"Aunt Olive is in love-" said Sue, as
she passed her plate down to Dan to be
retilled. "She isn't eating mouthtul,
Dan; scoop out some stuffing that is nice
and hot, please"
"What in thunder is wedged in here?''
exclaimed Dan, as he proceeded TO

"The summer savory box" said Olive.
"Whose trick was that9 might have

''Please send the box up on my plate"
interrupted Sue.

Bess chanted merrily.
She wrenched the cover from the box
and took out the letter she had hidden
there. "Heres your love letter, Aunt
Olive" she said, passing it up to the
head of the table.

With puzzled face Olive slipped her
knife through the Drowned envelope
and took out the letter. They saw her
face change as she glanced over it.
This was the message that came to her
from the past
DEAR OLIvE--Must the unkind wor Is of
| last evening be our last ones? l am hot
tempered and you are proud, but If l could
see you once again before l sail you might
reverse your decision. II may come this

The look in Olives face as she read the
message hushed the voluble tongues of
the girls effectually.
"a letter." she said to Dan with the
ghost Of a smile, 'that | should have
received ten years ago"
"Perhaps it reached you in the nick
of time after all" he suggested cheerily.
Olive shook her her negatively. This
was the word she had longed for after
her quarrel with Philip Ellenwood long
ago. She had been anxious to reverse
her decision, but she was too proud to
make the first venture. She had thought
bitterly he did not care, and now here
was his letter giving the lie to her doubt.
She recalled the long, lonely tramp
she had taken to battle do yn her feelings

''Not duck nor darling in it."
added Sue in disgust; "but I'll tell you
now what l did with the other letter
just the same" and she whispered in his
ear.
After freeing the captives Dan went
down stairs, three at time, to the kitchen,
the girls trooping after him as their law
full prey.
There was a steam concert on the
kitchen stove. Pudding, chicken, squash
and cranberries, steaming, stewing, bub-
bling, 'gurgling" with harmony of
sound truly inspiring. Lolly was heap
ing a glass dish with red and russell apples,
Olive beating eggs and butter to froth.
"How is the pig?" inquired Bess.
"Ready for basting," Ietured Olive.
sLet me do it." Sue, spoon in hand,
had opened the oven door.
"Oh, oh! how nice he is browning''
they all exclaimed.
''He looks fit for a marriage feast, "
Dan commented, with sidelong glance
at Olive.
sDo you want to furnish bride?" in
quired Olive.
'No a bridegroom, reioined Dan,
concisely.
esquire Ashton is only waiting" Sue
spoke up pertly.
"Hush, !" said Olive. sSue, shut the
oven door and let the pig sizzle to its
hearts content"
! 81 could furnish better bridegroom
than Squire Ashton" Dan said, mean
ingly, with his weather eye on Olives
face.
81 wish you could head him off in
some way" said Bess, inelegantly. "He
wants to carry Aunt Olive to the house on
the hill, and then goodbye to our fun. >

Heres the summer savory all turned
out on the table, said Olive, unheedine
his remark, as she sat down her bowl Of
froth. "Lolly, what have you done with
the box?'
Never touched it," said Lolly.
Dan was regarding Olive with mix
ture of admiration and affection.
~ tell you what, girls, Aunt Olive Il
pre.tier than any of YOU, he said.
esquire Ashton thinks she is the pinl
of perfection" spoke up Sue.
"Bother Squire Ashton!" Dan took
step toward Olive and kissed her cheek

"You were always my boy, weren't t
you, Dan2" Olive said fondly.
"Alwaysl You stood by me in many
scrape," returned Dan. "Aunt Olive, !"
he continued, sif chum, particular
friend of mine, should happen along
about dinner time would you give him a
welcome and seat at the tablet"
Certainly l should" she returned.
"Your friend would be my friend, of
course"
Dan gave her queer, searching look
"Oh, that's it. The letter said, 'I'll
see you later" commented Clara.
~ thought your letter was from your
best girl, queried Olive.
"From my best friend, {" Dan corrected.
81 want you to like him. He's a big
hearted fellow. Pulled me through a
hard place when he was an utter stran-
ger to me. We got to be chums after
wards"
"Then he is welcome on his own ac-
count, said Olive.
81 hope SO" returned Dan.
''Baste It's time to baste!" cried Sue
as the oven door swung open again.
The girls were detailed to look after
the parlor and dining-room fires and to
set the table. They set up lively chat
! ter, getting in each others way contin-
ually, but what would Thanksgiving be
worth without pleasant hubbub all
round!
You should have seen the table about
3 o'clock, broad and inviting, dinner
dishes with green turbaned groups under
blue palm trees spread over the damask
cloth, and blood-red beets, cranberry
sauce and apples, making dishes of color
all over it. Potatoes, changed from pink
to brown, stood on the platter, garnishcd
crisp and toothsome.
Dams coming friend did not appear,
though place was set for him. But
everything was done to turn and it was
voted they should sit down.
Dan attacked the four-footed dainty
with carving tools, plates were passed
round and filled and dinner went on
swimmingly.
Olive felt uneasy. The moment of
decision was drawing near. Her word
once passed to Squire Ashton, there could
be no backing out She wished she
might remove the day still further. And
yet if she was going to marry him, why

''Did he ever use them for letter

bureau.

"What do you mean?" asked Olive.

with an unconscious face. She had been

THE sHEkELs AND THE CUP.
THANKSGIVING LINES.

THANKSGIVING LINES.
Our grateful songs in rapture rise,
For blessings from propitious skies:
For golden harvests gathered here,
Where plenty's purple banner flies
Unchallenged through the circling year.
For bread the toiler need not lack,
If at the plow he looks not back,
And winnows from the seed the tares.
He'll find the shekels in his sack,
As Jacobs anxious sons found theirs.
Large is the loaf the harvest brings
Feast for a continent of kings
Are we not sovereigns lifted up.
Our nations las the youngest born,
Like Benjamins filled sack of corn,
Contains the shellels and the cup.
Summer on rapid wings has fled,
Leaves that were green are turning red,
The cheerful swallows southwark soar:
But He who gives us daily bread
Has filed our basket and our store.
From teeming fields bronzed labor titled
Our vaults and bins and barns are filled.
And we have learned to toll and trust.
The rain, in plenteous showers distilled,
Fell on the just and the unjust.

There is prejudice in the rural dis
tricts of this State against bachelors, says
the Portland Oregonian. People in every
out-laying settlement are opposed to
bachelors taking up claims in their
vicinity. An exchange says: "There
are some splendid claims on Deadwood
Creek not yet taken, as good as any on
the coast. The citizens want men with
families to settle on them. Three of
these claims were taken by bachelors
last fall. The ladies of Dcadwood passed
resolution placing a three years limit
on celibacy in that district, and provid-
ing all bachelors not married a. the end
of that time be run out Of the settlement
or hanged" Five bachelors moved out,
one got married and two have gone into

the day before he sailed. A messenger
must have brought the note in her alb
scnce, and her father had slipped it be-
tween the pages of Robinson Crusoe"
and forgotten it. What mockery it
was now.
In proportion as Olive became grave
Dan grew hilarious, and with his eye on
her face told sea yarns in such happy
style that the girls giggled until their
sides ached
The November evening closed in with
a snow storm, and lamp was brought
before they got through with the nuts
and raisins.
81 wonder what keeps" Dan was be-
ginning when the knocker sounded.
''There he is now," he finished.
"No, it is Squire Ashton's knock"
said Bess with conviction, as she rose to
open the door and show the Squire into
the parlor.
His arrival was a shock to Olive. The
past had claimed her. The reading of
the letter had made her heartsick. Dan
watched her unquiet face with much
satisfaction as she arose from the table
He followed her to the parlor door.
''Dont you promise to marry Squire
Ashton" he whispered ,nstinctively.
She looked puzzled.
"Go on, said Dan, opening the par
lor door for her. II can trust you."
The Squire stood before the open fire,
holding out his hands to the blaze. He
came toward her.
"You will give me Yes at last" he
said persuasively.
She could not meet his eloquent, ex-
pectant eyes. A great pity for him and
for herself came over her. The old Love
was yet alive. And yet why should che
not hide in the shelter Of this noble heart?
Philip was far away--dead perhaps. The
old, overpowering Loneliness was sweep
ing over her.
''1f you will accept respect and es-
teen for love" she began in trembling
voice.
The knocker sounded double rap,
quick and imperative. Dan had opened
the door. His voice and another sounded
in the hallway. Through the half open
door she could see Dan helping remove
snowy overcoat. His friend had come.
Had Lolly kept the dinner hot?
But the hospitable thought took sudden
flight as she saw who it was that Dan
was ushering in. Philip was before her,
brown, matured, with the same imperi-
Gus manner as of old, the same clear,
flashing eyes.
"Miss Blossom, my chum, Mr.. Ellen
wood, said Dan in high good humor.
Their hands met; their eyes read each
others hearts, as they stood in the fire.
light glow.
Squire Ashton extended his hand.
$50 you have come back to us, Philip"
he said, with brave smile covering the
pain in his heart. He had seen in Olives
face the reason why he had failed to win
her.
eyes, homesickness got the upper
hand of ne at last, returned Philip,
cheerily.
Olive followed the Squire into the
hallway.
81 am very sorry" she began.
"And am glad for you," he said
hastily. II hope you will be very hap
py," and he gave her a brave, warm
hand grasp.
You may guess how they all gathered
round the table again while Philip ate
his dinner. The finding of the letter
was recounted, and Dan confessed that
he and Philip had talked the matter all
over before, and that he had been
prospecting and reporting accordingly.

INSPIRATION.

Narrow and steep the pathway we must
tread,
And even then the crown may be of thorn,
Which all the years thereafter must be
borne,
Till silence numbers us among the dead;
Hard must we toll to win this bitter bread,
And through the clear fash of the radiant
morn,
Oft see the clouds, with edges tempest torn,
Rise in dense gloom, by disappointment led.
Yet is not all this strife better gift
Than aimless wanderings through sunlit
days2
Does not each upward struggle serve to lift
The soul to where Gods clearer radiance
plays,
Till through some stern and rookie mbattled
rift,
We reach at last lffe's firm and level ways?
