DIMPLE'S THANKSGIVING.
"Must I pick up chips9 its Saturday.
said Dimple, pouting a tride.
"Allthe more reason" said Aunt Patie
briskly. Saturday Is baking day, and
want to heat my oven"

Dimple, clearing up. "Golng to make q

Dimple was rather proud Of going tc
the little red school-house; he liked tc
talk Of having to study, and Saturday
being his holiday, when he did not wan,
to work.
Now, being refreshed by the thought
OF the Thanksgiving dainties his chips
were going to help cook, he trudged of
to the woodshed, and was back almost
before grandma's apron was tied.
1t was trial that she did not accept
his ready offers to help, and he pouted
again when he was presented with six
raisins and requested to take himself
| away from the kitchen. He did, and
! was gone an hour, when suddenly he
rush ed back.
"Abner says if you'll come and look
| over the turkeys, because he has his
Pinion and he knows you have contra
y one"
Aunt Pa1ie hurried from the kitchen
Her mind was fixed which gobbler was
to be approved as latest for the feast.
Grandma followed, and. Dimple was left
alone in the kitchen. The huge pump
kin pie stood on side table; it was large
and deep enough for Il pudding and DIM
pie looked at it with satisfaction.
II don't believe It's sweet enough
Aunt Patie don't like SO much sugar as
grandma and me;;' and herewith Med
dlesome Dimplc plunged in hcaping
spoonful OF white powder from the hox
nearest.
"Now, Mary Vail needn't brag how she
helps bake" said D1mplc. II know some
things as much as she does. S'pose put
some more cinnamon, too"
Grandma came back just in time to
prevent the contents Of the red pepper
box from favorlng the mincc-meat, ana
Dimple conveying q sly pinch to his
mouth, got his deserts and ehoked and
sputtered, while the tears rolled down
upon his blousess
II 'spected it was cinnamon-looks
red just the same," he walled, while
grandma tried to comfort him with an
apple, and Aunt Pate smiled grimly.
"Maybe you'll be taught not to med
| de-" said she.
~ don't believe I SHALL" sobbed Dim
! pie. "Next time I shall take little
pinch, though"
Dimple thought the days would never
drag away and the feast-day arrive.
But it did, and no chips to pick up
and his best suit on, Dimple was happy
He did not 60 to church. Aunt Patie
remained at home to look after the din
ner, and she knew that grandma would
not keep Dlmple from falling off the seat
aud talking aloud.
The minister came to dine. So did
Mary Vail and her mother. The little
faxen-h haired maiden looked whittier than
ever in her red plaid dress.
"And asked Jakcy Brown; he said
they hadn't any turkey, and lie never
tasted any. guess herc'he is, and lkey
too,' said Dimple, running to the door
Aunt Patio frowned, but grandma
looked kindly at the shabby boy, who
! came IN awkwardly, but looking so eagc1
and hungry.
II suppose they never did have din
ner like this" she said, softly. I'VE car
make room, Patience, and you see they
are clean,
II told them TO be all washed" said
Dimple IN loud whisper. ooh, yes
we can crowd up, and I'll sit by the table
leg"
So there was place for every one, an(
every one looked pleased. How thu
Brown boys did eat, to be sure! Tue,
had never had such chance before, poo
things. Finally the pies and the pud
dings came on, and Aunt Patie said Il
the minister:
"First, I want ysu to try our pumpkin
pie, Mr.. Millman. It's made after tn
recipe my grandmother had, and we al
ways have it cooked IN just such dish
and just as large"
| The pie looked very nice, and Dimpl
nudged Mary Vail under the table, ant
smiled.
"It's just as sweet" he whispered.
Mr.. Millman did not seem to enjoy hi
slice; he coughed and drank some water
so did the others, and Aunt Pate, tasting
exclaimed:
