I Polly and < Mistletoe V-1 By OLIVE HARPER, j " M U ELL, Airs. Li Hung Chang. £■l I believe 1 will." said Polly Adams to a ridiculous china doll that sat on the Chimney staring fixedly before her. It was nearly midnight, and the house ; was still. The Christmas tree stood all decorated and w.tli the gits hung ; upon it in the library, back of the pal lor. and Polly had been sitting beside the lire in her pretty yellow eiderdown i pajamas. Pajamas were a fad that I season among all her girl friends, and * Folly always, as she said, "kept right i along with the pr ice.-slou." Polly was tired, for she had be •: 1 busy aii that day. They were no! rich, ' and so miii'li of the my.u ,::ig dreived upon Polly, and :'*e Hi •*. boys we-e : home from s**h*: d. : ad they bad two ! visiti.. ; , .c.Ui'n tl ! \e\r Year's.

Minnie Blake is engaged, and so would 1 be if only Archie had the courage of a—a chipmunk." she hastily added as she thought of her bare feet and pos sible mice. "Now, if 1 could bang this mistletoe to the chandelier tonight in the excitement of seeing our gifts 1 could manage—l know I c >uld—to get him under it beside me. and the boys would do the rest, and then— well, the ice would be broken. I will if you say so. Why don't you speak?" Saying this, the dainty little beauty stamped her foot, now in its slipper, which jarred the room ever so slightly, and the doll did nod its head. Polly laughed, half startled, but with new courage. She took the night light in one hand and the''hunch of mistletoe in the other, with its grappling wires, and stole downstairs to flic library door and on into the parlor, not noticing that the library door had shut to with the j spring lock. Polly did not wish to awaken any member of the family, so she did not switch on the lights. Her own tiny light but made the darkness visible. It was fearsome down here all alone in tlie dark, so she hurried and pushed the side table over into tlie middle of the room under the chandelier, with the mistletoe on it, and then brought a delicate, long legged, gold painted chair, on which she climbed timidly, listening all the while for a sound. Tlie cUaudeller was high and Polly not tall, so do her best, standing on her tiptoes, she could not reach the fixture. "I must get up on the table," she said to herself, "and 1 hope I'll not fall and break my neck and rouse the house."l Just us this very courageous little ! maiden stepped to the table with one i foot, while the other was still resting oil the insecure chair, there was the found of a latchkey in the front door ! and then a blast of wintry wind and two voices in the ball. They were those of her oldest and most unbear- ; able brother Fred, and the other voice belonged to Archie Steadnian. Tt was too much for Polly. It would be awful ; if Fred discovered her. She tried to step down from her in 1 i ecure perch, but the treacherous orna mental chair tilted,and Polly came down Muldenly, striking her head against ; tlie table. She was too frightened to ; feel the hurt, for the noise was great ! enough to startle Fred into saying: "What's that? Burglars, I'll bet. Come on. Arch." Saying that, Fred bounded forward j and switched on the light and. seizing , a heavy cane from the hatrack, sprang into the parlor. But Polly had manag- j cil to get on her feet and scamper to ; the library door, dropping one of her slippers as she went and leaving the ; lamp behind her: but. try as she might, she could not open the library door, and stood there pulling with a strength born of desperation, while Fred said: "Burglars! Here's the light. They're after the gifts on the tree. Come on!" Willi his cane swinging like an In cian dub. Fred sprang into the library, while Archie, with Ids umbrella, fol lowed. and bo h advenred noon the I' * rg'ar: They could Ie- *r die rattling ol' the tl *vrkiiob, and Fred homed: "You rimy as well give up. Yir.c. ; ! caught!" Ami then tin? library was also 11 io >d Willi light, which whs ivflectcd I'rotu • thousand gilded ornaments on the troo. and by llio illumination Fred an I Archie saw a iniscrab'e litt;<■ ligtire in yellow pajamas, huddled up like a cold duckling, with one h ire foot and with i its head down, in the corner of tlie < 1 >or • fiame as though trying to hide. From her baby days l'oily had had a (piecr habit of hopping from one foot I tlie other witiioul moving from her j place when frightened or angry. Nov | one slippered little foot anil one pink | bare one kept , up I lie familiar hopping j movement. Fred looked at tlie culprit a moment ami then sprung forward and. seizing one shoulder and the long 1 braiil of hair, turned her around to the t lislit. while the miserable girl covered j., Iter face with her hands.' Fred laugh • ed loud and long, saying: | "Well. I'll be jiggered if it isn't | Polly!" Ar. hie aid nothing and- was 'ryir - 1 > pretend tii it ho did not kuov any tiling ai all until lie saw the tear streaming through the lingers, and the i ! lie ri'd hotly: "I-re *. lam ashamed of you.

"Well, i suppose she em't help be ing a little fool," continued Fred, laughing (-till. "Sir, another such remark concern ing this ang ah. your sister—under the circumstances will sever our friendship. Pol- Miss Polly. I have your present here. I was going to give it to you tomorrow, but under the present circumstances I shall ask il' you will accept it now and here, as with it you will have a protector." With a malevolent look at Fred, Archie fumbled iu all his pockets until he found a small box. Then he reach ed for one of Polly's wet little hands. Archie looked very imposing to Polly, and little by little her sobs ceased, and i by the time he had opened the box she could see Ihrough her dimmed eyes that he had a ;-peril solitaire ring for her—one to make the heart of any girl proud, and one in keeping with his wealth. So she even smiled a little as Archie, with one last look of defiance at Fred, placed the sparkling ring on the proper linger and then folded her in his arms proudly and with a look of ineffable happiness, though Polly did look something like a noble squaw. < liriKtiii:!M With 11?" The whole affair lias the character of what wo should call a mystery piny, the dramatic action representing the tight of the sun god to return north ward from his home in the mountains. Malevolent genii are trying to drag him back, while friendly divinities aid him in the struggle. He wins, of course, and comes back to Moki Land to warm the earth with his rays and to cause it to smile with fresh har vests. When those harvests are ripen ing in the following summer the snake god. which controls the water supply so urgently needed in that arid coun try, must be appeased by another cere mony specially devised for his glori fication, the principal feature of which is the famous snake dance, concerning which so much has been written.— American Family Magazine. CfarintninN I'omt Card*. The favorite Christmas post cards have very little room for writing. The entire back of the card Is covered with a "Madonna and Child" by Murillo, Raphael, or. to come to more modern times. Gabriel Max or Bouguereau. The coloring is most artistic, and these cards are quite worth framing as little works of art. Some of these Madon nas—for instance, the Raphael "Ma donna of the Chair"—are framed in a wreath of glowing holly, which con trasts vividly with the colors in the Rovian scar!' Hung over the back of the chair. Other subjects are to bo had in these truly artistic post cards, notably portraits of fair women by Romney and Lely.

An odd incident of the last Christ mas celebration in St. Louis was the breaking of a month long fast by James Harrington, who had been in custody two and one-half years on a charge ol murder.
