You'll sell some of 'em at Thanksgiv-

''Oh, yes; l callate on selling all but
that young gobbler, an I'm goin' to eat
him. I'm short Of grain and it won't pay
me to buy feed for q lot of turkeys.
They'd eat their heads off in six weeks ~
Yes, l s'pose so. Who you goin' to
have for comp'ny Thanksgivin'?
Il amt quite sure yet; but guess it
won't be hard TO git someone to come IN

bier like that"
NO, indeed. We're all goin' over 20
Hebron to eat dinner with my husbands S
sister. They're goin to have big FAM
ly reunion there, an sister counts on nly-
in over forty to dinner"
'It must be nice to have that many
own folks" said Miss Phoebe, with n
sigh. Here l amt got any kin at all"
There's your cousin Thyrza," said
Trip.
81 don't count her as kim" said Phoe
be Podd coldly. and she manifested her
resentment of Mrs. Trips suggestion by
turning about abruptly and walking into
the house. while Mrs. Trip walked down
the country road toward her own home,
saying to herself: IF ever there was "A

nobody on earth she'd ought to have and

Young gobber as ThyrZa Deane and her
boys, but she'd die, Phoebe Podd would,
before she'd own Up to it,
Miss Podd lived On profitable little
farm left to her by her parents, who had
also left her cash and stock enough to
make her one of the ''best off, women in
the neighborhood in which she lived. She
lived alone, with the exception of a hired
man.
Miss Podd and her cousin Thyrza had
been more like sisters than cousins in
their intimacy until Il trifling disagree
ment had resulted in their complete es-
arrangement, and it had been five years
since they had spoken to each other.
Mrs. Deane had become widow dur
ing these five years, and she had been re
duced from a state of ease and plenty to
one of hardship and poverty. But these
facts had apparently made 10 difference
with Phoebe Podd, for She continued to
utterly ignore the existence of her cousin.
I'D like to see myself asking Thyrza
Deane and her young ones TO come and
help me eat that turkey" said Miss Podd
spitefuly as she went into her spotless
kitchen and banged the door behind her.
I've good mind never to speak to
Sarah Trip again for mentioning the
name of Thyrza Deane to me-"
Three days before Thanksgiving Miss
Podd engaged the services of Jane Gray,
a woman who worked OUT in the neigh
borhood. and the two women dressed the
entire flock of turkeys for market after
Job. the hired man, had done duty as a
butcher.
The plump young gobbler alone was

"An' I've my s'picions who stole i'm"
"Who?"
"Well, I met that oldest boy of the
Widow Deane's in the woods near your
barn last evening just at dusk an he had
white an black turkey gobbler slung
over his shoulders. He made off mighty
fast when he saw me. / never thought
anything about it until come TO look up

And you amt seen my turkey since
you saw Joe Deane with a gobbler like
mine on his back?'
'No, ma am. The last l saw of your
turkey was about 1 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon when | see i'm goin' out toward
the timber back o the barn. It's my
opinion that the Deane boy swiped that
gobbler.'
Miss Podd was in just the right mood
to be easily led to this same conclusion.

had finally decided that Job was correct

Declaration of independence.

The original Declaration Of Inde-
pendence is in so dilapidated a condi-
ton that nowadays it is rarely if ever
exposed TO public view. Exposure to
light and the process of making 4
duplicate copy of the declaration have
faded the ink in the historic document,
but it is still legible. Some of the sig
natures are nearly faded out. John
Hancock, however, seems to have used
an inperishable ink, for his name
stands black and bold on the parch-
ment. which is now kept in steel safe,

thing that'll make that turkey taste
mighty bitter in her mouth, now see if
don't!'
1t was q raw, cold and sunless day
Miss POdd's anger had made her forget
that she was not feeling well, and soon
| after noon she set forth from her own
snug and pretty home to visit the far
from attractive and comfortable home in
which her cousin lived.
There had 10 money for repairs of
any kind on the Deane place and Miss
Podd relented very little bit as she
noted the forlorn aspect of the place. But
she was determined TO carry through
| what she had undertaken. 1t was unlike
the Podds to swerve from any fixed res
olution. and Miss Podds face wore
hard, grim, reso.ute look as she knocked
AT the Deane's back door.
III face 'em when they're in the very
act of eatin' my turkey" she had said to
Job. 'I'll make that turkey change from
sweet to bitter in their mouths
Someone called out Come in" and
Miss Podd entered the Deane kitchen
just as Mrs. Deane and her five children
| had seated themselves at table on
which there was no sign of turkey or of
Thanksgiving feast of any kind. \

potatoes were the chief dishes on the ia

| face.
''Why-CouSin Phoebe" she said.
Miss Podd's sharp eyes took in. at Il
glance the poorly spread table and the
air of poverty the interior of the house
presented. and her first words were:
We'll. Thyrza Deane, is this the best
Thanksgiving dinner you're able to
have?"
Yes. it is, Phoebe" said Mrs. Deane
with blush. Its so poor, Phoebe, that
I'm ashamed to ask you to share ii"
Where's the turkey Joe brought home
last night?' asked Phoebe.
I'VE sold it. 1t was one he earned
huskin' corn all day for Andy Tetlow,
and we were too poor to keep it for our
selves, so | dressed it and Joe took It to
town after dark last night and exchanged
it for things we needed more than we
needed the turkey"
There was silence in the room for a mo-
ment and then Miss Podd burst out I'M
petuously:
Il amt fit to live. No, amt! I'm
too miserably mean an narrow contract
ed to be respectable even. Fm-"
why, Cousin Phoebe, /"

The Great Salt Lake.

The reason why the Great Salt Lake
in Utah is growing smaller, according
to Prof. James E. Talmage, is that the
volume of water from its tributary riv-
ers is being more and more diverted by
irrigation. Prof. Talmage says that
the water of the lake is growing each
year more acrid as it shrinks in size,
and he thinks that in another hundred
years it will be replaced by glittering
bed of dry salt.
