would be any better looking, either" added
Merry Jaxon, who was a recognized beauty
from her birth.
Nevertheless the Kimballs did name the
dot of humanity that horrid, long name in
spite of the comment and adverse opinion
of a dozen exceedingly interested neighbors.

No matter; Chrysanthea was now the
belle of Roserock, notwithstanding her
horrid, long name.
Eighteen serene Thanksgiving suns had
run the glowing day-rim, setting in a halo
of memories sweet for Kimball's daughter,
and we find her fair and pure as the flowers
for which she was named.
Tomorrow would be her nineteenth birth
day, and Mr.. and Mrs. Kimball meant to
have lovely surprise on Chrysanthea.

Chrysanthea for the indoor bloom that she

1t all! there's the gat. open now. Just as \
thought
The deacon was now puthse forth his best
efforts to stay the catastrophe: hut the
chances looked black, and when the mare
came to the gate leading into the Turner
farm she made straight for it, to the old
mans horror.
Vainly did Deacon Dawson try to stem
the tide; he did all he could, but with mad
ness which he could not control the animal
plunged into the opening and in another
moment was careering wildly up the lane.
As well might the doomed man have tried
to arrest the onset of a cyclone; he could not
stop the dun, who seemed determined to
land her master on the very steps of his en-.
emy's home.
Suddenly the front wheel struck an un.
foreseen obstruction and in another moment
the wagon was overturned and the deacon,
still holding onto the lines, was being
dragged forward over the rough road
Everything pointed to mcarnful Thanks.
the
whole wagon seemed to collapse, and the
next second the whole outfit was piled in a
promisouous heap right in the Turner door
yard.
The dun, finally kicking loose from the
debris, vanished through another gate
which led toward pasture, while the dea.
con, almost buried in the heap, was trying
in vain to extricate himself.
Well, deacon, how are you this morn.
ng!" suddenly exclaimed O. voice, and in an.
other moment pair of strong arms were
extricatlng the unfortunate man from his
dilemma
When the deacon gained his feet he was
Mortified to look into the placid face of his
enemy, who was offering his condolences in
good faith.
"Youappear to have met with an accident,
deacon" continued Turner. s'Let me help
you out, and, by the way, stay for dinner"
What! with you. Sam Turner?"
why not? I've been expecting company
that did not come, and, by the way, I've
got new horse I'd like to have you look at"
Looking at himself the good old deacon
concluded that he needed little brushing
up, and when Turner had helped him into
the house, where his wife took care of him.
and the runaway dun had been caught, the
deacon sat down to one OF the best dinners
he ever enjoyed.
Come again, Deacon said Turner, on
parting from his involuntary guest. 'sSay
next Thanksgiving,
But not behind nag like the dun"
growled Deacon Dawson IT guess, after all,
this is the best Thanksgiving I've ever had
Say, Brother Turner, there never was much

Not much, deacon. There's nothing

out OF sight, and the following Thanksgiv.
