What did she care this night that her
father felt for her sorrow, or that he regret
ted his conduct toward the man she loved?
This would not call him back from the dead,
nor fill the aching in her sorrowful heart.
There was no man for her in all the world.
There had been. but one; there could not
be another.
The anniversary but served to intensity
her sorrow. She moved about helping her
mother, for there was yet much to be done
spirit was not in her household duties. The
bright glow Of the fire, the steady flare of
the lamp bore no rays to her. The house
within was. as dark as the night without.
If her parents observed her mood they did
not comment upon it.
Dolly thought the evening never would
end. How she detested pies and cakes and
every suggestion of feasting as we'll as of
merriment. She longed to be alone in her
room, where she might cry out her very
eyes for sorrow of losing her dear love. God
was not good, nobody was good, there was
no cause for gratitude, and how she did
wish she was dead. IF the latter, then she
would meet him. The only kind friend, the
only good friend in all the world was DEATH
The simple, hearty occasional words of
her parents grated harshly upon her ear

they might be thankful, but She
Then there was knock at the door, and
then tall, soldierly-l looking fellow had en-
tered and seized Dolly in his arms. And
then he told her how he had been wounded
sorely, but had not been killed, and how he
was to remain in the army, and
"But, Dolly" he exclaimed, why are you
crying? Surely you are not sorry have

"For the Joy Of your coming, DEAR" she
answered, as she buried her face on his
breast, land for the gladness of this Thanks
giving-and, and, Jabez, dear, just bit,
too, in sorrow beause l was SO rebellious
when thought had lost you forever"
The blessings that are mans may be found
by searching, and every heart may find much
for which to be grateful at the coming Of
Thanksgiving day.

Dolly Benson was an only child and, if the
truth must be told, a somewhat spoiled al
though very pretty one. She had had her

yet, although nearly two years had passed,
she could not understand why her parents
had refused to let her marry Jabez Jackson.
He, too, was an only son, and his mother
a widow. They, Jabez and she, had been

To be sure, his mother was poor, but Dol

was no reason in the world for refusing him.
She hated everybody, she declared, this

anybody could have the heart to be thank

It was just two years this very night that

Badger Team Will Be Strong.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 29.-!The indications
are that Wisconsin will have a much
| stronger team In the big game with Mtchi-'
gan next Saturday than has heretofore
been. supposed. The badger team held
an open practice yesterday, which was the
first real hard practice that has been held
In public since the team has been round
ing into championship form.
Six hundred students and toWnspeople
watched the practice and they went away
feeling more confident as to the outcome
of the game against Michigan than at any
really in splendid condition, and in the
| thirty, minutes of fierce, fast work
showed they have plenty of strength and
| endurance. All of the regular men but
Driver took part in the scrimmage,
and it is expected that Driver will
be able to go into the Michigan game for
| a while at least.
Though he has little to say for publica-
| tioh, Coach King is plainly pleased at the
fine condition of the team and really ex-
poets it to win. There is a feeling of in
creased confidence in every quarter, and
1t Is probable that there will be plenty of
| money put up on the badgers before the
big game starts.
The squad will have another stiff prac-
tice this afternoon and then the work will
ease up. The work to-day will be open
to spectators.
Manager Fitzpatrick returned from Chi
cago to-day and expressed the opinion
that fully 10000 spectators would witness
the game. A big and enthusiastic mass
meeting was held in the gym last night.
Short speeches were made by number of
professors, members of the football squad,
| coaches and others. Arrangements were
made for systematic roofing and for other
forceful manifestations of the Wisconsin
spirit. 49,

NO MORE CRIPPLES.
Gopher Players Have Fully Recov-

and O'Brien Out.
Alumni Will Assist DR.. Williams in
Preparing the Men for the
Big Games.

There is JOY in the camp OF the gophers.
xor all the cripples whose absence from
the lineup during the last two or three
weeks caused great anxiety among the
coaches, are again in the game. Last
night only one of the regulars was absent
from the scrimmage. knoWlton and
O'Brien were out and showed up well IN
the practice.
Minnesota alumni will get out during the
next two weeks and assist Dr.. Williams IN
the coaching. George Belden. Cole. All
Pillsbury. Van Camper and Harding are
expected to be out this week. They will
perfect the individual work Of the men,,
permitting DR.. Williams to devote most OF
his attention to developing speed and team
play.
The work this week will be only moder-
ately hard as Grinnell is not expected TO
cause much trouble. Next week, however,
the squad will be put through tough
course of sprouts In preparation for ILL
nois.
In spite Of their defeat by Chicago last
Saturday, the Illini are still considered a
tough proposition. A Minneapolis man
who witnessed the game on Marshall neld
last Saturday, said upon returning that
Illinois would give the gophers all tnev
cared to handle. Stahl and RothgeD are
two Of the best tackles in the west. and
are likely to cause Minnesota line lots
of trouble. Illinois has the speed and
fights hard all the time.
