scene of Johns labors and watched the
chips fly from the sticks with delight.
They seemed to fly all the faster the
longer he watched them; but John
paid no attention to his childish prattle
and his dark, scowling face soon drove
him away.
It was quite fortnight after
Thanksgiving Day. The weather had
been threatening for several days and
the wiseacres declared a heavy storm
brewing. John loaded up the wood
team during the forenoon with stove
wood for the old lady who did his
mending and washing. This was how
he partly paid her for the work. Al
he climbed aboard and gathered ur

of the house.

"Not on top of this load. Yor

draw it," growled John sarcastically.
But Billy took the reply in perfect
good faith.
"Can ride back when the teams
empty?" he asked.
John growled something which
might have meant yes, or nothing,
and drove ont of the yard. Billy
started bravely in the rear, although
it was quite two miles to Mrs. Peck
hams. 1t was terribly cold and John
turned up the collar of his rough coat
and chirruped to the horses. The
wheels creaked most musically over
the hard snow and the little figure
trudged sturdily along in the rear.
Billy's short legs could not keep pace
with the strides of the farmhorses and
he gradually fell behind. John looked
back at him with scowl and started

Giant though he was in strength and
endurance he had to fight for each
step of the way. 1t was only by the
aid and direction of higher power
than his own that he at last reached
the farmhouse and was helped inside
by the anxious men who had been
driven back from the search some time
before by the gale.
He had very dim recollection a
to how he got there, but some time
later he found himself lying on the old
settle in the chimney corner with his
father holding bowl of some hot de-
coction to his lips. He epushed it away
and looked across the hearth to where
his stepmother, fearful and smiling,
was holding little Billy in her arms.

Farmer Brands old age and before he
was two years old completely owned
the entire house and its contents
except John Brand. No amount Of
coaxing baby ways won his heart.
John simply hated him the more for
being so pretty and sweet-tempered.
He would not even touch the child.
All the bitterness he had cherished
for these. six long years filled his heart
on this Thanksgiving morning as he
stood gazing after the departing
wagon. There had been nothing to
keep him at home from the Thanks
giving merrymaking except his own
ugly feelings, for the farm work was
all finished and everything made ship
shape for winter. There was wood
enough cut already to last an ordin-
ary lifetime, but there was a certain
fierce pleasure for him in forcing the
axe into the knotty sticks.
He worked moodily on till noon,
then fed the stock, and after locking
the house went down to the village
tavern and eat his dinner there.
1t was almost dark when he returned
to the farmhouse. He did the chores
and went to bed before the others ar
rived-little Billy wild with delight
over the festivities of the day, Mrs.
Brand smiling and happy, and her
husband with sore spot in his old
heart for his eldest son.
Winter came quickly after that
Thanksgiving. The snow wrapped
everything in its feecy covering,
drifted over fences and across the pub
lie roads, became crusted hard and
showed again. repeating the perform
ance uutil it lay three or four feet
deep all over the country side. Farmer
Brand shelled corn or smoothed axe
helves and hoe handles in the kitchen
corner; John chopped wood all day
long as though he had taken q con-
tract to supply the whole village with
kindling; little Billy, with Guard, the
Scotch collie, played in the snow and
came in rosy-cheeked and painting
after his frolic with never suspicion
of ''croup"-that bane of children
who are brought up like hot house
plants.
Sometimes Billy stopped near the

the horses into brisk trot. Before
many minutes turn in the road hid
the little fellow from sight.
''Little fool he'll soon get sick OF
it," muttered John and thought no
more about the child.
At noon when he arrived home Billy
was not about. He had not seen him
on the way and decided that the little
fellow had become discouraged and
gone back again. But he was not
about the house, as he soon discov-
cred.
'Have you seen Billy?" asked his
step-mother, as John came in to din
ner.
He growled out a negative and sat
down to the table. His father was al
ready out hunting for the boy and
after putting the food on the table
Mrs. Brand threw shawl over her
head and went outside, too. 1t was
bitter cold and the first snow flakes of
the coming storm were in the air.
John eat his dinner moodily and ap-
parently undisturbed.
"Riah says she thought he followed
you when you went to old Mis- Peck
hams, john" said his father, coming
in after an unsuccessful search of the
premises. s'Didn't you see him?"
stNo, / haven't seen the brat |" re-
sponded his son, surlily.
Mrs. Brand began to cry and the
old mans weather beaten face worked
pitifully as he said in broken voice
''Don't take on SO, 'Riah. I'll get
the neighbors reused and we'll find
him, SO don't you worry"
He hurried out on this mission and
John soon followed him, unable to
stand the accusing looks of his step
mother.
A half-dozen neighbors responded
to the call for searchers and started
out in different directions, expecting
to find the child somewhere near the
house. He certainly couldn't have
gone far in the snow. John attacked
the woodpile more fercely than ever,
feeling as though every blow of his
axe was cutting the threads which
bound little Billy to this life. The
