THE EVENING STORY.
Thanksgiving for Thirteen
Copyright. 1914. by W. werner.)

The Griswolds' Thanksgiving had
been a double celebration for three
years. Three years before on Thanks
giving day the baby had been born.
And Nora. the best cook for miles
around, who was never known to over
look or undertook the simplest dinner,
had burned the turkey to crisp in
the excitement and furry of the oc-
casion. She had broken the news to
her mistress as soon as she was al
lowed to see her. but Mrs. Griswold
had looked down at the wee bundle
at her side with no room in her mind
for turkeys.
"A Thanksgiving baby, Nora. she
had said. Thank God!'
They laughed over it together after
ward. for Nora was more friend than
servant-intifuate enough. too, to know
that it was !; serious ching to turn
the seldom arriving turkey into
burnt Offering.
The three succeeding years had not
made turkey any more plentiful at
the Griswold home. The increase OF
prices gobbled with alacrity whatever
Of Increase accrued to Amos Griswoid
But Thanksgiving day always saw the
largest and juciest turkey in the Grls-
void oven and all the admiring rela-
tives came to celebrate Thanksgiving
day with the Thanksgiving baby.
This year the celebration was to be
the largest they had ever known. for
the baby's grandmother was travelling
1000 miles to see him. 1t was to be
Thanksgiving day indeed.
Nora and her mistress worked gayly
away together, making wonderful
cakes and pies. putting everything in
readiness. The day before Thanks
giving the turkey came home. They
viewed it admiringly together.
"'Tis a fine bird said Nora. the
biggest by two pounds We've had, or
miss my guess.
He's big enough. surely said her
mistress. But we'll' be a big family
that day. Let's see, Nj. Griswold, the

She broke off and turned to her mis-

her trembling mouth.
