"Its goin to le such a pretty day," she Vegan, "that there'll be a good turn out at church. 1 s'pose I might 11s well put on the turkey afore we start." "I hain't curtly.

"I'm sure. Sam don't mean to be un grateful," said Mrs. Ware, ever ready to defend their absent boy. "You was alius hard on Sam, lxscausc he ivas rather wild. I5ut I have faith in Sam yit, 'nd I feel to thank the Lord for givin u.s sech a boy." "That's the way with you women," KTtinted Silas. "The wuss a boy gits to lc, the more you stick up for him. And 's if this wan't enough, the best steer on the place must lav down and die, just when I was a needin' him to haul in the fodder. Thar hain't his inn tcli in the country." "Oh well, father, you said you was goin' to make leef out'n both the yoke. We'll get the fodder hauled somehow. Let us go to church and do our part. The Lord'll be sure to do h's'n any how." "Go 3'oursvlf, if you want to, Maria, but don't lother me about thankin' the Lord for what He hain't done, and from what 1 can sec hain't goin' to do nuther." Silas got up as he spoke, put away his pijie aud went into the sitting-room. He picked up the county paper and lay down upon a lounge by the window. Though he ignored attending church, he did not feel like going out to work, but grumbled himself into some sort of interest over the market reports. The sound of Mrs. Ware, t her work in the kitchen, mingled softly with the gen tler flow his reveries soon fell into. lie felt sleep3". j'ct lie did not wish to sleep. It seemed as if he lay a long while wondering what would happen noxL Then he rose, put on his hat and went out doors. The sky was overclouded and a cold wind was blowing. The promise of a bright day had not been kept He wandered slowly over the farm, notic ing the stones, the stumps, the ragged fences and the general poverty of the soil. He felt more than ever what an il-used man he was. Nothing good could he see in anything. "And yet Maria thinks we ought to Iks thankful. That's about all the sense a woman has." On the way back to the house he passed through the barn. The mate to the dead steer looked at him mildly, from over the manger. "I'll make sure of you ter-morrer," grumbled Silas. "You'll have to make beef, whether you're fat or not. Hit don't do to risk too many chances these hard times." He went through the woodshed and into the kitchen. Everything was in order, yet the house seemed strangelj' silent within, though outside the wind mourned dolefully. In the kitchen, the fire had gone down, though the tea kettle was on, and in the cooling oven lay the Thanksgiving turkey. "Plague take it!" exclaimed Silas, after examining into the state of the Till: OKI) FOLKS HKNT OVEIt THK I.KTTKK. culinary affairs. "Ef Maria hain't got to be as shiftless as the rest." He pushed on into the sitting-room, charged with a connubial reprimand Hut as he opened the door, he stumbled against something soft and yielding, yet which sent an unaecouutable shiver from his feet to the very crown of his head. Ho looked down. It was a wom an's recumbent form. With a great fear at his heart he bent down, turned the pale, white face to the light, Then staggered back, trembling in every limb, while cold drops stood out upon his forehead. "You Maria?" he gasped, as with a sudden wild hope he shook the still form violently. "Wake up, Maria. The idea of you agoin' to sleep and let ting the turkey get cold in the oven " No response. The figure that had worn itself out working for him lay ns nerveless in his arms as a block of stone. The closed eyes, tho purple lips, tho drawn, white features, told their terrible story. His wife was dead - dead ami he had parted from her not two hours before, with selfish grumblings upon his lips. Silas Ware rose to his full height, and uttering a hoarse, inarticulate cry. fell back upon the lounge from which he had recently risen. Thanksgiving day! At breakfast he thought himself an ill used and an unfortunate man. "Oh. God! Oh, God!" he moaned "What would I not give to have it all back?" All what? What but Maria his wife, the faithful companion of the toils, the joys and the sorrows of thirty years! What did he care now for all other troubles and 1 losses? They were invisible leneath the overwhelming cloud of this one great loss. Without her nothing would be good. With her, all other trials were trivial, lie knew it now; he re alized it m every agonizing quiver, as his heart recognized and felt its utter and hopeless loneliness. And even this was not the worst. If he had parted from her with a smile instead of a frown in kindness rather than with reproach, the agony of sepa ration might be blunted a little. Hut in the coming years he must go down to meet old age alone, the memory of his harshness would ever be stinging. "If I had only known." he cried, dragging himself upon his knees to her side once more: "if I had only known!" Known what? If he had only known how great his blessings were, in the possession of his true, tender, patient, faithful wife! Hut he selfishly declined to know; and now the curse of his eter nal deprivation must wither him for ever. "1 cannot stand it!" he faltered brokenly. "Merciful God! How can I stand it? JSo. no! 1 will not! Take anything else. Lord. Take cattle, land take money and home take children! Thou hast them all but one, and he don't seem lo care no, Sam hain't a-carin for us, no more b nt spare me my wife my wife my wife " "Why, Silas! What on farth wake up, father! You've about frightened me to death with your moanin's and takin's on!" Some onewas shaking him vigorous ly as Silas opened his eyes. A gleam of young sunlight shot into them through the window, and blinded him for an instant. Then. he recognized the well-worn dress, the dear, bent, toil-worn figure.- ' "Maria!" he fairly shouted. "Then you're not dead after all?" "No. fatherl Who said I was? The doughnuts surely must have disagreed with ye, for I heard ye when I was basting the turkey" "Then the kitchen fire hain't gone out?" interrupted Silas in a dazed sort of way, yet beginning to tremble anew. - "Why no.

And we'll up and go to church, Maria. I'm just overflowin' with thankfulness, 'nd it's got to find some sort o' way to get out. Then we'll write a letter to Sam. We'll tell him we hain't forgot our boy, if he forgiu us " "Letter for Silas Ware." called out a ncighlior from the road. Farmer Ware went out and returned directly with a well padded envelope bearing a Mon tana postmarlc "I sivon!" exclaimed Silas, tearing it open, "ef it hain't from our Sam. 1 dunno who else it can be" A lithographed square of paper fell to the floor, as the two old people bent over the letter "Uead it, Maria," said Fanner Ware. "Seems like my eyes are failiu' faster 'n ever " Hut the mother's eyes too, were moist. Spectacles, however, were found, and from the cramped lines, Sam's good wishes and loving expres sions were slowly diciphered. "Says he's sent us one hundred dol lars," said Silas. " 'nd thar it is on the floor. 'Nd he's comin home Christ mav Mother, mother! What have I done to desarve all this? Hut it's all long of your goodness, Maria. And now we'll fix up, 'ud go to church." Half an hour later they were walk ing hand and hand across the fields to wards the little meeting-house. "Hit ain't sech a pore looking farm, after all," said Farmer Ware, looking about. Mother Ware affectionately pressed his arm. William I. Urown, in S'aukee Hlade. DOES NOT GIVE THANKS. Let l' Hope Tlirre Are few Such In the ltnd.

LOOKS CRITICAL. AMalrs in llrazil Axumliif; Vrrr Critical Mimpo Losno.v, Nov. '21. The Exchange Tel egraph Co. has further advices from Kio j tie Janeiro, but no indication is given ' as to how the dispatches escaped sup- ! pression by tho censorship. According to the Exchange Co. the condition of j affairs throughout Hrazil is evidently I growing more critical. Everywhere discontent and dissatisfaction with the present regime arc growing more pro nounced. Instead of tranquility and O acquicscnce in Fonseca's assumption of , ,. . dictatorial power, there is a vigorous opposition and increasing agitation. In general terms the political condi tion of the country is described as close ly bordering on anarchy. Meanwhile the dictator's government continues its policy of suppressing news and endeav oring in this way to prevent one part of the country from kuowing what is going on at its center, and so preveut I ing disaffection. In spite of the efforts of the government to reduce Kio , , , . ... . , Grande do Sul to oliedienco by force o . ,, J . f arms or w win us auctriancc uy arms or to win its allegiance by con cessions, it is generally admitted at Kio do Janeiro that this state will ad here to its attitude of opposition to tho dictator. The Exchange Telegraph company's dispatch further declares that Fon seca's death is probable at any moment Though it is known that Fonsecn has been ill, this statement is ,t Liint.nLnM in mtft9 In .l.,ttli lit ' nauraj causes. It is taken to mean that there is extreme danger of his as- J sassiuation or of a suddcti and power- I ful uprising of tho incensed opposition I which will overthrow the present regime and mnkc away with its head.
