CfflSTY'S'TBiPLE
THANKSGIVING
By CARL WILLIAMS.
U had just conic In tils enr from
tho Ucncou-Uurgrnro wed
ding. In Howard Christy's
estimation all weddings were
cores, but ono must be bored In tho
cnuso of a merger still Imaging lire.
And now, with tho ceremony and
iiulclily dispatched reception behind
him, ho was headed for tho otllce onco
more, nil patlont secretary would bo
waiting him.
"Mother!"
In tho half gloom, half mist of the
oncoming twilight, aa bis car was
wedged In among scores of other ve-
hides In front of tho Grand Central 1
utatlon. he heard that word, and heav
en only knows why he leaned forward
to seo who had uttered It
Ho looked straight into tho dewy i
depths of wonderful Tlolot eyes, but
they were not flxed on him.
They looked far beyond, across the
tanglo of vehicles, to whoro a woman
with soft brown hair and beautiful 1
gray eyes smiled to the girl from out
i mass of furs and violets.
Christy forgot to urge his chauffeur
to get out of tho tangle somehow. He
at quite still for
f one long thought
ful mlnuto.
Then he leaned
forward with a
lngularly serene
xpreeslon on his
strong, determin
ed face.
Tou. can drop
me hero. 1 am
going out of
town."
"Yea, sir," was
tho man's me
chanical renlv
"TOD CA DSOV MB not BO mucu
MERE." M by th( fl,cker
of an eyelash did he betray his aston
ishment as his master stepped from
the car and. Immaculate In frock coat,
gray trousers, silk hat, soft gray gloves
and boutonnlere, stalked through the
gloom and crowd Into the brilliantly
lighted station.
Christy had a private car In one of
the uptown yards, but he gave It no
thought. He bought a ticket for Tru
mansburg. He was going home for
Thanksgiving with "mother."
Years had passed over his head since
he had left Trumansburg. He bad
often thought of going back for a visit,
but the second thought was better than
the first. It always ended In his send
ing for his mother to visit him Instead.
Christy was not a Napoleon of finance.
In all these years he had made no
meteoric rise, but he had climbed
steadily, and now, as he had acquired
a patch of gray over each ear and a
trifling stoop of the shoulders, he had
turned over his fifth million.
Eminent nerve specialists had warn
ed him that he must cease his endeav
ors or lose his health, but Christy
laughed at them.
Neither urglngs of friends nor orders
of physicians had any effect. Yet he
now yielded to tho note of Joy in a
girl's voice and was going home.
The girl's voice had brought home
and mother back to him, and as the
train dashed on be smiled softly to
himself and planned his arrival nt
home.
He had taken tho flier because It
was the first train out. A word to the
amiable conductor, and tho engineer
was Instructed to stop at Trumans
burg. The station was dark when, a little
after midnight, tho train paused Just
long enough for the single passenger
to drop to the platform.
But there was a light In the post
office across tho road from tho depot,
and presently a man came out to take
the mall bag flung off by the messen
gers. "That train stop here?" ho asked In
credulously ofChrlsty.
"For a moment," was tho amused re
iponse. "Do you know where I can
get a bed this time of night?"
The mall carrier regarded him with
aisdaln. "Of course," he said loftily.
"This town ain't so small that It does
not have hotels. You can always get
Into tho Liberty House If you ring
loud enough. Ifs two blocks north,
one cast"
In tho morning ho banted up thr
residence of one of the clothing store
proprietors and induced blm to open
his store. Hero be selected an outfit
less conspicuous than his wedding
guest attire and of the sort he had
once regarded a tba last word of ele
gance. He lighted a cigar and strolled over
to the church. He knew that tho fam
ily celebration al
ways started
with tho morn
mg service, while
the most depend
able grandchild
remained at home
to baste the tur
key and keep tho
Are up.
He bad not long
to wait befora
the old farm wag
on drove up, and
It was Chv'sty
who helped his
mother out and "' didn't hecoonuk
kissed the with- T0V"
ered cheek aa be held her In bis arms
for an Instant.
The old lady looked up in surprise;
then, with a glad little cry, ib threw
ber trtns about hU neck.
"I didn't Mcocniu you you looked
bo llkn one of on, Howard.'' ohe said
tremblingly.
"That's what I'm thnnkfnl for. I
can still be ouo of you." ho answered,
and ho told himself that the losses he
would have to stand on the denls that
would suffer In his absence wero well
repaid by tho look of delight In hi
mother's eyes.
They slipped quietly Into the church,
and none realized that the man In the
cheap suit was tho "Christy boy" of
whom they had heard so much and
H'en nothing.
They sot hlra down as ono of the
distant relatives of tho Chrlstys, and
only Nan Copeland. eeelng with the
eyes of her heart, could tell that It
was tho much talked of millionaire.
It was Nan whom Christy sought
when the short service of prayer was
done. She laid her hand timidly in his,
but her eyes spoke her welcome not
to bo concealed.
"What In the world brings you hero7'
ho asked In surprise. "We thought
that you had quite forgotten Trumans
burg." "I came to aee my mother and you."
he answered in a wh taper. "I thought
it wi only mother. Nan, but whon t
aw yon I reallaed that there were two
persona I had coins to see. Ia there
any chance for mr
For a moment the girl wa silent
Onco sn had dreamed dreams of a
homo in which she and Howard Chris
ty should Uve happily over after.
Then lie had made his first scoop In
Wall street, and
after that tker
was no time for
thoughts of love
on ChrUty Part
The correspond
ence dwindled
down and died.
Now he teemed
to have reverted
to the Howard
Christy she had
always loved.
"There may be
a c h a d c e 1 n
time," she admit
ted. "i't tkbiui THisai
"You don't need TO Bn THJuncyuL
to add that last" OB-"
he said humbly. "I didn't suppose that
you wore going to fall on my neck Just
because I came back and asked you.
But If there Isn't any one else I'm go
ing back to town to close up some
deals, and then I'm coming homo to
convince you that I'll make a model
husband. Thero Isn't any one else. Is
there. Nan?"
"Not as yet" sho conceded, and
Christy smiled radiantly.
"I've three things to be thankful
for," he aald Jubilantly. "You and my
mother and my own old self. Three
'hanks for one Thanksgiving aro a
whole lot Nan, and tho best of these
Is"-
"Your own old solf," quoted Nancy,
coloring delightfully, and Christy read
in her eyes that his probation would
not be long.
Thanksgiving Table Decorations.
.Here art some suggestions for the
decoration of tho Thanksgiving dinner
table:
Instead of the costly flowers for the
central ornament of tho table make a
centerpiece that will delight overy one
by its novel appropriateness. On a
mirror plateau place a pumpkin, the
yellowest and fairest that ever glowed
between rows of fading corn. The top
must be cut off and some of the center
removed. The space Is then lined with
smilax, asparagus fern or the hardy
dogtooth fern that every country boy
knows defies the frost and can be
found aa fresh under tho snow as
when wet by summer rains. Heap
the space high with lady apples, grace
ful bunches of grapes and yet more
ferns, allowing a few of the latter to
stray down the side and rest their
pretty tracery on the white cloth.
Or get a low, round wicker baskets
and pile it high with rosy cheeked ap-"
pics, letting three or four of them drorjfi
.
from It on the tablecloth to signify
abundance. At each plate placo a red
apple decorated with a ruff and frilled
paper cap and sketch with Ink a comic
face on the smooth skin. It will create
no end of fun for the children.
Or pile a basket with either apples or
pears and place a border of autumn
leaves around It; also one around each
of the plates at the table.
Get a big bunch of yellow chrysan
themums and put them either In an
old blue ginger Jar or a brown earth
enware pitcher. Falling these, a small
bean pot such as Is used for baking
beans will pTOve a decorative recepta
cle for them. Place two or thrco of
the chrysanthemums on tho tablecloth
near It-
A basket piled fall of yellow oars of
com is a unique centerpiece. With
this should be placed at each plate
three grains of corn to commemorate
the time in 1623 when the crops foil
ed and the colonists were threatened
with starvation, being put on rations
of a few kernels of corn a day. A day
of fastUg and prayer was appointed
then, and directly after, as If In .an
swer, there was a long continued rain
storm, and a vessel arrived laden with
provisions. Then In gratitude a day
of thanksgiving was appointed about
the middle of July. This was observed
for some fifty years, when tho day
was changed to harvest time. Boston
Herald.
Charity's Visiting Day.
Charity begins at home, but at
Thanksgiving time It ought to go visit
ing and help to make happy the lives
of those to whom turkey Is only n
memory or a mockery.

Imagination Is deceptive.
A House tiullt Upon the Sand.
Tho Nowton (N. J.) Qos and Elec
tric Company, a concern of considers;
bio magnitude, Is In a fair way to be
forced into the hands of receivers
through neglect to heed the Scriptural
wnrnlng, supported as It la by tho
building experience and authority ot
all ages. Tho company erected Its
quite extensive plant upon the sand.
So Insecure has It become that It
must bo ronioved to another location
or all business he suspended. For
such removal no funds are available
and an application for a receivership
was made.
Tho liabilities of the company con
list of JHC.000 in bonAi and JJ.50
In tho form of accrued laterest, while
Its assets aro placed at JI4.000. But
for the failure of Its plant It could
easily bo placed Id a solvent condi
tion. It would be laterMtla to know
how such a mistake In construction
was made, as It seems unlikely that
any real architect would have sug
gested building a costly manufactur
ing plant upon sand. Builders Gazette.
