ella Marsden said to herself as she
noted the date on the calendar and
counted only seven days before
Thanksgiving. The holiday promised
TO be a lonely one in the trim little
cottage.
Priscilla threw a scarf over her head
and walked out to the gate. Looking
down the bleak road toward the village
she remarked with shake of her head:
"Stevensville Is the stoopedest place.
Land, who'd ever believe we used to
have such good times? Why. you can
hardly see the path that was worn
smooth up to this gate then. And
she sighed Just little for those merry

She secured and polished the already

and drove her biggest turkey in the
coop to fatten. She didn't order her
groceries In Stcvensville, but rode to
Hamilton to avoid the questioning and
prying such lavish preparations would
be sure to cause.
In the general store the obliginG lit
tie clerk was so attentive and talked
so engagingly about Thanksgiving ne
cessities that Priscilla bought a num-
Der of delicacies hitherto unknown to
her. She learned that he expected to
take dinner with his mother-in law,
who was splendid cook" and that
he was to take them ell to see Uncle
Toms Cabin" in the evening. The
handblls, as he exhibited them. reused
a great desire in Priscilla to break all
the bonds of conventionality and go to
see little Eva. but finally she decided
that having her family reunion was
about as reckless as she dared be. In
