Rhode Island votes to-day upon the proposed
repeal Of the prohibition provision in the state
constitution. The anti-prohibitionists have to
overcome the 5000 majority in a total vote OF
less than $4,000, by which the amendment was
carried in 1886; and, more than this, they must
swell their own majority until three-ffths
vote has been secured. They are encouraged
in this formidable labor by the fact that since
the election Of 1886 foreign-born citizens ex-
ceeding in number the prohibition majority
have gained the right to vote in the state. by va
rious indications Of change of opinion among
many who formerly favored constitutional
prohibition. and by the influence of the recent
decisions of sachusetts, New Hampshire,
and Pennsylvania on the same question. The
overwhelming defeat Of prohibition in Pennsyl-
vania is doubtless to be attributed in part to
the fact that fairly good license system is
now in force and on trial in that state and that
il has been vigorously and effectively enforced
in some OF the large cities, the liquor centers
OF the state, with greater practical results in
abolishing saloons than constitutional prohibi-
ton itself might accomplish in the same places.
The situation Of Rhode Island Ia not the
same in this respect, and a smaller propor-
ton Of the temperance people who question
whether constitutional prohibition prohibits
may be expected to vote against the existing
law In Rhode Island than the proportion of
this class in Pennsylvania who voted against
merely proposed law, which would overthrow
apractical temperance measure that appeared
to be working well. To vote prohibition out Of
the Rhode Island constitution is to leave the
state for time at least without state restriction
upon the liquor traffic. For the reasons sug-
gested the contest Of to-day is somewhat more
doubtful In results than the other recent bat
ties over constitutional prohibition, but the
anti-prohibitionists are apparently trife more
confident of victory than their opponents.

face that attracted Muriel 1rowbridge to
his side as more than friend on her
first visit to Folly Mill farm.
But that was years ago, and tonight
that almost feminine sweetness had
been transformed into an expression in
dicating heartache.
1t hadn't all come about just tonight,
but this evening it seemed that the
acme OF sad disappointment had been
reached.
John looked at his face as reflected in
the mirror and a strange, yearning ques-
tioning came into the misty gray eyes
involuntarily.
Yes" he said, slowly. as if in an
swcr, Il am growing old; there's tinge
of gray already in my hair, and l am

That was as far as John Anderson

auy. The unspoken surged back to his
heart, where the altar fires burned

no other image should ever be placed
on the pedestal sacred to her memory.
Mysteriously and in an unexplain-
able manner she had gone out of his
life on Thanksgiving night some four
years previous; but he kept the light of
hope burning in the windows of his soul
for her return, for Muriel was Muriel
still.
Sister Bessie had no patience with his
''moping;" but then he thought she had
never had such experiences, and that
accounted for her lack Of sympathy.
The broad acres of Folly Mill farm be-
longed to the twain; but the pleasant,
roomy villa seemed so lonely now since
that memorable summer.

the years had drifted away and now to-
morrow would be another anniversary.

NAV be a much keener delight to re-

CHAPTER II.

1t wasn't far to the village just over
there beyond the little white church
where, four years ago, Muriel Trowbridge
played the Thanksgiving anthem.
And he would walk across the mead
ows; he wanted to be alone with neither
beast nor bird to see. Out there beyond
the hills the sunset burned and tlared
like huge bonfire against the Novem-
Der sky. and the winds tossed the dead
leaves about his feet with a shivering
moan. The sleepy quail piped in the
stubble in monotonous way, but John
Anderson didn't mind.
, When he came to the stile he sat down
to dream bit. Somehow Bessie's part
ing words, together with the western
cleaning, had lighted up his twilight
hour amazingly.
His eyes wandered away to the great
white farmhouse showing up through
the shadowy valley. Yes, she loved
music, Muriel did, and sang SO sweetly.
Hark! Was that little melody she
used to sing coming up across the brown,
deserted meadows? No; it was only a
memory, and he remembered that he
was sitting alone on the stile in the
gray, cold twilight of Thanksgiving
Eve.
Bessie went slowly into the house aft
er she heard the wicket shut behind
her brother and knew that he was on
his way to the village. She did not re-
turn to the sitting-room fire and the
book she had been reading, however;
no, she went directly upstairs, took a
box from her secretary and, going over
to the window in the cleaning, sat
down.
"May be Ashley is dead" she said,
sadly; may be the Indiaman went down
somewhere with all on board, as was
rumored; may be it did"
The ring CLEANED family in the dusky
light as she put it on her finger. "Be
true, Bessie; be true" the bit of paper
said. 81 shall always remember that
my love is waiting for me with heart
as brave as my own"

tonight. There was no need; she knew
every word by heart long ago. For six
long years they had lain, the note and
the promise, waiting their verification.
After few minutes thought Bessie
returned her treasures to their hiding
place, and, brushing away few tears
bravely and hopefully, went downstairs
to wait for John and the letters.
Up the well-yorn pathway leading to-
ward the valley home came a pair OF
light, flying feet; but John Anderson did
not hear, so he kept on dreaming.

rose and stepped aside, hat in hand.
For moment the woman paused on the
stile, and then. with glad cry of recog-

hall were filled with merry groups, and
the long tables were set in the great
dining-room to hold the display Of
Bessie's Thanksgiving dinner.
And what a chattering there was! He
should always remember 1t, and how
happy he was with her SO near and dear
to him.
Tomorrow they would come home
from services in the old white chapel

John shut his lips tightly and the
lines Of patient suffering deerened
about his mouth.
Muricl Trowbridge was blue-eyed,
fair-haired, dainty little woman with
the sweetest smile and most musical
voice John Anderson had ever seen.
And on the Thanksgiving Day before
she went away they had walked across
the brown and wind-swcpt meadows
together and talked of friends and
friendships, and she had grown quite

serious, for as he talked he felt her
hand tremble on his arm and noted the
changing color on her fair face.
In the cold, dull cleaning he had left
her at her uncle's door with his first
warm, passionate kiss on her lips, but he
mad never seen her since. And was it
not curious that he could thus drop out
OF her life and she not mind? John re-
membered how happy they both were
that night, and felt that it was.
And there had been such a dark mage
turned down over that golden-lettered
one that not a ray of loves sunshine
had ever been able to pierce its gloom.
II want you to visit me, certainly"
she had said in answer, 'and shall write
you when to come as you desire" Then
added, after moments hesitation,
about the holidays look for letter of
invitation"
Well, John Anderson walked on air
until the time of the expected letter.
People remarked now pr1gnt-,uosing ne-
had grown to be; he could hardly be
called plain John" any more. But
some Of the mothers of the neighbor-
hood who had manageable daughters
guessing at the reason of this change
were cruel enough to wish that he might
never hear from that "city firt" again.
And the years rolled on, and the letter
never came. The envious matrons were
satisfied, and the girls of Folly Mill So
ciety nodded and smirked, but plain
John Anderson grew palmer and farther
away.
Once, only once, Bessie had grown
cross and said hard things. He was
speaking of his great passion for music
and his longing for higher aspirations
more; and she had reminded him that
he had tried once to fly higher than
his homely wings allowed Of"
Wincing under this sore thrust, he
never mentioned the subject so near to
his heart again.
Well, he must go to the village to
night. OF course they wouldn't have any
guests tomorrow. but he and Bess gem
orally received Thanksgiving letters, and
she set so much by getting them the
night before. ''Thank-offerings' she |
called them.
Going quietly downstairs and shut
ting the hall door noisclessly behind |
him, he tried to avoid Bessie. He didn't
care to see her just then: there were
painful memories keeping him company.
He ututnr 10 hn l-tpl oil hf,l |
thought, but she was sort of strange
Nevertheless, halfway down the walk,
under the great pear tree which stretched |
its naked arms up toward the silent,
cleaning heavens, she met him.
Going over to the village?" she asked,
in voice kindlier than usual, and John
paused while he answered in the atiirma
tive.
Bessie came closer to him then and
locked into his care-lined face inSPrt.y.
Something she saw there appealed to
her sistcrly affection. She put her arms
about her brothers neck and whispered,
Never mind, John; it will
be all right by and by"
''Bess pities me!' almost sobbed the
great, strong man, as the wicket licked
behind him and he turned into the or
,hard path.
Perhaps Thanksgiving memories had
,een crowding in on Bessie's heart; per-
laps the thoughts of something sacred,
If which John never dreamed OF, a ring
md a promise unfulilled, had something
@ do with the caress under the gray No
