: A THANKSGIVING SACRIFICE.
z}sszszs

And Dayrel turned away and re-
sumed the slow, measured walk up
and down the upper deck, which his
casual meeting with Amyescourt had
interrupted.
And all this time the Forest Queen
was plowing the yeasty tides nearer
and more near home.
Captain Ross had calculated that
the brisk little craft would ride into
the rock-bound harbor of the Maine
port to which they were consigned
early on Thanksgiving morning.
"It'll be close run," said he; "but
somehow I don't like the idea OF
spending my Thanksgiving on ship
board. 1t isn't orthodox, as Deacon
Posey would say" And the captain
laughed.
And just at the gray break of dawn,
when they could almost hear the
church bells ring through the fog and
darkness, there went thrill and
quiver through the Forest Queen from
stem to stern-a sudden pulse, like
the beating of a heart. Guy Dayrel
started up in his berth and tapped at
the board partition which separated
his sleeping quarters from those of his
nearest neighbor.

FIRST THANKSGIVING DINNER.

indian Chiefs Were Hospitality Enter
tanned by Pilgrim Fathers.
The first Thanksgiving was ap-
pointed by Governor Bradford, at Ply
mouth, Massachusetts, in 1921, the
year following the landing of the Pill
grims, in order that the Colonists in
more special way could rejoice together
at having all things in good and plen-
ty, writes Clifford Howard, i'll the
Ladies' Home Journal. In prepara-
ton for the feast ''gunners were sent
into the woods for wild turkeys, which
abounded there in great numbers;
kitchens were made ready for prepar-
ing the feast-especially the large one
in Dame Brewster's house, which was
under the immediate direction and
charge of Priscilla Molines, she who
afterward became the wife of John
Alden-while messenger was dis
patched to invite Massasoit, the chief
of the friendly tribe, to attend the cell
ebration.
"Early on the morning of the ap-
pointed Thursday-about the first of
November -Massasoit and ninety OF
his warriors arrived on the outskirts OF
the village, and with wild yells an
nounced their readiness to enjoy the
hospitality of their white brethren.
The little settlement, which now con-
sisted of seven dwellings and four
public buildings, was soon astir with
men, women and children, who gave
the Indians a hearty welcome as they
filed into the large square IN front OF
the Governor house. Soon the roll
of a drum announced the hour OF
prayer, for no day was begun without
this religious service. Then followed
holiday of feasting and recreation,
which continued not only that day but
during the two succeeding days. The
usual routine of duties was suspended;
the children romped about in merry
play; the young men indulged in ath-
letic sports and games in friendly
rivalry with the Indians; the little
American army of twenty men, under
the leadership of Miles Standish, went
through its drill and manual of arms,
to the great delight and astonishment
of the natives, while the women busted
themselves in the careful preparation
of the excellent meals, which were
eaten in the open air. "

pointed out splendid shot to him,
but his eyes were stubborn and he
could not see the turkey we had Sc
lected for him. One moment he
would see him, and, when we were
oil ready, he would say "Wait," in a
stage whisper. The turkeys had dis
covered that something was wrong,
and were sounding their signals OF
alarm in shrill ''pits" and 'puts."
We were especially anxious for the
boy to bag turkey, as he had never
killed one. When we did get ready to
shoot, my neck was almost broken. AS
the four reports rang out in concert,
two fine turkeys, a gobbler and hen,
fell to the ground, the victims of my
brother and nephew, The rest of the
flock flew away in the widest alarm.
Everybody has seen gobbler strut,
but the pride of the male turkey was
surpassed by my nephew that morn
ing, as he shouldered his first turkey.

"Aymescourt" he cried, "wake up!
There is something wrongW
Aymescourt started from his dreams.
"Wrong! What is it?"
s'We have run aground somewhere,
or struck rock. Stop-don't ask
any more questions. Keep your
breath and strength; they Will both
be needed. Dress as quickly as you
can.
When Aymescourt came on deck,
amid the darkness and chill and con-
fusion, he could learn only one fact
that the ship had struck rock, and
was fast leaking away her life.
"But you needn't be SO alarmed,
ma'am," said the captain, to pale
young mother, who was kneeling on
the floor of the deck, with her arms
round both her children. 1--WE can't
be far off Wayne's Beach, and our
sailors would know the way through
these shoals if you were to blindfold
'em. We have two good life boats
It's only leaving the Queen to go
down by herself"
The captain rubbed his shaggy
sleeve lightly across his eyes as he
spoke, and then turned away to issue
the necessary orders.

tipping the waves with crests of car

George Vassar had become deadly
pale-he clasped his hand to his eyes.
''May God have mercy on Mary and

With sudden movement, Guy Day
rel swung himself past Aymescourt
once more, on to the deck of the fast
settling ship.
"Mr. Vassar," he said quietly, "take

There was crash and splintering of
the timbers, as Dayrel almost pushed
Vassar into the boat. The Forest
Queen settled lower and lower, and
went down in the very sight of the
horror stricken survivors.
George Vassar sat at his Thanksgiv-
ing board that afternoon, with red and
white chrysanthemums decking the
feast, and wreaths of autumn leaves
rivalling the coral shine of the red en-
bers on the hearth-sat with wife and
little ones at his side, and warmth and

For the breath and the sunlight of life
For the love Of the child, and the kiss
On the lips Of the mother and wife.

For roses entwining,
For birds and for bloom;
And hopes that are shining
Like stars in the gloom.
For what are we thankful? For this:
The strength and the patience of toll;
For even the joys that we miss
The hope Of the seed in the soil.
For souls that are winter
From day unto day;
And lives that are brighter
From going Gods way.

Were we brave or only fool hardy to

or course it does not become us under
the circumstances to enter into the dis
cussion as to delegates pay ing their own
expenses: but it is doubtful as to invita-
tions being extended in the future, on
that account, since the number Of clubs
has increased so largely. A plan adopted
