THANKSGIVING DAY.

This paper is issued of date of Friday, November 26, never
theless this article is written before Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving Day" like Sunday and so many other sacred
and very important things with us, we fear, has gotten to De
a sort of taken-for-granted, a mechanical affair. Too many OF
us fail or refuse to think seriously about the significance OF
Sunday or of THANKSGIVING day. We seem to forget that the
Sabbath day is the Lords thy Gods" which we are enJoined
ito keep holy" Likewise we are persuaded that the observance
of Thanksgiving has grown to be mechanical, certainly it has
with tooymany of us.
But let us hope that Thanksgiving, 1920, will be a day In
which we will take an inventory of what our Maker has done

It is very difficult to realize 1t
sometimes, and 1t is very hard on our
pride to admit it when we do realize
1t, but 1t is a fact nevertheless, and
fact that we should let get hold of
US, and stay with us-that the joy
and happiness and satisfaction of our
lives depend very much more upon
ourselves and the kind of people we
are than upon the kind of things that
happen to US. 1t is the kind of will
we carry round with US, and the atti-
fude of our mind and the temper Of
our spirit and decides whether our
lives shall be happy and hopeful. and
not the things that come to us.
Given the right kind of will, the same
attitude and the wholesome temper of
soul, we shall be able to adjust our
selves to life with some comfort
and satisfaction, no matter what its
accidents and incidents. until they be-
come quite satisfying. We carry the
key of our own happiness ourselves
and no one can give it to us or take
1t away.

SCRIPT.

Now. such readers as have been
gentle" enough to follow me so fer in
my story, may possibly desire to be
told what lay behind those other
locked doors in the underground gal
lery where I so nearly laid my bones.
Those caverns, we afterward dis
covered, did actually communicate
with Blackbeard's ruined mansion, and
the "king," who has now rebuilt that
mansion and lives in 1t in semifeudal
state with Calypso and me, is able to
pass from one to the other by under
ground passages which are an unfail-
ing source of romantic satisfaction to
his dear, absurd soul.
AS to whether or not the mansion
and the treasure were actually Black
beard's-that is, Edward Teach's-we
are yet in doubt, though we prefer to
believe that they were. At all events,
we never found any evidence to con-
meet them at all with Henry P. Tobias,
whose second treasure, we have every
reason to think, still remains undis-
covered.
AS for the sinister and Inflated
Henry P. Tobias, Jr., we have since
learned-through Charlie Webster,
who every now and again drops In
with sailors from his sloop and carries
off the "king" for duck hunting-that
his real name was quite different; he
must have assumed, as a nom de
guerre, the name we knew him by, to
give color to his claim. I an afraid,
therefore, that he was a plain scoun-
drel, after all, though It seemed to me
that / saw CLEANS In him of something
better, and I shall always feel a sort
of kindness toward him for the saving
grace of gallant courtesy with which
he invested his abduction of Calypso.
Calypso She and I, just for
fun, sometimes drop into Sweeney's
store, and, when she has made her
purchases. she draws up from her
bosom little bag, and, looking softly
at me, lays down on the counter-a
golden doubloon; and Sweeney-who,
doubtless, thinks us all little crazy
smiles indulgently on our make-be-
lieve.
Sometimes. on our way home, we
come upon Tom in the plantations, SUI
perintending gang of the kings"
janissaries-among whom Erebus is
still the blackest-for Tom is now the
lord high steward OF our estate. He
beams on US in fatherly way, and 1
lay my hand significantly on my left
side-to his huge delight. He flashes
his white teeth and wags his head
from side to side with inarticulate en-
ioyment of the allusion. For who
knows? He may be right. In so mys-
FERROUS a world the smallest cause may
lead up to the most august results and
there is nothing too wonderful TO hap
pen.

from my right, where l could not see,
and one of the negroes rolled over.
Another shot, and the negro next him
fell sprawllng with his arms over the
bulwark.
At that moment, two other negroes
emerged from the cabin hatchway,
half dragging and half carrying a
woman. She was struggling brayely,
but in vain. The negroes-evidently
acting under orders of a white man,
who stood over them with a revolver
were dragging her toward the main
mast. Her head was bare, her hair
in disorder. ARD one shoulder from
which her dress had been torn in the
struggle, cleaned white in the sun
light. Yet her eyes were flashing
splendid scornful fires at her captors
and her laughter of defiance came
ringing to me over the sea. 1t was

The next moment there came dash
Ing in sight a sloop also under full
canvas, and at its bow, a huge white
man, with a leveled rifle that still
smoked. AT glance, l knew him for
Charlie Webster. He had been about
to fire again, but, as the man dragged
Calypso for'ard, he paused calm as a
rock, waiting, with his keen sports
mans eyes on Tobias-for, of course
it was he.
''You-coward !" / heard his voice
roar across the rapidly diminishing
distance between the two boats. for
the sloop was running with power as
wells as sails.
Meanwhile, the men had dashed
Calypso to the mast, and even in my
agony my eyes recorded the glory of
her beauty as she stood proudly there
the great sails spread above her, and
the sea for her background.
Now, do your worst" cried Tobias,
his evil face white as wax in the sun
light
Sire, 6re-don't be afraid" rang
out Calypso's voice, like singing gold.
At the same instant, as she called To

yolver.
Another word, and l fire." shouted
the voice of the brute.
But the rifle that never missed its
mark spoke again. Tobias arm fell
shattered, and he staggered away
screaming. Still once more, Charlie
Webster's gun spoke, and the stagger-
ing figure fell with crash on the
deck.
Now, boys. ready" heard Charles
voice roar out again, as the sloop
tore alongside the schooner-where
the rest of the negro crew with raised
arms had fallen on their knees, crying
for mercy.
All this saw from the water, as /
swan wildly toward the two boats,
which now had closed on each other, a
mass Of laundering canvas, and
screaming and cursing men-and
Calypso there, like a beautiful statue,
still dashed to the mast a proud smile
on her lovely lips.
Another moment, and Charlie had
sprung aboard, and. selling knife
from one of the screaming negroes, he
cut her free.
His deep calm voice came to me
over the water.
