THANKSGIVING DINNER.

1t is not necessary that the Thanksgiv-
ing feast should be sumptuous. There
need not be turkey on the table. nor
mince pie. nor plum pudding, nor ice
cream. The plates and dishes need not
be Of fine porcelain, nor fhe spoons and
forks Of solid silver No colored man
need stand behind any Of the chairs. to
deprive people OF the pleasure Of waiting
upon one another.
All NAV be very plain. cheap an1 sim

was in pecuuiarv straits took homo fot

nuts. and they were received with shouts
Of laughter and applause. lie says they

tween it and the road. lie couldn't get
through easily. 1t would hinder him in
his journey, too. Perhaps he wouldn
see home that night, he said to himself.
So he drove on.
What made him connect that dogs
barking with the story of the lost child:
He couldn't seem to get rid of that. He
stopped, and again measured the dis
tance and the height of the drifts. de-
oided that it wasn't worth while to get
through them list fur dog" as he
tried To make himself believe, and again
started.
"What if 1t was your child?7 The
thought stung him.
"Well. here goes.' he said. and suited
the action TO the word by covering his
horse with the sleigh robe and striking
Ut for the house. 1t was a struggle
sten for the hardy farmer. As he nearcd
ihe place the barking grew louder The
door on the side toward him was almost
covered. so he made for the rear. That
8ad been sheltered from drf.s by tie
building. and q small door was accessible
here. As heopened it a handsome New
'oundland dog rushed out. jumping on
him and whining for JOY. SIR. Wilkins
sTes. dazzled hv the snow. could at first
see nothing. but the dog pulled him
toward the most sheltered corner Of the
place where n four-year-old girl lay
u-hito and m0tiouless.
Telegram-herald., 1889-11-28

"Wnl you tell us your name, dear?
said Mrs. wilkins 10 the child, as she
took her ia her arms
Name, Nellie" said she, and, sure
enough. her gold pin was so engraved.
MARY" ''ride, doggy" and big
man" were all she could say plainly
about where she had been. Perhaps no
one could understand her sweet prattle
but her mother. At the thought OF that
sorrowing woman, Mrs. Wilkins said
with tears in her ewes:
90 Samuel, I'm just grieved thinkin'
about this baby's mother. When can we
send word?
Likes not some onen be goin' 10 town
in the mornin', Mirandy," he replied.
After drinking cup of tea which H.
wife had prepared while he worked. Mr..
Wilkins started out 10 get bis horse and
sleigh under cover. This done, he pre-
pared for a pleasant evening with his
family. After the children had asked
questions 10 their hearts content about
his adventure, the talk drifted around TO
themselves.
1--WE haven't had any Thanksgiving,
father" said Elsie, as she sat on his knee.
81 think we have, child" said Mrs.
Wilkins. "Isn't it Thanksgivin' enough
to see father back safe? That's better
than all the dinners we could eat"
"Never mind, Elsie; we'll keep Thanks
givin' to-morrer," said her father. Il
don't know S it makes much difference
when we keep it es long es we're thank
full enough"
"An' have lots to eat," put in Bob.
"What did you bring us, father"
"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 a feast they had, and how Jolly
they were, and how the little stranger
enjoyed it with them, would be a 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 20 at once 10 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
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 a 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 Dos
sible, and there never was time when,
from a pecunia~y rs 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 vas
lost.

Wednesday had passed slowly TO 1rr.
wilkins in the dingy little hotel where
he was staying. When he started for
home early ON the following morning
the hangers on about the door forboded
all sorts of evil results 10 his "fOolhardy
notion" Of trying TO get through such a
snow, but he persisted in going.
Seems es If | must, he told them.
1t was hard work-harder than ne had
expected, but old Bess was a strong
horse, and he himself used to rough
weather.
Twelve miles were Travelled without
incident or accident. The rest of the
way was lonely enough, some of it skirt
ing woods and leading through glens.
1t was wild, beautiful drive in sum-
mer, but desolate in winter. As Mr.
wilkins drove on, thoughts of an event
of which he had heard in town recurred
to his mind: Judge Carter's little girl
was lost; missing since Tuesday; servant
-Ook her to walk; neither of them seen
since; a thousand dollars rewardw
These had made little impression on the
busy man at the time, but now, in the
quiet of that lonely drive, they came
back in fragments. He thought of his
own little ones and of the awful weather
that had prevailed since Tuesday, the
day he had left home.
He was startled from his reverie by
the sharp barking Of a dog. 1t seemed
to come from an old building off from
the road, which, situated near a pond,
had once been used as an ice house. He
listened. Yes, that was the place from
which the noise came, and the barking
sounded as if something unusual had
happened The ice house was deeply

THE LOST FOUND.

q THANKSGIVING STORY, BY ANNIE I.
WILLS.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1889-01-19

-Ir is going to be harder matter than
most people suppose 10 make any progress in
the water question this session. Assembly
man Thompson, Of Washoe, introduced a
till this week, providing for the issuing Of
bonds to the amount Of 500, 900 by Washoe
county for the purpose of storing The waters
of some creek. Everybody in that county
admitted two months ago that it would be
worth 100000 to the county to have the
water storer, but now most everybody has
signed his name to petition not to have the
bill pass. May be the people of Washoe
would like to have the people Of Storey or
Ormsby issue The bonds.
