walk a step since she was SIX years
odd"
And them Kitty told all the sad, ten
der little story, and got to crying over
1t herself, and made her mother cry, tor
before she was through.
Early on Thanksgiving Day, kitty
set forth with Luke, In the coupe, which
also contained huge basket filled with
dainties-a turkey, a mince pie. and q
variety of good things. There were
also a new dress, a comfortable jacket,
and neat hat.
u have come 10 take you TO ride"
said Kitty, as she bounded into the
room where Tom sat, and affectlonately
kissed the crippled girl.
In few minutes, arrayed In her new
habiliments. Tom was ready for the
ride.
How viii l get down stairs?" Tom
asked.
Luke was called in, and that mystery
was solved.
Luke took her up as II she we're a
baby and marched down stairs with
her, while she heard Kitty say-but 1t
all seemed to her like a dream, and
kittys voice like voice in a dream;
I'm sorry there's nothing pretty to
SEQ at this time of the year. 1t was
so lovely outdoors six weeks ago"
Through Beach street they went, and
then through Boylston, and the COM
mon was beside them, with its tree
boughs traced against the November
sky, and the sun shone on Frog Pond,
and the dome of the state house gilt
tered goldenly, and there were merry
people walking about everywhere, with
their Thanksgiving faces on; and at
last Tom breathed a long deep breath
which was almost sob, and cried:
Did you think there was Aothlng
pretty to see today-thls day? Why, 1
didn't know there was such a world"
The clocks had struck twelve when
they left Hudson street; the bells were
ringing for one when they entered it
again.
Kitty ran lightly up stairs followed
by Lake, with Tom in his arms,
Kitty threw open the door, aid there
was table spread with as good a
Thanksgiving dinner as the heart could
desire, with Toms chair drawn up be-
side 1t. Luke let his light burden down.
Kitty waited to hear neither thanks
nor EXPLANATIONS. She saw Toms
brown eyes as they rested on the table,
and that was enough. She bent for one
moment over the bright face - the
cheeks which the outdoor air had
painted red as the rose that had just
opened in honor of the day-and left
on the young, sweet, wistful lips a kiss,
and then went silently down the stairs,
leaving Tom and Toms mother to their
Thanksgiving.

ly clean, and Toms chair was soft AID
comfortable-as indeed, a chair ought
to be which must be sat in from morn
ing till night, Opposite to 1t were n
few pictures on the wall-engravings
taken from books and magazines, and
given, probably, to Mrs. Graham by
some of her lady customers. Within
easy reach was a little stand, on which
stood rose bush in pot, and basket
full Of bright coloreG Sorsteds, while a
book or two lay beside them
"And you never go out?" cried Kitty,
forgetting her errand in her sympathy
forgetting, too that Luke and his i'm
patient horse were waiting below.

down into the street sometimes but I've

can't But I'm not very dull, even
when she's gone. You wouldn't guess
how many things I see from my win

and tides, and mother sells them; and

Kitty stepped to the window to see
what range of vision it offered, and her
eye fell on Luke. She recalled her
business.

mother to sew two or three days for me

Tom was alert and buslness-llke at

Kitty pulled off her pretty gray
glove and wrote her name and address

her chatelaine; and then she turned 10

looked on with interest. Indeed,
1t was her gowns, rather than
her mothers, that were most
pressing, She was just sixteen, and
since last winter she had shot up sud
denly, as girls at that age so often do,
and outgrown most of her clothes.
Mrs. Greenough was right-it was
another seamstress; and Bridget
showed in a plain, sad-looking woman,
of about forty, with an air of intense
responsibility. Mrs. Greenough ex-
planned what she wanted done, and the
woman said quietly that she was ac-
customed to such work-would Mrs.
Greenough be so kind as to look at some
recommendations? Whereupon she
handed out several lady-like notes,
whose writer's Endorsed the bearer, Mrs.
Margaret Graham, as faithful and capa-
BILE, used to trimmings Of all sorts, and
quick to catch an idea.
VERY well, indeedw Mrs. Greenough
said as she finished reading them. Il
ask nothing better. Can you be ready
to come at once"
Tomorrow, II you wish, madame,
was the answer, and then Mrs. Graham
went away.
Kitty Greenough was an impulsive,
imaginative girl; no subject was too
dull or too unpromising for her fancy
to touch it. She made story for her.
self about every new person who came
in her way. After Number Eleven had
gone down the stairs, Kitty laughed.
isn't she sobersides, mamma?
don't believe there'll be any frisk in
my dresses at all il she trims them"
"There'll be frisk enough in them If
you wear them," her mother answered,
smiling at the bright, sau2y, winsome
face Of her one tall daughter.
Kitty was ready to turn the CONVEX
sation.
"What do you think she is, mamma
wife or widow" And then answering
her own question: 81 think she's mar
ried, and her husbands sick, and she
has to take care of him. That solemn,
still way she has comes of much stay
ing in sick room. She's in the habit
of keeping quiet, don't you see? I
wish she were little prettier; think
he would get we'll quicker"
"There'd be no plain; quiet people in
your world if you made one," her
mother said, smiling; "but you'd make

That nights Of restful blessedness
Have followed each new morn;
That flowers have blOssomed by thu
paths
That thread our working days,
That love has filled US with delight,
We offer heartfelt praise.
What shall we say of sorrows hours,
OF hunger and denial,
OF tears, and loneliness, and loss,
OF long and bitter trial?
Oh, in the darkness have not we
Seen new, resplendent stars?
Have we not learned some song Of faitl
Within our prison bars?
Not only for the Earth's rich gifts,
Strewn thick along our way,

But for the spirits subtle growth,
The higher, better part,
The treasures gathered in the soul
The harvest Of the heart.

a mistake to leave them out. You
would get tired even of the sun if it
shone all the time"
The next day the new seamstress
came, and thoroughly good one she
proved; better even than Lizzie" Mrs.
Greenough said, and this was high
praise. She sewed steadily, and never
opened her lips except to ask some Ques-
tions about her work. Even Kitty,
who used to boast that she could make
dumb man talk, had not audacity
enough to intrude on the reserve in
which Mrs. Graham intrenched herself.
Hes worse, this morning." whis-
pered saucy Kitty to her mother; "and
she can do nothing but think about
him and mind her gathers"
But, by the same token, che" must
have been worse every day, for during
the two weeks she sewed there, Mrs.
Graham never spqke of anything be-
yond her work.

BENJAMIN'S WIT.
The Eminent Southerner Usually Had
Something Pleasant to Say.

Something Pleasant to Say.
Judah P. Benjamin of Louisiana, a
member of Davis cabinet and an able law
yer, was fond of his Jokes. Once he hap
pened to arrive in a town the day after a
political meeting. A large number of
those who attended it were guests at the
same hotel where he happened to stop.
After examining the register he turned TO
the clerk and said:
"The boys had pretty jolly time last
night, didn't theyF'
dyes, they did," answered the clerk,
"but how did you happen to know"
why" replied Benjamin, pointing to
the book before him, ~ can always tell
how the boys are acting when they are
away from home by examining their sigma
lures. If they put down a lot of HERO
glyphics on the hotel registers instead of
the letters which spell their names, then
know that they are having n very pleasant
visit indeed.
"Do you know" he added after pause,
"that political meetings are often followed
by paralysis of the right handS'
"And of the brain alsoF" replied the
other.
"No, 1 don't think So" answered Ben
jamin, "because the brain has to be pretty
well paralyzed before man is fool enough
to go into politics, at least for living"
On another occasion in the trial of a
case Benjamin was pressing witness
pretty hard. Tho man was unwilling to
make certain admissions and hcmmed,
hawcd and hesitated and tried in every
way possible to evade the questions. Aft
or this had been going on for some time
the judge said:

What is the matter with your throat"
