PUPILS OF THE ACADEMY

VIII Give Their Grand Concert This
Evening.
Tonight at the opera house will be
given the grand concert and musical
entertainment for which the pupils of
the Sacred Heart academy have been
preparing for several weeks past.
If there is any virtue in careful re-
hearsing and painstaking effort the
concert should be pronounced musical
treat. The young ladies of the institu-
tion have done little else for a month
past but make the neighborhood re-
sound with song, piano beat and recita-
ton and the assurance is given that
everyone of them is perfect in her part.

A MEMORABLE DINNER.

time that joyous occasion had fallen
since young Mrs. Lambkin had acquired
her matronly title. All the relatives on

all had accepted. Consequently. it WIS

morning, decided that she couldn't
abide no such doings" and taken tri-
uInphant leave.
Mrs. Lamblin sat weeping among the
unwashed breakfast dishes when her
husband appeared. staggering under a
market basket laden with holiday fare.
''Oh. Alpheus, my heart is broken,"
she walled. What will your mother
say?-
"But, you know, you have been so
proud of your cookery; doubtless you

CRANKY, transformed from a tramp into
a conventional gentleman in evening
dress, sat at the right hand of the host
ess at the grand turkey dinner that
evening. having been introduced to the
other guests as an old friend of the
family. At least two persons at that
table were in harmony with the spirit
of the occasion. for their hearts throbbed
with gratitude and JOY during the
whole of that Thanksgiving feast.
1t was only two months later that
Kingsley hall was the scene of bril-
liant wedding reception, and Maurice
CRANKY had come there to stay.

Miss Victoria Kingsley, Of Kingsley
hall. could afford to be little eccentric,
people said. Not only was she rich and
beautiful and highly accomplished, but
she had reached the mature age Of six
and-twenty and was mistress OF her
own fortune. Prior to the death Of her
parents, both of whom had succumbed
IN the same month to prevailing fever,
the family had resided in the city,
spending a portion of each summer
only at their handsome country seat.
But soon after her bereavement the
young lady had gone into seclusion at
Kingsley hall, which was part of her
heritage, and had since lived in the
strictest retirement there, receiving no
visitors except when heryounger broth
er, Robert, brought party of his booI
companions up from town for a few
days recreation during the shooting
season.
IL was now three years since Miss
Kingsley had been left an orphan. At
her age this was long time to renounce
society. and il was not strange that the
world pronounced her eccentric. But
that portion of the world residing in
the wealthy and eminently respectable
village of Pennstock began To have
hopes for her when she suddenly
emerged from her sequestration so far
as to become the hostess of a Thanks
giving dinner party. The truth was
that Miss Kingsley had been doing
some serious thinking. 1t had Oc-
cured to her, upon reflection. that peo-
pie had a right to conclude that she was
ssIpremely selfish and proud. and she
decided to set aside this verdict. If pos
sible, by giving a series of entertain
ments at her house. Thanksgiving day
was at hand. and she began to put her
plan into execution by inviting num-
Der of her church acquaintances in the
village to dine at Kingsley hall on that
day.
OF course the invitations were all
promptly accepted, and the event was
looked forward to as something out of
