about his neck and long kiss Of perfect
love and trust laid on his lips.
The visit of Seth Warner that night,
who entered Familiarity, not noticing a
stranger at first, brought them an unctuous
smile to oil the greeting, which improved
the occasion:
II trust that all are duly thankful for
the blessin's of the year."
God has been very good to u.s." said the
farmer. He has brought Tom back Here's
your old schoolmate, Seth" The man
turned pale as Tom advanced, fascinated
by the glitter of the eye which held him
like that of rattlesnake.
"Whatl not shake hands with an old
friend? Let me introduce you, then, in a
new character" said Tom. Look on him.

nearly ruined my life." and he told the
story, OBTAINING Seth with an iron grip till
he had finished. Then he opened the door
and the hypocrite skunk away like a

Tom continued, with his arm curled around
Kate's waist, here's one who has prom

though. But don't keep it from father and

scarcely 2o) turned away with a grinding
of his teeth and catch Of the breath and
strobe toward the barn to finish up the
evening chores. The bewildered girl was
completely in the dark at these words, and
there was no chance to ask for explanation.
Before morning Tom, who had sat silently
with gloomy face and kissed his mother
over and over with unusual tenderness for
good night, had gone away like thief in the
dark. It had come to Kate afterward that
Tom had loved her with something more
than brothers love, and in the light of
that revelation her innocent heart uncaged
its own shy secret. How could she even

OUR THANKSGIVING BIRDS.

How the Turkey and Ruff1ed Grouse Were
Robbed of Their American Names.
The French have an alliterative catch
phrase in the style of our Crazy Crycroft
caught crate of crinkled crabs" and SINH
lar sentences, and it runs thus:
Ddon dina. dit-on, dun dos dun dodu
dindon.
The English of it is, "Didon dined, they
say, on the back of plump little turkey"
which shows that Didon was in luck, as
well as man of good taste. But the last
word is rather fanciful or poetic, for the
standard French for turkey is 'coq d
Inde," or cock Of India" and this gives
US hint as to how the American bird
came to be called the turkey bird" and
finally the turkey.
The first explorers of the American coast
were SO firmly set in the idea that it was
merely prolongation of eastern Asia that
only repeated disappointments in trying to
get through it and finally sailing around
the southern end of it convinced them that
it was a continent. At first they named
everything according to it's resemblance to
something in India. The people they called
Indians, and the toothsome fowl they
called the Indian cock, and so it is still
called in France. A little later they con
cluded that it came originally from Tur
key, and that name sticks to it. 1t is too
late to change the name now, but we might
compromise by adopting the system of
primitive people (who name each creature
as nearly as possible by the sound it makes)
and call our Thanksgiving bird simply
1.-The gobbler." We could not very well
call the female the 'gobbleress' or the
''gobblerine, but we might. still follow
ing primitive methods, call her the quit,
quit" or "queet-queet," as the nearest tina
human tongue can come to the sound she
makes.
Another American bird, the ruff1ed
grouse, has been robbed of his native citi
zenship and named the pheasant" after
the bird of that name in Asia, but there
are SO many varieties of the grouse that we
can well afford to spare one. The turkey,
however, is ours, and ours only. and really
ought to be renaturalized. J. H. B.
