horror of all the thing sprang
toward them, and Elsie from I'M
der her drapery groaned, I'm
shot, I'm killed, I'm dead!" and
fell in a heap at her mothers
feet, moaning and sobbing.
Old Betty now wonderfully re-
covered from her fright, saw at
a glance she was not MORALLY
hurt, and springing forward,
gathered her up in her great
black hands and shook her vio-
lently, causing the bird shot to
rattle like pebbles upon the floor,
eXclaiming at the same time
Dead, you vixen! youse de
libest dead chile | cher did see.
Dead! pity you amt she added
contemptiously as she placed the
frightened child bpon her feet,
and stalked off to the kitchen,
there to restore her shattered
nerves as best she could.
Fortunately the gun had been
loaded with bird shot, and most
of them had buried themselves
in the thick wooden blanket Elsie
had wrapped about her. Some
few however, had penetrated in
to her breast and shoulders, and
caused her no little uneasiness
as she lay on the couch with pen
itent Bob's arms around her.
Grandma almost in Mysteries,
was carried to her room.
Elsie, after her wounds wounds
had been dressed, with tears in
her eyes begged, all to forgive
her, declaring she would never
again cause them so much troub-
lie. Bob too was profuse in his
apologies.
Elsie's father looked grave,
and taking both their hands in
his own said:- Yes my children
this must be a lesson to you both.
What appeared to you to be an
innocent prank, might have cost
Elsie her life. Grandma has
gone off to bed with her nerves
shattered. Bob's baby sister
barely escaped having a spasm,
and George is all broken up over
having shot his sister,

plainly expressed the disgust she

"Humph!" George answered
with a disdainful shrug of the
shoulders. ''You needn't over
look my grammatical errors for
that reason, because boys've got
more sense in a day than girls in

The girls at this moment pre-
tended to be deeply interested in
a cluster Of red berries that
CLEANED against the snowcover-
ed hedge like crimson drops.
Mrs. Kion vouchsafed no an

Their exclaimed cheerfully, as old
Jack drove through the arched
gateway and up the long winding
driveway towards the house.
May said it was gloomy here, y
Elsie cried. "It strikes me as be-
ing anything else. +"
The old house did look cheerful
enough sitting back in it's grove
of fine old cedars the bright fire
light cleaning through many
windows, the smoke ascending in
blue wreathes agsinst the lofty
snow-clad catskills in the back
ground.
AS they neared the house there
smiled upon them from the par
Tor window, a sweet, kindly old
face about which was halo OF
silvery hair that shimmered in
the wintry sunlight. A dear,
angel face that all have loved
grandmother's. Now at numer-
GUS other windows there appear
ed the saucy faces and curly
heads of many cousins come to
smile their welcome. The door
was thrown open and Uncle John
and Aunty Jane appeared In the
open doorway with open arms to
greet them, Almost before they
were aware they were gathered
about the great open fireplace
ablaze with cedar back-logs, and
with cousins and aunts ready to
relieve them of wraps and furs.
ooh! this is a great deal nicer
than being in town." Elsie ex-
claimed clapping her hands. ''Oh!
isn't it just delightful" May
cried enthusiastically.
Grandma had really done her
best. The blinds were up, the
mantels were heaped with cedar
and bright berries, and the easy
chairs, though stiff backed and
prim looking, were dragged from
their accustomed corners and
placed in the brightest and most
conspicuous places.
The aunts and uncles gathered
themselves around grandma, and

self, grandma insists that we
spend Thanksgiving Day with
her" and with a flourish she pass
ed to her sister a neatly folded
paper, slightly scented with he
liotrope, upon which, was written
in quaint, staid characters, the
following:
My Dear child;
l cannot spend Thanksgiving
Day with you, as | have been
wont to do. A severe attack of
rheumatism has rendered grand
ma a helpless old lady. l shall
expect John to bring you and the
children to spend that day with
me. Your sister Jane with her
husband and children will be here
and l promise, with old Bebby's
help, to try and have the old house
looking bright and cheerful.
Jack will meet you at the sta
ton with the sleigh.
l charge you to wrap my dar-
lings up we'll, for the drive from
the station will be a cold one if
the weather continues as it is.
Your devoted mother,
Jane Seymore.
Mays eyes danced with de-
light. "Oh! I'm so glad, Elsie,
isn't it just delightful? Why
grandma's is the place to spend
Thanksgiving Day any way. I've
told mama that ever Thanksgiv-
ing l can remember. But she al
ways said, :'well our house is
newer and more comfortable, and
it will do grandma good to leave
that gloomy old house for
awhile Gloomy" Elsie re-
pe.ted, Why, it isn't gloomy at
all, and besides a real Thanks
giving dinner should always be
eaten at grandma's. | told ma
ma that once myself, and she
didn't say to me it was because
the old house was not bright like
ours, she said and here Elsie's
face became dimpled with merri-
ment, "She said it was because
we always got into so much mis-
chief when she took us down to
the farm. | eXSect | shall get
into mischief too, since cousin
Bob is going to be there. You
know May, | never failed. I'm
going to try to be on my good
behavior for mama's sake, but
gracious! l just know it'll be
hard" and the saucy little miss
threw back her head and laughed
long and merrily.
Nov look here, Elsie" May
said slowly and with dignity.
Its all right to have fun, but
you are so like a boy, please do
not be so "haram scaram. You
know how prim Rose Fairfield is,
just try not to mortify mama to-
morrow"
well, | did promise you May,
Elsie answered, trying to look
solemn. Pm just going to be
good as | can be. I'll begin right
now and go down to help mama
get things ready for morning"
With this she scampered off down
the stairs, her sister following
more slowly, rather doubtful as
to how well Elsie would keep the
resolution she had made.
Thanksgiving Day dawned
clear and beautiful, a heavy snow
had fallen during the night and
Mother Earth was wrapped in a
mantle pure and immaculate as
the robe Of an angel. The air
was crisp, und the snow-birds
twittered on branch and twig,
The sleigh bells rang merrily and
all nature seemed smiling it's
thanks to the bountiful Giver of
all good things.
isn't it a pleasure to live in a
climate like ours?" May Kion ex-
claimed on their way to the sta
ton from grandma's.

remained silent. Bob was hel
favorite cousin, and she would
have willingly have sacrificed hel
fun rather than have differed with
him. Bob's approval was not es-
sential to Sans fun, however,,
and without more ado he hustled
off to the kitchen, and soon re-
turned with the coveted pepper
and an armload of corn, ready
for fun. Soon they were shout
ing with glee, and SO intent upon
what they were doing they failed
to see that Bob and Elsie had
quietly withdrawn to the lower
end of the hall, and were busily
engaged in what appeared to be
a most interesting conversation.
The morning passed away.
Dinner came with it's turky and
pumpkin pies, and other good
things too numerous to mention.
Such a dinner as one generally
eats in New England, on Thanks
giving Day.
! The evening was whiled away
games and song. When supper
time came lamps were lighted,
and they gathered around the
supper table, that shone with
silver and grandma's best china,
and groaned under it's weight of
good things.
Old Bebby was kept busy pass
ing and replenishing the dishes,
for these sturdy boys and girls
needed no appetizer other than
the crisp healthful air, that
breathed of cedar and pine
Strange to say Elsie was missing,
and no one had as yet noticed
her absence. Grave Bob glanced
stealthily around now and then,
and more than once peered into
a dark corner under the stair
way at the far end of the hall,
which had for the occasion been
converted into sort of dining
room.
Suddenly his eyes kindled, he
put down his knife and fork
nervously, and coughed in his
napkin to hide the smile that
played around his mouth. Pres
emily, Rose Fairfield, Bob's sis
ter, threw her hands up to her
face and screamed in terror, and
almost simultaneously a shrek
from her baby sister rent the
air, Harry Kion dropped the
drum stick upon which he had
been chewing vigorously and
howled aloud. my dears! what
is the matter?" Mrs. Kion cried
in alarm.
'"Oh! aunt Mary, just look to-
wards the corner where old man
Smith hanged HIMSELF" Rose
sobbed, her face still hidden.
At this juncture all eyes were
turned toward the dark, and as
some superstitious people declared

the hall in the direction of
which Bob had cast so many
anxious CLAN :es within the past
few minutes.
Sure enough they all saw plain
ly enough white figure, with
head thrown back, and arms ex-
tended as though in supplication.
A general panic now ensued
among the children. The old
people guessed it some prank
being played upon them, but
were so busy trying to pacify the
little children, they did not no

hands above her head, gasped,

how we had pinned our faith to this

. The Million Mark.

PORTLAND, Ore, August l2-The
million mark has been reached and
paesed in the record Of attendance at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
When the 27,420 admissions OF Aug. 2
were added to the aggregate since the
fair opened on June |, it was found
that in in sixty-three days, 1,Ol3,651
gate admissions had been recorded by
the turn.stiles. The admissions de.
psrtment was jubi'ant, and all the
rest Of the exposition officials and the
people OF Portland and the Pacific
Northwest in general joined in the
jubilation. Figures tell the truth,
and these figures show that the Lewis
and Clark Centennial is a success.
Before the fair opened there we're
those who said, "Well, II you have a
million attendance during the four
and half months OF your show, you
will be doing very WE'LL The man
agement, OF course, expected a total
considerably in advance of this, but
nobody was sanguine enough to count
upon million during the first two
months. With more than half the
exposition period still to run, it is now
the popular prophecy that at least
2.5U0,OO0 will be reached. The ex-
perience of all expositions has been
that the largest attendance is enjoyed
during the last two months. Portland
expects the cowds to increase from
week to week, and the figures thus far
prove that such an expectation is we'll
founded. The attendance by weeks,
up to August 2, has been as follows:-
June l to Z, inclusive, 99,275; June 8
to IA, inclusive, 100,7A ; June Is
to ~, inclusive, 9S,842; June % to

elusive, 1887; July 20 to 20, inclu-
sive, 131 1884; July u to August 2,
inclusive, I26. 1A.
The extra attendance for the week
from June 20 to July 8 was due to the
large number OF admissions on the
Fourth of July. Since then, as q
perusal Of the figures shows, the at
tendance has increased constantly.
