BY LULU LINTON.

Il was the slack time at the post
office-the hour just before noon,
when the morning mail had all
been distributed. and the clerks
were chatting socially or reading the
morning papers.
The girl at the general delivery win
dow was startled by the sudden in
quiry: "Say, is they anything for the
Jenners?"
Looking through the window she saw
a boy, with big, brown eyes, just on a
level with the shelf outside.
She knew there was no such name
In the package of letters; but to humor
the little fellow, she looked carefully
through them, and answered kindly:
mot yet; perhaps it will come to-
morrow"
In the days that followed the boy
came twice day, and the question:
lis there anything for the Jenners ?"
came to be familiar sound in the
postoffice, and the clerks listened for
1t with much amusement, but the girl
at the window came to dread it.
She was haunted by the mournful
look that came into his eyes every
time she shook her head, and tried to
console him one day by saying: ''Your
letter will surely come soon; you have
been expecting it so long,"
Letter" he said scornfully. AZ never
said wanted a letter; 1 want a
bundle. and [ want it pretty soon, too.
I've been speeding it a long time, and
-and-Tm just tired of you shaking
your head, 1 ann The defiant little
voice ended with something like
Sob
The girl at the postoffice window
came through the door into the outer
office, and taking Bobbys hand asked
kindly: Had you written to someone
to send you something's"
Seeing the look of sympathy on her
face, he told her all about it. "Yo,,
see, it's this way: Mamma used to let
me write to Santa Claus and tell him
what wanted at Christmas time. and
L always got something-th was
when was little feller'' (straighten-
ing back his shoulders). "My teacher
has been telling about the man that
runs Thanksgiving, and she read let
ter he had in the papers telling the
people when to thanksgive and all that.
and L asked her was he real sure
enough man or if he was just a put-up
JOB like Santa Claus. She just laughed
and laughed, and then she showed me
his picture in the paper, and he was
Just a man 'thOut no whita hoard 1;l,o
Santa's, and she said they called him
Guv-nor. He looked so kind and good
out of his eyes, just thought maybe

haven't said that I would send the
things that he did ask for yet"
His own Kobby looked up into his
face and said gravely: 81 think you
won't be good like your picture looks
if you don't"
This speech settled the question, and
fourteen-year-old Winifred was APP
pointed chairman Of the purchasing
committee by the Governor, who gave
him, until he fed down the steps to
keep from being smothered by their
rapturous embraces.
At the end of the week the commit
tee agreed that they had never had so
good a time in their lives before.
The Governor came home with an
important air one night, and calling
the children around him, told them the
good news that Bobbys father was
going home for Thanksgiving.
Going home; where has he been?"
were the eager questions, and the Gov
ernor answered sadly: "Jenner made
mistake one time, and they sent him
away from home for long time, to
make him sorry for it,
sOh papa, has he been in prison ,"
asked Winifred in an awed tone.
The Governor nodded; then he told
them how very sorry Jenner had been
for the wrong he had done, and they
were letting him out before his SEN
tence was out, on account of his good
behavior. He had been to see Jenner
| and had shown Bobby's letter to him,
and Jenner had cried like baby over
| it.
When the children showed the Coy
ernor the huge bundle they had ready
to send he said it would never 90
through the mail. Their faces clouded,
| for they had talked SO much of Bobby's
surprise, when he asked for his mail.
and the girl at the window gave him
the bundle.
All at once quick-witted Winifred
thought Of plan to overcome the
difficulty.

THANKSGIVING AT GRANDMOTHER'S
AN ACROSTIC
Helen M. Richardson

He pointed to a tiny crack under the
shelf of the general delivery window.
Right here" he said. II couldn't
reach the holes where the big folks
put their letters"
The girl told him to run along home
and try to be patient, and maybe the
answer would come yet before Thanks
giving.
She fastened back to her window.
and pulling out the stamp drawer
reached in behind it and found a
crumpled paper. 1t was Bobby's let
ter to the Guv'nor.
1t dropped out of the envelope into
her lap, and she read the pitiful ap-

I'VE Will have Bobby's father como
here for the bundle when he starts
home; he can 90 to the postofflce and
wait for Bobby and carry the bundle
home, and won't Bobby's mamma be
Surprised"
This plan met the approval Of the
committee and it was settled.
In the meantime, Bobby trudged to
the office every day, morning and
evening, and asked: "Ain't they any
thing for Jenners YETI" His tone grew
discouraged, and the girl at the window
found it hard work to comfort him.
She felt bitter resentment toward
the Governor, who had paid no heed
to the little fellows appeal.
Thanksgiving morning came. Jen-
ner took the early train for home, and
when he reached the town he went
straight to the postoffice. Going TO
the general delivery window, he asked
the girl If she was the person who had
forwarded letter to the Governor.
She answered "Yes," in a surprised
tone; then he showed her the bundle
and told her that he was Bobby's
father.
The girl was delighted with the good
news, and asked Jenner to wait inside
the Office
Bobby was later than usual; he came
with tagging step and sad little
face. Jenner caught his breath hard
as he saw his baby, grown SO large.
Bobby did not ask the usual question,
but looking up into the girls kind face,
said: II guess it amt no use to ask;
it's too late now, and / guess they amt
ever going to be anything for the
Jenners"
The girl came out Of the office, fol-
lowed by Jenner with the bundle.
She showed Bobby the address in big
letters and said: "You see the Governor
sent you such big Thanksgiving, he
had to send man to carry it home
for you. Will you show him the way?''
She laughed through her tears at the
boys glad surprise.
Bobby reached up and took the big
mans hand confidingly; not knowing
who it was, he led the way home, and
there was glad Thanksgiving for 1.-THE
Jenners. Ladies' World.

wrote:
Dear Sir: This important letter has
been miSlaid in our Office, but I hope
it is not too late for you to answer it
before Thanksgiving
Yours very truly,
.'THE GIRL AT THE OFFICE WINDOW"
She folded this inside Bobby's letter,
fastened the corners of the brown en-
velope with mucilage, addressed it
properly, and taking a stamp from her
own stamp book put it on the corner.
She took out her purse and counted
her scanty savings; then she put a
dime in the stamp drawer and put a
special delivery stamp on the brown
envelope, too.
The Governors mail was brought to
him at breakfast time. In the package
was the queer brown envelope, and
the Governor opened it first out Of
curiosity. He read it through once
and smiled. He read it again and
whistled softly; then the children
called for an explanation, and he read
it aloud.
Dear Guv-nor: | am a boy, but
am not afrade of you, for you look

The destruction of Trinity Epls'
copal church in Portland Monday
afternoon by fire was sad catas'
trophe, but it did not do much
local damage after. all, and
it developed a boy hero which is
a great deal nowadays. The loss
is estimated at $4,000 and the
insurance was $4,000, so that
the church organization is only
put out for the time of its regular
place Of worship. The members
of the church now contemplate
the construction of a church
building on . much larger scale
and on a larger and more suitable
lot. This is one time that an i'll
wind possibly blew good to the
church, although the insurance
company suffered. Gus. Kramer,
a choir boy in the church, proved
himself quite a hero. Into the
smoke and flame he dashed and
saved a golden cross and other
valuables, which has made him
the hero of the church. When
he saw the building and its con-
tents going to destruction, he took
his handkerchief from his pocket
and saturated it with water and
placing it over his face dashed
into the furnace of fire and flame.
Fortunately he was not suffocated,
and by his daring the golden
