Blanche paused for a moment In the
doorway and looked hopelessly about
her. She hated the apartment with Its
shabby carpet. Its stuffy atmosphere
and the cheap small talk of the me
dium priced boarding; house, but It
was at least better than the cheerless
Uttle room that even her feminine in
genuity could not transform Into the
semblance of home.
Orer at the piano the young wom
an who had charge of the millinery
department of a big store picked out
"Lore Me and the World Is Mine"
with one finger, the yellow keyed piano
responding occasionally with the right
note. . A floorwalker from the same
tore looked adoringly down upon her,
and Mrs. Castleton, the landlady,
smiled approvingly upon both of them.
Already they had told her that after
the first of the year they should need
IT WAS LATB WHEN THEY FIHALLT STOOD
ON THK STEPS.
the front room on the first floor instead
of the rear hall rooms on the third and
fourth floors.
Colonel McGregor was studying a
chess problem over in one porner, and
various little groups were formed
about the room. Blanche bad Just de
cided that the ball room was prefera
ble to the piano when Mrs. Castleton
transferred her attention from the
amorous pair at the piano to the new
comer.
"Oh. Miss rhilbrlck," she called.
"May I speak with you a momentt"
Blanche came forward, wondering
what Mrs. Castleton might have to
say. Evidently from the fat smile that
adorned the landlady's face she was
about to ask a favor.
"Are you to be here for dinner
Thursday?" went on Mrs. Castleton,
"It's Thanksglvlug," continued the
matron, seeing from Blanche's face
that she did not understand. "All the
rest of the folks are going borne for
the day or will spend it with friends."
"I have no friends here iu the city,'
raid Blanche frankly, "owl home Is so
dreadfully far away."
Home had never seemed so far away
as at that moment She bad left her
home when her father married again.
There was no place she might call
home, not even the little room up
stairs.
Mrs. Castleton's face fell at the an
nouncement. '1 was thinking that if
you was going out, too," she explained,
"I might let the servants have the day
out Then we could have the turkey
and thlnes on Sunday," she added as
proof that her motives were not mer
cenary.
Guy Blalsdell noted the girl's embar
rassment and came to her relief. "You
have left me out of this discussion,'
he cried gayly. "I'm one of the home
less too. I propose that Miss rhilbrlck
Join me In the formation of the Society
For Making Feople Thankful." .
Mrs. Castleton eyed Blalsdell appre
hensively. She never was certain
where his remarks would lead. Only
that morning he had led her on In
praise of the butter and had wound np
Ly declaring it to be the strongest DU
ter he had ever tasted. Blalsdell caught
hnr elance and hastened to put her
mind at rest.
'This Is an admirable order," he ran
on. "I know where there Is a place
where they give real old fashioned
New England cooking. They are going
- to spread themselves Thursday. If
Miss rhilbrlck will be my guest she
will make me very thankful and at the
same time she will make the servants
thankful, too, by giving them a chance
to go to the matinee instead of worry
ing over an elaborate dinner ior iwo.
Will you come, Miss rnuDricKr-
For a moment Blanche hesitated. It
was not that she did not want to go
her soul revolted at the very thought
of Thanksgiving dinner In Mr. Csb tie
ton's gloomy dining room but she had
not yet accustomed herself to the in
formality of dinner with a compara
tively unknown man without a chape
ron. She knew that chaperons were not
considered necessary where girls earn
ed their own living, still It seemed a
little daring. But Blalsdcll's eager
face and Mrs. Castleton's appealing
glance decided her. She turned to
Blalsdell with a little nod.
'I shall be most happy to accept
your Invitation," she said, and Mrs.
Castleton looked relieved. Thanksgiv
ing and Christmas were her bugbears.
Once In her own room Rlnncne was
mazed at her action. She had been
In the city for eight months, and In all
Out time not once had she accepted
nv of the numerous offers of enter-
.inmont Rhn liked Blnistlell better
than any of the others lu the house.
Thar was something fresh and whole-
iihout him. very different from
the assumed sophistication of njost of
ih. mm lie was nnst thirty, auu o
bald patch ou the buck of his head
was already beginning to 1 In evi
dence, but he wns still a boy at heart,
.-a rnm th first Blanche had been
auu . ui" .
attracted to him.
The dinner was ail that Blalsdell had
j promised, A New England girl wh
bad sought to make her way la the
city bad persuaded ber mother to com
on and start restaurant Two floor
in good neighborhood were simply ,
fitted np, and much of the New Eng
land atmosphere was preserved ex
cept In the prices. '
The room were crowded today, bat
Blalsdell had reserved a table, and
Blanche thoroughly enjoyed dinner
that was so unlike the far at tb
boarding bouse.
"I com over here very often," ex
plained Blalsdell when at last the cof
fee and mine and pumpkin pie were
served. "If as near as a bachelor
can get to home her In tb city."
"It doe taste Ilk home," asserted
Blanche. "I grow so tired of Mrs, Cas
tleton's weekly routine."
"Tou will have to come her often
then," said Blalsdell promptly. "It
would be all the more pleasant for
company.. It's lonesome eating alone."
T think It Is more dreary to eat with
whole roomful of people with whom
you have so little In common," sara
Blanche, with a stgb.
'It Is so much more lonesom In the
city with all the people you don't know
than In tb country where there ar so
few people whom you do know."
"I don't think tbat w ar cut out
for city folk," agreed Blalsdell, with a
laugh. "Let's get over to the park
for a little walk before the theater."
"Tou are going to the theater?" ask
ed Blauche.
"W are going to the theater," he
corrected. "Surely you do not want
to spend the evening In Mrs. Castle
ton's stuffy parlor?"
"Heaven forbid V cried Blanche.
"But you don't know what a treat It
will be."
Blalsdell looked as though perhaps
be might guess. II knew that she did
not go out In the evenings, and he
knew what a hall bedroom was like.
but he only smiled us he led the way
to the cashier's desk.
It was late when they finally stood
on the steps of the boarding bouse and
Blanche gave a little sigh of contentment.
It bus been it perfect day," she said,
"Instead of a most miserable one. I
don't know how to thank yon enough."
I am the one to give thanks," said
Blalsdell, with a lnugh. "Look here;
It's only fair to tell you that I'm going
to try my hardest to make you Mrs.
Blalsdell before next Thanksgiving.
This Is not a proposal. It would not
be polite to propose to you so soon, but
want you to know that I'm going to
do my best to win you before another
year passes."
Blanche wondered that her heart
should beat so rapidly at the frank
speech. She liked Blalsdell tbe better
for his honesty, and for an Instant her
hand lay over the muscular one that
was inserting the key in the lock.
"It will not be very hard," she whis
pered. "Have you not enrolled me in
the Society For Making Teople Thankful?"

Reforming Har Vocabulary.
A young woman of Quaker descent
arcordinK to tne pew xoris tsuu, is
naw making an attempt to eliminate
teom her vocabulary the forms of
sucech peculiar to that sect
'All my life," she said, "I nave used
my 'tnees' and 'tnous- as my tauter
and mother and my grandfathers and
grandmothers did before me. I was
so accustomed to those expressions
that It never occurred to me that there
could be any disadvantage in their pe
culiarity. But when I went to work
In a dry goods store I was disillusion
ed. I found then tbat Quaker speech,
especially behind the counter, makes
a mark of tbe speaker. In our store
I met other clerks with every imag
inable kind of a foreign accent, but
nobody pays any attention to them.
It Is only I poor I with my Quaker
theelng anil thoulng tbat catches tbe
ear of the multitude,
" 'Why, you use the Quaker dialect
don't you? How funny r says one per
son after another, with suddenly
aroused Interest.
"This curiosity concerning me and
my 'dialect has become very annoy
ing, and I am trying to stick to
Btralght English.
"BIG TIM'S" BOUNTY.
Six Thousand Bowery Waifs Eat ul
livan's "Turksy and Fixln's."
More than 6,000 unfortunate of
Bowery existence were fed last Christ
ma day out of the bounty of "Big
Tim" Sullivan. The feast was spread
at the rooms of the Timothy D. Sulll
can association at 207 Bowery, New
York city.
Before sunrise th crowd began to
gather. By 10 o'clock th throng
reached from block to block, and then
the feast began. Tb men were al
lowed In by relays of 300 each, and
while these were feeding th other
waited their turn.
White there were all sort of men in
the line old, young, middle aged, tbe
blind, tbe lame and the halt tbe domi
nant note which all proclaimed was
poverty In Its most pinching form. Tbe
majority of them had no overcoat and
the biting cold made them shiver and
stamp their feet to try to keep warm.
There were thirty policemen on hand
to keep tbe line, but they had little to
do. The cripples were given the prefer
ence, with n word of protest from
their mor fortunate fellows.
The dinner was the personal gift of
"Big Tim," and out of his purse there
were provided 5,000 loaves of bread.
1,500 pounds of turkey, 1,000 pounds of
chicken. 1.000 pounds of duck, 7,000
pies, eight barrels of potatoes for sal
ad, 10,000 cups of coffee and thirty
kegs of beer.
As each man filed out he was banded
a poach of tobacco, a pipe and a ticket
for pair of shoes.
"Little Tim" Sullivan was the master
of ceremonies.

Tha Pitiless "Fohn."
On a winter's night of 1861 half the
town of Glurus, In the Alps, went roar
ing up In flame to heaven, while the
pitiless fohn raged and raged and
mocked at the efforts of salvors sum
moned from half tbe eautons of Swit
zerland, and the glow of tbe burning
town was seen a hundred miles away
in tbe Black forest. The bells were
rung for help till tbe ropes were burn
ed away, and, most grewsom of all,
the countless wooden crosses of the
churchyard graves furnished almost
the last fuel to revive t!io dying flames.
The fohn Is n hot south wind a kind
of Swiss khamscen whh'h was long
supposed to originate In the Sahara
and to cross the Mediterranean, find
ing no height to break upon till It came
to the St. 'Gotbnrd. where It wns
forced through the pass with concen
trated violence. What really causes It
Is .I1I a matter of doubt, but It can do
jroat mischief still and could do more
a the days of wooden houses. II lack-

INFLUENCE OF A FACE.
Experience of a Men Running to Catch
a Train.
Ah, the potent power of a single
I'ace even of a married face upon
tbe one who, beholding it uuilerstaml
Ingly and responslvely, reads!
Recently 1 was In a frailly per
turbed state of mind. I was ruuning
for a Milwaukee train at the Chicago
Union station, and I feared I was late.
In n:i ngony of suspense and mental
anguish, with protruding eyes and gap
ing mouth. I labored on with what
speed I mlKht while burdened down
with heavy grips. , -
While I was thus suffering and mak
ing iiiv suffering noticeable to the most
casual observer I suddenly saw a face
u placid, common face but It bore a
liHwui.e of courage and hope for me.
It made me ashamed Instantly that 1
v. ; s perturbed or anguished In spirit
over : o small a thing as the prospect
of mi; l ing a train.
My fen t urea relaxed; my eyes re
turned to the vicinity of their sockets;
my uioiiiU came shut like a steel trap
whose si.rlnir has suddenly been re
leased. Calm entered my spirit; my
pace slackened.
The face I had seen was tbat or tne
Uulou station clock, end it told me 1
had ten minutes to make my train.
