As be picked his waydown town, thus
mused Speculator Drown ; :
,'0n the day before Thanksgiving, life Is
''always, worth the living. ..

Thinking thus. Brown stood before his six

' Bow to work this plan, thought Brown, a

' And as he read his letters o'er, he thought
about hi plius Ue more,
,; And as. he thought h grew perplexed, until
" i at- last she thought him -vexed. . ,, :
"To-morrow's Thanksgiving,", ventured she.r
- - "A day when all. It seems to me,
1 Should eat lots of turkey and pumpkin pie,
' - t -niid U softs of nxln's that money can
"buy." "'.-. - -. : . . .
Thus aulckly to the girl's amaze. Brown
made reply In following phrase:
"And," he Went 6r, 'I have a plan, and you
1 , must help me If you can.
V; Then, he told her bow the borrowed 'money
-came. , i '; .' ' -
And how he Borrowed nnieh before It came.
Be said: "The landscape blue, It turned to

. It filled my heart with thankfulness, It drove
away my wretchedness. '

, The 'maiden - listened to his 'words. ; "You
want my help to buy the birds, '" ',.." .
The ce'ery and the pumpkin pies and Other
things. " she said,; her eyes ' .....
- Bent on -the floor. Then he replied !, "That'
' It exactly; .If you-tried ' ,
.', Ton could not closer apeak mytnlnd.' f .
: And further. If you'll be so kind ' .'.-.' ...
And help me at the dinner, too, :'-; $
I'll alwars grateful be to you." , '..
The maiden's cheek was like a peach, and ,
v' - ' as sne nsienea to uis speeca,

Would be happy If you were to have it cook

. f'A very good Idea, my child' said Spec

"How many guests, then, . will there be)
Have -you asked them yet?" said she. '
"No, by gracious! I forgot., When w have
the dinner bought, -- ; .
I'll find fellow out of work, and bid theat

So they planned and so they talked as to the
market place tney waikeu. - r
At the market place their eyes, filled with
.. wonder and surprise. ;
Food was there from all creation; , food
' enough for half a nation.
"Where does It come from?" Brown , pro-
pounded. Thus a market man .ex
pounded: V. v. ,. , .
"Should you ask me whence those turkeys,
Whence those birds of rounded plumpness.
Stripped each one of ruby wattle, ; .i
Stripped of all Its glorious feather,, ... i' V
Irawn and ready for the oven, i ' a ',
There to bake and brown and slzsle '
Till the cook, with wise decision, takes It
' from the torrid recess, ' '
Ready for Thanksgiving dinners,
I should tell you, answer I should:
; From the plains of Illinois, from the hills
of, Pennsylvania, " ..
From the vales of Massachusetts, from New
York and from New Jersey. 1 , rf
Where the farmers feed and feed more.
All the summer, all the autumn, .:
Till Thanksgiving is not far off; : ' -r
Then they send them to the city, n ,
That New York may not bereft he . , ',
Of the pleasures of the table."
"That's enough of, rhymeless rhythm: wnd
-two turkeys, and send with them '.'
Brown' began,' stopped-,' perplexed. Turning
. . to the girl: . "What next?"
Then the maiden skillfully filled the order
Out. and. he paid the blU admiringly. :.
Hew Brown went But guests to invite would
i, be too long, a story quite' v-.
But' he scraped up half a doen, and him'
elf, the maiden' cousin, .
And her mother, all sat down next day to

Who, was there? Isaiah Stout,; who for six

Next to him,. . con tented,, sat Candy ..Maker

While the guests devoured and gorged, Cu

Brown's heart was heart they bound, a

And before the meal wa oer, Brown was a

When the guests had gone away Brown ask-
-y ed if he might longer stajr,'
And to the maiden, with a flush' h told a'
tale that made her blush. '
"Won:t yon help me. If youj can, with this

HE night befr Thanksgiving the
.city wa nblaze with lights.. The
' first ' snow had fallen and the air
Itself seemed light hearted. The massive
mansions that surround tGramercy Park
were brightly lighted. : '! .;'' ...
. In muflied silence a young man cloak
les and gloveles hurried by the ' Iron
bars that fence in the little acre of the
rich towartj his lodging place. r
For five year Jack Fleming had lived
alone.:. No one (tuew;ery much. about
him, except that he was a thriftless, in
dolent genius. When his father died the
fortune that might have gone to him had
endowed certain wealthv charitable ' in-,
stltntions.' Hi' mother had died in his
infancy, and Jack Fleming had grown up
with the servants and his books for com
panions. He had never seen enough' of
his fattier to love him,' In his childlioo4
Jack had had one friend, Dora Goldth
wait. She wa a beautiful girl, several
year Ms junior, who, li'-ed, in the house'
adjoining his father's, and every day on
or the other would climb the fence that
separated them and ,drop over into the
little yard for a romp. Dora was proud
of her protector and playmate',-', for even
then Jack was ".full: of ,-book knowledge,
and Dora Soon learned to love ShaUspeare
and Milton as read aloud by her hero. '
Another great tramping place for the
little people wa Gramercy Park, for both
houses faced the hnndxome playground
and Mr. Qoldthwait and Jack' father
were among the favored rich who po
aessed key to th great iron gate that
shut out the, children of the poor, who
often .''ined the iron fence and peered
wistfully between the bars at the smiling
lawn within, x...-' '. ';'.-.; :
The . children were Inseparable nntil
Jack was 15 and. Dora 12. , Xhen Jack
went to college, but every holiday found
him at home again, and often books went
by the board and Jack cams home on the
sly to nee hi little sweetheart.-' Of course,
on these occasions he was smuggled into:
Dora' home, and good-ratured, easy-go-,
ing Mr. Goldthwait would have, thought
It ,the basest treachery for any, member
of - his family to inform his next door
neighbor. Jack's father, that his son was
playing : truant. ..i '." ';?r?"K:v-s
"' After three years at college Jack was
hopelessly behind in his studies, and his
father, still ignorant of the reason, called
him a blockhead. One day Jack received
a tender, loving letter from Dora asking
him to come home at once, as her father
had just received- word from England
that he had fallen heir to a large property,
Including a theater In one of the. targe
cities, and tho business of the latter was
1 'jvKis-i'i?o-.'-f 'im
MM. 2 B 'iJL.-i.
- "in rpE Little back yakd." , v
in urgent need of his immediate attention.
The family would sail for England imme
diately, but Dora wanted Jack to go with
them, if he could. A few hours after
receiving the letter Jack stood in front
Of the Goldthwait residence on Gramercy
Park. - It was closed. , No servant an
swered the bell, and Jack's heart fell like
lead. Again he looked at the letter. ' It
was dated two days before and had been
delayed in the maii.; : Af home he found
his father; but in a mood in which he had
never seen him before. 1 . - ; ';' . '
"You young rascal!", he ; shouted, ' as
Jack entered. "So you have been wasting
your time next door, instead of studying."
'No pleading on the part pf Jack could
induce .the turbulent old man i to - toll
where the O(oldthwaits had gone. V' 'j r.
X. "Never mindfV thought Jack, "I 'will
bear .from her soon,- and then-' " -. ;
: But no letter came.. VVeeks lengthened
into months and Jack grew tall and thin.
One day he went up to his college town,
and an' inquiry at the postorhce elicited
the fact that several letters had come, up
to a month ago, but they had been for
warded to Gramercy Park. : : ';
?- That night father and son faced each
other for the last time. , ; . '
. "Where are the letters Dora wrote to
me" demanded Jack, as he leaned' over
toward the old man', who' stood smiling
sarcastically in his face.' ? ' ',.", '.' . :-'.v '-'',,
! "I told you that if you refused to return
to college you would, regret it," Was the
reply. :.-, '." ; . y,: -.:'
Jack turned on his heel and passed out
of the house.:', r ' . '-'7
He found it a iharder struggle tfi.iii he
expected. ' His 'Income fluctuated from
next to nothing to nothing itself.; lie be
came tirst it wanderer among apartments,
then among boarding houses. and: tt last

He had l;ved a week in a rear hall bedroom-on
Twenty-second street before he
discovered that its windows were only
separated frorii those of his old home and
that of Dora, on Gramercy ParUp by the
brief New York back yards in' which they
used to play together. 'The Goldthwait
house was dari. It had been ever since
the day Dora left. 1 Next to it. whore his
father's mansion loomed up agamst the
tree beyond, lights wre often soon, 3nt
strangers occupied th familiar room. -
On Thanksgiving Eve just' five years
since he had left his old life behind him
Jack went to his dingy little window to
gaxe;at the two mansions. He shivered
with cold; but the blood rushed quickly to
his face when he saw the home of the girl
he still loved, brightly lighted up.. For
an instant he stood still, amazed. "Then
he sat down on his bed to think.1- Finally,
downhearted and discouraged, he turned
to a great pile of manuscript and rubbish
on the floor, and picking a book front the
nondescript mass . he turned over the
leaves',..'. ; V., '., ' V- ',''.''
- j "Twelve plays out,", he ' muttered to
himself "Hveof them probably lost.'' Only
that day he had sent his best and latest
comedy to the new English . actor who
had arrived the day before. ' As soon as it
was rehearaed (as he doubted not It would
be) he would snd the others in rotation.
For months he had expected success to
come with the dawn of every new day,
and to-night ns he threw, himself on his
bed, hungry 'and broken-hearted, he real
ized the mistake he had made in living in
a dream. . He made firm resolutions to re
form, but as his fingers clinched in new
born resolve his eyes strayed across the
way again. For the second time that
evening hi heart stood stilL Behind the
soft lace curtains of the Goldthwait man
sion shadows Of people flitted to and fro.
The house 'was inhabited again but by
strangers, of course, he thought. '.; );."$.
'.' Thanksgiving' Day found Jack poorer
and hungrier than he h3d ever been be-,
fore in his life. j.For forty-eight hours he
had not tasted food, but he determined to
breakfast ;in spite of the .almost , total
emptiness of his pocketbook. ; . He turned
his face toward the lower portion of the
city, determined , to accept, whatever work
offered itself, but ft was a holiday,' and ,
after several hours spent in tramping the
quiet streets Jack turned his face home
ward.'' 'As he trucged np Broadway a
clatter on the stones behind attracted his ,
attention and a driyerleas 'cab dashed In- '
to sight.'"' An elderly man-was gesticulat-'.
ing wildly from the" window. ' ;.' With' a
bound Jack responded. , In another mo
ment the runaway horse stood panting in
the roadway,- and Jack's sinewy '. hand
was on the bit.:---:H:.'i'--I's-w'.;-,'...'..--:' )': y
',. "One dollar to : drive' me up to ' tei-T
monico's,' shouted the man. ' .!", '.i V.
"But your driver?" asked Jack. :. H; vv'
. "Drunk In a saloon," was the response.,
Without another word Jack leaped up to ,
the cabby's seat and whipped up the
horse, , It was the first time he had ever
earned a dollar by manual, labor, and as
he clinched his teeth firmly a flush mount
ed to hiB cheeks. ).,':, ;. ; v .... :." :: '",
Whoa the once-' familiar restaurant
came into sight Jack thought; with mois
ture in his eyes, of the many times he and
Dora had , lunched in the great dining-;
room. As he reined up before it, hag
gard rtnd'.mud bespattered, totally differ-'
ent .from his bid self, he. 'started with
amazement. There, standing on the side
walk was the subject of his dream not
the, Dora of old, with short frock! and
curling hair streaming in the wind, but ;
the beautiful woman into which the years
had changed. her. .' '', ', ' , 'i . . ,..
'.. For a moment Jack could, hardly re
strain himself from rushing forward and
declaring his identity. , But a thought of
his Clothes and his work made him stop.'
He became as anxious to hide his face as
he had been a moment before to tell; his
name. ; '.; ',';', . '.-'.--.-,-!:;'.,.- -'i--'..' '.-"; -
. Dora, and her father passed into the
restaiiraut and Jack earned a second dol
lar by getting a nev driver for his pas
senger's coupe. He passed and repassed
the restaurant in an unsuccessful attempt
to get another glimpse of the woman he
loved before he even satisfied his hunger,
v It "was dark before he went back to his
little room and stationed himself once
more iU his window, to gaze at the lights
lu the Goldthwait mausim. He was filled
with a conllii'i of. love and pride. He had
no reason to belitvc thar-Dora had not
.forgotten him, but his love for her was as
strong- as ever. He longed to go to her,
hut the knowledge of.his poverty and
shabb.ni cs kept h;m bi".i'k. m
The windows of the great old dining
room were bright Tviw light and their
raisid curtains jave hire clear view of

Half an hour passed and some one else

nan., Dora seemed to forget her house

irm and seemed to plead with him,, At
ast he sat down,, and then, still another
person came in; it was Mr. Goldthwait.
They sat by the fire, with Dora between
:hem. . She was talking earnestly, and
the handsome stranger Keemed to be lis
;ening intently. Occasionally Jack could
lee that Mr. Goldthwaitspoke. Then
Dora wonld.beam -with happy ; smiles.
Suddenlyj she jumped up from her seat,

A wisteria vine ran down from his win-,
low. "Clasping the strong, dry stalk, Jack !

until he reached the little veranda at the
rear of the Goldthwait mahsion, : and

Jack was overcome as he saw again all 1
the little details of the room which once
had been so familiar to him. ' He bowed

jpened a trifle. ' Jack started back fright- !
