Thanksgiving nou.. Partlsa.

The country has Its charms for not .
few Thanksgiving lovers. Country
house life has grown in popularity OF
recent years. Thanksgiving house par
ties at the great country mansions on
Wednesday Thanksgiving Eve) last
until the following Monday.
twenty-five people at least, perhaps
thirty, are invited for these festivities.
The girls bring wardrobes. They must
have ball gowns, morning frocks and
athletic costumes. The days are de-
voted to sports. the evenings to sing
ing and music. There are horses. bi-
cycles and carriages for everybody.
Thanksgiving day itself is marked by
u superb dinner. A ball follows.

THANKSGIVING.

To tho popular mind the word
"Thanksgiving" stands for a day OF
fcstlvity. Bat they who lose its sub
%jcctive meaning In nero creature en-
Joymont suffer a misfortune and miss
al opportunity.
To our fathers. Thanksgiving was q
sacrament. II was one OF their acts
OF religion 10 set apart for II an an
nual day. Heaven had blessed their
harvests. and they wished TO express
In a special way appreciation OF It's
favors.
Nothing in their example vas hors
sane and sensible than the creation OF
this November family custom. now be-
come national. There have been
changes Of our social life since the
old time. These have made II less easy
to observe the day 40 generally with
public rites OF worship. but the ordi-
nance holds it's place with pleasing 1T
ness. and with ample reason.
We have q th%ousandfold more to b
devoutiy glad for than our fathers
had: and the feeling and the faith
they carried with them to the solemn
assembly" We can rndiate in brighter
homes and wider activities OF kind
ness.
The unfolding Christian & has
given us the larger thought OF the
meaning and mission Of freedom and
OF civilization; the srander type and
idea Of ~benevolence; the tenderer be-
liefs that sweeten life and death with
hope. For all these let ne thank God.
Gratitude Ia not only "a natural
function Of the healthy soul; II 10
its wealth. Invest II. It's interest will
enrich the character, and uplift the
whole lie.

CHAPTER ".

Paul Ansdell was right In his sur
misses. The scientist. az a rule, was
right somehow. The fine, feathery
snow resolved itself into a perfect
blizzard a few hours later. and the
train, after plunging through deep
drifts, cutting lts way CALAMITY, was
brought to a standstill.
Fortunately they were close TO a
prairie station when the stoppage took
place.
I'VE must make the best OF it,"
cheerfully agreed the passengers.
There's plenty to eat and drink
aboard the train, thank goodness, and

The train due at Paris Junction at
9:35 wa ten minutes late on Thanks
giving morning. As II halted before
the little station, which stood amid
bare brown fields at the crossing OF
the two railroads, a gentleman and a
lady stepped to the platform.
The lady gathered her sealskin cape
around her and hurried into the depot.
She vas a plump, middle-aged woman
with a clear. dark face. When the
gentleman entered the room, she was
addressing the station agent.
How long before the next train
west on the other road?" she asked In
a voice Of peculiar sweetness.
The man started and drew nearer.

A glance into the strong face lighted
by frank gray eyes, and she gave a
little cry, a soft rose-pink flush stain
ing her cheeks.
Leon BARLEY! How do you hap
pen to be here?" and she timidly ex-
tended her hand.
Il I'm on my way to spend Thanks
giving with my old friends, the Her
ringtons, at Latimer."
And ! to eat my Thanksgiving tur-
key with my cousin. Lulu Myers"
A moments silence fell between
them. The station agent had retired
to his little den. which contained his
desk. leaving the two travellers In pos
session OF the room. There was a brisk
fire In the stove, and the air was laden
with the fumes OF the soft coal. Aside
from the stove, the sole furniture of
the room consisted Of a wooden bench
which extended along two siles. The
uncurtained windows were dingy and
dirty.
Outside there was only the shining
tracks and the fields. At a little dis
lance a solitary farmhouse could be
seen.
They were reused by a dash OF froz-
en- sleet against the windows. Bart
ley advanced to the door Of the little
inner room, saying:
II will see II there is not some way
out OF our trouble"
Left alone. Zoe Freeman drew her
cloak around her and let her mind
wander back to the past. Fifteen
years before she had been the prom
Used wife of Leon BARLEY. They had
quarreled and, In a at of pique, she
had married Robert Freeman. Wealth
and social position had been hers, but
Freeman soon became a helpless In
valid, and life held little for her save
the cares and duties OF a nurse. A
year ago death had set her free.
Leon BARLEY had never married
They had met occasionally but neve
since Freeman's death.
Here her thoughts were interrupted
by the return OF BARLEY.

way you can reach Latimer before 8

He brought for her from the innei

A few moments later the station agenl
said:

He strobe away. and they were alone
Outside the sleet confined to fall. Zoe
turned from the dreary picture framed
by the window with a sigh that
sounded strangely like n OF con
tent.
They talked ftfully. Both avoided
referring to the past, and the present
held little In common for them. YET
as they talked of the events OF tbs
day, OF books, and of people whom
they both knew, al unconscious change
came over them. AS in the days o.
old, she was aware Of a tender defer
ence shown toward her, a Difference

After a time BARLEY glanced at his
watch and rose to HIS feet.
Il am going to raid the surrounding
country and see what I can do In the
way of a Thanksgiving dinner"
Not In this storm" she cried, and
her clear dark eyes fell before his.

He was gone some time. When he
returned. she was at the door to meet
