BILE day. Thanksgiving had fallen that
year on Dec. 25, and the combination Of
evacuation day and that festival were
long jointly honored in New York.

American theater was first illuminated

affair was DR.. Kingler. During the war,

honored institution. For a month before

THANKSGIVING DUEL.

y T was Thanksgiving Day, and this 10
the story as it was told by Miss Pep
- per, the fine needle worker, at the
woman's boarding house on Tenth street:
'sYou see, my dears," said Miss Pepper,
who was like a sweet faded old rose In
the group of eager young women about
her. 'tthe trouble with Jack Brice was
this: He was heels over head in love with
my cousin, Margery Lee, but he was too
poor to marry.
"He lived with his uncle, Tom Brice, Of
the Mansion House-old Squire Brice, as
ail the county called him, though he
wasn't more than 80; and naturally when
they both came counting Margery, her
father favored the squire's suit most. But
Nargery favored Jacks, and showed It
openly.

outweighed the squire's gold, but when
her father found out which way the wind
was blowing he forbade Marcy to see him
again. She said nothing, for she was not
O GIRL to talk. But every night she wrote
him a long letter, that she would hide IN
q hollow tree stump, and that Jack would
come and take away.
Sometimes, too, In the early morning,
hardly daylight, she would jump on her
bay mare, Hornet, and dash two miles
down the river to the ford, where Jack
would be waiting, and would swim his
horse over from the other side, just to
have Eve minutes talk with her.
..Ah, but they were in love, can tell
youi And never saw better matched

whether my uncle ever heard of their
goings on I don't know. But he stopped
talking against Jack and urging the

me both, for lived with them, that old
Tom had him in his power and could ruin
him, and now that she wouldn't marry
aim he was going to take his revenge.
''Then he fell sick, and seemed likely to
die, and my poor cousin was in terrible
quandary.
'.She loved Jack, but she loved her
father, too And she felt it was worry
that was killing him.
Zone terrible night, when we were al
most expecting my uncle to breathe his
hast, Marcy fell on her knees and promis-
ID she'd marry the squire, and he at once
began to get better with astonishing
Quickness.
"She wrote Jack one letter, one curt
cold letter, that abe sat two days over;
and that he tore In half and sent back

This left the field Of love open to the
squire, and he made the most Of it, coming
every afternoon to our place. spruced up

meanwhile the wedding arrangements
were going on with wicked hurry. Ny
uncle seemed like one possessed to have
It over with. And Marcy, numb with
misery and worn to shadow with long

was afraid if too long put off she would
lose courage for the sacrifice; perhaps
she was all the time hoping and praying

AS women can pray sometlmes-for the
very daring thing that did happen.
''That night, l remember, it stormed.
The wind howled, and all along the coun-
try road the big oaks swung their arms
and creaked as if ready to fall on our
rumbling old carriage.
"It was Thanksgiving night, festival
not in favor in the South in those days,
and we were going to the mansion house
TO a family dinner. The wedding was
only three days off now, and the squire
had taken a fancy to keep it in honor Of
his coming happiness.

said, gayly, as I bundled up the stairs

that was to leave her in his home forever.
"She WINGED as il he had struck her,
her face as white as her muslin frock, and
I verify believe that If he hadn't walked
her into the dining room on his arm she
would have fallen.
what sort Of dinner did they have?
Why, the best in the world, you may be
sure!
1.-THE Mansion House was the finest
place in the county-for that matter in
all South Carolina-and the squire knew
good living, and the big mahogany table
fairly groaned under cut glass and silver.
'fUncle and I were at each side, and
Marcy was at the foot in the place Of
honor; where, three times day, she was
soon to face old Tom, until death should
mercifully take one or the other of them
out Of the world. None of us talked much;
none, even my uncle, who was emptying
goblet after goblet of wine to drown his
thoughts. And when the squire stood up
suddenly with his champagne glass to
toast the bride-a frozen bride that look
ed ready for the tomb almost welcomed
the interruption that followed.
