•itist see, my dear boy, what a
beautiful fat bird, all broiled! And
this toast is browned to perfection.
Delinonico couldn't do better, and I
expect, you to eat it all, to prove your
appreciation of your wife's skill in
cooking." Smiling brightly, the young
wife whisked a light table to the bed
side, and placing the tray on it,
propped the patient with pillows in
a comfortable position to partake of
the tempting food. Carving the bird
into dainty bits, she sat down beside
him while he tried to eat a little
just to please her.
But the effort was a woeful failure,
and he turned away with a weary
sigh, born of more than physical suf
fering. His wife kissed his pale fore
head and stroked away the brown
curling locks with a touch of gentle
sympathy.
"Cheer up, dear, and don't think
of things that worry you. Make haste
to get well and it will ail come right,
in good time, I'm sure."
"You are more hopeful than I am
then. How can I help worrying, when
I know that it is only a question of
a short time, until we will probably
be turned into the streets. Lying
here flat on my back, with starvation
staring us in the face! What's to be
come of us?"
"Keep quiet, sweetheart, or you will
bring on the pain again. It is not
so bad as that, and soin«thing tells
mo that things will right themselves
if we do the best we can and be pa
tient."
"I 'know I'm brute, Nell, to be
cross with the dearest wife in the
world, but how can a fellow be pa
tient! If it were not for this accursed
rheumatism—ah—" as a fresh twinge
seized him, he almost yelled with
pain.
Helen applied the remedies, always
at hand for sudden paroxysms, and
after getting him somewhat quieted,
she took lip a book and with one soft
cool hand resting on his feverish one,
read to him, diverting his mind from
perplexing thoughts, until, under the
spell of her musical voice, he fell
asleep.
Helen Mayson possessed a decided
talent for combining her thoughts,
original, vigorous and poetic, into
short stories, poems and special arti
cles. With some training and much
diligent practice, she had added, by
the sale of her productions, small
sums from time to time to their mea
gre bank account.
Sometime during the preceding
summer she had placed a short story
in competition for a cash prize, offer
ed by the publishers of a popular
magazine. The contest was to close
November ist, and as she had heard
nothing from it, she concluded it was
a failure. In fact, her husband's ill
ness and her own distress and anxiety
had almost driven it from her mind,
Their savings were about exhausted
and but for a small sick benefit policy
they would be actually lacking daily

Cheer up, dear, and don't think of
things that worry you."
necessities. They had bought their
home on the instalment plan, and
had it almost paid for. But for some
time her husband had been out of em
ployment, and just as he obtained
work, his sickness came on. The next
payment would fall due January 1st
and must be met, or their home must
go. To meet it she was resolved, but
how? That was the question which
puzzled her busy brain, and she did
her household duties and cared for
the invalid, never allowing him to see
anything but the most cheerful, hope
ful e-pression on her face.

rattled by. loaded with holiday goods.
I lolly and mhstletoe, Die season's in
evitable emblems, were glancing from
the interiors of happy homes. The
shop windows were brilliant with
display of Christmas cheer.
The lively picture and the chatter
of the gay throng made Helen all Ihe
more sad and disheartened, as she
sped swiftly homeward from a visit
to the real estate agent. She had told
him the situation frankly, and beep
given a month's respite.
With this time gained the world
looked a shade less dark to her
buoyant spirit, but as die compared
the gay scene with a similar one a
year ago, in which she and Frank
were so happy, the hot tears fell in
spite of her, as she entered a trolley
car. The postman was going in as
she came up to her gate. Glancing
at the publisher's name on the en
velope which he handed lier, she sud
denly recollected her story and with
eager, trembling fingers hastily open
ed tln> letter and read;
"Dear Madam:—Your story, kindly
submitted to us in the prize contest,
was duly placed for examination.

yours and the working out of the plot
is different, yet the plot in itself is so
nearly identical, in every point and
detail, that we cannot treat it as
simply a coincidence and, therefore,
must withhold payment of prize
money until investigation.
"Kindly call on us, and by a person
al interview we hope to get at the bot
tom of the mystery, and be enabled to
determine to whom the plot belongs.
"We beg to remain,
"Yours truly,
"UNION PUB. CO."
As Mrs. Mayson read this letter
feelings of surprise delight, indigna
tion, determination followed one an
other.
She concealed the letter, glad that
Frank knew nothing about it, and re
solved to keep the secret until a final
decision was reached.
She had hard work to get up an ex
cuse to go out again that afternoon,
but a friend dropped in, who prom
ised to keep her husband company
while she was away.
On reaching the publishing house,
she was shown into a private office
and, fortunately, bad a few minutes
alone in which to think what she
wished to say. She had herself well
in hand, and was able to greet the
gentleman who approached in her
own natural, dignified way.
"I am Mrs. Mayson, sir," she said
by way of introduction, as she pro
duced his letter.
"Pray be seated, madam." For an
instant be allowed his keen gray eyes
to rest upon her face, as if lie would
"size her up" at a glance.
Helen bore it without flinching, and
her brown eyes met his frankly. That
one swift glance apparently satisfied
him.
"Madam," he said, in a kindly tone,
"will you give me, briefly, all the
facts connected with your writing the
story in question?"
"With pleasure, sir," Helen replied
"Four years ago I took a course in
liteary work in a school of journalism.
Since then I have often sought their
aid, by sending them either my work
fully written out, or in outline only,
for criticism.
"They never rewrite any portion of
it—they simply point out the faults,
make suggestions and leave me to
alter the work myself.
"When I thought of entering the
contest for this prize, I carefully pre
pared an outline of the plot I meant
to use and sent it to them for ap
proval. I waited some time, and, as 1
was anxious to begin the story, 1
wrote and asked them why it had not
been returned to me. In a short time
they wrote me that my work had been
examined and returned to me some
time ago."
"Ah! I see!" interrupted her listen
er. "Have you that letter in your
possession?"
"I think so," Helen replied, and pro
ceeded. "I had kept a copy of my
plot, and, concluding the other had
been lost in the mails, I went to work
on my story, and when completed sent
it to you."
"Thank you. madam, for your frank
ness. I see a fight. You know wo
publish nothing but strictly original
stuff, and the house is not willing to
risk any chances of fraud. If you
will give me the address of this place
I will write immediately. In the mean

I believe so—yes," he answered
Kindly, as he bowed hex' out.
Matters proved as he suspected.
I he name of the person sending the
•aller story was Henry Maybrick. A
letter was dispatched to the school of
journalism inquiring if they were in
correspondence with such person, fur
nishing them with some of the facts,
and politely requesting them to throw
any light in their power on the mat
ter. In due time the reply came,
rhey had, last spring, as a pupil in
journalism a man by that name living
at that time in New York City. He
was no longer on their books, or within
their knowledge. Yes, they knew Mrs.
Mayson; she hail been a regular pupil
oi theirs four years ago as Helen
Dale, and since her marriage they had
frequently had dealings with her. Tho
outline submitted was certainly hers;
(hey recalled tho circumstance, and
account for it being in Maybrick's
possession in but one way—on ac
count of a similarity of names, it had,
doubtlessly, boon mailed to him in
stead of its rightful owner. They re
gretted the mistake exceedingly, etc.
This, with the letter to Helen
(which she promptly forwarded, to
gether with the original outline),
formed proof enough to satisfy
even a scrupulous publisher and es
tablish beyond doubt her right to the
prize.
What visions of a happy Christmas
and joyous New Year, and even of fu
ture fame and fortune by her pen,
flitted through the brain of Helen
Dale-Mayson, as she read the publish
er's letter containing a check for
$l,OOfi.OO and a polite hope that she
would favor them with further con
tributions.
She felt that she could almost for
give the culprit who had stolon her
plot since he had not profited by it,
as she hastened to tell the good news
to her husband.
HE FOOLED THE SKIPPER.
Writer Was Not the Ignoramus He
Professed to Be.
Sir J. C. Wright Hyne, the English
author of delightful stories of tho sea,
is greatly given to mystification. This
generally takes the form of pretend
ing a colossal ignorance of the sea
when he is afloat—and it is seldom
he is not. On one voyage he made
friends with the "old man" and plied
him with ridiculous questions. The
skipper was a patient man, and an
affable, and he explained with grav
ity that the hatch had nothing to do
with chickens, nor was tho donkey
engine worked by an ass, but he
came near to an apoplectic seizure
when tlie "greenhorn" wanted to
know whether it was the wheel that
propelled the vessel. Then Mr. Hyne
said he would like to learn something
about ropes, and the ski >r under
took to teach him how to make a
grommet. They set to work, but
presently tho teacher was called
away, and the pupil, left to himself,
unconsciously began to weave with
all tho dexterity of the skilled sea
man. Suddenly he heard a strangled
exclamation, and, looking up, ho
found the skipper regarding him with
wrathful eyes. "Oh, you dear blessed
beauty," cried the outraged skipper—
these were not his exact words, but
they wifi servo^-"and you told me
you didn't know a hawser from a
holystone." But tho "old man's"
wrath was speedily appeased and
subsequently there was a sound of
revelry by night.
And Bull Had Bullion, Too.
Mr. Rose had been beaming all the
morning.
"You seem well, sir? suggested
Mr. Jenkins, the head clerk.
"I am, Jenkins; and I'm pleased as
well. My daughter's going to be mar
ried."
"Indeed, sir! Who to?"
"Young Bull, the rich--Great
Scott!"
"What's the matter, Mr. Rose," said
Mr. Jenkins.
"I've just remembered," said Mr.
Rose. "You see, when my daughter
was born my wife wanted her to have
a sweet, romantic name, and finally
decided to call her Wilde, because
Wilde Rose sounded so very pretty
ar.d tender."
"A good idea, too. But what's that
go to do with the present trouble?"
"How will she like to be called
Wilde Bull!"
"Red Thunder" is Killed.
Word reaches St. Paul from the
American desert to the effect that
Red Thunder, the most powerful chief
of the Pinas, had gone to the happy
hunting grounds.
Red Thunder boasted that he had
never entered a white man's settle
ment and had been in the dwelling of
a pale face but once. He also boasted
that he always bested his white
brother, for whom, however, he had
the greatest friendship when he dealt
with him. Red Thunder was killed
by an engine. .
