NOT THE THRoB OF LOVE.
Dear Ones Reminiscence Seemed Somehow to Lack Romance.

They sat on the sofa. They hao tust come to a mutual understanding, and he had measured her finger TOT the engagement ring, and they were in the first throes of tender reminls- cence
 You dc not remember" he said, ir a trembling voice, you do not re- member when you first saw me?'
 Yes, I do."
 Did any thrill or th-ob tell your heart this happy moment would come? No; that could not be ex- pected."
 Yes, something did seem to whis- per that we might become man and wife"
 My darling" And he kissed her fondiy.
 Yes; I remember I saw you from the window leaving the house, and 1 thought you were bandy-legged, and I thought how awful it would be to marry bandy-legged man. but it was only the glass in the window that was uneven and made you look so"

had been brewing that day and now il was approaching them like a giant in a rage. And as it passed along it came to the home of the miser and with 8 growl fell upon it. It gripped the house and shook it as a terrier does a rat, roaring down the chimney and whistling under the door until the shingles flew from the roof like feath CTS and the bones of the cringing Then it bounced upon the fowlhouse, and cuf1ing off the roof blew with all its breath within, and In second the night air was filled with flying fowls that Tapped and squawked as they went sailing into the distance like puff balls scattered by blast.
 Over in their little cabin Ike and Sally heard the uproar and fell upon their knees in prayer. Frightened though he was Ike did not forget his hunger.
 They say it is an i'll wind that don't blow anybody good, dear Lord" he began. And I prays that out of CulS uCcu hlSAty 6diC VIII Aoii O lO" grain from yu bounteous store." And scarcely was the prayer finished than there came a fearful gust and the crash of heavy body against the door. And the latch broke and the door flew wide and upon the floor there fell with thud a ten-pound gobbler, wind-blown and ruffled to be sure, but fat, tender and soul-satisfy. ing-the very bird, in fact, that the miser had fattened for his own sharp teeth.
 Sally arose and held the big bird high in her hands, Faith, charity and happiness illuminated her lean face until it shone as from light within. Didn't I tell yu' so, old man." she cried, exultingly. Didn't tell yu' I felt it a-comin' in the air? Bless the good Lord, for he shorely works in mysterious ways his wonders to per form"

 q haven't got anything to give" In terrupted the miser, hastily And don't believe in Christmas giving, any. way. It is merely an excuse for beg gary. wish you would go away
 Ike's head bobbed again. "Yes, sub, but am not begging. I'll do yu' tive days hard work to pay yu' for tur key"
 q don't need any help. I do my own work"
 "Yes, suh, I know that. But Ii you'll loan me a turkey for a couple of days I'll work for somebody else and pay yu' in cash"
 "No, I wouldn't trust you. And, be sides, if the Lord wanted you to have turkey he would send you one with out your begging for it. So go away. .'
 Ike took a step backward with quiet dignity. "All right, suh, reckons yu' is correct. Thank yu', suh," he said, and then went plodding homeward empty of hands and as hollow inside as an old bee tree, the wind nippine at his bare toes and bowling after him like 6 wolf, and as matter of fact the wolf of hunger was very close to him indeed. But Sally did not despair when she heard his story.
 That offerin' is shore a-comin' Ike" she asserted, as she put another stick on the fire to keen the water in readiness. T don't know jest how we-alls is a-goin' to get it, but I feels it a-comin' in the air. And jest yu. mark what I tell yu'."

the big, old-fashioned fireplace where his wife sat, as soon as he had come in from the storm-swept street. AS he held it up where the red gleam of the firelight was caught on it's rounded surface, look of surprise swept over the gentle old face near him.
 Why, John, you never bought that! Surely they handed you someone else's purchase"
 "No," he said, his face growing sud denly tender, q bought it.'
 His wife, with a woman's quick in- stinct, divined the reason. She stepped nearer to him and laying her hand on his arm, looked at him with pleading eyes, saying: But why. father?"
 It was the first time she had called him father for decade past, and there was pitiful break in the old mans voice as he replied q bought 1t for memory. mother"
 That was the first time in ten years he had called her mother, and at the sound of the name, she, too, gave way-gave way, womanlike, leaning her head on his arm, and sobbing out a grief that had silently stolen the roses from her cheeks and the light from her eyes as the years had gone by. The old mans arm went round her loyer-fashion, while his hand gent ly stroked her soft white hair There, there, mother, dear. The boys not dead. I'll find him for you. if have to hunt the world over. I was to blame" he said, with such infinite re- gret in his voice that the old wife reached up and drew his head down to her face and whispered: Don't take 1t so, father. I know you thought you. were doing the best for the boy when you sent him away to do or die on his own account, and somehow feel te- night, as I have never felt before, that he may be found"
 As she spoke, something in her tones made him feel that at last his wife had forgiven him entirely for the decision which, ten years before, had robbed her of her only child. Always before this he felt through all her gen. tie and kindly care for him, that tucked away somewhere in the silent recesses of her being there was just a little bitterness against him for the childless state he had brought upon her But now that he, himself, had come to repent 1t, he knew beyond a doubt that the last drop of that bitter ness had been swallowed up in grief grown sweet from being shared
 He sat down in his great arm chair and looked up with misty eyes at his wife. You're right, mother I did think it best would rather have seen him dead than worthless, and I knew if he had worth, he would con quer himself, and rise without my aid, more of man tfRn with it." She put her arm around Ms neck and patted his cheek. "He has risen somewhere, lsusa1z E .cj; !I,s anu end n6t be
