U lie was an -old negrbt known as Daddy Paddy, who claimed to have come : into Florida when it was an 'Indian possession and)q have been at one time a slave of poachochee, the taeminole "WUdait." He was over 90 years old, anyway, for he could tell tales of the times of Andrew Jackson and was at the battle of New. Orleans. - He always insisted how-, : ever, that General Washington was present . at; that ; memorable event, declaring with . 1 great pertinacity that if he did not take Q part in the fight he was "thar ; or thar 1 abouts." Hi3 wrinkled skin was black as ebony, but hia wool and his eyebrows were white as 'snow, giving to this old man the air and dignity of a patriarch. : f & ?

" My re spect for the old man had .increased; since he had shown himself so well informed re garding wild turkey habits, and I followed his, instructions implicitly. Casting . my self prone '- upon - the grass, I ' painfully worked my way toward the spot indicated by Daddy, my heart beating loudly at the prospect of a near shot at the turkeys. In front of me, after I had) accomplished my painful journey, was a natural screen of high grassland sfcrub . palmetto, and to prove Daddy Paddy's prediction correct I had only to rise to -my feet and peer over it.' Taking off my hat and slowly assum ing 1 a stooping posture, raising my head inch by .inch; I peered cautiously through the grass tops, but suddenly-dropped to the ' ground, clutching my gun, my -hands .shaking as in an-ague fit . 7:-; ti L';-'.:. The sight before me on the burned space near the creek for. the moment unnerved me, for it was . the first time in my life that I had beheld wild turkeys at short range and in a large flock. There were nine of them there a great, bronze hued gobbler, whose glossy plumage shone like burnished copper and gold in the morning sun, and eight hen turkeys, all feeding quietly, not more than 50 yards away I - . . The ; remembrance of my lean larder, without even a bit of meat for the Thanks giving dinner, nerved me for a supreme effort, and,' quieting my tremblii g hands, by a r mighty effort of will power I again essayed a look at the game, holding imy gun readyito fire the very second my head ap peared above the grass. ' 7 : -'Xf I Yeslthere they, were, still' feeding on the burn as yet unconscious of my pres ence. ' But just as I ran my eye along the 'brown . barrel of my trusty gun the old gobbler raised his head, and his bright eye caught a glimpse of ' danger. ' Too late, howeveiU ; Just as those burnished wings were spread for flight a puff of smoke told of the danger lurking behind that clump of ' grass and palmetto. The proud head fell to the ground, and the glorious bird lay sprawling,' with its quivering wings outstretched. ' i--''-rt(';vV;-7;''-- 3'.4 His flock did not wait to see what the matter was, but were off at' once, beating the air with vibrant wings, tut not before a second shot from the " second barrel had sent the rear bird of the flock tumbling to earth, a ruffled heap of glistening feath-. ers, not ten yards distant from its slaugh tered mate. :v::ii:4- ii:r. Mrr-z- "Hurrahl" I shouted, leaping , forth in; great, -excitement, but not forgetting ; to eject ,the empty shells from my gun and slip in two loaded ones as I ran along. : "There he is, Daddy ; there'sour Thanks giviug dinner:.

A THAJTKSGIVIHG 6T0EY BY HAEKIET Copyrieht, 1897, by the Author. tc7 M The long wire of 7the doorbell was still vibrating when Miss Trudy, a woman of. quick motions,- shut the front door to which she had ; been "summoned 7bya Thanksgiving beggar,: having run there at once, with a pie out -of the batch -she al ways baked to give away on -Thaniisgiy-ing. . 'She did not know who the person was, but the person evidently knew her and said: "Thank you. Miss Trudy. . This pie gives.both of .us reason for thanksgiv ing -me thatl've got it, you that you can givb itN" r 57- " v . & 7 vMvtf f '" 4Humphl" said Miss Trudy;! 7" If I hadn't any better reason ' than that for thanksgiving, I shouldn't say much about it.",' Aund.then she' went back to her pret ty little sitting room, its blazing fire and rugs and rocking chair, its peacock feath ers and fruits and the' great fragrant lem on tree that she had raised herself from a seed. She sat - down, before the fire and turned -back the kirt of her gown over her knees, showing, had there been any one to see, .a foot still delicate and pretty as when Jedffrey , Masters used to null on Its overshoe dear, dear, : how many years ago!' "Yes," said Miss Trudy to herself, Iishould say I had some better reasons for thanksgiving : than just that I can give away squash andmince pies, though that's a good deal. I've reason to thank the Lord for a whole procession of blessings.- - Yes,? and the first and cheapest of them all is that I'm a single woman and my own master. I can turr. round without any body's leave, and there's no man here cluttering up.; If that isn't a blessing, what is? And then there's this house. It's mine. Aunt Gertrude left me a trifle of money for "my name, and I put it out at interest, and in 20 years it bought me this house, this garden, this little orchard of peach and pear and plum and apple trees, this pasture, this cow and jthis grapevine. And I've got what I had be fore to live on and a little for the poor. , I couldn't have done that if I'd married. Yes, I used to think it - hard times when Geoffrey Masters led me such a dance, making my heart beat so I was afraid he'd see it, and then going away the Lord knows where without a word when I'd all but made up my mind to marry him. But I'm sure it was a merciful escape. ' "Yes, those were cruel days. Don't tell me about old fools! There's no fool like a young, fool! And that man made me suner once. x es, he did, it gives me a, sinking now to remember the nights ' I used to watch for him and he didn't come. I never could bear to look at the stars on a clear winter's night ' since ! 7 Humph we do outgrow things, 11 we live long enough, and that's a reason for thanksgiving I'm sure. Yes, I'm an old maid, and I'm thankful for it I've often said I wouldn't marry the best' man liv ing; I wouldn't marry' the pope of Rome himself if he was to ask me. I'm., my own property, and everything about me is my own, and I can give away a dollar withdut asking.; Jane can't. Look at Jane she can't say her soul's her . own, And yet when she was at home, she used to rule all the rest of v us children with a rod of ; iron. And now she says to Jaired, 'Dear, I think I'll go down town today if you'll let me have the horse.' And he says: 'Can't have the horse. What you want down town? Always gadding, Place for a woman's home- enough to do at home. " Stav at home!' And she's staid at honje till everything's so blue she can't see it. People thought Jane was doing great things when she married Jaired splendid farm, wood lots, bank , stock, a horse and chaise and a herd of Jerseys- and she's never had a cent to spend from that day to this, for he took what belonged to her, and locked it up with his for the children.. I dori't suppose she could get it if she made a row, but nobody wants hot water all the time, arid she wears a calico and I wear . alpaca, and I don't know the day she's had a new bonnet. --G . "And look at Essie just the sweetest, softest hearted girl that ever lived, and she's never had any. children of her own except the little girl that died, and she's longed for them, and her arms have ached for them arid she'd give half her life for another though that's not saying much, for she don't value her life a straw and she's married to Harry Farnsworth. .And his sister; a widow with one "child a little angel out of heaven if ever there was one i came home one day and died. . ; And there was the boy, and Harry couldn?t af ford to board him' out, and so Essie had to take care of him. 7 . And she did. Arid she grew to love hiiri so that her whole -soul was bound up in him. ; And Harry, he hated that boy's father, and instead of lov ing the child used, to be all the time look ing for the father's traits in him. , Arid then he began to get jealous of the child not that he loved Essie so much he never loved . anybody but himself.- And the more he saw Essie cared for the child the more he let it be seen he didn't care for him. - J - ' " 7" He didn't strike him oh, -no, Harry ; Farnsworth didn't strike him but his every look and wordNwas a- blow for the sensitive Uttle creature.. A He never praised ' . . .. J ,-t A If--. so nara? to please 7 him : he never smoomea nis-nair : xr patted his cheek or gave him a kind word or any other word. Scmietimes he'd look at him with his big eyes' so like 'a wolf that the " boy would have to run crying - out of the room, and then he'd sneer - at him . for a bawl babyl Because the boy loved , birds and flowers and all outdoors he called him a girl babyj and because he was delicate and a little thing made him feverish he called him a humbug. But, oh, how dear the child was to Essie ! How shedoved him ! She would sit with her arms round him in the twilight, when Harry was off driving his fast horses or doing nobody knows what,, and feel the child's dear little head on her heart, and lay her cheek on hisyand love him so or lie dowii beside 1 him at 'nightaiid feel his arms round her hecki and his dear breath on her face, and his soft, sweet kisses, and it was a joy and a comfort to -her Harry taking his pleasure somewhere else and all the joy and comfort , she had anyway. And she would feel she could endure the " one as long as she had the' other, though no child, if he was one ?f the angels, will make up to a wife for her husband's neg lect or . heR 77And? she used , to look- for ward to the child's growing up and grow- mg into au she wanted him to be, and her having him and his love when she was old ward to, and goodness knows she hasn't much to look backward on, for her-whole married life before v that baby came had been just a slavery to his folks, the old fa ther and mother who gave him the place if he'd'take care of them, and they saw to t that he did, and that she did tool They just -walked right over her and sat down on ;her, and she was soft enough to cry iwheh they;died7V77 ''t.'4 i,! And there.'s another thing, Im sure I'm sure it's a reason for thanksgiving, if ever there, was one, that ). I . didn't marry- Harry ' Farnsworth. I guess I'd have strangled him. I couldn't despise him any more than 1 " do I -,' Humph! Yes well, Harry Farnsworth ! And there's my other Sister, Louisa. How" she did set her heart on Larry Wellman! .And I didn't wonder. He wps the most engaging fellow. And handsome, too handsome as an archan gel, his great blue eyes full of heavenly light, and his yellow hair in masses,' and his face as if it was cut out of marble, and when I looked at him I always thought of T.h "tTinimTnor ct;n.-i : Ann twmla onirt Tq I was going to be anything he chose--min- VMV mm m V. , u vu. . . , WVVk.AV tMAA ister, senator, president. ,And he had a little something, and they got' married.; Arid she was in . this world or the next.

And he's Tiever come' to 'anything, and they live from c hand to mouth any way they can. She never knows how he's com ing home, drunk or sober, and she never dares to. go anywhere with him, she's so sure of , being shamed out of . her life by his getting so's to be foolish, and she never dares to; have -any company because she couldn't endure their seeing him and scorn- s i ; a s j l 1 i J- 7 11 mg mm, sue raying to j&eep secret wnai au the world knows. X . "What a woman wants to , marry for who's got enough to live on without mar rying t passes me. She can't go anywhere she can't do janything, she can't : give away, she can't invite home, she can't draw an independent i breath.- She is a pipher, a nonentity; she hasn't a right to herself or her children , or her labor or her property. Marryt 5 Aridwhat ,f;in 7.the world for?' To lose her freedom, to give herself a master to make herself a slave. Humph yes well if I tharik the Lord more for one thing than another it's that I'm a "single woman and. going to remain so! There goes that beli again. and there's only one inore pie left besides . the minister's. " And Miss Trudy ran intothe pantry and seized the pie and hurrying to the door opened it and thrust out the : pie into the night, crying: "There! It's the last one! Take it!" "I don't want your pie, Trudy," said a deep voice from, the darkness, and a hand laid hold of her own as she started . back, and a stalwart form came, intor the beairi of light and mounted the step and entered the door and closed it , behind him, fl don't want your pie, Trudy, I want you." "Geoffrey! Geoffrey Masters!" she cried in a fainting voice, and caught his' arm for support an instant "I I didn't know you I didn't expect" 7j 7 . f 'Nd;" he said, "I don't believe you did. Nobody did. I didn't myself.' I didn't suppose myself I'd ever, see you again." And he led her in and seated her in the chair, she had just left and took another opposite.1 ?- V r- ' ' ';, "Where did you come from, Geoffrey?" stammered Miss Trudy, when she could speak. - '7 -7; 77 "Nowhere," said Geoffrey. " And where ' are you going?" she . re sumed, after a little. 7." --.rx "Nowhere," he replied again. "The fact is, Trudy, '' he said presently, after warminghis hands ait the blaze arid quite as if they had partedyesterday, -' I haven't been very lucky. I went away in pursuit of pastime. I haven't "atjjght up with her yet. Tin back after 25 years of it,' tired out, without a dollar in my pock-r et or any clothes but these I; stand in. And I looked at the old house that had strangers in it and I lookfed at the old graves that held all my 'people and, I wasn't going to become a tramp and there was nothing, left for me but the river out here. And I saw this light and came this way, I didn't know why, and I looked in the window and saw you. You haven't changed much in these 25. years, Trudy. I'd . have known "you aftywhere the same old rose in your cheek, the same soft fire in your eye. ' I've beenlooking at you,this last hour.- and it's all been rushing over me, the things. I'd half forgotten ifche old evenings under the; stars, the old days upon the river. What a cursed fool I was to go after fortune and leave you!" ' ' ;. Tl' Well," said : Miss Trudy, not without some hesitation", 'well, you've come back." "Yes, I've come back."
