“Come home,” she sald, “and spend
Thanksgiving with us. You have
made excuses before, but don't do so
this time. Drop business for a few
days, and write that you will be here,
Let us have an old-fashioned Thanks
giving once more.”
How could 1 go? I would have to
start on the day before the holiday,
and, with us, at was always a busy
day. Then there were other reasons
why I should remain in New York
But the more I reflected. the more
plainly I pictured in my mind the
old home. Some one could take my
place for a day or two: the engage-
ments could be put over for a time.
I felt a longing for the scenes of my
childhood. 1 had stayed away too
long. 1 resolved to go home
The morning before Thanksgiving
Day found me a passenger on the lay
express for Boston. I had calculated
to arrive there about mid afternoon
and to reach Beverly, my destination,

As the train along I
tled back In my seat, and, forgetting
the cares of business, gave myself up
to pleasant anticipation. A fine. driv.
ing snowstorm had set in, and bid
fair to continue all day.
A tall man, wearing glasses. and
having a scholarly appearance, occu
pled the seat across the aisle from
me. My attention had been drawn
to him by his asking me for a match
Just before the train started. as he
made some remark upon the snow-
storm. After we had got under wWaY,
I noticed him two or three times re
garding me intently, as though anxi

head resting on the cushions. lazily

ly he rose and came over to where |
was sitting. Seating himself in the
vacant place beside me he asked:
“How far are you going?”
“Boston,” 1 replied.
“That's my destination also” he
said. “Do you stay there?”
“No,” 1 answered. “I go on to Bev-
erly.”
He then handed me a ecard. which
read: “Professor Hydrogen, Chemist
and Inventor.” This aroused m3 in
terest, and I gave the professor my
oard. We talked for a while about
chemistry, on which he seemed well
posted.
“Are you interested in explosive?”
he finally asked, In a confidential
manner.
I replied that I had read a good
deal on the subject as it was a sci
ence which Interested me very much
“Can you spare time, when we got
to Boston, to come with me to my
aboratory? 1 will show vou some
thing which I am sure you will re
gard as the wonder of the century.
You will have time enongh to get
your train. 1 will not keep you long.”
I readily agreed to accompany him,
a8 I would have an hour to spare, and
this was a chance of seeing some
marvel recently discovered
Upon our arrival at Boston we
made our way through the crowded
station to the street. The professor
hailed a South End trolley car: his
place, he sald, was on Dover street,
As we rode, he infofmed me that he
had discovered a new explosive
which would in a short time be used
throughout the world.
“Dynamite and gunpowder,” he
sald, “will no longer be in nse when
my new product is given a chance to
show what it can do”
Upon reaching his home he showed
me upstairs to a small room, which
appeared to be in the centre of the
building, as there were no windows
opening from it, light being furnished
by means of a single gas fet, which
was opt burning at all times,
