country have newspapers and books
been as important as now. People,
in spite of war work, are reading

books, on business, stories for fecrea-
ton and for inspiration.

True Thanksgiving.

Thursday, November %, 1918.
will undoubtedly be observed in
American homes with a spirit Of
true thanksgiving that most of
this generation are strangers to-.
Every year brings to some homes
the vacant chair that causes the
first anniversary of national holi-
days to be days Of sad memories
to the survivors, though rightly
enough, not extending far be-
yond the immediate family circle.
For the past year nearly every
home has been in direct touch
with the great world war which
has fortunately come to an end
as abruptly as it began IN Aug
ust, 1914. The death loss has
been Insignificant compared with
the number of men under arms,
and compared with what the loss
would have been had the. war
continued another year or more.
The casualty lists of the past few
months have sadly demonstrated
what another year of war would
have meant to the American peo-
pie; on that account Thanksgiv-
ing Day should be celebrated
with the same spirit that inaug-
urated the national holiday, not
forgetting to offer testimonials
of sympathy to those homes
which have paid for the cause Of
Others with their blood.

The proclamation follows:
ut has long been Our custom to
turn in the autumn of the year in
praise and thanksgiving to Almighty
God for his many blessings and mer-
cies to US as nation. This year we
have special and moving cause TO be
grateful and to rejoice. God has in
His good pleasure, given us peace.
It has not come as a mere cessation
of arms, mere relief from the strain
and tragedy Of war. 1t has come as q

Complete victory has brought US
not peace but the confident promise
of new day as well, in which justice
shall replace force and jealous in
trigue among the nations. Our gal

umph which is not marred or stained
by another purpose Of selfish aggres-

won immortal glory and have nobly
served their nation in serving man.

s'God has indeed been gracious. We
have cause for such rejoicing as re-

which our hearts take new courage
and look forward with new hope to
new and greater duties.
"While we render thanks for these
things let us not forget TO seek the
divine guidance in the performance
of those duties, and divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors Of act or
purpose, and pray that in all we do
we shall strengthen the ties of friend

we must assist to build the new
structure of peace and good will
among the nations.

to be fairly reasonable foundation
for supposing that it is from "coll"

THAT sounds like threat, Mr..
Bush. What do you meanf"
II mean just what I say. I will
admit that mine is, perhaps, selfish
passion. If you insist on making me
suffer, ] shall do as much for you.
There are two characteristics of mine
which may not have come to your at
tentlon: l never stop struggling for
what ! want. And never forgive or
forget an injury or an insult. If you
drive me to 1t, you will find yourself
drawing the finger Of gossip. Also,
you viii find yourself unable to secure
position In Granville. Also, you may
find yourself losing the-er-regard of
thls-ah-fortunate individual upon
whom you have bestowed your affec-
lions; but you'll never lose mine," he
burst out wildly. "When you get done

way, I'll be waiting for you. That's
how love. I've never failed in any
thing ever undertook, and | don't

"This isn't the fifteenth century,"
Hazel let her indignation flare, "and
I'm not at all afraid of any of the
things you mention. Even If | weren't
engaged, I'd never think of marrying

shrugged her shoulders, but she was
thinking of jack Barrow's broad Shout
ders, and the easy way he went up a
flight OF stairs, three steps at q time.
"Well, any young man."
With that thrust, Miss Hazel Weir
turned to the rack where hung her hat
and coat.
Bush caught her by the shoulders be-
fore she took second step.

said. $50 strike you as approaching

For answer he caught her up close
to him, and there was no sign of de-
cadent force In the grip of his arms.
He kissed her; and Hazel, In blind
rage, freed one arm. and struck at him

called upon to shoulder part of Nelly
Morrison's work, and a trifie dubious
at the prospect of facing the rapid-flre
dletation Mr.. Bush was said to infiict
upon his stenograDher now and then,
When she was seated, Bush took up
sheaf Of letters, and dictated replies.
Though rapid, his enunciation was per
fectly clear, and Hazel found herself
getting his words with greater ease
than she expected.
"That's all, Miss Weir" ne said
when he reached the last letter. Bring
those in for verltication and signature
as soon as you can get them done"
In the course of time she completed
the letters and took them back. Bush
glanced over each. and appended his
signature.

litely. "Thank you"
And Hazel went back to her ma.
chine, wondering why she had been
requested to do those letters when
Nelly Morrison had nothing better to
do than sit picking at her type faces
with toothpick.
She learned the significance Of it the
next morning, however, when the Of
fee boy told her t6at she was wanted
by Mr.. Bush. This time when she en-
tered Nelly Morrison's place was va
cant. Bush was going through bis
mail. He waved her to a chair.
"Just q minute" he said.
Presently he wheeled from the desk
and regarded her with disconcerting
frankness-as II he were appraising
her, point by point, so to speak.

Thus her new duties began. There
was an air Of quiet In the private Of

and necessarily more confidential, for
Mr.. Andrew Bush had his finger tips
on the pulsing heart Of big business.
The size of the check which Hazel
received In her weekly envelope was
increased far beyond her expectations.
Nelly Morrison had drawn twenty dol
lars a week. Miss Hazel Weir drew
twenty-five-a substantial increase
over what she had received In the ship
ping department. With that extra
money there were plenty Of little
things she could get for the home she
and jack Barrow had planned.
Things moved along In routine chan

Hazel became actively aware that q
subtle change was growing manifest In
the ordinary manner Of Mr.. Andrew

the idea at first. But she was Q wom-

The first symptom was flowers, dain-
