"Wait until you see my Christmas
present," exclaimed pretty" Cecil Ray
to her two intimate girl friends, Maud
Webster and Flora Vane. "I expect—
well.I hardly know what, from father's
aunt in New York. I know she will
make me a valuable present, because
she said when I came away that I
might expect to hear from her at
Christmas."
"Is she very rich?" asked Maud.
"Oh, yes, awfully so. Her husband
left $200,000 or 1300,000 when he died
twenty years ago, and she has not spent
half the income since."
"We will call to-morrow night, Cecil,
and see how you have fared," said
Flora.
."Do. The parcel will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and if I can control
my curiosity I will not open it until
you come," laughingly replied Cecil.
Cecil proved to be a true prophet,
for on the next afternoon an immense
packing box, addressed to Miss Cecil
Ray, was deposited at her door, and
she signed the express book with a hand
shaking with excitement.
"What can it be?" cried her widowed^
mother. "I do hope it is something
worth while, for it seems as If we were
badly enough in need of everything
necessary or comfortable."
The oover was removed from ths
box, and Cecil waited impatiently for
her friends to arrive. At last they
came, and the small bundles, one after
another, were taken from the box in
which they had been carefully packed.
Most gingerly these were opened.and
in speechless surprise Cecil laid the
contents of each upon the table, until
the hox was emptied.
Then the five pairs of eyes became
riveted upon the collection, amid a
silence that was louder than trumpet
tones.
"Here's something you did not see,"
said Tom in a sepulchral voice. lie
had to speak that way or. expiaile f?\
laughter, and he djdij't ^a.nt 'to. hurt
his sister's feelings. Poor Cooil! This
>yas wjiat the not? ho handed hor said:
My Dear Cecil; Tou remember I said once
that you," Bright look for a gift from me at
Qliris'tmas. I hope j-ou will be pleased with
What I havo sent you.
You know I havo many other relatives "who
hx>k for gifts from me, so yours cannot be so
Valuable as you deserve.
Yon rememher saying to me once that yon
d,|d not cave for money, but would rather seek
your own fortune than to receive ono from
sonic ope else.
Hoping you will enjoy these shells from
foreign lands, all of which were brought me
by my husband in Ms youth, as much as I
have, I send them to you with this injunction:
Never part with them, but let them descend to
your children's children.
Give my love to your mother and brother
and—seek and find j-our own fortune. Your
loving aunt, HTJIDAH JANE JONES.
"So much for your independence!"
from Tom.
"What a conceited little fool I was!
I hadn't tried earning my own living
then, and did not know tho felicity o.f
rising at 5, find vs'p,r.kiflg. "all d,ay from. ?
{6, 6 ffjr. the riiagnifioent sum of §5 u,
week!" sighed the little seamstress.
•'•What shall I do with them?"
On the dinner-table were five dozen
of these common, speckled brown and
white and yellow and white shells
everybody's grandmother used to have
in the good ohl days \Tnen Salem and
Sew Bedford were seaport towns in
truth.
"Give them to some museum," suggested Flora.
"She  can't   give   'em   awav,"
Tom.
" "Tlier.e*-s rqom   in   the   attio,"
Pari,   prying  ta 'smile  through
fears. of disappointmont that filled her
oyes,
"May I take them for a few days?"
asked Tom, and was at once appointed
sole custodian of the useless thing's.
Sext day a cool little note of thanks
was sent Aunt Huldah, who smiled oddly when she read it.
One of an extremely eccentric family, she distanced the"rest in queer actions.
At the end of a week, when Cecil retired to her modest little chamber at
night, she was surprised to see quite a
pretty cabinet hanging on her wall and
containing the despised shells; the
shelves were encircled by fret-work in
an original design by Tom, composed
of various sea plants and animals, in
which appeared this legend: ■
"Pride goeth before a fall."
"That's why the gig-saw * has been
worked so late the last few niglits,"itVs
Trjm, yoit rogue?"." sqid,' 0e$il nexf
morning, pinching, his ear.
i '-'.'Y-es-^i thought such gems of ocean
should have an appropriate setting."
So, in making a joke of their disappointment its bitterness passed away.
Early in March Huldah Jane Jones
was gathered to her fathers and
mothers. JTo will was found, and as
no property beyond a few thousands
at sundry savings banks was found, it
was supposed she had given away the
bulk of it during her lifetime., as. §hfi
had often said was h.Gr intention!'
"The biting winds of her poverty
were tempered to that shorn lamb,
Cecil Ray, during the winter by the
attentions of a young professor of
natural history, who boarded in the
house opposite.
What did she care if her gloves were
old aud thin when returning home
from lectures or prayer-meetings, if
her hands were closely prisoned in the
ulster breast pocket of Charles Raymond, while his tender words sent the
blood coursing warmly through her
veins?
Neither did she care any longer that
their parlor was small and shabby;
that their best lamp gave but a faint
light and the only comfortable seat in
the room was a large easy-chair drawn
up to the little grate fire. Love and
youth laugh at poverty, just as they
alwavs did and always" will, thanks\to

to make the evening a pies
and to make Cecil forget the

casioned.
Looking around the room, which he
had seen but once before, he remarked
on the beauty of the design on the
cabinet containing the gift of Aunt
Huldah, and so Cecil told him the
whole story. Mechanically placing one
at his ear, as the children do, he said:
"I never saw a specimen of the luponia
tigris in which the sea song was so
nearly mute."
"Perhaps the original inhabitant has
not moved out," laughingly replied
Cecil. "You may perhaps find his
mummified remains in there."
"I believe I have," he replied,closing
one eye and squinting- into the narrow
opening'with the other. "There's
something hero, anyhow. Please lend
me one of those useful hairpins with
which a woman can do so much, and I
will see what I can do."
So saying he bent the hairpin she
gave him into a long hook.
"I go a-fishing," said Cecil, watching
him in languid content from her easy
couch.
"While lam poking about in the dark
in here," said Charlie, readjusting his
hook at a new angle, "lie there and
poke fun at me."
"There, old fellow," he cried,-as the
hairpin caught on something moveable. "Come out here and show yourself!"
So saying, he picked out a dirty
green-looking wad,which he proceeded
to examine. Smoothing it out.he handed it to Cecil.
"Would you mind. Iqoking at what I
have found?" ho quietly asked.
One! look told the story to Cecil, and
with a bound from her sofa that nearly
sprained her well ankle she waved the
bill wildly aloft as her mother entered
the room.
"Mother! Mother!   A $500 bill!"
Great excitement prevailed, which
the reader can imagine. While mother
and daughter were congratulating each
other upon their good fortune and
Cecil was thinking that now she could
change her "no" to Charlie into, "yes,"
he handed her another bill, the result
of-patient prodding and poking, of the
game denomination!
Then the professor said there was
nothing like system in every tiling. A
table was drawn up to Cecil's sofa and
every blessed shell placed upon it, and
each of the three armed with a hairpin
or two patiently worked over those
sixty shells until 2 o'clock a. m.
At 2 o'clock every shell had been
emptied of its hoard, and the result
was §60,000 in bills, ranging in value
from $50 to §500 each.
Poor eccentric old Aunt Huldah had
gone to her grave misjudged. Her
niece bitterly regretted that chilly little epistle which had been read with
much amusement by the queer old
lady.
Afterward it was discovered that
she had given nearly all her money td
various charitable works in her life;
time, and Cecil was the only ''i^larivij
who ever profited 'tyf' her;- inin^e.nsg
fortune. ' '" " ' " '"
• ^rW.ohde.r if slip knq.\y.s: J hava at

said Qecft the next day, wheu after
some hours' rest they were discussing
her windfall.
"Let us hope she knows more than
she ever did here," irreverentlv replied
Charlie. "The old idiot! Nothing but
luck pure aud simple ever found that
money for us."
After a pause: "2fo—perhaps not
luck. If I hadn't had my ears trained
to the closest observation of natural
objects I should not have nqtioed that
the wave pounds, were much" fiiintaV
than usual in that shell. So perhaps
science was baek of the 'luck.'"
"That was not the first time that
wealth has deadened the voice of nature," said Cecil, seriously. "Let us
take care that in our lives wc listen to
the prompting of loving hearts. In
this pile of bills I see a wedding journey next month"—a rapturous squeeze
from Charlie—"with all the belongings
for a bride of modest tastes, a happy,
quiet life for dear mother, and lots of
fun and good cheer for some of our
less fortunate friends."
"Amen!" cried Charlie. "Peace to
the memory of Aunt Huldah Jane

"THE ROCKY   MOUNTAIN  LIMIT-
ED,M AND "THE BIG 5."
Two  Grand Trains Daily Between  the
■World's Fair City and the Foothills.
The popularity of "The Great Kock
Island Route" as a Colorado line—it
having long time since taken first place \
as the people's favorite between tbe
Lakes and the Mountains-^-ha.-. compelled the management to increase its
present splendid service by the addition
of a train that is one night on the road
from Chicago to Denver, Colorado
Springs or Pueblo. This train will be
known as the "Rocky Mountain Limited,''' and will be put in service May
first. Leaves Chicago daily at 10:45 a.
m., arriving at above cities iii the
afternoon of the next day, earlier than
any of its competitors. Especial equipment has been built for this train, with
the view of making it a limited in
every sense of the word, and best of all,
there will be 110 extra charge. The
route of this exceedingly fast train %
by the Rock Island. Short Line., aiul a,
few of tbe large cities through which,
ft passes^ are ■jpayeripp.r.l, £}e.s Moines,
Gouneil Bluffis, Praafea, Lincoln, Ben-
trie, Bairbvir.y, Belleville, F-hillipsburg,
Srai% Centre, Colby and Goodland.
This makes it a most desiriible route,
and particularly interesting to the
traveler. Another point: The popularity of our dining-car service is still
on the increase, and no money spared
to make this service what our patrons
always say, "the best."
Our "Big o" will continue as usualv
leaving Chicago at 10 p. m., and arriving at Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo th.e sep.qnd morning, being but
one day ant, and this fast and popular-
train goes through Omaha.
Our No. 11 will leave as heretofore
at 6 p. m., arrive at Kansas City at 9 a.
m., and will reach Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo the second morning.
Our Colorado service is made perfect
by this new "Rocky Mountain Limited'' and the "BIG 5," and givesto the
traveling public TWO FLYERS DAILY.
Manitou passengers should qousult
the map and time tables of our line, to
fully appreciate the advantages in time
saved by taking this route, when on
their summer vacation.
