Hope Grey's Thanksgiving.
BY U. V.

BY v.
There is nothing in my life to be
thankful for thought Hope Grey,
rs she YEARLY climbed the stairs
that led to a mite of room on the
top floor of the crowded tenement
she called home.
All day, with a chokingssoblin her
throat, she had sat in damp, cheer
less room and trimmed hats until
her fingers and eyes ached. and
shen, at night, to be discharged be-
cause tiny drop of blood from her
pricked fingers fell on bit of vel
vet! To the friendless orphan girl it
was a bitter misfortune and her
whole soul rebelled against tie in
justice.
Poor Hope Grey! The past ten
years had been to her a continual
struggle for existence. In this time
she had seen her mother laid in the
grave and herself left alone IN the
world, with only her own labor be.
tween starvation and life.
She was slender, graceful girl,
whose resolute, cheerful spirit shone
through her clear, brown eyes; but
to night the brown eyes were dim
with unshed tears, and as she sat by
she window and gazed into the driz
zIing twilight she gave herself up to
the memory of the past.
Far back in the past she was
child again, surrounded by all that
owing parents could provide, and as
she dreamed of these days the tears
rolled down the pale cheeks and the
sensitive mouth quivered with emo
ton.
& few years had brought great
changes. The precious loving mother
had slowly died of want and sorrow,
and the helpless child could only
weep in bitter anguish at the loss
which left her utterly friendless.
From the day the earth hid her
mothers tender face from view,
Hope knew she stood alone in the
world.
Slowly and painfully the terrible
dark days came back to her as she
sat in the deepening gloom.
The father had liked the social
glass, then followed an unconquer-
able thirst that had literally drunk
up business, home andemsnhood.
Again Hope could see the sad
pleading eyes of her mother and the
growing poorer and poorer until the
deepest poverty was coupled with
she keener anguish of disgrace.
Then followed the secret hurrying
away of the husband and father,
who in an hour of terrible tempta-
hon had thrown away his honor and
principle.
Branded with the crime of forgery
the poor wreck of humanity fed to a
distant state, and nothing was heard |
of him for two long sgonizing years.
At last came the tidipgs that he had
been killed in drunken brawI in
San Francisco The shock was too
great for the feeble wife, and Hope
saw her mother laid away in her last
sleep, young woman yet, but with
hair as white as the purest snow.
The poor, tired body had found
rest, but for Hope there was no such
escape. She was young and strong
aud must live on in a continual
struggle for a life that was filed
only with bitter memories.
As it grew darker she arose from
she window and. lighting her lamp,
began to count the money in her
purse. It was little sum, and It
brought more wildly before the
lonely girl her forlorn situation.
"Oh. what will become Of me
when this is gone" she asked her
self, as she walked nervouzly up ard

had grasped the back of q chair and
would have fallen but for the timely
aid of his clerk.
As soon as he recovered he began
to question Darwood. Did he know
the artists address? and question
after question followed, but the
clerk could tell him almost nothing.
"The lady had called in the morn
ing and offered the picture for sale.
He had liked the picture and bought
it. She had given her name, but the
address he did not know"
"Jasper, everyone in the store
must be questioned" said the old
gentleman, as he wrung his hands
in evident anguish, aud so the as
tonished clerk set about asking every
man aud boy in the place if he knew
anyone named Hope Grey. It would
have seemed ludicrous to Darwood
but for the distress of his employer.
He met with 40 success until he
came to one of the little boys who
busted the counters.
Yes, he knew Miss Grey. She
lived next door to him, and when
his mother was sick Miss Grey came
in and; but Mr.. Newton didn't
listen to any more. Having check
ed boy and found out the name of
the street and number of the house,
he hailed cab and was soon on his
way to the place.
It never occurred to him that this
might not be the Hope Grey he
sought Some instinct told him his
long search was ended.
Hope sat alone in her little room,
when she was startled by a loud
knock. and a moment after the door
opened and the long separated
father and daughter were face to
face.
It took some time to tell the story
of John Greys wanderings.
He had not been killed in the |
drunken brawl, but it had been In
the same place that he had first
awakened to O sense of his terrible
position.
To return home was dangerous,
for the shadow of the law hung
over him; but after amassipg a
fortune the longing for his family
became so strong that one morning
he set off for the east, ready to face
the danger of Imprisonment if he
could but see his loved ones again

Suddenly she stopped before 6
little stand, as though some plan
had come to her busy brain.
''If l could only sell it,! she said
as she took up a small, unframed
painting. It was q bit of lowland
with the sea shimm ering in the dis
lance, on which could be seen the
white sail of ship homeward bound
Her mother in the happier days
had been skillful with the brush and
pencil, and had taught the little
that she knew to Hope. It had
served to brighten many a weary
hour for both mother and daughter,
and after the mothers death Hope
had gone on in her own way paint
/ ing all the old scenes she could
remember, often denying herself
many comforts that she might buy
the few touches of color.
/ Youth easily takes courage, and
the picture brought new life to
Hope. The next morning, with the
picture tied up in a paper, she set
out for a certain picture dealer,
whose windows had often attracted
her attention.
She tried to still her wildly beat
ing heart as she entered the store
and inquired if they bought paint.
ings.
"Have you one for sale?' asked
the clerk, looking curiously at the
shabby. slender figure.
"Yes.' returned Hope, beginning
to unite her parcel.
"Mr. Darwood attends to that
business" said the clerk, and before
Hope could reply she was ushered
into Mr.. Darwood's office. A tall,
ine-looking man arose at her en-
trance and politely inquired what he
could do for her. With trem bling
fingers Hope took off the paper and
handed him the picture for inspec-
ton. After what seemed to her an
age, during which time she had
vainly tried to read his decision in
his face, he turned and glanced at
her with look of interest. The
pale, delicate face, with it's look of
trouble, told more plainly than
words the need that had brought
her there. Moreover, the quick
glance had shown him that the
brown-eyed CIR! was a gentlewoman.
''The picture is we'll done," he
said, all the while thinking what
lovely eyes she had and wondering
who she could be. "We are giving
five dollars apiece for such paint
ings. and I will take this at the same
price if agreeable to you," he con.
tinued.
Agreeable to herr To Hope it
was fortune, and after being told
that anything she could do in the
same line would BE- paid for, she
went home to look and look at this
money, which had been earned so
pleasantly and that would open a
way to earn an honest living.
Jasper, where did you get this
picture?" asked Mr.. Newton that
afternoon of his head clerk.
Mr. Newton was the proprietor of
the art store where Hope had sold
her painting.
Jasper Darwood hurried TO his
employers side TO see which partic
ular picture was meant,
'Oh, that one" he replied as he
caught sight of the one the old gen
tleman was looking at so earnestly.
Il bought it this morning of a lady.
1t is very good one he added.
The clerk thought he was examin.
