In short time the long table was
spread with Miss Testers best cloth,
and at each plate lay n beautiful
white aster on the shining napkin.

with its pink wreath, occupied the
place of honor. fanked by mounds
of sugary jumbles and soft ginger
bread. such as only Miss Hester
could make. At each end of the table
vine-wreathed platter was loaded
with pears. peaches, grapes and ap-
pies.
IL am truly afraid there will be
no room for the vegetables" said
Mrs. Forbes, as she looked at the
rusks, cookies, cold meats. jams and
honey that were rapidly taking all
the space on the table. But all was
finally settled. and the dinner bell
rang at the usual time.
1t is impossible TO describe the
looks of surprise. astonishment and
Joy on the faces of the unfortunate
people, as they came into the room.
1t was the first homelike table many
OF them had sat down to for years,
and tears rolled down many furrowed
cheeks, as old Father Brown rev.
erently asked a blessing. and made
special mention Of the kind friends
who on this joyful day remembered
the helpless and forlorn.
II was a day long to be held in
memory by all. To people long ac-
customed to plain, coarse fare, there
was something inexpressibly delicious
in Miss Hester's dinner. They
praised Mary's cake. and Rob's lem
onade, and Miss Hester's doughnuts;
but enjoyed the turkey and sweet
potatoes most Of all.
As she filed an old lady's cup for
the third time with the clear, amber
fluid unknown to the poorhouse Ia

future all who wanted il should have

Brown.
