HE waa not a bad
nan at heart. But
J toe very qualittet
1 which moved som
-je4)e to call him a
"jolly good fellow
were Identical with
thos. which made
oth! people consid
er him a bad citiaen,
n1, with the usual
emnhaala of people
who take the downward view, a very bad
citizne.
When hie wife died h aeemed to awake
with a audden shock to the issue of life
and the fact of death, He had loved her
with til that marvelous depth of tender
ness, l bat Inconsistent fervor which some
time ir.derljee the weakest nature.
In the newnesa of hia grief he foreawore
his old way and habits. He knew him
aelf to be weak. He fancied the way to
strength of resistance lay along the road
of seif-exile to strange scenes and un
familiar faces that road well worn by the
restlesa feet of those who fly from the
battle within to wage an unequal atruggl
vntta the allies without.
He loft hia little son, made doubly dear
to bim by the sense of tors, with hia wife'
cousin, gave to her what money he could
apare for the child'a support, promised to
send more at regular intervale, and de
parted westward.
More than a year later he roused him
self a if the finger of fate had touched
him. He remembered, with an anguished
regret, that he had fai!-l again; that for
months he had drifted from place to
place, he himself sca.-cely knew where or
how. He remembered that hia promised
remittances for the boy had ceased. He
saw himself broken tn strength, in health,
in spirit. He felt suddenly overpowered
with the consciousness oi hia own weak
ness, and, as a drowning man's anna
reach wildly out toward any illusion of
help, hia thought west ont toward his
child.
It aeemed to him that the love of hia
boy could save him. The miracle of sal
vation became to him possible, wherein a
little child, strong in loe and innocence
and faith, abould lift the fainting, failing
manhood of the man.
A passionate yearning eeized him to
fold again to hia heart the little form, to
feel aoout hia neck the clinging arms, to
hear again the lisping words which came .
to his weakened memory like distant
echoes in a dream. And then he remem
bered the day when first the child was
laid in bis arms; he remembered the
thrill, the wonder, the firrt pride of fath
erhood. Then, in broko glimpses, a a
fair landscape is seen l-etween blurs of
mist, there came to him memories In swift
succession, of the growth, the Incidents
of the child'a few years.
"I must go to him," whispered the man
with a gasp, as he lifted his head from
his hands. His face was flushed, tears
stood in hia eyes. Hia resolution waa
carried out with feverish haate, and he
turned bia face to the East.
. ;,.'
His wife's relative bsd little excuse for
him. She had long considered him a
hopeless vagabond. So when he appeared
suddenly, as from the possible, and, in
her opinion, better, dead, she was not pre
pared to receive him with especial cordial
ity. The story was soon told. The boy
had died months before. He slept by bis
mother. No one had known where to ad
dress the father, who was supposed to
have forgotten he had t son. She was
really not much surprised at the apathy
with which the father listened. It was
consistent with her estimate of his char
. acter. She bad bo mt-ans of knowing
that his faculties were stunned. But she
was astonished beyond measure when, in
a mechanical way, he insisted upon giving
her money for the expense of caring for
and burying the boy.
"Is .hat quite all?" be kept asking, and
then, abruptly bnt quickly, fa said:
"Good-by, I'm going bade."
He knew that his hope was dead; he
felt the certainty of fall now that nothing
remained to bim to lean upon. But he
thought of other things.
A sleety mist filled the air, sparkling In
the street lights liko a mazy shower of
brilliants. The particle stung his face
like elfin arrows. His features were
tense and rigid. His eyp were hot and
dry and his head ached with a dull, in
sistent, maddening pain. He passed the
colored globes of a drug store and stopped.
Red, violet, and green the shafts of light
pierced the dark. The people about him
seemed rbadowa, the sound of their voices
leaguea away. Dimly he remembered a
prescription for an opiate he had used for
headaches like that Fumbling in his
pockets he found tj paper and entered
the store.
"Make twice the number ot powders,"
he aaid to the clerk. "1 don't want to
bother getting the stuff so often."
The rierk hesitated. ;
"Nonsense," said the man. "I'm per
fectly familiar with the ns of it Give
me one of them now with a glass of
water." , . . , ,
Then he went into th street again with
the packet of powders in his pocket, and
already the mere taking of the drug had
somewhat soothed bim. He felt buahed;
bis mind aeemed to clear and lift itself
into a curious, impersonal attitude. As
be walked be found himself quite willing
to contemplate calmly the sodden pain at
ibis hotrt, the otter hopelessness and nse
Woa of his Ufa. With a mucking per-
m a y.

' '
siitence the many resolvea he had made
to himself, the efforts to change, the ever
succeeding failure surged up before him,
and his lip curled in ooatemptuous scorn
of himself. Never did a man hold himself
up to more merciless scrutiny, more in
toleraat judgment.
In hia abstraction he nearly fell upon a
group cf wretched children of the street
who stood clustered abent a reataurant
window.
And such a window! The light of mel
low globes flooded it. It was decked with
holiday greens. In the enter, on a plat
ter sprigged with parsley, reposed brown
and crisp, a roasted pig, with the reddest
of apples in its mouth. Un each side a
fair, fat turkey, dress!1 for the oven, lay
in state. Lobsters, in tbeir scarlet coats,
brown quail with heads tucked under
their wings to swell out the pitiful littl
breasts, and divers otter resources and
accestories of the culinary art lent color
and euggestlveness to th tableau.
The inaa stopped. A tiny fellow, about
as large as his own boy would hare been,
but ragged and dirty and shivering, as by
God's mercy his own never would be, lift
ed a newspaper up to bim and piped in a
shrill little voice:
"Buy a paper, mister, to help me git a
Tank4givin' dinner!
"I this Thanksgiving?' asked the man
with k dull surprise. .
"Sure!" said the boy. "Don't y' see dat
lay-out in de winder?"
The man looked at he window. He
had not noticed it before. He stared at
the children. He put his hand in his
trousers pocket and felt the small roll of
bills he knew was there. He remembered
approximately the amount. Brushing
past the pleading child at his feet, he
went abruptly into the r-staurant. After
"lE'S HAVE BOFK.
brief interview wita the manager he re
turned to the door. ...
"Who wanta a Thanksgiving dinnerr
he aaked. Two or three voicea aaid "Me!
explosively, but for the rest an incredu
lous stare alone responded, until one boy
said, slowly and reproachfully: "Ab-h,
g'way! You're givin' na guff!"
For nnswer the man opened the door,
and the children, without more ado, clum
aily shuffled past him. All save one, a
girl with an accordion slung from her
shoulder and the black locks of Italy
straying from under lh red kerchief on
her head. She pansed with a look of in
quiry. ,
"Doe de girl comeT' asked a boy.
"She's a pnrty good feller for a girl."
"Yea, come along," aaid the man, with
an affectation of cheerfulness. "In a
time iike this female suffrage goes."
They were led by a grinning waiter to
a private dining-room where a long table
stood sbronded as wih new-fallen snow;
and whlia the children were taken to waah
their banda and faces, the man, whose
bead throbbed afresh as he came in from
the outer air, took In a glass of brandy
two of the powders from the package in
his pocket.
, "Bring ns a real olJ Thanksgiving din
ner," be said to the waiter "and plenty of
it, without too many frillt. Some soup
and some turkey " He paused and
looked archly at the cnHdren, who eaucht
the spirit of his glance and shouted: "Yes,
yes!" , "
"Yea, aome turkey with cranberry
aauce " . ;
The tiny newsboy bugged himaelf and
murmured: "Cramb'ry auuee!"
"And aome scalloped oysters," contin
ued the man, stopping after the mention
of ea-:h delicacy to wa'ch the children,
who shivered with eagerness and punctu
ated each pause with approving nods and
murmuring echoes, ",md some aweet po
tatoes, and plenty of bread and butter,
and ah, pickles "
"Ah-h, pickles!" repeated the children.
"And pie shall it be mince pie or apple
pie?" he asked.
9 This question required pondering, and
a youthful Alexander cut the Gordian
knot by saying: "Le's have bofe."
"Here, here." said the man to a boy
who scrambled for the nat at bis right
hand. "When there's only one lady in
the company the seat of honor should be
long to her."
The man touched her kand reassuringly
and turned to his left, where sat the little
newsboy. Long and steadily be looked
into the child's face.
"He, 'oo, had bluceyej." he murmured,
with a catch of the breath as for a brief
instant his own eyelids closed and he bit
hia lip.
When the soup was aerved "Wait a
moment," he said. He tad a vague no
lion that some sort of grace ought to be
asked. Swiftly hia thoughts flew back
to the New England home of his boy
hood. He remembered the bowed head of
his mother and the subdued voice of hia
gray-haired father asking the divine bless
ing. Oddly enough, he remembered, too,
how he need to kick nndet the table at hia
brother to make him laugh. Somewhat
unsteadily he rose an.1 l?aned heavily up
on the table. A strance giddiness was
creeping upon bim which required all his
will to resist.
"Lord bless ns, and make us
His mind wandered, be could not think
of the next word. It wined to him he
had no right to address the Deity what,
he! it was absurd! And while he hesi
tated two of the children, thinking the
benediction done, cried out. "Amen!" and
fell to eating their soap with a clatter of
. Hi.h ami divers other noises
j ,i r. i u " . '
0f the mouth not heard in polite society.
What if some ot tnera put meir
up to :heir lips to drain the last drops;
whnt if some of them .te with their lin
gers and surreptitiouHly stole choice bits
from :heir neighbor's dishes; what if there
arose occasional outcries and incipient
riots which the oewildered waiters
promptly quelled! In spite of these things
the dinner was a complete success from
the standard of its purpose.
Never were guests mo'e appreciatively
bnngrv; never was ho' more, careful to
supplv his guests, thougc it must be con
fessed he himself ate little, and as the
dinner progressed his eyes grew dull, aud
from time to time bis head drooped slow
ly forward till he caught himself like one
fighting against an overwhelming drow
siness. At Issl, when each child had eaten two
pieces of pie. even to the last crumb, the
mun rose to bis feet, Wut-hing at his chair
for support. He brushed his hand across
"DID YOtT BINO, SIB?"
bis eyes. Strange lights danced before
him, crimson and gold; the air was popu
lous with unknown shapes, weaving in
slow mazes: soft melodies sang in bis ears
as from infinite distances, thrilling, uncer
tain, riling and falling as with the swek
of an invisible sea.
"Children," his own cice sounded re
mote and dissevered from his, "good
night Have you had a good dinner?"
The vociferous assent recalled bis stray
ing fancies. He saw his guests multi
plied as in a room wa'led with mirrors.
Being of unceremonious habit, they
stood not upon the order of their going
and soon were gone. As the little newa
boy alii down from hia chair the man laid
a hand on the child's tangled head and
gazed in hia face with a look of yearning
tenderness. The boy looked startled and
hurried away.
"It waa a great success," said the man
to the -vaiter as he laid a bill on the cash
ier's tray. He uttered his words with hes
itating precision.
"It - - Is the oniy good thing I
ever Aid In my life," and then he
laughed aloud.
The waiter smiled complaisantly ; the tip
was large enough to cover many ecen
tricitiea, "Briag me a bottle of brandy, some ci
gars, and an evening paper," said the
man, still tn the same measured tone. "I
will ring when I want anything more,"
he concluded, and the wa'ter withdrew.
Nearly an hour later he cautiously open
ed the door and peepcl in.
"Did yon ring, sir?'' he asked diplomat
ically. There was no response, and he
went swiftly to the averted chair. On the
table rhe cigars were untouched; one
glass of brandy bad ben taken from the
bottle; several im white paper wrap
pers lay on the cloth betode the emptied
glass. In the chair, with bis bauds still
holding the paper and his head against
the high leather back, sat the man but
his spirit had gone too far on a long quest
to be recalled.
The Crowning; of the Sear,
This -S tho festival vbich the Pilgrim
fathers inaugurated, which New England
has annually celebrated fcr two centuries,
and which the nation has adopted and
sanctioned as a day of public thanksgiv
ing to God. It exalts the home and
strengthens its sacred and tender ties.
It brightens the shadows which av
i lii tkiiri ii iaj
gathered over it. It diguifica prosperity.
It prompts men to reach out helpful
hands to their less fortuuate neighbors.
It reminds ua afresh from whence every
good gift comes. If it seemed good to
our fathers in the midst of the hardships
of this new world to give public thanks
to God for blessings, how much more
reason have we to follow their example?
Abundance of food and clothiug, happy
homes, a free country at peace with all
natlona and extending its InHuen
throughout the world, with marvelously
multiplied appliances for use and pleas
ure which surpass the wildest dreams
of those who first were moved to aet
apart a day of public thanksgiving and
praise, are ours. What shall I render un
to the Lord for all Hia benefita toward
me? I will take the cup of salvation, and
call upon the nnme of the Lord.
THANKSGIVING DAY IN EUROPE.
Baked Hraua, Glace, and "Bonnkin
I'ie a l'Americnlne."
A few years ago one of the diplomatic
corpa in I'aris complimented some Amer
ican viaitora by giviug a Thanksgiving
dinner. He made some elaborate re
searches regarding our national customs
as applied to the day and with help of his
chef offered among other thiugs baked
beans, well thinned with custard and
froaen. The crowning glory of the feast
was a pumpkin pie. Its crust was shing
ly puff pante fully an inch thick. Th
pumpkin was merely a filmy glaze upon
the paste, with a tuffy-like coiisisteucy
that made it cling lo the eater's teeth.
The chef uiunt have imparted the secret
to tbe national pie, at least in part, to
others of his craft, for a little later a
well-known restaurateur announced on
a little placard at his establishment:
"Bounkin l'ie a ia Amerioaiue."
In Berlin the traveler will find. If he ia
there in November, mi addition to the
menn of aome places of refreshment. The
addition Is a Qouriliing announcement to
Americana that Indian paddings, bean
puddings, pumpkin tarts, and other delica
cies, which the waiter will affably say
are for the American "Danksgiving," bnt
which only resemble the originals they
imitate as the mist resembles the rain.
Koreigu restnurants pride themselves
upon catering to American customers'
tastes, but their translatious are striking
and worked out laboriously from the dic
tionary. One Berlin hotel proudly put
upon the menu, "False hair stewed Amer
ican fashion." It requires some penetra
tion to discover that a dish of smothered
beef known to us a mock rabbit is
meant.
A Kussian of wealth and position hav
ing gathered accurate knowledge of In
dian corn and the ways it should be serv
ed some years ago, invited some Rnglisb
and American friends to dinner and, after
a little preliminary boast of the success
his gardner had made in cultivating the
vegetable, presented his guests with tiny
immature cobs an inch and a half long,
boiled till tender and served like aspara
gus tips with a rich cream dressing: An
American present found it difficult to
maintain a circumspect gravity when the
hostess asked bim if it was true that in
America this corn was always eaten with
the fingers, for in view of the dripping
ears she was daintily lifting, one at a
time, upon her fork, he had to assure her
that she was eating it in the only proper
manner. -
Tickletooth Pnddln?.
"Tickletooth pudding" was tbe name of
the Thanksgiving pudding of old colonial
days. It waa only a memory of tbe great
progenitor of that name which the pil
grims had left at borne in old England.
There were no ten pounds of solid fruit,
no twenty luscious eggs, rich beef suet,
nor waa it dampened with choice brandy
and home-brewed ale. But it was prob
ably more easily digested. -
Every Day.
Every day Is a day o' thanksgiving for
Christians. Tbey do not wait until the
crops'have been gathered before returning
thanks, for tbey are thankful for every
day'a blessing. Still 4 ! a commendable
custom for a nation to officially recognize
man's dependence, and o ask its people
to unite In a common thanksgiving.
Not Needed.
"Well, Thanksgiving is enough for me
without medicines."
