but it was the best he could do now,
and he was hopeful for the future.
1t was the day before Thanksgiving,
but Marcy had not given it thought.
1t had been a long time since she had
observed any of the holidays. AS she
sat there with the letter in her hand,
thinking of that promise to John, and
how little she had done to help him
and make him happy, she was startled
by the unusual sound of a rap at the
door below. Opening it, she saw Il
hunter standing there, and in his hand
was Margy's only turkey-dead. He
said they had killed it between them

it, and he finishing it to end it's suffer

he would pay for the turkey and take

When he had gone Marcy sank

her breast. Oh, yes, she was thank

of the letter which she still held in her
hand she thought of John. Dear old
