me through this difficulty
Still the fact remained that he didn't
know where he was going to get his
Thanksgiving dinner, or, what was
still more important, how he was going
to get ticket for the Yale. Harvard
football match.
At first he let his mind dwell on the
Thanksgiving days he had spent in the
past, and then he gradually veered
around to those he had seen described in
stories, but he could find no connection
between his present case and any he
had experienced or seen described.
elm the stories I have read" he
thought to himself, "some miserly mil.
lionaire is always made happy by hav-
ing his flinty heart softened SO that he
spends much money in charity. Now,
being poor, ] am just in the position to
make a misery rich man happy by let
ting him help me. :"
A few minutes more of reflection
made the whimsicality of the idea de-
lightful, and he decided to act on it.
But the first thing to do was to catch
his millionaire. Stepping into hotel

men, in which those ever interesting in

their plans for Thanksgiving day. He
read:

"He'll do, said the Young Man to

and the result is that all the feelings
OF your boyhood are imprisoned in your

give that boy a holiday?"
Mr.. Putancall wavered, recovered
himself, then hesitated again, and when
he looked into the frank, good humored
eyes that were watching him, he yield
ed completely. He was experienced
enough in the world to know that their
honesty was unmistakable. Grasping
the proffered hand, he wrung it with
the hearty enthusiasm of youth.
'Good!" exclaimed the Young Man.
Now, let me use your telephone for a
few minutes, and will order dinner;
then we will go to the football match. {"

for central to answer.
"That's more than enough" he re-
piled. ''We can have the time of our
lives on that Hello! Is that the Del
dorf? Tell the head waiter to come to
the phone. 1t is always better to order
dinner like this ahead,' he observed
to Mr.. Putancall, who had put on his
street coat by this time
Hello! Is that you, Jean? Yes; I
want you to get upa Thanksgiving din
ner for two to be served in one of the
private rooms at sharp. No, sir, you
can't have carte blanche know just
what want Now take down what l
tell you. First I want two orders of
clams-oysters are superstition, he
remarked aside. SCOT that? Then some
thing really good in clear soup. You
may decide on that yourself. Next we
want Lake Ontario whitefish. What
that? The close season for them, you
say? know it is, but that shouldn' t
trouble you. Oh, you think you know
where you can get one? All right, and
this is the way you are to cook it: Dress
two pound fish and put it on the range
in kettle of cold water. AS soon as the
water comes to boil take it off, and
the fish will be done. Notice if the flesh
cracks open at the back of the neck, and
you can tell if it is done exactly right.
Then you are to serve it with egg sauce.
Next we want roast turkey-a turkey
hen, remember, not muscular gobbler
land you are to stuff it with old fash
ioned country dressing of onion and
bread crumbs. Then we want apples,
nuts and such things. Besides, you are
to send down to that little old liquor
store on Chambers street for couple Of
bottles Of hard cider-the special brand
that the farmers put white wheat in
and flavor with sassafras. Got it down
all right? And be sure to have dinner
ready to serve at 2 O'Clock. Goodby."
CHOW, " exclaimed the Young Man,

Putancall, with mingled surprise and
uneasiness. ,a5srte ,o,,,e
