"Mary Anne, the whole affair te ndinis tne of Poc'h 'Raven.' I nm sine I have 'pniideted till I'm weak nnd weary.' Do jou suppose If 1 presented Paul with n copy of Poo's poem anil put a bust of Pallas on tho mantel nnd stuck a stulfed crow on top of It do Mm suppose that Paul would take the bint:" "Kittle Btattleboro, ou aie too ab surd." "I've got to be absurd or scream, Mary Anne. You can take jour choice." The second Mrs. Brattle ben o wiped her eyes and gradually became calm. "Mary Anne, there's mote to come. I hn-en't told you of -Paul's mjsteriotiM visit to Boston and his queer conduct about the valise. It Is the sttangest development of all. A'estetday mottl ing Paul tecelved a telegram. He Old not let me see It He did not tell me what It was about llo mete-Iy saiel he must intcli the next train for Boston, and that liewoitld come- back this morn ing eat ly Ik fote ,ou ai lived. At nine o'clock this morning ho drove up lit a cab, got out and turned to got his valise. It was not in the c-nb. Mury Anne, If 1 live n tboimnd mmi.s I can never forget Paul Brattlcboio's be havior wbtn he dlseovered that the valise was missing. I wns standing at the window and saw it all Tor half u minute be- stood like a man finacii. Then, giving a hoars cxclnmntlou, ho jumped on tho bo and, snatching the teins ft oni the cabman, he dtovo buck to tho station like n madman." "Did be- find It?' "yes, he came back In a few minutes with the valise, but looking very pale." "Did he say wheto he had found it, or anything about his flight? Most men would." "Not a wind He put the valls'e care, fully away, kissed me-, changed his clothes, und huiried down to the sta tion to meet you." "Pei haps there was a latco sum ot money In the valise." "I've thought of that, but It can't be explained that way. Paul Is never mys terious tegardlng money. He tells me all about his business. Xo, Man Anne, it isn't that, but It may be some docu ment or other relating to the first Mi. Biattleboio. I know it. Mnry Anne, I fed It. Pel hups Leonoi.i has leeoveied her mind and Is coining back to Amei lea," and the second .Alts Biattleboio wrung her hands In tenor. Mary Anne looked at her and began to wish herself back In Concotd. A flno pi aspect, Indeed, tor n joyous Thanksgiving' Pile must be firmer with Kittle. "Kittle Biattleboio, don't be a fool' 1 tell Miu, Leonotn Is dead nnd In her gtave."

Kittle raised herself to a sitting posi tion and messed her band to her side. "Lock the door and I'll tell you," Tho old mnld turned tho key and came- back with shaking knees. "Look, Mary Anno!" tutd Kittle, still sitting on the floor. Miny Antic ugaln felt her skin turn ing to goosotlesh, but she followed her cousin's gesture. "I I sen nothing but a broken co logne bottle," said the tiembllng wo miin. Klttle's mind was gone, she was quite suie. "I'm not mad, Maiv Anne, but you nie nearsighted," said Kittle, leading the old maid's face. "Between the' bioken bottle nnd tho valise don't you sec- tmmothlinr?" "A'es, nnother queer-looking bottle." "Well, that that bottle," said tho second Mrs. Btattleboro, Using to her fe ( t and pointing tragically to the ob ject In question, "that queet -looking bottle Is tho uin that holds Leonota Biatteboio'B ashes. She was not bur led. She was cremated'" 'Cremated'" echoed Maty Anne In vnluntailly In her astonishment. Then she recowied bet self and took Paul's pait. "Well, e i emotion Is no crime. Leonota wifi I'aul Biattleboto's wife, and when she died he had a light to eiemate her If he wanted to" "I don't dispute the light" "Well, that that bottle," said the second Mis. Btattleboro, leturnlng tho in n to tho valise at aims length and with nveited face "I am sure I like Leonora better etemated than crazy. It N better for her, better for me, and Paul prefers her that way or he wouldn't have have bottled her." "But, Kittle." said Mary Anne going back, "why wns Paul telegraphed for?" "The despatch announced tho arrival of the steamer that hi ought the urn." "Why was It not brought before?" "That's the-only thing I haven't found out. Pei haps Paul wished a united family on Thanksgiving. It may bo that he Is going to hold u kind of sec ond f unci al tomorrow In the piesenoo of his relatives. But theie's one thing ho shall not do, or if bo docs it shall leave him, for it's tho last sttaw." "What is it?" "It Is this. I'll put up with Leonoia's photograph, but Paul Brattleboro slnll not keep his first wife's nshes in this loom." ".Stun" and nonsense! Paul has no thought of mtch a tiling. ' "Hasn't he'" And Kittle led Mary Ann to a c ornei and pointed to the ivall where Just below Leonoia's photograph hung a little ebony box beautifully carved and inlaid. "There! that enme Mstouluy. Look at it. Just in keep ing In the matter of height and every thing. Wns anv thing ever more appropriate-? Maiy Anne, it was meant for Leonora!" Ciicumstantlal evidence- was so sttong that Maty Anne said nothing. "Now, Miny Anne," lesutued the sec ond Mis Brattleboto solemnly, "I don't know if It Is Paul's Idea to put the uin theie without my knowledge, probabh not; thouglimysubmlsiveun Inqulsltlve behavior In the past might lead him to think it quite feasible; or If he intends that I shall assist in plac ing Leonma In this niche. I rtiall tako the Initiative and do as you advise have it out with him. Somehow, since I have found out the truth I have lost my fear of Paul Btattleboro, and Leonora shall go to the family vault where she belongs this vety night or 1 shall get a divot ce." you can't get a dhmce, Kittle. Theie Is no legal cause for one." "Then then 1 shull go sttulght back to mamma'" And the second Mrs. Biattleboio took the valise back to the place wheie her husband had left it, and letuinc-il the bunch of keys to his liavdlng milt, while Maiy Anno re moved the bioken cologne bottle which Kittle had upset In her tall, and smoothed out the ciuiupled rug. The old maid wns not ue-cuptomea to scones and wished to remove all tiaccs of thu iccent excitement The tragic plane on which she hod been moving for the Inst ten minutes almost made her giddy, and her sttalnesl neives craved some com monplace occurrence to telleve their tension.

The ruler of a nation creates "Thanksgiving Day" by proclamation. It is a day when the firesides burn brighter, the family circles drawn closer and a country born of pride and spirit bows in humble thought before its valiant deeds and historic triumphs. But national thanks do not monopolize the day's tradi tions. The fulfilment of trade prophecies, promises and re sponses call for thanksgiving as well. Almost a year now since the doors unlocked on this big store. The public looked on amazingly. There were many to applaud few to criticise. In a short year the store's worth has become known. Every day brings to it new and cherished friends. Modern storekeeping, honest merchandise at honest prices have merited and won favor. We are grateful for our own triumphs as we are the na tion's. It is simply the story of "merit to whom merit is due" for which the public has our thanks. JONAS ten minutes Paul felt like a man who has licen striking wet matches, nnd pavo up. If Kittle and Maiy Anne hail been bavins a tiff it was best, ho thought, to be silent. Tea over, Mary Anne Plunkett went to her loom. She said she was tired, which was quite tttte, but not In a phy sical sense, for she did not disrobe. She doubted If she should go to bed all night. What would be the use when she wns sure she should not close her eyes till morning. In a few moment" Paul nnd Kittle ascended the stalrt In silence to their room, nnd when they had closed the door Mary Anne put on her w rapper, donned her slippers and settled herself In a locklnK chair pre paratory to her vigil. After she had sat gazing" into tho lire for a longtime sho gave u sudden start. She had not said her prayers, and she ought to pray whether she went to bed or not. She got out her Bible and read a chapter, and then knelt. But when she canto to "Now I lay me," fhe paused nbruptly. It would be a mockery to say that prayer when sho was not going to sleep, nor even to He down. Yet It would be equally a sin to cut her ptavem shoit, especially at a time when theie was so much trouble in tho bouse; so, after a few moments' reflec tion, she took her piayer-book and lead tho litany, ending up with tho collect for peace, and felt better. The- house was horribly btlll, und it seemed to Mary Anne not the silence of lost but tho hush of watchfulness. She could actually hear her heart beat, and when she glanced at the clock and saw it wns only ten she thouuht how foolish she- had been to bid Paul and Kittle good-nltht so soon, for Kittle had said she did not Intend to have It out witli Paul till bedtime. Maiy Anne wondered If It weio over. Sho opened her door softly mid peered clow n the ball nnd saw a thin line of light gleam ing from under Klttle's door. Then feel ing ns If she had done something vety wrong, she sat down again shlveilni? by the fire. Maiy Anno tiled to be Just in her judgment, vet her heart went out to Kittle and she could not help feeling provoked at I'aul. Sho way not sur ptlsed at bis conduct. Indeed It was Just what might have been expected of him, If It had entered any one's head to expect such a singular thing at all. Tes, she should take Klttle's patt and leave tho house w Ith her If Paul did not come to his senses, and arrive at them quickly, too. If ciomatiott was not a crime, as she had told Kittle It was. not, neither wat It n Christian custom, and Paul might well feel shy of Inttoduclng It Into any Christian community. As tor bringing Leonora's ashea Into the hoiiFe, and keeping them lu Klttle's bedroom, It was worse than burjlng one's teiatlves In tho cellar next to the potato bin "Mat' Anne!" She leaped from her choir. "Miny Anne, come here." It was Paul Brattleboto's voice, and with her heait in her mouth she ans wered tho summons In poison. Paul stood Just without Klttle's door. "Mnry Anne," said Paul neivously, "come in to Kittle, I'm aft aid she's she's losing her mind." "If she Is, It's all your fault, Paul Brattleboio " Kittle stood leaning on the mantel, ami shaking with a nervous chill. "Miny Anne, I waited and ho would not speak, and, now I have begun, he won't mulct stand me. He pretends to bellcvo I am III talks of bending for tho doc tor " "I'aul Biattleboio, you ought to be ushaiucd of joutfelf." Mary Anno was Indignant "Yes, ho ought, Muiv Anne, but ho Isn't. I'aul, you eun't Impose on Mary Anne. 1 may be n silly little Idiot, hut hho Is a woman of brains, and tdiu'H stand by me Won't you, Mmy Anne-'.'" "Yes, Kittle, 1 will," and Mary Anne faced Paul with blazing cheeks. The mun looked fiom one to the oth er, then walked quickly tow aid the door where Mary Anne liitereeoted him and dragged hltn back by the lapet, of his toat. "You shan't leave the loom till this mntter Is settled, Paul Brattleboro." The blood of the Plunketts wus up. It had fought nt Bunker Hill. "Why won't you understand, Paul, that concealment Is useless? Why don't you go get her?" ciled Kittle. "Get whom?" asked Paul Biattle boro wildly. 'Leonora!" Tho man sank In u thali. You might as well give up, for Mary Anno bus seen her as well us I. Go un pack her go bring tho uin, I buy." "Yes, Kittle, that'B tho only way to mako hlin confess. Paul Brattleboto, If you have an atom of manhood you'll bring Unit vullse," said Maiy Anne. "I don't know what you are talking bout, either of you," said Puul Brat THE GREAT STORE. LONG'S tleboro dcspetatelj. "But I'll do uny thlng under heaven to ntop all this nonsense." nnd the badgered man brought foiward the valise and felt tor his keys. The second Mrs. Brattleboio leaned on Mary Anno and sobbed hystoricullv. "If I were to die, Mary Anne, do ,ou think he would take me to n a cream ery and burn mo too, and go on making a collection of wives as if wo were pos tage btamps?" Paul wrenched open the valise und poured the contents on tho floor. "Now what Is that, (Paul Brattle boro?" "Yes, what is It, you misciablc man?" "Don't utter an untruth over jour dead wife." "No wonder ott never told poor Kit tle where I'ho was burled," exclaimed the second Jits. Brattleboro and Mury Anne Plunkett by turns, "My first wife, Leonota Saltonstall Brattleboro, died at Nice, and there she lies buried. I can show you tho title deed to her urave. Kittle, I am sure I told you till about It." "Then whoso ore the ashes in that urn?" demanded the two women In a breath. " Ashes!' 'Urn!' Great Scott! why this is a bottle of French tooth-powder I bought while I was In Boston." Then Paul Brattleboro placed the ob ject in question with his razor and i'trop In the little ebony box on the wall. At this astounding announcement Maiy Anno gave Klttlo an awful look, then tlnust her gasping cousin from her shoulder without waiting to see It Paul caught her, and left tho loom "Rut, Paul, what made you i usn back so frantically for tho valise?" ask ed Kittle, when quiet was restoteel and explanations weie in oidei. "I had left It on the car. The train sometimes btops twenty minutes. I wished to recover the valine before it left, or telegraph to tho next station." "And jou nie sine vou lovo me as well as vou did Leonora."? "Far better," "Then why do you speak of her so often?" "To please you. Kittle. You used to .say jou loved me because I was to faithful to Leonora's memoiy." "I know I did, but It's different now." The hecond Mrs. Btattleboro sighed upon her husband's phoulder In the full nes of content. Then she lalsed her head. "Paul, wo will never have a seeiet from each other again." "Never." "Then, perhaps I ought to tell you that I have made you some of the most dellcloiiH pumpkin pies that ever were. And now that you know every thing that I do, I'll call Mary Anne. Poor old thing! I know she feels badly at making such a fool of herself. Anil you, Paul, bilng a. pitcher of elder from tho cellar and kiss me before vou go, for tomorrow will be the thnnkfulest Thanksgiving of all my life." OLYPHANT.
