IT ENA turned back to the dresser where
Aunt Marcia was deep in the sweet
LIZ mysteries of fruit cake. Cant
person be thankful in any other way than
to pile up wonderful dishes until the very
tables groan, auntie? 1t just looks to me
like an offering to appetite.
Child" exclaimed Mrs. Marcia Steven
son, pausing with one foury hand half way
In the currant bag, "who could have
Thanksgiving without a fine dinnerf Be
sides. there's the sermon;" and she looked
rather quizzically at her progressive niece.
"Oh, yes; 1 know there's devotional
frontispiece."
There was a queer little vein of sarcasm in
the girls reply, which augured anything but
ease of conscience for the insincere.
The houry hand was slowly withdrawn
from the fruit bag, overhowiDg with the
sugary contents, and half puzzled look
crossed the face of the cake baker, but no
response was forthcoming.
In the silence which followed Lena went
softly upstairs, the spicy appetizing odors
of Thanksgiving preparations following her,
as if to sanction her convictions.
81 don't care: believe am right" she
said, supplementing the conversation Of the
kitchen to suit herself. Nov, there's Aunt
hand toward the stairway as if to call the
attention of invisible auditors, "she always
makes such a great parade Of her dainties
on Thanksgiving and never mentions the
sermon unless it be, indeed, TO hope the
minister viii get through before the turkey
is overdone.' And then" giving knowing
nod to the face in the mirror opposite,
there's her annual jar of extra favored
mincemeat expressly for Thanksgiving pies"
remembering the blue jar on the back of
the dresser.
There's no devotion in that, of course
not. but l notice that every matron
in the neighborhood is made aware of the
delicious fact in a way which would kill
q Thanksgiving spirit stone dead. Every
lady in Orne is familiar with even the label,
My Thanksgiving JAR but 1 never heard
her say she was thankful to one of them"
Then her tone changed to one of loving
caress. and she took from the mantel beau
tiful blue china rose jar and peeped into 1t
with glad, beaming eyes. 81 don't know how
many slips of paper have in it, meditative-
ly, "but do know that on each one l noted

thankful all over again"

the overflow of thankfulness by tripping the
feet to rhythm of Uncle Jake's violin. whyi
the tables would be cleared in season and
preparations made.
In due time the day set apart by the pres
ident of the United States and the people
of Orne arrived. The conventional ''sift Of
snow was punctually on hand. Nature had
doubled on her former efforts and the merry
bngling of sleighbells gave "sn extra" to
the occasion.
Everybody was hi,ariously glad; even
Aunt Marcia smiled religiously and hunmed

If they are to have an experience meeting
] can send Ben; can trust him."
A sweet flush went over the fair cheek as
she remembered that somewhere near the
bottom of the blue china rose jar Ben was
mentioned as "the" blessing of her life.
And all Orne had mentioned the matter also,
but little differently. when the prophecy
went forth that wedding bells would ring
before Christmas
Uncle Leonard was preparing to go over
to the hall when a CHEEKY voice came mer-
rily through the kitchen doorway. Miss
Lena wants the blue jar; some sort of a
Thanksgiving institution. She forgot it this
morning"
call right" answered Uncle Leonard from
the sitting-room, where he was putting on
his overshoes. He was very busy with a
refractory buckle and did not notice that
Ben went lightly upstairs and hurried out
with the desired article in trice.
By and by the buckle was adjusted and
Uncle Leonard came out and cogitated.
"The Thanksgiving institution, he said,
half aloud that means Marcias extra
mince jar. Blue, yes, of course. AS if
couldn't find that jar in the darkest night,
as many years as I've known where it sets.
] reckon the pies must a given out, or
suthin'''
Uncle Leonard waddied down cellar quite
briskiy for him. He meant TO meet the ex-
igencies of the case If possible, for he knew il
Marcia wanted that jar it must be forth
coming.
Twenty minutes later he came putting into
the hall, and. not seeing his wife, deposited
the precious burden on the end of one of
the long tables, where it stood in state
fanked on either side by a stack of odorous
pumpkin pies.
More than one curious glance rested on
Uncle Leonard's addition to the dinner; but,
as no one was quite certain, nothing was
said until the meal was well under way
Then Penelope johnson, the one inQuisi.
tive maiden lady of Orne, who sat next to the
mysterious dish. giDgerly lifted the en-
broidered DOYLE with which Uncle Leonard
had covered it, and, seeing the label, con-
cluded that the choicest of preserves re-
posed therein. Having settled this to her
satisfaction, she beckoned to Lena, who was
fitting like bright butterfly about an ad-
joining table; then, turning back the DOYLE,
she waited. inwardly glad that Providence
had cast her lines in such plentiful place.
at that moment Aunt Marcia, seeing
something was expected, came forward from
where she was dishing cranberry sauce, and
Penelope called her attention TO the matter.
AT sight of the familiar object Aunt Mar
cia's face was study in scarlet" There's
some mistake" she managed to say, gather
ing up the pride of her life and bearing it to
the ante-room.

Having charged her niece thus, she moved

hall door with little more than usual vigor,
her thoughts about evenly divided between
the one hundred and third Psalm and Aunt
Marcta's devotion.
After services, and just as Lena had fin
ished making mental note OF the fact that
Mrs. Allison wore her old bonnet, but that
the Allison girls were arrayed In the afore-
said new silks, Nell Worden pulled her
sleeve.
How do you like the new phase of Orne's
Thanksgiving?" she asked, ali animation.
What new phase?" and Lena ':ried to be
interested.

Aunt Marcia's, after all.
''We have drifted right into it, laughed
Nell as they stood together in the impromptu
ante-room of the hall. They were busy put
ting on dainty white caps and aprons to
match. "T did not want to wait on the
table to-day" and the laugh faded into some
