slim white hands close to his lips and
kissed 1t. Thsre was no one to deny
him, for Bellsyue had not barred love
from the patisnfe yet, and Barker was
looking the othse way.

circling, wheeling. waving. until he
could not stop himself and was lost In

ing beside him, the girl nurse and an
older woman.
"He is WORSE" the girl was saying
'Dr. Ingraham said he might leave to-
morrow. / will be on again ut Z. You
had better not let them take him BE-

Nurse"
1t WAS barely above whisper, bur
she heard and came to the bedside.
"Will you send a telephone message
for meT'
ITO your friends:" The nurse was
used to such requests, and this partic
ular patient ha" seemed particularly
friendless.
YES" Derrick tried to think clearly,
to keep his grip on things before the
grayness should come again. Call up
8OOS Main. ask for the City room
for Yates. Tell him that Barker is laid
up in Bellevue with smashed head
and can't 60 to Pittsburg tomorrow.
Tell him-oh, hang it, il l could only
get on the wire for half mnute!"
You must not excite yourself" said
the nurse calmly. you could not pos
sibly travel to Pittsburg tomorrow.
You must be quiet and not worry"
Derrick stared at her. She thought
he was Barker. And her eyes were
dark blue, almost hazel, and she was
young.
Il will send the message tonight"
she said and walked away.
And Derrick smiled for the first tima
in many days and went to sleep with
out the gray void around him. She
would keep her word. Yates would at
tend to the rest. They would be able
to follow up the tip. He wondered
vaguely which Of the boys would be
sent to Pittsbufg to cover the barons'
end of the. story, and then he smiled
again, remembering the little nurse
with the close curved lips and dark
blue eyes who thought that he was
Barker.
The next day Yates came to see him,
Yates himself, clean shaven and cold
blooded, but with the glimmer Of up
probation in his eyes as he saw Barker
two beds away.
"It went In this morning." he told
Derrick. There has been a general
kickup over Barker's disappearance.
Some said he was dead. But they
thought he was simply laying low, to
turn up high and dry at the meeting.
Now they've sent Strogund since the
extra came OUT
Derrick grinned happily. He had had
an idea 1t would be that way. And
Barker was watching them, grimly,
understandingly, his face looking odd
ly incongruous In Its halo of white
bandages. Yates nodded to him.
BADLY knocked out, Barker" he
asked pleasantly.
But not done for yet" muttered
Barker.
When he rose to go Yates gripped
Derrick's hand.
1T was very decent, timely thing
to do, Derry" he said. 1.-THE old man
will appreciate It,"
That was all, but 1t left Derrick radi-
antly joyous. When the nurse came
around he couldn't help it. He had to
tell some one, and he told her while
she dressed his head. 1t was after u
then. At she went OF duty for the
night. When he had finished she was
smiling. too. and her eyes were bright.
II am glad for you. Yesterday l
thought that you were Barker, and

THANKSGIVING DAY.

I'm accorClnce with the wise GUS
toms Of our 2rctathers,' Thursday
Nov 20. has been proclaimed a day OF
thanksgiving and praise to the AZ
mighty because Of the blessings we
have received, and Of prayer that these
blessings may De- continued
Americans, as o nation, have cause
to observe the day with sincere graft
tudc. ~ President Roosevelt points
out. noyel before, as far as recorded IN
history has n people enjoyed more
abouniing material prosperity than is
ours. But this prosperity should not
arouse IN us the spirit OF reckless pride,
but rather q sense Of our responsible
ties. we should acknowledge the mercy
Of Providence. and form resolutions 10
become still more worthy of the trust
placed in us, as nation, as the guard
ian OF so much of the worlds wealth
and the wielder Of the enormous power
II gives. Prosperity alone may be-
come a national curse, ~ wealth some
times becomes a snare TO individuals
Unless moral worth Is coupled with
material prosperity, the latter Is no
foundation for either personal or
national greatness. Wealth can De-
come power for evil as well as Tor
good, and those who are entrusted
with II need grace abundant In or
der to fulhll the obligations II m
wolves
The Thanksgiving proclamation OF the
President recommends services IN the
churches, or worship in the homes as
a feature Of the day. Strange TO say
this wise custom Of our ancestors Ia
being less observed. the more abund-
antly the gifts of Providence are be-
ing poured out upon us. Many people
are working hard and unremttlngly
every day, and they do not care TO
spend part of the holiday In church
building They enjoy the rest IN the
famlly circle. But they can make the
holiday day OF thanksgiving, praise
and prayer In their homes, and many of
them, no doubt. do this. The sacrifice OF
thanksgiving Is being offered up on
many a family altar In the land. But
there Is another class. who love pleasure
more than God. and 1t is TO be feared
that this class Is becoming more nu-
merous as the years advance. This
type always miss the true meaning OF
holy days and indeed desecrate every
day in the week by their folly and self
indulgence.
II is necessary, therefore. TO hold up
to their view the true significance Of
such days as Thanksgiving day, as well
ak Sundays. Unless this nation, "ac-
cordng to the wise custom of our an
cestors" acknowledge the hand OF Prov
idence IN all things, 1t has no claims
on a continuation Of the blessings that
have been showered upon us, ever since
the landing OF the Pilgrims.
