can have lots to eat," put in Bob.
"What did you bring us, father2"
"You jest wait till morning an see,
Bob" said Mrs. wilkins.
When morning came they found the
oranges and raisins and all the good
things, even to the figs, and to tell Of
what feast they had, and how Jolly
they were, and how the little stranger
enjoyed it with them, would be long
story.
1t was not hard to interest their near
est neighbor in the lost child, and, as he
had kept Thanksgiving on the right day,
he volunteered to go at once to town.
1t was found that a servant had gone to
walk with little Nellie and Nero, the
dog, a little distance up the road, she
had said. They had not returned, but
the girl was last seen riding with a
stranger whose slouched hat prevented
his being recognized. Nothing definite
was ever found out, but it was con-
jectured that she, wanting to be rid Of
the child and dog without going home,
had left them in the old ice house, sup
posing that the dogs barking would at
tract attention from passers-by.
The grateful parents insisted on doub-
ling the reward when they learned how
much Mr.. Wilkins had done to find little
Nellie. The sum seemed like fortune
to the poor farmer. He bought more
land with it, and very good land it
proved to be, so good that it made life
less hard for the Wilkins family. Little
luxuries, hitherto unknown, became pos
sible, and there never was time when,
from a pecuniary as well as a moral
point of view, Mr.. Wilkins was not glad
he had fought his way through the
drifts into the icehouse at the call of the
| dog and so saved the little one that was
, lost.
