TITLE Harold Mersey sat down
 at his desk to dutifuliy per
 - form the task assigned to n>e c1.ss The teacher. Miss Gray, nao raid that each boy must write an m 4yitatfon to a party or to sa dinner o baIi or q reception. To most oI ne @ lads. the word party sounoeu ne e rre.m cake. lemonade. etc, etc, etc, That the invitation was to be oniy cIass exercise that would not material- ize into a genuine party was oe- rressinr thought; but they went to work brayely. The invitations were rent to friends as imaginary as the en- tertainment-
 With one exception. Harold Mersey. looking across the aisle at Jimmie plock- robust. red-haired and gener- ousiy freckled. thought of the many kinanesses of the good-natured Jimmie and carefully indited his neat httie note of invitation to Master James Block" bidding him to Thanksgivins narty at the residence of Mrs. Florence Mersey. The place of the festivity was Golden Rod Avenue The witching hour was 8 o'clock, Thanksgiving afternoon.
 Now of all the boys in the school Howard Mersey was the only one whom Dame Fortune had so placed in life, as to he able to give truly, really party. For little 12-year-old Howard, pare. delicate and gentle, was the only child of wealthy widow.
 Miss Gray gathered up the notes and placed them upon her desk for ruture inspection. Glancing over the pile. she found Harold's invitation to Jimmie. Reading it through she smiled and call- ed Jimmie to her, as the boys were leaving.
 "This Is for you. James" she said. sTake 1t home and show 1t to your sis- ter, Lucy. I am sure she will let you gu, Harold is kind little fellow"
 Jimmie grasped the note and hurried home Before he had reached the door he had read through the nicely writ ten invitation. As the meaning of it's wonderful contents came to him. his eyes grew wide with surprise.
 Just look here, Lucyf he cried. bursting into the room where his sister sat sewing. Just look at this! I'm to go to real party. It's up at Har- old's house, the grand house on Golden Rod Avenue. You can just read 1t for yourself. Miss Gray said she knew you would let me go."
 Lucy Block, not half believing. took the note and read the amazing tidings. Yes, there 1t was. an invitation to a Thanksgiving party at the residence of Mrs. Florence Mersey. Lucy drew her breath quickly. Jimmie to go to a party at Mrs. Mersey's! Why. she lived in one of the handsomest houses in the town and she was ever, ever so rich. She did not have to worry about any thing at all. For. you see. Lucy and Jimmie were quite poor. They were orphans and had nothing but their Iit- tie home and Lucy supported her broth CT and herself by sewing. She was

 T think shall die of shame. Oh. father! don't you understand what you've done? All the world will laugh at me. If they knew. there's not girl in the place but would point at me and mock at me. And what will MT. Jack think of me when he hears?"
 He won't hear--and I kept you out Of it in that sense. I asked for myself"
 But Sir John will tell him-and then he'll guess"
 NO. he won't. Sir John promised not to tell him. Sir John will keep his word"
 Chapter xI.
 Lizzie Crunden took to her bed, turned her face to the wall. and wish ed that the bed had been her grave. At least, she believed that she wished it. She whispered the words to herself: q wish was dead. I only wish I was dead" The wall was just before her eyes. in reach of her hand; and with her fingers she traced the outlines of bouquets and ribbons that repeated themselves again and again on the wallpaper, while she lay thinking, thinking. At night she stared with widely opened eyes through the heavy darkness of the room at the lesser darkness outside the muslin curtains Of the window. And by night and by day hot shame swept over her. in great waves, every time that she thought of MT. Jack. One thought especially made her like swimmer. struggling, drown ing in vast sea of shame.
 It was the second time that she had proposed to Mir. Jack. This was the thought that completely overwhelmed her. For years now she had flushed hot ly whenever she remembered that as, a child she asked Jack to marry her. That was thing even a child should not have done. And now that she was grown up. her father. acting as am bassador. had done it for her again, Mir Jack. if he heard of the second dip- lomatic proposal-and could one hone that he would not sooner or later hear or ft?-Would immediately recall the nrst most brazenly direct proporal.

beginning to realize that the period
when the most disastrous storms Of
the year may he expected is drawing
near. The Lake Superior autumps are
dreaded by all vessel owners as we'll
as the masters and seamen who are
in charge OF the ships.
The history of disasters in fall
storms 10 the past gives them good
reason to fear Sometimes the fal is
not overly tempestuous but, those
who know the lakes best generally
expect at least four or five bad storms
before the season Of navigation is
finally closed about the first of
December by the cold weather
Two years ago it viii be rene M
bered by marine men there was an
unusually. bad storm which ragged
over the lakes just about the first
of September. The Olive J ,nette,
Iosco and several other vessels were
lost. That storm was really the tirSt
Of the serious OF disastrous ones
which occurred on the lakes that
season.
The storms do not always come
just at the beginning Of autumn,
however. Sometimes the good
weather has been uninterrupted
until the middle or latter part of
September. But at some period
every fall these storms cause hav &C
to the Great Lakes shipping. They
come with little warning and gener-
ally last two, three or four days

smaller boats. run for shelter as
soon asa storm bsgins to dove ope, as
one cannot tell how long IL win last
or with how much fury it will rage.
