the bailiff had thrust into his hand

something when he gave it to him, but
he hadn't caught the words, and it
was with entire Indifference that he
opened the note and read the hastily
scrawled words. But at the sight of
them Indifference gave place to excite

hand. he turned sharply to the bailiff.
"Call George Brennan:' he said. and
there was triumph in his tones.
BRENNAN was the same cleancut
young detective who had told Of the
disappearance of Daniels. and the first
question asked him revealed what had
been in the note.
"Mr. Brennan. have just received
message which says that you have
found Mr.. Daniels. Will you tell the

with something that approached a
chuckle. And. not quite SO pleasantly,
he said he would see.
April Jones was a suspicious per-
son; and that night when Dan asked
him if he wouldn't come to the Con-
gregational service, he roared:
What are you fellows up to?
amt no heather, that you have to start
missionarying me !"
1t took little time to convince him
that there was no conspiracy of cordi-
ality against him. Suddenly the old
fellow got up. raised one finger at
arms length above his head, and said 4:
Il tell YOU what I'm going TO do: l
amt going TO any Of EN-. and I'm 60
ing to 'em all - And with this para
doXical pronOuncement he stomped off
to bed.
Next morning April Jones sent the
cashier TO ask the three clergymen TO
meet him at the bank.
TN much obliged To you all for your
Invitations" he said, while the Congre-
gationaliSt looked AT him mystified, and
the Methodist and Baptist looked at
each other, but | can't be in no three
places at once That shows you the
ruinous effect OF competition Now.
I'm going to suggest this Let's open
up the school auditorium and have one
big, bang-up Thanksgiving service and
invite the whole town -
That is how the famous town
Thanksgiving in Hometown came
about. Before they got through April
Jones was made chairman of the com
mittee of arrangements, and Dan Meek
er was called over from the grocery
and made secretary. 1t was agreed that
the Methodist minister was to open
the meeting, that the Baptist pastor
should offer prayer, and that the Con-
gregational brother should preach the
sermon, with the Methodist TO pro-
nounce the benedictiom
and Wen have three choirs get to-

So one idea suggested another. and
before Thursday arrived the whole
town had been invited, aud had agreed
to come.

wouldn't have it. But he would act as

turned over the collection.

in so that it almost forgot about the

the minister of the Methodist church
said to his wife,
There's April Jones. He has more

far as this worlds goods go. Wouldn't
it be a fine thing to get Ape out to

1t might not ultimately have some
effect on her husbands back salary
although it was worldly thought So
that very afternoon her husband called
at the bank and invited April Jones.
April Jones said he'd see-and he
was so decent about it that the min
lister told his wife that April Jones
was a misjudged man. The Baptist
pastor saw them through the bank
window and, as May taught in the Bap-
fist Sunday school and June sang in
the choir, he decided that it would be
no more than right to drop in and have
a talk with their father and mention

ly since he had had to go through life
with the nickname Ape" a natural
shortening of his longer name, but one
that was not so very complimentary.
"a darned good name, April or
Ape, ;" said Harry Dee time and again.
If it's Ape he's as sociable as a
gorilla. And, If it's April he's as
pleasant as the breaking up of a hard
winter"
Yet April had acquired funds, if he
hadn't made friends. And he had 9th

June. a. daughter, named for her birth
month, like her father. She was well
named, tOO-for she had roses in her
cheeks, and eyes that were twin
patches of blue sky. Nearly every
body preferred her to- her sister May.
Dan Meeker certainly did-or to any
one. April, May and June were the
whole Jones family.
