Tribune. | Miss Lucinda's J j Lost Brooch} Every Thanksgiviug day brought the Pettiboues together under the old home roof. It was the great day of the year for them, and nothing could bring keen er disappointment to young or old than to be prevented from celebrating it un der the old time honored custom, which they had been brought up to regard quite as much In the light of duty as a pleasure. Aunt Cindy, busy over the concoction of the "punkin" pies for which she was famous throughout all Lilbury "and the region roundabout," was thinking of dead and gone Thanksgiv ings. As she beat a bowl of eggs Into golden froth her thoughts went back to that Thanksgiviug day ten years ago when a shadow fell upon her life—a shadow that had never lifted. True, but few eyes saw It nowadays, but it was In her heart yet, and all the sunshine of licr quiet, peaceful life could not dis pel It. "I wonder what has become of him?" she said to herself as she sifted sugar crystals into the foaming mass. "Per haps he's dead. Who knows? Teij years is a long time, and n great many things may happen in them." If a tear or two fell Into the bowl, I do not think the pies were any the worse for them. Perhaps they gave them a better flavor. "He" was Robert Grant, and Robert Grant had been lior lover long ago. Everybody had said "It was going to be a match" between them, and in this case "everybody" bad good reasons for thinking so, for, though no formal en gagement had ever existed between them, there had been a tacit under standing of the heart which it is never necessary to put into words to make one's meaning and intention plain. But on that Thanksgiving day ten years ago there had arisen some misunder standing which had parted them. Just what it was about Lueinda could not tell now as she thought about It. "We were both so foolish, so unreasonable," she had often told herself. "To think of letting two lives be parted by some thing so insignificant that neither fully understood what it was!" "Dear me!" exclaimed Martha Petti bone, Lucinda's sister-in-law, as she dropped into a comfortable rocking chair In one corner of the kitchen. "I'm glad we've got about done with our work, ain't you, Lueinda? I'm al ius real glad to have 'em come here, but one gets so nigh beat out with cookln an fussin that I'm alius glad that it don't happen more'n once a year. "Why, Cindy," suddenly, "where is your breastpin? I thought you had it on! You don't look uat'ral without it." Luciiula put her hand to her collar. The brooch she always wore was gone. "I can't think what's become of it!" she said in great surprise. "I certainly had it on at breakfast time. I don't THR BROOCH SHE ALWAYS WORE WAS GONE, remember being out of the kitchen since. It must be somewhere about the room." A careful search was made, but the brooch was not to be found. Thanksgiving day dawned clear and beautiful, as all Thanksgiving day mornings ought, to be in keeping with the thoughts which come, or ought to come, at such a time. "Now, Cindy, you run right up an git ready to receive the company," said Martha after breakfast. "I'll see to all that needs doin down stairs." So Lueinda went up to her room and "got ready." The dark wine colored cashmere dross she donned was very becoming to her fair complexion, with soft frills of lace at throat and wrists. "I don't seem to grow old very fast In looks," she thought as she stood be fore the glass to give the last feminine touches to her toilet. "Thirty-five, Lu einda rcttibone! Do you realize that that means half an ordinary lifetime?" Then she sighed, for a thought came Into her mind of what life might have tiecn If— All, these "ifs!" "Hurry up. Aunt Cindy!" cried John Junior from the stairs. "They're comln, ['cause I hear bells! Hooray!" Then there was a stampede of new boots idowu the hall. "Martin's folks Is here," said Martha, putting her head out of the kitchen. "Tell 'em I'll be In us soon as I've tend ed to the turkey," I.nelndu went Into the sitting room to receive the guests. The ulr was full of kindly greetings and good wishes as she shook hands with the newcomers. They seemed to have brought the very spirit of Thanksgiving with them. "Where's Martha?" asked Sister Sa rah almost as soon as handshaking was over. "I want to see her about somethln the worst way. In the kitch en? Well, then, I'll go right In. You stay here an see to the children, Cin dy, while I'm gone." "For the lan's sake!" cried Martha as Sarah appeared In the kitchen door. "How do you do, an how's all the folks?" "Quite well, thanky," responded Sa rah, with proper politeness, which was Instantly put aside as soon as the dooi was closed behind her and the two were alone. "Martha Pettlbone, I've got some news for you. You can't guess who came to our house las' night?" "Elder Ilogaboom," ventured Mar tha. "Elder Ilogaboom, Indeed!" exclaim ed Sarah. "I knew you'd get way off! You'd never think of the right person. 'Twas Itobert Grant!" "For goodness sake!" cried Martha. "Air you reely In earnest, Snry? It don't seem as if It could be so. Cindy an I was a-talkln about him yesterday an wonderln what had become of him." "Yes, 'tis so," answered Sarah, "an he's there now. We tried to coax him to come over with us, but he said he didn't know's 'twould be agreeable, but he'd like to the worst way. I jest know he was tliinkln of Cindy all the time. Now, I want to know if you have any idea she'd care If be should come. I thought I'd ask you 'fore I said any thing to her. Martin, he told John not to put the team out till he knows, an, If It would be agreeable, he's goin right back after Itobert." "I reckon she'd be glad to have him come," said Martha. "Oh, Sary, meb be It'll all turn out right yet. Who knows? He—he ain't married, Is he?" "No, he ain't, an I don't b'lleve he ever will be if Cindy don't have him," answered Sarah. "He blames himself for what happened. He jest the same as told me so. Call her In an ask her if she's willtn he should come." "Cindy, come In here a mlnlt, won't you?" called Martha, In a flutter of de lightful excitement. "Dear me, Sary, I feel's If somethln was goln to hap pen! Wouldn't It be jest splendid If they should make up ?" "What's wanted?" asked Lueinda. "Cindy," said Martha as solemnly as if about to inform her of some body's death, "somebody's come back." Lueinda started, and her cheeks grew pale. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came. "He's over to Martin's, and Sary wants to know If you'd And any fault with havin him come over to eat Tliauksgivln dinner with us. It don't seem jest right to let him spend such a day there alone, does It?" "Why shouldn't he come?" said Lu einda. But It hardly seemed to either of the women as if she spoke to them. Indeed it hardly seemed to her, as she stood there face to face with the fact that after many years her old lover had come back, as if she was not alone with that one thought. "Oh, I'm so glad!" cried Sarah. "I'll run right out an tell Martin." Lueinda ran up to her chamber to think it all over alone. As she shut the door she heard the sound of bells, and, looking out, she saw Martin driving swiftly up the hill road on ills friendly errand. How the bells rang! He had come back! He was coining there! She would see him again, would hear ills voice and feel his hand clasp ing hers as in the old days when they met each other after these long years of separation! As in the old days? Perhaps not. There might have been changes of which she knew nothing. But they could at least meet as friends. Suddenly a sense of all the sorrow these vanished years had held seemed to force Itself upon her as she had never comprehended It before, and she laid her head down on the window sill and cried. By and by she aroused her self. "This will not do," she said as she looked at herself In the glass. She al most stared at the face she saw there. It was not like the face she had seen there this morning. This face seemed almost radiant. The clock was striking 11 when John junior sang out that "Uncle Mart Is eomin back, an there Is a man with him." There was a general stampede of youngsters for the front door. Lueinda felt a wild impulse to run away. But she did not. Martha and Sarah helped her to pass the ordeal of the next few minutes by being very demonstrative and talkative, thus drawing attention from her. She saw Robert Grant come into the room; she saw him shaking hands with all the grown folks and smiling at the wondering eyed chil dren and was dimly conscious of an Idea that It would take him years and years to get across the room to whore she stood. Then all at once Martha spoke and said: "An here's Cindy. She's glad, with all the rest of us, to see you back, Rob ert," and then she felt her hand clasp ed close in Robert's hand once more and heard him say: "I'm glad to see you." Only a few simple words, but they might mean so much or so little. When they were seated at the dinner table, Martin happened to notice all at once that Lueinda didn't look familiar. "Why, Cindy, what's become of moth er's breas'pln?" he asked. "I hain't seen you 'tbout It afore scuee I eau re member." "I don't know what has become ot It," auswercd his sister. "I lost It yes- tordny. I'd give anything If I could find It." Just at this juncture the pumpkin pies were brought In. "These are Cindy's pies," said Mar tha. "When I've said that, I know you'll want a piece." "Or two pieces, more likely," answer ed Martin. "Let me see, you used tc like Cindy's pies, Robert. I s'pose you hain't forgot how they tasted?" "I don't believe I have," answered Robert as he took a "piece" and fell tc enjoying It. All at once ho put his napkin to his mouth, and John junior, who was en during the tortures a hoy always expe riences when he has to wait, whispered to his Cousin Tildy that he guessed thai feller'd bit his tongue or something. "How bright and pleasant it looks outside!" Robert Grant said to Lucinda after dinner. "Don't you want to take a walk?" "I think a little of tills bracing Thanksgiving day air would do me SOTH WEItE TOO IIUSY WITH THOUGHTS OF THE PAST. good," she answered and went up Btairs after her bonnet and shawl. Her heart was all In a flutter again. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself!" she snid to herself. "Thirty-five years old and acting like a girl!" For some time neither of the two spoke as they went up the hillside road side by side. Roth were too busy with thoughts of the past. Suddenly Robert paused and faced her. "Lueinda," he said, and his voice was not very steady, "perhaps we can nev er he to each other what I think both of lis hoped years ago. hut we can, I trust, he friends. I want to tell you that I ltnve been sorry for what I said to you that day ever since the words were spoken. Hut I was too stubborn to sny so then. Can you, will you, forgive me at this late day?" "I was as much to blame as you were," she answered. "I would have told yon so long ago If you had given me the opportunity to do so. Let us forget It all and he friends and In our friendship make up for the loss If we can." "But can we he nothing more to each other?" he cried, Ills eyes full of eager noss, his face bright with hope. "1 love you yet, Lucinda! I have loved you all these years. If you ran over look the past, If you will only lot me try to make you as happy In the days to come as we might have been In the days gone by!" "Are you sure you want me?" she asked, her face quite pale. "I am no longer young, remember. Do not make the Worst of all mistakes—mistaking pity for love." "I shall make no such mistake as that," he said. "Don't be afrnjd of that, Lucinda," a sudden smile break ing across his face. "Y'ou are not the woman to make an offer and then re fuse to live up to it." "I don't know what you menu," she said, looking at him wonileringly. "Don't you remember that you said when we were eating dinner that you would give anything to find your lost brooch? Now, that means, I take it, that whatever the person who finds it and restores It to you asks for you are hound to give him. I have found it. Here it is, Lucinda. What I ask as a reward is—yourself. Y'ou will keep your word and give me what I ask, I hope. Will you, dear, or won't you?" "Your logic is not to bo contended against," slie answered, with a little laugh that somehow had a quiver in it. "I suppose you want me, Robert. If you need me and insist on having me, why, take me." He put his arms about her and kissed her. "May nothing come between us henceforth," he said earnestly, solemn ly, and her heart repeated his words. "I suppose you wonder how X came to find the lost brooch," he said as they turned homeward. "I was going to ask you about that," she answered, "but before I got to it I thought—of somethiug else," with a little blush, "and forgot It. Where did you And it? We have hunted ldgh and low for it." "You didn't find it because you didn't look in the right place," he answered. "It came to ine in a piece of pumpkin pie. I have read about some one who discovered pearls In the wine she drank, but I had no idea that ordinary people of today flavored their pies with articles of jewelry. I think fate had something to do with it." In the twilight of that November day the man and woman whose lives had drifted apart for ten long years stood side by side and looked out upou the white world with thoughts of un utterable thanksgiving in their heajts. A current on the sea of time had brought those lives together ngaln, and henceforth no wind of passion would separate them, please God. Chape rone. THE HARCUR TRIAL. Schuylkill County I'aperH Commend One of Our Ilrillliint Attorneys. The acquittal of Thomas Hareur, who was tried last week at Pottsville for the murder of Ralph Mills at Oneida during the strike, has made a record for our townsman, D. J. McCarthy, Esfp, in Schuylkill county. With few excep tions, his masterly defense of the accus ed is commented upon by all the news papers of that section. In its report of the trial the Mahanoy City American says: "The case was stubbornly contested by Coxe Bros, <fc Co., who had engaged what was supposed to be the best legal talent in the county. But a new man whoso mind is stored with legal lore, whose brain is active and brilliant, whose tongue is persuasively eloquent or writhingly sarcastic to a degree, had come to the front like a rocket and scattered to the winds the imaginary prowess of more than one Schuylkill county attorney. "His name is Daniel J. McCarthy, Esq., of Freeland, formerly a miner residing in Mahanoy City. To Mc- Carthy s ingenuity and eloquence is due principally the verdict rendered in favor of Harcur. "In bis speech to the jury McCarthy scored corporation lawyers, and their methods, paying particular attention to John F. Whalen, whom he roasted in a most frightful manner. Ills address was, in part, as follows. He said: " 'Thomas Ilarcur, the defendant, may stand up and face the people proud ly. He has a character to be proud of, and the commonwealth, with all the criminal machinery of Pennsylvania, with all the millions of corporations at its back, dare not assai! it. We resort to no tricks In defending this man. The witnesses of his character were placed on the stand first and everv chance was given to refute the evidence, but it could not be done.' "He said the defendant Is 37 years old, and across the sea, 4,000 miles away, an old grandfather awaits anxi ously to know whether a loved grandson shall bo deemed guilty of capital crime. His parents are dead, and fifteen years ago Tom Harcur, one of the great mass oppressed by the aristocracy and mon archal Institutions, Imbued with the love of liberty found In every man, and seeking the rights of man, came to America. The fact that Ilarcur he lungs to a labor union was referred to and the speaker said Chief Justice l'ax son has said workmen have that right, along with the privilege of working or not working for whom they please. "Ho said no disturbance occurred at Oneida from the beginning of the strike, September 2<J, to October 10, but it was desired to have trouble so that the strong arm of the military might be invoked to drive the workmen into submission. The poor, downtrodden Hungarians were not at the bottom of this trouble. It was charged that everything up there be longs to Coxe ltros. & Co. Continuing, Attorney McCarthy said: " 'And who is Elliott A. Oberrender, the prosecutor? There Is not a drop of Ralph Mills' blood In his veins. Who Is he? lie is a representative of Coxe Bros. Why didn't the county officials prosecute? Why does the district attor ney sit silent on his chair? Why have they got the Demosthenes, the Socrates and all the Tees hero to push thls'ease? The ablest lawyers at the bar? And what are the corporations after? Why, the life of this poor Hungarian? Did you ever see such greed after blood? There's danger ahead ! Hook out, there's danger ahead!' " DAN DOWNS WIIAI.KN. In its editorial column the American has the following: "Dan McCarthy, the new luminary in the legal firmament, made John Whalen. the egotistical Pottsvllle lawyer, drop a peg or two in his own estimation during the trial of Harcur, on trial at Pottsvllle for a murder committed at Oneida. Mc- Carthy scored Whalen unmercifully, making the latter understand that he was a frail thing when up against a brainier and more forceful character. McCarthy gave evidence that he will make the future bring fortune and fame to him." Many people worry because they be lieve they have heart disease.
