it, and once she handed it to a neigh
boris son for his inspection. When he
gave it back to her he placed it on her
finger, sighed and pressed her hand.
Della snatched her hand away and look
ed up quickly, only to find Dick Hosea 8
eyes fixed upon her. As the neighbours
son withdrew Dick stepped up.
Don't take off that ring again, Del
la he said shortly. IF you do you
will lose it. and / shall not forgive you. !"
Encouraged by the spirit Of fun, ana
feeling that the others were watching
her Della retorted:
Il shall take the ring off again, if |
please. and here she hesitated, but,
catching the laughing eyes of the
neighbours SON, added, land l don't care
if do lose it,
Of course she did not mean it, but the
words were spoken.
The games became more boisterous,
and Della and Dick led many merry
party round the house to the chestnut
trees and back into the apple orchard,
carrying out the Thanksgiving fun.
1t was late when Dick put Della into
her fathers sleigh and jumped in beside
her. But as he did SO he whispered
Della, have you got your ring?
And Della, touching her finger, felt
that the ring was gone.
The next day Dick Hosea surprised
his father by asking for furlough from
farm work long enough to make trip
to Alaska; and Farmer Hosea, who de-
MED his son nothing, hesitated only a
minute, then gave generous check and
his permission to remain away as long
as Dick thought best. To be sure, he
wondered why Dick did it. sAnd once
he asked about Della, but the young
man made no satisfactory reply.
A year had sped away since that
last happy gathering at Farmer Ho-
| seas manor, and again the good old
parson was announcing from the high
pulpit day of Thanksgiving, reunion
and prayer. Della Dingley was there
and heard him, but she buried her face
in her handkerchief and sat notion
less through the whispering that fol-
lowed while the other notices were be-
ing read.
Contrary to the expectations of the
Dingley family, Della and all the rest
were invited to dine at Farmer
Hoseas that Thanksgiving, and to en-
phasize the invitation Farmer Hosea
and wife came themselves to invite

Mayflower Pilgrims.
Dick Hosea had been to an agricul-
tural college in Wisconsin, and knew
mere about politics and farming his
United States
The belle of these White Mountain
rigions was Della Dingley, beautiful
girl, the daughter of neighboring
house. Della had been to Mount Holy
oke and had come back knowing cook
cry and trigonometry. And, what was
of more importance to this Massachu-
sets section, she had come back with
the heart of Dick Hosea in her keeping
sent to her in the numerous letters
Dick had written Della while she was
away at school. Yes, Della and Dick
were engaged to be married.
There was to be special reunion al
Farmer Hosea's abundant farmhouse
this Thanksgiving Day, for it was at
this time that the engagement of the
young people was to he formally an
nounced 1t had been limited at before
but now the relatives knew that the
time had come for the formal an
nouncement. They guessed it from the
hints thrown by Mrs. Hosea, when she
invited them to the annual reunion
And they more than guessed 1t from
the gruff happiness of Farmer Hosea
at the prospective Thanksgiving din
ner.
On Thanksgiving Day, when the
wagons rolled up to Farmer Hosea S
front door, depositing their loads OF
guests, Della Dingley stood inside the
front door in good New England style
assisting Mrs. Hosea in the hand
shaking and pointing the guests up
stairs, where they could remove theil
hats and make ready for the feast Or
Della's hand there shone big solitaire
and when congratulated upon her en-
gagement she smiled and twirled the
ring with blushing pleasure.
After dinner Farmer Hosea rose an1

of his beloved son Dick to Della Ding

England cider drank the health of the
prospective bride and congratulations
to the fortunate Dick.
This form8lity soon broke up in {

they could now mention freely.
