The thing that nobody yer saw the

on her hand. While she looked at it
curiously , another tear slipped down
the other cheek and dropped beside its

TOU ASK AUNT POLLY." BHK SAID. .
Polly had never been an attractive wo
man, sue was grim ana narsn ana
hardworking- She avas really a Mrs.
Stephens, but she was married after
having been an "old maid" for some
years, and her old" name still clung to
her. Her husband was a mild, quiet
man and had lived but a few years
after their marriage.: People, said that
Miss Polly had "driven" him to death
and that he had been forced to die to
get a little rest, : , 'V;
.There had been a child, too ah, Misa
Pollv's erim face took on a look -of
pain when she thought of him! a
handsome, : high spirited boy, who
would not be "driven," and yet she had
tried to drive him. It had never oc
curred to her that there was any other
way. The result had been that he left
home when . he was 15, and she had
never heard from him since. -.
From that day Miss Polly had grown
more grim than ever.' She made friends
with nobody. She repelled everybody
Her black eyebrows drew .nearer to
gether in a forbidding . frown. Her
voice grew harsher and colder, and
Bhe became, as the years passed, more
gaunt and iron grtiy. Poor old Miss
Polly! People pitied her, . but they
were wise enough to let her alone.
One day a letter came from a lawyer
in a distant city. It said that her only
sister, - Mrs. Mary Alston, had died,
leaving her a considerable property "In
trust for my adopted daughter, Doro
thy Carew." . ' ' 1 v
"Fiddlesticks f exclaimed Miss Polly.
"Mary always was a. fool!" And she
threw the letter into the fire. "
A -week later she saw- a carriage
drive jap to her gate and deposit there
a young girl, with, her trunk and boxes.
The girl paid the driver, ana me car
riage went away, and then Miss Polly,
angry and amazed,' went and stood in
the door, ready to warn tne lntruaer
off. The girl came up the walk and
looked straight into Missj Polly's face
with her pretty, frank brown eyes.
"You are Aunt I'ouy," sne saiu.
know because JL have seen your pic
ture. I am Dorothy Carew." .
And then, before-Miss Polly couia
say a word, the girl took one of- the
hard, wwflkled bands in both her own
and leaned forward "and kissed the
withered cheek that had been unklssea
so long. ' . ' ' .
There was a moment's fierce struggle
In the old woman's breast Then she
said in her own grim way: -
"1 reckon I'll have to hlp you briag
in your things. There's nobody else."
She marveled at herself when she
found herself tugging at the heavy
trunk and helping this girl, this Doro
thy Carew, whom nobody wanted, to
eet her things into the hall and from
there into the "spare bedroom," which

had been unoccupied since her boy had
alept there. -- "..',.",.
"I wasn't a-lookin for you," she saia
then, ungraciously. . enough, "but I.
reckon you can stay a few days till
you git rested up." V : :
"Oh, thank you!" oiled Dorothy
sweetly. "This is a lovely old place,
a lint Vni'v! How you must love it!" -
She was looking out of the window
. smitfi.. Inside the bouse every
thing was. bare and unattractive, but
e-innced around her only
thought was. "How pretty It might be
made" . .
makins it that very day.
Tm-MiS Polly's stern face relaxed
wbea she looked in tjpoa i It tjar en
wltb dainty silken hangings brighten
ed up the walls, and all about the room
were charming nothings that , pleased
the eyes of the old woman. And yet
she did not acknowledge it . No, in
deed! She said something sharp in
stead about "all that flummery" and
-intimated that it Was nothing more
than "a trap to cateh the dust"
."Oh, I'll never let 'the dust get into
them!" said that strange girl brightly.;
"And It la so easy to make a home
pretty!'" . . ' .
And then pretty things began to
bloom out all over the house, even in
Miss Polly's room, that stiff room with
Its hard bed and Its straight backed
chairs. Somehow the stiffness and the
angularity melted away as if by magic
Bits of bright ribbons looped back the
curtains. In one corner suddenly ap
peared a little shelf with the daintiest
pink vase upon It and a rose in the
vase.
Oh, she was a wonderful girl, this
Dorothy! One day she went up and
laid her fresh young cheek against the
old woman's shoulder. .
"Aunt Polly," she saiV I miss my
piano very muclf. - 1 left it boxed up
ready To ship. Suppose we send for It?'
And JJlss Polly sent grim old Miss
Polly, who had always considered mu
sic of every kind an invention of satan.
When , the piano .came and the people
saw it carried into. that house, they
crowded around the gate and stood on
tiptoe and peeped over the fence. Sev
eral were heard to declare that Miss
Polly was undoubtedly crazy. She came
out then and shook her fist at them,
and that was so much like her old self
that they concluded her mind was all
right after all But, if not crazy, then
what? - - . T
And Dorothy's music! She liked best
to play when th twilight was in the
house, and the old woman would sit
over by the dim window and 'look at
the sunset sky and listen. Dorothy
knew little about classic music or bril
liant effects, but she could play many
of the old time pieces and sing them,
too, in a voice sweet and tender.
At last something happened that
showed the lonely old woman that this
was not quite so bad a world as she
had thought it and that she had even
misunderstood herself. Dorothy was
taken 11L It had seemed nothing Jbut
a slight cold at first, but by the next
evening It was so much worse that
Miss Polly herself put on her bonnet
and ran for a physician. And so for
many days they battled with the dis
ease that had laid its hold upon the
young girl and would not give her up.
: Then Miss Polly began to learn. Peo
ple that she had not spoken to in years
came to the door and asked if they
might help take care of Miss Dorothy.
An old woman that had been Miss Pol
ly's mortal- enemy and whom she had
passed In the street a hundred times
with her Jhead turned contemptuously
away now haunted the house with
dainty dishes which she hoped might
tempt the invalid.
Even the boys of the neighborhood,
between whom and Miss Polly . there
had been bitter warfare, hung about
the gate now, and when their ancient
nemy appeared they asked her if they
couldn't "be sent on an errand or some-thin'-
;;; - '
"I didn't think she knew one o these
people," said the bewildered Miss Pol
ly. "I didn't suppose she knew any
body but me." N
And so it came to pass that when the
doctor came out of that quiet room
one day and told Miss Polly that the
crisis was past and that Dorothy would
get well the old woman sat and looked
down at the two tears that had fallen
upon her wrinkled hands and said to
herself:
"Well, I don't s'pose anybody 'ever
saw the likes o' that!" -
One day, when the invalid had grown
strong enough to sit up and was in the
great - armchair all wrapped up in
blankets, Miss Polly said in her own
abrupt way: -
"I'm goin to keep Thanksglvin, Doro-
thy," '-- .:.
-Dorothy's eyes flashed with surprise
and pleasure.
"Don't you haven't you always kept
it?? she asked. .
"No, I've never kept It I thought
the day was nothin to me, and so I
shut myself " up and worked harder
than ever and nated other- people for
makin so much of it But now this Is
different. ?-I'm goin to cook a good din
ner, my dear, andyeu shall ask the
guests' for your part. I reckon jou'd
better invite the choir people, some of
'em, and Colonel'- Daly's daughter,
that's been here to see you so many
times." "
"No, Aunt Polly," was all that Doro
thy gald, but her pretty pale face was
suddenly flushed,' and her mind was
already..: busy with plans. What a
Thanksgiving they would have! -Cook
ever so much, Aunt Polly,"
she said coaxingly. "We shall want
the two long tables put together, and
I want them fairly filled, because' the
people that will be here would not
have had any Thanksgiving at home."
The next day Miss Polly stood at the
pantry window and watched the guests
come. The first arrival was that poor
old Mrs. Day, who had not walked a
step or been outside of her own mis
erable house for more than 15 years.
Dorothy's friends, the boys, had car
ried her over, chair and all, in a kind
of triumphal procession, and when
they set the chair down they wentout
side and gave three cheers for Dorothy
and three more for Miss Polly.
Then came three girls from the fac
tory, country girls, far from home and
with few pleasures that were saie
ones. In all that great, busy town no
body remembered them but Dorothy, it
seemed.
Then there was the old. gentleman
with the shabby clothes and the court-
1 manners, ' the old gentleman that
lived all alone in a little room at the
toD of a big house. What a pretty
picture Dorothy made going out to
meet him add pretending that he was
assisting her up the steps when all the
time she was helping him! :
And there were many others, enough
to fill the long table. Just ; as they
were about to sit down Dorothy said: v
- "There's a poor tramp. Aunt Polly,
looking in at the gate. I believe I'll go
and-ask him in." ' ' -
Now, Miss Polly had been the sworn
enemy of tramps all her life, and she
started up suddenly.
"Drive him away, Dorothy !" she
cried. "I can't endure tramps.."
"But perhaps he's hungry," said
Dorothy, turning her brown eyes full
upon Miss Polly. "And we have a
Thanksgiving dinner, and he hasn't."
Then she went out, and they saw her
tsesS to ti,a caa ead lavite him in.
Alter all, they were glad of It. It was
too bad to think of any man going hun
gry while that dinner awaited them,
and they cheerfully made room for
him at the table.'
And such a dlnnerf. Why. If Miss
Poljy had been In training for It all her

look over the table It aosolutcly laugh
ed, a funny little quavering laugh, as
though It were not used to It Then. In
a moment, everybodjr was laughing,
and there never was such a merry
crowd. Why. even ncor old Mrs. Dav
was laughing like a schoolgirl and de
claring that she liked any part of the
turkey, so there was enough of It
As for Miss Polly well, there was
absolutely no accounting for her. There
she was, carving away as though her
life depended on it, and flying here
and there around the table and re
plenishing everybody's plate-before it
was half empty. Her face was fairly
glowing with happiness
And then all "at once the little old
gentleman In the shabby clothes Btood
up and leaned his trembling hands on
the table. Tie wanted to express his
own happiness and that of x all the
guests, he said, at he privilege of Join
ing In this blessed Thanksgiving feast
Some -of them' had been living hard'
lives, very hard lives. Some of them
had feared, had even thought, that
they were friendless and alone In the
world. He thanked heaven for their
hostess, who had madp her home that
day a home for so. many others, and he
thanked heaven for the lovely young
girl who carried sunshine wherever
she went
It was not a -very eloquent speech,
but the greatest after dinner orator
could not have won heartier applause.
Even the baby cheered because the
rest did. But Miss Polly was still Miss
Toliy, and" she could take no praise
that was not hers.
; "Don't give me credit for any o' it,1
she said stoutly. -"It was all Doro

There were tears in Miss Tolly's eyes

down her cheeks without attracting
the least attention, for just then a won
