happy.
So after dinner he mounted his
horse and rode back to the captains
field. 1t was very dark, but he went
softly over the stubble. and when he
had found the pumpkin he worked
busily for several minutes, and some
thing sounded softly, "Clink, clink.'
And presently he went back TO his
horse, smiling to himself in the dark
as very few people had ever seen
him smile In the day time.
The next morning, which was the
day before Thanksgiving, the captain
said TO the twins, To-day we will
bring in the pumpkin, and tomorrow
o shall have a pie to celebrate
Thanksgiving I should like to make
more, but I ave only n egg and no

hands, they hurried out to the field,
where the great pumpkin lay basking
in the sunlight.
1T seems almost a pity to cut It,"
said the captain, regretfully, but the
twins cried:
Think OF III pie, dear captain!"
The captain rolled the pumpkin
over and whisked out his knife to cut
the stem, when, all at once, the great
yellow halves fell open. disclosing a
pile of glittering gold pieces.
For a moment the captain stared,

THE PUMPKIN WITH
THE GOLDEN SEEDS
A Story Of a General, a Captain, a Pair
of Twins and Thanks

OF wins ana nanks-
giving.
The little captain was very poor
But that did not make him unhappy.
No, indeed. Every morning he wenl
whistling TO his work, n every even
ing, after he had eaten his supper OF
SOUP and bread, he sat in the door OF
his cottage and smiled at the people
who went down the long white road.
Even the great general who rode
by on his great war horse would come
out Of his stern meditations when the
captain called, "A pleasant ride, gem
! eraI,1 and would reply, THANK you,
comrade.0 so that after a time the
poor people OF the village began TO
grow proud OF the little captain who
was greeted every day by the general,
for surely that was a great honor.
Thus the little man lived peacefully
until one day there came down the
road two little children. They were
twins, very small and very pretty,
and nobody knew whence they came;
but when they reached the captains
doorstep, they sat down and began
to cry.
The little captain rushed put from
his tiny kitchen where he was heat
ing his soup, and knelt beside them
and wiped the dirty, heated faces.
what Is the matter, my children ~
he asked.
But the twins cried on. and at last
the little captain ran back into the
house and poured some Of the hot soup
into a bowl and brought 1t out. and
the tears fled as the twins tasted and
ate hungrily; and when they had I'M
ished. they held up their rosy faces for
a kiss; and Their the little captain
laughed, and the twins laughed, and
after that, every evening, the captain
and the twins sat together on the step
and nodded to the people. and hen
the general passed now, he said:
Good day. little people" n once
he gave each of the twins q ride. while
the village people stared and wondered
at his condescension.
Soon 1t came about. however. that
the captain did not whistle when he
went to work, and he smoked hrs pipe
no more In the evening. for now he
had three mouths to feed instead of
one, and the twins were growing and
their appetites We're growing with
them.
All OF his spare time he worked in
his little garden. where he raised a
few vegetables, but the pride Of his
life was his pumpkin vine.
'sWait until Thanksgiving he would
say to the twins. Such pies as we
shall havei"
And the, twins smacked their lips
and grew impatient
But when the fall anne there was
only n pumpkin on the vine. and
that was not round and yellow like
an ordinary pumphin. puu oval tnu
orang -colored and as big as a wheel
barrow.
The captain was very proud OF 1t.
"I must give IL q name" he said. as
he stood one morning In the frosty
field. and surveyed his prize. II will
call IL the Pomeranian pumpkin"

twins. who always talked together.

The properties for the Thanksgiving
dinner scene are a long, narrow table

Before showing her pictures Madam
Moselle should stand before the scene
and say a few words extofling the
scene she is about to present.
The girl who represent Madam Mo-
selle can make a hit by presenting a

with ludicrous mistakes.

Unjust be put out and the scene quickly
arranged close to the screen, all the ac-

table. Thus remain two empty chairs
AS quickly as possible the light

and saw himself confronted by enc
mics, human and animal. But he saw
he could escape them, il he could only
manage to make the three days jour-
ney to the upper edge of the picture.
To max the first days journey sue
cessfully, he had to start from the

of the points marked "A" on the left
hand. These "A" points represent apple
trees and on one of them poor old Tur-

A pretty little a~fter-dinner trick r.
to make little dancing figures Of bits
OF cork and tiny pieces of toothpick.
The base for them is a small hemis-
phere that can be made In a few mo-
ments by pinching and rolling a piece
of tinfoil into the required shape. All
that is necessary Is to see that 1t is
perfectly smooth and perfectly true in
shape.
Then rrumble bits of cork roughly
into the shape of men and women or
animals, pinning the parts together
with slivers from toothpicka. With a.
little ingenuity exceedingly ludicrous
figures can be made. They may be-
colored with a black end of a burned
match.
Pin them on the fiat side OF the tim
foil hemisphere and set ii on the table.
The little figures are so light that
the tinfoil will keep them upright all
the time. They may be laid fiat or
may be shaken in all directions: yet
they viii always bob right up again
and the resulting motions often are
very funny.
