cried.
An elderly woman entered the room.
She had » small, pate withered lace; a
kind face, though, pleasant, gentle.
She was dressed in a worn, dark gown.
The net fiehu, crossed over her slender
shoulders, was clasped by “ an old-lash
ioned medallion.
“To-morrow will be Thanksgiving
eve,” she said; “I wished to know if i
might prepare for the day after.”
An originally handsome apartment,
this in which the .old man sat, and
had been handsomely furnished. Now
both the room and its belongings bore
the mark of creeping poverty, or ex
treme penuriousneas. The master of the
house, seated by the center taole, seem ; i
to share the character of the room. He,
too, had-been handsome once. Now
be was expressive only of a^c and in¬
digence, from the threadbare collar of
his limp dressuag-gowu to the tips of his
thin and shabby siipp ers.
“Prepare what?” he growled.
“Why a turkey, sir; or a pic, or—or
a bit of cranberry -sauce, sir—”
He looked so fierce, her words died in
her throat.
“Turkey! And where do you sup¬
pose I can get the money to spend oa
turkey l And pie! To make us all sick,
and bring doctors and doctors’ bills
down on met Aud,” with a sniff of
disgust, “cranberry sauce—-the skinny
stuff! No, Mrs. Dotty, A bit of bacon
aud some bread will bs good enough for
poor folks like us— good enough.”
His housekeeper, for that was the un¬
enviable position Mrs. Dotty occupied in
Godfrey Kirke’s household, resolved to
make one last, appeal.

“But I thought perhaps ou account of

“The etiild—the child!” he repeated,

Indignation made Mrs. Dotty quite
bold for once.
“She’Syour own granddaughter, Sir.

aud leave me her girl? Eh? She’s an
expense, l tell you; that’* all. An ex
penset” ^2t»£!2JS.SZ!Z
a*, with a bang that was downright dis
respectful, she slammed the door behind
her.
“You—you, Miss Bessie!”
She started, as she looked up, aud saw
Bessie Barrett standing so near her. She
was a slim, brown-haired little thing, of
about seventeen. She was clad in an ill
made gown of coarse maroon cashmere.
Her eyes were large, gray, just now very
sorrowful. Her lashes aud brows were
quite black. The delicate features had a
pinched took, aud the pretty lips were
paler than should be the lips of one
young.
“Yes; sad I— heard.”
“Oh, don't—don't tniad, dear!" said
Mrs. Dotty, soothingly, patting » hand
that looked like wrinkled ivory on
girl’s arm. “He is jaw* a cross, soured,
lonely old man.”
‘ ‘f do mind ?” Bessie passionately cried.
“Oh, I do! I shaVt stay here! I sha’u’t
be an expense to him any longer. I will
go away somewhere!"
She broke down in h fit of bitter
weeping.
“Now, Msss Bessie, dear, you mustn’t
cry that way; you really raurtn’t. I
loved your mother before you, and I love
you.”
But the poor, little, old comforter was
almost crying herself.
Years before, the Kirkes were the
people of wealth and position iu that
part of the country. But one trouble
after another had come upon the house.
First, the wife of the master died.
Maud, the daughter, married a man
whose only crime was poverty. He was
a frail, scholarly mao, quite unfitted for
a tierce struggle against adverse fortune.
He fell ill and died. A year later his
wife followed him, leaving their child
to its grandfather, Godfrey Ivirke, To
the latter had come the final blow when
his only son Robert, his hope and pride,
had run away to sea. Then in the
house, which since the death of the mis¬
tress had been a cheerless and dreary
place, began a rigid reign of miserliness
and consequent misery.
Bessie broke from her friend and ran
upstairs and into her own little bare
room. There was no tire in the grate,
though the day was cold with the pene¬
trating damp of a wind from oil the
ocean. She went to the window and
stood there looking out across the flat
brown marshes, to where the waters
tossed, greenish and turbulent,
i “A horrid day,” she said, with a
shiver, “but it can’t be worse out than
in.”
She put oa a short old Aat rah an
i jacket, a tittle felt hat and a pair of
much-mended cloth gloves. Then she
went quickly down aud out.
The dusk, the dreary November dusk.
was filling the room bis when the oid man,
plodding over accounts, laid down
bi* pencil and rang the bell. Mrs.
Dotty responded. Mr. Kirke kept bat
one other servant (if Mrs. Dotty could
correctly oe termed a servant), and she
absolutely refused to enter the protest
Mg presence of her master.
‘.‘Tea!”
“Yes, sir.”
The meek housekeeper withdrew.
Ten rah:utea later she brought in a tray
which were tea, bread, butter, two
mips, two saucers and two plates. Mr.
Kirke poured out his tea, shook a little
of the sugar be was about to use back in
the old silver bowl, added carefully a
low drops milk and cut a slice:of
bread.
“Butter has gone up three cents in the
last week,” he said. “I can’t afford to
use butter.”
So he munched his bread dry, with a
sense of exaltation ia his self-imposed
penaace. He would not open the
poorhouse-door for himself by using but
i ter, But, somehow, the rank tea tasted
ranker than usual. Surely the bread
I was sour. And the gloom outside the
i small circle that the lamplight illumined
j seemed singularly dense, What was
wrocgl What was missing? Vf hat was
different? He paused, his hand falling
by hi* side. The child-—as he and Mrs.
Dotty had always called her—the child
was sot here. She used to slip in m
quietly, take her seat, and when her
meager supper was over, glide away just
as softly. Yes, little as he noticed her,
she was generally there. He rang the
bell sharply.
“Where is she!” he asked Mrs. Dotty,
when she popped iu her mild old head.
There was no need to particularize, Mrs.
Dotty cast a swift, searching Look
arourd.
“Isn't she here?”
Without waiting for a reply, she
turned and ran up the stairs to Bessie’s
room. Thera she knocked. No
answer. She opened the door, went iu.
The room was empty.
Hastily she descended the stairs.
“Shs is not in, sir.”
“Where is she?” , :
“I don’t know, sir.”
Impudently Godfrey Kirke pushed his
chair back from the table.
“You ought to know; it’s your busi¬
ness to know. But it doesn’t matter-
it doesn't matter ia the least.”
Down to Hanna in the kitchen went
Mrs. Dotty,
“Did you see Miss Bessie?”
“Yes’ll). Passin' westward a couple
of hours ag>~—yes’m. ’’
Mrs. Dotty breathed a relieved sigh.

About ten o'clock Mr. Kirke’s bell
«!«“ tingled out. Again Mrs. Dotty
j appeared before him.
“Has the child come in 1”
“No, sir.”
I “Do you know why she went out?”
“Well, speak up.”
“ Shu overheard our conversation to

“What of it?”
“Nothing of it,” with a very angry
flasb from very faded eyes, “except that
she vowed she would be an expense to
you no longer.”

“Well, grimly, “I hope she won’t!”
The child had a sulky fit. She was
probably at the house of some neighbor.
She would return when her tantrum had

“Hark!” said Godfrey ivirke, holding

‘‘Ask him if he has seen her?”
Mrs. Dotty went into the ball. Almost
instantly she returned.
“He has. not.. He says there is the
body of a fating woman at the town

“What!”
Godfrey Kirke leaped from his chair.
“He says that the body of a young girl
was found in the East Branch to-day.”

when his devoted wife had drooped ami

those lonely hours the whole relentless
truth dawned upon him, as such truths
will dawn, in most bitter brillianoe. He
dropped hi* bead on his hands with a
groan.
He looked around the dim, shabby
room. He lo^cd at the dying fire in
the grate, lie wondered of what use
would he to him now his twenty.thou
sand in bonds, his eight hundred acres
of meadow laud, the money he had out

what was the use of wishing now? There
could be but one satisfactory answer to
all bis set!-condemnation. Ashot, from
the revolver iu the drawer yonder,that lie
had always kept ia readiness for possible
burglars. H e rose. He moved toward
the table. His figure cast a fantastic
shadow on the wall. The tears were
streaming down his cheeks. There
