Slawson won tur-
key at a rattle and
! ~ brought 1t home to
fatten for the coming
festival The entire
household followed him to the back
yard. where he tied the bird by one leg
to a clothes post and proceeded to build
a small coop in the fence corner. While
the rest of the family stood around
hindering Mr.. Slawson's work by max
ing suggestions and by laughing at him
when be struck his thumb with the
hammer. the two boys. Fred and Rob-
bic. were engaged In making the ac-
quaintance of the turkey. Robbie. the
younger. was for naming him Dan. aft
er the grocer's boy who took him for
rides. but Fred stoutly maintained that
the honor would better betit Uncle
George. who had red whskers. Mr..
Slawson settled the matter by saying.
with a wink at his wife. that the tur
keys name was Dennis.
During the soft. summary days which
followed-for In Savannah the Novem-
Der sun shines warmly-Fred and Rob-
bic spent most of their time at the
coop. feeding Dennis with whatever
came to their hands, and soon the .ac-
.quaintance ripened into comradeship
The turkey became as one of tbem-a
playfellow. Then the next door neigh-N
boris boy climbed upon the fence and
asked: Y
'"W,hen you going to kill him?"
xiii who?'
'''The turkey" -~
What DIVE kill him for?"
'"For Thanksgiving. Amt you going
40 eat him."
The idea! Eat Dennis!
But after Fred and Robbie had gone
ITO bed the night before Thanksgiving
they heard their mother call out softly
over the banister:
"Sam. are you going to kill the tur-
key tonight?'
No" MIR. Slawson's answer came
from below 'Pll do it in the morn
ing"
Then there was a lot of tremulous
whispering under the bedclothes in
the up stairs back room. and when all
the lights had been put out two little.
figures in white crept from the win
dow to the shed roof aud clambered
down the treIlis. Dennis was soon tied
securely by one leg under the broad
front porch and the two little figures
in white clambered up the trellis and
crept stealthily in al the window.
The next morning Mr.. Slawson went
to the back yard with the Ratchet in his

race In general and about turkey

the worst of 1t was Mrs. Slaw add

But 1t was thought Thanksgiving
could BOT be duly celebrated without
turkey. so after much of the morning
had been spent otherwise than in CIV
ing thanks. Fred was posted off to the
market with instructions to make all
possible haste. Robbie. who feared to
be left at home alone with the dreadful
secret cried to go. too. but Mrs. Slaw-
