It ?hone softly on the little path that led to the wee stone house at the top; and It glittered like a million dia mond? sprinkled over the brook. The night was crystal clear, and every star shone with polished brilliance. "It was a night like this ten yenrs ago thst he last walked over me," spoke the path in a sweet, plaintive vorice. "I listen and listen for him every New Year's Eve, but he has never come again." "It was a night like this ten years ago that they both stood beside me and said how beautiful I was In the moonlight," said the brook In a clear, bubbling voice. "I wonder what hus become of him and why he never returns." "She w a 1 k 8 down the hill every day to the the letter-box, and once I heard her Bay: 'If he doesn't write me this New Year'?, Til know he's dead.' " The little path grew quiet In the moonlight. The brook crooned softly to Itself. "What was It he said to her that last night about going away?" asked the path after a moment. . "He said: 'If I'm ever going to make a cl*Min, fresh start In life I must do it now. I'll leave you, dear, and never come back until I've kept my promise.' " "Ah, yes, I remember," sighed the little path, "he was young and he had done a foolish thing?I've forgotten wh?t, but they loved each other so. She has waited all this time." Again they were very still, there In the clear moonlight. "Hark !" whispered the brook. "What is It?" asked the path. "I hear some one coming." "I hear two persons coming! What can it mean? One comes down the hill and one comes up!" A man's figure slowly followed the little path up the hill. A girl's slight form conic down like u w r a 11 h. They met where the path winds nearest the brook. "You?" said the man's voice, and It was filled with wonder. "You?" asked the girl. "No, no, I'm asleep and dreaming." The brook and the path held their breath for very amazement. "Ten years ago tonight I left you hj? re on e w Venr's five," salct the man's voice. "You forgave my wrong-doing and X went away to start all over Again. It has token all tills time to reach tlie place where I dared to come back. I was sure you would he gone, married, and had forgotten me." The girl gave a sharp, happy cry "We were so young then, dear, hardly more than boy nnd girl. Hut I have, waited nnd waited and now I can hardly believe you have come back? a man!" They drew together and went on up the path. The moon shone brightly. The brook bubbled with delight. The little path led them to the door of the wee stone house. New Year's Eve was the new beginning for two lives. The Passing Years Tears bring a tender satisfaction to one who has lived a good life. The pood deeds one has done will he so many song birds to make sweet mel ody fn his heart. The association of friends will be mor? precious the longer wo cherish them. The con sciousness of growth In grace, the as surance that we are becoming master of onrsejves with the passing years, will add to otir peace when we real Ire that we are growing old. and that <*r span of life la becomlnf narrower. ?**K9Qio<8st Protestant, We Extend our Friends and Patrons Sincere Wishes for % A Happy and Prosperous New Year.
