He didn't see anything like it in Cuba, if Lily t'etitt did say the Cuban girls are so pretty. I never nued for such dark complexions myself. To be sure, Granville is dark himself, but that is diiFerent. I'll not look when he comes in; no, I'll not turn my bead even a tiny bit, Then, after awhile, I'll just glance across and smile at Dan Archer not much of a smile, but it will seem a good deal to Granville!" She started and ran a pin .into her finger, as her mother's voice leached her: "What you doing now, Effie! Pinning th' leaves on th curtains? Oh! 1 didn't Know but what you'd got t' studying again; it was so quiet in here. Well, now, it does look nice!" ElHc was working with guilty haste now. "Granville '11 be waiting to see us go out; "EFFIE, YOU'LL HAVE TO STAT AT . HOME," .- ' I know that," alio said to herself.

Well, goodness knows, be can let me alone if he's ufraid of me! 1 can't help it if Dan Archer does like me at least, I don't suppose J could, and yes, ma, I'm coming right now!" Thanksgiving day was clear a"nJ colder. Mr. Hill hinted at the possibility of snow, but then he had no new dress to wear to church and could think calmly of falling weather. I Evidently Mrs. Hill bad something on her mind; all during breakfast she kept clear tng her throat, and several times while they were washing the dishes she made as if to speak, then closed her mouth once more. As the bung the dishcloth on its! nail, she turned to her daughter: Sec here, Eff:e," she said, "1 giicM you'll have to slay at home this morning and get dinner.' Your pa wants me to go If is cousin, Mirah dill, is coming over with his second wife, and your p& thinks I ought t' be there. You won't i.nnd, will you? It ain't as if you had anything special t' "go for." 'leure sprang to EfhVs eyes. She turned bet bu;h eiientiy, and her mother accepted siieme a& .&.-.rnt.

The hctba lor th tut key are on the right-hand shelf" her voice died away in the dis tance. interminable days before seeing Granville! Alter awhile he went upstairs and, after listening a moment, though she knew there was no one in the house, she raised a !oose piece of carpet and unearthed her greatest treasure. It was a tear-stained copy of the Weekly Clarion, and it described the laud ing of tin gallant Third -and the subsequent skirmii-h in which "Corporal Granville r.arkcr, of this township, who, had dis played great bravery," was shot in the arm. "And suppose he bad died believing alt "WHY, EFFIE, I NEVER SAID THAT." those things Lily Pctitt told him!" Kilie cried. She was' putting away the paper, the dis appearance of which had caused her father such annoyance, when a thought struck her. "Mercy, the cranberries!" she cried, dashing downstairs to liud a black, sticky muss in the bottom ot the kettle.. "Oh! what will ma say! Whoever heard of a Thanksgiving dinner without cranberries, : and there are ho more in the house!" Tho traces of her carelessness removed, the turkey in the oven and the tire "roared up," she stared dejectedly into the yard. "Oh, how I hate Cousin Jane's husbuud ! and his second wife!" she cried. "And why?" asked a voice she had not hc ird since May, "Oh, Ciranville! I why aren't you in church?" I "Guess 1 wnnted to see you, Effie, so I said my arm hurt n little; they'll let me do any thing if I mention that arm." "Oh-h, Granville, is it all right now?" she touched it reverently, "As good as ever, Effie, And I corried that housewife half over Cuba, But you never wroto." "I Lily Pcttitt said you guessed all the girls would write, so I" "Why, Elfic.' I never said that. I only wanted you to think of me, and" "But you hoven't told me about the war," she broke in, blushing, "Did you ever kill a man, Granville?" "I guess 1 did one, anyhow. Pe wa.

Shall I tell you what my first thought was?" Effie nodded; hp waa crying. "I won dered whether you'd care if 1 never came back!" . 1 Two hours later, when Mr. Hill drove up, his daughter gave a wild cry: ."The turkey!" and ran into the house, which was full of the rich odor of incinerated fowl. That was the Thanksgiving day upon which Mr. and Mrs. Hill dined utdly on canned corn, pickic and pumpkin pie. Aa for Granville and Effie. they sat with hands clasped under the tablecloth and ate the food of the gods. ELTSA ARMSTRONG. TaoKht hy Experience.
