False Face

"I shall wrlteand tell him that wy are going down to the cottage at Blerlngstone for A few weeks. I shall suggest that he might like to stay at the inn. we can prom- ise him golf and tennis, and swim- ming; and the use of a speedboat. And I'm saying that he can rely upon a horse, if he cares to rlde."

"That makes my note simplet" Miss Deborah remarked. "so sweet of you to save me the trou- ble of explaining those things. I shall Just say that I hope to en- counter hlm at the seaside. A lie or two, more or less, making no difference at my age, Marcia."

"You had better make up your mind to see a good deal of him," Marcia sald ominously.

"I am doing so," Miss Deborah said. "So sweet of you . to insist upon what is rather obvious. But my intellect. Marcia. Ehows no sign of the clouding which seems to prompt these declarations of yours."

"I think it is unworthy of you to be prejudiced against a man. heca.use'of an affliction," Marcia retorted. with her nose very high.

"I dislike the man because he is in love with you, and is at some pains to show it," Mia Deborah answered. "And I know you well enough, Murcia, to know that you would not encourage him in this fashion. if you were happy in your mind. It is not altogether his strange appearance which makes me dislike him. He is an abnor- mal person. ln many ways."

"He is a very interesting and ac- complished man," Marcia replied. "Anti he is wealthy enough to be above the suspicion with which I regard most men."

"I'll concede that point." Mls Deborah replied.' 'He is fascinat- ed- by you, and in no way concern- ed about your bank balance. And he has won your sympathy, by blurting out the story oi his youth, spent hiding from the gaze of the world. What I want you to say is that it is unfair of you to encour-

age him; either unfair to your- self. or to him."

"He must take his chance, like anybody else." Marcie said de-

fiantly. "I hope you will treat him civilly, aunt."

"My dear." Miss Deborah said. "Lam always civil. in my own way, to your discoveries; and you have made some strange ones. I shall keep my eye on Mr. Smith. believe me."

so it happened. that Peter Mar- chant, on his arrival in England. found that the news of his return to life had preceded him. The 'dis- covery, unwelcome as it was, made his course with Marcia plain enough. l-le lost no time in writ- ing, to say that he had hoped that she would hear the news from him finst. since his intention had been forstalled. he begged the faivour of n interview. so that he might ex- pl in what must seem to her very oufuageous behaviour.

To that letter Marcia promptly replied.

"My dear Peter,- I' was very glad to hear from you at last: though you must not suppose that your little ruse deceived me for one moment. I have never believ- ed that you met your death in Paris; and have always felt sure that you had remained behind in America, to carry out your plans there. '

"I congratulate you upon the success which you have won, and the determination with which you have overcome your earlier ob- stacles. It was a very clever idea to stage a tragic end and a sensa- tional resurrection; though likely to win more appreciation in Amer- ica than in your own country.

"As for the request which you make in your letter. why trouble to explain? When we last met, I made it clear to you, beyond all

Mr. Allan MacKlnnon. the com- petent and oblilgng mall courier on Armadale R. R. 2, was pleas- antly surprised when, waited up- on by more than thirty of his patrons on New Year's night.

The address was Leo Gorman and the presentation was made by Mr. P. A. Cahlll on behalf of those assembled and others who unfortunately could not be present.

The evening resolved itself in- to one of singing, dancing and marriment dueilo several of the guest: having brought their mu- slcal instruments in anticipation. A bountiful lunch followed, which brought the evening's festivities to a close after a most enjoyable time. Mr. MacKlnnon has been mall courier in the district for more than twenty years.

And speaking of Christmas dec- oration do you know that even though you have no electricity you still may have Christmas tree lights? They are almost the same in appearance as electric lights but only eight bulbs to H. string. They run on the power from an ordin- ary car or truck battery and aren't a bit hard on it either (in case Pop throws a fit at the mention of the llkel) Keep this in mind and next year a lot of country kiddies will have a lighted Christmas tree the same us their city cousins have.

"Yes. sir, Reverend," he boasted loudly, "I've got five sons and every one of 'em is successful in his 'chosen pro- fession. In fact, when they were growing up, I told 'em that the first one that turned out to be stupid, I'd make a preacher out of him." "In that case," responded the harried clergyman quietly.

A spokesman for the London Transport board said the bridge had been raised without flashing the usual red warning signal. An inquiry has been ordcr-t ed into the crash,

Christmas music formed the or- gan' prelude, and was followed by the choir singing "Gentle Mary Laid Her Child Lowly In A Man- ger". A lovely prayer was given by Rev. Mr. Sproule and hymn "As With Gladness Men of Old, Did the Guiding Star Behold" was sung by congregation and choir. The Scrip- ture Christmas story was read and the choir sang beautifully "Chris- tians Awakc, salute the Happy Mom".

Prayer was followed by the an- nouncements and offering. whiln the organ pealed the music of "Silent" Night" and dedication of the offering took place.

The choir sang the carol Three Kings of Orient Are"".

The addres was interspersed by the choir singing the carols of each country such as "Silent Night". and "O Come All Ye Faithful". -

A trio of the Misses Annabella Hardy. Lorna Vessey and Beryl Vessey, three charming Juniors of the Sunday School, sang "Away In A Manger”. The choir sang the hymns "Joy to the World" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing”.

The congregation and choir sang "The First Noel" as Mr. Sproule spoke about France, and "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" was sung by the choir. Congregation and choir sang carols, "0 Little Town of Bethlehem". "Once In Royal David's City", "Angel: From
