"Oh, Miss Dorothy. he is just per-

Dodie, as she was helping Miss Dorothy
set the tea-table, and Willis was out OF
doors bringing in some fresh wood.
"Y,s, he is a very nice sort of fellow,
but ] am real sorry to spoil your plea
SAINT Thanksgiving" quietly replied
Miss Dorothy, with merry twinkle in
her eyes. Dodie looked surprised. 4" Be-
cause, of course" continued Miss Doro-
thy, elf you don't like young men, and
hate boys, and are so surfeited with
masculinity, it would have been much
pleasanter for we two girls to have had
our good time alone"
In spite of Miss Dorothy's regrets,
however, Dodie never passed a more
delightful evening in all her life; and as
tor Mr.. Woodman, he was so thankful
for the sweet gift the day had brought
him, that he asked Dodie to spend all
of her holidays from that day thence
forth with him as his wife. She gave
him her promise true" and the very

Dorothy Driscoll's little cottage, Mr.
and Mrs. Willis Woodman were her
honored guests.

RED RIDING HOOD.
A THANKSGIVING STORY.

Miss Dorothy Driscoll folded her
plump hands over her shining silk
apron. and congratulated herself that
the day" had passed off very pleasantly.
She had invited her little namesake,
Dorothy Bell-Dodie, for short-to come
up to GRANVILLE and spend Thanksgiving
with her, and everything had been highly
satisfactory; to be sure, it may have
seemed little quiet and tame to Dodie,
accustomed rs she was to II houseful of
noisy boys at home but still Miss Doro-
thy thought it might be u pleasant
change, even the quiet and the tameness; !;
and SO it was, for Dodie being the only
sister, she was frequently called upon to
do thousand things for those same
boys whenever sic had holiday from
school-teaching, and, the. efore, holi-
days to her were often as much wol king
days rs any other of the three hundred
and sixty odo.
1t was very pleasant at Miss Dorothy's.
She lived alone in dear little cottage,
and everything always went on so sys-
tematically and perfectly well-ordered
that il was relief to Dodie, after the
wild, rather upside-down way of things
at home.
GRANVILLE was trim little village,
looking not unlike the toy sets of houses,
fences and churches which children play
with sometimes-the cottages were so
very white, the shutters so very green
and the fences that surrounded each
little home so very peaked and tidy.
nodie had arrived the afternoon pre-
vious, and was met by Miss Dorothy,
who greeted her warmly, saying, as she
stopped down TO embrace the little
figure which was obliged to stand on
tip-toe to receive the kiss:
"W hat a little mite you are still! Not
grown an atom, except in-ahem, well,
if l were not afraid you would be vain,
I'd say what; but you are very like your
mother, DOdie; l remember lust how
she looked at seventeen, and there
wasn't a prettier girl in the country.
How old are youP"
Nearly eighteen, Miss Dorothy; but
indeed am not so very little; the boys
measured me the other daY and / am
almost four feet, 4" and Dodie held herself
very erect as she tru6ged on beside Miss
Dorothy's height and breadth.
Well, .Edare say what you lack in
size you make up in quality, but l am
very glad to see what there is of you,
assure you; l hope you will spend 8
pleasant Thanksgiving; it will be dull

Anecdote of General Hooker.

Louis H. Bond writes to the editor of
the Cincinnati Enquirer: l served on
General Hooker's staff for nearly year,
and on one occasion was assigned to duty
as judge advocate of general court
martial, before which a private soldier
in Michigan regiment was brought,
charged with desertion. The evidence
showed that the prisoner had deserted
three times, on the last occasion lin the
face.o the enemy" The cOurt-martial
sentenced him to be shot, and the record
of his trial and conviction was forwarded
to General Hooker for his approval. A
short time subsequently General Hooker
came to my quarters, which adjoined his
own, and said:
Bond, in this case against private
-, what do you think had better be
doneP Are there no extenuating circum-
stancesP"
None that l know of, general He
has deserted three times.n
"Isn't there something in the case
upon which you could base recommen-
dation of mercy?"
" Not thing. The proof against him
was positive and not denied, and the
witnesses say further that when he was
with his regiment he was Il worthless
fellow and constitutional coward"
That's just the thing" said the gen
eral, positively. "The man is constitu-
tionally a coward, and you recommend
him to mercy on that ground. I'll tell
you what's the matter, Bond, his mother
is at my quarters begging for her sons
life, and want to spare him.
In accordance with this suggestion, the
recommendation for leniency was writ
ten, and few minutes thereafter feeble
old lady, with silver gray hair and II
fearful face, was bowed out of the gen
erals door by the brave old hero, and
turning away, she exclaimed, with up
lifted hands, "God bless you, General
Hooker"
