the wind began to rise. There were
maly trees beside the road, and the
wind went woo-woooooh through the
trees till 1t made Sister feel homesick.
"Crickety," said Brother, Il wish l
knew where we are. most believe
we're lost"
The snow came thicker and thicker
as they began to climb long hill.
Lets go back" said Sister almost
ready to cry.

The children went over to II In the

The day before Thanksgiving the old
house was full OF sweet smells OF
cooking. specially pie smells. The
smell Of the niince pies was the best
but they all SmelIed very good. Grand
ma cooked two or three chickens, too.
"What are you cooking chickens
forg" asked Sister. Aren't We going
TO have turkey tomOrrow?"
Yes" said Grandma. 1--WE are GER
tainIy going 10 have turkey. bur am
cooking one of these chickens for Il
poor lady that know. And now that
they Gre done, l shall be much obliged
II you will carry one OF them To the
old lady. The other chickens l shall
keep. Maybe ] shall need them"
''All right" said Sister that will be
fun. Brother and Aristotle will go
with me. won't you, BrOther?"
Yep" said Brother, who was out
of job. And Aristotle barked.
So Grandmother packed a basket.
She put in the roasted chicken. and
loaf of fresh bread. and a big pat of
butter (abOut four inches SQuare). and
4 Jar of jelly, and hot mince pie. and
Il bunch of celery. These things were
all very neatly packed in. There was
a table napkin under them, and an
other one over them.
So the children came to take the
basket. But Grandma said, wait /
have forgotten the dOughnuts." So she
packed in six hot doughnuts.
Then she told them how to go to the
old lady's. She took them outdoors
and pointed far away to Il tiny red
house beside road that wound up q
hill. Take them up there and tell
Mrs. Moriarty that Grandma sent her
these and hopes she will have happy
Thanksgiving.
The children started cut gayly,
swinging the basket gently between
them. They went down the road and
over the little bridge, where they
paused a minute to watch the min
nOws. Minnows like to turn on their
sides for just second as they flash
through the water, and then you can !
see how silvery they are. Aristotle
waded in to drink, and scared them
away. After long walk the children
came TO a red house on the hill, and
went up to the door to say their little
speech.
But when they knocked, young
came to the door.
Does Mrs. Moriarty live here?'
asked Brother.
mo, she lives on the next hill. Go
Town this road and cross over through
he pasture and go up the next road.
That's the way to Mrs. Moriarty's."
So the children went down the road

THE STORY TELLER.

"Good evening, my dears" said
Uncle Tan, as he bent over his little
cook-stOve and nodded his big white
head. I'm going to have biscuits fol
supper. This driftwood burns well
doesn't it? Hear the flames roar VI
the pipe! Pm going to have biscuits
and I'm going to have a hot fire to
bake them. If you don't have hot
fire, they won't puff up high. Do You
like them puffy, JaneT
Eyes, indeed" said Jane. II like
them just puffy puffy, and l like
honey on them"
"Do you like that kind of honey on
little pail half full of yellow combs
of honey.
"Um, um," said Jane, as she peeped
longingly into the pail.
"Well," said Uncle Tan, when your
mother was little girl, she used to
come over here and eat biscuits and
honey with my wife and me. Peter,
suppose you go home aad ask your
mother to let you and Jane stay over
here to supper. I'm going to have
blue-berries and blue-ish, and white
biscuits and yellow honey"
"Oh, goody," cried the little girl.
THAT will be jolly"
And so they got permission and
b stayed to supper
Jane and Peter were staying at the
seashore, and they often went to visit
this dear old fisherman, whose name
was Tanner. Sometimes they called
him Captain Tanner, but usually they
called him Uncle Tan.
Uncle Tan told Peter and Jane the
stories that you are going to read in
this book. He told them about the
two children named Brother and Sis
ter. So please dO1't get Peter and
Jane mixed up with Brother and Sis
ter. OF course Peter was James
brother, but Peter and Jane were
merely the children who heard the
stories. The children who did the
things told about were named Brother
and Sister That is the only name
they had in the stories.
Uncle Tan's cabin was a pleasant
place to visit. You looked out upon |
the blue sea through big window |
and there was long bench for you
to sit on mean that the bench was
iaside the cabin, and was high enough |
mp So that you could stretch yourself
out on 1t and still took out the win.
dow. And If there was rain outside,
II was snug to sit on the bench and
look out.
The floor was very clean. Uncle
Tan's son, big boy, had to scrub II.
There were two bunks-oIe for Uncle
Tan and one for his son. You see
Uncle Tan's wife was dead, and there
were only he and his son left The
hunks were built one above the other,
like the beds In Pullman car or n
passenger steamer They had white
spreads on them.

Listen to this, fishermen. There's
"a man residing in New York state who
has discovered reliable way to learn
when the fish are biting, without GO

Here is the formula: Catch and keep

fishing, dig some worms and throw
them to the catfish. If he eats them,
the fish will bite; but if he don't, you

allow us to introduce to you to Mr..
John j. Spriggs, who admits that
what he don't know about Athe things
would fill several volumes but at the
same time John saws that he knows
a lot about them and that the wisdom
which he has regarding them has
been acquired and stored up within
just the last few days.
John didn't tell US this and don't
know until he sees this. anything
about what we found out, but one day
last week he volunteered to push a
baby cab home from friends house
for certain young mother of this
city. For some reason or other,
whether it was because she would
not trust John with the baby or some
other reason, we do not know, the
cab was empty and the baby stayed
with its mother. John started out
and pushed. After awhile, having
stopped to rest, he pushed some more.
He then rested again and then push
ed some more. He kept this up all
the way up Bridge street until he got
in the ninth block out. People who
passed him and other people who
lived along the street, noticed the
sweat of honest toll streaming down
Mr.. Spriggs' face but realizing that
it falls to the lot of some to work
harder than others, thought that it
was all in the natural order of things
kept their silence and attended to
their own affairs.
Mr.. Spriggs is sticker and was
willing to stick to the job of pushing
the baby cab, even though it did re-
quire a lot of exceptionally hard work
until he delivered it at its destination
matter which he had very obliging-
ly promised to do when asked to do so
by the young lady who wanted the
vehicle and who happened to live in
his neighborhood. No stree, he never
was GUTTER and by hector, he
wouldn't quit this time until his part
of the contract was completed.
When the proceedings had furnish
ed merriment and amusement for the
people residing in the first eight
blocks on south Bridge street and
Mr.. Spriggs had made his third or
fourth stop in the ninth block young
matron was seen to go out and quiet
ly whisper something in his ear. John
stopped, looked at the young woman
astonished like, as if she had said
something real shocking and then
gave one look under the cab and
pushed his foot on something and then
started out on his last block and a
half without stop.
Just what that young lady said we
don't know. but in telling us some of
the things which he knows about ba-
by cabs, Mr.. Spriggs,, said that the
wheels won't go around when the
brakes are in good condition and
thoroughly set and that they push
doggoned sight easier anyway when
the brakes are off.
