Lost in the Snow. Christmas ovo It was a good old-fash ioned Christmas eye In Now England. Tho snow was falling softly but rapidly, the short afternoon was early darkened by tho storm. Oycrhead stretched n canopy (if steel cjray clouds; underneath tho white flakes had already spread a deep, thick mantle oyer Held and road, and hillside. Hero and there, sole landmarks, the guant trees stood up black against the sky; n6th lng else remained to indicate the pathway, tho fences having almost disappeared under the deep drifts. the scene was utterly solitary until two ilsuics appcared.on tho lonely road. They wcro JUlss idle Lawrence and Eueene Tal bot a handsome couple enough, for Etllo was a pretty girl, and In her scarlet hood and cloak looked a very attractive little lady, and Sir". Talbot was a city man, well dressed and welKbrcd, considered well favored, though Efllo did. not half think him so, which was ungrateful on her part, for ho avowedly admired her. Talkins; was not,vcry easy work.but presently tho young man said: "Do you know If it wero not for you 1 should go back to New York to-night, so as to bo at tho great Llylngston dinner party to-morrow?". 'Pray, do not let mo prevent you," re plied Efllo quickly. "I can go home qulto well nlono." "Oh, but I would rathe;' bo with yoa. Miss Lawrence, than at any dinner party that can ho given." Efllo did not reply to this, and prcsriitly Mr. Talbot said, wjiat indeed ho liadlsaid twice before, "Won't yorf tako my arm, Miss Efllo? I think you will get on better If you do," "NO, 1 thank you, Jfr. Talbot; Lshall do very well alone." They walked on a littlo way In silence, Efllo hurrying her steps. Then Mr, Tal bot asked, "Why aro you in such haste, Miss Eflle? I should llko toTiroloii!; the pleasure of t fits walk indefinitely." 'Von havo a singular taste," replied Miss Efllo, with a laugh that was rather forced. "I think tho fircsldo preferable to tho storm on such a night as this." Thcro was another pause. Miss Efllo was beginning to wish heartily that she was alone. She had only known this Mr. Talbot for a week, and no one In tho vill age knew much about him. Ho bad come from New York on business, with a letter of introduction to the father ot Koso Grey, her intimato friend. She had met him at their house, and ho had been perfectly de voted to her from tho first Introduction. All this was very nice. Efllo was just a bit of a flirt, and she had encouraged him to bogln with, just for the fun of tho thing, and because It would teaso Tom Allen, her old and faithful admirer. Of course she liked Tom better than any ono else, and meant to marry him, but Efllo had been reading some foolish novels of late, and had como to the conclusion that it would bo very tamo to marry Tom and nover have another oiler; and so when Mr. Talbot be gan to pay her some attentions, sho smiled upon him, though sho saw well enough how wretched It made poor Tom. But within the last two days sho had grown to bo afraid of the result of her own mischief. Thcro had been something In Mr. Talbot's manner that sho had not half liked, and this afternoon, when ho had come Into tho Greys', she had prolonged her visit, hoping ho would go. until It was too lato for her to daro to stay any longer, and now sho did not at all fancy tho pios- pect of a solitary walk of a mile ln length with him. Talbot oyldcntly had no inten tion of negtccting his opportunities, for ho said presently, ln a sentimental tone. "Ah, Miss Eflle, you aro cntctly com monplace In wishing yourself at homo. Now I could bo happy anywhere by your side." Eflle gave lilm an amused glance. "That is great nonsense, Jr. Talbot. Ono's situation must always make a differ ence in ono's happiness." "A differcpee, to be sure; but the one thing that could really affect my happiness, would bo your sinllo." Efllo was annoyed at this foolish speech. It had dawned on her already that Mr. Talbot thought her a "green country girl," who would bo easy game, and she resolved to show herself not so readily to be luim buggerl as ho might havcsupposcd so without directly replying, sho said, "Jfr. Talbot, wo uust really hurry; It will be a dark night." Hut he was not thus to bo silenced. Ho canio nearer to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Efllo," he said, "don't let us pretend to not understand each other, I love you, and! flatter myself that I am not Imllffer cut o you." There was something in tho conceited sinllo that accompanied theso words that made Efllo iqtonsely Indignant. "Let rao so, Mr. Talbot," she exclaimed, "How daro you Insult me?" "Now, Efllo, why affect to be cruel? Il'liy strugglo against fate?" "It never was Intended, Mr. Talbpt, by any fate, that I should listen to such fool lsh talk," said Eflle, fairly out of patience. "The best tiling you can do is to go back to the village, and leave me to go homo alone." "Well, but Eflle, I was suto you loved me" "Then you wcro utterly mistaken," she said coldly, "and don't call mo Eflle." "And you will not listen to my suit?' "No, norenduro you presence," she rc plied, and abruptly turned away from him. They had been standing during tho latter part of tho talk, sheltered somowhat by a clnmp of overgrcens. Now Efllo turned out Into tlio road again. Mr. Talbot called out after her once, but sho did not turn. "She's a littlo spitfire, anyway," ho murmured. Then aloud, "JWlss Eflle, Miss Eflle, I will go homo with you. If you arc afraid." She turned nt once, her eyes flashing like Are. "No, Mr. Talbot, I am not afraid, l'ray do not bother yourself on my account am much better off without you. Good evening." She hurried on again. Ho looked after her a moment, and then, with a shrug, turned oack toward thc-vlllagc. These last words sounded very resoluto certainly. Ho must have made a mistake, Efllo was wiser than ho thought her, and his ttmo for the past few days had been very evidently wasted. Musing thus ho walked on, and then a sudden thought struck lilm. Why should he not go back to Now York, after all? Ho had only decided to stay In tho country on the chanco of Improving his flirtation wllh Effle, and If that was a failure ho had much better go and spend Ills Christmas in the city. With this thought ho pulled out his watch. He could just mako out, In tho dim light, that by hurrying ho might catch the last express train. So ho made tho best of his way to tho hotel, gathered to gether hastily his effects, and rushed off, leaving tho landlord aslaro at tho unac countable suddenness of his movements. Hu was just in time to reach tho train, and scarcely half an hour after he had parted from Jflss Eflle, was whirling past her hotiso on his way to New York. Meantime, the young lady ho had left was plodding on through tho storm, and her thoughts wcro not yery pleasant com panions. This man had insulted her this seemed very cyldent. There was noth genuine In his tono. He had said nothing aoout marriage. Did he think sho was so weak as to tolerate such Impcrtlnency? Oh, where was Tom Allen dear old Tpm, who loyed her so deaily, and longed to mako her his wife? Tears camo into her eyes, and she was sorry enough for her foolish coquetry. Absorbed In such reflections shchad gone on some distance without paying much at tention to her way, when a sudden tut n ln the road brought her to a standstill. Sho looked about her with dismay; sho was on tho wrong track. Sho must have, taken the wrong turn at tho evergreens, where she parted with Talbot. Just there tho two roads met, and lu the excitement, bo- wlldeicd by tho storm, she had gone down' the road leading to the next town, instead of tho ono on which stood .the house, tho bonis of her widowed mother. What should sho do? Go back! No; that looked such a long al dreary way; and ln an evil moment Eflle decided to go across tho Holds. With soma difllcully she made her way to tho fence, cllmcd oyer It, and went plunging on oyer the trackless w. It was not much worso thau In tho road, but the snow was driving right In her fico now. fc'ho held on though, manfully, nothing daunted, for some distance. Hut the night grew rapidly darker, tho cold In creased, and by tho tlmo sho reached I ho second field, Efllo was fairly bewildered. Still sho tramped on, until shu was sud denly brought up by a high stone wall, It loomed up before her out of the, daikucss, black, with siiuw tufting it here and thcro, and a groat snow cap on Its summit. Now for tho first time, Efllo was disheartened. That showed sho was wrong In tho direc tion sho had taken. It ran at right angles with the road she had left; sho ought not, therefore to have conic to It. Thcro was nothing for her but to follow It along until she camo to tlio next fence, which sho knew must be tlio ono on tho road leading to her mother's house. Tired, cold, breathless, she reached It at last and began to climb it. Tho suow was very deep now. It was hard for her to hang on with tier numb hands, and some how, when sho reached Ihn top she slipped and full. A sharp pain shot through her ankle, which was bent under her. Sho staggered to her feet, hut each motion was aso'nj", and after a few feoble steps she sank down with a cry of pain. She had received a scyero sprain, that was evident, and fuithcr progross unassisted was out of tho question. As Ellto now realized this her courage fairly gavo way. She drew herself a little back Into the corner, wrappced her cloak over her, hid her faco down lit her muff, sobbing bitterly. She was well punished for her coquetry. Sho had mado Tom miserable; perhaps lost him forever and for what? Only to bo insulted and deserted by that conceited fop. His conduct had been unmanly; first In In sulting her as ho had dono; next In leaving her, under any circumstances, to go homo alone In tho night and storm. Tom would not havo dono so ! No, no matter what sho might hayo said to him, ho. would not hayc left her thus. And now thcro was no tell ing what might happen to her. Tho road leading to her coltago homo was very lone ly very littlo used. Thcro was scarcely any chanco of airy one coming aloug it to night, and how could she llyo through all these hours of datkness and cold? Sho looked up despairingly. The sccuo was by no means reassuring. Tlio night had come on with pitiless cold. Tho frosty snow-light enabled her to sco down tho do sorted road. It was completely trackless. Tho icy flakes swept In her face, and tho long wind sounded with mounful cadence over tho dreary fields and through the leaf, less branches of the trees. About an hour after Efllo had left Mr. Grey's, thcro cama a ring at the door, and Tom Allen camo ln the brightest, picas, antost fellow lu tho village, and a general favorite; Koso greeted him cordially. All these young pcoplo had known each other from childhood, and there were but fow sccrccts among them. "Why.Tom, how are you? What brought you here on such a night as this? I know you did not come Co tea me," said Hose, with a gleeful laugh. "I Icaine," replied Tom with asud' den blush, "to walk homo with Kflle, If sho Is hero." "With Eflle? Why, sho left here an hour ago." "What-alono?" "No with that Mr. Talbot, of course." "But ho has gono to Now York." "To New York I Oh, no, you must be mistaken. He could not possibly havo walked ro Mrs. Lawrence's and hack In time." Tom Allen had grown pale while tho young lady spoke. "Hose," ho said, "aro you sura of what you say? Mr. Talbot has certainly gono back to New York. 1 saw Efllo como In hero early this aftornoon, on my way to the ofllco. On my roturn just now, 1 heard that Mr. Talbot had rushed off to Now York In a hurry, and I thought I would come on tho chanco of finding Efllei and take her home." "It Is very strange," said Kose, "It was almost dark when thev went away. Wnat time did Jr. Talbot start?" 'He took tho six o'clock express." "And they left just before flye. I asked Efllo to stay all night, but sho refused." Tom was already putting on his coat again, "Thcro Is something strange in this." ho said. "Lose, I am going over to Mrs. Law. renco's at once. That man could not hayo loft her alono In tho storm. Could she" "Could she what?" asked Kose, looking at Dim in alarm. "O Tom. you don't mean to think that sho has gone with him?" "I don't know what to think," ho ans wered. "I only know that I shall bo very wretched until I llnd out what It means, I inust go atonce." Then lu answer to her appealing look, "Yes, I will let Jyou know what I fiiidout," and he hurried away from the house. Allen's rapid strides brought hlui.ln splto of tho storm, to Mrs. Lawrence's cottage, In a wonderfully short time. His summons at tho door met with a quick response, tho lady opening It for him herself. "Oh, Tom, I am glad to sco you." Thea peering out Into tho storm, "but where is Efllo?" "Efllo Is not with me," replied Tom. coming Into the houso and following her into tho cosy sitting room, "Ihatlsyery strange," said Mrs. Law rence. "Then I suppose sho will slay at Grey's all night, but I did not expect to" 'Sho Is not at the Greys' " Allen ans wered. And now, as Mrs. Lawrence looked at him, sho was struck with tho strauge ex pression of his face. His worst fears had bfecn corroborated by not finding Eflle at home, and the anguish of his hoart could not but look out of his oyes. "What is It, Tom?" asked Mrs. Law rence, anxiously. "Where Is Eflle?" "I do not know. Sho left Mr. GroVc about five o'clock with Mr. Talbot." "And you did not pass thorn on ihe road?" "No," thou with an offort; "Mr. Tulbot has returned to New York." You do not mean that you think Kill" went with him?" she said, very slowly. "Mrs. Lawrence, I do not know what to think," groaned Allen. "Efllo is not hcic sho Is gouc. Where is sho?" "Not with him, Tom, not with him! I'm sura of that," cried tho lady eagerly. "Sho has stopped at soma of the neighbors' or returned to tjrey's. No, Tom, It cannot bo that sho would leave mo so." Then In a moment sho said almost wildly, "You must find her, Tom. Sho cared for yon; sho did not llko lilm. Thcro is 8oinostran::e mystery; but, oh! my darling girl would not desert mo so cruelly." Allen was half convinced by her energy. I will do my yery best to find out about Hal once," he said. "If she Is In the neighborhood I will discover her; if she has really gono with him, some one must kuow It." Then followed a brief and earnest con sultation, Mrs. Lawrcnco suggesting such places as KItie might possibly havo gono to, and then once inoro Tom went on his way, this tlmo armed with a lantern. Out Into the night again, tho red alow of the lantern casting strauge gleams across the suow and lighting up tho flakes for a moment, as they passed across Its radiance. He had plunged on with a fiery eagerness for some half a mile when a faint sound caught his car, like the distant sound of Ids own name: "Tom! Tom 1" Ho listoned a momeut. Was It a fancy? No, it came again muffled but louder. "Tom! Torn! Tom! Help me! help mo! Toml" . Ho know the rolco now, and cried out, his heart bounding with eager delight, "Where are you, Eflle? Eflle, my dar- lingr' "Here, Tom, under the snow." Hu was by her side, presently, and bend ing down over tho drift that contained the tittle form ho loved so dearly, She was all covered with snow, so completely that ha would neyer had seen her, oven In the day time. "O Tom! Thank God you hayo como! I saw you after you had gone by, but could not mako you hear. I hayo been watching for you overslnco." "Jfydcar littlo girl!" "Yes, Tom," and her arms wero around his neck now, "I loyo you so much! and you will forgive me for flirting with any body clso?" "Of course I will, my dear. But how came you hero?"' "Ho Insulted uic, 1 droyu him away and tried to como homo alono, but I fell and sprained my auklc. I can't walk and, Tom I'm afraid you will hayo to carryjrae." "Carry you? To be sure I will, you dear little child." And so presently ho set off, bearing his recovered pet In hU arms, Eflle carrying the lantern. It was slow work travelling thus through tho snow, but they reached the cottago at last, and then what a ro joicing there was, and what a merry Christmas wai next day, when all met at Groy's and EfHe and Tom announced their engagement as a sequel to the story ofl how they wero lost In tho snow.
