The Thanksgiving
Turkey That
Disappeared
BY TEMPLE BAILEY.

The general is coming to dinner"
said the Little Mother.
What generai?" demanded Dick and
Dolly in unison.
With their round eyes upon her the
Little Mother found 1t rather hard TO
explain. They were such rabid lit
tie confederates that II was somewhat
difficult TO make them understand why
she was extending her hospitality to
their enemy.
You see," she began gently. "the
general has been very kind to US since
the troops were stationed here on our
plantation. He has not allowed any

he sent you good things. and insisted
upon one OF his surgeons attending

I might show my gratitude by asking
him to help US eat our turkey at
Thanksgiving"

children were somewhat reconciled.

old Chloe did wonderful things with
her pots and pans reused in them

When dinner was ready Dick and
Dolly. on tiptoe with excitement,
danced around the table. Then sud
denly the door opened and there ap-
peared. not the general. but two thin

Father" Dick shrieked. and Dolly
threw herself into his arms.
The thin man kissed them both and
gathered them with the Little Mother
into his embrace.
NO one must see u.s." he said
hoarsely. we are trying to get back
to our lines, but ] could not resist
coming home for Thanksgiving and
eating my turkey with you"
The Little Mother rung her hands
You must hide" she gasped. The
general is to be our guest at dinner"
He stared at her. The general-my
enemyT"
Il cannot explain" she said wildly.
He will be here in a moment You
must hide"
He turned dejectedly from the room.
and with his oomrade climbed the
stairs. Then the attic door was shut.
Dick and Dolly and the Little
Mother stared at each other.
oh! he's got to have that turkey"
Dolly said. Every mUIthful would
choke me IL I ate it,
Dick nodded. He's our father" he
stated. and he is worth a thousand
generals"
But what shall we tell the gen.
eral?'' the Little Mother asked. He.
would suspect"
Tell him the truth" Dick said
You needn't say that father is in the
house, but you can say that you gave
the turkey to some ragged Confeder-
ates-that is what they are-and he
needn't know that they are in the at
tic. He will think that they went on"
Yes, yes" the Little Mother agreed,
He will think they went on"
She snatched the platter from the
table, and with Dick and Dolly fol-
lowing with the gravy and a great
dish Of mashed potatoes. she few to
the attic.
Thus 1t happened that when the
general came he walked into an empty
dining room. His keen glance swept
the table, taking in the fact that there
was no turkey. l have SO many apol-

When her apologies went further,

and he found that no turkey was to
be served, he felt that he had been
defrauded. But, in spite of his appe-
lite the general was a kindly gentle
man and the Little Mothers worried
face and downcast air made him feel
that there was something behind her
simple story Of how she had been leo
by sympathy to give the turkey to
two ragged Southerners.
AS the dinner progressed he found
himself expanding. The baked ham
was delicious and the mince pies, the
good coffee, the toasted crackers and
rich old cheese were greatly to his
liking.
Il don't begrudEe those fellows the
turkey" he said. Indeed, ! wish they
were here with US in the warmth and
cheer instead of out in the frozen
fields"
Dick and Dolly looked at their
mother. IF we dared tell him." was
what their eyes said. But the Little
Mother shook her head: she would not
put the generals generosity to such
test.
The general. accustomed to reading
faces, saw that here was a mystery.
Your husband?" be asked the Lit
tie Mother. lis he with Lee"
My husband" she faltered. and
then in a fash the general knew!
Her husband was in the house eat
ing the turkey that had disappeared!
At this moment Chloe appeared on
the threshold, bearing a tray on
which were the glasses OF spiced
grape Juice with which the meal would
end.
The general had an inspiration. Not
through him should there be any vio-
lation of hospitality. He raised his
glass. Let US drink a toast" he said.
TO your father. May he live long and
prosper. and next Thanksgiving eat
his turkey with you at this table"
The Little Mother flashed a glance
at him. She felt that ne had OWNED
the truth, and her heart was full of
gratitude.
God bless you. general" she muir
INJURED.
Upstairs in the attic two shabby
men picked the bones of the turkey
and ate a mince pie apiece. And pres
emily up to them came Dick and Dolly.
The general has gone. dear father"
they cried. and now at last you're
safe"

SUPPLY OF COPPER

GENEVA, Oct 2S Reports that the
supply OF copper and brass Is falling
in Austria are brought from Vienna.
Their attention was called TO the fact
that all the copper and brass fittings
in the trains had been removed and
replaced by iron or wood, while in
many coaches canvas straps replaced
leather. Austria like Germany, has
organized copper and brass days

For several months efforts have
been made by the Austrian authorl-

however, is going on via the lake OF

PLANS FOR GERMAN LOAN.
Banks Reported in Good Condition to
Take Care of Issue.

BERLIN. via London. August 4.-The
chief business of the reichstag, which
assemblies August 19, will be to vote
new credits for war purposes. While
the details of the new bonds have not
been arranged, it is assumed in bank
Ing circles that the amount. like that
of the last loan. will be unlimited. The
rate will be s per cent. but the sub
scription price is expected to be some
what above 9a. as compared with 98k
for the March loan.
The prospects for the success Of the
next loan are regarded as being highly
satisfactory. The great German banks
say they have completely sold out
their bonds of the two previous war
loans and now have unusually heavy
deposits. These recently were swollen
SO abnormally that the Berlin banks
short time ago reduced the rate paid
on current deposits to the normal level
