Jamie went from the farm straight to
a store near the railroad, where he
bought six 1ishhooks and a long line
and a bamboo rod. Then he purchased
some crackers and cheese for supper,
and before it was fairly dark he lay
fast asleep in the haymow of a barn
near by. Half an hour after ne aWOke
next morning he was sitting in the
branches of a tree on Peters farm. He
had cut the fishing line into five pieces,
and on one end OF each piece had fas-
tened hook baited, not with worm or
grub. but with TWO or three kernels Of
corn. And the other ends of the five
lines were tied hard and fast to the
pole. the butt OF which Jamie held
firmly as he sat W there in the tree.
Another curious thing was that some
one had SDrinkled corn from the tree
to the pens where the turkeys and
ducks were kept: and some one had
actually opened the pens. Lastly, about
fifty turkeys and sixty chickens were
lighting each other in efforts TO gobble
the corn. and they were coming from
the pens toward the tree as fast as they
could swallow the kernels. Jamie hap
pened to look far across the fields. and
saw Peter and his wife and son drive
off down the road before he had dared
TO try his plan. They were taking the
black dog with them, too. and nobody
was left at home
There was a sudden tug at his pole,
so heavy that he was almost pulled out
OF the tree. Then there was another
and another until three turkeys and
TWO chickens were squawking and flap
ping around on the ground, as if they
had suddenly gone crazy-for in swal-
lowing kernels of corn each one of them
mad swallowed a fishhook Jamie
braced his feet against the trunk of the
tree and held to the pole for dear life,
while turkeys and chickens fought and
Topped and gobbled and squawked in
the most fearful manner. Then, with
out warning. they ceased their noise
and stood perfectly still in a circle.

the ground, still holding fast to his
pole. Then he wrung the neck of one
fowl after another and tied them to-
gether and, putting the heavy weight
on his back. started for the nearer rail
road station as fast as he could go.
1t was not very long after this that
a carriage pulled by two splendid bay
horses came down the road from the
opposite direction. A coachman sat on
the box, and within the carriage was a
lady dressed in black, which made the
gray streaks in her hair look almost
white. a heavy veil covered her face.

eyes as she leaned her head back

Mrs. Dugin grew strong and we'll in a
few weeks, and as she had been a fine
butter maker in England before she
married her sailor husband, the beauti-
full lady took her out to New Jersey
and gave her a little cottage to live in
on one part of her great estate. Dur
ing the summer Jamie helps take care
of the poultry there, but in winter he
and Mary attend the school which the
beautiful lady has started for the chill
dren of her tenants. And you may be
sure that they and little Sunshine are
having a much happier Thanksgiving
week this year than last.

Jamie Dugin stood on the platform
of a little railroad station far out in
the farming regions Of New Jersey He
was a pale, thin little fellow of II
years, although he looked much young
er tnaH that. And he had come from
New York in order to buy turkey for
Thanksgiving day OF course. he could
nave purchased one in New York. but
he had very little nloney-less than a
dolla1-and a big policeman had told
MN he could get a turkey very much
cheaper on farm than in a great city
market.
Jamie lived with his mother and his
sister Mary, and the baby, Sunshine: in
one OF the great, high tenements on the
east side, where poor people have
their homes, and where they crowd in
such great numbers that they never vet
have been counted His father had been
drowned at sea two years previous.
ana, TO make matters worse, his mother
was sick in hospital, and there was
NOBODY to take care of the little girls
out himself. There was nobody else at
the railroad station, but the conductor
OF the train had told him that a man
named Peter kept a farm down the
road, and that he sold turkeys and
chickens.
And that's where I'll co. said the

were kept, and Jamies feet were blis-
tered and sore by the time he arrived.
Hardly mad he walked in the front
gate however, when a great black
dog, growing and swapping and show
ing his teeth, came bounding across the
aooryard. OF course, Jamie was fright
ened, and he climbed into the branches
OF an apple tree as quickly as if he
were monkey. The little boy. trem-

was SO intently watching the dog that
he did not notice the approach of a
short, heavily-built man with bushv
hair and a thick, red beard. who kicked
the dog until the poor animal howIed
with pain and skunk away When the
dog really had gone, however, Jamie
was not so frightened. and he called
out:
Are you Mister Peter?"
Yes, am" the red-bearded man
answered, looking up in the tree. Then
he caught sight of the boys torn cloth
ing and old shoes. and he flew into a
passion, shouting:
Come out o. that. YOU Young traronf
Git down here quick. or I'll tear the
tree up by the roots and slam We
down."

this angry man than of the dog but he

learned a great many useful things;
and one of them was the folly of let

are. So, instead OF coming down to
the ground at once, he sat perfectly
still for moment, and then asked, as
calmly as he could:

your customers?'

deeply. Then he spoke again:

Yes said Peter; but it amt no

When Jamie opened his eyes he was
somewhat surprised, for he lay on a
couch IN a room filed with sunshine
and pictures and curtains, and a beau
tiful lady was Sitting beside him, while
two other ladies (only they wore white
caps and spotless cuf1s) were doing this
and that about the room The bows
head was still somewhat dizzy from
Peters cruel blow, so the beautiful lady
only smiled when he said family, and
asked anXiously:
Where are they? Where are the
turkeys an chickensl Oh, Mary and.
Baby Sunshine won't have no Thanks
giving after all!'
Weak and half sick, Jamie sank to
the couch, and buried his head, so the
beautiful lady wouldn't see him cry
ing tears down his cheeks" as he
would have said. The beautiful lady
sIoked his hair with her soft white
hand, and spoke to him soothingly, so
pretty soon he ceased sobbing, and
told her all about himself and about
Mary and Baby Sunshine waiting for
their Thanksgiving dinner, and about
his mother, sick in the hospital uptown.
Now, the beautiful lady was a very
wise lady, and almost before Jamie had
finished she had ordered her carriage
in haS-e. Then she directed one of the
maid servants to make ready to start
with her at once for New York and she
ordered a man to accompany them, and
she left a note for her husband, the
judge, saying she had gone on an err
rand of mercy, and expected to be home
late on the theatre train that night.
When they stepped out of the ferry
house in New York, Jamie and the
beautiful lady and the maid stepped in
side a carriage, while the man sat out
side next to the cCachman and thus
they were driven to the tenement in
Eldridge street, where Mary and Baby
Sunshine were waiting.
1t was almost dark when they
reached the tall, crowded tenement, but
the beautiful lady and her servants fol-
lowed the little boy under the arch and
through the court yard to the rear ten
ement, and up one long fight of stairs
after another to the very highest story,
where they found the little sisters eat
ing bread and bologna sausage for sup
per. And not until then did Jamie no
tice that the lady's man carried
square basket with two covers; and he
was so busy explaining everything to
Mary and Sunshine that he didn't see
the ladys maid unpack the hamper
until the table was covered with q
white cloth, and on it were placed
knives and forks and spoons and
glasses
There was a plate of cold tongue at
one end of the table and white bread
near by, and a nice pat Of yellow but
ter and another of honey and three
great sealed bottles of milk. Then they
sat down to such a meal as the chill
dren had ndt eaten for long time. Be

found out just where JAMES mother
was, and she wrote her d letter, saying /
