There is one Thanksgiving in Wichita
that is a bit peculiar. There is one old
widow in moderate circumstances who
lives down on one of the crOss-streets, in
the South Side, who has a single guest an
nually on that day. He is a rather fair
looking, muscular old man, and early
Thanksgiving morning you can see him
sitting on the front porch, or walking
about smoking his pipe refectively. But
you can see him there only at that hour
and day, and then he disappears Some
years ago one of the neighbors noticed the
same thing occur on that morning, and he
told another neighbOr of it, and together
with others they witnessed the same thing
happen the following year. The gOssips
got hold of il, and coming 10 the old lady's
ears. she told her story. Years ago in an
eastern town, she was engaged TO this man
and lifted him because he failed in bust
ness. Stung by gossips' tongues. be came
west and learned the trade Of a blacksmith
in one of the little towns not far ont Of
Wichita. She and her husband years
ago came TO this town, and Il was
but a short time until he died. Her
old lover, still true to her, pressed his suit
again. But he was not successful she
however. extended him a general invita-
tation 10 visit her Thanksgiving day, and
this he has done every year. Since, she
has told him that she loves him, but her
religious views, she says, do not counter
ance a second marriage. The height Ors
say that the old man has never given up
hope and every Thanksgiving day comes
