heart who had deserted him years be-
fore"
This simple little paragraph had
been copied and recopied, and dis
cussed ana made the theme for count
less stories and ballads.
But Jack, who uttered it, didn die.
He lived to return TO America, was
honorably discharged, and resolved TO
pass another Thanksgiving in the old
neighborhood where his young days
had been spent. So he returned, after
an absence of nearly ten years. and
was at the house of his father on this
evening, gazing sadly into the fire
which seemed to reflect his own ach-
ing heart.
What was life to him now?
That chief charm, that only light
to his soul, had gone out, leaving all
gloom and darkness.
He was like an old man.
His hair, once dark as the ravens
wing, showed traces of silver in it,
and his face. so handsome, clear and
fresh, now had the lines of care upon
ii.
Though he sometimes smiled and as
sumed an appearance of gayety, his
mother knew that his heart was sad.
But that mother had a hope that
happiness would yet dawn on her son.
She had piece of intelligence she
had NOT broken to him. Queenie Gra-
t,r, alton IN d, Leo,co of .c,. ..oo,,,,
had returned to visit an aunt
There was to be a great Thanksgiv-
ing party at lacks grandmother's. the
Oldest lady in the neighborhood, at
which she was to invite all the young
folks, tor Grandma Goodwin" took
great pleasure in young people.
Queenie would no doubt be there,
and she determined that Jack should
meet her. The mother knew that her
sons pride would keep him away If
he knew Queenie vas to be there, so
she kept that surprise a secret from
him.
She little knew how love had hum
bled Jacks pride.
In the vest pocket of the veteran, he
carried the self same ring which
Queenie had thrust back on him ten
years before. 1t was next his heart
when he stormed San Juan hill, and
he hoped if he was slain the bullet
would pass within the golden circle
of his youthful love, and that he might
die with her name on his lips.
But fate destined Jack to live. He
was once more home, among friends
who had crowded about to hear him
tell Of the wild charge and the storm
of death.
Would he go to grandmother's next
day to the Thanksgiving dinner. Yes,
he you'd.
The mother was happy.
The old carriage was loaded with
jolly young folks and middle-aged peo-
pie. and among them the veteran of
San Juan.
Grandma's table groaned with plen-
ty; goose and turkey, pies and can
dies, claer, nuts and apples in album
dance.
But what was far more precious TO
the ex-rough rider was a radiant face

He thought she had suffered as well
as he. They were too much surprised
at meeting that neither would tell
what emotions were being stirred in
