The STRANGERS
THANK SEWING
BY ELlzABErH FERGUSON SEAT

Mrs. Harmon went about her Thanks
giving preparations with q heavy heart:
for the first time within her recollection
the relatives, each and severally, had
sent regrets By reason Of illness, COM
pany, sudden journeys, not one Of the
large connection could be present. With
Z sigh she had TURNED to those two peren-
NAL guests, the minister and the school
teacher: but they, too, had other plans.
! It was a dreadful disappointment; the
Thanksgiving dinner and the houseful
Of guests were the very browning cpl
sode Of her yearly labors. Her husband
and three sons felt her distress. but
rather in reflected way, for no matter
whether guests came or went, they
would be present, and their interest In
the success Of the great dinner was a.
vital as It had ever been. They had
helped to feed the two pampered tur-
keys and gather in the stores " fruits
and vegetables, and they looked forward
to the realization of their anticipations
with lively interest. The day dawned
clear and cold, and Mrs. Harmon began
her final preparations for the event. the
lack of guests, or even the anticipation
Of any, disturbed her so greatly that she
appealed to her sons. Dick and John
and Benjamin watched her spread the
icing upon fruit cake alphabetically.
"Tell you, mother, what'll we do" de-
clared Dick, mischieviously, well 90
down to- where our line joins the big
road, and we'll just invite whoever
passes. along, providing we like his
looks"
His mother looked doubtful. "Well,
not too many, you know, Dick; and do it
in the right way. I don't suppose that
anybody'll come, or even pass by, for
that matter. That big road is pretty
lonesome one, especially so late in the
season."
The boys departed upon their novel
mission in high glee, but presently Dick

while the whole Harmon family were
staring with all their might, tho
younger man rushed forward and cried:
'Father, won't you forgive met"
Mrs. Harmon sat down upon the door
step and cried, the boys shrank back to
the very corner of the porch. the other
father leaned against pillar and waited.
for this proud father was taking long
time to open his heart. But at last he
did it.; he sighed, and host Of the hard.
fine wrinkles vanished from his face as
he said: my SOM" and held out his arms.
The Harmons crowded forward: even
the driver pressed nearer. The very air
grew fragrant with Thanksgiving. Then
forgetful of the great dinner, everybody
waited while the old gentleman ex-
planned. It was the old story. His son
and he had quarreled;: and the young
man had gone west to make his fortune.
That was two years ago. and there was
a white-haired old lady far away in New
York who cried every day for q boy that
never came. but who was coming at last.
for after dinner they would drive over to
the station, and in couple Of days there
would be another Thanksgiving, and this
old lady would be at the feast.
Then Mr.. Harmon blew the horn, not
outstanding everybody was on the
spot, and Mrs. Harmon announced din
ner. It was the most thankful feast
that she had ever served, though. for the
first time in her career as housekeeper,
she had to share the credit for 1t, for
Dick insisted that q. least half the glory
was his.-Young People.

sent BENJAMIN back to inquire how long
they were to keep the invitation open.
Satisfied that all their offers Of good cheer
would be honored up to the blowing OF
the big dinner horn, they hurried down
the frosty lane in high spirits. The road
made sharp turn in front of the lane,
and that they might not be taken I'M
awares,, Dick posted John, who was too
shv to address any stranger, where he
might watch in one direction for ths
faintest tokens of the approach Of any,
one. and he and Benjamin located them
selves upon fallen log on the opposite
side of the road to keep an eye out In
the other direction. The sky was blue
and cloudless; the dead leaves fell In
showers at every gust Of wind; In the
woods. not far away, there was now and
then a clatter Of falling nuts.

minutes. but no one appeared. Benja-

some confusion, Dick told his story and
have his invitation, emitting to state the
presence of the other stranger. The
driver of the surrey, which was from q

away, looked displeased. and prepared
to drive on. but the old gentleman-said:

hand. He dropped it in astonishment
and hastily summoned his wife. The
boys scrambled out and the old gentle
man followed. AS he was about to in

Benjamin, appeared at the end Of the
porch. The two strangers stared at zach

BILE than the man Of the city," asked
An observant man, In the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. There is suspicion
that an answer in the Affirmative would
fit the case. Yet, it may not be 80.
An interesting experiment has recently
been made, according to a story that
comes out of New York, and the result
seems to have been a little disastrous.
According to the story this attempt to
prove that. the residents Of the country
districts are more gullible than those
Of the city has nearly resulted in jail
sentence for q college student employed
as street car conductor In Brooklyn.
He is said to be . member Of we'll
known family in Maine, and was q
student at Brown university in the class
Of '06.
Financial reverses sustained by the
family compelled him to seek work in
the city, and he became q conductor not
long ago. In July friend of the con-
ductor residing in Maine received .
letter Offering to sell him, at low rates,
counterfeit money made, in Mexico
The Maine man turned the letter over
to the secret service officials and tho
conductor soon after was arrested. He
was indicted and has been in Jail since
July. The prisoner explained that tho
letter was only joke and an expert
ment in sociology, finally giving the
district attorney his true name, which
he formerly had concealed. Investiga-
ton proved the story to be true, and
when the case came before Federal
Judge Holt the district attorney OK
planned. The Judge ordered the joker's
plea Of not guilty to be withdrawn,
entered one Of guilty and then suspend
cd sentence. He warned the student OF
sociology, however, to be more careful
in his future experiments. -
But this does not by any means SET
tie the important. question, and despite
the common belief in the gullibltty OF
the man from the country now and then
we run across a happening which shows
he has an element of shreWdness which
will often put the city man to hard
