back in her easy chair in the cheerful sit

ers stood on the mantelshelf; u cracklin'
fire was burnin' in the open fireplace, and
the old tabby cat lay before it on the rug,
purrin' for all she was wuth-a perfect
pictur' of content.
The door was open into the kitchen, and
she could see Mary steppin' round about
her work, gettin' ready for to-morrer.
She could smell the stufin' for the turkey,
and the plum puddin' bakin' in the oven.
She knew there was a hull shelf full O.
pies in the pantry-she see 'em yesterday
six mince, six punkin. three apple an
three cranb'ry tart. She thought it was
too many to make ut once; aud seemed
SO strange. She sighed and laid her head
back, with the old look on her face. She
wa thinkin' Of Ellen and the children.
She sat there, blamin' herself and think
in what a poor, weak kind of a mother
she was, till the tears rolled down her
cheeks. Then, all at once, she heard a
noise outside.
