lie lived with his uncle, Tom 15rice, I of us talked much, none, even my
of tho Mansion House old Squire J uncle, who was emptying goblot after
lirice, as all tho country called him, , goblet ol wine to drown his thoughts,
though ho wasn't more than fifty; . And when tho sqtiiro ttood up sud
anJ naturally when they both caino j denly, with his glass, to toast tho
courting Margery, her father favored j bride a frozen bride, that looked
tho squire's suit most. Hut Margery , ready for tho tomb Iuliuost welcomed
favored Jack's, and showed it openly, the interruption that followed.
A man may br as rich as Cric-us, j "To tho bride!" repeated tho
but w hen he's choleric and up in years i squire, glass high in air, and was
nono too good in tho bargain ho echoed by a dreadful laugh,
needn't expect to make much headway "To Satan, you menu; to Satnu,

legged Jack's g..o 1 looks outweighed , gave you money to buy a wife, bo

found out whieli way the wind was Aud there, in tho middle of tho
blowing, he forbade Margy to seo him
again. She said nothing, for the was
not n girl to talk. Hut every uight
tbo'wrote him a long letter, that she
would hide iu a hollow tree slump,
aud that Jack would come and take
away.
Sometime?, too, iu the early morn
ing, hardly daylight, she would jump
on her bay mare Hornet and dash two
miles down tho river to tho fori,
where Jack would bo waiting, and
would swim his horse over from tins
other tddo, ju-l to have live miuutci'
talk with her.
Ah, but they wero in love, 1 can
tell you. Au I I never saw a better
matched pair both to good looking,
both so full of life!
Whether my uncle ever heard of
their goings on I don't know. But he
stopped talking aguiu-t Jack nu 1 urg

his power and could ruin him, and
now that she wouldn't marry him, he
was going to take his reveuge.
Thcu ho fell sick and teemed likely
to die, and my poor cousin was in a
terrible quandary. Sho loved Jack,
but the loved her father, too. And
she felt it was worry that was killing
hiiu.
One terrible uigLt, when wo were
nlmo-1 expectiug my uncle to breathe
his lad, Margy fell on her kuce3 and
promised she'd marry tho srpiire, and
ho at onco began to get better with
ustonishing quickness.

And getting no answer beyond the
denial of Ihi death white faeo and
piteous eyes, his rago kuew no

"Defend yourself, you old rascal!"

Tho oflico boy was a freckled-faced,
ill-fed looking little chap, but ho was
sharp. The day after Thanksgiving
his employer was provoked at some
thing and went for tho boy feroc
iously. "Say," tui 1 tho boy, stopping him,
"did you have turkey yistiday fer

Tlio angry mau was astonished into
au answer.
"Yes," ho replied. "What's that-I
got to do with you?" I
"Xothiu'," aud tho boy looked hun

and oysters, and swo.:t pcrtatocs, and

"Yes." j
"And mince pie?"
"Yes."
"Ileal, old-fashioned, nice, thick j

"Yes."
Tho boy's faeo hardened.
"Well, you dou't talk liko it to

Society, and boars the date of 1 077.

meutioncd throughout tho ISiblo. '
They wero common iu England be

especially iu the Church of Hngluu 1, i
where they wero a fixed custom long 1

from tho lips of Popham colonists at
Mouhegan, in tho Thauksgiviug ser- '
vice of tho Church of England. The '
first Thanksgiving week not day in
Plymouth was observed in Decomber, I
1(121. This wtis a week of feasting, j
Venison was brought iu by tho Mussa-
toit Indians uud dozens of wild tur- j
! keys, rahbits and smaller gittne were ;
slaughtered for tho feast. Tho In- j
bans wero iuvited to join tho whites !
iu tho merry-making, an invitation !
which was promptly acfiopte 1. The
records make no mention of any special
religions exercises d'triug this week
of feasting.
In July, Di-'l, a fust day of nine
hours of prayer was observed by these
same colonist.--, who were Kulleriug
from tho ciFccts of a prolonged
drought, which had scorchod their
com and stunted tho beans. The rain ;
which toon afterward tell they be-

The next public Thauksgiviug was
held iu Doston by tho Hay Colony on
February '!'-', KVti). This was au ex
pression of gratitude for the safe ar
rival of food-bearing ships from Eng-
lllld.
From then until about I'WJ there

it was not it regular biennial custom.
In 1075, a timo of doop gloom both in
Massachusetts and Connecticut on ac
count of tho many attacks from fierce
savages, no days of thauksgiviug were
celebrated.
lthodo Islanders paid little heed to
the days net apart by the Mussuehu
tetts authorities, and many of them
were puuished for this lack of con
formity, (loveruor Audros caused
William Vea.ie to bo tot iu a pillory

In Connecticut tho festival was not
regularly observed uutil 171(1. The
curlier Thauksgiviug Days wero not
always set ou Thursday, nor were they
always appointed for tho Fanio token

A deer and bear farm is tlio latost

Tin! plan is not to turn the aiiiiiri's

result was that the doctor agreed to

and preparing for winter, when the
