There is mi use liea'.'ne; ahout the h is'i and plo'emiim,' that it was Mrs. Leamington's liriliiant ronvcrsation that enchanted him. That would he ahsurd for two reasons. First, because the poor old lady when she spoke at all talked of nothing hut the better days him had once known, and, H'cond, because she was generally im- : polite enoult to sleep loir' lieloro Mr. pletely rlir.erl. M'ltat could nho dot Bite couhl not remain more than a fortnight without work. If iilio did, the small hoard of arins that nho kept ns on cmerjjenry fund would be exhausted.

Slto had I thouifht of making nmn sort of denper- nte appeal to tiiesc frigid nutorrnU. Hut once in their presence, and hlto found it impossible, Kciijoning was out of the question. "Leave your ndilrcss"' was tho only balm volunteered, nnd what balm that is to the workseekerl On her way home from this discourag ing quest, her ryes weie attracted by a plnrniLj poster, fitfully lijrhted by a nt:ie;Ii thiito cipiul bleMings ' boring lamp. In b'i' blue letters the announcement was made that a glittering spectacle would ultortly be presented nt Niblo's Garden, with 'bevies of beauti ful girls and hundreds of stalwart men." A sudden inspiration enmu to Peggy. Mio had liven to the theatre but twice in her life and knew very little about it, but she had seen girls much uglier thnn she was joining in stage crowds nnd playing small, unimportant parts. If only she could get n chi.nee in fine of tho "bevies of beautiful uiils!" It would pay her better than the sewing nnd it would ben pleasant change. Without giving herself tim" for reflection she went thcro nnd then to th" sta re door of the big theatre 1 to see the malinger of the com- j pany that v. a to give the production, j lie came to hi r and idio did not faint ' when he appeared. On the contrary, sho I was very much on the alert nnd answered nil questions with n self-assurance that I evidently plca'cd the gentleman who put i thetll. ! He npp'irer.tly like 1 her appearance, and l.e smiled with a sort of gratitude 1 when she said sli" couldn't net, ntnl j wasn't at all accomplished, because inan ' ngirs very rarely inei t that kind of er son. Applicants for position on tho stage are nearly always the greatest people on earih in tiieir own cstiinn i lion. "I will give you n chance, young h'dy," he said at last,'' and will enst you for a small pari called the Queen of the I (illumes. You have but n few lines to speak, and have finished at tho end of tiie ser .nd act, when you can go homo to ' your mother." ! For l'e-ry had told this kindly looking manager everything. She was di lighted at her luck and went homo 'on air." 1: was not till later, when her in.'thir had fallen asleep over her ; knitting, that l'eggy began to feel a j little doubtful. She would not dura to . tell Mis. Leamington what sho win going to do. The old lady had a perfect horror of theatres, and, after all, Peggy re t fleeted, it would not be necessary to di i vu'ge her secret. She could lord; for ' work in the shops every day, nnd then ! when she found it she could resign from , her queenshipof thu gnomes. It was ab solutely necessary that ho earn money. Starvation blared them iu tho faco with , out it. ' And .Tack no, she could not tell Jack. Mr. lluilington would c-riainly not care to ime.'.dni: that his alllanccd wife was every evt niiig a quel :i of the gnomes for the benelit of a critical public. Poor Vr:; :y 1 She rchcllcd ut the idea of de- cep'.iou. It is easy to be frank and straightforward when there is no reason w hy you should be otherwise. One thing s!ie reinenibere 1 with jov.

Sil" had all llli lenia- bin will of her own, luckily for her and . for tiie querulous old inotli'T dependent upon her exertions. Poor Pegoy's life had been o::e tu multuous struggle ever since her father died, lie had left his wife and daughter penniless; and even that was not the full extent of their diseomfort.

If Peggy hnd applied tc Jack ho might have helped her, but th independent littlo lady would have cut out her tongue rather than apply to th young mnn.

I make your mother promise not to tell you of my visit. Next night I dis covered what you wero doing no matter how. Last night I gave you an oppor tunity to conllde iu lue. No, you wero too belf-w illed. So I puzzled the thing over, und finally decided upon this scheme. I knew the stage manager of the company, end also tho manager. It nppears that tho fellow who has played the King of tin; Gnomes left suddenly after last night' performance. They have engaged somebody for Monday. I persuaded theiu to let me go ou to night." "Oil, Jack !" exclaimed Teggy. She could say nothing moro. "Well, Miss Leamington." "Will you ever forgivo me, Jack, fo my deception. I itiu vero awful, I know : but, but oh! I hal to do it!" Mr. Kulllugton put his hand into his pocket, ami pulled out an envelope. Prom this he extracted something that looked like a check, und presented it to Peggy. "That," he said, "is a receipt for ono month's rent in advance of a lovely littlo llut in Harlem, beginning from the 1st of next month. I've been 'raised,' Peggy, and and" "What, Jack, dear?" asked Peggy, innocently. "Can't you guess?" hushfully. "You've been 'raised' you tell tne, and you show me the receipt for the rent of u tint. I suppose you are going to live there. That is it, isn't it, Jack?" (All this with the most bewildering uncon sciousness.) "Yes, I'm going to live there, Peggy," said Jack, "with you as uiy wife, if you will." Then, although they wero in the street, he gave her ii tender, unmistakable kiss a most disgraceful proceeding andshe.n willing accomplice, raised not the least objection. Luckily it was very dark uud thu neighborhood was deserted. "You haven't given mo iny answer,' said Jack ut last. "Well," declared Miss Leamington, "ns you have secured tho flat and paid tho rent iu advance, I don't really see why you can't take my nnswer for granted.

Tho trouble, of course, is in the making ; it is often mixed up too wet. The steam of tho bird as it cooks fur nishes almost enough moisture. Try the following and see if it is not light and tempting: Break up into fine crumbs a sufficient fpiaiitity of the soft inside por tion of a loaf of bread (being sure not to have uny hard pieces) ; season with salt, pepper, a littlo chopped parsclcy, pow dered sage or thyme, as you may prefer; nnd melted butter enough to moisten tho whole and mix well together." Tho following is a recipe for pumpkin pie, tho quantities given being for one pieouly: A generous half-pint of rich milk, ono heaping tuhlcspoohful of stewed pumpkin, ono egg, (white nnd yoke separately beaten), and half a tea spoonful of Hour. Sugar to taste; a lit tle ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat well together, ull except tho whites of eggs; odd these last, stirring them in quickly but thoroughly, and br.ko in u quick oven. According to Mr. Henderson, a turkey of seven or eight pounds (the best selec tion, if fat) should bo roasted or baked threo hours nt least, nud u large turkey should not bo cooked a minute less than four hours, nn extra hour being prefera ble to n minute less. Long cooking, with freipicut basting, is the secret of good turkey. Traditional Thanksgiving faro in cludes roast turkey, roast chicken, chicken ' jut", squash, potatoes, turnips, cauliflower, cold i.la w, celery and other seasonable vegetables; a rich pudding, a goodly array of pies mince, puinpkiu and squash occupying tho places of honor cuke, fruits, nuts, etc, From these dishes tho tho housekeeper will select a satisfying but not too heavy menu.
