THE FIRST THANKSGIVING DAY

Almost a year had passed since the

to America. About fifty of those who
had crossed the ocean in the May
flower were now living in their new
homes.
They had laid out village street,
and had built few houses in tho
place which they called Plymouth.
Their houses were made of logs. the

 Mary was visib1y chafing under this sudden restraint put upon her by rigid ceremonial. His Holiness's envoy could not. be kept waiting, though she, poor woman, was burning with desire to prolong the happy tete-a-tete with the man she loved.
 She felt Ills Em:nence's eyes watch ing hert every movement. She threw him defiant look. then peremptorily ordered the Majordom and theS pages to precede her.
 His Grace of Wessex, on the other hand, seemed obviously relieved. He had turned his head in tho direction whence came that girlish song, and appeared to be listening intentiy.
 "wiil you accompany us. my iord?' said the Queen in tone of obvious command. 'I must not keep the envoy of Ills Holiness waiting, and have need of your presence?'
 She placsd her hand on his arm. Respect and chivalry compelled him to obey, yet he seemed 10th to go.
 The Lady Ursula's song seems to fascinate His Grace of Wessex" whis- pered Don Miguel In His Eminence's ear.
 Hush 1.-the small opportunity. my lord marquis" whispered the Cardinal Tn reply.
 Have the honor of following your Majesty?" he added, respectfully bow ing to the Queen.
 May, on our left. your Eminence." rejoined Mary coldly.
 Her right hand was still on Wes- sex's arm, and slowly, as If reluctant- ly, she began to move in the direction of the Palace. Don Miguel, at an al- most imperceptible sign from his chief. had quickly disappeared down the ter race steps.
 "Ah my breviary!" suddenly exclaim- ed His Eminence in great perturbation. 1T forgot 1t on the terrace!--the Nun cio will desire a prayer. and am help less without my Latin text! If your Majesty will design to forgive
 He made a movement as if he would turn back.
 From the further end of the terrace the young singer continued her song.
 "Will your Eminence allow me?" said the Duke of Wessex with alacrity.
 with pleasure. my dear lord" re- sponded the Cardinal urbanely. "Ah. had your years and you mine. 'twere my pleasure to serve you And her. Majesty will excuse, :" he added pointedly, for His Grace was quite ready to withdraw, whilst Mary was equally prepared to stop him with a look. "Will your Majesty deign to place your hand on my arm? The en- voy of Ills Holiness the Pope awaits your Most Catholic Majesty"
 He was standing before her, outward ly respectful and full of deference. The pages and ladies had already disap- peared within the Palace, whilst the Duke of Wessex. taking the Queens silence for consent. had turned back towards the distant part of the ter race.
 
 Mary, with all her weaknesses where her affections were concerned, was too proud to let this Spaniard see that she felt baffied and not a little humiliaed. She guessed that this had been a ruse. trap into which she had fallen. How 1t had all been done she knew nos but she could easily guess why.
 She smothered the angry words which had risen to her lips, and without look ing either to the right or lSft of her she walked quickly towards the Pal ace.

| girf. for the first time since her arri- val at Court. felt genuinely mortified and not little despairing of ultimate triumph.
 The Duke. evidently. had no desire to meet her. or he would have accom- plished that end somehow. There was not much that His Grace wished that did not sooner or later come to pass.
 Obviously, for the moment, he was glad enough to remain free of those bonds which truly were none of his making. chivairy alone might tempt him to fuIfil Lord Truro's dying wishes, for the late Earl and the Dukes own father had been the closest of friends. Ursula's pride, however. would not allow her to appeal to that chiv- airy; what she wanted was to gain his love.
 Out of her childish admiration for the boy had grown a kind of poetic inter est in the man, more than fostered by the great popularity enjoyed by wes- sex, and the praises of his personality sung on every side. Ursula was still too young to be in love with aught else save with love Itself, with her own imaginative fancy, her own con- ception of what her future husband should be.
 He shouldNb good to look at---like Wessex! High-born and gracious--like ,Wessex! A king among men, witty and accomplish ed--like wessex!
 Holy Virgin! let me have him for mine own! was her constant, childish prayer.
 The girl was not yet woman!
 Thus musing and meditating, she strolled out into the garden singing as she went. All the maids of honor had been btdden to wait on Her Majesty In the Audience Chamber, save Lady Ursula Glynde and Miss Margaret Cob ham. whose services would not be re- quired. The Duchess of Lincoln. shrewdly guessing from this summons that His Grace of Wessex was In the Queens company, had given the two young ladies leave to wander whither they pleased.
 Lady Margaret had pleaded a head. ache and curled herself up in a win. dow-embrasure with the express in- tention of doing nothing at all; but Ursula. with burning desire for free dom and longing for flowers. birds. and sunshine, had wondered out into the open.
 parterre of marguerites was laid out close to tee terface. Mooning. dreaming, sintfng. she had picked a bunch of these and was mechanically plucking their snow white petals one by one.

Remarkable Invention by Hiram Percy Maxim, of Hartford, Just Made
 Known-Son of Sir
 Hiram Maxim.
WHAT NEW WEAPON MEANS
Man or Beast Will Fall Before it in His Tracks, and Only a Post Mortem Exam
 ination Would Re
 veal Cause.
Special to the Journal-couricr.)

Washington, D. C., Feb. 25.-To- days issue of the Patent Office Gazette contains the information that patent for silent firearm" has just been granted to Hiram Percy Maxim of Hartford, Conn, son of Sir Hiram Maxim, inventor of the machine gun that bears his name The patent cov- CTS 23 claims, the device being design ed to render the discharge of a gun or revolver practically noiseless. Broadly, the principle involved is similar to that made use of in the automobile muffier. the noise of discharge due to the sud- den release of gas at the muzzle of the gun being prevented through the &C., ton of a transverse acting piston valve renders the discharge gradual. Follow ing the inventions of the rapid-fire gun and smokeless powder it is suggested that another step has been taken tend- ing to lessen the likelihood of wars between nations, as the results attend ing the use of such weapons would be too destructive to contemplate.
 The device consists of a silencing arrangement that can be applied to the barrel of the ordinary firearm. With it bullet may be dispatched on dead- ly errand and make no sound to indi- cate whence it came Man or beast be- fore 1t would fall dead in his tracks, and no idea as to the cause would be apparent until a post mortem exam ination indicated the presence of the silent bullet
 In war the invention would prob ably have the greatest use. Skirmish- CTS could work along the line of an enemy and silence q picket without giving any indication of their presence to the latters friends. Sharpshooters would be able to pick off the enemy with no danger of being located, es- pecially when combined with the use of modern smokeless powder

LAW MEN DROPPED
Dean Rogers and Faculty Spring Bombshell Among
 Students.
OTHERS SOON TO WALK
Movement in Line With the Uplift- Ing of the Standard of the
 Institution.

As the result of meeting of the law school faculty held Monday night several students in the freshman and Junior classes were expelled yesterday, and many more were put on proba- ton. The reason was that the men were behind in their work and showed a marked tendency to loaf all the time
 The action came as a bombshell to the future justices of the supreme court, who did not think they would have to get out of the ruts The im- provement, however, is in line with others being gradually made by Dean Rogers and his assistants toward lift ing the standard of the school.
 Commencing with the fall of 1909, it will be remembered, advanced re- quirements will he asked of all those who enter the Yale Law school Be- cause of these advanced requirements the law school faculty does not wish to send out number of walking poor advertisements for the school.
 During the time that Dean Rogers has been here the standard of the law school has. been raised to mark ed degree, so that it is expected that in a few years it will be on a par with the Harvard Law school It is under stood that before the present cleaning out is finished about thirty men in all will walk.
