her blush and look so baffied as she
glanced at me, and felt sure that
had scored a point. After this We
rode quickly home. 1t was almost

went together to look after the broken

My chum. John Meredith. was going
home. He was always signing for his
home. and at times this longing pos
sessed him 80 completely that he
seemed on the point of abandoning
his prospects of becoming rich man.
Meredith had been in i'll health, but
ten years. residence in the West had
made new man of him. Success at
last had come our way, and he sud-
denly announced that he was going
home for his Thanksgiving dinner.
He was quiet, queer fellow, any way
you put it: lately, however. he had
seemed wonderfully alert. The ar.
rival of the weekly mail found him in
q state of great expectation, and, after
he had read his letters, he would sit
quietly all evening looking very hap
py and smiling as he read them over
again. He always was non-commit-
tai chap, but this time there was no
m1staking the signs, SO suspected his
inconsistencies, and judged his case, as
one is apt to do, by the light of my
own. No wonder, poor fellow, that he
wanted to wipe out the 1.5OO miles
which alone stood between him and
that Thanksgiving turkey! For my
own part, can swear that no power
2. yet known to man could keep me
back from Jim McKenzie's Thanks
giving dinner, for Mary was to be
.there-Mary whom all these years
had remembered and loved so we'll.
There was but little out here in the
mountains to relieve the tedium of
our long evenings, so Jim McKenzie's
weekly visits were always heraldd
with joy. We made merry over his
coming, and our carefully prepared
dinner we regarded as a feast. At
rare intervals he would speak to us
of his own early trials, of his dead
