"Yes' said Prank, "he came to the rear

a team or one horses in the alley."
"How long were you out of the room?"
I asked.
"Not more than two minute."
"Could a person come frouj the front

''No, indeed," said young Orr, earnestly;
'T locked the door before I ran out to
look at the horses."
"Them if the jewelry was taken while
you were in charge it could haTe been
taken by no one but yourself," I said
somewhat severely to see what effect the
conclusion would have on the prisoner.
"It looks bad for me, sir, especially as
one of the rings waa found in my overcoat
pocket"
"That last fact counts for nothing." I
remarked, and added: "Tell me candidly,
Orr, have you no theory upon which the
thing can be explained?"
"No, sir, I have not; it seems very
strange; I can't understand It," he said,
his voice trembling perceptibly, and hia
eyes again filling with tears.
It w now soon of the day before
Thanksgiving day the day toward which
Frank Ore had been looking forward joy
fully (or many weeks. But since hie un
just arreet he had abandoned all hope of
going, ana a message Dad been wired to
hia mother, announcing that unexpected
circumstances would prevent hia being
there. "Now, off for Vermont," I said as
we came out of the court room toarether.
"You will not have much time to lose,
out you can mate your train and reach
home in time for dinner yet 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.

The first Thanksgiving was appointed
by Gov. Bradford, at I'lymouth, Mas.,

made ready for preparing the feast espe

John Alden while a messenger was dis

the friendly tribe, to attend the celebra

"Early on the morning of the appointed

SON3 OF THE THANKFUL TIME.
We tlilnk of Thanksgiving at seeding time
In the swelling-. unfoldiua. budding time.
When the heart of nature and hearts of men
Rejoice In the earth grown young again.
We dream of the harvest, of Held ami vine,
And granaries full, at Thanksgiving time.
We thick of Thanksgiving- In crowing- time
la the time of dowers, and the vintage
prime;
When the palms of the year's strong hands
are tilled
: With fruitHge, with grain, and with sweets
uistinea.
When tne, dream of hone Is a troth sublime,
Then our hearts make room for the thankful
time.
We think of Thanksgiving In harvest time
In the yicldlug, gathering, golden time;
Whon tun ski In frineed with a hnxv mist.
And tho blushing maples by frost Hps kissed;
When tho barus are full with the harvest
eheee.
And the crowning, thankful day draws near.
We think of Thanksgiving at resting lime
The clrclo completed Is but a chime
In the song of life. In the lives of men!
Wn hm-Tcxt the toll of our rears, and then
We wait at the gate of the King's highway
For the dawn of our soul's Taanksglvtug
day.

JUST IN TIME
FOR DINNER.
ASIDE from some noted criminal
prosecutions which I conducted
several years ago, the incident
which I am about to relate was one of
the most Interesting chapters in my pro
fessional life. It had been a stormy No
vember day. During the morning the rain
had come down in torrents. Toward noon
the water began to crystallize as it de
scended, and all afternoon the anow had
been blowlug and drifting in a very un
comfortable way. It grew dark early,
Perhaps 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 providence had some
thing to do with my going out on to the
street at that moment Pausing up Broad
way I turned into Fourteenth street to
cross to the elevated railroad station,
Near the corner I encountered a crowd
of men and boys, in the center of which
stood a bluecoat with a prisoner. Stand
ing on tip-toe, I saw that the prisoner
was a young lad with a remarkably hand
some face and gentlemanly manner.
call bad been senf in for a patrol wagon,
and the policeman was waiting the re
sponse. The boy looked thoroughly fright
ened. As I reached the spot he was pro
testing his innocence and begging to be
released.
"I tell you honestly, sir, it is a mistake.
I know nothing of the jewelry. I am in
nocent, sir; I ant, truly."
"That's all right you young rascal.'
the policeman replied. "Nobody that's ar
rested ever steals anything. But when
we get our clutches on 'em they don'
generally turn out such innocents as they
claim.
Just then the patrol wagon dashed up,
two officers alighted, and the boy waa
qmcKiy bustled up the steps of the wagon
ana anven off.
"What station 7" I asked as they drove
on toward tne south, mere was no re
ply, but by walking rapidly in the direc
tion taken by the officers I soon brought
up at tne aiercer street station, where, as
an attorney. I soon obtained an interview
with the lad whose face had so greatly
- Interested me. When I was shown to hia
cell he was weeping bitterly, and appear-
. to to oe in aosoinre dsepair.
"I saw you at the patrol box," I said by
way of introduction, "and thought I would
like to hnd out a little more about your
case. I am a lawyer; and if you aTe in
nocent aa I think you must be, I will see
wnat can be done to get you out of this.
my name is Liawson, what is Tours?"
"Frank Orr," he said promptly, as a
wave of gratitude and hope swept over his
iace. .Lnen ne added: "This is verv kind
of you, sir. The whole miserable business
is a mistake. I never took a bit of the
;eweiry; not a bit"
J. hen I sat down on the cot beside
Frank and asked him to tell me all about
hjs trouoie. ,
His home was in Westers Vermont, he
aiu, ana ne naa oeeu in ISew York about
a year. He had come here to get a start
in the world. While his success had not
oeen ail mat 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 bis
mother, who needed his help sorely. For
six months past he had been employed in
the shop of a manufacturing jeweler. That
day twenty valuable rings and gome oth
er articles had disappeared from a show
case. They were missed just after the
noon hour. During that hour the work
men were always out at lunch, and Frank
and another young man named Lereh
were usually in charge. But to-day Lerch
was sick at home, and Frank was in the
hop alone.
"Did you see no one about the premises
during that hourT I asked.

'It is a trifle mysterious, my young
friend," I said, rising. "But I somehow
believe you are not the guilty nartv.
will ask the sergeant to give you a more
comfortable place than this for the uight
In the morning I will see you again."
When the catse came up at the Jefferson
Market police court next dar I secured an
adjournment Then I went to work vigor
ously to hunt down the thief. I started
out on the theory of b rank s innocence.
Then, it waa clear that the janitor could
not himself have stolen the goods. He
might have had an accomplice, however,
who may have been concealed somewhero
in the room, and carried off the jewelry
while Frank was taking his two-minute
view of the horses in the alley. This filler
might have dropped the ring into Frank's
pocket so as to point suspicion toward
its owner. .
My theory proved correct. A trnarded
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 waa 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.
They had no money and were sober."
the bartender explained, "so guess they
ain't been Into no crooked work of late."
The fact that they were not snendinir
money made me believe that if these men
were really the thieves they had not vet
som tneir plunder. Bo I decided upon a
bold movement. Securing the aid of a
trusty detective who had once served me
in somewhat similar case. I went to Ho-
gan's bouse. A red-faced woman admit
ted us. "Mr. Tingle left some rinirs and
other Jewelry with you for safe-keeping,"
I said In confident tone, purposely refrain
ing from giving any hint that suspicion
also rested upon her husband.
The property Is not Mr. Tinele's. and
if you wish to save yourself from trouble
you will deliver it up to this officer at
once," I added.
The woman turned pale and hesitated.
A threat to place her under arrest brought
her to a decision, and a Darcel containing
the plunder was placed in my hand.
At the police court next day Hoean and
Tingle were confronted with the evidence'
of their crime, and Frank Orr's eyes danc
ed with joy when the Judge expressed re
gret that so serious a mistake had been
made, and told him h waa at liberty, -

wnimsicai woman of fashionable pre
tensions. Some of these toys were use
ful, such as the wee boxes and trays
for desk or dressing table, the minia

of them were wholly frivolous and as
Impractical as they were diminutive.
One woman whose soul delights In
