He understood instantly. and then he
asked:
But where Is Elsie?"
She rs In the house. and she Is crying
too"

The little girl looked ut him doubtful.
b: then she took the hand he stretcAes
toward her. sho led him 10 a path
through the bushes, and as they walked
along she told him that after giving them
breakfast her daddy had gone away to
get them Thanksgiving" and had not
come back. Presently they reached
little clearing Ia which stood a rough
board house. The spot was evidently
an oasis In the desert that had been clear

were several cows and couple OF hor.cs

henr Elsie crying. The little girl let 20
his hand and ran ahead. When he reach.
ed the door, be heard her telling Elsie
that "a real nice tramp was coming TO
take care OF them and get them some
thing 20 eat" Again his face famed
with bushes. but be entered and began
70 search for food In little box cup

bread. and he immediately took down the
dishes and prepared them something 10
ent While they ate he made friends

prairie chickens that had been dressed as

sat down 70 their Thanksgiving dinner
Stained:
Elsie hasn't said grace YETI
lhey all bowed their heads. and the
childish little voice babbled a prayer 10,
a blessing on the mercies set before them
From that moment Harry felt no dis
quietude about the home coming OF III,
father.
He helped the children literally 10 the
food while he kept them interested with
lively talk. and then when they were sat.
lshed he took them both on his knees and
told them stories until they fell asleep.
Ihen ne put them both TO bed and sat
down 10 wait for their father. He was so
taken up with the thought OF the chill
dren and with wondering what couid
have happened 20 their father that ne
had no thought OF his own troubles. Hour
AFTER hour passed. and he was beginning
10 doze away with wearinc.s when he
heard rapidly approaching footstep. A
moment later the door was flung open
and wildly disheveled and travel stain.
I'd man rushed I'm.
Where arc my babies7" nc cried.
There In tho bed" said Harry.
THANK Godv' the man exclaimed fer
vently MS he SINK into chair. He asked
no questions about Harry's presence. but
Harry Immediately explained.
MAY God bless you" the father e.-
claimed. 81 feel that you have saved
their lives and mine too" Then he told
now he had left to 20 down to the near.
est village to get some things for their
thanksgiving dinner. Instead Of taking
his team Ms he should have done he had
gone 10 the railway crossing half a mile
Instant TO take the morning express. BY
doing so he could have half an hour In
the village and then take the return OF.
press to the crossing. being Eo2s ,sss
than two hours. All trains stop at the
crossing. and he did not notice until aft
err ne Ind climbed aboard that the train
ne mad boarded was swift special, and
u ala not stop until IL reached n station
oo miles away. They passed the. train he
intended to take on his return at n wny
station, and as there was no train COMING
mat way before next morning he had
walked and run the whole 80 miles back
since morning. All the way he was tor.
tured by the thought that when his ba-
pies got lonely they would wander out 10
hunt for him and get lost. And he thank.
ed. Harry again with OVERLOOKING graft
tude.
While the starved man was eating
what remained OF the Thanksgiving din
ner he explained how he had moved out
TO that desolate place In the hope that
town would grow up around the crossing
and how his wife had died. Finally the
two tired men went to bed, and for the
nrst time In his life Harry felt his heart
hiled with spirit OF thankfulness. al
tnough on that very morning he had felt
all the misery OF bitterness against the
whole world. He had learned that hap
piness comes not from the kindness that
others do to us, but from the kindness
mat we do to others. For the first time
In his life he realized that II Is more
blessed TO give than TO receive, and that
was the first Thanksgiving day that he
ever celebrated in the true spirit.

DROPPED DEAD
WASHING HIS HANDS.
Edmund Oswald Died i'm the Cabin
of the Boat Upon Which He
Worked.

Down at Bivalve Sunday MORN
ing, oystermen began wondering,
about nine O'Clock, why Edward Os-
wald, cook upon one of Capt. Thomas
Collins boats, did not appear upon
deck. A little later they began an
investigation and peering into the
cabin saw him lying upon the floor of
the little apartment, dead.
The proper authorities were notified
and County Physician Diament went
down there. He viewed the body and
his examination indicated that death
had come from apoplexy.
The indications pointed to Oswald
getting up Sunday morning, pro-
curing basin of water and taking it
| IN the cabin to make his toilet. The
basin was upon the table, the soap
had been used, and in his death grasp
was the towel he had been using.
Death had been instant.
Oswald was about forty-six years of
age. He had been about Port Norris
for two years, having come from
Washington, D. G. He had always
claimed that his family lived in Cali
fornia. Since he has been in Port
Norris he has been cook upon oyster
vessels.
He drank considerably, recently be-
ing upon crazy drunk. He was ar
rested and sent to Jail, having been
liberated but about a week since.
The body was given in custody of
Undertaken Nickerson and will be
buried without inquest.
