U. <> m frxg«T—l REALLY am nervous," r | Madge Crowell admitted to herself as she dropped one •'iffr of the ornaments she wss hanging on the Christmas tree. “Well, who wouldn’t be e —Ben has been £I. rlt gone more then five years— maybe he’ll find me changed— that he’ll be disappointed. .. . I —l couldn’t bear that.” “What arc you talking to yourself about r A boyish voice spoke at Madge’s elbow. “Is Christmas having its effect upon you, or Is it the thought of a certain young man who is coming this evening?” “Both, I guess,” Madge answered lightly. Then, turning to her broth er, she spoke more seriously. “Richard, do —do you think Ben will have changed very much—do you think he will like me as well as he used to?” “Well, I shouldn’t be surprised if he ihas become a little bit tanned from 'the African climate, or If he has grown a mustache, or got a bit stouter, but as to whether he will like you as much as he used to—l’d say ‘no.’ He’s bound to like you a lot better, that is, if he’s kept his eyesight.” “Os all the foolish, flattering broth ers! 1 should have known better than to ask you such a question!” But Madge’s eyes were pools of dancing light as she looked at her brother. “Just for such a flippant answer, I’m going to put you at the task of clean ing up all this mess. I—l really must run up and dress; the clock seems to be running a race.” Madge's wardrobe was not exten sive, yet It took her some time to de cide on what to wear. She finally chose a simple blue gown. She remem bered that Ben had always liked her In blue; he used to say that it matched her eyes. . . . But that was long ago; they were both little more than chil dren then. Would he find her as de sirable now as he used to —would his eyes glow with love and pleasure as he looked into her face? Well, she would soon find out; he was due almost any moment now. Her heart pounded as the door bell rang. Nervously she hurried down the wide steps. In a moment Ben was clasping her hands and whispering words that she thrilled to hear. And as blue eyes met brown in a long ten der look. Madge knew that she was going to have the very happiest Christ mas of her life. ©. Western Newspaper Unlan.
