It was more than forty years since he had arrived from Russia and opened a little tailor's shop on the lower East side. His sons and daughters had prospered and had moved uptown, but old Isaac and his wife Rebekah still lived in the modest tenement in which their children had been born and had grown to manhood and womanhood. Every December 31 there was a re- union like this one. Abraham and his wife Yetta had motored down from their country home near Yonkers, with their children, Morris and Frank. Isi- dor, part owner of a department store, had brought his wife and daughter. Rachel, the school teacher, had brought her fiance, Meyer Seidlitz; and there were Philip, the rising young lawyer, and Marcus, the architect, who had only begun to prosper after sev- eral years of obscurity. Only one child was absent—Lawrence, the youngest, and the Benjamin of his father's old age. No matter what the passing year had brought forth, each child of the aged couple made it a point of honor to pay respects to his parents by din- ing with them in the little flat. Every- body looked forward to this annual gathering. They were the happiest people in the world as they took their places at the table. Isaac, a hale octo- genarian, sat at the table, wearing his black skull cap, and began sharpening the carving knife. At the foot his wife sat facing him, her wrinkled face smiling, her eyes beaming with love as she gazed upon her children. Abra- ham, the financier, and Isidor, the mer- chant, fraternized on equal terms with Marcus, who was just beginning to emerge above the horizon of success, and Rachel and Philip, who had not seen each other for months, were so preoccupied that Meyer Seidlitz felt a pang of jealousy, in spite of the fact that they were brother and sister. The turkey was sizzling in its rich brown T i O “l Know What You're Thinking of Father.” gravy, the potatoes seemed ready to melt inside their jackets, the celery was crisp and dainty, the olives gleamed lusciously, and there was an inviting sparkle of cut glass and sil- verware. Just as old Isaac took up the carv- ers his wife held up her hand. “We are thirteen at table,” she ex- claimed. Each looked at the other. Nobody believed in the foolish legend of dis- aster, and yet somehow the discovery cast a gloom over the gathering. “What's the odds?” asked Abraham. “Who believes in that, I'd like to know ?" But old Rebekah had been failing, and to continue with the meal seemed impossible. If this was to be her last New Year's dinner each would feel like a murderer. Meyer Seidlitz jumped out of his chair. “I'll get somebody to make the four- teenth,” he said. “Whom?” asked Rachel. “The first person I meet,” answered Meyer, and departed amid shouts of approval, Old Isaac put down the carvers and sighed deeply. “I know what you're thinking of, father,” said Rachel, patting his hand. “Poor Lawrence!" Isidor and Abraham exchanged glances. Lawrence was the black sheep of the family. Success had never come to him. Time and again his father or his brothers had made good defalca- tions and dishonesties on his part, un- til at last Lawrence had embezzled a large sum of money from a business firm for which he worked. Isidor had got him that position. He paid cheer- fully, but Lawrence had received six months’ imprisonment. He had written pitiful letters to his parents and broth- ers after his release, but nobody had trusted him again or answered him. emphatically. nature.” ‘A bad lot,”” Abraham sighed. “Still,” said Rachel, “those things are largely a matter of temptation. “He's just crooked by chance, Isidor.” “No,” said Marcus, emphatically. | your slippers?” “The boy's no good,” Isidor declared ! | tbefore I could even be assured of my | (next month's rent coming in.

Don't cry, mother. I'm going to find him and tell him so. I guess we can do something for him yet.” “Well,” said Abraham, reluctantly, “maybe one chance more. But who would employ him? Who'd give him a chance, with such a character as he's | got?” “I will,” said Isidor. “T'll take him | on in my store if he really means to i jrun straight.” | RO BE0HOOHOHOCHOHORCAOHHIHISHIH LY “QHCEORECRY “I knew you would, Isidor,” said Ra | @ T YOU ARE THINKING OF BUILDING., SEE ’ chel, patting her brother's hand. “Well, T didn't quite mean what I say,” admitted Marcus. “After all, he's our brother, and one ought to stand by one's own through thick and thin.” “That's right,” said Philip. “Be- sides, this is New Year.” “Children,” said old Isaac, address- ing the bearded men in vehement tones, “I stand by what Phil says. This is New Year, and no matter what has happened during the past year, all of you meet here as friends and in mu- tual forgiveness. Cheer up, mother, I'm going to find that boy, cost what it may, and do the right thing by him.” “And he shall start in with me at once,” said Isidor. “Gee, that turkey smells good!” sald little Frank. “Why don't we begin, 1pa?’ “I wish Meyer would hurry up,” said Rachel; and just. then they heard Meyer Seidlitz come bounding up the stairs. Outside the door he halted and a heated discussion appeared to be taking place. Meyer flung the door wide open and the altercation changed to a scuffle. “Here he is,” he yelled triumphantly. “First man 1 met. He looks as if he wants a meal—I saw him standing near the water front, looking as though he was about ready to throw himself in. Come in, you donkey. Don't you understand that you're in- vited to dinner?” He dragged him inside. “Lawrence!” cried each one, rising; and then there was a scrimmage to get to the fugitive. But old Rebekah had him in her arms, and she was crying over him, as though he were a child MARSHALL & SANDERS The 0Id Rellable Contractors V ho have been building houses in Lakeland for years, snd \ ho neyer "FELL DOWN" or failed to give satisfaction.

Her hair was done up in a becoming style, and she looked ten years young- er than usual. She put her arms around his neck, drew his head down and kissed him sweetly. “Give me your hat and coat,” she sald. “I will hang them away, for I can see that you are tired. Have you had a hard day at the office, dear?” “Yes,” he replied. “I'm all fagged out.” “I'm sorry, but never mind. 1 feel sure that things will take a turn for the better soon.
