THANKSGIVING AT
LONESOME HOLLOW

OSelnS dWlully lOTlOTH u Sdl
Thanksgiving dinner all alone" said
Milly soberly, looking at the young
fellow who sat mending a harness
strap beside the blazing hearth. i
haven't the heart to get up big
dinner for just us two"
Il don't see what else we can do.
No neiehbors to invite except old
Pete Sprat, and he wouldn't come.
We might send him something by
way of being neighborly."
And be turned away for our
pains" the woman laughed.
You can't even go out on the
highways and hedges and gather
in stragglers like the ancient host of
Bible fame. Maybe it is just as
well not to have all the work of
getting up a Thanksgiving dinner,
for it seems to me that you look
tired, Milly. What's the natter"
Nothing, Jim, l guess l need a
little outing. I'll take a run across
the Hollow and be back before sup
per"
Milly put on her cloak and went
out into the crisp Autumn after
noon. The woods were bare except
for a few torch-like flames of red
which marked the presence of an
occasional gum tree. The sky was
clear, cold, and pallid, tinged with a
greenish glow where the dark for
eSts trimmed the far horizon. Not
a sign of human habitation was Wis
ible, and not a sound broke the
vast stiffness save the steady tap
tap of a woodpecker, The loneli-
ness oppressed Milly strangely. For
two years she had endured it in
cheerful silence, working patiently
at whatever her hand found to do
in the rough little shack which had
gradually assumed a cozy, home
like appearance. They had left
the busy, grinding East in quest Of
health for her young husband, who
was slowly regainine his lost
strength and vieor in the bracine
climate of Colorado, which alone
kept Milly'S heart light and hopeful
but in spite of that joyful fact she
could not dispel a shiveI of loneli-
ness when she thought of the long,
dreary Winter before them.
I'm getting, morbid simply for
the want of little company" she
said, as she walked down the I'M
travelled road in the face of the
crisp north wind. That will never
do for you Milly Bennett. For Jim'S
sake you mustn't give way to such
foolishness."
Suddenly Milly's ear caught the
sound of chopping which seemed to
come from the Hollow beyond the
divide. She turned and made heI
way easily through the leafies;
thicket. walking briskly over thu
hill and down the opposite deScen
until she distinctly heard voices
Further on, at the edge of a natura
clearing, she came upon a party o
travellers camped beside a newl,
kindled fire, where a lean, gaun
appearing fellow busted himsel
, with preparations for the evening
meal. They were eight in all,
rough, unkempt lot in leather
jackets and rusty boots. Besid
> the cook lay a bag of -four, a rash
er of bacon and two jugs stoppe
with corncobs.

cheerful little shack, with Jim
waiting for her beside the glowing
hearth.
Il suppose you are simply camp
ing here for the night" she veutur-
ed, looking about at the meagre
comforts of the camp.
Well, no." answered the black
browed man who impressed her at
once as being spokesman of the
party. we came down to prospect
a bit. There's talk of gold in this
claim, and if it's worth our while
we may set up for a week or two"
oh, then, you'll be here over
Thanksgiving, won't you? I'd like
to have you all take dinner with
us tomorrow"
The man looked at his fellows
with a curious smile, half question
ing, half credulOus. It's rather I'M
expected" he remarked humor-
ously.
"Oh, we're all neighbors out here,
you know" Milly explained cordial
ly. MY husband would be very
glad to have you with US. We are
from the East, and we're used to
having company for ThankSgiv-
ing"
Your husband is a prospector,
too, take it?"
oh, no. He came out here for
his health two years ago, when he
was all run down with overwork.
We expect to stay here until he's
quite we'll"
We didn't notice any houses as
we passed along. Where do you
live?"
Two miles below here. on the
Sunrise road, not on the trail. Will
you come over tomorrow"
We'll. being as you're so kind as
to take the trouble to invite us
we'll be glad to accept your hos
pitality, and thank you"
Very well. shall expect you
promptly at IL. There are eight
of you, aren't there? want you
all, remember. Now. I'll 60, for
the walk is rather long. You cross
the hill and 90 straight south til
you reach the Sunrise wagon road,
which will take you directly to our
shack, going west. Goodnight"
Milly returned in great good spir-
its. Jim looked dubious at first,
but he was 10th to damp the ardor
of his good little helpmeet by voic-
ing his doubts as to the wisdom of
inviting eight strangers to their
home.
You don't mind, do you Jim?"
Milly asked anxiously.
Not a bit. If it pleases you let's
nave them by all means"
You should have seen them!
Great, gaunt, hungry-lookine fellows
who probably haven't had a good
dinner for a year. l do believe
Providence sent me across their
path expressly to give them a
treat"
Il hope we have enough stuff on
hand" said cautious Jim. 1T will
take a heap to satisfy eight hungry
men, you know"
OF course we haveplenty. Wei

BIG PURSES FOR TAKE RACES
Enormous sum Has Been Pledged by
Saratoga Association.

NEW YORK, Dec. IS.-Officials of the
Saratoga Racing association are busy on
a stake program for 1910 which will entail
tine expenditure Of 100000. Last August g.
score Of gentlemen interested in the future
Of Saratoga as a racing point agreed to
contribute not less than 5000 'to. be de-
voted to stakes. The club itself~wm in a
few weeks offer a series of stakes to which
it will pledge itself to add enough to make
up another $4,000. Last summer four
stakes of the gross value of $4,000 closed to
be run in 1910.
With the strong probability that the sea-
son in 1910 will be not less than twenty
days, at least 100 overnight events of the
gross value Of $50, 900 will be run in add
ton to the stakes. Adding to this the
sweepstake money in the overnight races,
and in all the sum of $500, 900 for twenty
days is easily reached. This would mean
an average Of s1O,ooO a day.

atoms in the rules looking toward a dis
tinct minimizing OF the chance of serious
accident. I do not know that I am suffi-

One Of the most peculiar accidents
in railroad traffic that has occurred
in this section of the State for some
time was that of an ]. c. engine on
the main line Of the road Saturday
afternoon. A large rock rolled off
Of Mulzer's hill few miles from
Horse Branch. as the train dashed
by. striking the whistle Of the en-
gino center and crashing the blow
ing apparatus clear off the boiler.
The results were that all the steam
in the engine escaped and brought
the train to a complete stop. An
engine was sent from Louisville to
take the train on to its destination.
