ERNEST'S THANKSGIVING.

Oac cold day there was seen in the
streets Of New York a poor woman and
her little boy. Ernest. nine years OF age.
They lived in a small room over stable.
There was a small bundle of straw on
the floor, on which Ernest and his mother
slept An old wooden box held what
things they had. but very few things
they had to put in tho box. The clothes
that they wore were the only thincs
that they had. except a few pieces OF
china Ernests father had died when
he was very young, and this was the
cause Of their misfortunes.
The mother and her boy were wander
ing about the streets, trying 10 ind
something 10 eat, for they had had
nothing 70 eat that day. and it was
Thanksgiving Day, too. 1t was now
noon, and they had found nothing
Many a window had they passed and
looked In TO See large turkeys in the
dishes and q group or merry children
around the table. Once they passed a
yard and saw a turkey running about
and lots OF children trying TO catch it,
They stopped and begged for something
TO eat, but the rich children took no
notice OF them.
They walked on until they had reached
the outskirts OF the city Ernest saw
house on the hill. and wanted his mother
10 try that They had to cross bridge
and a railroad ran across the bridge.
AS they were about to cross the bridge
Ernest saw several broken planks under
the track. lie heard the whistle of the
train blow. and knew there would he
danger II there was not warning. Look
ing around. he saw Il red dress that
some one had hung out to dry. hanging
on a bush He reached over and took
the dress off the bush. The train was
now in sight. Ernest quickly waved
the goods
The eneineer stopped and asked what
the trouble was Ernest told him the
trouble The people were handing Ernest
money from the windows The engineer
took Ernest's name and then Ernest
went on.
They found n nights lodging at the
house on the hill. Ernest's mother
found out that the lady that lived IN
tho house was her long-lost sister.
Ernest and his mother forgot their oil
home. and they lived with his mother s.
sister.
Later on Ernest received box con-
tanning a sold medal and FIVE hundred
dollars from the railroad men. They
lived happily ever afterwards
