CHAPTER II.

It 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 flared
like huge bonfire against the Novem-
Der sky, and the winds tossed the dead
leaves about his feet with shivering
moan. The sleepy quail piped in the
stubble in a 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 a 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
as brave as my own"
Bessie didn't read the crumpled note
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 verifcation.
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-worn pathway leading to-
ward the valley home came . pair Of
light, flying feet; but John Anderson did
not hear, SO he kept on dreaming.
By and by lady wanted to pass. He
rose and stepped aside, hat in hand.
For moment the woman paused on the
stile, and then, with a glad cry Of recog-
milton, huttered right into his arms.

hand tremble on his arm and noted thu
changing color on her fair face.
In the cold, dull cleaning he had LET
her at her uncle's door with his frs
warm, passionate kiss on her lips, but h
had never seen her since. And was i
not curious that he could thus drop ou
of her life and she not mind? John re
membered how happy they both wert
that night, and felt that it was.
And there had been such . dark Page

she had said in answer, 'and shall write
you when to come as you DESIRE" Their
added, after moments hesitation
''about the holidays look for letter Of
invitation"
Well, John Anderson walked on all
until the time of the expected letter.
People remarked how bright-looking he
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 fiirt" 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
than to only SOW and reap and nothing
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 60 to the village to
night. OF course they wor]dp't have a7J
guests tomorrow, but he ana Bess gen.
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 noiselessly behind
him, he tried to avoid Bessie. He didn't
care to see her just then; there were
painful memories keeping him company.
His sister meant to be kind always, he
thought, but she was sort of strange
sometimes.
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 affirma-
tive.
Bessie came closer to him then and
looked into his care-lined face intently.
Something she saw there appealed to
her sisterly affection. She put her arms
about her brothers neck and whispered,
brokenly: Never mind, John; it will
be all right by and BY"
''Bess pities mel" almost sobbed the
great, strong man, as the wicket clicked
behind him and he turned into the Or
chard path.
Perhaps Thanksgiving memories had
been crowding in on Bessie's heart; per-
haps the thoughts of something sacred,
of which John never dreamed of, a ring
and promise unfulfilled, had something
to do with the caress under the gray No
vember skies.

An Ancient Indian Graveyard.

The z. d. Murphy farm at Mohegan,
Conn, offered for sale, contains the fa-
nous Mohegan graveyard, around which
have dwelt for 2C0 years the remnsnts of
tie faithful Uncas's tribe. ''The grave
yard, which is to go with the farm, was
started In the seventeenth century and Is
now well filled with tall gray stone
which the Indians boul BIT from the Puri
tans and their descendants. All Mohe.
gans are DESTROYS Of being buried there,
and ne the race Is nearly extinct, ths last
one will soon have been laid beneath It's
grassy mounds. Some of the stones have
rottcd away in consequence OF their ex-
IRENE age. Among the inscriptions the
names OF Uneas, Shautup and Ashbow
occur frequently. Ono stone marks the
last resting place Of Martha Uncas, q
eentenarian, who was q descendant OF
Uncas. Another, II preserved, marks
the grave OF Queen Esther, who ruled
over the Mohegans, and another is over
the grave of the Rev. Samuel Ashhow,
Zone OF the royal family" who died In
In 1895. The line quoted occurs on
many older stoues, hut on none OF those
more recently erected 1t may have
been that the prestige OF the kingly
family faded away, but It Is more proba-
bic that the few descendants of the old
chiefs died years ago. Uncas's grave al

Not yet 80 years oil age, mind you, and
yet Prince Alexander OF Battenburg has
experienced all the dark days and cross
ings In life that any young man can ever
hope to carry. A soldier of fortune, he
passed from the Prussian to the Russian
ranks, aud, without friends and few pros
poets, was SO sweetly smiled upon by
Dame Fortune that by and by he sat on
throne OF his own In a foreign land. OF
course the Bulgarian crown was not ex-
actly an ideal one to wear, but for a per
son whose most ambitious dream could
never have been more than to retire OF
the end OF his career as general, to paes
his old days in some German castle home
on half pay, 1t was good deal. How
ever, In u few short years, alter tasting
the sweets Of pow err, the grand captain OF
heroically gained battle fields learned the
inRratttude of a people and found his
royal Joys exhausted. Next he knew the
distress OF exile; then he picked up &C
quaintance with the delightful temper
and sarcasm of an English Queen, aud
finally, ut the house of a kinsmun ia
Datmstadt, met an opera singer OF the
third rank and fell IN love. Witha little
more patience, perhaps, he might have
been the brother In law OF mighty mon
arch, but he had had enough of the vani-
ties of this world, and wishes to choost
for vile good little creature with whom
to lead a tranquil and quiet life here

A romantic story connected with a
young Frenchman OF Fall River has lust
been brought to light. His name is Tan
cred Roussol. and he was left an orphan
In Canada at the age OF 10 years. He
had brother who left home 81 years ago
two years before Tanercl was born
and consequently the latter never kne "
OF his whereabouts. Some time ago
Tancred went from Fall River TO Bristol,
r. l., to work as mason's apprentice,
and one day entered into conversation
with fellow empioye about his former
home in Canada. When he told the
workman his name ana the circumstances
of his life, the latter replied that he knew
OF another orphan surnamed Roussel, i'm.
mensely rich, who resi- led in British Col
umbia, Canada, and suggested that he
might be the brother whom Tancred had
mentioned as bis only living relative.
Taucred had doubt of ever being able to
find his brother, but finally was Induced
to send letter to British Columbia to
inquire about the matter. He received u
reply asking him to give the names OF HIS
father and mother as proof of his iden-
tity. The names were right and the two
brothers have been unit, d

Aged Writers as Early Riscrs.

The veteran historian Bancroft does his
work In the early morning. He is at his
desk ut and leaves it at a. m, having
done his stlut. ebould like to ask Mr..
Bancroft if this WAS his habit when he
was in his twenties and thirtirs or even
his forties. When they arrive at his
present age, all men, or nearly all, are
early riscrs. They do not REQUIRE as
much sleep as younger men; they may 70

Mr.. Bancroft, however, retires early.
Ten O'Clock finds him snugly tucked be-
tween two sheets. The recent candidate

Thurman, though he retires to his room
at an early hour, usually reads until after
midnight; yet lie sGes the sun rise every

with success. beard a woman of let.
