"Well, it does seem good, must say"
said Miss Hannah, setting the fowl and
some old pans beside her companion,

going on and to speak word back to

say something bright not to have a soul

Amid this unusual ripple of talk a
small boy made his appearance, with
wondering eyes, and nose tilted high as

"Yes'm." the boy returned promptly,
holding out grimy envelope. Here,
ma sent you your int'rest," and then his
eyes wandered to the steaming pies just
placed on the table. with look that
told how his boyish mouth watered for
them.
Miss Hannah drew her second pair of
glasses down from her forehead to their
proper position, and, opening the en-
velope, counted the money.
Three twos is six. and four ones and
six make ten, and two silver ones make

and the boy with scant thank you"
slowly backed out the door, beginning,
however, u quick run as soon as he was
outside the gate.
"Seraphll hear all about it now,'
Miss Hannah said to herself.
But some way the work went on more
quietly after this. The truth was. the
t;mid little Cynthy Ann was making up
her mind to the doing of disagreeable
duty.
Hannah" she broke out at last
"ain't you going 20 invite Seraph and
her family here to Thanksgiving? You

I'm thinking of it, yes" was the
answer that almost took her breath
away.

stretched for human need. The Lord
will never accept any halt or halfway
sacrifice. Go to your knees, and then
work to see what you can bring Him."
Now Miss Hannah had kept Thanks

that she had been left alone on the
small, rocky, mountain farm. Livery
year this had been we'll titled and cared
for, and brought in sufficient for her
moderate needs, and little to place in
the bank against the rainy day of old
age and intirmities. For this she had
sat down to her solitary board, where n
stuffed rooster with cranberry sauce
and vegetables and pumpkin and apple
pie were spread, and gave thanks. She
never thought of going further than
herself. When her cousin Sernph, who
had been the only companion of her
lonely childhood, had married. against
her express wish, that shiftless Joe
Parker" she simply "let her go her own
way"
The neighbors called her hard" and
so she was. What was the matter to-
day? She was growing old-56 last
midsummer. Perhaps her mind was
weakening.
She had never noticed before how
lonely the small, weather-stained house
looked as she turned in at her own
gate. How would it seem to have a
face smiling a welcome from the win
dow-or some one watching at the
door?
She put up" Tom. made her cup of
tea and ate her cold ham and bread
but it did not refresh her.

marked to herself. land l suppose I'll

You haven't got bit of it in your heart,
and you know yon haven't. You are a

You don't love anybody but yourself.
and may the Lord help you! I'm n
pretty halt and poor thing to offer. but

lead me awhile" she whispered softly
with the fading shadows, and then
came peace.
The next morning Miss Hannah was
up betimcs, and her small washing
waved in the earliest breeze. That was
nothing unusual. but the trip that she
took with Tom, soon after, was more
so. There was n smile as she passed
the rickcty house and weedy cornfield,
but no stop until they reached the town

Something Beyond.

Nothing is so satisfying as the un-
attained. If the microscope were to
find the ultimate atom, and the tele-
scope to reach to a boundary wall to
space, how pitifully impoverished life
would be! If God were wholly known,
and His Word fully understood. how
paralyzed man would become by the
disclosure that there was nothing be-
yond Him! A lady at summer re-
sort, speaking anxiously to a friend
about a young relative, said: He is
discontented, growing, unhappy. and
yet he has everything in this world"
But there was his trouble-he had
everything. Life has no zest when it
has no realization of the unattained.
The man who knows all. who has all,
and who is entirely self-sufficient. has
never had the satisfaction of coming
into ideal possession of the splendor of
the infinite; he has never reached out
and taken hold of the beyond. Let us
at this Thanksgiving season praise
God for the unmeasured and unat-
tained. In this is our stimulus to ac-
tivity, our promise of growth and our
sufficient reason for living.-S. S. Times.

but clean--and hungry. THE four chill
dren really seemed hollow, clear to their
boots" as Miss Hannah said afterward.
But that was after she had had the
pleasure of filling them up. Then when
they had gone out into the soft Indian
summer for a play, the three elders
drew their chairs together, and talked,
at first hesitantly, then more and more
earnestly, drifting back to the days of
their childhood and youth, when they,
too, had dreamed and hoped and
planned. And as they talked the tones
grew softer, sometimes even tremulous.
"I should have prayed to die long
ago." the sad-eyed mother said, "if it
hadn't been for the children. l amt of
much use to them though. Nothing but
al old string that holds them together"
"I am not even an old string" Miss
Hannah said, "but Sereph, I'll join
myself to you after this, and
wen tie together" and then some
way, the two wrinkled hands came
together in a long clasp; and then,
presently, there was slipped from one
to the other, the same grimy envelope
Benny had brought.
II never meant to keep it," Miss Han
nah said. Get a comfortable shawl, or
shingles, or anything. And the note,
Seraph; see; it won't ever trouble you
any MORE" and lifting the stove lid,
Miss Hannah laid on the Goals yellow
paper, that both watched shrivel to
ashes. You see, Seraph, I'm bound to
have one real Thanksgiving while I'm
-, hn Aaeh. nH CT I oI . ha
Lord about it, He seems to open the way
wider and wider, till L most feel as
though l should be n singer yet and
player of instruments, I'm getting so
full. Cynthy AIMS going to stay, so Ill
have face looking out of the window
for me, and that Ruth of yours must
have some doctoring; and Benny's
bright and will pay for schooling; and
Sammy, too; and as for little Katy
well-she's just as cunning as need be.
Think of her bringing me a bouquet.
Out of her own head, too. Seraph, l
guess you've seen your worst days.
When the Lord really calls on Hannah
Litchfield to help do a thing, She usually
expects to hold up her end to the best of
her ability. And she's going to now"
The voices dropped into silence. The
short day was dying in the west in a.
flush of golden glory, through which
the sun sent back his rosy promises of
another perfect coming. The children
came through the gate and up the walk.
"And l shall call her Aunt Hannah"
little Katy was piping in her childish
treble, "'cause she's just the sweetest
I aI I 90"
Sweetest" and Miss Hannah's lip
curled scornfully. then gently softened
into a smile. well, let her think so.
The Lord and little child may make
her so yet. They have done many
miracle in this world"
The flush in the west deepened to
purple, then faded into somber gray.
The mountain side was lost in shadows.
The children, tired with play. dropped
down on the broad door stone and
talked softly. And within, three
women. worn and weary in many bat
tie of life, sat close together, and each
heart sent up voice of thanksgiv-
ing for the gifts of Love the day had
brought.-Howe Benning, in Chicago

mo, amt, not bit; but told you,
didn't l, that the Lord was leading
me to see duties. 1 amt no believer in
signs and things, Cynthy Ann" Miss
Hannah went on after little, but last
Sunday, I'm free to tell you, j was
troubled in my mind beyond anything
remember before. even when was
converted, and l asked the Lord for
sign; and then L put my finger in the
Bible and opened it, and what / read
was, in Deuteronomy, like this: that if
there was a poor man among our
brethren. or needy, we was to open our
hand and to give to him. And now I
don't dare do anything else, you see"
and Miss Hannah really looked relieved
at this confession of faith"
THE Lord be praised!" calculated
Cynthy Ann; it seemed to be way of
hers. "Have you invited them yet"
NO" curtly.
"Oh! wouldn't they enjoy thinking of
it. and kind of getting ready?" she
ulged, timidly.
| "Cyntby Ann, ana MISS Hannah spoke
slowly. II do not think best to make
it too easy and pleasant. Sarah was a
member, and she had no right to marry
man who wasn't. She must suffer for
her sin still. / shall not invite her until
Wednesday afternoon"
If we could imagine an "avenging
angel" with thin, gray hair drawn into
a tight pug, two pair of spectacles
pushed high on forehead, and lips set
close, Miss Hannah might have served
for the character at that moment. But
in spite of herself she grew gentler with
every hour until Thanksgiving. One
cannot cherish love in the heart with
out its showing, of course. 1t was like
the asters Seraph's youngest girl
brought. all the choicer for being so
late.
For they all came, of course, shabby
