i I 1, for? IfwlSiP It Fas very pro voking that seam stresses and such peoplo would get married, liko tha rest of the world," Mrs, Greenough said, half in fun and half In earnest. Her fall sewing was just coming on, And here was Llz'.lo Urown, who had suited her so nice ly, going off to bo married ; and she had no resource but to ail vcr tine for another, and take whomsoever iho could get. No lees than ten women had been there that day, and not one would answer. " There comes Number Eleven; yon will see," sho cried, as the bell rang. Kitty Greenough looked on with Interest. Indeed. It was her gowns, rather limn her mother's, that were most pressing. She was Just sixteen, and since last winter she had shot up sud denly, as girls at that age so often do, and outgrown most of her clothes. Mrs. Greenough was right it was another seamstress; and Bridget showed In a plain, sad-looking woman, of about forty, with an air of Intense respoctablllty. Mrs. Greenough ex plained what she wanted done, and the woman said quietly that she was ac customed to such work would Mrs. Greenough be so kind as to look at some recommendations? Whereupon she banded out several lany-llke nolos, whose writers Indorsed the bearer, Mrs. Margaret Graham, as faithful and capa ble, used to trimmings of all corts, and quick to catch an Idea. "Very well, Indeed!" Mrs. Greenough said, as she finished reading them. "I ask nothing better. Can you bo ready to come at once?" "Tomorrow, if you wish, mndame," was the answer, and then Mrs. Graham went away, Kitty Greenongh was an Impulsive, Imaginative girl; no subject was too dull or too unpromising for her fancy to touch It. She made a story for her self about every new person who came In her way. After Number Eleven had gone down the stairs, Kitty laughed. "Isn't fcM a sobersides, mamma? I don't believe there'll be any frisk In my dresses at all if she trims them." "There'll bo frl.ik enough in them if you wear them," her mother answered, smiling at the bright, saury, winsome face of her one tall daughter. Kitty was ready to turn the conver sation. "What do you think she Is, mamma wife or widow?" And then answering her own question: "I think she's mar ried, and her husband's sick, and she has to take rare of him. That solemn, Mill way she has comes of much stay ing in a sick room. She's In the habit of keeping quiet, don't you see? I wish she were a little prettier; 1 think he would get well quicker." There'd bo no plain, quiet people In your world If yo:i made one," her uothr snld, smiling; "but you'd muko i V iS'tili jjrMf' -n'Kin: co.mka st'Miunt ixnvK.Y" tnUtaka i 0 tin in w.u.

"Seventeen Hudson street, ma'am; up two flights of stairs, and if I'm not there, Tom always Is." "There, didn't I tell you?" Kitty cried, exultlngly, after the woman had gone. "Didn't I tell you that he was sick? You see, now, Tom's always there." "Yes, but Tom may not be her hus band, and I don't think he Is. He Is much more likely to be her child." "Mrs. Greenough, I'm astonished at you. You say that to be contradictious. Now, it Is not nice to be contradictious; besides, she wouldn't look so quiet and snd If Tom were only her boy." 11 ut weeks passed on, and nothing moro was heard of Mrs. Graham, until, at last, Thanksgiving day was near at hand. Kitty wrb to have a new dress, and Mrs. Greenough, who had under- "I AM TOM." taken to finish It, found that she had not time. "Oh. let mo go for Mrs. Graham, mamma!" cried Kitty. "Luke can drhe me down to Hudaon street, and thon I shall see Tom." Mrs. Greenough laughed and con rnted. In n few mlnutcH Luke had brought to the door theone-hoiv.e coupe, which had !ien the lunt year's Christ mas gift of Papa Greenough to his wife, and in which MUa Kitty was alway glad to make an exi use for going cut.

Kitty cried, with the quick tears rushing to her eyes. "It must have almost killed your mother." "Yes that Is what makes her ko still and sober. She aever laughs.-but she never frets, either; and oh, how good she Is to me!" Kitty glanced around the room which seemed to her so burs. It was spotless- ly clean, and Tom's chair was soft and comfortable as, indeed, a chair ought to bo which must be sat in from morn ing till night. Opposite to it were a few pictures on tho wall engravings taken from books and magazines, ahd given, probably, to Mrs. Graham by some of her lady customers. Within easy reach was a little stand, on which stood a rose bush in a pot, and a basket full of bright colored worsteds, while a book or two lay besldo them. "And you never go out?" cried Kitty, forgetting her errand In her sympathy forgetting, too, that Luke and his Im patient horse were waiting below. "Not lately. Mother used to take me down into the street sometimes but I've grown too heavy for her now, and she can't. But I'm not very dull, even when she's gone. You wouldn't guess how many things I see from my win dow; and then I make worsted mats and tidies, and mother sells them; and then I sing." Kitty stepped to the window to see what range of vision it offered, and her eye fell on Luke. She recalled her business. "I came to see if I could get your mother to new two or three days for me this week." Tom was alert and business-like at once. "Let mo see," she said; "to-day Is Tuesday," and she drew toward her a little book, and looked It over. "To morrow Is engaged, but you could have Thursday, Friday and Saturday, if you want fo much. Please write your name against them." Kitty pulled off her pretty gray glove and wrote her name and address with Hut little toy pencil at tho end of her chatelaine; and then she turned to go. but it was Tom's turn to question. "Please," said the sweet, fresh voice, which seemed so like tho dear carol of 1.1 i;i: TKK ni:tt 1 p. a t. "aould vti iiiht 1 1. i'liitt; in" In till ii art I in uwtn. tnif. ' .

And then Kitty told all the sad. ten der little story, and got to crying ovei 't herself, and made her mother cry, too before she was through. Early on Thanksgiving Day, Kittj set forth with Luke, in the coiipe, whici also contained a huge basket filled wltr dalntles a turkey, a mince pie, and t variety of good things. There wen also a new dress, a comfortable jacket and a neat bat. "I have come to take you to ride," said Kitty, as she bounded Into thi room where Tom sat, and affectionately kissed the crippled girl. In a few minutes, arrayed In her new habiliments, Tom was ready for tht ride. "How will I get down stalr3?" Ton asked. Luke was called in, and that mysterj was solved. Luke took her up as if she were 1 baby and marched down stairs witt her, while she heard Kitty say but li all seemed to her like a dream, and Kitty's voice like a voice In a dream: "I'm sorry there's nothing pretty tc see at this time of the year. lt was so lovely out-doors six weeks ago."' Through Beach street they went, and then through Boyliiton, and the com mon was bolide them, with Us tree boughs traced against the November sky, and the sun Hhone on Frog Pond, and the dome of tho state house glit tered goldenly, and there were merry people walking about everywhere, with their Thanksgiving faces on: and at last Tom breathed a long, deep breath which was almost a sob, and cried: "Did you think there was nothing pretty to see today-thls day? Why 1 didn't know there was such a world!" The clocks had struck twelve when they left Hudson Btreet; the bells were ringing for one when they entered it again. Kitty ran lightly up stairs, followed by Luke, with Tom in his arms. Kitty threw open the door, and there was a tab!e spread with as good a Thanksgiving dinner as the heart could desire, with Tom's chair drawn up be aide ft. Luke let his light burden down. Kitty waited to hear neither thankf nor exclamations. She saw Tom'i brown eyes as they rested on the table, and that was enough. She bent for one moment over the bright face the cheeks which tho out-door air had painted red as the rose that had Just opened in honor of the day and left on the young, sweet, wistful lips a kiss, and then went silently down the stairs, leaving Tom and Tom's mother to their Thanksgiving.

StrenuooR Measures Being; Taken to Carry Ocit the Jteform Damunileti - KeaHurlne Mesmee from Btuila'a Ambasiudor No Interference. CoNSTAXTi.voi'i.K, Nov. 21. The at titude of the sultan has undergone a decided change since the other fleets began to join the Rritish fleet in Sal onicabayand there is no doubt that be has taken personal charge of tho work of reform in Armenia. It is now hoped that there will be no further blood shed except in ruttinf down the insurrections which have broken out against Turkish rule in different parts of Asia Minor. The sultan's evident dehire to meet tho views of the powers is thoroughly appreciated and has un doubtedly tided over a most difficult crisis in the East. There is no longer any talk of an armed intervention of the powers in the Turkish empire and if any diisplay of force is necessary upon the part of Europe, it will be in tho direction of Mipporting- the authority of the sultan as lireat Jirituin. Kuhmu and France are extremely desirous that or.lur should be promptly restored through out Asia Minor. As confirmatory of this, the following to the Armenian ( atholii'o at Tiflm, Kussiun Tntn.scau -casus from M.KeidorT, tho Russian ambassador here, is made public: "The Armenians of Constantinople arc now reassured. They tire thivut ened with no danger. In the provinces, however, there are re grettable conflicts which iu most cases were caused by the Armenians who were instigated by their revolu tionary commit tees. The result ii ter rible revenge upon the part of the Turks in the shape of horrible massa cres of Christians. The sultan lias sanctioned the sciiemu for reforms submied by by the great powers and the oliiciuls are now proceeding to carry it out. The leaders of t lie peo ple should persuade the people to re frain from revolutionary attempts, to abandon tho idle hope of foreign in tervention to put a stop to all disturb ances and to co-operate in the re-establishment of universal peace, in im proving tlie situation and in the intro duction of the new order of things." The report circulated yestercay that the sultan had been poisoned is abso lutely baseless. A dispatch to the Daily News from Dome declares that Austria proposed that the combined fleets of Russia and Austria ahoii id force the Dardanelles and that the joint armies should oc cupy Com tantiuople if necessary. To the propositions Russia declined to agree. FILIBUSTERS CAUCHT. Five of I'arljr from New York .trrratril on the t'ulmn ( oat. Washing ro.v, Nov. t'i. A long dis patch from Havana, dated yesterday, states that .Sunday a boat with five passengers and her crew arrived from Agucrcdos, bi. miles from Santiago de Cuba. They said they were Jamaica fishermen, but afterwards admitted that they were on their way to join the rebels and that they had thrown over their arms where thy were discovered. The passengers were arrested. Their names are: Fernando Alvarez, who had a commis sion of general from Venezuela; Fer nando Mettle. Francisco Zaldivar, Manuel llarotarcna, Leonardo Venet, all well known members of the CuOan colony of New York, who left that eity on the night of November 9 and boarded the steamer llorsa off tape JJarn-gat. The original p:irly was regarded as of more than ordinary importance, an it war commanded by lieneral Fran cisco Carillo, with Colonel Jose Aqnirre sccuiid in command. The leaders hail beeniu prison iii Havana after thu re bellion began, but hud been set five at the rcijuesi of the American consul at Havana, on t tie ground that they were American citizens. Carillo was tir.t apprehended ut Wilmington, liel., as one of t lie lilleyct llUbusterers cap tured there, but wa iie.iiilted. With A'ulrre he planned thi( lb.ria expedi tion, and t.xik command ol it. After the party bud sailed no secrecy was made of the personnel of the party. After lauding purt of t!u men the llorsa wus chased by u pnnisli war ship, and sought shelter at JamuR'a, where tho llritish authorities siezed her. THE MOTORMAN'S STORY lllurrril I.

Politician from all partsof the country are regis tered at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Most of them claim that their visit has no political .significance, and yet conferences between prominent leaders are frequent Conspicuous in the lobby were ex-IVesident Harrison, .Senator Sherman of Ohio, Senator Burrows of Michigan, Congressman (ialusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania, James S. Clarkson of Iowa, Congress man J. (!. Cannon of Illinois, ex -Senator Warner Miller of New York, Joseph 11. Manley of Maim-, Charles W. llackctt of Utica, Senator-elect Hobart Krutn of New York and .ex Mayor Oliver of Pittsburg. Senator liurrows, when asked his opinion in regard to the P.epublii-au Presidential candidates, said: "The woods are full of uble Republican can didates. I only wish it was hj wo could elect fifteen Presidents at once, in order to gratify tho ambition of everyone. A four year's term will not permit everyone to serve as president.'' Tlie Senator, referring to the Dem ocratic party, said be thought Presi dent Cleveland would be renominated. "What about the recognition of tlie belligerents in Cubit? Will it bo done by Congress?" was asked. '"It may be done, and if so it will give the utrnggling Cubans some ad vantage, but on the ollu r hand it will make this government responsible; to Spain io: all damage done to Spanish, commerce by vessels fitted out here, Resolutions of sympathy may be passed, but one tiling 1 believe will be f!one, and that is a declaration by Congress upholding the Monroe doc trine. The Monroe doctrine has lu-ver been acted upon by Congress, but it is not too late." Congressman (lahi-dia, A. Grow was decidedly iu favor of recognizing tho struggling Cubans as soon a possible, lie said h would not be surprised to sec a joiut, resolution passed soon after congress met, expressing sympathy for tuba anil asking that the patriots there be recognized as belligerents. Kx-Presitlent Harrison received a number of cullers. He will rema'.u several days longer. Senator Sherman said he was in the city on private business and would at tend to politics when he returned to Washington.

Tha infcrA pi elation .of cletftiou statisticf baa been detctoped into an interesting specialty by Frederick C Waite, a btutihtieia n expert in the Department of Agriculture, who last night read to i i ne iauonai nimisiicai Association i his fourth annual paper on the sub ject. He said: "Another tidal wave of disapproval has been recorded at the polls. Of the three great parties in the field two have received a very much smaller percentage of tiie total vote than in former years; while the third, the stay -at-home party, l.as made wonderful gains. For instauce, in Pennsylvania the vote of the Demo crats nas fallen to 2J,Ml from 4').'j;',:i in IsHH, that of the Republicans to 4:,',4:, from 5-.',0l in while the vote of the stay-at-home party lias in creased to CIO. uoo from only 70,'WMii 1H. In estimating the total vote aliens, foreigners with first papers, criminals, paupers, etc., have been de ducted from the male taxablcs, zi yeartt or over. "Iu New York the stay-at-home vote has increased from 75,0 JO in l9 ' to ISa.oo-i in H 4J.-,oOO in 194, aud 510,00 1 this year. Kven in Kentucky it has increased from 55,000 in lsH to 100,000 this year. In Massachusetts it has increased from d,00u in 1SSI to 100,000 in lStt.' and ;.';iO,0(iO this year.
