It has helped to nulify and stunt the'inerchants interest' in community life, and instead of being a mighty influence for good in society, they become its slave. Prom the owner of the store down to the boy, intelligence, quick action and strict integrity are needed at every turn. If you want to get the best out of the boys and girls behind our counters, every- thing should be done to elevate the busi- ness.

Thi e was the telegram that Mr. Yates wrote a week before Thanksgiv- ing. jinit couldn't bell It down to ten words, mamma," he said to his wife fie he read It 'But the time's come when we can be a little lavish, now we've retired." "Hortense certainly will be surprised *--Poor girl," answered Mrs, Tates. "She 'couldn't afford to come home for the short holidays. Something in her letters sounds as if she thought yen had been feeling hard times - that's why she didn't spend the money, When she learns what a wonderful disposal you have made a your bust - nese, won't she be surprleed?" "She'd be more surprised if she didn't get the telegram." "You don't mean, papa, that you" just go out and surprise her? Well, what a wonderful idea I" "Mr. Henry Yates, 701 West Ninety- ninth street, New York city: Have earned a little money tutoring, and have decided to come home Thanks- giving. Love, Hortense." Hortense struck her pencil through a word here and there to get her tele- gram down to ten words, and then paused, with the pencil in mid-air. "They would be a lot more surprised if I didn't send the telegram," she re- flected. "What a wonderful idea I" As an aid in effecting a perfect sur - rise, Hortense rejoiced that she had in her possession a latch key for the small city apartment, where her moth- er and father bad made their home since four years before she first flitted off to College. She arrived at three o'clock the afternoon before Thanks- giving, and, suitcase in .hand, passed quickly by elevator attendants to her parents' apartment on the second floor. It was not surprising to her that nO one was home. Wednesday was her mother's club afternoon, and she some- times remained out all afternoon, end then met her hnsband downtown for dinner. Hortense hoped this was to be the case this afternoon, for then he would have more time for perfect- ing the plans that she had in mind. Hortense found her little chintz - trimmed bedroom in immaculate at- tire, and, having quickly slipped on a comfortable house dress, relied up her sleeves and donned an apron, she hurried out to the kitchen. Down on her knees before the 'ice box, she opened the door and sniffed end peered curiously into its interior. "Poor, old mumsy," she said to her - emit as she beheld a meager broiling chicken, a few apples and onions and a small measure of potatoes. "Times have been hard with dad, and she didn't even have -a turkey." Hortense recalled that her mother had written, soine time before, saying that they "expected to have a quiet little dinner together on Thanksgle- but she thought that her hearty young mother end father had planned to feast off a ghee squablike broiler brought tears to Hortense' s deep blue eyes. 4 She vounted her money carefully, folded her return -trip ticket and a few new dollar bills into a little purse that she putfor safe -keeping and be- yond the temptation of green grocer or butcher, in a little ,pocket beneath the !olds of her bodice, and then count- ed out $5 besides. "That'll get some sort of, spread," she said, "if I go to the inexpensive places and make good bargains." She found an empty mar- ket basket, and having put her coat and hat on, slipped her arm into the basket and sallied fertile It was as Hortense supposed. Her mother and father did not return for dinner, and she worked interruptedly on at cranberry sauce and a small pumpkin pie till long after dark. The Nast was not to be a large one, but Hortense was a deliberate sort of cook, and so busy was she avIth mi- litary preparations that .she did not take time to sit down or even to en- ter the living rooms, of the apartment or her father's and mother's bedroom. If she had, she would have seen ob- jects that would have disturbed the serenity of her plans. As she had re- placed the broiler with a tuekey for the Thanksgiving dinner, the satisfied her ow ie appetite -now well developed, after all her many -activities -on half of the broiler, and another tear atele into her eye as she reflected that this small bird lied beeil intended to stay the Thanksgiving ardor of her pa- rents. When the living -room clock struci ten Hortense concluded that her moth- er and father had determined to stay downtown to the theater nn lee] been their custom before. 'Poor there," ehe murmured. "It Is probably only a dicey movie ,show." Worn by her travel and her exertions she deter - Mined to go to bed, but first she wrote a little note which, evithont taking the, trouble to turn en the light in her parents' bedroom, She pinned to a pin- . cushion on the bureau there. It said: Seaforth Creamery Cos can't guess then look In the kitchen 'Thiess what has happened.

This was the note that Colin Dares old bachelor friend of the Yates', found on the pineushion when he returned to his room at eleven after an espeelally trying evening spent with a client in his law offices. The handwriting was unfamiliar to him and there was noth- ing for him to do but to follow the in. etructiotat of the bete.

But this seemed so much more dim eult than the task of simply letting tier sleep that he faltered and on retired to his OW11 room. tie intended to stay awake all night so that lie might be prepared to relieve her dis- tress when she discovered that her parents were not in the apartment. But toward daylight he Tell asleep In his dressing room gown on the lounge in his bedroom and slept so soundly that only the tempting aroma of coffee and browned muffins, wafted from the kitchen window throegli the court into his OWL) bedroom, waked him.. It Was a perfectly shaven, serene, looking, eaint-eyed young lawyer who preseuted himself at the kitchen door ) a half hour later, and Was all but caught in the embrace of the very much agitated Hortense, not from the oven and the muffins. "Oh, I thought you were father," she gasped, and then leaned back, lirep and confueed, against the kite's= cup- board. The only thing to do was to eat breakfast, and after that the only thing to do seemed to be to spend Thanks- giving day together and feast upon the good things that Hortense had prepared, There were meanwhile nahny explanations and much discus - Sten of what should be donenext. Colin Dare, though he recalled Hor- tense as a very disdainful little girl, whom, four years ago, he was in good way of being in love with if she had e 'permitted it, regarded her now as, a, sort of Thanksgiving angel, the per- sonification of bounty and good cook- ing. He 'had hoped -to keep house with a Jap chef, but four within a week had proved either thieves or fools, so he had despaired. The broiler, he ex- plained, was left from the order of the one that had left the previous morning. "Once, you know, a girl would have thought lier reputation had been compromised just because she had ac- cidentally stayed in the same apart- ment with it man all night," Colin told Hortense. "I am glad you didn't look on it in that light." Hortense assured him that she was far too op -to -date for such foolish - noes. "Still," she said, "mother is a little old-fashioned. Of conrte, I'll take a train back tonight and tell her Just what happened. I wonder what girl would have done when mother was young when she found herself in just this situation." • "She would have felt that she had to, accept the man in the.question as her husband 'whether she wanted to or not," pronounced Colin with lawyer - like conclusloo. "That is why Pm glad you are a girl of today. If yen should' ever consent to be my wife I want ,to know it is because you care for me.", . By eight that night Hortense and Colin were on their way to meet Hor- tense's parents in Raynortown wlaere they lied been wired to await Hor- tense. Somehow in that Thanksgiving afternoon Colin had wooed and won the disdainful little girl he had once almost loved and they felt that the 'Theniregiving =prises were not com- plete till they had both together craved the parental blessing. . .
