L J Behind the smiles lurked WMM uushed tears- Wnen the last youngster had van ished down the suow-cov-ered trail, Bernlce leaned her head against the win dow frame and the hot, rebellious tears flooded her soft gray eyes. How Bhe hated this far' western country, with its crude ways, its dowdlly dressed women, its unpol- lshed ness ! men, and, above all. Its lonell It was all so different from New England and yet she fled from Massachusetts to hide a heartache. "There is something wrong with me," aha sighed at last. "It can't be the country or the people they are kind and generous it's the way I feel 1 How can I cure the ache and the homesickness for things that may nev er ber No answer came to her out of the swiftly falling winter twilight. Perhaps the knowledge that a wed ding was taking place in Boston at that very hour confused her reasoning powers. The man had' ceased to love her and she had offered him his free dom and he had accepted it, and so, being without near relatives, Bernlce had found a position out here in Mon tana. This was her first Christmas In Rocky Gulch. After awhile she locked the school house door, and with the children's Christmas offerings in her lunch has- 'Merry Christmas!" All Three Said Unison. in ket, the lonely little schoolma'am set off down the trail toward the Tucker place, where she boarded. It was snowing hard now and the trail was rapidly disappearing under the white blanket. In the deepening gloom dark shapes appeared, approach ing and receding, but they proved to be the pine trees fringing the steep slopes. Far below, the lights of the town gleamed through the darkness and then vanished, and Bernlce, plunging out of the path to avoid a deep drift, took a wrong turning and soon ac knowledged to herself with a fright ened sob that she was lost on the mountain In a raging blizzard. Hours afterward, she sank exhaust ed at the foot of a pine tree and drop ped her head on her outstretched arms. "I will rest for a few minutes," she murmured drowsily. Down in the town Mrs. Tucker waited supper that Christmas eve un til nine o'clock. Then, little Willie Tucker sleepily announced that Mrs. Halliday had Invited teacher to spend the night and eat Christmas diaper at the Halliday ranch. Chiding Willie for his tardy information, Mrs. Tucker hastened to the telephone and called the Halliday ranch ; but the wires were all down, and so ths anxious little woman decided that the teacher had been unable to send word about her change of Christmas plans, and went about the trimming of the Tucker Christmas tree with renewed activity. Bernlce opened her eyes in the liv ing room of a warm log cabin. Gay Navajo blankets hung from the walls and covered the broad conch on which she reclined before a blazing fire of hickory logs. Two men were bending over the fire ; one was atlrrlng something In a bright tin saucepan, something hot and teaming which he poured Into tum bler and brought to her bedside. "Hello !" he smiled. "Awake are you! w a- Ckrissa Mackie Drink this mess and tell us how It all happened." Bernlce smiled back Into a bronzed face that Inspired Instant confidence. He was young, with very blue eyes and very brown hair. Bernlce obediently drank the steam ing mixture and snuggled down In the blnukets and went to sleep. "I wonder who she is, Jim," said the last comer. "She came to us out of the storm a little snowbird," murmured Jim But ler. Billy Smith smiled shrewdly. "Little Snowbird will be missed on Christmas eve," he said. "Some one is probably looking for her now, so don't set your heart on ber, Jim." Jim laughed softly. "Oh. get out, you old Idiot 1" he grinned. "Can't a chap sentimental ize a bit on Christmas eve without your getting silly? I. was thinking it will be a sorry Christinas for this little girl, and this blizzard looks good for all day tomorrow !" "Ssre thing so I'm going out to cut a Christmas tree for her," said Billy struggling into his heavy coat. "You're an angel," laughed Jim, get ting out an ax. He had never seen Bernlce Avery before the moment when he had stum bled over her snow-covered form. He had carried her to the cabin three miles up the mountain and given Billy Smith the surprise of his adventurous life. James Butler was a timber expert In the employ of the government and Billy was his right-hand man. Suddenly the door opened and Billy stnggered In, powdered with white ness, carrying a small, symmetrical hemlock tree. "Our Christmas tree for the kid." he sil solemnly. "Good," chuckled Jim, and they set to work. It was Christmas morning when Bernlce awoke again. Dimly she re membered the events of the night and when full realization came upon her she sat up In bed and looked around. "Dear me, how horrid I feel !" she yawned sleepily, and at that Instant she snw the Christmas tree and her eyes popied wide open. The little tree stood on a tahje near the fire, propped with heavy stones. Strings of popcorn festooned It and there were puzzling tinseled orna ments nuts covered with tinfoil. There were a Mexican quirt, a pair of gayly beaded Indian moccasins, a roll of Navajo blankets and some apples and oranges. "I wonder whose Christmas tree this Is," marveled Bernlce. The sun was streaming through the windows when Jim and Billy knocked at the door and entered In response to her call. They had arrayed themselves In their best garments and they glanced expectantly from the girl's shyly smil ing face to the gay little tree. "Merry Christmas!" all three said In unison, and then laughed In gay friendliness. "It looks so Chri8tmasy In here,' said Bernlce: "I'm afraid I've stum bled upon somebody's Christmas tree.' Jim laughed. "Oh. that's your tree!' "Mine?" she stammered. "Yes It was Billy's idea your be ing away from home and everything. These are just trifles we had around the house. Please don't cry!" he pro tested as tears filled the lovely eyes of his guest, "But you don't know how beautiful It is," she sobbed. "I wss hating Christmas this year I was so lone some and everything!" She told them how she had disliked the West, not dreaming It could hold such kindness, and In return both men became very gruff indeed and Billy sternly Insisted upon her coming out and eating her breakfast of cornbread, bacon and coffee. Jim said nothing. but his eyes were eloquent It was late afternoon when the storm ceased so that they could put on snowshoes and set out down the trail toward the Gulch, Bernlce hugging her precious gifts close to her heart "Ifa the happiest Christmas I ever had," she told Jim, with eyes all ashlne. "And yon don't hate the West and its people?" he smiled. "No, Indeed!" "Then perhaps yon will like It well eaaugh te stay here always!" he blurted, and then In a psfnic of bash fulness he dashed away from the TnckerVfront gate, leaving Billy sole witness to Bernice's blushes and tell tale eyes. ; "Well have another Christmas tree next year we three and It won't be any accident either," predicted the guide shrewdly. Billy's prophecy was fulfilled, and Bernice's happy Christmas was follow ed by many more In the country which she learned to love because Love had really sought and found her there.
