AS one of the great Atlantic liners

Gently wealthy passenger on board
gave champagne supper to the other
male passengers. Each one of those
invited was to render payment by
singing a song, dancing a jig or tell
ing story. Among those on board
was one person who had won a repu-
tation for moroseness, for in spite of
the constant stream of moss-grown
tales which one is forced to listen to
on shipboard he had never tried to
revenge himself by telling one of his
own. Accordingly when his turn
came to speak everyone listened
eagerly.

Sa yaM though we are apt to think
of it as a religious cele-
bration, it was really, that first one,
a season marked by feasting and jol-
lily; very much as is our Thanksgiv-
ing of to-day. Indeed, it seems to
some of US of the present that at
the Thanksgiving holiday in the au-
tumn of 1921, the religious side was
quite too little considered, instead of
given undue prominence. No men
ton is made of any religious services
taking place that week as part of the
obseryances.
The Plymouth Pilgrims, who had
toiled arduously a whole twelve
month from the time of landing,
knowing little of relaxation save the
rest required on the Sabbath, when
the harvest for 1921 was in, agreed
together the time to play had come.
1t was decided that there should be
held period of general rejoicing
and thanksgiving, and careful prep
aration was made for the event. -Four
huntsmen were dispatched for Gov.
Bradford to bring in game for the
colony, and these doughty followers
of the chase returned with days
spoils suncient to provide the whole
company for week. The Indian
neighbor, Massasoit, was invited to
the festival, and came bringing with
him 80 people to be entertained.
The ninety and one guests remained
for a visit of three days, but they
helped out the supplies by the con
tribution of five deer. The red men
were treated to a show of military
maneuvers by their hosts; for the
purpose of diversion for them, OF
as way of impressing the strength
of the white men upon the native
born, history saith not.
At the feasting of that week the
wild turkey played an important part
and to-day we still conscrvatively
cling to this bird as the proper occu
pant of the Thanksgiving platter
When we read of the venison, anc
that "besides waterfoule was great
store of wild turkies" for Pilgrims
and Indian guests, we must think OF
that Thanksgiving of 2s1 years age
as certainly time of feasting rath
er than of fasting.

Deadly Illuminating Gas.

1t is asserted by writer in an
American medical weekly that cases
of poisoning by illuminating gas are
on the increase, and he attributes this
TO the use of the so-called water gas,
which contains a high percentage of
the deadly gas called carbon monox-
ide. In Massachusetts, a law so limit
ing the proportion of this substance
as practically to exclude water gas
from use, was repealed about13 years
ago. Since that time, there have been
459 deaths from inhalation of gas,
while in a period Of equal length pre-
ceding the repeal of the law there
were only eight deaths from this
cause Carbon monoxide is not only
fatal in large quantities, but it pro-
duces a general condition of ill-health
in very slight proportions. and the
writer believes that many puzzling
cases of decline in physical vigor are
to be attributed TO almost inappreci.

she said, rising again. "All excepting
one other thing, and that is harder
to say than all the rest"
Raymer rose with her and took her
hand again.
"After what you have done, it
mustn't be hard for you to say any
thing to me, Miss Margery."
"But this thing is hard-for me,
not for you. You say you keep your
account at the Wahaska National.
Keep it somewhere else, Mr.. Ray
mer."
He bowed in ready acquiescence.
I'll transfer it at once-and without
asking why should do it, he agreed.
"But-but it is right that you
should know Why" she faltered. "My
father does not like you. Need
say more?"
He pressed the hand he was still
holding and smiled down upon her
from his athletic height.

than she could bear just then. Good
BY she said, abruptly, and before he
could offer to help her she ran out,
sprang into the low phaeton and
drove rapidly away.
Raymer stood at the office door and
watched her out of sight. Then he
went back to his desk and sat down
TO fall into a musing excursion which
led him far away from the matter in
hand-the matter of the strike and
its probable composition in terms OF
peace. At the end of the reverie, one
of it's conclusions slipped into speech
''They may say what they please

ever been with his business partner

patrimony, and of its spending. But

sUBDUING A BULLY.
How n Russian Lady Brought Bru-
tai Manchu Noble to Her
Feet.

The Siberian railroad traverses the
greatest wilderness that steam has
ever been set to conquer. The tanning
of our western prairies and mountains
was small task compared to this sub
lection of the Siberian wastes. An eN-
perience on train, related by writer
in Nladivostok paper, reminds one
of the early stage coach days beyond
the Mississippi, and seems even more
violent because the participants in
the adventure were not rough plains
men and mountaineers, but a lady and
nobleman, says the Youths Com
panion.
When the train pulledupatT sitsikar
in Manchuria, Manchu noble, who
had bullied all his fellow passengers,
alighted at the station restaurant, aft
er warning them that he would decapi-
tate any of them who took his seat.
During his absence smartly dressed
young Russian lady entered the car.
and, despite the alarmed expostula-
lions of it's occupants, calmly appropri.
ated the seat.
When the noble returned he flew
into a passion, and advanced threat
eningly with his curved saber drawn.
But the young woman coolly covered
him with shining revolver.
do you take us for a pack of cow
ardly mandarins?" she exclaimed and
then, pointing to her feet, she re-
marked: Here is your place, my hero. :
The Manchu noble surrendered, and
sat at her feet for the rest of the jour
new.

In 1923 drought threatened the
brave Pilgrim settlers, but the need.

in fasting and prayer; so the next
Thanksgiving differed somewhat from
the one of two years before in that
it was observed in testimony OF graf.
itude for answer to prayer.

now celebrated as Washington's

folk were, and they did not always
agree on the subjects supposed to
call forth thanks; now plentiful har-
vests arousing gratitude in one COM
munity, now deliverance from Indians
in another, deliverance from disease
in still another. Different months
were chosen for celebrating Thanks
giving, August, October, December
and January; but finally it became
generally observed as an autumn fes-
tival. Thursday, as well as Novem-
Der, gradually became indissolubly
connected with Thanksgiving; rec
ords showing the holiday to have
been observed now on Tuesdays, now
on Wednesdays.
In 1850, there is good reason to
believe, Thanksgiving was kept gen
orally as an annual festival. During
the revolution it became a national
holiday, but after the Thanksgiving
for Peace in 1884 it was omitted until
1889. In that year, Washington, ac-
cording to advice from congress, ap.
pointed the last Thursday in Novem"
Der for national observance.
The west, largely peopled by east
erners, has long been devoted to the
keeping of Thanksgiving, but it was
not until 1853 that the south adopt
ed the Yankee holiday. To-day it is
veritably a national institution, OBJ
served by Americans of all classes, of
all localities. KATHERINE POPE.

After this she drove home to don
her simplest gown while the man was
putting up the high-swung trap and
the big English horse, and making
ready the pony and the phaeton.
She made long round in the
phaeton, driving herself. 1t began
on the manufacturing side of town,
and ended there, and was house-to-
house visitation in the quarter occu-
pied by the cottages of the iron
works men. She saw few of the men;
but she did better. She saw and
talked with the wives of the men.
What she said to the women, and
what her saying of it was like to ac-
complish was set forth in brief con-
ference with Edward Raymer at the
iron works otfice-a conference with
which the morning of conferences
ended.
She found Raymer alone in the
office, and was glad enough for that.
Il don't know what you will think
of me for meddling in this she said.
when she had told him what she had
been doing.
''You may say very justly that it
wasn't any of my business; but l saw,
or thought 1 saw, chance for a
woman to do what all you men could
MT seem to do. SO did my part, and
now if you'll do yours, l believe the
trouble will stop right where it is"
Raymer evaded the business part OF
it, and gave praise where praise was
due, taking her hand and letting his
eyes say more than his words.

woman l ever heard off, he said

CHAPTER XVIII.

In the matter of the armistice
Margery was as good as her word
and little better. She did not go
over to the enemy promptly upon its
expiration, as she had said she would.
Instead, she gave her father another
and a final warning.
ooh, pshaw! what can you do?"
was his rather contemptuous rejoin-
der when she reminded him that the
peace protocol had expired by linn
itation.
"That is neither here nor there"
she returned, coolly. "You will find
out what can do if you drive me to
it,
"Bah!" said the man, ''to do you've
got to know. You don't know any
thing about my business"
This is your last word, is it?"
"You can call it anything you like.
Go ahead with your pigeon shooting
any time you're ready"
Margery bit her lip, gave little
sigh, which might have been of dis
appointment or of remuneration, and
said no more.
But the following morning, after a
call upon some newly come guests at
the resort hotel, she made it a point
to stumble upon Mr.. Andrew Gal
braith, who was smoking peaceful
cigar on the veranda. The purpose
of the stumbling was meant to be
very obvious; was obvious, since she
made it the occasion of inviting the
banker to join the party in the
launch for an afternoon on the lake.
But after she had given the invita-
ton and had left him, she went back
to say:
"Oh, by the way, Mr.. Galbraith,
think papa has heard something
more about those pine lands-up at
Red Lake, you know. They are not
worth nearly as much as he thought
they were. / think he is trying very
hard not to believe it, but
She stopped abruptly, not because
of any maidenly embarrassment, but
because she had the rare faculty OF
knowing when she had said enough

said touched upon the pine land mat

indeed, and went shout to explain
that the Bayou bank was his bank.
Griswold listened respectfully, said
"Ah? it must have been a thrilling
experience and said no more. And
if he had been from his earliest child
hood the closest student of the va
rious methods of averting crisis he
could not have done better.
A little interval of smokers silence
first to break it. The thing he had
come to say admitted no preface, so
he began in the midst.
"What | came here this morning to
tell you, Mr.. Galbraith, may strike
you as an odd thing with which to be-
gin an acquaintance; but as we have
no mutual friends, and as common
Justice is, or should be, more far

Andrew Galbraith's eyes looked

swered in the affirmative, and Girls

The banker said it was, in effect:
that it wanted but the passing of a
check to its conclusion.

Andrew Galbraith staggered up on
of his chair heavily, and Griswolt
saw again the terrified president o
the Bayou bank as he had seen hin
on that momentous morning in TIL
private office in New Orleans. Blu
this time the start was only momen
tary. Mr.. Galbraith sat down again
and picked up the cigar he ha'
dropped in the shock of it; picked i
up and wiped it carefully with tru
