TRaE sun set clear but left chill the air
on November day among the New
u Hampshire hills, whose leafess trees
shook their branches mournfully as
the northwest winds passed them Bly,
The promise of the next day was bright,
despite the cold, which brings no terrors
TO the New England spirit, long Injured to
the blasts from the north. It was Thanks
giving eve, and no other day of all the year
brings such gladness to those born where
thanksgiving day first had it's being. Poor,
indeed, was the household that had not
ready its glorious pies of pumpkin, nor its
plump, fat turkey in readiness for the COM
ing OF the morrow. Few were the hearts
that had been unable to forget what of the
past was sorrowful that they might hail
and welcome this day of home-bringing and
home joys. 49,.
Since they could first recollect, aye! since
the days of their fathers and fathers faith
ers, it had been so, that with pure and glad
hearts, grateful for benefits the day should
be heralded and kept throughout. To greet
it otherwise would be dishonoring of the
mothers who bore them and the sires from
whose loins they sprang. ~,
Yet in neat, white cottage, half-hidden
beneath one of these great bleak hills, was
young woman who, in Difference of parental
authority and the traditions of her people,
refused to enter into the spirit of the sea-
son.
Dolly Benson was an only child and, if the
truth must be told, somewhat spoiled al
though very pretty one. She had had her
way since she could remember, and even
yet, although nearly two years had passed,
she could not understand why her parents
had refused to let her marry Jabez Jackson.
lie, too, was an onl y son, and his mother

playmates in childhood and lovers since be-
fore they knew the meaning of the word.
To be sure, his mother was poor, but DOL
ly's father had enough and to spare. There
was no reason in the world for refusing him.
She hated everybody, she declared, this
| night. The world was hateful and every
body in it. She could not understand why
| anybody could have the heart to be thank
full for anything.
It was just two years this very night that
Jabez had asked her to marry him. Two
years ago tomorrow her father had sent
him away without hope.
Then he had enlisted and gone away to the
Philippines. Stories reached her of his bra
| very in battle and his rapid promotions for
gallant conduct. Her heart beat fast with
pride, even though she could not hope to be
his.
But there followed long night of dark.

What did she care this night that her

This would not call him back from the dead,
nor fill the aching in her sorrowful heart.
Pc. There was no man for her in all the world
There had been but one; there could not
be another.
The anniversary but served to intensity
her sorrow. She moved about helping her
mother, for there was yet much to be done
in preparation for the morrow But her
spirit was not in her household duties. The
bright glow of the fire, the steady flare of
the lamp bore no rays to her. The house
within was as dark as the night without.
If her parents observed her mood they did
not comment upon it.
Dolly thought the evening never would
end. How she detested pies and cakes and
every suggestion of feasting as we'll as of
merriment. She longed to be alone in her
room, where she might cry out her very
eyes for sorrow of losing her dear love- God
was not good, nobody was good, there was
no cause for gratitude, and how she did
wish she was dead. If the latter, then she
would meet him. The only kind friend, the
only good friend in all the world was death.
The simple, hearty occasional words of
her parents grated harshly upon her ear.
They had had their lives together. Of course
they might be thankful, but she

answered, as she buried her face on his
breast, "and for the gladness of this Thanks
giving-and, and, Jabez, dear, just a bit,
too, in sorrow beause I was so rebellious
when I thought I had lost you forever" T..
The blessings that are mans may be found
by searching, and every heart may find much
for which to be grateful at the coming of
day. .....>/~ -. -
