implore. An nowhere paper boy, at
tracted by his gesticulations, darted up
and tipped the box so that the orator
slid ingloriously into the mud. Charlie
laughed in spite of himself, then his face
became grave. Beneath the lightness of
the speakers words had been an under
current of seriousness which appealed dl-
rectly to his discoura cement and home
sickness. Yes, he would go home.
''Thank you for your advice" he said;
"I'm going to take it"
"Honest?' with a ring of satisfac-
ton in his voice. ''Then fare We well, an
if forever-but, say" as Charlie was
starting down the sidewalk, give me
tip to your barrel an mebbe I'll come
out an spend my vacation with you next
summer"
Charlie laughed, and then, on sudden

the boy.
"We'd like first rate to have you come, y
he said, heartily, "an' we'd try to give
y, you good time"

seem to have no effect upon him for
whom it was given, it will not be lost
upon those who hear, nor will its infiu-
ence be powerless upon him who bestows
it. A cultivation of the Thanksgiving
habit will make to grow the sense of ap-
probation, and as a result our spirits Will
be sweetened, our souls enlarged ana
the whole horizon of life beautiied. Then
the ordinary affairs of life will never
more be commonplace; our conditions and
surroundings will always appear in
fresh light. This is significant. The
man whose family find in him source
Of endless delight and joy is one who
does not suffer the common relationships
and the daily intercourse to become col
orless and arid. Such man keeps love
alive by cultivating the sentiment of af-
fection. His face, his voice, his deed,
makes the old courses of life brim and
sparkle with full current of tenderness
and feeling. So it is again with the
great artist who sees the common in an
uncommon light and clothes the most Or
binary objects with beauty and charm.

Charles Thanksgiving


~ NE year ago, Charlie had come to
II II the city to make his fortune. He
~ was fond of farming and farm
stock; but they were slow means to
wealth. He would go to the city for the
fortune, and would then come back and
purchase the best farm in the vicinity,
and have fine horses and big meadows
and-envious neighbors.
He was standing on a street corner,
with hands thrust deep down into his
pockets, and wearing the same clothes
he had brought from home. But the
clothes were soiled and worn threadbare
and shiny, and the shoes were unblacked.
and the hat lacking part of its brim; and
long ago he had discarded such extras
as collars and cuffs. The fingers Of one
hand played idly with his two last half
dollars, both of which were owed for
the poor little room he rented on one of
the back streets; and the other fingers
touched several pawn tickets, which he
had no expectation of redeeming. In
deed. he was wondering duly if there
were anything else in his trunk which
could be pawned. He had had no break
fast. and there was no prospect for a
dinner-and this was Thanksgiving.
A few yards away, a street boy was
sitting on a dry goods box, swinging
his bare feet industriously to the tune
he was whistling. But his eyes were
| fixed on the listless figure of his neigh
| Dor.
"Say, country" he called, suddenly
"what you thinkin' of?'
| Charlie flushed, but did not answer.
| "Come, don't make an owl O. your
self" the boy went on; there's nothin
in this world to fret over. Look here,
swinging his legs upon the box: ''nt
| clothes to spare, an what there is aim
much for cold weather; an my jacket
lost an arm. an my shirt most O. on
shoulder; an furthermore" pausing to in
dulge in another bar of the street dit,
he was whistling, Il amt had no break
fast. an only a cold pertater for suppe
last night; an still I amt no split mill
to cry over.'' His legs swung back int
space and beat a lively accompaniment
to the conclusion of the tune. Then h
looked at Charlie.
"Now, what's broke with you?" he de
manded. ''You amt stalled, an you'v
got shoes on your feet.
But 1 can't eat my shoes" Charli
retorted; "and the two pieces of none
have left are to pay for my room. An
and what's worse, I'm out of jot
Twasn't much-sweeping out offices--bu
it meant a room and something to eat"
The street boy stopped drumming an
looked at him with more interest.
"'Tis sort O bad," he acknowledged
'an' you bein' from the country an know
in nothin' makes it worse. What'd yo
come for?"
"Why, to get rich, of course" Charl

of every sort in such abundance as amply
to feed the colony for week. They had
as guests the friendly chief, Massasoit,
and ninety of his Indians. The Indians
contributed to the feast five deer and a
.'great basket of oysters" This was the
Introduction of the young colony to it's
afterward fayorite shellfish and the wom-
en- cooked them as they best knew how.
The menu of that immortal dinner has
not, alas! been preserved, but it is known
that the two dishes most fully appre-
ciated by the Indians as well as the
Americans were the "brown roast tur-
key" and the pumpkin pie. The great
feast of the week was outdoors, for the
air was balmy and the sun bright. Mas
sasoit was there in all the bravery of
a scarlet coat trimmed with lace and a
copper chain, given him, some time pre-
vious, by Edward Winslow. In strange
medley of Indian garb and borrowing of
European costume, the guest of honor
was feted and entertained, cementing
there the bond Of friendship with the
white settlers which held good forty one
years.-Good Housekeeping.

was seen. The turkey meat is positive
ly rich, and even the white meat that is
generally dry has a moist: spicy taste.
This is his recipe for roast turkey:
Clean the turkey with as little handling
as possible and rinse with water in which
little baking soda has been dissolved.
Now break up about half pint of bread
crumbs, and into the crumbs chop two
links of pork sausage. Stuff the turkey
with this mixture and just before put
ting into the oven bind salt pork on the
breast Of the turkey. Remove the pork
Just before the turkey is taken from the
oven. When the meat is carved, its
flavor will be found very superior. This
is particularly to be recommended for
the Thanksgiving turkey, which, with so
many other dainties rivaling it, must
be very appetizing to be enjoyed.

Turkey? Oh, no, but we had fowl
Which was very large for four,
Indeed, the old man and even the boy
Said they couldn't have wished for more
We none of US cared for cranberry sauce
But we had whole mlnce pie
CTwas sent by my country aunt, you see),
And the dinner was not so dry,
For we had some coffee-two cups, p,i5 apiecei
Why, the girl with the crutch was heard TO
say
That She couldn't drink it all;
And the stammering hoy said he was sure
He would have bad dreams all night,
And the old man said he'd not eaten SO
much
And that wasn't all, for after the feast
When the dishes were cleared away,
We had some nuts by the bright coal nre,
And l tell you we were gay!
For the old man told such funny tales
That our laugh made the old room ring,
And the girl with crutch had banjo, TOO,
And the stammering boy could sing!
1t seemed so strange to hear his voice
Move on quite smooth and clear,
That l wondered if sometimes, perhaps, In
Whether that be far or near.
If our speech will be clear from the halt
With which it is troubled now,
And if we can walk without the crutcn
Which we always need, somehow;
And If we shall be no longer blind,
(As we all of us are, in way),
All, then there would be a feast, indeed,
royal Thanksgiving day!
And l know last night as we laughed and
sang,
We forgot the long, hard year,
| We forgot all weakness and all want
In the light of our own good cheer.
| For gayer guests with a brighter wit,
I'm sure it were hard to find;
| My girl with crutch. my stammering boy,
| And my old man who is blind.

CHAPTER discontinued.

Bertha LYLE had come all the way
from Scotland to look after an estate
s,,pposed to have been left her by
Ter father. He and a brother had
come to America eighteen years pe-
Fore when she was a mere child. AT
tbe age of two years she had lost her
mother, and her father had placed her
in school and come to America TO
drown his troubles and make his 1or-
tune. Before he had been here ten
wears the report came that he haa
been killed by Indians. This was
shortly after the report that he ana
his brother had inherited an immense
fortune from a brother in New 1ork,
and while neither Bertha nor ner
friends could ever get any Information
concerning what became OF this lot

and that while her father had LETT as

nothing to speak of coming to her.

comparatively fresh horses made bet
ter time than the Indians, so that by
night they came to where the red
men had stopped to prepare their din
ner the same day. Each camping
place of the Indians was marked by
the carcass of a mule, for hungry as
they were, and their party was 50
large that it required a full grown an
imal for every meal. Arising bright
and early the following morning they
soon reached the camp of the Indians
of the previous night and came upon
the Indians at noon. The latter were
conscious of their power and boldly
ate their dinner in full view of the
whites, and took their time about
moving on, shouting out words OF de-
fiance as they went.
The brave four were rewarded by see
ing Bertha from the rimrocks, still Well
and unharmed, but it was with shud-
der that they beheld the attention that
she received from the leader of the
band.
The Indians numbered about forty
warriors and were a set of as ugly
and vicious looking fellows as ever
won the unenviable name OF their
tribe. The whites could do nothing but
| follow at a distance with the nope
that something might transpire by
which they would be enabled to re
lieve the young woman from her al
lemma. But now that they were dis
covered by the Indians their prospects
seemed far less f1attering than wheI

Strategem was their only hope. Te

There is danger that the religious sig
