H0W Katy Made
Thanksgiving
for Her Father
and Uncle Will

Although a vain, bronze turkey
rustled his gorgeous feathers in a
corral, and there was a box of Gran
berries and some raisinS and other
"fixings" which showed preparation
for Thanksgiving dinner, Katy Holt
grew thoughtful every time that
Thanksgiving was mentioned. She had
a large scheme on hand that needed
tact courage and good luck to carry
1t through.
Tom Holt, her father was a gener-
GUS man, hospitable, friendly and
square, but his temper was violent
and flashy. One year ago, when
Thanksgiving was drawing near, Viii
liam Holt, her fathers only brother
had been her fathers partner In the
Red Dog gold mine In some way a
quarrel, the first of their lives, had
arisen between the two brothers. They
did not eat their Thanksgiving din
ner together, but went angrily apart. |
