west of the city. when one Of the
boys threw out a spade full Of sand

to 1t and a closer investigation was
made. To them all it appeared that
there was gold mixed with the sand.
Mr.. Yahne gathered up some Of the
sand and brought it to the city and
tried to find some n who could

the presence of gold.
The sand was later sent to Denver

she calls it,"
IT'S just like her colossal nerve to
come in on us like that" commented
Kirkibee.
We'll we've got to have a dinner
now" said his wife. THE mere fact
that we can't afford it has nothing to
do with the case"
Thanksgiving morning passed in
planning for the comfort Of the ex.
pected guest. Aunts with property
are rare in this %unfeeling world, and
it behooves expectant relatives to put
their best feet forward.
Eleven o'clock came and passed
and no Aunt Bella arrived. Then 4
telegram came announcing a change
OF plans. Aunt Bella had concluded
not to come to the city on Thanks
giving day and perhaps she would not
come until Christmas.
IF some one only would drop I'M"
said Mrs. Kirkibee. "Or even II we
know no one in the city there must
be somebody who would like a dinner
to-day"
YES" said her husband, "even a
skeleton at the feast would make a
hit with us Just now"
AS If in answer to their wish, there
was a timid knock at the back door.
Mrs. Kirkibee rushed to open it.
There stood a dilapidated looking
nan with the hangdog air and I'M
wholesome pallor of the jailbird. He
lifted a yellow and shaky hand to his
hat.
Come right in" exclaimed the de-
lighted housewife. Come right in.
Dinner is all ready"
She took the trembling caller by
the sleeve and led him into the house.
After the w%anderer had earnestly
protested that he could eat no more
Mrs. Kirkibee compelled him to dis
pose of a quarter Of mince pie. Then
as he arose s%taggeringly to his feet
Kirkibee presented him with a cigar
which q business acquaintance had
given to Kirkibee the day before.
The guest stood for a moment with
the cigar in one hand and his bat
tered hat in the other. He tried "
eral times to find his voice before he
spoke with twitching mouth and
weakly quavering chin.
"Missus and sir, this is tn best lay

boy back home. I'm much" He
swallowed hard. I'm much Obliged.
