THE HOMECOMING.
BY G. T. FERRIS.



lCopgvi9tt, 1888, by tAi Anisricln Press Assoeia-
tioal
When the congregation sang the
grand chorus OF "Praise God from
whom an blessings flow" at the close Of
the Thanksgiving service, Farmer Ash
ford felt that be had very much to be
thankful for. He was warm in this
worlds goods, and q big farm, sleek
herds, fat granaries and money at in.
terest made him notable among the
roral folks at Fairfield. Yet even his
wholesome piety could not withhold a
deep sigh as his eye scanned the empty
places In the family pew. There were
his son VIII and his handsome wife,
who had come home for the feast of the
year.
VIII had been prosperous in Boston
aud was all that a fathers heart could
Wish-upright, highly honOred as
man and merchant and on the road to
riches. There was his adopted daugh-
ter Kate, a distant relative by blood,
who made him and his wife almost for
get that they had buried oil their own
girls. But the partner OF his Joys and
SORROWS for As years was 90 home feeble
from a terrible attack of illness, half
blind and almost bedridden. This
Thanksgiving day would be the first
time she would have sat &C the table for
six mORths. The deep sore place, how
ever, was the thought Of Tom, the son,
who had been away for ten years, a
Wanderer on the face Of the earth.
"Wiu," said the farmer as they
logged home. do you know it's MORN
five years gone since we've had a line
from your brother, though I try to
think he is still Twin. Tom, though
wild and unsteady, had a warm heart
and pears to- me he would a-Written TO

log. j tell ye, VIII, twas less that
fever which left your mother so poorly
than her heart sickness for Tom, dear
soul. Oh, why did be ever leave a good
hOme?"
Will had the cheerful optimism which
so often goes with an easy life, and
then, too, he was anxious 70 comfort
the old man:
Don't feel that way abOutiJ, father.
Tom Will turn up all right yet, and he'll
burst In on you some day as lively as
cricket There never was fellow bet
ter a0le TO take care OF himself than
Tom, n he was a little WayWard. lie
always did like TO do the most odd and
unexpecten things. Why, do you
know, there was the captain OF one
OF our ships who was swept overheard
flo gale and thought to be lost for
seven years He was picked up at sea,
aud the ship which rescued him was
wrecked ia the south Pacific. The
things Le went through before he got
home would almost make your hair
stand up. And the romance was be re-
turned Just in time 20 stop his wife mar

The same diplomat beguiled the father
away, and Tom and Kate were left TO
themselves.
"Kate, you're handsomer than ever,
though I used to think you the pref
test girl in the place, and the sutfused
cheeks and brilliant eyes justified Toms
opinion. Il choke here in the house.
Come out under the apple trees.

limbs, dye remember twas here l said
almost my last words to you, mad boy
that 1 was? Why didn't you marry
Seth?"
Because I never cared for him."
''Never?" said Tom. "He declared
to me that you were plighted lovers,
and that you didn't wish father and
mother to know it at present-that he
was breaking promise to tell even me.
1T was false, false" she said, with
Indignation. Glow could such thing
be- true when p breaking down and
her eyes falling before the intense ques-
tioning of his own.
MY God! is lt-can it oe?"
Kate's figure trembled with
a slight assent, and he lifted
her from her feet and kissed her again
and again on cheeks and lips. "And l
have lost years of precious life and love
from that that knave's wicked lie.
"But Kate, my darling, / ought to

beating heart.

chievously.
The farmer glanced reproof at his
daughter-in-law, for he did not like TO
have his fayorita ridiculed, but now
they driven 70 the front door Of the
spacious farmhouse, and the keen eye
Of the old man noted a strange figure
standing at the parlOr window. The
hired man, Gideon, came running out
to take the horses, full of excitement.

words tum0ling from his mouth, "there's

There was silence. Toms face was
pale and strained. The wait was the
suspense of one standing for sentence.
That sentence quickly came. 1t was an
arm thrown about his neck and long
kiss Of perfect love and trust laid on his
lips.
The visit of Seth Warner that night,
who entered Familiarity, not noticing a
stranger at first, brought them an
uuctuCus smile to oil the greeting,
which improved the occasion.
