By three o'clock in the afternoon the last pie, steaming hot, was placed beside many others in neat rows on the pantry shelves, the enormous turkey. brown and crisp, lay in regal state be- side a spiced ham. Cakes, snowy loaves of home made bread, jars of preserved fruits, iellies and marmalades and pats of golden butter were arranged in tempting array. Aunt Sarah gave a sigh of satisfaction as she surveyed the goodly store.
 Here, Susie Belle" she said, filing the child's hands with some of the choicest cookies. "Take these and eat them. We've got enough for to-mor- row. Let me see, Jim has fire children. Well, l want those little ores to have a real, oldfashioned dinner or once in their lives. l don't believe they ever had one out there in Missouri. Dear mel how it does rain!" she eiaculated; but I'm not mite afraid of it's keep ing Jim's folks at home. Once Jim sets his head to do thing, he always would have his way or die"

 The child, dumb with astonishment, could only gasp: "Yes'm" She stood watching the resolute figure until it was lost to view, and turned away with a shiver as she thought of the distance to the village. She knew nothing of the interview with MT. Stanton. She understood, however, that only some stern duty or pressing necessity could take Aunt Sarah from home so late and on such stormy evening.
 Notwithstanding her promise to re- turn promptly, it was nearly two hours before Aunt Sarah threw the doors of her sitting-room invitingly open.
 Come right in," she said, cheerily, "every one of you, just as fast as you can"
 Susie Belle, who had fallen asleep after weary watch, started at the sound of Aunt Sarah's voice. She fell back few steps and began to rub her eyes. What could it mean? She was surely dreaming. Pouring into the room were rough men and miserable, drenched women, many of whom were carrying small children.

 "Yesterday afternoon" he continued, 1.-two sporty looking men were sitting in front of that notion counter over there waiting for their wives to get through shopping. The top of our stools, if you will notice, revolve on q pivot and have row of brass tacks around the edge.
 Well, sir one of the sporty men took out pencil while he was waiting and marked a number opposite each tack on the stool next to where he sat. Here's pretty good wheel, he said to the other. How would you like to make a little play against it?' The other man fished out wad of bills, quick as 2 wink, and they went to playing right before the women and everybody. was so shocked and surprisd l didn't Know what to do.
 ''The man that started the thing would give the stool twirl and then they would watch and see what number came opposite a tackhead in the coun- ter. If the other fellow called il right he paid twelve for one. and in less than five minutes half the clerks in this end of the store were edging up to watch the game
 T must admit it was pretty exciting. and l was just wondering how could break it up without giving offense. when along came big fat woman and planked herself down on top of the stool. The sporty men tried to get her to move. but she wouldn't do it. and while they were hunting for a vacant stool that revolved easy, so as to make another layout, their wives got through and carried them away.
 Its just as I tell you-if q man wants to gamble he's bound to find some way to do it.

Go. which were placed in daily service between Chicago and St. Louis, November Is, 1899 The equipment consists of standard Chicago Alton passenger locomotive; United States postal car, sixty-six feet in length; combination passenger and baggage ear, combination parlor chair okr and coach, Chi cage & Alton parlor chair car; cafe and buf let smoking car and Pullman parlor obserYa. tion car, each of which is seventy-two feet six inches in length The framing of all these cans is Pullman standard with Empire decks, wide vestibules, standard steel plat forms and anti-telescoping device. All of the cars are lighted with electric lights ex. cept the mail car and combination passenger coach and baggage car, which are lighted with Pintseh gas. The windows throughout the entire train are of uniform width, the Gothic lights above being of the new Pull. man standard. The ornamentaton is of spe- clal design, the color scheme being maroon. Great care has been used in the selection of plushes and woods for the interior. and the lamps, metal furnishings etc., are of special design. lt IS claimed that there has never been built in America a train which has re- ceived as much attention as to constructive details as has The Alton Limited An ex. animation of this superb train certainly bears out this claim

 Morning dawned dear. Aunt Sarah and her willing litde helper were up betimes preparing heakfast for their numerous visitors, aad a right com fortable one it was. Many of the way farers set out early 10 return to the doomed town or to seekfriends or rela- tives in the country.
