Uoryrt,!. The Frank A Mun.tr Comp«n» By INA BREVOOT ROBERTS In imponee to n knock. Mrs. Harmon opened the studio door, to (Ind V\ 'me Wright on the threshold. May I como in and wait for him?” the visitor asked, when she told him her hnsbend yas not at home. "I came to say good-bye,•* he added as he removed his coat. -I , R ii for AnH .,.| ( . a tomorrow. I’m going home to spi nd Thanksgiving " "Thafs nice,” replied Mrs. Harmon, trying not to feel envy berauae Writ' t had won sui eess. had "painted his pie. ture.” while her huaband was tUll unknown na poor. "Yes,” the young artist said, making himself comfortable in an easy ilutir, "my home is up In New York end maybe I won't be glad to see the old place and the old folks again " 'T ran Imagine how glad,” relurned Mrs ilartnoc. "My home was in Nrw York alale, too.” She smiled as she epoke, but there v as a note In her voi>*e that made Wright give her a keen look. 1 here, now I ve gone and made you homesick!’' he cried, penitently. "How etupld of me. I fancied you were from New York city, but I might have known you were from farther up the elate; you’re ao hospitable." Mr». Harmon did not reply. She was looking out of a window, her eyes on (he Paris street, her thoughts three rhoueand ruilee away In a snug, well kept bouse at the edge of a green and white town. "Are your parents )!v1ng , ” Inquired Wright. Since the subject has been opexiwd he knew that her loneliness wonld be lessened by talking of her old home. "I don’t know," she answered hesitatingly. "You see, they did not apP ove of my marriage. Father objected to Harold because he was an artist. If he had painted houses or signs It would have been all right; but pictures. ’If you marry that painter,’ father told me, T never want to see you or to hear from you again.’ The next week I ran away to New Y'ork, married Harold, and wo came to Paris. I’ve been very happy ever since, but I get lonely at holiday times.” The conversation was interrupted by footstep* and the sound of whistling in the hall outside, and a moment later , Harold Harmon pushed the door open | with his foot Ilia arm* were full of bundles. ’’Helki!” he explained, as he caught | •Ight of the guest "Going to *taj and have tea with ua?“ Harmon wa* a good looking young fellow with a fine, frank face, and a habit of cheerful whistling, which did not always accord with his Inner mood. "Ve«," Wright said In answer to hi* i host's question, and told his news. Harmon did not even have to try not lo feel bitterness, although he knew himself to be is* as clever and as much In earnest as the other man. and as deserving ut success. \\ hen the meal was over the tw o rieti smoked and talked art. while Mrs. Harmon sat sewing, silent for the most pan. but occasionally asking InUlUi ent questions. Them was nothing to mar the evening’s enjoyment until •<>me one on (ho floor above began playing American college aongs on a piano. Harmon began whistling a gay French atr as soon as the music stopped. and his wife hummed the tune with him; but Wright could see that tltough she resolutely kept her voice steady, her hands worn trembling. "Good-bye. old man,” said Harmon, when the guest rose to go. "Take enre of yourself, and eat some Thanksgiving turkey for us. Perhaps the m xt year we ll l»e taking a run over to the old country ourselves " Mrs. Harmon hIiooK. hands without (peaking, hut with a look In bar eyej that haunted Wright during his vuy-

Bundled up In a sleigh, with snow whirling about hi- ears. Wright was a cheerful and content*-d man. although he still had ten miles to Havel; but when the horse stopped before a huge dilft ami refused to go furthe.r ho be pan to doubt the ways of the Providence that sent a snowstorm Just at Thanksgiving time. ’*\t e can’t never In the world get there tonight," remarked Hie driver. "Let’s try, anyway,” urged Wright. At the end of that ten miles were his borne, his parents and the woman he hail thought of so often during his gay, lonely year* In Paris. “ ‘Taint no use," relurned the man. “W»'d ba jest plumb craxy if w« w*nt ahead The tw-st thing w« can do is to make for the farmhouse and ask ’em to keep us over night. If wo get an early start tomorro* morning yoa'II be borne In plenty ot U<ue for dinner " Wright looked oxer to where lights shone across th* stsow. and then at the opaqae wblteueas in front of them. “1 gsess you ate right," he admitted The farmhouse was occupted by s gray haired coupls. who. it was eaay (o «e». lived Bve# of monotonous comfort When the events had been warms*] and ted the three around the firs in the “best room." tbs old couple Ha iattingt to the young man's easy, pleas ant balk •Jto you're an artlat." said the host, thoughtfully "I used to think paintin' pictures wasn’t much of a hmduosr, but I’xs kind •’ ubungad my toiad. 1

"I wonder what you are thinking." said the old lady, suddenly. She had been watching the artist’s face. She liked Wright fer his pleasant blue eyes, his kindly, polished manner and his respect for ag*\ Wright roused himself with n start. “I was thinking of a friend of mine, an artis; who is in Parts struggling for a foothold, ami of bis wife particularly of his u.fe. nnd Ihe look In her eyes when 1 told her I was coining home to spend Thanksgiving. She's pretty lonely over ihcie, but she’s a fine, plucky little woman, and never lets her husband suspect that she •doesn't find a studio far superior to a house as a place to live In.” "What’s a studio like?" inquired his hostess. Wynne described Harmon's studio, with its north skylight, Its curtail’.* and cushions of oriental stuffs and thu divan nnd meager housekeeping appointments, shut off from view by a handsome screen. Hud Its walls that were rapidly being covered with unsold pictures. It was a far cry from that studio to the prim, stately room In which he sal. After their guest bad rone up stairs the old couple stayed a while by the fire. The old man broke a long silence by anying in a hesitating way: "Mother, s’posin’ that was Helen*” During the days that followed Wright thought little of his entertainers or the Harmons, but both were recalled to his mind by a letter. The epistle was wrltU n in a cramped hand, and proved to he from his host at the farmhouse: "Dear Sir: After you left mother and I got talking about the young folks off In Pails, and the upshot was that we packed a bo:; for them, which we aend to you r.s we do not know their address. Will you please forward the box? I send you a check to defray expenses. Tell them tt is from two old people who wish them well. ’’Wife and I trust this will find you In good health, as It leaves us. "Your obedient servant, "SAMUEL OSGOOD’’

It was the Harmons’ day at home, but the afternoon w as rainy and no one called. Mrs Harmon, looking a winsome hostess tn e house dress she iuul i. ahe herself, wandered about the studio In a fit of Idleness that was rare Indeed with her, In the intervals between putting the lettle on to boil and taking it off again. Her husband was stretched out on the divan. He was passing through one of those periods of diseonragement that beset every artist, when painting ts impossible and inspiration seems to have gone forevor. Neither of the pair felt Inclined to talk, and the silence was broken only by the licking of the clock and the drip of the rain outside. The f.rriral of a mysterious box proved a welcome diversion. It was from America, so much they could see from the outside: but who had sent it, or what it contained they could only guess. When It w as opened Mrs. Harmon knelt on the rug and began tho Intel eating task of investigation. "Hal,” she eried w hen she had taken out a quantity of «\eelslor, "it’a filled with canned fruit and Jelly.” yiie lifted out a glass of i ihy tinted Jelly, and held It up to the light: then dived into the box again and brought forth a Jar of peaches. "Just think. HnJ, these are from home,” she said softly. "1 wonder who could have sent them?" As her husband sriw her kneeling tn the center of a widening circle of Jars nnd glas.ies Ills thoughts went back to the days before their marriage. Ho hud often sc :i the kitchen table in he r old home : lied with Just such Jars and glasses wl u he had sat ner.r the open door on summer evenings watching Helen as s' put eterylhlng in order for the nlgf-l. The contrast between thn; home at d the one he had been able to give 1,- struck him with a nuwr and stlnglhg force. For the first time, perhaps, he realized what it means to ft woman to leave home and and kindred and follow the fortunes of her husband. His reflections were Interrupted by the arrival of Wright’s letter of explanation, which should have come beforu the box, but hud been delayed. "The dear old souls!’’ exclaimed Mrs. Hurtaon, as she went back to her unpa< king, after lookicg over her husband’s shoulder while be read the letter. "There are six cans of white cherries and three of everything else; and while cherries are my favorite*.” Her husband scarcely heard. H« was at his ea«el, sketching the outlines of a pu ture with bold sure strokes An hour passed - two. and he was still at work. It was not until the light was mo uncertain that 1* could no longer see to paint that he laid down his brush and vent over to help his wife rompone her latter of thanks, s letter that was st nt In Wrighi's care, and which throe days later went down into U>s ocean wLh a wrecked steamer.

It was a spring day in Naw Y’ork

r fth atenne was gsy with smiling. wtii d-t-ssod people, silver mounted k... :.< os shone in the sunlight, ami the a'r v. ,.g fragrant with the Oder of countless flowers. The art gallery wa* well filled when Mr. Osgood and hi* wife entered, j-fler wandering aimlessly about for a time the old eoupl# siated them* selves in s quiet corner. "It wa* nice of Mr. Wright to send us the tickets, but I 'most -wish we hadn’t come,” sighed Mrs. Osgood. ”1 feel out ot place among all these fine people." "Y ou’re Just as fine as any of them.” declared her husband. He was looking. not at the antiquated mantle nor the quiet bonnet, but iilto the face between, a face that wa* full of the kindliness that is never out of farhlon. “Mr. WrightTl be here, likely,” the old man continued, "and then we won’t feel so lonesome. My what ft lot of pictures. Some of ’em look Just liko places on the farm, and some don’t look like no spot the I-ord ever made.” Presently they caught a gMmp*e of Wrtcht, surrounded by a litlle group of people who all seemed eager to talk with him. When he saw the old couple he left the other* and came towards them with his hand out. "How- do you do?" he said. “Shall we walk through the rooms? There’s one picture here 1 am particularly anxious to show you. I think you'll be surprised and pleased." In the next room Wright paused and stepped a little to one side to watch the effect of the picture upon his guest*. The painting showed Ihe Interior of an artistic but somewhat bare studio. On the floor before a wooden box a woman knelt in the center ef a sea of preserve jars Her gingham apron worn over a house dress that had something French and fetching about it gave a touch of simple color to the picture. The light from a window at one aide of the studio brought the woman’* pleased, wistful face into bold relief. "I bear that picture has brought the artist fame and fortune," remarked one of the bystanders to Wright. ’’What does he call it?" "It is named 'A Box FTom Home.’ “ returned Wright. He was studying the fares of the old couple and telling himself that he had been mistaken in supposing that they would appre elate the sentiment of the picture. They were gazing at It almost stupidly, with their bands on the velvet railing. "The artist and his wife arrive today,” Wright said to the man beside him. “I am going from here to the strainer lo meet them.” The old man turned shout squr.reiy so that he faced Wright. "You say she la-—they lire coming today?” he exclaimed In a lone of wonder. ’’Today'”’ echoed the old lady in a voice that trembled And Wright knew that they understood.

GAS LIGHTERS. The new cook was helping he" mistress lo prepare dinner. Ail went well until the macaroni was brought out. The cook loo’ed v 1th surprise ns she beheld the lour: while sti< ke. But when they weic c art fully p.'aced in water she gave a choking gnsp "Did you say, missus,” she s'.id In sn awed voice ’That you were go!ng lo eat that?” "Yes, Jane.” w aa the reply, "that It what I intended to d . Uu’ >ou >eem surprised. Ha\e you never seen macaroni cooked before?" "No. ma’am,’ answered the cook, ”1 ain’t. The List place I was ut they always ust-d them things lo light the gas with.”

CHICKEN HF.AKTKn MEN. When Dri'.Hti Out Each Had His l*«rticulur \ version. “I could hear the bouo In his wrist snap,’’ said a man w ho was describing au accident to a group of men. "Oh, cut it out, for heaven's sake'” called out one of the group. He was a big fellow, but he was as white at, a sheet. The speaker laughed leeringly. ’’I didn’t know you were sex chickenhearted,” he said The big man began to explain. "I'm not what you would call a timid sort of person, but the mention of any Injury to the wrist always turns me faint. I can stand seeing blood flow or hear thrilling talcs of broken limbs and smashed heads, but 1 can’t stand any wrist stories. 1 don’t know the reason. It seems tc* be merely a matter of temperament.” A quiet little man came to the rescue. “I know Just what you mean.” he said. “Y'ou're not tue only one who has a peculiar aversion to a certain sort of injury. Now, my particular aversion is on account of trouble with the eyes. Immediately I begin to blink and wink and my eyes smart until I can't stand It. I'd rather hear an account of a brutal murder than any description of I an eye disease.” i The man who had jeered at the big man had been thinking. "I have nne of those aversions, too, now I come to think of It.” he *aid. "It is accounts of paralytic shocks to which I particularly object. I feel myself growing numb all over when I hear such tales and I always make an excuse to get away as soon as possible.” His remark was a signal for a universal confession. One acknowledged that the sight of blood gave him a sensation of extreme nausea; another said that reading or hearing of a fracture of the skull gave him “a gone feeling at his stomach”; and another said he shivered so his teeth chattered every time he heard an account of an operation for appendicitis. The b!g man was triumphant. "Well, I’m not such a big baby after all.” he said. j REMARKABLE PADDLE V/ H EEL. , New Devic* Feather* »h* Water Llk* sn Oarsman's Blade. An automatic feathering wheel for n paddle-driven steamboat has been Invented and perfected by \Y. N. Cruchon of Seattle, who has patented the Invention. The new wheel has an automatic tilting rontrlvance, so that the buckets enter and leave the water without depressing or llft'ng it In the operation. The new buckets arc shaped corresponding to a spoon oar, which enables them to exert a greater force In propelling the vessel. By means of lateral wings on the outer edge they are able to enter Ihe water with the least resistance and held by a slop pin w hile the pressure is exerted. when an automatic spring releases them and they assume their former In-operalive position. The concave form of the bucket erestes greater pressure against the water. The position of the buckets while out of the water snd moving concentric with the wheel shaft edgewise through Ihe air dlininl -hes air resistance. The manner in which tho buckets enter the water edgewise avoids the loss of power Involved In the downward pressure of the water.

FOR DRINKING PURPOSES. ”\v hat uid you steal ibis bathtub for, anyhow'.'” demanded Magistrate Mi llowuey in the local polire court of Buggy Johnson, a dissipated and bedraggled ne. ro, haled before the hur, charged with tho iheft of the article by Amfir.da Jackson, his landlady. Ah done to k it fo' drinkln’ puppo! os, yo' honah," answered Buddy. ' You don’t moan to toll me you stole a bathtub so you could drink out of It?" demanded the magistrate. “Oh, no, yo' honah. Ah means ah done took do bat’tab and Bold it bo’s lo get do money ter buy gin wid.” explained Buddy. "Six monf iis,” announced the magls trato, with a palabls choke in ravlrniut ot a laugh.

A STRANGER HIMSELF. Two Irishmen had to start work at five o’clock in the morning. During | the night, however, their clock stopped, and, getting up very early next morning, they started fer their work. "We needn't go now,” said Fat, "for there’s the sun up.” ‘'Tbat'n not tho sun,” said Mick. ”U’« the moon.” Juat then they met a tramp coming along the road. Tf you plaze." said Pat, “will you tell us Is that the aun or the moon?" “I don't know," said the tramp. ’T'm only a stranger here myself."

Odd Manners in Which They Display Their Affection. I have read somewhere a statement that the anthropoid apes prefer our company to that of their fellow monkeys of lower degree, and I saw it proved once In Calcutta, sav* a writer in "Ornithological and Other Oddities.” The late W. Rutledge, for many years the leading animal dealer there, and a mine of natural history information, had a young one ir. his yard, and at my request opened Its cage one day to let It choose its society, when, quite disregarding the other monkeys, it immediately name over to him and climbed into hit lap. A fair sized female he had at *he Calcutta zoo also was a most affectionate creature. When 1 paid a visit to her she would always put her arm affectionately around my neck, and while being caressed and played with would drop any food offered by other visitors. But I think It was on my very first introduction to the oraug Hint Hie hidden liumanitv of the creature most impressed me. This was many years ago, when Abraham Bartlett was at the London zoo. He gave rue a private Interview with a little orang which had just arrived. The first thing the little Imp did was to climb on my knee, take off my hat and put tt on his own head, after which It proceeded gravely to pinch one of tho superintendent's e; ellds. In short, tt examined us with a scientific curiosity which in a lower animal was decidedly impressive. This little man of the woods couhl not have chosen a more striking way of claiming kinship so often denied. To Move Greenwich Observatory. The Greenwich observatory will have to be moved.

Pet Dogs of Ancient Egypt. There Is nothing new under th* sun. and the grave* of old Egypt make this fact very dear to us.

And these dogs were pampered animals, dogs whose decayed teeth mark the drawing room pet. fed on all sorts of unwholesome dainties.—Hume Notes.
