MISS THANKFUL r.v axx ii:mini ;kay. It ''niOil to lie one of the ironies of fate that her name kIiouM have U-en ! Thankful Hoiie. Straup-rs siuil tl Instinctively at the name when they iir-t met her, for to them there w as wo little in her narrow li'e to lie thankful for, and nothing to hojie for. Ami yet to those of the limited nuiiiher who grew to know Mi; Tliankful the luune w as after all, quite appropriate. She wasa failed lK)kiig little woniun of wIiom plain fav was only re tl.vinetl ly a pair of smiling brown eyes. She was a day etinstress and made tuoujrli to jmy her lm:trd and us ually to keep herself suitably elotheiL It was a standing joke among the other Uiarders that no matter how dis agreeable the day Miss Thankful multl always find something pleasant to lie said aliout it. And, no matter how uu-pn-porsessing the lust new Imanler, Mis Tliankful'! kind heart was sure to iiviver some exeiise. Slie had watched Fkuviitf, Mr. Sim mon's young daughter, grow up into womanhood and had shared her timid confidences and ophiiolis aliout the dif ferent young men of the huse, wnfi-dt-nees whieh Florence would never have theught of telling her practical mother. There was something alnit Miss Thankful which iuviied coiifi-di-iuv, and the two were warm friends. It was a dull February evening, a slisrht snow was falling, and Miss Thankful hurried along toward home in tlie early dusk. The windows wen1 lighted tip and presented a tempting array of millinery, dry goods, flowers and enrifcctionery. Hut Miss Thankful did not notice any of them until she turned into ISoud stnvt, and there she walked slowly, coming to a standstill at last in front of t'oojier & Owipcr's large dry goods limine. She sinileil as she looked in at the window. "Yes," she said softly, "it's there yet- I made sure it would U sold. So cheap too. Only l."l." Slu wa gazing at a blue satin party Utg, lii.ed u ilh delicate pink, one of those dainty Fre'si-h afl'airs which always catch a woman's eye if she has any soul for pleasing effects. "I fan't afford a new dress this year. That three weeks I was siek last month put that out of the(Uestion, and so it docs si-cm as if I could buy that liir if I want to. Only it would lie silly downright silly!" and she sighed. I never had anything as pretty as that. Maybe that's why I seem to have set my heart on it. Kven my dn-sw-s haw U-eii brown or black. They last U tter. "I've had a kind of browd and black life anyway. Hut there now, that sounds complaining, and I've no cause to complain. The Ijord's liecll good to ue ami prosierfd me right along." "tiooil evening, Miss Thankful," said a cheerful voiiv at her side. "Itight niiv window. Our trimmer heats any in town. Lots of pretty things .," lie adkil, with the pardonable pride of a head clerk. 'Hiooi I evening, Mr. Jones," answer ed Miss Thankful' "Yes, I was just looking in at the goods. I" she hesi tated " was jut noticing that blue satin Uig over there in the corner s. ." "t Hi, yes, that pretty bag. Pretty thing. Cheap too. I know a giKxl iiieee of Kitin when I see iL Funnv it was not sold tu-tlay. Will lie to-morrow likely." Miss Thankful felt he? desire to ios pess the liag increasing. "On your way home? I-ct me take your uinlm-lla," and they walked on tsrether. M is-. Thankful had a divided liking for this one of the Uiarders, jianly lie cause he never forgot to show her the same courtesy tluit he would show to Fiorviuvor any younger woman. And tiiia is very gratifying to a woman who - !in no claim t youth or U-airty. Tie was a timid young man, with a cnWlcss moustache and drab hair, who talked with a jerk, Iut Miss Thankful always iiked him. Yhen they reached the Uiarding house; she went very thoughtfully up to her room. Mr. Jones had discours ed most of the way njion the amiable jiialitHK Floremv itossesmil, all of which remarks she had heartily sec onded. When she had lighUil the gas she sat down with the thoughtful ex pression still on her fav. "I wonder," she said. "I do just wonder. But he would never under the shining sun have the couragt to tell her," and she smild. Mr. Jones a name I do aUiminate, and Florence so pretty and him with those odorless eyes and washed out hair! Hut then he is just as kind as he can be, and I make no doubt would be a good provider." The next night w hen Miss Tliankful cam into her room she turned on Uth the gas jets an unheard of extra va gancc. She MirTH-d a small parcel done up in tissue aper, and U-fore she sto to take off her Unmet she went over to the lied and untied the package. It was the blue satin Jwrty liag. "It's a lot prettier than it was at the store," she said, smiling at it where it lay spread out ou the white cover in all the arrogaiioe of assured lieauty. "Those piiiWfoscs are lovely. I'm silly as I can lie.- I know that well enough: That's w hy I asked Mr. Jones lint to speak of my gi tti.ig it. Maylie next summer I car. have a lawn with a little blue sprig in iL This would go U-autifuIlr with that. I don't think I ui too old for a Uwn on a hot day and I'm just glad I got it so thTc!" Then slie w rapjul up the lg and put jt away in her trunk. After suppi-r Hori'inv came up to Uit x-r, and Miss Thankful was tempted to tell her at Kit iL Hut she was full of her own plans, and tltc lg was not mentiotusL 'Tlicre Is to lie a party to-morrow evening at Marj- Moor's. It's the 14th you know," said Florence happily. "I am going to wear my blue cloth dress. 1'vt worn it a lot, Miss Thankful, Uit mother y I may liave a imw sash. That will freshen It up. Hut, oh, I v5h 1 wdliUiave A j'-tt'ty hug tliit I saw dow n in t'.iopcr'a w initow. It w as a light Mne and lined w ith pink. Such a lieauty! I wish you had sen it. I can't have anything !ut the sash though, nnd so then- is no use in wish ing." "I did see it," Kild Miss Thankful, "and it was pretty. I sorter w ishd fur it myself." FloreiH-e Lnighed. "Oh, of course, you would not want it, but if you had set n it 10 years airo you might have," she said, with the serene thoughtle-s-lios of youth. Miss Thankful grew silent. "Mr. Joins has a-ke-l me to gfi to cv-ning servhv tw i-e lately," she went on presently. "I think he is aUiut the U-st looking young man lure, don't you, Miss Thankful? He never talks much, but I suppose he thinks a great deal. I used to think he disliked me, he stammered so whenever I spoke to him, but I guess it was just Un-ause he didn't feci acquainted." And then followed a re cital of Mr. Jones' sayings. After she had gone Miss Tliankful sat for a long, long time in front of the grate, with sad dreamy eyes fixed on the fire. She was ping over in her mind a time 25 years before. "He was nothing like Mr. Jones," she said. "He was good looking and so tall, but he was j'ist as timid, and I acted as carelcas and ludiirereiit as I knew how! Jirls are foolish creatures. He never got up the courage to tell inc. And then we moved away, and that was all. X other man ever looked at me, and 1 can't say as I want them to, either." Slie undressed slow ly. Slie felt old. This looking Uick at one's youth has a tendency to make one feel old if it lies 3- years U-hind one. When she was all ready for lied, she ojieued the trunk and took out the par ty bag. She opened the door and listened. Everything was still in the dim hall. Florence's room was only a few doors away. Miss Thankful slipiied noise-l-ssly along, anil when she reached the door she hung the riblion over the knob and as softly stole U.iek. She had put no card in the Img there was no need. Florence would knew who sent it, and then she went to lied and to sleep. The next morning Florence knocked at the door almost liefore Miss Thank ful was dressed and came in with a flushed, happy face. "Oh, Miss Thankful," she cried, "I have hal the loveliest gift! What do you think that blue satin party Iwg! "Of course Mr. Jones sent iL I ak ed him last night if it was sold yet, and he grew just as red and stammer ed so. I know why now. Mother says I may keep it, and I wrote him a note of thanks this morning and put it under his plate. That was the easiest way of thanking him. He is having an early breakfast now, so I thought I would wait and go down with you this time." Ami she fluttered aliout the room in happy excitenieiiL Meantime Mr. Jones was in a very uiKvrtain and puzzled state of bliss. The note had thanked him for his U-autiful gift, but neglected To tell what the gift was. He left the house w ithout U ing able to rct a glinise of Floremv. At noon there wasanother tiny white missive under his door. Hut this, much to his disappointment, proved to lie from Miss Thankful. Dkak Mr. Joxks Florence thinks you sent that satin bag. It would lie dreadful for her to know differently af ter thanking you for iL For her sake please do not ever tell lnT that you did noL Your friend, TlIAXKKt l. HoI'K. Mr. Jones studied this note with smiling eyes. "For her sake," that clause' gave him a quick thrill of pleasure. She would U' sorry to liud out then, that it was not his gift. He must answer Florence's note, and this was the result of a half-dozen at tempts: 1)i:ak Miss Fijokkni'K That bag could not hold the valentine I would like to give you if I dared. It is the biggi-st and homeliest valentine a young lady ever got. If you care to have me tell you aliout it, please carry the blue s;it in bag when you come down to dinner. F.itAsrrs Joxks. He oMild hear Floremv singing in her r.Mim, and he called the U llboy and sent the note to her. "There now," he said, when this had been accomplished, "if it had not Uvil for Miss Thankful I would never have had the grit to send that, ami, what's more, I U-lieve Miss Thankful knew it, bless her! "If Floremv does not have that blue thing on her arm, I'll give Miss Thank ful the very U-st ilrcs that CVioper & Cooer have in the store." And Miss Tliankful got the dress.

While the steamer" wn lying at Castle iVmie landing a few days since, liKidiug with ore, a fine Uind of them on the opposite shore came down to the river to feed on the lmnks, -where the grass and weetls were green, and to get a drink tif water.

They go wherever they please. Noth ing stoj them in their course. When the Colorado is at its flood, they will cross it ft mn shore to shore, even near the Hardie, where' it is four mile's wide when at its highest gague. Their range gives them the finest feed wihl sweet jHitatoe-s, tules, stray fish, clams, dead turtle's and seaweed along the riv er liank at low title. They are unmolested, exevpt now ami then by a hunter who finels his way down the river. Most f the hun-te-rs give the wild swine a wide berth, except now and then as they hapH-ii to spy a nice little roa-ter on the lank and within easy rifle shot. A few years ago a man and his fami ly were living a few miles U-low the colony on the bank of the Colorado, who had a juiir of fine', large stag hounds, whieh the owner claimed could run down and kill any wild hog in that region. One day betook the dogs and rifle and went for a niv little one, just right for the oven. He had not gone far U-fore he found a large band of hors and turned his dogs loose on them. No sooner had they started when out of the tules near by jumped an enormous Uiar, a monster, who, with mouth ojh ii, paying no attention to the dogs, made for the hunter. The latter drew up his ritle and fired, but on came the Uiar, the dogs nipping him at eve ry jump. The hunter tire-d a see-ond shot, but on came the Unst. The hunter turtles! and ran for a nie-sijuite' trve a fe-w yards distant, the hog -losc to his hevls. He drop Mil his gun and ran for life, grasp ing a limb of the trev just as the hog grabUi! his pants ind tore one-half of thetu from him, but he was safe, just out of re-aeh. The dojrs all this while ran grabbing the hog by the hind le-gs, to which the U-ast paid no attention. The mad Uiar se-iztil the Uirk of the tree in his great tusks and tore it into shmls. Finally he turueil ujmiii the dogs, instantly killed one and wound ed the oilier so that it died soon after. He then tu riuil his attention to the tree w he re sat the hunter. He guard ed him until it was dark. Twitv did the man ge-t elown and try to ge-t his rifle, but his fe was on guard and drove him U.iek up the trev. During the night the Uiar le ft.

No Comfort One of the first clever spivches set flown to the credit of Lord Maeaulay U-longs to his very early days, and must have Uvn entirely spontaneous. When he was in Trinity College he at tended a Cambridge election, where the mob, with the freedom peculiar to Hritlsh voters, we-re hustling the suc cessful candidate. Missiles of all sorts were flying aUiut, and Macaulay's ardor for public life may have Uvn somewhat etMileil by the' dead tit which he received full in the face. The man who had thrown it apoltigizcd profusely, ami assured him that he had only mistaken his aim. "The cat was meaut for Mr. Atleanc," said he. "Then," said Maeaulay, ruefully. "I wish you had meant it for me ami hit Mr. Adeane!" Catch Questions. If a goose weighs 10 jsuinds and a half it ow n weight, w hat U the weight of the goose? Who has not Uvn te'inpt- etl to reply on the Instant 1 muml? the correct answer being, of course, -J) pounds. It is astonishing what a very si m ile query will some-time catch a wise man napping. Even the follow ing have Uvn known to succeed : How many days would it take to cut up a piece of cloth m) yards long, one yard U-ing cut off every day. A snail climbing up a jKile 20 feet high aseviids five fevt every day ami slis down for every night. How long will the snail take to reach the top of the post ? A wise man having a window one yard high ami one yard wide, requiring more light, enlarged his w indow to twiv its former size', yet the window was ouly one yard high ami one yard wide. How was this done? This Is a catch question in geometry, as the preceding were catch question in arithmetic. The window was dia mond shajied at first and was afterward made square. As to the two former, ierhaps it is scarcely necessary seriously to mint out tluit the answer to the first Ls not 50 tlays, but 4'.), ami to the second not 3) days, but 10, since the snail who gains one foot each day for l- days on tlie sixteenth day gets to the top of the pole and here remains.
