There is a description of Franklin
place in Jacob Abbott's Marco Paul
in Boston," which was first published,
we believe, in 1853. Marco and Mr.
Forester while sojourning in Boston
boarded in Franklin street. Franklin
place is continuation of Franklin
street. In Franklin place the line OF
houses is straight upon one side, and
curved, like crescent, on the other
This makes the space between the
houses very wide, much wider than is
necessary for street. They have &C.

and planted trees and shrubbery In it,
The inclosure is long and narrow, and
extends up and down the place in the
middle of it, and has paved street on
each side between the Enclosure and
the houses. The Enclosure is sur.
rounded by a sort of fence or paling,
and it presents a very agreeable appear
ance as seen from the windows of the
surrounding houses; and. in fact, it
makes Franklin place, in the summer
season, one of the most alluring
streets in Boston to the eyes of stran

~&Sh \ from the nrst moment the
lgEST new invention appeared,
soaring his steady old horses almost
to death, and breaking up one of his
best farm wagons, Deacon Phipps had
no patience with any kind of a motor
vehicle.
AS time went on, and many of his
neighbors bought automobiles, his
horses became wonted to them and
turned never hair when they whizzed
by; but the good deacon did not re
lent. Whenever one passed him on
the road, throwing, perhaps, shower
Of dust or mud upon his modest car
riage, and leaving behind it a trail
Of ill-odor, he would mutter (under his
BREATH words which no good deacon
should ever. ever use.
The deacon and his wife grew old,
and their six children all married, ex-
cepting Rhoda, the youngest, who
stayed at home to take care of them.
The four sons were prosperous, and
the older daughter had married very
rich man and lived one hundred or
more miles away. Two sons had be-
come farmers and lived quite near.
One was a merchant in a large town
perhaps fifty miles distant. The fourth
one was a minister, settled in the
same town with the merchant brother.
To the infinite disgust of Deacon
Phipps, all of these sons, excepting
the minister, owned automobiles, and
Thomas, the merchant, actually sport
ed three or four. When his father
found this out, he came almost to the
point of breaking of relations with
Thomas.
In the old days, the family had
used to gather on the day before
Thanksgiving. and the large, airy
chambers of the ample Phipps home
stead could accommodate them all.
Now the children and the grandchil-
dren had increased in number until
such gatherings were no longer pos
sible. The uncles and aunts had died
or had become intirm. There had
been some pretty lonely Thanksgiv-
ings at the. hospitable Phipps farm.

success never comes to the man who
does not recognize the Importance OF
both. The right kind of accomplish

come from too close adherence to the

Miss Rhoda Phipps was quite equal
to the task of taking care of the old
people. A strong woman helped her
in the kitchen, and there were neigh
bors near by who were ready to do
extra work. Job, the good middle
aged man who had taken care of the
horses for many year, was no mean
hand at household as well as stable
service, and at this special Thanks
giving season Miss Rhoda kept them
all busy until the pantries were piled

Presently over the brow Of the hill

came a great touring car. The deacon
scowled, but as he heard, first the

rough roar of the Klaxon, his face re-
Taxed a little. Who were In the car?
1t was not the family of son John.

Aunt Betty, who could not have
dreamed of coming in anything except
such softly padded vehicle, the tears
were dropping all over Mother Phipps'
best white lace jabot.
Such Thanksgiving Every sin
gle one of the Phipps children and
grandchildren was there! The good
deacon's voice trembled with Joy as
he asked the blessing, and poured out
his thanks before God.
"But you know, father" said Thomas
Phipps, slyly, there are several of us
who couldn't possibly have come If it
hadn't been for those automobiles that

The deacon ahemmed, and bristled
a little, but in the face Of the loud
merriment which greeted this perfect

ing remarks could not bel heard.
'You know there really isn't much
danger from automobiles nowadays,

automatically. The chauffeurs are

easily-oh, in every way they are I'm

Thomas, amid the eager looks of all
the others, who were evidently full of
suppressed excitement "We-well-
we've feel as though we all wanted
to see more of you and mother than
we have seen lately. but we don't feel
safe to have you travelling around on
the cars any more, and your horses
can't take you as far as most of us
live, so we have dubbed together and
have bought you the strongest and
handsomest limousine car that we
could find. We have put a sum at in

how to run it. You know he has been
away good many afternoons. Well,
he has been learning how to run

and mother can heat big soapstone
and climb into your limousine and
come and see US all, and we expect
you to do it. Now what do you say
to that. fathor?"
What could the old man say?
He turned red, stammered, looked
at his wife. who was smiling signifi-
cantly, and then had the grace TO
accept and thank his children for their
munificent gift.
