A SIDE from some noted criminal . V-prosecutions 'which I conducted XjLsereral years ago, the incident which I -ani abdut to "relate was one of the most interesting chapters in my- pro- fMMinniik-life. 'It had been a stormy- veniber day. ' During the morning the rain had come down in torrents. Toward noon the water began to crystallize as it ;de scended, and aH afternoon the snow had been ;4lo wing .ad drifting in a very un comfortable i way. . U grew dark early. Teihaps it was because of this that I de cided to go home an hour earlier than usual. I say perhaps, because I have al ways thought that uroviaence had some thing to do with my going out on to the street at that moment. Passing up Broad way I turned into Fourteenth street to cross to the elevated railroad- station. Near the corned t Rencountered a crowd of men and boys; in 'the center of which st bod a bluecoafwith "A prisoner. Stand ing on tip-toe' I6aw ; that the prisoner was a youug lad; jith a remarkably hand some face and gentlemanly manner. A call had been sent in for a patrol wagon, and the policeman '. was waiting the re sponse. The boy looked thoroughly frighu ened. As 1 reaches tne spot ne was pr testing his innocence and begging to U released. "I tell you honestly, sir, it is a mistakd I kriow nothing of the jewelry. 1 am .11 nocent. sir:-1 am,-truly." , "That's all jight, you young rascal, the policeman replied: "Nobody that's ai rested, ever steals anything.- But whe we eet our clutches on 'em they don' generally turn out such innocents as thei claim. Just then, the patrol wagon dashed uri two officers "alighted, and the boy wa quickly hustled up the steps of the wago and driven off. "What station?"' I asked as they drovi off toward: the south. .1 here was no r ply, but by walking rapidly in the dire tion taken by the officers I Boon:brougM up at the Mercer street station, where, 1 an attorney, I soon obtained an intervie with the lad whose face Bad so greatl: Interested me. When I was shown to h cell he. was weeping bitterly, end appea ed to be in absolute dsepair. "I saw jou at the patrol box," I said by way of introduction "aad, thought I would like to find 4out a litfflel iore. about your case. I am a lawyer; and if you are in nocent, as I think you must be, I will see what can be-done to pet you out of this. My name is Lawson, what is yours?" ' "Franki Orr," he said promptly, as a wave of j-ratitude and hope swept over his face. ' Then he 'added: . "This is very kind of you, sir. .The whole miserable business is a mistake. ' I never took' a bit of the jewelry;. tot a bit." Then I sat down on the cot beside Frank and asked him to tell me all about his trouble. -. . . . 'His home was in"Western .Vermont, he said, and he had -been in New York about a year. He had come here to get a start in the world; While his success had not been all that his fancy, used to paint it, yet, 'considering the hard times,, he had done very well. Once a month he had been able to send a little money to his mother, who needed his help sorely. For six months past he bad been employed in the shop of a manufacturing jeweler. That day twenty y salable rings ..and some oth er articles bad disappeared from a show case. They were missed just, after the noon" hour.' During that-hour the -workmen were always out at lunch, and Frank and another young man -named I,ereh were usually in charge. But to-day Lerch was sick at home, and Frank. was in the shop alone.- . ' ;.4i "Did you see no one about the premises during that dour ' 1 asked. -"No one but Hogan the janitor, :.Sf, "Was he in the room?" - : "No, J am sure he was not." "Did you see him at all between twelve 0! one? 'l i"?Av . "Yes," said Frank, "he came to the rear door and called me to go back and look at a team of fine horses in the alley." "How long were yon out of the room?" (asked. ;- i, "Not more than tW minutes." ; ; ' ''"Could a person come from the front hall during that time without your know ing it?" - i"No, indeed,".Baid young. Orr, earnestly; "I locked' the door before I ran out to look' at ibef . horses." ' :: . ,..." .-. . - "Then if ll'e jewelrj- wasctaken while iKon., were iii.,cliarj;e .it, could ,hav,e been f taken- by -.no one hut yourself," I said "somewhat' sever-oly;-t--ee What effect the -conclusion, would' have oil thernrisbner. .?'Itok"ttad- foMrtnej sir 'especially 'as viit ui nit k.uo n &vuuu.m. ... j . v. m!3wCSSf soniS frnathing,',!,d l9rf7bafriiiyowfio- theorj upon which Jthe. twnhiiM8eTi)rine(i" ; .

When .the case came up at the Jefferson Market police court next day I secured an adjournment. Then I went to work vigor ously to hunt down the thief. I started out on the theory of Frank's innocence. Then, it was clear that the janitor could not himself have stolen" the goods. He might have had' an accomplice, however, who may have been concealed somewhere in the room, and carried off the jewelry while Frank was taking his two-minute view, of the horses in the alley. This thief might have dropped the ring into Frank's pocket so as to point suspicion toward its owner. My theory proved correct. A guarded talk . with some people living near the home of Hogan, the janitor, made me ac quainted with his character and habits. What I learned was not to his credit. I also came into possession of the fact that he had been seen the previous night at a Bowery saloon in company with a fellow named Tingle, who had done time at Sing Sing, and who was now under surveil ance by the police. I went to the saloon named, but learned that the men had only been there a few minutes earlier in the evening. - " ' j.

It was now noon of the day before Thanksgiving day the day towwd which Frank Orr had been looking forward joy fully for many weeks!"" But since his un just arrest he had abandoned all hope of going, and a message had been wired to his mother, announcing that unexpected circumstances would prevent his being there. "Now, off for Vermont," I said as we came out of the court room together. "You will not have much time to lose, but you can make your train and reach hnrnp !n time for dinner vet. Come back as soon as you can," I said, when we parted, '"and come straight to my office. No more work in a jewelry shop for you; Orr." - : In this little sketch I' have told you of the remarkable - circumstances under which I became acquainted with my pres ent law partner.. 'The neat sign over our office door now reads: LAWSON & ORR, ATTORNEYS. ' - . Frank Orr has spent many pleasant Thanksgiving days since he-cam? to New York, but he still declares that none have been half so delightful as the day he rum bled oyer the sno.wclad hills of Vermont, ran-up the old: Iane under the apple trees, greeted old Nero with a shout that woke the echoes, and burst into the dear old svhome just in time-for dinner.

E have every reason for believing that our forefathers celebra te d t h e i r first- : Thanksgivings Day .. with heaven's blue dome for a roof and the brown earth for a floor. , They had been successful in their efforts to found . homes for them . selvo in the wilder ness, and their hearts-were full of gratitude. In the mercies they remembereu they forgot the fearful hardships they had endured, and' when tlie mellow Indian summer -f 1621 came they felt themselves moved by a fervent desire-to thank God publicly in a general way for their improved position and the measure of comfort granted. y "Our harvests being rotten in," says the record of Edward Window, "our Gov-, ernpr sent four men fowling, so that we. misht, after a special manner,- wjoice. together. THe four in one day killed as much fowl, as with a little help beside, served the company nearly a weefc.'. At ; which time, among other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming among us, among the rest their greatest king, Massasoyt, with some nine ty men, who for three days we entertain ed and feasted, and they (the Indians) went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our. Governor and. en the Captain (Myles Standish) and others. And al though it be not always &o plentiful with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish ypu partakers of our plenty." - Being such a sternly religious people, probably the Pilgrims aimed at repeating in this somewhat prolanged open-air fes tival the Biblical Fea3t of the Taberna cles, which includes the Feast of the "Harvest of the Ingathering." It was evidently a hearty, healthy public play spell, a few days of much-needed re-, joicing and good cheer. ! We moderns, with our luxurious taste, would not have much gratitude for the short commons they called "good cheer," but even we might hav2 approved of the wild turkeys, which tradition tells us sometimes weighed sixty pouqds. There were also wild geese i 1 their season, and as one writer assures us, "over 200 varie ties of fish, including shellfish." Love for the latter seems almost i gift of heredity ! with New Englanders. . The relish for oysters is undyingT and a3 for clams, the rule still prevails at the annual clam bakes on the seashore that a feaster must eat till the pile of emptied shells in front ! of him screens him entirely from view. For several years there were occasional appointments of especial days to return thanks for certain meiciessuch as "a re freshing rain which had fallen in time to revive the crops perishing from drought." In 1068 colonial records of Oct. 28 say: "The Court, taking notice of the goodness of God in the continuance of" our civil and religious liberty, the general health we. have enjoyed doe conceive that these and other favors doe call upon us "for returns of thankfulness.' Then, remem bering only ., the , mercies and forgetting the horrors and sorrows which have beset them and the famine that almost came, the proposal is made that all unite to keep the 25th of November as "A Solcmne day of Thanksgiving, with respect to God's goodness in the particulars above men tioned." - There are no more records of Thanks giving days till 1680. Then another lapse till 1690, when Nov.- 20 was appointed. All these, celebrations were in Plymouth Colony, 'and' probably the bitter expe riencesthat visited the struggling settlers made fasting fake the place of feasting and prayers of agonized entreAty for. the safety of lives and homes seem more ap propriate than praise and rejoicing. Then the Indian attacks were an ever expectant dread and the starving point so nearly reached that, as the legend tells us, on the day the Lion sailed into' their harbor with provisions five grains of Darched corn were dealt out as -the ration for each member of the little strick-J en oana. .j;.-. . ; v b' In 1030 a day of thanksgiving was ap--4- pointed in. the Massnchdsetts Qjlanj-l(w acknowledgment of. the- safe arrival of . . .... - , i i ,, i manv sniDS. ne aews-.u, says Winrhrnn.

" ' : . tiii )- In the Connecticut Colony, after 1649, the courts appointed yearly "thanksgiv ing for the blessing of the harvest" with some regularity; But in 1675 even that grateful, appreciative community found their hearts too bowed down -with grief to wear the garment of rejoicing. The ferocious Indian warfare had cruelly deci- fill mated their ranks. - Their trades bad suf fered, the tillers of the soli were laid low, their houses were burned, and their suf ferings were intolerable. They were too strong and brave to sit long in sackcloth and ashes, and the next year there is a record of a- "Publique Thanksgiving with prayer that the Lord would help us in our lives and ways to" walk answerable to his abundant mercyes." - , In 1687 Sir Edmund Andrews, Govern or of Rhode Island, proclaimed a Thanks giving 4ay, but his appointment was not received with applause, being, in fact, quite disregarded in many quarters. . . Some persons were brought to court for contempt of the day. Iii answer to the charge one indifferent man remarked that he. was quite superior lrt the observation .of' days and times. Another coolly - an nounced that "his boy opened the shop and worked on his own account, .but if he had not have been lame he didn't know but he should have worked him self." Apparently Sir "Edmund had a different type of subjev'J from, the pious Pilgrims of the earlier . peopled States, who -made their rugged soil an Eden and returned thanks gratefully for "the" fa--vors every year made n(w."' - - - . , -A'."

According to their various whims, Except one old one. "Ah," said he, "I guess I'll also climb a tree. For since Thanksgiving's come unloosed. .You bet your life I'm going to roost Excelsior!" ..- FIRST THANKSGIVING DINNER. Indian Chiefs Were Hospitably Enter , tained by Pilfcrim Fathers. The first Thanksgiving was appointed by Gov. Bradford, at Plymouth, Mass., in 1621, the year following the landing of the Pilgrims, in order that the Colonists in a more special "Way could rejoice to gether at having all things in good and plenty, writes Clifford Howard in the Ladies' Home Journal. In preparation for the feast "gunners were sent into the woods for wild turkeys, which abounded there in great numbers; kitchens were made ready for preparing the feast espe cially the large one in Dame Brewster's house, which was; under the immediate direction and charge of Priscilla Molines, she who afterward became the wife of John Alden while a messenger was dis patched to invife Massasoit, the chief of the friendly tribe, to attend the celebra tion. : "Early on the morning of the appointed Thursday about the first of November Massasoit and ninety of his warriors ar rived on the outskirts of the vijlage, and With wild yells announced their readiness to enjoy the hospitality of their white brethren. The little settlement, which now consisted of seven dwellings and four -public buildings, was soon astir with men, women and children, who gave the In dians a hearty welcome as they filed into the large square in front of the Governor's house. Soon the roll of a drum announc ed the hour of prayer, for no day was be gun' without this religious service. Then followed a holiday of feasting and- recrea tion, which continued not nly that day but during the two succeeding days. -.The usiial'' routine of" duties was suspended; the children romped about in merry play; the young men indulged in athletic sports and games in friendly ; rivalry with the Indians; the little American army of twenty men, under the leadership of Miles . Standish, went through its drill and man ual of arms, to'the great delight and as tonishment of the natives, while the wom en busied themselves in the careful 'pre para tion of the excellent meals,, wbjtjb were eaten in the open air.". . r,u s Just the Season.- l8 J Mv3PeieTiu&0iiiy Turtey.-ral'J hfir4kmCAMai aM7 mlss,Krheaidj Kalfnon. frA?oBrruM tMf' 20.000. tons of canrMSalntS Mi PoflSumed annually J to- thls-Btry tjpcle "Rastus 1 done won dat turkey at I lucky, eh?
