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 y.
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
in preparation for the morrow. But her,
spirit was not in her household duties. The,
bright glow of the fire, the steady fare 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 well az 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.

giving eve, and no other day of all the year
brings such gladness to those born where
| thanksgiving day first had its being. Poor,
indeed, was the household that had not
| ready Its glorious pies of pumpkin, nor its
! plump, fat turkey in readiness for the COM
ing OF the morrow. Few We're the hearts
that had been unable to forget what of the
past was sorrowful that they might hail
and welcome this day of home-bringing and
! home joys.
Since they could first recollect, aye! since
the days of their fathers and fathers faith
ers, it had been so, that with pure and glad
hearts, grateful for benefits the day should
be heralded and kept throughout. To greet
it otherwise would be dishonoring of the
mothers who bore them and the sres from
whose loins they sprang.
| Yet in neat, white cottage, half-hiddsn
beneath one of these great bleak hills, was a
young woman who, in difference of parental
authority and the traditions of her people,
refused to enter into the spirit of the sea-
| son.
Dolly Benson was an only child and, if the
truth must be told, somewhat spoiled al
though very pretty one. She had had her
way since she could remember, and even
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
| widow. They, Jabez and she, had been
playmates in childhood and lovers since be-
fore they knew the meaning of the word.
To be sure, his mother was poor, but Dol
ly's father had enough and to spare. There
was no reason in the world for refusing him.
She hated everybody, she declared, this
night. The world was hateful and every
body in it. She could not understand why
anybody could have the heart to be thank
full for anything.
1t was just two years this very night that
Jabez had asked her to marry him. Two
years ago tomorrow her father had sent
him away without hope.
Then he had enlisted and gone away to the
Philippines. Stories reached her of his bra
very in battle and his rapid promotions for
| gallant conduct. Her heart beat fast with
| pride, even though she could not hope to be
his.
| But there followed long night of dark
ness and despair. He had been killed BY

Heaviest Losers.

New York, Nov. 17.-Astonishing
revelations of great loss of life and
property, caused by the eruption of
the Santa Maria volcano, are being
made daily, says a cablegram to the
Herald from Guatemala City under
date of November 8, transmitted by
way of San Salvador. Eruptions con-
tinue. Many hundreds of human be-
ings persisted and the destruction of
property is considered greater than
that in the island of Martinique by
the eruptions of Mont Pelee. All of
the estates in the neighborhood of
the volcano are buried under ashes,
which reach to the tops of houses.
Coffee Estates Ruined.
The richest coffee estates are
ruined. The principal losers are the
large coffee planters, mostly United
States citizens and Germans. Two or
three new craters have been formed
on the side of the volcano. There
were no eruptions from the summit.
Pumice and ashes were carried
chiefly in the southern and western
directions. The sea has coating of
volcanic material extending many
miles.
The loss of the coffee crop, which
is Guatemala's principal export, has
demoralized commerce and the gov
eminent finances generally.
National paper currency, which is
the only circulating medium, has fall
en- to seven cents gold for one paper
dollar.
Prices of Neccssaries High.
Prices of all necessaries have risen
to prohibitive figure for many per-
sons. The authorities are trying to
force the dealers to sell goods at the
usual prices, but the condition of af-
fairs is such that business is para
lyzed. Violently worded handbills
and posters are being circulated.
