OF the old time pioneering. OF the heartiness

OF the sympathetic neighbor, and the In.

And the bins for all the apples. and pre-.

And we ranged the gloomy g8rret; we were

But the box OF maple sugar and dried fruit

And around the barn we rolllcked, and

And we ranged the turnp cellar. and we

And we heard the cattle munchlng, and the

And We climbed along the hangers where
the horses fed, with awe.

And hearts seemed so much truer and life
so smooth In flow;
And friends somehow were nearer, and

invited all the boys to dinner.
"Well," said his father, Il don't mind
havin' the boys come, but plain, everyday
turkeys all they'll get and that's good
enough for anybody. There won't be any

If he hadn't invited the boys, he
wouldn't have cared. How would he tell
them Of the change In the menu OF the
expected feast? He simply couldn't do
1t, that was all. By the light of the moon
that came in the window he saw on the
table before him the nimble little animal
that he had captured lying by the side
of the big turkey, which had been made
ready for the oven and was fairly burst
ing with delicious dressing.
"Oh, / know what I'll dol Therew he
said, as he unfastened the stout cord that
bound the bulging sides OF the turkey,
scooped out the dressing, stuffed the rab-
bit in the ample cavity and fastened the
cord again. "We'll have the rabbit any

Then he went back to his room.

He had never heard Of such articles of
food being cooked together and he be-
came badly frightened. He hastened to
undo his work Of the night, but It was
too late. The turkey, with its strange
consBrt, was already roasting to a nice
brown in the oven. He felt very sorry
