SHE HEARD A SOFT RAP AT THE WINDOW.

Ruth set her teeth together hard and
tight.
So that was where John was going
for Thanksgiving-and she had been
up there taking tea-just as though
that girl didn't know that Aunt James
Prouty's was no place to go for tea,
and she down with rheumatic! Well,
she hoped he'd have a pleasant even.
ing. As for that pie-and she looked
at 1t ruefully-she'd taken too much
pains with hat t. waste it on a lot
Of overgrown boys and cider drinking
men. She'd give it to the pigs-that's
what she'd do with it. Nobody else
should eat it if John couldn't.
Then as she looked at the pastry that
had given her so much pleasure and
SO much disappointment she said she'd
give it to old Ma'am Jefferson, down
the valley. She was living there alone,
lonesome-like. and 1t would make her
Thanksgiving day happier to know
that somebody thought of her up there
on the hill.
So when the cider and apples were
brought and everybody was fixed cozily
enough around the kitchen fire and In
the neat big square sitting room Ruth
stole out with the pie in her hands
folded in a white towel, and, tripping
lightly across the fields, she knocked
at the door of the little cottage where
Ma'am Jefferson lived alone, but re-
ceived NO answer. The latchstring
was hanging out. She pulled it gently
to rattle the latch; but, still hearing no
sound from within. she pushed the door
open and entered. No m was there
but a big Bible lay open on the stand,
and the iron bowed spectacles were
upon it. Ma'am Jefferson had evident.
ly been called away in a hurry, prob.
ably to see some sick neighDor, Ruth
said to herself, and she would be glad
to find so1ne trace of loving thought

Then Ruth wrote a little note, sad
from the feelings that oppressed her,
vet kindly from the wealth Of her W
kind heart and left it with the pie.
There's company up at u house."

she knew for what 1t was only that
perhaps John Prouty would come
around IN Thanksgiving evening.
John was always fond of mince pies,
as she remembered perfectly well, and
now his mother was dead, and he was
living at Uncle James, and Aunt
James Prouty had rheumatism, and
altogether there was not much pros
pect for John to have any Thanksgiv-

And SO Thanksgiving day came, and
there were uncles and cousins and
friends of all parties by dozens and
dozens gathered beneath Farmer Hark

A Plain Americans
Thanksgiving

Having lived more than a half CEN
fury in America, a descendant Of the
early settlers. and having given to my
children the message of hope received
from my parents, l am qualified to
express publicly a word of t~hanksgiv-
ing, says a correspondent of the New
York Evening Post Inseparable in my
mind are our Father, my country, my
home, my neighbor. Thus apply:
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall
not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures; he leadeth me beside the still
waters.
He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me
In the paths of righteousness for his
names sake.
Yea, though l walk in the valley Of
the shadow of death, | will fear no
evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me In
the presence of mine enemies; thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup
runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall fol
low me all the days of my life, and l
will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever"
And America, like the good wife In
Proverbs, 'shall do me good and not
evil all the days of my life"
My country, it's of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
OF thee ] sing.
Here more than elsewhere on earth
is practiced that sum of knowledge,
Love one another"
America, l thank, l love, l serve thee.
Thy honor Is mine. My best, my all,
are thine.
Americas best is yet to be.

Hours and hours Ruth sat alone by
the kitchen fire waiting for the last
sound of life to die out in the house
that she might rake up the embers and
lock the doors, for she was a notable
housekeeper, this brave young girl, and
took her invalid mothers place as far
as possible in all things.
But while she was sitting alone by
the kitchen fire she heard a soft rap
ut the window, and, looking up, she
saw Johns face in the moonlight, ear
nest and smiling as he beckoned to her.
In the instant the thought flashed
over her, proud and decorous Yankee
girl that she was, that he had been
spending the evening with Miss Greg
Dry, and it was worse than im~pertinent
FOR him to call there OF his way home.
She would not answer his summons.
She thought he would go away, and SO
he did-from the window, but only to
come quietly In at the door.
Sitting down on the settee beside
her, he spread his hands over the dy-
ing embers to warm them and said,
with a slight SILVER:
at is chilly out tonight, Ruth, and
I have been thinking of you"
She turned up her nose a little at
this; but, dreading to hear anything
more that she would think was false,
she told him very quietly:
Il saw you go down the lane with
Miss Gregory early this evening. I
should think it most likely that you
had been thinking of her since then"
John turned and looked at her, lots
of fun brimming up In his brown eyes,.
But when he saw how tired and sad
she looked he answered her gently:
mo, little girl; 1 have been thinking
of you, as l said, and the last thing /
did before coming here was to drink
a cupful of tea and eat a piece of pie
of your making. While l drank the
tea l was thinking-no doubt 1t will
sound foolish to you-but l was think
ing how every one of those little grains
had been cuddled in the palm Of your
hand as you measured them out, and
the pie was as sweet as though you
had stirred the mince with your finger
before putting it between the crusts."
Ruth was laughing and blushing at
his foolish words, and he, enjoying her
confusion, put up one hand and drew
her head down on his shoulder.
81 don't know what you mean," she
said presently. 81 haven't turned cook
for Miss Gregory"
NO." he interrupted her; II forgot
that you didn't know where 1 had
been. Tom Gregory was thrown from
a colt tonight, and they thought his
leg was broken. His sister came across
lots for me to go down there and see
what l could do for, him. We didn't
like to stop at your house for help,
because you had SO much company, SO
we went and got Ma'am Jefferson and
took her over with us. We made the
boy as comfortable as we could, and
she said no bones were broken. So
then l went home with her, and there
was the fire your care had frightened,
and the tea and the pie"
The girls heart was beating very
fast as John said, MY Thanksgiving
will be complete, Ruth, If you will
promise to be my wife,"
After they were married she told him
that the pie had been made on pur-
pose for him.

All our days
We give thee praise.
o God. who holdest in Thy hand
And didst exalt and bless our land
And gavest it from sea to sea
To all embracing liberty,
We give thee praise
All our days.
For the golden glow of the orange tree.
For the purple grapes, for the honeybee.
For the waving plumes Of the yellow grain.
For the glorious sunshine and for the rain,
The coal in the mine, the ore in the hill,
The throb of the engine, the whistles shril,
The FIRE of the forge and the anvl's ring.
For the linking phone and the cable string.
The whir of the loom. the clack of the mil,
For the auto speed and the airship's thrill,
For the horse of flame on the road of steel
And the wireless voice that makes loud
appeal,
For our busy marts and our busy streets,
Where the white, black. brown and yeL
low man meets;
For the strong true arm of the workman
brave,
For our churches and schools with power
to save,
For hearts of our women, brains Of our
men,
For the laureled harvest Of brush and
pen,
For the wealth of herds on the prairies
vide,
For the new homes rising on every side,
For the law that shields where our flag
is unfurled.
For peace in our land and with all the
world,
For our mighty name. in all mems sight.
The pledge we must walk for aye N thy
light,
All our days
We give thee praise.

Had it been a single two-cent stamp,
probably the conscience fund would
not have been enriched by that much.
In fact, whenever the sender of a.
two-cent stamp is known the stamp is
returned. For it costs more to change
a two-cent stamp into a cash asset,

The sender of the two-cent stamps
was trying to compensate twofold for
