And this was unusual for Clare. Everett seemed glued to the sheet before him, but Clare, determined not to be the Ice cracker, waited and hoped that sometime, somehow, some thing would happen to force him to look up and speak to her. She liked this good-looking, earnest-working chap In spite of his utter indifference, and just had to steal a futile glance at him occasionally. It was Christmas eve and not a word had passed between them. He was still oblivious of her presence. Early In the afternoon . Clare put away her things and was putting on her wraps when some one questioned : "Leaving us, are you?" "Yes, the boss .is lettirfg me off to finish up my Christmas shopping. "Shopping! hopping !" almost shouted Everett Moore, looking up, startled, and for the first time, catch ing Clare's eye. She felt her cheeks flame. "Say, are you going Christ mas' buying, Miss ah Miss " "Reynolds," she replied. "Yes la there anything I can do for you?" "Well, I should say ! I had forgot ten, really. Could I trot along with you and get you to help me make a couple of purchases? I never know, what to buy for a woman." Clare's heart was beating1 wildly. "Sure, I'll help you. I rather like spending somebody's money." Out they went together. The sharp wind whizzing around the corner sang a joyous tune to Clare. Everett held her firmly by the arm and deftly guided her among the busy late shop pers, and within a very short time a floor lamp for his mother and an atom izer for his sister had been decided on and ordered delivered at once. They then went to a tea room for re freshments, and there, over the tea cups, they really became acquainted. It was hard for Everett to leave her, but she had problems of her own to solve and time was getting short. Christmas morning a bunch of red roses with a note attached from Ever ett was among Clare's most highly treasured gifts. The. note read: r "From an admiring friend. Why didn!t we know each ot)ier Jong ao?" And Clare also wondered why. Lily Rutherford Morris. .(, 1927. Western Newspaper' Union.) The Postman Was Loaded With a Burden of Love T I TELL, John Tracy, you look like VV old Santa, himself!" called Postmaster Briggs t John Tracy, the veteran mail carrier of the Heights section of Midbury. "I not only look like one but I feel decidedly so, for a funny thing hap pened today !" Tracy's face was wreathed in smiles as he walked across to his locker and dropped his cargo of mysterious looking packages within. The gang was all curiosity, but lie kept them guessing while he took his time locking up the steel cabinet and seating himself for a moment's rest.. "My customers," as he always' termed his patrons or the community which he served, "planned a job on ' me. They appointed a committee, I understand, to interview every family .on my route; They asked that every one refrain from mailing one thing tills morning, that I wonld be empty handed unless it a present for mc. For a eoi'ide of blocks I didn't know what to think, but at almost every house I found a. package for me, and . then I began to get wise. So to make a long story short Pcarrled nothing back with me but things addressed tc myself. But, Brigg, it sure was a' burden of love I. Oos!i, I didn't dream folks thought tint much of only THEIR POSTMAN !" L B. Lyons. (, 1027. Western Newsoaper Union.) t5 K LI' me New r .urmture $ ' .
