'I lie midnight henven Is full of UrIiI The lender light of countless shirs: still tip the west the late moon throws Her silver rays.

A deep calm wraps the o.tken wood, Tho wide groen field" show faint and dim The thousand tender insect thrill Blend to a hymn. Faintly I trace each garden walk. Beset with many a dusk-veiled doner, I see no hues, hill feet their breath Ami own their nn'er.

Under the Mistletoe, Margaret Watner stood before." the nilr- or, a frown upon her usually calm, tm- rnllled brow. Yes, there was noileinins , no slii-inklun away from the fact; there lay the llrst real footiulnt of tlms, gleaming white amiil the tiesse.s of nut brown hair. She felt sonicllilns clutching at her heart, a great lump rising in her llmul, anil a moment more the tears she. strove to repress filled her eyes. Margaret w as an old maid. Xlne and thirty, yes, foity on her coming birthday, and It was not far off. She was not a foolish woman and her teats fell, not because age was creeping on and the dark braids would whiten soon, hut at sight of the silver streak something within whispered: ".Margaret, youth Is past; the joy, the sorrow, all are gone." Illtter- swecl memories crowded upon her, and she bowed her head within her hands and sobbed. After a moment she summed coinage and plucked the offending thread of sllycr from among Its fellows. She laid it ttuoii the white marble of the dresser, and then across the sleeve of her dark dress. While, snowy white. She looked again in the mirror, acaiininc her face closely. She was fair and comely still. Her complexion might have been that of a babe, It was so delicately smooth, and her eyes weie as blue ami bright as ever. Vet, though sho found no ylsllilc sign of decay, the woman sighed. Then she drew from her bosom a locket suspend ed by a tiny gold chain. Touching a spring It opened and she gazed wistfully upon two faces pictured there. One was a girlish face, winsome and fair Margaret In her youth; the oilier a youth, handsome and not over twenty, ahe pressed It to her lips, to her heart, and allowed her tears to fall unchecked upon It. Whatl Margaret, an old maid, and In loyo still? "Koslc must not see me In tear" ahe murmured. There was the sound of an opening door, the echo of footsteps in the hall, and smart patter of footsteps upon I lie stair. lioIft was coming I Margaret had only tliiin to thrust her treasuro again Into Its hiding place, when the door flew open and a young girl entered breathless with excitement. Her hair had been tossed by the wln.l and fell in waves over her shoulders. A rich ted glow was upon her check and her eyes wercspaik ling. She threw herself upon a chair with utter abandon and tossed a pair of skates which she had been exercising upon (for it was frosty outside) upon the floor. Then, noticing .Margaret's tear-stained face, she sprang toward her and wound her aims closely about her. "What Is It, auntie? Why are you sad? Tell mo what has happened," "It Is nothing, dear. 1 am a foolish old maid, ami it an came of mis ugly gray hair," and Margaret took it from Its place upon the coushln and held It up for Inspec tion. "Dreadful I" cried Hoste, with uplifted hands and a comtc look of sympathetic honor upon her face. "We will look over tho whole list of hair dyes and prepare our selves to color each one as It makes Its ap pearance; but guess, do guess, auntie, who Is here." "I am not good at guessing, you know, and how could I tell which one of your numerous lovers is again in the field. "For shame, auntie; you know I haTe, but one. loyer now. It's Hal's father. He is here at last. 1 wonder what he will think of me?" and the girl gently pushing Mar garet aside, placed herself In front of the mirror. "Kow, auntie, I'm going to take an Inventory. Put it down and see how It reads. Height, Ave feet, figure slight nd trim, brownjialr, bluejeyesjbroad forehead fair complexion, pink cheeks, mby Hps- Am I right, auntie?" "Quite correct, my lore." "Hut the nose, auntie, the nose; that troubles me; It is tlio one unruly member it will turn up. I'ye half a mind tn try Amy s plan and put a clothes-pin on It- You remember Amy In 'Little H'omen.'

"William," she said calmly as If the ut terance caused her no effort, "you will let me welcome you to my home again; ana Kosle," here sho turned and drew forward the blushing girl who was seeking shelter behind her lover, "itosie has been eager for your coming,"' Then they tat down: tho four satliercd around the bright tire, and talked of common-places; but at last the conversation d ill ten into oiner cuanneis, anu men tney talkcd ef old times ia old friends.

There were cvsrgrccns and holly with shin ing leaves, twined into garlands, but the mistletoe was to loun the Lover's Arch. Now. remember, Harry said, "who ever goes under it must pay tho forfeit."

"Auntie Isn I Hcrsclt, ot late she seems so abstracted." said Itosie. Sho stepped backward as she said this, and stood diicctly under the mistletoe. Quick as a flash the Major had snatched a kiss from Her pretty lips. Margaret entered again just then, and Major Colo became so embarrassed that the laugli was U)on tne omcr siue. "Father Is renewing his bayhood again," said Harry. Later on when the others were, engaged elsewhere, Margaret, returning to the pal lor for something, noticed that a part ot the mistletoe had become disarranged. She could scarcely touch it when standing on tlp-loc, so sue mougut a low stooi, nun, reaching up. replaced it. The work was just completed when the Major entered. Margaret was looicing uer sweetest, sue was flushed with excitement, and her dark blue dress, with Its finish of soft white lace, was very becoming. She was indeed a tempting sight, which the Major could not resist. He went toward her, and suddenly grasping her hands, said with more energy than was his want to throw into his tune; "Margaret, you ate directly under the mistletoe; may I claim Ilia forfeit?" The blood rushed into bar face, then re ceded, leaving her whlto and cold. She would have drawn back, but ho held her (irmly where she stood. An augry flush mounted to her check, "How dared lie after all after all that had been," Hut the Major either could or woild not see, and drawing her closer, yet keeping her sfill under he magic mistletoe, gave her a hearty kiss A ringing laugh from the doorway, and Harry and ltosle rushed in with evident de light expressed upou their countenances. "Oh Auntie, if only you could be per suaded to take pity upon father's lonliness; he needs some ono like you," said ltosle; and Harry took Margaret's hand that now lap cold and trembling In his. The Major stood silent. How could be tell her that be loved her had loved her all through the years past and gone? He had caused her pain then, and could she believe him now? Perhaps she had not quiteforglvcn his unreasonable anger which had patted them. Margaret was drooping as the lilly droops from the storm, but forlier it was a show er of memories. She looked up and their eyes met. Perhaps be read there the secret she had striven to hide. The years fell away one by one. He was a youth, she was a fair young girl. He loved her.
