set her substantial feet down like q

Hester Prentice Leaned Against the

November was upon them and Thanks
giving only 9 few days away.
Homesickness tugged at her heart
strings. Back there in New England
they were making elaborate prepara-
Stlons for the great festival. They had
written and urged the young pion-
seers to come home for Thanksgiving.
Hester smiled bitterly. Why, there
was scarcely bushel Of flour In the
house and the bacon was almost gone
what could one do with nothing
coming In?
A Dicks hopefulness had Jared on
her nerves. Only this morning she
had spoken sharply to him when he
had made some remark about Thanks
giving. a pang Of remorse now sent
her hurrying down toward the shaft.
At the very edge Of the opening she
hesitated and peered within the tun-
mel. Dick was there-sitting on a
keg, his head bowed in his hands; /;
alone with his disappointment
"Dick. Dick r. she cried, going to
him and folding his head in her arms.

Hester supported Dick up the hill
and somehow got him into bed, and
because they were twenty miles from

Five men had emerged from the
woods behind the clearing, SO quietly
that they were in the center of the
camp before Crusoe's shrill5 bark, or
the outcry Of the cook, warned us Of
their presence. BY that time they had
us covered. Three Of them carried
rifles, the other two reyolvers. One Of
these was Captain Magnus.
Advancing step or two before the
Others. he ordered us to throw up our
hands. Perhaps he meant only the

provocation. But he admitted having
invited Denham outside where it was
more appropriate to settle such a
delicate matter. Following this admis
sion, Judge Doak allowed him to pay
a $40 fine also.
