.
The enow cam* down the lifelong night and
piled In heap and drift.
The barns were roofed with silrsr sheen, the
fences glimmered white,
Tor fsr end near the barefoot el res had
journeyed in the night.
The baby at the window clapped dimpled
hands in glee;
This was indeed a bonny world which he had
come to see.
The sturdy boys ware loath to wait, their
eyes on fire to go
And fight and measure arms against the
legions of the snow.
And feather-light and feather-soft the firing
fieeeee piled
Above the fields where food was sown for
many a hungry child;
For while men sleep the great God keeps a
watch for things to grow,
And His world’s bread is always safe beneath
His brooding snow.
The snow fell on the upland, on the lonaty
graveyard space,
And the snow fell on the lowland, near many
a dwelling-place,
And everywhere 'twas pure and fair, and
dropped its shinning fleece
As if the angel of the Lord had hushed its
heart to peacs.

there was a goodly r array of plait*"
shawls, flapping in the wind, piles of all-
wool goods, and tempting ribbons and
laces in tbe window.
Miss Selina got out and went in.
“You’d better hold the horse till I
comeback, Hetty,”said she, “ and then
you can take your turn!”
Hetty sat still and looked around. To
her the village street was equal to the
Champs Elysees in Paris or Broadway in
New York at its full tide of gaiety.
She held the knock-kneed old horse
tight lest he should shy at the fluttering
shawls; she winked to keep the occa¬
sional snowflakes out of her eyes, and
shivered slightly in the wind.
Just then a little boy came down Ike
street carrying a gay china jardiniere
with a stiff artiflciat chrysanthemum
growing out of it.
“ Why Billy Powis, is that you?”
said Miss Hetty. “I didn’t scarcely
know you at first.”
The child laughed. Hawkins," said
“Yes, it’s me, Miss
he. “I’ve got a place in Richardees
“Well, I’m glad o' that,” said Hetty.
“It’s a great help to your mother, 1 cal¬
culate.” ,
Billy laughed again, and nodded; but
at that same moment he caught the toe
of his ragged shoe in a projecting brick
of the primitive pavement, stumbled
and fell, scattering the china ornament
in a score of glittering splinters.
He broke into a howl of dismay.
“I’ll lose my place if I don’t pay for
’t,” wailed he, “an’ I ain’t got a cent
saved up! Oh, dear—oh, dearl what
shall I do. I’ll lose my place 1 I cracked
a cheeny bowl this mornin’ an’ they
won't have no patience with me!”
Hetty leaned eagerly forward, the
wind fluttering her scanty cape, the tip
of her nose empurpled with the cold.
“How much is it, Billy?" asked she.
“Two-o-o dollars!” Billy lamented
himself. “Oh, dear—oh, dearl I'll lose
| my place!” half
Tears streamed down his frozen
cheeks as he stood shivering on tbe
pavement; he tremtled all over.
Hetty Hawkins looked this way and
that; she cast an apprehensive glance at
the store door, lest, perchance, Selina’s
cherry velvet bow should appear, then
she put her haud guiltily into her pocket,
and drew out the crumpled two-dollar
bill.
“Here, Billy,” she whispered, “take
this. And, mind you, don’t tell no¬
body.”
“Ma’am!”
The convulsive sobs ceased, Billy
stood staring at Hetty Hawkins as if she
had been an angel from heaven, and

“Where’s jour money?” sternly de¬
manded Selina.
“I—don’t—know,” almost inaudibly.
“You hain’t—lost it? Yes, I swan to
gracious you have!” almost screamed Se¬
lina.
Hetty drooped her brow, and said
notiii ief mg; but tbe torrent of Selina's un-
bridle wrath broke all the same on her
devoted head.
“There goe3 the bargain!" bewailed
Selina; “and all through your mis’able
carelessness, I should think you’d be
ashamed of yourself. Drive on, Hetty.
Don’t you see you’re in the way of every¬
body here?”
Once again Hetty clicked her tongue
to the old hoise, and shook the reins,
but so awkward was tbe nervous action
that her off wheel became locked in those
of another wagon, and, as a necessary
illustration of the survival of the fittest,
Miss Hetty’s equipage settled slowly
down to one side, andi came to a stand¬
still.
“My,”she gasped, “the wheel’s come
off!’
“Yes,” said a deep voice, “the wheel’s

Hfkt Hetty rat silent. In secret
had arisen an awful certainty that
Matthew Billings's wagon had been close
by all the time, that he had witnessed
the little episode of tbe china jardiniere
and the two dollar bill.
“If he should speak of it before Se¬
lina," she thought, in a sort of agony,
“what would Selina say?"
Uncommunicative though she was, her
sister supplied all deficiencies on that
score, keeping up a constant current of
talk and giggling until they reached tbe
door of the old Hawkins house.

Mr. Billings. “I was calc’fatin’ to make

Josey gesticulated to Hetty behind
Selina's back. She danced a mute fau-
dango close to the wall.
“I’m a-thinkin’ o’ changin’ my condi¬
tions,” said Matthew, slowly and dis¬
tinctly.
“Dear me!” murmured Selina, turning
her head modestly away.
“And gettin’ married,’’ added the
farmer.
“So natural,” whispered Selina.
«I—I guess I’d better go an’ put the
teakettle on,” faltered Hetty, in some
confusion.
“So!” echoed Billings. “You go!
What for? Why, you’re the very one I
want to marry!”
“Mo?”
But in a second Matthew Billings had
his sturdy arm around her waist.
“And,” said he, “if I hadn’t seen that
kind deed o’ your’n to tba,t poor little
boy in,the street this afternoon, I
wouldn’t, maybe, have plucked up cour¬
a ge to speak.”
“Eh!” gasped Selina.
“I always fancied you was a kind cree-
tur,” added Billings, “and now I'm wife, sar-
tinof it. And if you’ll be my
Hetty, I’ll do my level best to make you
happy.” don’t
“Are you sure you mean Se¬
lina?” twitered Hetty, unable to believe
her good fortue.
Matthew smiled.
“Yes, pretty sure,” said he.
And again Josey danced the wild,
gleeful fandango in the shadow of the
big screen. Billings home,
Matthew went saying
to himself that his promised bride was
an angel. Liitle Billy Powis returned to
his mother, and told her that Miss Hetty
Hawkins certainly was an angel. Josey
was delighted beyond measure, and the
dissatisfied member of the community
was Miss Selina.
