He n^ard from Queenie occasionally, and at last that she had gone east to lire. How far east or what part ot the east, he did not know, and was too proud to ask. She was lost to him forever, and he grew melancholy. He went west, to be as far from her as possible, and en­ gaged in business at a frontier town, with cowboys and ranchmen for his as­ sociates. Then came the mutterings of war with Spain. He had always laved the weak, and sprang to the first call to arms. Rough riders were wanted, and he had learned to mount the wildest broncho. He enlisted, and hurried oS to the front At Santiago he landed, and In the march to the city was In the first skirmish. Then came that noble charge on San Juan hin. He led the charge amid dust and heat fighting like a mad mail until struck down, faint and bleeding, he lay on mother earth to die. "Queenie, Queenie, oh, my long-lost loved one, shall I never see yon more?" he was heard to murmur, as borne away from the field. Somehow there was something In this piteous cry Which touched the hearts of those who it A aewwaper .man whfi w» "WILL YOU DANCE WITH ME?** was heard to exclaim with his last breath: 'Queenie, Queenie, oh, my long-lost loved one!' No doubt tills piteous appeal wrung from a noble heart was to some faithless sweet­ heart who had deserted him years be­ fore." » This simple little paragraph had been copied and recopied, and dis­ cussed, and made the theme .tor count­ less stories and ballads. But Jack, who uttered it didn't die. He lived to return to America* was honorably discharged, and resolved 10 pass another Thanksgiving in the old neighborhood where his young days had been spent So he returned, after an absence of nearly ten years, and was at the house of his lather on this evening, gazing sadly Into the fire which seemed to reflect his own ach­ ing heart. What was life to him now? That chief charm, that only tight to his soul, had gone out, leaving 4H gloom and darkness. He was like an old man. His hair, once dark as the raven's wing, showed traces of silver In it, and his face, so handsome, clear and fresh, now had the lines of care upon it Though he sometimes smiled and as­ sumed an appearance of gayety, his mother knew that his heart was sad. But that mother had a .hope that happiness would yet dawn on her son. She had a piece of intelligence she had not broken to him. Queenie Gra­ ham, after an absence of ten years, had returned to visit an aunt There was to be a great Thanksgiv­ ing' party at -ack's grandmother's, the oldest lady in the neighborhood, at which she was to invite all the young folks, lor "Grandma Goodwin" took great pleasure in young people. Queenie would no doubt be there, and she determined that Jack should meet her. The mother knew that her son's pride would keep him away If he knew Queenie was to be there, so she kept that surprise a secret from him. She little knew how loirs had hum­ bled Jack's pride. In the vest pocket of the veteran, he' carried the self same ring which Queenie had thrust back on him ten years before. It was next his heart when he stormed San Juan hill, and he hoped if he was, slain the bullet would pass within the golden circle of his youthful love, and that he might die with her name on his lips. But fate destined Jack to live. He was once more home, among friends who had crowded about to hear him tell of the wild charge and the storm of death. Would he go to grandmother's next day to the Thanksgiving dinner; Yes, he would. The mother was happy. : The old carriage was loaded with jolly young folks and middle-aged peo­ ple, and among them the veteran of San Juan. Grandma's table groaned with plen­ ty; goose and turkey, pies and can­ dies, ciaer, nuts and apples in abun­ dance. But what was far more precious to the ex-rough rider was a radiant face he had loved so long before. He thought she had suffered as well as he. They were too much surprised at meeting that neither would tell what emotions were being stirred in the other's heart Queenie's beauty was matured and seemed more heightened by time. She was far more lovely than before. Aft­ er the first moment's shock of surprise pride assumed control, and placed each other oh the guard. They longeu to break the ice, but neither wanted to make the advance. After the feasting was over the happy group assembled in the great parlor to talk over pleasant reminis­ cences or indulge m a quiet tete-a- tete. Then someone, may pllf fcrlhs In­ crease. said: "I brought my violin. I will play and call off; let us have a dance to­ night."

"Yes," he answered. Then he took her -land. It trembled, and her azure eyes grew dim. "Balance all." It was several minutes before either oquld speak. The sweet-tuned violin, accompanied by the piano, poured forth such soul- stirring music as can be found only In that precious old air, "Haste to the Wedding." He was about to speak when the musician "calling off" shouted: "Gents to places--all promenade." It gave him an opportunity to re­ cover himself, and when next they glided across the room he whispered: "Say, Queenie, will you keep that old promise you made long ago?" She looked up at him, smiling through her tears. Ten years of misery and suffering had passed since he. held that hand. Oh, it was reward for all that suffer­ ing!

Crime and Cold Weatbt** When cold weather begins street robberies suddenly become frequent Either there is an influx of hard eases from the country to the city when the life of the tramp becomes chilly and disagreeable, or the shorter days give more hours to footpads in which to work. It so happens that nearly every year there is abput this time what Is popularly called an "epidemic" or "carnival of crime." Men and women are stopped on the streets and forced by threats of violence to give up their property. The community takes alarm, asserts that there never was so much crime before, and denounce the BQlie<* force for Its Inefficiency. K ? Paul -Tail*for Repair*.

Insects destroy the leaves and bark, and the pavements coming so close to the trees keep out the moisture which is absolutely nec­ essary to the life of the trees, and keep in the poisonous gases from the gas and sewer pipes. More than 20 per cent of these trees, which have been the pride of New Haven for two cen­ turies, have died in the last fifteen years, or else are so damaged now that their early death is certain. For ten years the subject has been causing serious concern in the city, yet nothing positive has yet been done looking to the certain preservation of these elms.

It Is the part of the good manage­ ment of a good housewife to have something on hand for emergencies. In colonial days, when cold weather came, a portion of the regular duty of the housekeeper was to prepare mince meat, head cheese, fruit cake, cookies, jumbles and the like, and to store them for safe keeping in huge stone pots, with layers of buttered paper between. These articles were very convenient in emergencies and the only wonder Is that the present-day woman does not provide herself with a similar stock. The propinquity of the bake shop and the traveling baker's wagon have unquestionably had much to do with this change in the methods of house­ keeping. Besides this, the making ot some old-fashioned cakes is practically a lost art Very few cooks can make good jumbles and the sugar cookie, which is the delight of the youngster, and is perfectly harmless when prop­ erly put together, is rarely found in the average household. A recipe for sugar cookies fished out of an old recipe book will be appropriate to the season and the finished product will be highly appreciated by children of all stages of growth.

This little southern Michi­ gan hamlet has been noted for its piety as well as its politics. Its re­ ligion apparently is Baptist In one of his meetings there Congressman Smith promised his audience that if Woodstock went for him he would join the church hy Immersion. It Is probable he never dreamed that he would be called upon to redeem his promise, as Woodstock was supposed to be hopelessly against his party. When the votes were counted Smith was found to have 37 plurality. Wood­ stock has unanimously and enthusias­ tically extended the right hand j>f fel­ lowship to Brother Smith. A wlega- tion of the villagers has waited upon him and notified him they expect him to keep his promise, and he has in­ formed them he will do so with the single condition that the interesting event shall not take place until warm­ er weather arrives. In anticipation of his immersion the ladles of the vil­ lage are making him a handsome bap­ tismal robe, and undoubtedly great numbers of the population of his dis­ trict will be in attendance to congrat­ ulate him when he enters the fold. * Main*'* "Record Breaker.
