MARNIE

(Continued.) j Mr. Methven had not seen his daughters during all the three years they had spent abroad, although he had twice gotten as far a3 England in his Journeys to visit them, when he was recalled by urgent business. So he was scarcely prepared for the great changes the years had wrought la their appearance. Mrs. Methven on the other hand had been with them constantly, both while they were in school in Brussels and during their subsequent travels. This with the exception of three months their Aunt Ilattle had spent with tbem. during which, knowing the girls were in good hands, Mrs. Methven had gone home to see her husband. "Jove!" said Marshall rapturously, in an aside to Mr. Methven when Doris and Marnie were eagerly looking out of the carriage at the familiar sights, and chattering the while like magpies. "It those girls don't create a furor among the the gilded youth of thi3 town, I miss my guess." Mr. Methven smiled with fatherly pride. "They are a bit young to go out much," he said. "But even though they are my daughters, I must pronounce them a stunning-looking team."

CHAPTER XLVIII.

It was Christmas morning and Marnle and Doris arose bright and

earlv: for besides Inspecting their

own gifts, they had lots to do.

Marnie had brought presents from

abroad for Mrs. Weber and Miss Leavitt and Bertha Baker, for she had by no means forgotten her old friends in her prosperity. Indeed

she had occasionally written letters

to all of them, but she had not apprised them of her intended return

This mornlnsc she meant to visit

the asylum and surprise them. Mrs Weber was still the matron of St

Luke's, and on Christmas Miss Leavitt would be sure to be found there, although she was no longer the regular asylum teacher. As for Bertha, she had outgrown her right to live at the asylum, (she was now past sixteen) but the directors had

taken pity upon her on account of

her helpless condition and allowed her to remain. In return for this consideration. Bertha made

herself as useful as she could to Mrs.

Weber.

Of course the first thing for Marnie and Doris to do, when they arose

this bright Christmas morning, was

to look at their own presents. The

girls both received unlimited books and trinkets and Mrs. Methven gave

each of her daughters a handsome necklace from her store of family

Jewels. Mamie's was of priceless

rubies, and that which fell to the

lot of Doris was of pearls. Marnle thought that her cup of happiness was about full, but she found later that there was still more In store for her. "You have not seen my presents yet," Marshall announced after Doris and Marnie had admired and exclaimed over their lovely things. "They were rather large," he continued, "and I could not bring them into the drawing-room. In fact you will have to go outside to look at

them." "What can they be?" said Marnie and Doris in the same breath. "Follow me," said Marshall. Down through the kitchen he led them and thence out under the covered way that connected the house with the stable.

With all the fine reports emanating from the wl?wam of the Wabash team concerning the condition, speed and general behavior of the team. Michigan has at last sat up and took notice and are now working- nights preparatory to sending a team to Indianapolis. Coach Yost has had a string of lights put around the field.

This Is certainly getting more

and more Interesting every minute,"

aughed Marnie. "But wait until I show you!" de

clared Marshall in great enjoyment of the girl's perplexity; and so say-

ng he rolled open the stable door. The daintiest little automobile

that ever wa3 constructed and bear-

ng the inscription "Merry Christ

mas to Doris," confronted the girls and the sight of it caused Doris to go up to Marshall and put her arms about his neck and hug him in her delight, while Marnie expressed her approval of "the machine" by enthusiastic remarks such as "Did you

ever see anything so trim and ship

shape in your life? See how the varnish glistens and look at the dear

Ittle lamps. Oh Marshall! However

did you think of that?"

"It struck me as rather a neat

dea," replied Marshall, really a little

puffed up by this onslaught of de

lighted approval. "But why don't

you say anything about yours Mar

nie?"

Mine! I had forgotten there was

anything else in my excitement over the beautiful automobile!"

Then Mamie's eyes fell upon one

particular box-stall, all trimmed with

green pine-boughs and holly berries;

and enclosed within a wreath of the

holly, was her name. A whinny

floated out through the foliage and

a handsome head, followed by a

graceful, arching neck, was thrust

forth.

He wants you," said Marshall.

"He knows you are his new mistress. See him look at you! His name's

Pegasus and you can call him 'Peg for short." Marnie hardly knew whether to take Marshall seriously or not. She looked doubtfully first at the horse and then at the young man. "Oh Marshall, Is that beautiful horse mine?" sho asked faintly. "Why not?" said Marshall smiling.

Marnle's power of speech quite forsook her. She went up to Fegasus

and caressed him gently. The hand

some animal gave another low whinny of content and rested his

head upon hi3 young mistress' shoulder.

This mark of dumb affection was too much for Marnie. She put her arms about his arching neck and

burled her face in his mane to hide her tears. It seemed to her so foolish to cry when she was so pleased, but she could not help it. Doris had

gone back to her automobile and Mar

nie, looking at Marshall through

dim eyes, held out her hand.

"I never know how to thank you Marshall," she said as he took her hand. "You are always doing such

splendid things for me and I never can think of a word to say. Don't

think me ungrateful."

"You could not have thanked me

more prettily," said Marshall.

Pegasus was, in truth, a wonder of

his kind. oCal black, he was with a

slender, graceful body and a long

tail to correspond with his flowing

mane. Marshall had remembere

that Marnie disapproved of "docked'

horses as she considered the custom

a species of cruelty. As she ha

never owned a horse in her life be

fore, this one was doubly welcome

Doris, on the other hand, had had

a number. One of hers was now on

the farm, where it had been kept since she left for Europe. So she

was quite as much pleased with her

gift from her "brother" as she stil

called Marshall, as Marnle was with

Pegasus.

Marnie, however, would not have traded her own live horse for a stable

whose erection had been given by Mr. Methven in thankfulness because the old one had sheltered his child for so many years. Mrs. Weber, a bit gayer and trifle stouter than she had been when Marnie had seen her last, did not for a

moment recognize her former charge, coast.

Morrison as "Mephlsto" in Faust became a standard. This condition was enhanced by tho fact that there were two Morrisons In the field and both playing Faust, each essaying "Mephlsto" in the cast. One was the Louis Morrison of this chronicle, the other a distinguished actor " also, said to be the greatest heavy

!man as tragedian the American stage

had ever seen, supporting in his day all the celebrated leading artists. Ills stage name was Lewis Morrison, his right name being Morritz W. Morris. He passed away at the age of 70 or thereabouts In Yonkers, N. Y., in 190t, and was lamented by all who knew him, both as a man and an artist professional. - During both of the years 1896 and 1894 a wordy war was engendered between the two Morrisons In the New York Dramatic Mirror, which caused considerable amusement, as it was charged that each was endeavoring to steal the other's thunder, when the right to the name of Morrison as a

birthright was proven by Louis Morrison, as also, the foregoing right name of the late Lewis Morrison. Intelligent persons of the entertainment profession, who keep posted on current events, remember this controversy well, which ended amicably after all, and both kept on, each giving1 a finished performance of this great, education and allegorial production, Mr. Louis Morrison simply renewing the almost unbroken series of former seasons. Mr. Morrison will be seen at the Towle opera house, Thursday night, Oct. 17.
