"Krdy, vtliiil arc you thinking of?"
suiid Mr. Dilkes, Id u-qtiely. Fire

Itc had come in from tho barnyard
with two foaming palls of milk and
n liberal powdering of snow on his,
fur cap nail heavy beard, and us lie
et iho pails down on tho buttery In

Have you got I lie butter nil print

packed, mid the egg luid down? I
shall hi.vc to make nil early stun to
morrow morning, nud there's every
prospect of a snow blizziid.''
"It's nil ready," said Kathleen, sotn
brel y.
Mr. iJiikea Inincd short arouud and
looked at her.
"Kh? What's the innlter?'' sn'ul he.
"They're not going to invite me to
the party at (iriggetl's !'' Iho girl aii-
wi red.
"They ain't, eh? Why not? I guess
you'ro us gootl-lookin' as any of 'em,
and as good, too !"'
"I couldn't Ii.lp ovei hearing Mally
'liggctt and Jo-ie Kirke talking about
it when I went after the mail to
night," said Kathleen. " They had just
(rot their letters, and I was waiting
for a chaui'c lo get near ih,. mail win
dow, and there was a pile of dry-goods
boxes between mo mid ihcin. Mally
said why wasn't I asked!' and Josic
said because I never leluriied any of
the iicigbhorhood part ic. It was all
take, she said, with Kathleen Dilkes,
nud no (five. And it was ipiitc true,
iiuelo."
Mr. Dilkes moved uneasily in Ids
chair.
"Wo ain't party-giviu' folk?," said
he.
"Then I oughtn't to go to parlies,"
letoilcd Kathleen. "And I don't soo
that I (hall any more, Nobody will
'k me."'
Wei', I wouldn't mind," soothed
Mr. Dilkes. "It', all folly and non
sense, anyhow."
Kathleen's lovely bluo eyes (lashed.
''I don't think it's folly and non
sense,'' said she. "I want to go. All
Iho young people but mo are going,
and I'm tired of drudging and work
ing the whole (into without a bit of
fun."
Mr. Dilkes was silent. lie tipped
his feet against an uneven brick in the
h".'iith and stared at the tire.
Kathleen rame closer to him.
"Cucle," said sho, "can't I have a
Twelflh-Xight parly?-'
"Non'onse !" growled the old num.
"It wouldn't cost much!" pleaded
Kathleen, "I'd make all the cake
myself, mid I've saved enough out of
my share of the chicken money to buy
sugar and lemons. And my dress
needn't cost anything. I could dim
rvcr my white bunting, with a link'
new ribbon. May I have a Twelfth"
Night party, iinrle?-'
Mr. Dilkes rose suddenly to bis
feet.
No," said he, "you can't! And
there's nn end of it!"
Kathleen said no mure. She was
used to her uncle's moods, and knew
that there was no uso in striving
against them.
Ft ut half that wild, stormy winter
night sho sobbed silently on her pil
low and rebelled Against fale.
Faily in Ibe gray, frozen daybreak
Mr. Diikes rose, ate the hot breakfast
of sausages an I rofl'co and fried po
tatoes that Kathl-on had ready fir
him, and started off for Cone City in
his red euttee, snugly lined with buf
falo robes and pa ke I cloiu with llio
produce of bis farm.
lie had scarcely been gone an hour,
when nil unexpected guset nn ived at
the house Miss D.irothy I'm pie a
li lend of Kat.il"cu's dead mother and
a distant cousin of herself.
Oh, Mist Dorothy!" ciicil the
gir'.
And to her faithful bosom .ho cm
fjded all her Innibles.
It was so nice to have lomo one to
talk to!
"Hut (his won't do," said Miss Dor
othy Purple, viewing the well-shod
toes of her pretty feet as she wanned
Ihein at tl.e tire. "You can't bo shut
up here like u lark in its cage. You
must go out like other people. I don't
wonder they bave left orT asking you.
You must give little companies, too.
Otherwise you'll be left like tua an
old ju.i'd."
And Miss Purple's bright black eyes
sparkled merrily.
"I'll talk to your uncle nbout it
when he get home,'' said sh
"It won't be of any use!" sighed
Kathleen.
At noon, however, the depot hoy
came plunging through the dri fis with
a telegram.
Mr. Diikes had beard fioin his
brother iu Pennsylvania, who had hud
some sort of accident, lie had decid
ed to go directly to him for a few
days.
"Kally," said Miss Dorothy Purple,
waving a very pretty pocket handker
chief nbove her liea l, "this is provi
dential interposition."
"What?" cried Kathleen.
"We'll have the Twelfth-Night par
ty r.ow," laid Mi-s Purple. "Write
your invitations at once. Send 'cm by
the depot boy. Don't you see there's
no lime to be lost? I'll help you with
the cake and coffee, and I know u
grand recipe for ice-cream."
"Ice cream!'' gasped K'lthlccu.
"Why not?'' said Miss Purple, with
a binj-like lip of her head. "There' e
plenty of ice anil snow outside, and
plenty of cream in your milk-room.
We can have kisses and mottoes, too.
1 know how (o make 'cm: and I shall
want a lot of spruce and hemlock
boughs lo decorate the rooms!"
"I can git 'em for ye!" said the de
pot boy, displaying teeth enough for
an ocelot.
And as soon as Knthleeti had caught
her breath, tli ; proceeding began iu
good earliest.
"What will I'nclo Dilkes say?" cried
Kathleen, as they stood icady on
Twelfth Night, nil dressed, with the
supper table spread in the big kitchen,
temporarily transformed into a bower
of evergreens, and the big parlor de
nuded of its carp -I and bedecked
with wreaths of princess pine and
clusters of scarlet holly berries, whilo
'liijck .lack Blackmail' with his lid
die, and little Hilly Nickliain, willi his
clarionet, sat waiting for the arrival
of tho first guest.
"O, I don't care what lie lays!" said
Mtis Dorothy, audaciously. "You
don't happen to know, do you, child,
that twenty years ago, before you ha 1
opened those big blue eyes of yours
on tho wickedness of this world, he
used to ho a beau of mine?''
''A beau of yours! 1'ncle Dilke.sl
Why didn't ho marry you?'1 ipiee
tioncd Kathleen.
"lie didn't ipiito ask me, Kstty.
You see, in those days, before my
blessed father went into Mexican sil
ver mine speculations. I was Miss
I'urplo of Purple Hall, and he was a
poor toting fanner, lie didn't like
to bo thought a fortune hunter, I sup
pose. Well, timet have changed.
I'm poorer; he is richer; and we arc
both wiser; I only tell tho story to
prove to you that I'm not in any wny
afraid of Harmon Dilkes. There
comes a sleigh full of people."
The Twelflh-N'ight parly was a
brilliant success. The ice cream was
a surprise; Iho siiow-inouulaiii of a
cake developed a series of iho most
astonishing c Heels; the mottoes made
no end of fun, and the dancing held
out until long nflcr midnight.
Suddenly in (he niiiNt of a wild
Yirginia reel, the door opened. Mr.
Dilkes stood (here, fur capped and
collared, liko Santa Clans iu a
tableau.
lilack .lack sawed the fiddle strings
with his bow. Little Dick pulled bis
cheeks out over the clarionet like one
of l iphnel's cherub; the dancers
flew by, and only Miss I'urplo saw Iho
snow-slrewn vision.
She closed the hall door, and met
Santa Clans fare to face.
"Ilariuon !" she uttered, gently.
"Why Dorothy Purple!"
Pxactly," said the liille old maid.
"I've count to visit you. Kathleen
has male a party in my honor. If
you liml a word of fault, I'll leave the
house loiiiirhl."
"I! Fault! D irothy," breaihlessly
cried the farmer, "if you were the
queen I rouldn'1 feel more honored.
I I Oh, Doioibv!"
idie laughed a little hysterically.
"Then you haven't ipiito forgotten
me '. '
"I. ink here, D irolhy you ain't a
rich grandee no longer. I iiin I afraid
In speak my mind to ou, as I once
was. Iliil yn, '. f just as pretty us ever.
Dirolhy, l r thy! nhul's to reveiil
y, ur statin' heie for good i.ud all?''
His brent h runic rapidly, his eyes
sparkled. ay jes, Dorothy! I've
heeu in love vtilh you ail llieso yean.
I'll be a g mil husband to you if "
Drothy Purple caught his hand
gaily.
"Come,'' nhc cried, "dance down
the Virginia reel with me as you used
to do!"
"If you'll say yes, Dorothy."
'Yes!'' sho cried, iu a sort of exal
ltd ion. ")uiek, Ilarmou tho music
waits! '
And the eyes of the whole country
side were amused by tho unwonted
spectacle of old Harmon Dilkes swing
ing down the Virginia reel hand in
band with Miss Dorothy J'urple.
Kathleen looked on astounded.
Mack Jack nearly dropped hi fiddle
bow. Hut the old man was llectest
and nimblest of the lot, nud when at
last the iuuii: stopped, he turned in
front of the big I'uepiace and faced
them all.
Friends," he cried, breathlessly,
"I'm glad to see you every one, and 1
hope this is only tho beginning of ti
lot o' good limes! Don't go yet. I've
got something to tell you. I'm going
to be married to this lady here," hold
ing lightly ou to Miss Dorothy Pur
ple's hand, "and I want you all to
come and dance at my wedding this
day mouth. No, Dorothy, it ain't no
use deiiioiistt ating. And if any of
tho reet of you have any notion that
way, I'd advise you to speak it out
this merry Twelfth Night. Matri
mony 's sort of iu the air just at this
season."
"If that's the rase," said Young
Manly, the sijuiii's son, stepping
boldly lo the front, "I'd like to give
notice that Kathleen has half promised
tonight to be my wife."'
"And I've come to terms with Jose
phine Kirk," cried John doeelyn,
waving bis bat. ( bio weddiu' makes
many. Three beers for Mr. Dilkes
and Miss Dorothy Purple!"
"Well, Katty," said Miss Purple,
when the last chime of sleigh bells
bad gone joyously away from the
door, "your unelo didn't scold you
nflcr all.
"Scold !" beam .'d the old man. "I
am too happy ever to scold any one
again. I tell you what. Katty, you
may think that young Manly fellow
is very line, t ut there ain't no young
chnp iu a radius of twenty miles from
here as is half as well pleased ns I l)J
tonight. Count here, Dorothy. I've
got Katty in one. arm, now I want
you in t'other."
Dorothy canio with promptitude
and snugged up lo his butternut. col
ored left sido with eyes full of happy
laughter.
"Hut there's one thing you're going
to be disappointed about, Harmon,"
said she.
"I'll?"
"I'm an old maid," said Dorothy,
"but I'm not a poor one. We had lo.st
our property when wo sold Purple
Hall and went away from here. Hut
father buii! his fortunes up anew out
Wesi. I can bring you twenty thou
sand dollars for a marriage portion."
"I don't care," said Dilkes, "if it
was twice as much, I couldn't love
you no dearer. Money ain't no draw
back to toe."
"Why, uncle," laughed Kathleen,
"that ain't the way other seoplo talk !''

Alexander with terror and dismay.
The (wo armies watched each other

large elephants bearing strong towers

himself was borne upon an elephant
of unusual height, probably as large
, as tin' famous ".luiilho."
, Alexander moved his forces to tho
attack, and poured iu a shower of
1 arrows and spears. The elephants
stood liki; a stone wall, trampling the
I'oot-soidiers beneath tin ir heavy feet,
seizing l hem iu their trunks and de-
( livcring them lo the soldiers upon
their hacks, or tossing them high in

the main hope of King Portia, and
perceiving Ibis, Alexander directed
men a mcil with scythes nud knives
to attack them. Tliee warrior

bears and rabbits, although bow lin-y
