most picturesque spots 61 earth and right in the centre ol it crowning- rounded knoll surrounded with oaks and butternuts equated til its owner was always a difficult spot to reach In winter when the drifting piled high their while billows against lowcaved structure and hid the windows from the outer world But In summer it was t delight this mossbrown dwelling beneath the oaks and at one time had been a home around whose hearthstone gather ed sons and daughters Nov It was desolate The passing stranger would have but aVhd to It Of deserted farms No sign of life visible this bright Thanksgiving morn ing from its wide panelled no curl of smoke invaded the crisp and frosty air the light fall of snow that had the ground the night showed no trace of footsteps lead ing the weather-beaten- door And yet there was a stir of life in the farm yard In the hollow among the trees where the barn tottered ready for its fall There a flock of fowl and turkeys wondered disconsolately in the adjacent stall an old horse stamped for his breakfast and a forlorn cow chafed restlessly at stanchions Except for the old farm was as silent when first its owner carved It from the virgin A rustling of the shrub bery that fringed the stiffranked on the hill beyond the barn told that a visitor was coining to Lonely Farm A human head appeared in sight It was crowned by a woollen cap from beneath which peered a pair black bright eyes Their owner took oft bis cap and moppeil his brow Ho was a rugged country lad of well knit and sturdy with a pair of rutliy cheeks white teeth and lips rosy but droop

closed her eyes sheer weakness while tiptoed about the room setting things to rights and preparing the table for a prospective meal To he sure there was very little In sight but he had faith that there might be something in the cellar and in the cupboards the widow was known in the to have been a good in her days of affluence Through the southern window an advance guard of the out side sunbeams came streaming in one them lighting the gray halt of the woman with a silvery halo Jem thought he had never seen a woman who appeared so ladylike and How young site looked He paused a mom ent to regard her and she opened her eye He retreated a step or two the red staining his honest open face Youve made me very hungry Jem very thankful Well maam Im glad of It Its Thanksgivln What Really Thanksgiving Day Its the first tune Ive forgotten It I must bo growing old Jem grew bolder Theres a turkey out in the barn yard He aint very fat but If you say so Ill help you turkey A snowy cloth over a round table with two seats opposite each other is always an inspiring sight and when topped by a steaming brown turkey with all the fixings of a turkey dinner the feast is one to melt hearts

the dessert of quince preserves May God bless you And to think how the dreadful gloomy has been turned to such bright sunshine by your coming Jem turned to the window to hide some tears that would persist in squeezing themselves out of his eyes I wish she be so sentiment al said he to himself quite wrath- fully But to the widow he said Why maam I- aint done nothing great no moren youd done for
