} THANKSGIVING DINNER

a treasure house of crispy, golden
brown things and delightful odors.
After the pies had come out. the
plumpest pig obtainable was popped
into their place, followed immediately
by a lusty' gobbler, and finally by
chicken pie. In the meantime, atop
the kitchen stove, rutabagas, which
Mrs. Barclay called yellow turnips,
potatoes and onions were all to be
cooked. Nuts from the woods back
of the house were to be cracked, and
in less than no time the young bride
was fitting busily about in big
apron, helping as earnestly as If she
had known Uncle Johns folks" all
her life. Incidentally she gathered
these receipts:
Roast Pig-Prepare the dressing for
the pig and the turkey together. Take

all the brown crust, break it up into

water over 1t. Let It stand one min

tossing it at once into another bowl.

pepper, two teaspoonfuls Of salt, two of

herbs mixed fine, a cup of melted but

pig, and add to this an onion chopped
very fine.
Now take the pig, which has been
thoroughly scalded. rinse 1t inside and

baking soda has been dissolved, and
rinse again in clear water. Wipe dry

And so Mrs. Dinsmore woke on that
crisp November morning to see
glistening picture in frost work on the
attic window and to sniff the most
delicious combination of spicy odors
that ever reached her retrousse nose.
She could hardly wait to slide down
the steep uncompromising fight of
wooden stairs.

Young Mrs. Barclay stood enrap-
tured before the great oven built of
brick, five feet deep, three feet wide
and two feet high, yawning like
cavern in the very walls of the din
ing-room. 1t was used but once
year, in honor Of the Puritan feast
day, and for days before all the men
about the place had been gathering
slabs from hemlock fences to feed
the flames. At this moment the oven
was filed with pies. Later it would

"Ughl I feel as il some one were
walking over my grave As she
started out she cast wistful glance
at the lights behind.
An hour before a dark figure had
been restlessly plOwing its way
through the increasing storm in the
direction of the Fountain Of Trevt. 1t
was DR.. Weston. He had thought all
day Of the beautiful woman whom he
had won after all these years and who
was to be his tomorrow. Yet on this
night his mind was filed with visions
of the dead man with whom he had
broken faith.
His happiness suddenly stood out
before his mental vision like a beauti-
full orchid IN the dark night. and II,
too, had grown, like soma OF those
plants, from out human skull An
imperceptible though irresistible force
impelIed him in the direction Of tho
fountain. As he neared It his heart
beat tumultuously. The gway1ns

he started nervousfy. He turned quick

their sockets. The dark clouds thae
