as kind hearted as he was enterprl-
sing, and upon the impulse Of the mo-
ment he pushed himself to the front
and with the politest of French bows,
said: Please excuse me, young lady,
I am very much panied to witness
your Distress and | should be glad to
assist you. If you will allow me
In modest tones she thanked him
for his kindness and conidingly Of
fered him the ten dollar bill that had
been returned to her by the chamber
maid.
Never mind the money until l
know what l can do for you"
He thereupon went below. The
sister, he thought, is not responsible
for the sins of her brother; besides,
the making of her acquaintance might
give him better opportunity for dis
covering the whereabouts of the man
he was seeking. In his imagination
he was sure that she was going to
meet him.
This was his opportunity, thought
he. He would ingratiate himself into
the good graces of this young woman
and if possible learn the whereabouts
of her brother.
The oiIy-tongued detective had no
great difficulty in securing the coveted
prize. Steamboat clerks are always
wise enough to reserve an extra ticket
or two for special purposes.
When Merito returned to the grand
salon and handed the young lady her
tickets she was profuse in her thanks
and expressed her deep obligation. AS
she held the tickets between her
teweled fingers she beamed smile
and displayed set of pearly white
teeth, encircled by pair of ruby lips,
and oh. such eyes! More sparkling

York and Fall River, Merito was close
at her heels. She stepped up into the
grand salon and after moving about
for few moments, beckoned to a
nut-brown chambermaid When the
servant came near the young lady
opened pearl inlaid portemonnaie,
and taking from 1t ten dollar bill, re-
quested her to procure stateroom
and passage ticket to the city Of
Boston.
A few minutes afterwards the cham
bermaid returned and Informed the
young lady that the staterooms on the
boat were all engaged.
The young lady seemed greatly dis
appointed and said it was a sorry
predicament for her to be placed in:
and if the deep drawn sigh she ut
tered was an index of her feelings at
that moment, she was not only greatly
disappointed, but at loss to know
what to do
Merito, who was near at hand, was

rendered Internationally. In impas-
stoned terms he declared his love and
offered her his heart and hand
The young woman, although SEEM
ingiy overcome, was altogether too
modest to accept. Somewhat taken
back by this premature declaration,
she was sufficiently self-poised to as
sure him that he was pleasing to her
and that she deeply appreciated his
attention. But she could not take any
decisive step in so important a mat
ter without first consulting her father.
She felt that it was her first duty to
save her brother. To accomplish this
she was ready to sacrifice life itself.
Merito, never at a loss for a sub
terfuge, proposed to interest himself
and secure a confinement of her
brothers offense through the assist
ance of the Italian consul at New
York. This ray of light was present
ed in fine Italian style and must have
sounded hopeful to the ears of Miss
Brownie. Her face now fairly beamed
with joy as she assured him she
would willingly give all she possessed
in the world to effect such a result,
She promised to marry him should he
succeed in saving her brother from
prosecution for his past offenses.
The day following this l received at
my New York Office letter marked
personal" which read as follows:
United States Hotel. Boston. Mass.
my Dear Chief:
Il write to inform you that I ar
rived here this morning in company
with the sister of Brownie. Through
cunning made her acquaintance and
learned everything. She is on the way
to meet her brother Thomas. She tells
me that he intends to remain outside

even than the diamond solitaires that
adorned her ears.
The detectives heart was throbbing
wildly. He could scarcely contain
himself. 1t was a case of love at first
sight. The hot blood of the Italian
was surging to his head. He was quite
bewildered.
Collecting his scattered senses he
was soon able to convince the young
woman that he was a man Of conse-
quence, and that while their meeting
was but casual, he was greatly de-
lighted because of the opportunity Of
fered to make her acquaintance.
1t was late in the evening when they
babe each other good night with a
promise to meet again on the arrival
of the steamer at Fall River in the
early morning.
Merito had not only discovered that
Miss Brownie was lovely and fas-
cinating, but that she was frank, con-
fiding and truthful. She had nothing

home and fed to Canada, where she
was expecting to meet him.
Learning this, the detective was
deeply interested, not only In the
brother, but in the sister as well. In
deed, she was the most attractive per-
son he had ever before met. To his
mind she was everything that woman
should be. Wealthy, educated and af-
fectionate, she was brave and roman
tic enough to venture out alone and
battle the cold world for the purpose
of redeeming her hayward brother.
So gentle and unassuming did she ap-
pear that he was sure she had a
heart overlooking with love.
AS these thoughts came meandering
through his brain he saw in his eager
ness the opportunity of his life. He
would somehow be instrumental in
saving the brother and thus win the
fair girls neutrality-suspicious. her love.
He felt sure that he could trust to her
generous heart to forgive him for de-
ceiving her by palming himself off as
the son of nobleman.
When the couple arrived in Boston
they went at once to the United States
hotel, where they took breakfast to-
gether. The detective now thought
Miss Brownie more fascinating than
ever and at the first opportunity he
threw discretion to the winds and be-
gan wooing in the most approved
Italian style. Pressing his suit with
an ardor more impetuous than con-
yentional, he begged her to become
his wife.
1t appears that her deep sorrow
her soft words, and above all, her
tears, had quite bewildered him. Real
beauty in distress was too much for
the warm-blooded Latin, and he sur

maiden who had courageously ven
tured from her fathers home with
the purpose of meeting a much loved
but hayward brother How, then,
could he help sympathizing with her?
Even though his representations in
regard to himself were falsely made
for the purpose of obtaining her con-
fdence, he believed he was sufficiently
shrewd to square himself with her at
the proper time.
AS deception is ofttimes a part of
the detectives stock in trade, he
thought there could be no great harm
in it after all was understood. It
seems that he told her the secret of
his being the son Of an Italian noble
man of great wealth and that he was
travelling incog to crafty his curiosity
While the story he told was wholly
false, he was quite good looking
enough and sufficiently genteel in ap-
pearance to bear out the statement.
From what occurred it was apparent
that the young woman herself was
somewhat impressed and quite uncer-
tain as to the true status of the de-
tective.
Her story as told to Merito appeared
straightforward and truthful. Her
mother was dead. Her father, al

A new style in doors has been in
troduced in our assembly room. 1t
is one of the swinging variety which
flies open with every breeze and re-
mains so. Such a door is very nice
in summer but must be trihe hard
on the coal bill in winter; still we
would dislike very much to have
this door removed as we would lose
the crack in the upper panel which
has been enlarged by skillfnl knives.
This enables the pupils inside the
room to discern when the teacher is
coming and get quiet before he en-
tiers. 1t also allows time for the
teacher to have quiet survey Of the
pupils behavior while he is absent.
Some one has suggested that bay
window be added in the door.
This will be considered and we may
raise appropriation for the project.

Thanksgiving Proclamation

Washington, Nov. 6.-The vig-
orous growth and progress of
the country, as reflected by the
records OF population and har-
vests add the general conditions
of International peace, are
things for which Thanksgiving
is especially due for the year
1910, according to the annual
Thanksgiving day proclamation
issued by President Taft today.
The proclamation follows:
"This year of 1910 is drawing
to a close. The records of
population and harvests which
are the index of progress show
vigorous national growth and
the health and prosperous well
being of our communities
throughout this land and in our
possessions beyond the seas.
These blessings have not decend-
ed upon usinrestricted measures,
but overflow and abound. They
are the blessings and bounty of
God.
"We continue to be at peace
with the rest of the world. In
all essential matters our rela-
tons with other peoples are
harmonious, with an ever-grow-
ing reality OF friendliness and
depth of recognition of mutual
dependence. 1t is especially to
be noted that during the last
year great progress has been
achieved in the cause of arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement
of international disputes.
"Now therefore, I, William
Howard Taft, president of the
United States of America, in ac-
cordance with the wise custom
of the civil magistrate since the
first settlements in this land and
with the rule established from
the foundation of this govern
ment, do appoint Thursday,
November "a, 1910, as a day of
national thanksgiving and prayer
en- joining the people upon that
day to meet in their churches
for the praise of Almighty God
and to return heartfelt thanks to
Him for all His goodness and
loving kindness.
SIN witness whereof. / have
hereunto set my hand caused
the seal of the United States to
be affixed.
Done at the city of Washing
ton, this the fifth day of Novem-
Der, in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and ten,
and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred
and thirty-ifth. Signed,
civilian Howard Taft"
