4 Balky Auto and
A Thanksgiving
Dinner For Two

ew had seemed an excellent
scheme when proposed, and to
Dicks delight Eleanor Halfway
had agreed to it enthusiastically
They were to eat their turkey and
cranberry sauce at the Daltons', and
Dick was to take Miss Halfway there
in his auto car. 4 thirty-eight mile
run over good hard roads in a crisp
autumn morning. with girl he was
rapidly coming to believe was the girl
was it any wonder that Dick was de
lighted?
You are sure we can make it%'
Miss Halfway had said after her first
ecstasy.
Absolutely The Pearl will romp
up the stretch in canter. The runs
a mere bagatelle, . explained Hutton
Now. after having so vouched for
the manners of the Black Pearl as
Dick called his auto cart was irri-
tating to have it stop short on lonely
and desolate byroad and refuse abso-
lutely to bulge farther.
The morning had been everything

wine, blue sky and hard, smooth,
ringing roads. Dicks heart had sung.

YE PlOUS PILGRIMS.
Ne Buck WAS Shot on Ye Lords Day,
buf They Ate lit.

buf they Ate 1t.
That the pious pilgrims of Plymouth
rock were not without some sense OF
humor is shown in this account of Il
colonial Thanksgiving church service
and dinner, written i'll the year 1T14
| by the Rev. Lawrence Conant of the
Old South parish III Danvers, Mass:
'.Ye governor was i'll We house and
her majesty's commissioners of We Gus
toms, and they sat together in high
seat of We pulpit stairs. Ye governor
! appears very deyout and attentive, al
though he favors episcopacy. He was
dressed in black velvet coat bordered
with gold lace aud buff breeches with
gold buckles at We knees and white silk
stockings
"There was a disturbance ia We gal
leries, where it was filled with divers
negroes, mulattoes and Indians, and
a negro called Pomp Shorter, belong
ing to Mr.. Gardiner, was called forth
and put in We broad aisle where he
was reproyed with great carefulness
and solemnity.
HE was put in We deacons' seat, be
tween two deacons, in view of We
whole congregation, but We sexton was
ordered by Mr. Prescott to take him
out because of his leyity and strange
contortion of countenance, giving
grave scandal to We grave deacons. and
put him in We lobby under We stairs.
when We services ut ye meeting
house were ended We council and other
dignitaries were entertained at We
house of Mr.. Epes on We hill near by,
and we had 4 bountiful Thanksgiving
dinner, with bears meat and venison,
the last of which was a fine buck shot
IN We woods near by.
"After ye blessing was crayed by
Mr. Garriek Of Wrentham word came
that We buck was shot on We Lords
day by Pequot, an Indian. who came
to Mr.. Epes with I've in his mouth,
like Ananias of old. Ye council there
fore, refused to eat We venison, but it
was afterward decided that Pequot
should receive forty stripes save one
for lying and profaning We Lords day,
restore Mr.. Epes We cost of We deer,
and considering this a just and right
eous sentence on We sinful heather,
and that a blessing had been crayed on
We meat, We council all partook of it
but Mr. Shepard. whose conscience
was tender on We point of We venison.'

AT THE CAPITAL.
How Thanksgiving Day Is Observed
In the Foreign Legations.

Our American feast is observed i'll
the foreign legations at Washington by
customs peculiar to the mother eoun-
try, and the dishes known in the .sfa-
TIERS house" are most in evidence,
even though the American fowl has its
place Sir Henry Mortimer Durand pre-
sides at the feast in the household of
the British embassy and gathers about
him Il coterie Of friends Here the Gus
tom of the country represented and the
one adopted bear a resemblance, and
the day is observed without a marked
change in their mode of living.
But III the legations of the Japanese,
the Korean and the South American
the conformity to American observ
ances, induced by the markets abound
ing in American foods, means 4 decid-
ed change on the menu cards, and yet
with but few exceptions the diplomats
and attaches make an effort to observe
the customs in our country.
The Chinese form an exception, for in
several instances the presiding genius
Of the Chinese kitchen has refused to
become enthused into any flights of
astronomical idealisms by Thanksgiy-
ing or any other Christian feast. Yet
the spread made on that day is of true
Celestial magnificence And when the
meal is over, with its varied dishes, the
Chinese minister and his close at
taches, no doubt. adjourn to the smok
ing room with their pipes and hop dol
and the feeling that ''all the world is
China, and China is like heaven Ina

accomplishments. However, it is sell
dom drawn to finer point than in the

asked a gunner if he could hit man

piled:

ING DINNER"
Now the singing had stopped, and after
half an hour of fruitless effort Dick
stood in the road and contemplated the
Pearl with disgust and perplexity.
Il can't find out what's the trouble,
he said. "She won't go, that's ALL
Miss Halfway looked about at the
somber stretch of gray woods on either
hand The sun had gone under cloud,
and a chill breeze rustled the dried
leaves. What are we going to do?"
she asked
"Oh, that's all right Dick replied
cheerfully. We'll get a rig from some
of the farmers hereabout and drive on.
It's only fifteen miles to the Daltons' ;"
But We'll be awfully late, won't
wey'
Dick glanced at his watch. Yes, I'm
afraid we will, but they'll forgive US.
I'm awfully sorry
"Oh, l don't mind bit" protested
Eleanor gayly 1T adds, don't you
know It's these little unexpectedness-
es that give zest to life. Only-where
shall we go? I don't see a house any
where
There's bound to be one somewhere
near Where there's fence there's a
farm" said Dick eagerly. You stay
here, and I'll go to the end of the
woods"
There's house just little farther
on, he reported on his return. eWe'll
just run the machine to the side of the
road and stroll over"
But viii it be safe?''
Its safe enough returned the
Pearls owner grimly. "Any one that
gets it to go can have it." he added as
he gathered up the wraps and they
started off down the road.
1T looks very quiet, doesn't it," COM
mented Miss Halfway as they neared
the place Il suppose here in New
England Thanksgiving is kept almost
like Sunday"
''They are all at dinner probably
the regulation Thanksgiving feed, you
know-all the family gathered at the
old homestead, the festive board groan-
ing under turkey and fxin's and pie

and vagrant don't you think-the pic

But these people,"
"Oh. they can't refuse two cast
Always"
The castaways hurried on at the
thought, but with increasing uneasi-
ness as they neared the house. No
smoke came from the chimneys, no dog
barked welcome. no face appeared at
any window. as they opened the gate
and went up the gravel walk.
DO you suppose they've gone away? r.
gasped Eleanor.
Looks like It, You sit here, and I'll
find out" Dick replied.
