Twenty years this day Jason, KIN

my! how she will be glad to see
YOU. Let me intro"
mo, no, my good sir, do not in
troduce me here: take me to my
sisters if they are still here
But, Jason, this is my"
Eyes, yes, [ appreciate it all,
but I beg you to be lenient with
me for a day or two
Same old Jason, quiet and re-
served. It did not take old Peter
Taller long to escort the captain
to his sisters home, but if he had
any notion of circulating the news
from house to house after he had
seen them reunited, he bargained
without his host, for the captain
held him by sheer force after he
had him inside. But this was not
to be so for all time and as the
hour was now drawing nigh unto
noon, and as his sister, Elvina, had
had an invitation to come and take
her Thanksgiving dinner with the
Vomers', there was nothing to do
but take dear old brother Jason
over, secretly, to be sure, for the
captain was too timid to see her SO
publicly So, without much con-
sideration, she kissed him time
and time again until he was willing
to go anywhere.
where are we to dine. dear
sister,
"Oh, just with friends of ours" -
But who?'
"Why-y-the-e you'll see."
This is the road to Vomers is
it not?"
No answer.
20 we'll, [ suppose it is destiny
that leads me here
Yes, he was now in front of the
Vomers' home and having regained
some of his selfcomposure. he took
his sister proudly by the arm.
Arm in arm those two walked with
light and youthful step up and in
the Vomers' home.
The sight that met the captains
eyes as he set his foot for the first
time in twenty years in that home,
sent his blood tingling with adj
miration. AS he gazed from one
object to another and recognized
each as the same he had seen so
often in his younger days, he
could scarce contain his love for
the woman who preserved that
room intact, despite his VOWS so
sacredly made in that selfsame
room just twenty years previous
and basely broken by him. AS he
stood drinking in the memory Of
the pleasant nights spent in that
room, and saw again the love Of
his youth. he wondered if Jessie
would forgive him now.
While he stood with head bent
in silent meditation, tall, slender,
middle-aged woman came slowly
to his side and touching him light
ly on the arm and in voice scarce
audible, said: Jason, | forgive. ;"
Let us give way to our magma
ton as to what TRANSFERRED in that
oldroom and look in upon the guests
in the dining room. There we see
the table spread and feast, such as
would delight the ancient gods.
Above all the praise and thanks
giving, the voice of old Peter
| Taller is heard. Il knowed it, [
knowed Jason was comm !,
though all did say he was dead
these many years.
Eyes Peter, [ was a coming, but
I'm sure sir, there was at least one
more who looked forward to my
coming, and now that our good
old parson is here to finish work

THE CAPTAINS THANKSGIVING.

That again call me back to the old village green;
To the sun-haunted elms where the orioles sang
To the green walls where. fruited, the apple
boughs hung.
How ye call me. ye call me: once more let me

mid the green lane of youth near the old house
at home.
Why not-why should l not
go back to the old village home?
All! what dreams of the past. Yes,
it's past. Twenty years of the life
I've been leading will blot out any
mortaTs past. I simply long to go
back to the home Of my youth,
and, it just happens to fall on the
twentieth anniversary of my de-
parture.
That was true; Captain Richie
had not seen, in fact, had not heard
from the old home in twenty years,
and those who knew him as the
jolly captain of the transatlantic
steamer, St. Julien, never sus-
pected that it was ''love" that
drove him to the sea, nor would he
confess that "love' was now send
ing him back to the scenes of his
first conquest, where, on that fatal
Thanksgiving Day just twenty
years previous. seemingly, without
cause or provocation, he deserted
the truest heart that ever beat in
mortal breast. When it was def
initely known that Jason Richie
tilted Jessie Vomers on the day
that was to have made their hearts
one, my! how tongues did wag,
and heads nod, and gossip did
scandalize in that historic old
village Of Wollaston, Mass, on
that fatal Thanksgiving Day just
twenty years previous.
It was an ideal Thanksgiving
eve. The night was clear and
crisp, and as the train was
bearing the captain on toward the
home of his youth, he saw again
the busy friends and relatives as
they, on that fatal Thanksgiving
eve. were preparing for the feast
that was to be on the morrow.
But alas, fate had willed otherwise.
AS he jumped from the train at the
station and stepped in the coach
shat was to take him to his old
home some miles inland, none in
that gay company suspected that
the tall, bronzed individual was
none other than Jason Richie.
"Goingto Wollaston? asked old
Deacon Chambers.
Eyes, I'm going to Wollaston.
Nice night, night sir, such as
young lovers plan and old lovers
look back upon. Tn quite a
stranger in these parts, can you
direct me to the best hotel?'
why yes, the Colonial is our
best hotel and good landlord that
manages it.
The coach had made the trip
in good time and as the captain
was tired from his long ride, he
Immediately retired to his room in
the Colonial. But there was little
sleep for him that night. What,
with the memory of the past still
haunting him and the morrow,
Thanksgiving, he could only pom
der over the events that were held
IN store for him.
1t was nearly 9 A. M. when he
left his room the next day after
his arrival, and being a devout
Christian, he set out for the old
village church where, in his youth,
he had spent SO many Sabbaths.
His better Judgment told him to
occupy a back seat where, as he
thought, [ can be less conspicuous
than in front. Unfortunately for
our hero, he selected the most con-
spicuous seat in the house, for
there was the one place in all that

No. 4559:-International ar
bitration is an effort to substitute
arbitration for war in international

was founded for this end October,
1879, at Brussels.
No. 4953:-Ukase or Oukaz is a
term applied in Russia to all the
orders or edicts, Legislative or ad-
ministrative, emanating from the

The term is not extended to the

No. 5O9O:-A committee is a
portion generally consisting of not
less than three members selected
from a more numerous body, to
whom some special act to be per-
formed, or investigation to be
made, is committed.
No. 5O58:-Telepathy is word
coined about 1886 from the Greek
ITO express the supposed power Of
communication between one mind
and another by means unknown to
the ordinary sense-organs. Some
members of the Psychical Re-
search Society believe that they
have established the fact that such
a power does exist in the material
universe, and have ATTEMPTED to
turn the assumption to account in
the explanation of certain un-
explained natural phenomena.
No. 1901 In. Mercator's Pro-
lection the maps are so constructed
that the lines of longitude are
straight and not curved. This de-
vice of representing a globe in
perspective on a flat surface is due
to Edward Wright, an English
man; but the chart so arranged
by Wright was printed and pub
lished by Gerard Mercator, a
printer of maps in Flanders, who
died at the age of eighty-two, in
1894.
No. 5OS7:-Curacoa is well
known and esteemed liquor, usually
made in Holland with the dried
peel Of the Curacao orange, the
peel being macerated with water,

China, Japan, Great Britain, Ger
many, Russia and India contain
apparently 3O3,OOO,OO0,OO0 tons,
which is enough for seven hun
dred years at the present rate Of
consumption. If to the above be
added the coal fields in the United
States, Canada, and other countries,
the supply will be found ample
for one thousand years. Improved
machinery has greatly increased
the yield per miner, and thus pro-
duced a fall in price to the adj
vantage of all industries.
No. 5O19:-Secularism is the
name given to the principles adj
vocated (about l846) by George
Jacob Holyoake, a native of Birm-

Mr.. G. j. Holyoake was succeeded
in the leadership of English Sec
ularists by Mr.. Charles Bradlaugh,
who died in 1891.
