Cbe Jefferson,an


Then suddenly, without a word to
her, he went away and she had never
heard from him since.
Ada sometimes told herself that she
was foolish-that he had never really
cared for her, but she could never
quite convince herself that that was
true. He had never really told her
so, but she was woman and she
knew. She sometimes thought that if
she had never known him, or if he
had died, this loneliness would not
hurt her so. Anything but this
vague uncertainty-this haunting
memory of something she had missed
that ought to have been hers.
Her mother died the next winter
after she came home from college and
since that time she and her father
had lived by themselves.
Ada had had several offers of mar
rlage during those seven years, or
rather, she could have had. But she
was not coquette, and she was too
tactful and womanly to let man she
did not intend to accept get quite to
the proposing point. She might do
some things she did not want to do,
but it would not be to marry man
she did not love. No. She would
be true to her womanly ideal no mat
ter how miserable she became.
Thanksgiving Day dawned clear
and bright and rather cold. Ada rose
early, decorated the house with chry-
santhemums, and cooked her Thanks
giving dinner. She arranged the part
intended for herself and her father
on the range so that it would stay
hot. With the rest she filled two
baskets, and with each basket went
a lovely bouquet Of chrysanthemums.
She called Bill, the colored boy, to
carry the baskets for her, and started
out. They came first to Uncle Ike's
cabin. He was out getting turn"
of wood, but Aunt Cindy thanked
and blessed her profusely.
''I des tole Ike dis mawnin' [ done
feel des lax de Lawd gwinter sem us
some kind oh blessin' terday, an
sho huff hit done come. Bless de
honey chile!''
"Oh, go long and eat your dinner,
Aunt Cindyn' laughed Ada. Elm
no 'honey chile and I don't deserve
any blessing for that dinner"
Ada found the widow Carter card
ing CHATS" because she had the
rheumatic" in her hip so bad she
couldn't walk. Dot and Tony were
roasting potatoes in the fireplace and
Ben and Fanny, the two older chill
dren, were picking cotton.

Carter when Ada explained her visit

derstand that, Tabq" she said as she
stood up and gave the sleeping cat
a vigorous poke with the toe Of her
slipper.
Tab did not understand that, but
he understood that he had been dis
turbed, so he got up, stretched himself
and lay down on the rug by the dress
er.
And then Ada put piece Of wood
on the fire, so it would last until her
father came in, and went to the kitch-
en- to execut'> her newly-made plans,
for tomorrow would be Thanksgiving
Day.
Ada Horton was tall, graceful,
womanly and we'll educated. She had
wealth Of dark, reddish-brown hair
which she arranged handsomely on
top Of her head Her complexion
was fine creamy white and her eyes
were large and brown. She was
twenty-six and, as she said, misera-
BILE. Of a restless, energetic, intel
lectual temperament, the isolation
and loneliness of life on her fathers
big plantation sometimes became al
most unbearable, and her restless, am
bilious spirit was forever rebelling at
the lack of companionship, congenial-
ity and activity. Her duties as
housekeeper for her father kept her
busy enough but it wasn't what she
wanted to do and the monotony al
most tortured her.
Her brother Charlie often urged
their father to sell his farm and
move to town. Ada sincerely wished
that he would and sometimes insisted
that he should. But he would not.
He declared he could never be happy
anywhere else. No other place in the
world could ever be so dear to him as
his farm-the home Of his strong,
active manhoOd-the place where he
had reared his family and won sue
cess from the earth. Then, too, he
was too old to take up any other
work, but still strong enough to look
after his farm, and he must do some
thing. Idleness would be torture to
him.
Ada knew that what he said was
true, and she did not blame ham, for
