feeling of sadness which filled his own
and his sisters hearts in rather a unique
way on occasions. Once when he and
Laura were being reprimanded by their
mother he saw to his dismay that his
sister was ON the point Of bursting out In
laughter, and he feared the terrible con-
sequences; SO, covering his mouth with
his hand that their parent might not see
him communicating to her, he whispered
cautiously to Laura: Think about grand
fathers DEATH"
When eight years old he was sent from
home to attend semimilitary college
founded by the Oratorians In the village
OF Vendome. There he remained six years
without once leaving the place. AT Easter
and prize-givlng times his family visited
him, and on these visits. looked forward
to with SO much joy by the child, he was
met with reproaches from his parents be-
cause of his Indifference to his studies.
1t ls true that he was considered 1.-THE
idlest boy In the division and the ferule
and the dark cell were often his portion.
But later Balzac confessed to a sort OF
apathy which he could not overcome. In
deed, this same apathy caused him to
fall very i'll, suffering a state of coma
with feverish symptoms. This necessi-
tated his removal to his own home, and
to his joy he never returned to the col
lege at Vendome.

Bette. Bricktop waved his hand merrily,
saying: ooh, I'm neither sugar nor salt,
and won't melt. wetting cant'hurt tough
piece like me, nohow. So you both stay
right here till come back for you. Don't
put your heads out of the cave either"
So caying Bricktop drew his overcoat
close about him, dipped his hands deep
into his pockets and darted out and down
to the foot log, which he crossed careful
ly. He was obliged to jump at the oppo-
site end, for the driftwood and swollen
waters had borne that end Of the log Bome

Lettie and Bette felt their hearts beat
Ing with fear after their brother had de-
parted. They felt the loneliness-and
danger, too-of their situation. What IL
some wild beast should come. But they
mustn't let such things enter their minds.
After tong time had gone by-it seemed
hours to the waiting twins-Bettie put
her arm about her sister, saying: This
is Thanksgiving Day, a day of gratitude
to our dear Lord and Sayior Why
shouldn't we pray on this day for help
and safety as well as to offer thanks for
the blessings that we have enjoyed?"
Lettie, without replying, dropped on her
knees, Bette kneelng beside her. "Oh,
dear Lord" went up n little plalntive
voice, I'VE pray you to protect us In this
lonely, cold cave; protect also our dear
brother and bring him safe back to us.

cave, and the twins sDrang to their feet

With cries of joy the little girls threw
themselves into their papas arms, and In
another minute they were wrapped In
the carriage robes, Lettie being perched
OH papa's back and Bette on Brlektop's
back, to be carried across the stream to
the carriage in waiting some hundred
yards off. Their brother Lad reached tne
main road just ms his papa was return

On the 10th of May, 1900. the great
French novelist, Honore Balzac. was
born at Tours, France. His father was
man of some attachments and much orisi-
nality: eccentric, builder of -aircastles
and health fadst who lived to the age
of 49, Balzac's mother seems to have
been a nervous, excltable woman, stand
ing as dictator in the home and most Sc
we're with her children. She never quite
understood her talented son, who In turn
felt no real tenderness for his mother,
and there seems to have been much fric-
ton between them after Hcnore reached
mans estate. And yet the natural links OF
blood bound them together, and In later
life Madame Balzac came often to her
sons financial aid when he was bounded
by debt or wished to raise money to
further some of his Wild schemes Tor
gaining wealth. We must appreciate these
loans on the part of the mother when we
know that she was obliged to deny her
self the small comforts OF life to meet
her sons demands, at times SO unreason-
able.
As child Balzac concentrated bis af-
fections on his sister, Laura, whom be
loved almost to alteration, and who re-
turned his love with true, sisterly de-
votion and helpfulness most beautiful In
character. So deep was Honore's affection
to some trivial offense which had been
committed by her, and without murmur
suffer punishment for 1t. Once when the
sister overheard her mothers stern ques-
tom "Who did that?' in consequence Of
a bit of her own naughty conduct, she
was about to plead guilty to being the
culprit when Honore stepped forward
and claimed the blame, suffering thereby
the penalty.
A little later when I,aura remonst RI ted
with him for having done SO, he turned
1t off lightly by saying: AFTER this
don't think Of acknowledging, for l like
to be punished, and you don't"
Summed up In that sentence was the

Totty's Thanksgiving. By Maud Walker

Totty's mamma had written regularly to
her unrelenting father, only to have her
letters returned unopened. AT the time
Of Totty's birth she had written of her
darling baby, promising to send its pic
ture IL he would open his heart to his
grandchild and welcome her. To this
there never came an answer. but as the
letter was not returned Totty's mamma
and papa knew that the stern old man
had read 1t.
After her husbands death, however, the
poor woman's pride would not allow her
to write to her father, fearing he would
think she wanted to appeal to him for
help. 81 can work and rear my baby"

Totty sat by the window looking out

streets were thronged with people hurry
Ing to and fro on business which took
them out against their will, for suddenly
the temperature had fallen to zero and
sleety snow was driving furiously,
making the wea Their anything but pleas
ant to be out In.
As Totty contemplated the storm her
heart became heavy and tears filled her
big blue eyes. "Oh, how cold 1t is In
here" she murmured to herself, shiv-
ering as she spoke, and drawing an old
cape more closely about her shoulders.
"And mamma has to walk so far this
evening la this storm, too. for she's saw
