When the Lord really calls on Hannah
Litchfield to-help do 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
lady l most ever see."
"Sweetest!" and Miss Hannah's lip
curied scornfully. then gently softened
into a smile. We'll, 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 a 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 a voice of thanksgiv-
ing for the gifts of Love the day had
brought-Howe Benning, in Chicago

Something Beyond.

Nothing is SO satisfying as the IN
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,
md 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
disconnected, 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 comm g
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-
tanned. In this is our stimulus to ac-
tivity, our promise of growth and our
sufficient reason for living.-S. S. Times.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1897-11-25

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 INSTANTLY, 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.
Il 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
an old string that holds them together"
Il am not even an old string" Miss
Hannah said, but Sereph, I'll join
myself to you after this, and
we'll tie together" and then some
way, the two wrinkled hands came
together in long clasp; and then,
presently, there was slipped from one
to the other, the same grimy envelope
Benny had brought.
Il never meant to keep it," Miss Han
nah said. Get 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
in the flesh; and ever since 1 asked the
Lord about it, He seems to open the way
wider and wider, till l most feel as
though 1 should be a singer yet and a
player Of instruments, I'm getting so
full. Cynthy AIMS going to stay, SO I'll
shave a face looking out of the window
for me, and that Ruth of yours must
have some doctoring; and Benny
bright and will pay for schooling; and
Sammy, too; and as for little Katy

ITO be out of sound of Marin Becker's
Thanksgiving dinner. | haven't seen

turned Miss Hannah shortly, "but
that's as deep as it went, l guess. |
mean to feel it this time"
Let me pick that rooster, Hannah, -
Cynthy Ann said the next morning as
It's Just what I'm fit for, sittin' down
job. And it makes me think of ma,
more'n so years ago, and how she'd say:
Now, Cynthy Ann, you may look out
the pin feathers, and mind you don't
leave one large enough for grandma's
sharpest glasses to spy All, knew
what good times meant in those days."
well, it does seem good, must say"
said Miss Hannah, setting the fowl and
some old pans beside her companion.
Ito have somebody interested in what's
going on and to speak a word back to
you. It's dreadful lonesome when you
say something bright not to have a soul
to know it. Well now, you feather him,
and I'll go right to stirring up mince
meat and making those pies. They're
better, 1 think, kept few days, don't
you? And I'll put on the cranberries
and let 'em stew slow and all down to
Jelly. Some folks just cook 'em up like
apple sass and leave it. Bah! 'Tain't
fit to eat. Folks used to know how to
cook, Cynthy Ann-at Thanksgiving
time anyway"
Amid this unusual ripple of talk q
small boy made his appearance, with
wondering eyes, and nose tilted high as
though to take up all the savory odors
that filled the kitchen air.
"Oh, it's you, is it, Benny?" Miss Han
nah said, peering over her glasses.
'1 cs'm," the boy returned promptly,
holding out a grimy envelope. Here,
ma sent you your interest" and then his
eyes wandered to the steaming pies just
placed on the table, with a 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
H." Then she counted it over, begin
ming with the silver this time. It's
all right" she announced then, slipping
the envelope into her pocket. You can
go now, and tell your ma so. Here, you
can have an apple to eat on the way"
and the boy with a scant thank you,'
slowly backed out the door, beginning,
however, q quick run as soon as he was
outside the gate.
''Seraph1l 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 to invite Seraph and
her family here to Thanksgiving? You
and 1 can't ever eat all this stuff
I'm thinking of it, yes" was the
answer that almost took her breath
away.
"Oh, I knew it! 1 knew you would,
Hannah! You're too good to hold spite
longer"
No, I amt, not a bit; but told you,
didn't I, that the Lord was a leading
me to see duties. l amt no believer in
signs and things, Cynthy Ann" Miss
Hannah went on after little, ''but last
Sunday, I'm free to tell you, | was
troubled in my mind beyond anything
[ remember before, even when l was
converted, and [ asked the Lord for a
sign; and then [ put my finger in the
Bible and opened it, and what l read
was, in Deuteronomy, like this: that if
there was poor man among our
brethren, or needy, we was to open our
hand and to give TO him. And now /
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 YETI"
NO" CURLY.
"Oh! wouldn't they enjoy thinking of
il, and kind of getting ready?" she
urged, timidly.
"Cynthy Ann" and Miss Hannah spoke
slowly, Il 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
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
il 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 SeraIh's youngest girl
brought, all the choicer for being so
late.
For they all came, of course, shabby

pie were spread, and gave thanks. She
never thought Of going further than
herself. When her cousin Seraph, 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 OWL
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 q
face smiling 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.
THAT black rooster'Il weigh seven
pounds if he does an ounce" she re.
marked to herself, "and 1 suppose II

pretty halt and poor thing to offer, but
l guess I'll have to give up, and let Hin
lead me awhile" she whispered softly
with the fading shadows, and then
came peace.
The next morning Miss Hannah was
up betimes, 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 a smile as she passed
the rickety house and weedy cornfeld
but no stop until they reached the town
poorhouse, standing bare and unshut-
tered, on it's bleak hillside.

Cynthy Ann, and stay awhile" Miss
Hannah said to gentle, faded little

"Are you "-illing?"
THE Lord be praised!" was the an
swer given through tears. 'He knew
twas hard trusting Him in this place
SO He's going to brighten it up for me. -
"And you are not coming back again,
not while I live" Miss Hannah said, as
they wound their way among the hills
'You can't exactly be said to be a rela-
tive, though my grandfather's wife was
your step-grandfather's sister. But it's
been given to me to see that it's nigh
enough relation for the Lord to find a
duty in it. And, Cynthy Ann, now that
I'm getting old and gray, I guess it's
about time for me to be looking up my
duties" she admitted, grimly.
That was all the confession Miss Han
nah could be expected to make. Her
nature would be one rather to do than
to talk.
And all that day and the two follow
ing the small, tidy house witnessed
such life and activity as it had not seen
Tor many year.
ut seems too good to be true" Gym
thy Ann said that afternoon, as she sat
