knowledge Is the following:

See what happens to the turkey
when it flies south of Mason and Dix
on's line!
Mrs. Duvall of the Dover house in
Maryland vouches for this transforma-
ton:
<''The men go off hunting and the
mistress may finish some book she has
been trying to read for the last year;
and when the hunters come in, glowing
with the exercise of climbing over the
fields, with twenty or thirty birds, a
dozen ar SO rabbits and three or four
~woodcocks, we all gather in the big,
warm kitchen and pick birds-yes, and
clean them, too-while the men build
a big fire on the huge brick fireplace
In the dining DON and n Of the
maids sets the table.
"And how beautiful 1t is, with the
dancing light of the pine knots reflect
Ing the silver and china in the waxed
mahogany Then we broil the birds;
yes, we all cook them, basting and
turning them and dripping them with
melted butter, and finally busting with
salt and pepper-fresh ground, 1t is.
"The candles are lighted, and-nois-
lily, maybe impatiently, perhaps
knowing the wonderful taste of the
broiled birds, we gather around the
long oval table. Plates of hot biscuits
are brought In, hot coffee with hot milk
is our drink, and great cakes of wild
honey taken from a tree in the woods
where the hunters had found it.
"That is a Thanksgiving dinner here.
"And in the kitchen the rabbits are
'skun,' and Aunt Mary, true to her
good lard negroes are not allowed to
use lard; they must fry out fat from
fat back') In three or four iron skill
lets, cuts the rabbits up and dips them
In flour, salt and pepper. and fries
them all brown and crisp-and v

kitchen is set, and the delicious
Drowned rabbit and pans and pans of
cornbread and the bits of wild honey
that were too broken to be sent In the
house are ready, Aunt Mary asks the
blessing-for she is very devout-then
silence reigns for a while, maybe for
half an hour.
"But finally a mouth organ is drawn
from Joe's pocket, and soon the rhyth-
mic shuttle tells us who have finished
our birds that Rena is dancing; and
we all troop out to see the girls dance,

ticle recently and would be happy to
return it to the owner If he will claim
1t and prove ownership"
I swept the board with my glance,
but saw 40 sight of a gfve-away on
any girls face. Then I continued:
"Since there is no claimant for the
article, I will put it up at auction, re-
serving the right to bid to the men
present of my own generation, the
proceeds of the sale to go to charity"
l called for bids, and one of my
cousins, Jack Somers, bid 20 cents.
There was an exclamation of disap-
probation for such an offer, and when
another of my confederates bid so
cents 1t was repeated. The gem alone
could not have been worth less than
$25. When every man who was per-
mitted to bid had done so, $2.75 was
the highest offer received.
I knocked the article down to the
successful man, Jim Atwood, and he
handed me the money. "What luck!"
he exclaimed, holding the pin before
him admlringly. "Ive wanted some
thing like this for a gift to my ~iancee,
and now / have found it."
The fact of another girl possessing
her jewelry was too much for its
owner. Becky Aldrich showed by her
expression that she was at least to be
suspected. I took the pin from Jim
and tossed 1t to her. A telltale blush
confirmed my suspicion, and, the eyes
of all the company being concentrated
on Becky, it deepened into scarlet.
Then there was a burst of laughter,
In which everyone Joined heartily but
Becky.
Becky pretended to be very much
offended with me for the course I had
taken. This caused me to feel uncom-
Portable, and / e~ndeavored to placate
her. Becky for a long while refused
to be appeased.
To make a long story short, Becky
played me as an angler would play
q trout till 1 was madly in love with
her. Having refused me, she seemed
to be satisfied and thereafter treated
me so considerably that l tried again
and was successful. Naturally, the
anniversary of Thanksgiving brings
to me interesting memories.

There was n Thanksgiving when
the head Of our large family invited
every member that could be reached
to spend a week in his large country
house, including Thanksgiving day.
Those of us of my generation went
In for a good time together. The girls
were of that age when a taste for mis-
chief predominates. One night when

the legs of my pajamas sewed up.
When / had ripped the sewing, got
them on and tumbled into bed l found
the sheets scratched. l had turned off
the light, SO, springing out of bed, 1
tiptoed hastily to the door, opened it
and was in time to grab the last of a
bevy of girls who ran away in the
darkness.

Cling to be free, then let her go.
Slipping back into my room, 1 turned
on a light, and there, sticking onto
the breast of my pajamas, vas an
elongated pin of chased gold set in
the center with a single sapphire.
The problem was to identify the girl

of the pin. 1 consulted with my men
cousins, and it was decided that I
should put the article up at auction
at the Thanksgiving dinner, bids to
be accepted only from the men.
Accordingly when the nuts and cof-
fee came on / took the pin out of my
vest pocket and, holding 1t up before
the company, said: 81 found this ar
