fire in the little stove, which on this
night proved inadequate to keep the
large room warm.
John, too, was considerably annoyed
at Martha Gates deception. He would
have done anything to spare his wife
the unpleasantness of this ill-advised
Thanksgiving gathering.
IL hope mas satisfied now" said Tom,
sulkily, as he and his sister were getting
ready to go to their rooms.
"She probably u.s." Uttered Susy.
81 think it's SO silly for girl to be
giggling all the time," said Tom.
"And think it's just delightful to
have dear brother find SO much fault
all the time" said Susy.
And even far into the night Mrs Gates
lay wakeful and restless beside her
sleeping husband. Her strong, resolute
spirit was completely humbled. "Oh,
dear Lord" she whispered, IL meant it
all for the best! Amt there no way to
bring EN- together? Oh, make way!"
At last a feeling of sweet peace stole
over her troubled senses and she slept.
She awoke very suddenly. Some one
was moving about in the kitchen. She
could hear the stove covers rafting and
other sounds, then startled voices. She
lit lamp, half dressed herself and en-
tered the kitchen. There were John
and his wife, also half dressed, trying to
give the baby warm drink.
Everything was confusion for little
while. The only thing definitely known
and understood was that the baby was
dangerously i'll.
off posthaste for the doctor. In the
meantime the baby grew less and less
able to breathe.
The young mother was crying pit
eously as she held the baby to her
breast. John walked about the kitchen
in perfectly frenzied condition and
Martha looked on helplessly.
Suddenly a gaunt, stiff form appeared
in the doorway. 1t was Jane.
Don't any of you people know any
thing?" she exclaimed, vigorously.
"That child's got the membraneous

saved baby's life once before the doc
tor came, and reckon I can do it again.
Martha, l want steam. Set the kettles
on boiling and give me steam"
How she did fly around! She made
little bed some way and raised over tia
blanket tent. Then under cover OF the
blanket she slipped the spout OF the tea
kettle, meanwhile ordering them to

place the baby in the bed. Very soon
the little tent was filled with warm,
moist air, and hot poultice was
placed on the child's throat. When the
doctor came the little one was breathing
easily. Jane told him what had been
the condition of the child and just what
she had done and he said, very emphat-
ically and respectfully: Madam, you
have undoubtedly saved the child's life.
l should have come too late"
He remained short time, then left,
and there was q deep silence amid the
little company. The pretty young
mother went up to the stern, lonely old
maid, put her arms around her neck and
sobbed on her breast. "Jane," she said,
dear sister janet"
And John? John was crying like q
big baby, and Martha's eyes shone, and
Martha's lips said: "Oh, Lord, thank
thee!"-Rodney Blake, in American Ag-
riculturist.

Comforting Thoughts.

We are not unmindful that during
the past twelve months many hearth
stones have been left desolate, or that
riches have taken to themselves wings
and plunged the household into pow
erty, or that worse sorrow of dishonor
or disgrace has quenched the light Of
JOY in the once happy home. Such in
deed have tasted of the bitter waters
of Marah, but even these trials may
have been blessings in disguise. The
One who suffers them to be must know
that the discipline, however grievous,
is for good, and in His own good time
He will turn the bitter into sweet and
reveal the well of Elm to the burdened
and despairing soul. Could we but
see with perfect vision in our greatest
SORROWS we might find ourselves encom-
passed with a celestial host sent to min
lister to US in our hour of extremity.
Our journey Heavenward is ever be-
meath the watchful eye of our Father;
if He chastens us it is what we require,
and He loves us too we'll to pass it by;
in every experience He is leading us,
and He will not suffer us to be tried
beyond what we can endure, and in tho
end He will give us comfort and peace.
Let us remember that not one of us
is called to wander alone; the Lord
goes with us step by step ready to bear
our burdens and carry our griefs if we
let Him, and though our eyes may be
tear-dimmed and our voices falter as
we uplift them to God to-day is not
the thought that He never leaves nor
forsakes His children a cause for
praise and thanksgiving? Can we not
then say from the inmost depths of our
hearts:
Praise to Cod Inn ortal praise
For the love that crowns our days?"
Christian Work.

care of him and managed the farm, and
took care of John, till her health give
out an her nerves got all unstrung.
Then she grew awful fretty, an ev'ry-
thing bothered her. An John, he never
understood how it was. An after their
father died they had few words, which
led TO bigger ones, and John called her
a mean, hateful old maid, that the world
would be better off if she was out of it..
and she retorted that that was all the
thanks she got for givin' up ev'rythin'
for him. So they parted. She give
John half of what the place was worth,
an he bought another in Stamford. An
they've never spoke sence. But know
she's most broke her heart over it, an
it's shame"
but how in the world, Marthy," said
Mr.. Gates, "kin you reconcile two peo-

That's jest what I'm goin' to try to

will be kinder embarrassin' at first, but

The unsuspecting brother and sister
both accepted their cousins urgent in
vitation to spend Thanksgivin' with her
family. Poor 'Bijah's heart misgave
him more and more as the time passed

his discouraging thoughts to his
troubled wife, and he felt that it would
not be loyal to her to appear to blame
her to Tom and Susy, so he made fire.
quent confidant of old Sorrel, the horse,
to whom he would shake his head and
say: Il never looked for'ard with dread
to Thanksgivin' day before, Sorrel, an
I hope I never will ag'in."
On Thanksgiving eve, 'Bijah Gates and
his wife were at the depot to meet their
guests. The train from the east came
in and deposited John and his pretty
young wife, and his wonderful baby.
Then the train pulled away westward.
'Bijah placed the three newcomers OH
the back seat, then they waited few
minutes before starting, ostensibly for
from the west slid in.
Now Mrs. Gates heart gave great
jump, and 'Bijah became very nervous
and uneasy. What would Jane say
when they brought her to the carriage,
and she saw who were there?
Mrs. Gates slipped away to meet Jane.
''Thank heaven, it's too dark for her to
see! Now if the train'll only start be-
fore she finds it out! Then she can't
do nothin', but come with us tonight,
anyway, cause there isn't another train
till tomorrow morning"
This train also pulled off. Mrs. Gates
began to feel little shaky, as she es-
cOrted lane fO the carriauo VIVA
would Jane and John do?
'Wall, Jane" said Mr.. Gates, heartily;
"glad we've come. Step right in on the
front seat with Marthy and me-" Then,
with a fast-beating heart, to let her
know who was in the back seat, he
called out: "Now, John, I'll take care
of Jane, an leave you to take care of
your wife an baby"
They felt Jane suddenly start and
then grow rigid, and then felt more and
more sure, as the miserable time passed
on, that she could never forgive them
for their good-intentioned deception.
She would not speak one word on the
way home, but sat upright and notion
less. The others talked to keep up
appearances" but strange wall of ice
seemed to have frozen up between each
one there.
Tom and Susy met them at the door,
filled with mingled humor and appre-
hension. They were too young and in
experienced and thoughtless to feel
tho tragedy in the scene before them.

"You mean all right enough, but it's

"Jest wait and see, 'Bijah."

groaned Farmer Gates. "It's jest rec

"Now see here, 'Bijah Gates" said his
wife, turning around upon him quickly.

this hull business, l reckon it'll all be

pleasant for ev'ry one. Besides, it'll be
queer Thanksgivin' for poor Tom and
Susy, fur we've alwuz had sech good
jolly times on this day. Well all be
like chunks O. ice."
Tom and Susy were as blue as their
father over their mothers decision.
"Lots of fun We'll have" complained
Tom. II don't see what mother can
find in Aunt Jane, a regular straight
laced old maid. Her very looks would
turn sweet milk sour"
II know shall laugh at her." said
Susy. II do just love to do something
little bit improper, just to see how
shocked she looks. She thinks I'm the
boldest, worst-mannered girl she ever
met, know she does. And she thinks
Toms the sulkiest."
"Susy," said Tom, scornfully, 81 do
wish you'd be little more particular
about your grammar. One would sup
pose I was the sulkiest girl she ever
met. Don't underrate my dignity any
more than necessary. It'll be crushed
enough when Aunt Jane comes. She
isn't our aunt, either-only our second
cousin, thank goodness"
ooh, mother" tauntingly cried Susy,
"here's Tom talking about losing his
dignity because my grammar made him
out girl. My goodness! reckon there
isn't any such thing as dignity unless
it's connected with boy, boy"
''Now do stop your quarreling," ex-
claimed Mrs. Gates. Its very strange
that you two can't talk without saying
somethin' hateful to each other.
don't see why you can't behave and
treat each other politely as you do other
peoples brothers and sisters"
But Susy is so unladylike," grum-
bled Tom.
"And Tom is sodignified," sarcastical-
ly retorted Susy, that even his own sis
ter can't touch him with a ten-foot
pole!"
Besides" said Mrs. Gates, severely,
"Aunt James had enough to make her
stern and unloving. She was pretty
girl when her mother died and left John,
only three years old. She was goin' to
be married, but gave that and every
thing all up, to make home for her
father and John. Then her father got
sick with old-fashioned consumption,
