~ AN you imagine a Thauksgiv-

~ Turkey too. Here IS the story
as it was given to me and every word
of it is true.
Not so very long ago there lived at
Jane in Turkey. little Mohammedan
boy. six years of age, who had b9cn
very sick with a fever HIS parents
were afraid he was going 10 die, but
he didn't and to celebrate his recovery
they decided to give a Thanksgiving
feast. 1t was not in the least bit like
our celebration. You would have
laughed had you seen how strangely
the company were dressed. The men
wore large turbans on their dark
heads. and they were dressed in
coarse, bright colored coats reaching
down TO their knees. These were held
N at the waist by large red leather
belts. and they would have looked very
queer to you. The women, too, wore
odd dresses, and their face. All bat
their eyes, were covered by long wells.
They wore many jewels and looked
altogether funny. Before they entered
the court yard of the house in which
the little boy lived. they all took or
their sandals. This is one OF their
many queer customs. When the pa

danced to the music of the tambou-

In a minute there was a patter of

"Da-da-goo!" greeted Baby-cUms,
pulling his whizkers and smiling like
little angel.
"Wow-wowee." said Boots
Well. never exclaimed the
mother.
They marched along to Baby-curns'
house which was such pretty. coy
place The lady said: Now go home,
dogsie!" But Boots didn't know the
way home so he lay down on the
porch and tried to go to sleep and
forget how tired and hungry he was
After a while the door opened and
Mrs. Murray looked out.

well, here's some supper for you
then you really must go."
How grateful Boots was as he licked
that plate clean. Then he went off to
look around on Main street Maybe he

sad. But then he was coming back.
That was very encouraging.
He stood At the corner wondering
what to do next. when some newsboys
came along. Boots wagged his tail,
but the boys began throwing stones at
him. He ran and hid in dark door
way till they went past. They were
carrying little tin boxes and cards, be

of the little boys drop his card. Like

lovely sights! Cakes and buns and
fruit and fish and in the butchers
shop big fat turkey
That was too much for Boots. The
sight Of that turkey reminded him of
Thanksgiyings gone by, and ne lay
down by the butchers shop, put his
nose between his paws and cried and

Pretty soon along came a lady
wheeling baby carriage. In the car
rage sat Baby-cums, the joIIiest, rolIy-
polIiest, pinkest baby in town.

lady, going into the butcher shop. She
was going TO get her turkey for to-
morrow.
Baby-cums looked out of her car
rage and saw Boots. She pointed her
fat little finger and said: "Da-da-da.' -
Boots came at once and buried his
poor tired nose in Baby-cums' lap

Whit, whin" he said.
'Da, dee, di, da," answered Baby
Gums, smoothing the soft brown ears.

Boots.

Gums remarked
"Quee-quee. Whit. wow-wow!" Boots
told her.
Which all meant a great deal more
than you think. In fact. Boots told
Baby-cums all about his troubles and
Baby-cums comforted him a lot.
Suddenly Boots felt a sharp punch
in his side. A lady was sticking him
with her umbrella.

Out ran Mrs. Murray holding her
