HETTY'S PRESENT.
A CHRISTMAS SKLTCII.
It was the week before Christmas.
The middle of December It generally not
a pleasant season of the year. The air Is
gray and raw; the frozen ground Is not as
yet mantled with the pearl and ermine of
tlio snow fall; the sun sets In a red blur be
hind the shuddering copses; and to all ap
pearances Nature Is still mourning for the
glories of the departed autumn-tliiic.
lint then, lu contrast, there Is something
very exhilarating In the associations of the
season, and perhaps that was tlio reason
that Gilbert Gray's eyes sparkled so bright
ly and that lie whistled a cheery old tune,
as ho came into the ItttU sitting-loom of
the low-roofed house, where there was a
bright fire In the wood-stove .and Hetty
Plover sat at work behind the big geranium
plant.
"Here is your parcel, Miss Plover,"
said lie.
"Oh," said Hetty, "yes my worsted and
patterns. I am much obliged to you, Mr.
Gray, for bringing them from the express
office. Pet haps I shall make something
pretty for you."
Gllbeit's face lighted up; he. Hushed witli
sudden pleasure.
"Indeed, Miss Tlovcr, I"
"Oil, you needn't make such a favor of
it," said Hetty, mi.llciously. "I always
make a llltle trifle at Christmas lime for
every one of papa's clerks.
"Vou are very kind!" said Gilbert.
The thermometer of his happiness had
fallen a dozen degrees at once. Of course
It was very ungrateful of him that the same
fayor which, Individually speaking, would
have lifted hlui into tlio very empyrean of
happiness, has lost its special sweetness
wlicn it came to bcdistllbuted among every
one of "papa's clerks."
After all, what was he but a unit in tlio
number? What right had ho to expect that
he should bo especially remembered? Was
not Hetty Plover tlio very prettiest sirl in
all that Western settlement, which was
called "Ploycrvllle," after her father? the
reigning belle of the neighborhood? Il'as
not George Hcrvcy al that moment hunt-lngfor"velvet-riinnei"
and "princess pine"
In the woods lo help make Christmas decor
ations for her best pallor? And John Mere
dith seeking high and low for clusters of
black-green inItletoe, to hang from the
hall lantern In the Plover house? And
Junius Field carying wooden frames, with
cedar sprigs, for her walls, In the Intervals
of waiting on bank customers? And they
had all been In Mi. Plover's emplnyiiieni
before he had come.
Alas! what chance was therefor a poor
-fellow like himself, who had neither wealth,
rank, nor position to back him? Nothing
but his own honest heart, stalwart figure
and handsome face!
"I was a fool over to allow my thoughts
to dwell upon her," he told himself, as he
wont dejectedly back to the pile of bank
books that were walling to be balanced.
"If, out of the tweet generosity of her mv
ture, she Is good enough to bestow some
trifle of her own workmanship upon uie, I
shall ticasure it always. It will mark out
this Christmas ftom all other Christmases;
but I shall bo even more Insane than 1 am
now to allow myself to be in any way mis
led by It!"
While Aunt Pamela looked gravely at
Hetty from over tho rims of her spectacles
"Hester, Hester!" said she, "why do you
torment that poor young man?"
"I, Aunt Pamela?"
"When you know all the time that you
like him!"
Hetty tossed her pretty head, all clustered
around with soft, ctuly rings of yellow
brown hair; tho bluo e,es, jus' the color of
old Canton china, sparkled roguishly,
"ll'cll and If I do like Iiitn? Am I to
betray every feeling I have?"
"You might at least be commonly civil,"
said Aunt Pamela, reproachfully. "Vou
talk of 'making something pretty" when
you bayc been all autumn working on those
velvet slippers, stitched In arrasene, that
are Intended for him "
"Must I tell him so, Aunt Pamela?"
"Child," argued the old lady, "there Is
reason In all things. Why did you return
from Doctor Crewe's with Junius Field,
when Mr. Gray had come all that distance
for the pleasure of walking back at your
side?"
"I I thought I would." murmured
Hetty, apparently Intent on selecting a par
ticular shade of scarlet wool out of the
masses that lay lu lap.
"Why did you wear John Meredith's
flowers to Miss Hale's party those great
vulgar camellias and leave Mr. Gray's
Kngllsh violets lo fade at home on your
dressing-table?" pursued tho chatcchlscr,
"I shouldn't wonder," declared Aunt
Pamela, "if he coinmlteil suicide ono of
these days in sheer despair at the manner
In which you treat him!"
"Young men don't commit suicide now
adays, Aunt Pamela," said Hetty, with a
little f creed laugh.
Hut the old lady's words had set her to
thinking. She was glad that the velvet
slippers were toheautlful so much prettier
than Jfr. Field's pcn-vvlper or Mr. Her
vey's blottlng-caso or the little whisk-broom
holder thatsliohad worked for young Jlerc
tilth. She wouldn't bang It on the tree
like the rest of the presents. She would
surround II with a Utile atmosphere- of
mystciy. And llien, perhaps. If the gift
ami the manner of giving It pleased hlpi,
id he should speak nut from the fullness
' his heart
After all, If ho really loved her, why did
t he say so? She wondered, with red
dened cheeks ntidprcltllvniched cyc-brows,
ho expected her to fling herself, unasked,
n hi arm. Sim didn't- know vvbal
young men were coming lo, nowadays!
If only she could have known how. In his
secret heart, poor young (illbert Orny was
liging for a word, a look, the mere' aes
lure of encouragement! If she could have
understood how Id hope were dying down
nto cmbcrlcss ashes.
Hut on Christinas Kvo he found a little
the pocket of hi overcoat- He read it
cagcrlv:
"If you want jour Christmas present.
you must come to the Old Mill for it nt nine
o'clock.-!!. P."
His heart leaned joyfully tip. There w as
no mistaking tho pretty, spidery scrawl of
Hetty's wilting n stylo of callgranhy
which, although It would have, proved falal
to the prospects of a bank clerk, was yet
considered quite the proper thing for the
daughter of the hank preslden'. How In
consistent people are In this world, to be
sure.
"Where Is the place they call the Oi l
Mill?" he asked of Junius Field, who was
yawning on his high stool nt the. adjoining
window.
'Have you neycr seen it?" said young
Field. "It's tho old stone ruin down by
tho brook. Miss Ployer goes there some
times to sketch. It used to be the play
room for the Plover children before thev
died, or married, all of 'em. I've heard say
that at Chiistinas time, the picsents used
to be hung up there."
Gllbi'itsaid nothing mure. He did not
even express surprise or chagrin, when
Henrv triumphantly displayed his blotting-
case, and Field exulted oyer his pen-wiper.
He somehow understood Hetty's mcssacc
as conveying an atmosphere of especial
favor. She was wlMbi?, evidently to as
sociate him with tho sweet memories of her
childhood days. How could he be grateful
enough to her?
And as the hands of tint old clock trav
eled toward nine upon that windy, boister
ous Christmas eve, ho inulllcd himself up
and started on his walk to the Old Mill.
Overhead tho pines moaned and rocked,
and seemed to wiing their shadowy hands;
the frozen brook uttered no sound. Here
and there a snow-flake eddied tliiough the
chill air; but in Gilbert Gray's heart the
golden star of the Christmas-tide was flood
ing everything with llghs.
Hetty Plover had finished decorating the
house. She had hung tin the last wreath
of iyy, labeled tho final present, filled the
last red stockings of tho stableman's child,
and put up packages of tea and sugar for
the two feeble old women at tho loll gale;
and now, last of all, she had liuulcd down
to the Old .Vlll, singing as she went, to put
Gilbert Gray's gift on the old wooden
mantel.
How pretty It looked. Would ho bo
pleased, sho wondered. Would he valuo
tho slippers all the more because her hands
had worked them?
It was some time before she had got them
arranged to suit her fancy, and finally she
was startled lo hear tho bell In tlio ylllngr
church-tower chiming nine.
She wrapped her shawl aiound her head
and hull led toward the door; btr, to hci
consternation, the rusty old latch on tlio
oiilsidu .hail settled down Into its socket,
and, let her strive a she would, she could
not lift it up again. -
Willi crimsoned checks and a beating
heart, fche stood listening for the nearer
coming footsteps which she already heard
on the frozen ground outside.
Her litllo lamp burned steadily on Hie
table; there was no sound save her own
hurried breathing.
"What will ho think?" she niiiiiniireil
halt aloud. "Il'hat will he say?"
In an Instant, as it were, the strong hand
of Gilbert Gray had forced up the rusty
latch, and ho stood before her.
Hut, to her dismay, lie never looked at
the pro'ly gift, bo carefully displayed on the
mantle. He saw only tho slight, lovely
llgure, ehiliiking so gracefully to one side.
"JIss Plover HcttY!" he cried. "Oh,
my darling, my trcasutc! was this what you
meant? Do you really love me, Hetty!"
"No." faltered Hetty "yes that ! 1
don't know. Oh, let me enliway!"
"Hetty!"
He had taken her in his arms, but Ids
clasp loosened at her words; an anguished
pallor crept over his face.
Hetty held out her hands.
"Yes," sho said bravely, "I do love you,
Gilbert! Only, only"
"There Is no such ii woid as only!" said
tho loycr. "Het'y,my treasure my Christ
mas gift!"
And in after years, In spito of all her
logic, Hcttv never could convince her hus
band that it was not herself that sho meant
to bestow on him that auspicious Christ
mas Kvo. Or at least so he declared; and
at last she gave tip tho point.
"What does It matter," sho said, "so
long as we are happy! so. long as every
Christmas Is a merry Christmas to us?"
"JcnKtns," said one traveling man to
another one rainy day, "have you got an
umbrella?"
"Yes."
"Will you lend It lo me?"
."No, I won't."
"Why not?,'
"Ilccamo I always like to entertain re
spect for my friends. I'll present you with
this umbrella, and sometime when you feel
like it you can present it back again. Hut
I won't send you into the world with tho
stigma of an unreturned loan hanging over
you."
