OF course. this made Frank all the more
wishful to know what 1t was, and poor
Jenny began to fear that she would never
be able 20 keep the secret, VIII Ii Uncle
James popped his head in at the nursery
door and said he had come to take FRANK
for visit to London.
.'Hurrah, hurrad,' cried Frank; Il don't
want to know your secret now.
A few minutes later he was dressed and
gone, and Uncle James did not bring him
back until it was bedtime. Then he was
SO tired with all the wonders he had seen
that he was glad to go to bed at once.
The next morning he had forgotten all
about Jenny'S secret, and was quite sur
prised when his sister peeped in at the
nursery. with the queer, wise look again.

to have made such a mistake in regard
to his uncle's directions. Then turning
to their host he asked:
Can you accommodate us for the night?

it's raining"
The host was only too glad to make a
bed on the floor of the cabin for Tom
and himself and to give his own rude
bunk in the corner to Blanche. And as
the children enjoyed the novelty of the
situation they began to stir about the
cabin, taking an interest in everything
there. And Blanche insisted on helping

On the following morning it was pour

much perplexed. for he had intended to

is. I was goin' down to old man Browns
for dinner today. But if this rain keeps

And the rain kept up till late in the
afternoon, so most appeuZlng dinner
was prepared by the host with Blanche s
assistance. The meal was much thu same

little effect on the three assembled about
the rude pine table whose cover was a
piece of brown oilcloth and whose dlSheS
were few, heavy and cracked. The meal
was thoroughly enjoyed, and after 1t was
over the host declared he'd never had so
dandy a time on Thanksgiv ng before.
After the rain had ceased. and the sun
came pouring through the leafess trees,
the host hitched up his one horse to d
little wagon and, inviting Blanche to take
the place beside him on the drivers seat,
he put bundle of straw in the bed OF
the wagon for Tom to sit on. Then
away they went, not SO very fast to be
sure, toward the home of the Browns
And to the children's surprise-and
amusement-their uncle and aunt had
just arrived d few minutes before and
were making anxious inquiry concerning
their little ''city kin. But all was soon
explained, and a good laugh enjoyed by
all. Then Mr.. and Mrs. Brown declared
that since they had been cheated out of
their company for dinner they would have
a supper in its stead. And after the sup
per the young folks from all about the
mountains would assemble and dance
be given.
And so ended a most enjoyable Thanks
giving day for Blanche and Tom, day
they will never forget, and of which they
will talk long after they are grown to
womanhood and manhood, and will doubt

dren and their children's children.
