The chairs were nibbed to a new pol

All the hanging* were shaken and the
pictures were dusted.
Biggs tried to whistle as lie worked.
Mr. Phillip's library was next door
to the dining room, and Mr. Phillip
could hear everything. He heard Biggs
plaintive whistle, and a faint shade of
appreciation lightened the gloom of his
bitter face for a moment.
"That whistle comes hard—the poor
beggar!" he murmured.
On the afternoon preceding Thanks
giving Phillip Latimer put by his hooks
and went out among the holidaying
crowds on the streets. They jostled him
and peered some of them into his
his solemn face, curiously. Their faces
were not solemn. Now and then he met
a grandfather coming from the station,
with a following of eager-faced, staring
little country children —or a big son
with his old father and mother. Now
and then he met a house-mother out for
the last few accessories for her dinner

Thanksgiving day was clear and
brisk and sun flooded. There was Joy

In Phillip Latimer’s home there was
a make-believe Thanksgiving.

"Btldom has a Victoria cross been

gtanted today to Trooper Byrne of the
Twenty-third Lancers. He took part In
the magnificent charge of the ,'Mhi lan

tle of Otndurman. He had his right
arm shattered by a bullet und racelved
a terrible sword cut on the head, owing
to which he was the last to emerge
I’rom the melee. A* he wus approach

neaux. who had been unhorsed, coll
for assistance. The lieutenant. was
being attacked l>y hair u dozen Der
vishes. Without a moment's hesitation
the wounded trooper turned his horse
and rode, crippled «s h f ' was. straight
at the Dervishes, the charge knocking
two of them over. As a result of this
brave attack Byrne received another
severe spear wound, this time In the
breast. The heroic uct enabled the lieu
tenant to effect his escape, and, hav
ing saved the officer, the trooper, reel
ing in his saddle, galloped back to his
squadron. The spectacle of this sold
ier, crippled and practically helpless,
riding single-handed to attack six
Dervishes, back into the hell from
which he had Just emerged, to rescurs
his officer, was one of the bravest feats
of the entire Soudan campaign."
