chicken, its cold roast beef, its hot

De Long mansion in Chicago that
frightened his mother and astonished
his father.

marked Buffalo, arrives. Jack opens
it and finds two dollar bill and con-
ventionally polite note of thanks, re-

Thanksgiving day again. bad day
for travelling. but John De Long, of
Chicago does not look as if he regarded
it a hardship as he gets off the Chicago
express at Buffalo. And this fragment
of conversation has rather a sound OF
thanksgiving than otherwise.

Buffalo? | never expected to see you

society there is no reason to suppose
that there is larger proportion
of drunkards of either sex than there
were at any earlier period; but it is
unquestlonaDle that both danes anC
damsels in these days manage, as a rule
rather than as an exception, to imbibt
a quantity of strong drink which would
have surprised their predecessors of {

c2~o. Time. $50 p. m. Jack is feel
ing down on his luck, Called home by
an urgent telegram in the midst of the
Thanksgiving vacation of his senior
year, he has missed Thanksgiving
dinner with Il Jolly party of his college
mates, to say nothing of broken en-
gagcmcnt for the german with the
prelticst girl in Binghamton. When
he pays the parlor car conductor sew
entg-tivc cents for seat to Hornells-
Vile and engages berth in the sleep
or to be put on at that station he
makes the discovery that he has but
S5.l2 current coin of the realm in ad-
dition to his ticket to Chicago. This
does not add cheerfulness to his frame
of mind And there is not pretty
girl in the car.
His gloomy meditation is broken by
the arrival of the train at Elmira. On
the station platform, in response to his
telegram, are two gentlemen-Mr.
Richard Robbins and MIR. Alfred Jane
classmates and residents of Ell
mira. Jack jumps off, and an animated
conversation follows. At this juncturc
= group appears upon the station plat
fOrm-two young ladies, an elderly
lady and tcn-year-old girl.

Miss Raymond examining her purse

7. C.--Pay fare, anyway.
7. {. C.-The little girl can go for
ward in one of the regular coaches.
Miss Raymond finds enough in her
purse to pay half fare to Buffalo and
hands it to the train conductor.
During this scene Jack has been in
tently looking out of the window in a
de ,ideGly uncomfortable frame of mind,
His heart is not by any means broken
at the prospect of losing the company
OF the little girl, but when he thinks
he sees just suspicion of a glistcn
under Miss Raymond's downcast lids,
with their heavy, soft lashes, he can
stand it no longer.

bill with the air of u millionaire) -
Allow me- Miss Raymond Here, con
ductor,
The parlor-car conductor takes his
money without the slightest scruple,
returns Jack three dollars, and passes
on. Jack devotes the next ten min
utes to assuring Miss Raymond that it
isn't Of the slightest consequence; that
it will not inconvenience him the
least bit in the world, etc. Miss Ray
mond says she will send 1t to him the
next morning and asks his address in
Buffalo. When she finds he's going
through to Chicago she is more dis
tressed than ever, and declares she will
get that dreadful two dollars from her
uncle that very night when he meets
her at the depot. OF course her dis
tress gives Jack an opportunity to say
a great many things of sort suited to
the circumstances, and he feels like
hugging--the little girl. 1t is really a
very interesting conversation that is
interrupted by the appearance of a
, brakeman and a sound that resembles
Observation-Disclosures"
Jack thinking he will get his two
dollars at Buffalo, asks if he may get
them some "freShments. They de-
cline, with thanks. He excuses him
self, invests in sandwich, cup of
coffee, and package of cigarettes
forty cents. He then hunts up the
Sleeping-car conductor and pays him
| two dollars for the berth he had en-
gagged, leaving seventy-two cents in
the treasury. He then draws the par

Conductor, | have berth in the

them and see that they get through

Sorry, sir, but If you sit in the par.

Jack hands over fifty cents and rejoins
Miss Raymond. The little girl goes to
sleep; also the passengers. Time flies
with a vengeance, and all too soon the
train rumbles into the depot at Buffalo.
They alight to meet Miss Raymond's
uncle. The uncle kisses Miss Raymond
with affection, but looks inquiringly a,
