notion and set to with will making
preparations.
Men were sent out cunning for tur-
keys. geese and other feathered poul-
try barring crows and Indians. The
old flintlock guns kicked so that while
the bullet killed one bird the pilgrim
progressing through the air in the op-
posite direction would crush out the
life of another unsuspecting fowl
which merely considered himself an
innocent bystander until so rudely sat
upon.
However, this was n great saving of
ammunition, and the hunters soon re-
turned with bruises and game a-plenty.
The Indians, getting Whit of mince
pie with brandy sauce and other evi-
dence of heap big" free lunch, i'm
mediately became friendly and flocked
in to town with their best feathers on
and belts let out to the last hole.
This incident gave rise to the custom
which we follow to this day Of al
ways inviting outsiders in to Thanks
giving before they get a chance to
come without asking.
1t was a merry time indeed Every
body would sit down and eat awhile,
then go out and run races with the
Indians (Which had been done there
tofore under very different circum-
stances) until the violent exercise had
so aided digestion that they could eat
again.
So, taking it all in all the feast was
such a great success and took so with
the public that Manager Bradford de-
cided to reproduce it every year, and
thus the grand old custom has come

THE ONLY HEIFER CALF IN THE COLONY
familiar with the location of the best
grocery stores and meat markets, the
colonists were on n diet principally Of
little neck clans (much cheaper then
than now and eels, which they trod
out of the mud at low tide with their
bare feet
This undoubtedly brought into play
the stern bearing strength of character
Of these old fellows more than any
thing else, for what iron nerve it must
have taken to feel cold, squirming
eel suddenly wriggle up between ones
bare toes and not lose any dignity or
give way to unseemly remarks!
Spring came, and the planting was
done under very trying circumstances,
for the would be agriculturists could
hardly stoop over to bed in grain Of
corn but that some Indian with a
crude. primitive sense Of humor would
let loose an arrow.
However, the crops did splendidly
and were well attended, you may be
sure, for the clam and eel diet was
losing popularity.
The pumpkins spread all over the
place and were diligently plugged"
every day to save the vines, and the
extra shoots technically known as
'suckers'D were all cut off the corn
and fed to the only heifer calf in the
colony in hopes that she might be in
duced to grow up and become ma
ture COW some day.
The harvest was so abundant that
they even spared one pumpkin for the
children to make jack-o'-lantern of,
and by working all day and praying
all night everything was at last got in.
Now. Governor Bradford noticed how
tired, thin and thankful everybody
looked, and the most appropriate thing
he could think of in the way Of cele-
bration was to set aside three days to
see how big hole they could eat In

and he made Il sudden resolve. he
would have that Thanksgiving dinner
at all costs. He wrapped the picture
carefully in the paper that he had
lust taken of the Autumn Sunset"
and started out.
Perdigan looked at it with his under
lip pushed out and said;
"Well. I'd like to make you an offer
for it, but-you see, it isn't the sort of
thing that sells. I'll tell you, though,
If YOU would like to leave 1t here Pll

81 suppose you wouldn't care to ad-
vance me a little on it?" said Caswat-
ter.
'Why. I'd like to, but you know
that's altogether against our rules"
'Pn leave it," said Caswatter.
Caswatter went back to his studio
and did some more walking. Usually
he dismissed household cares easily
from his mind, but this dinner he had
counted on so surely. He could see 1t
actually see it. He laughed savage
" and, sitting down before his easel,
began to sketch the outlines of nam
moth turkey. Then the idea took him,
and he forgot his woes. Gradually
the turkey took shape and form, and
a celery glass topped with a fringine
bouquet of stalks and leaves appeared
beside it, then a bowl and a back
ground of pies. He drew up his stool
closer and began to spread on color
and worked more and more feverishly
until the waning light forced him TO
desist.
Early on the morning of the 25th he
arose and attacked his "Barmecides
Feast" with undiminished fury. BY
II o'clock it was finished. He took it
down into the little dining room, set
it up on the mantelpiece and then
called Mrs. Caswatter to look at it
There's your Thanksgiving dinner,
he said even look at that and imag
inc it's real"
Mrs. Caswatter was visibly impress
ed. "What genius you are" she said
admiringly. "That turkey looks as

At u O'Clock Mrs. Caswstter tapped

He says he's called for the balance of
his account. told him you were
busy, but he said he'd like to see you
and he'd wait"
Caswatter groaned, "WeH, I'll be
right down, DEAR" he said.
When he went downstairs he found
Tublin in the dining room standing be-
fore the turkey picture, open mouthed
with admiration.
"a fine picture that, SIR he said
with feeling.
"About that balance-hOw much is

'It's only five thirty-five," replied the
grocer. II was just passing and-I

Young Son Of Mine Foreman
Leaves Home at Mt, Clare
with Companion.


MT. CLARE, Nov. ,2.-There is much
anxiety in the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ward B. Malone, of the Hutchinson
addition to Mt. Glare, over the where
bouts OF their son, Edgar, who has
been missing since last Saturday. The
boy had been employed as trapper in
the Hutchinson mine, OF which his
father is foreman. Saturday was
pay day at the plant and shortly after
drawing his wages he disappeared in
company, with Charles c'Red"D Nc
Coy, a boy about the same age.
AS there was no reason for his
leaving home Edgar's sudden depar-
ture was shock to his family and
caused no little surprise among
neighbors. His father is giving all
his time in an effort to locate his
son, but as yet his efforts have been
fruitless. Presuming that the boy
and his companion had left the
country on freight train, messages
were sent to the railroad police in
various cities to keep a lookout for
them, but there has been no informa-
ton that they have been located.
Young Malone is IA years of age, OF
stocky build, has light hair, blue eyes,
and weights 115 pounds. Mccoy, his
companion, is tall, spare and red
headed. 1t is known that they left
Mt. Clare son the ) o'clock trolley car
Saturday afternoon and they have
been traced as far as WiIsonburs,
where they are believed to have
boarded a freight train.
Mccoy, despite his youthful years.
has travelled around great deal and
it is possible that it. was through his
influence that Malone was induced to
leave his home.
Harry l.. Brooks, police chief Of
Clarksburg, Thursday mailed $50
photograph postals, bearing a de-
scription of the Malone boy, to the
police OF various towns and cities in
West Virginia and adjoining states
The cards we're sent out by request
OF the boys father. He offers q re-
ward Of $50 for information concern
