' c ned . ^ r - An elderly woman entered the room. She had a small , pale withered face; a kind face , though , pleasant , gentle. She was dressed in a worn dark gown. The net fichu , crossed over her slender shoulders , was clasped b y an old-fash- ioned medallion. ••To-morrow will be Thanksg iving- eve , \ she said ; \I wished to know if I mi g ht prepare for the day after. \ An ori g inall y handsome apartment , this in -which *h z old man sat , and it had been handsomel y furnished . Now • ~ * Wl fer & t s l Gffil T iiii' a i ts belong ings bore the mark of creeping poverty, or ex- treme peuuriou a vess. The master of the house , seated by-the center table , seemed to share the character of the room. He , too , had been handsome once. Now he was expressive only of age and in- digence , from the threadbare collar of his limp dressin g -gown to theti p3 of his thin and shabby sli ppers. \Prepare what?\ he growled. \Why a turkey, sir; or a p ie , or—or ft fc it of cranberry-sauce , sir— \ He looked so fierce , her words died in her throat. \Tur key ! And where do you sup- pose I can get the money to spend on turkey ? And p ie! To make us all sick , and bring doctors and doctors ' bills down on me! And , \ with a snifi of disgust , \ cranberry sauce—the skinny stuff! No , Mrs. Dotty. A bit of bacon * and some bread will b s good enoug h for • poor folks like us—good enoug h. \ His housekeeper , for that was the un- enviable position Mrs. Dott y occup ied in Godfrey Kirke ' s household , resolved to make one last appeal. ||[ j I § 1|(] \ oh , gome in , come ml\ he cried. •'B ut I thoug ht p er h a p s on account of i he child , \ she began. ' \The ciild—the child!\ he rep u ted , irasciblv , \I' m sick of hearing about her. \ Indi gnation made Mrs. Dotty quite bold v for once. c . \She ' s your own granddaug hter , sir. That' s what she is. \ \Well , I didn 't ask for her , did I? I never wanted to adopt her. What ri g ht had her mother to make such a poor hand of herself by mar ry ing Tom Bar- rett , and then come back: to die here , and leave me her g irl? Eh? She ' s an expense , I tell you; that' s all. An ex- pense !\ a \The Lor d hel p us , but he ' s getting worse than ever!\ murmured the woman , as , with a bang that was downri g ht dis- r espectful , she slammed the door behind her. . , 0 \You—you , Miss Bessie 1\ She started , as s he looked up, and saw BessieBarrett standing so near her. She was a sl i m , b rown , -haired little thing, of about seventeen. She was clad in an itt- Hiade gown of coarse maroon cashmere. Her eyes were large , gray, just now very sorrowful. Her lashe3 and brows w . ere quite black. The d e li cate f e atures h a d a p inched look , and the pretty Iip3 were paler than should be the lips of one so 2°° °$* ^ J?- ' :. • ¦; ¦ ' ' ' ¦ - ¦ ¦ : - ' \ ¦¦ ' ¦ ¦ - \Yes; and I—heard. \ \Oh , don 't—don 't mind , dear!\ said Mis. Dotty, soothing l y, putting a hand that looked like wrinkled ivory on the g irl' s arm. \He is ju«fc a cross , soured , lonel y old man. \ \I do mind P'Bessie passionatel y cri ed. \Oh , I do! I sha ' n 't s tay here! I shaVt be an expense to him any longer. I will go away somewhere!\ She broke down in a fit of bitter weeping. \Now , Miss Bessie , dear , you mustn 't cry that way; you reall y mustn ' t. I loved your mother before you , and I love you. \ But the poor , little , old comforter was almost cry ing herself. Years before , the Kirke3 were the peop le of wealth and position in that part of the country. But one trouble aft er another had come.upo n the house. First , the wife of the master died. Maud , the daug hter , married a man whose onl y crime was poverty. He was a frail , scholarl y man , quite unfitted for a fierce strugg le against adverse fortune. He f ell ill and died. A year later his wife followed him , leaving their child to its grandfather , Godfrey Kirke. To the latter had come the final blow when his onl y 3on Robert , his hope and p ride , had * run away to sea. Then in the house , which since the death of the mis- tress had been a cheerless and dreary p lace , began a ri g id rei gn of miserliness and consequent misery. Bessie broke from her fiiend and ran upstairs and into her own little bare room. There was no fire in the grate , thoug h the day was cold with the pene- trating damp of a wind from off 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. \A horrid day, \ she said , with a shiver , \but it can 't be worse out than in. \ She put on a short old Astrahan jacket , a little felt hat and a pair of much-mended cloth g loves. Then she went quickl y down and out. The du3k , the dreary November dusk , was filling the room when the old man , p lodding over his accounts , laid down his pencil and rang the bell. Mrs. Dotty responded. Mr. Kirke kep t but one other servant (if Mrs. Dotty could correctl y be termed a servant), and she absolutel y refused to enter the protest- ing presence of her master. \Tea!\ \Yes , sir. \ The meek housekeeper withdrew. Ten minutes latir she broug ht in a- tr&j on which were tea , bread , butter , two cups , two saucers and two p lates. Mr. Kirke poured out his tea , shook a little of the sugar he was about to use back in the old silver bowl , added carefull y a few drops o f milk and cut a slice of bread. \Butter has gone up three cents intthe last week , \ he said. \I can 't a fford' to use butter. \ So he munched his bread dry, - .with a sense of exaltation in his self-imposed penance. He would not open the poorhouse-door for himself b y using p ut- ter. But , somehow , the rank tea tasted ranker than usual. Surel y the bread was sour. And the g loom outside the small circle that the lamp li g ht illumined seemed singularl y dense. What was wroEg ? What was missing Wha fr was different ? He paused , his hand falling by his side. The child—as he and.M r s. Dotty had always called her—the child was not here. She used to sli p in so quietl y, take her seat , and when her meager supper was over , g lide » away just as softly. Yes , little as he noticed her , she was generall y there. He rang the bell sharp l y. smok y, blinding fog, began to creep up from the Atlantic. \If you don 't mind , \ said Mrs. Dotty, making her appearance with a shawl over her head , \I'll just run over to Devers ' and see what is keeping Miss Bessie. \ \Do I\ he answered. Sh e had spoken as if the distance were not worth considering, but it was quite a journey for her. When she returned she looked white and scared. \She isn 't there—hasn 't been. \ \Hark!\ said Godfrey Kirke , holding up one lean hand. \That is onl y the carrier with the flour. \ \Ask him if he has seen her?\ Mrs. Dotty went into the hall. 'A lmost instantly she returned. \He has not. He says there is the body of a young woman, at the town morgue. \ \What!\ Godfrey Kirke leaped from his chair. \He say3 that the body of a young g irl was found in the East Branch to-day. \ ' Godfrey Kirke sank back in his seat. Mrs. Dotty smiled a hard little smile to herself as she closed the door and went away. She knew how many friends Bessie had. She shrewdly suspected if she were not found at one place she would be at another; and she was malici- ously and p leaAutl y conscious that she had g iven tke hard-hearted old man a genuine scare. Long the Utter sat where she had left him. Thinking. For the first time in years he was thinking, sadl y, seriousl y, solemnly. Than i sg iving-eve ! In his wife ' s time the house used to be gay and cheerful on that ni g ht , so filled with com- fort and bright antici pations , so odorous with the homel y fragrance of good things in the kitchen , so delightfull y merry with the brisk bustle attendant on the mor- row ' s festivity. Now it was desolate , tdreary, darksome with depressing and 'unutterable g loom. Whose fault was it? His ! decided Go d frey Kirke , as savagel y 'relentless to himself in this moment as he would have been to another. His ! HB HAD THE WEAPO N IN HIS HAND. when his devoted wife had drooped and died under his ever-increasing arrogance , dic tation. His ! when Maud married the first man who offered himself , to escape from her father ' s pretty rule. His ! when Robert rah away to escape the narrow obli gations and unjust restric tions laid upon him. His ! when the child his dead daug hter had left him could no longer endure his brutality, or accept from him the scaut support he so grud- g ing ly gave. His fault—all his ! In those lonely hours the whole relentless tiuth dawned upon him , a s such trut h s will dawn , in most bitter brilliance . He dropped his head on his hands with a groan. He looked around the dim , shabby room. He looked at the d y ing fire in the grate. He wondered of what use would be to him now His twenty-thou- sand in bonds , his ei g ht hundred acres of meadow land , the money he had out at interest. He rose in a dazed kind of way, a shadowy purpose taking definite- ness in his mind. He wished he had been better to Be3se ; he wished—but w ha t was t h e use o f w is hing now? T h e re could be but one satisfactory answer to all his self-condemnation. A shot from the revolver in the drawer yonder , that he had always kept in readiness for possible burg lars. He rose. He move d toward the table. His fi gure cast a fantastic shadow on the wall. The tears w ere streaming down his cheeks. There mig ht be than k sg iving f or his death , thoug u there could never have been any for his life. Hark ! He had the weapon in his hand. He started nervousl y. Was that Bessie ' s voice? He turned , dropping the revolver with a clatter. Ye3 , there she was , not thre e feet away, fresh , fair , damp, smil- ing- \It is the queerest thing, \ she said , coming toward him as she spoke. \I Mt—badly—yesterday, and I went over to Mrs. Farnham ' sto see if she could get me work. I met Mrs. Nelson , and she asked me to go home with her. ' Dicky was ill , and she wanted me to stay over ni g ht. She sent you a note. At least she sent the boy with it , bufc he lost it , and onl y t old her so thi3 afternoon. ' As soon as I knew that I started home alone—althoug h Dicky was uo better. \ \Yes?\ said Godfrey Kirke. He was listening with an unusual degree of in- terest. \And to-ni g ht , when I was almost here , (Nelsons ' is quite two miles away, you know), I got lost in the fog. \ Her grandfather regarded her in amazencent. What made he pale cheeks so bri g ht? What excitement had blackened her gray eyes? \And—a pentleman who was coming here found me , and—and brought me home. Please thank him , grand pa. Here he is!\ With an inciedulous , gas p i ng cry, God fr ey Kirke retreated , as a bi g b rown , muscular fellow came\ dashing in from the hall. \Ro bert!\ \Ea theri\ T hen they were clasped in each other ' 3 arms. / ¦ . - _ - ' ' - . \, ; ' ¦ ¦ .. \ ¦; . . _ • - . .; •I' m back from the sea for . good- father.

The pig must be well dred ged with flour when put in the pan. Mix some flour and butter together in a p late , .and pour about a quart of hot water in the pan with the p i g when it is put on the fire. Have a larding-mop in the p late of flour and butter , and mop the pi g frequently with the mixture while it is roasting. If a roaster is used , set it about two feet from the fire at first , but continue to move it neater and neater as the p ig cooks. Baste it frequentl y with the water in the pan betweenwhiles of mop- p ing with flour and butter. To be sure the pig is done , thrust a skewer throug h the thickest part of him; if no pink or reddish juice oozes out it is done , and ought to be a rich brown all over. When the p i g is done pour the gravy in a saucepan and cook it sufficienvl y. This will not be necessary if the p i g was cooked in the stove oven.

During the past year severa l outbreaks among convicts have occurred in prisons in various parts of Spain. The most serious of all the series occurred in the prison at Tarragona , a few days ago , and nine of the convicts were killed. The convic ts had been dissatisfied with theii treatment for some time , and formed a p lan for a general jail delivery. Ordinary con- victs in S panish prisons are allowed consid- erable freedom within the walls, and this practice allowed them in this case to carry tbeir plan out. .. -; - _ Shortl y after the prisoners , were released from their cells in the morning they mu- tinied. At a signal from their leader they sprang upon the warders , and the latter , taken completely b y s urprise , were soon overpowered . The convicts then had full possession of the prison , with the exception of the quar- ters occupied by the Governor. Before they could secure the keys that would g ive them their freedom the Governor sent an urgent appeal for aid to the military authorities , ¦who promptl y responded by sending a de « tachment of troops to the scene. . When the soldiers arrived they found a majority of the convicts assembled in the courtyard. The commander of the troops called upon the prisoners to return to their cel j s , but he was greeted with oaths and de- risive yells. Again he ordered them to go back. \The convicts , who had armed themselves with all manner of things that could be used as weapons , again refused to obey and in a body advanced upon the soldiers , their actions and their enraged faces showing that they meant mischief. The rifles of the soldiers were loaded with ball cartridges , and as the convicts moved toward them orders were rapidly g iven for them to fire. The order was obeyed. Be- fore the smoke had elear& . i a way the con- victs were upon the soldiers and a desperate hand-to-hand fi ght follow t id. The convicts sought to wrest the weapons from the sol- diers , but in this they were not successful . If they had been they would probably have driven the troops off and made their escape. Acting under orders from their com- mander some of the soldiers retreated from the struggling:, ye l lfng mass of humanity and reloaded their weapons. Then , awaitin g an opportunity when there was no danger of hitting a comrade , . . they would fire upon the convicts. A perfect pandemonium reigned for a time , but finally most of the convicts were driven , still cursing, back to their cells. Nine of the mutineers , howe ver , had bee n shot dead , and sixteen others were seriously wounded. The affair caused great excite- ment in Madrid , and it is demanded that the privileges of the convicts be curtailed . While the fight was proceeding within the walls a close watch was kept by the police on the outside , as it was found that the convicts had made arrangements to re- ceive outside aid in their attempt to gain their freedom. A close investigation will be made into the causes that led to the mut iny. , _ . .. ^ - . ' — ' ^ HEt M mATI , : Su ccessful Launch ot United States Cruiser No. 7. THE CINCINNATI. United States Cruiser No. 7 was success* fully launched at the Brookl yn Navy Yard a few afternoons since , and as the vessel sli pped smoothly down the ways ifc recei ved its new name , Cincinnati , from Miss Stella Mosby, daughter of the Mayor of the Ohio metropolis. It was shortly after 2 o ' clock when Miss Mosb y, pronouncing the name \Cincinnati , \' broke ft bottle of wine over the bow oE the vessel. Then the last of the props were knocked away and cruiser No . 7 of the United States Navy shot proudly out upon the Wallabout Bay. The Cincinnati was gayly decorated from stem to stern with flags , and made a noble appearance as she rode upon the water with her beautiful lines and 'freshly painted sides. The cruisers Philadel p hia and Atlanta , the double turreted monitor Miantonomob , the dispatch boat Dolphin , the d ynamite cruiser Vesuvius and the Italian cruis w Giovanni Bausa u , all of which took part in the naval parade last month , were in the Navy Yard and their crews were interested g peotators f of j tbe launching of the Cincinnati. The Cincinnati is a steel-protected cruiser. Her length on load water line is 300 feet , her extreme breadth forty-two feet , and she has a displacement of 3183 ton? , and a mean draught of eighteen feet. She will be one of the fastest vessels in the navy, .as her average spe s l will be nineteen knots. The Cincinnati will have twin screws and vertical triple-expansion engines of 10 , 000 horse-power , with a steam pressure of 100 pounds. . Her total coal capacity will be 675 tons , which will enable her to steam 1500 miles at full power without recoiling. The engines were designed by Commodore George W. Melville , Chief of the Bureau of Steam Eng ineering of the Navy, and Engi- neer William N. Dungan has had charge of their construction. The cruiser ' s armament will consist of one six-inch breech-loading rifle , ten five-inch rap id-fire guns , eight six-pounder and four o ne-pounder rapid-firing guns and two Gatling guns. Besides , she will have six torpedo tubes above water. . Her construction was authorized by an act passed September 7 , 1888 , but her keel was not laid until 1890. The cost of the Cin- cinnati ' s hull and machinery was limited to 51.100 . 000. A BIG HAUL, Captain Wbeaton Lett $35 , 000 in a Bureau Drawer and Ic Vanished. The whole county of Cape May is greatly excited over the robbery of the residence of Captain Elijah Wheaton . at Tuckaboe , N.J., some time during the early part of the week. The amount taken was $35 , 000 in cash. . Captain Wheaton and his family lefthome for a short visit to friends , and upon their .return discovered that money to the amount o t $85 , 000 , which had been kept in a bureau drawer , was missing. Other sums of money in the house were left . untouched , the thief evidently being satisfied with his first haul. Members of the family believe that the robbery was committed by some one thor- oughly acquainted with the residence and the habits and movements of the inmates.
