IT HAD seemed an excellent scheme
when proposed, and to Dick's de-light
Eleanor Hath way had agreed
to it enthusiastically. They were to
eat their turkey and cranberry sauce
at the Daltons', and Dick was to take
Miss Hathway there in his auto car.
A thirty-eight mile run over good
hard roads in a crisp autumn morning,
with a girl he was rapidly coming to
believe was the girl—was it any won-der
that Dick was delighted ?
"You are sure we can make it?''
Miss Hathway had said after her first
ecstasy.
"Absolutely. The Pearl will romp
up the stretch in a canter. The run's
a mere bagatelle," explained Hutton.
Now, after having so vouched for
the manners of the Black Pearl—as
Dick called his auto car—it was irri-tating
to have it stop short on a lonely
and desolate byroad_and refuse abso-lutely
to budge farther.
The morning had been everything a
Thanksgiving morning should be up
to that time—air like glorified golden
wine, a blue sky and hard, smooth,
ringing roads. Dick's heart had sung.
Now the singing had stopped, and af-ter
half an hour of fruitless efiort Dick
stood in the road and contemplated the
Pearl with disgust and perplexity.
"I can't findout what's the trouble,"
he said. "She won't go, that's all."
Miss Hathway looked about at the
somber stretch of gray woods on either
hand. The sun had gone under a
cloud, and a chill breeze rustled the
dried leaves. "What are we going to
do ?" she asked.
"Oh, that's all right," Dick replied
cheerfully. "We'll get a rig from some
of the farmers hereabout and drive on.
It's only fifteen miles to the Dal tons'."
"But we'll be awfully late, won't
we?"
Dick glanced at his watch. "Yes,
I'm afraid we will, but they'll forgive
us. I'm awfully sorry"—
"Oh, I don't mind a bit," protested
Eleanor gayly. "It adds, don't you
know. It's these little unexpected
nesses that give zest to life. Only—
where shall we go? I don't see a
house anywhere.
"There's bound to be one somewhere
near. Where there's a fence there's a
farm," said Dick eagerly. "You stay
here, and I'll go to the end of the
woods."
"There's a house just a little farther
on," he reported on his return. "We'll
just run the machine to the side of the
road and stroll over.''
"But will it be safe ?"
"It's safe enough," returned the
Pearl's owner grimly. "Any one that
gets it to go can have it," he added as
he gathered up the wraps and they
started off down the road.
"It looks very quiet, doesn't it?"
commented Miss Hathway as they
neared the place. "I suppose here in
New England Thanksgiving is kept
almost like a Sunday."
"They are all at dinner probably—
the regulation Thanksgiving feed, you
know—all the family gathered at the
old homestead, the festive board groan-ing
under turkey and fixin's and pie."
"It makes one feel rather homeless
and vagrant, don't you think—the
picture? I wonder if the aunts will
give the poor grasshoppers something
from their store? I'm getting horribly
hungry. It's the early breakfast and
the air, I suppose."
Dick laughed. "Iam too," he ad-mitted.
"What do you say to joining
them, letting the Dalton's slide and
going on to supper later ?"
"But these people"—
"Oh, they can't refuse two casta-ways."
The castaways hurried on at the
thought, but with increasing uneasi-ness
as they neared the house. No
smoke came from the chimneys, no dog
barked a welcome, no face appeared at
any window, as they opened the gate
and went up the gravel walk.
" Do you suppose they've gone
away ?" gasped Eleanor.
"Looks like it. You sit here, and
I'll find out," replied Dick.
"You've guessed it," he said on his
return. "I found this note on the
kitchen door : 'Gone to Father Crego's
for dinner. Jim Brown.' "
Miss Hathway rose disconsolately
from the steps. "I suppose the well
hasn't gone away, too,1' she said. "At
least we ought to be able to get a
drink of water."
Alas, the well was inside the wood
shed, as they could see by looking in
at the window.
"I hate people who are so suspic-ious,"
cried Eleanor. "As if any one
would steal their old well !"
"There must be some way of getting
in," suggested Dick. "I'm going to
try anyway."
He returned in a moment to report
an unlatched sash, and through it they
climbed into the kitchen. It was a
pleasant old room, with a bright rag
carpet on the floor and a tall clock
ticking solemnly in one corner.
"The idea of their leaving this love-ly,
cheery, homely place to take din-ner
somewhere else?" said Eleanor af-ter
she had had her drink and looked
about. "Why, it's just the place lor a
Thanksgiving dinner. It seems rather
criminal, though, doesn't it," shecon-tinued
in a hushed voice, "to break in
this way—rather robbery and burglari-ous
? I wonder if they would mind ?"
"Surely not. We are castaways,
aren't we, on a desert island ?"
"Like Mrs. Leeks and Mrs. Ale-shine.''
"Exactly. And there's even the
ginger jar on the mantelshelf," said
Dick.
A sudden light of inspiration came
into his face. "There's a stove," he
remarked slowly, "and wood, I be-lieve,
and pots and pans and dishes
and a pantry. It's a clear case of
Providence Can you—er—cook any-thing
?"
"Oh," gasped Eleanor, "but it's—I
can fry chicken if there was one—and
cream potatoes and"—
Dick walked to the pantry. Then he
called her to look. On a shelf was a
raw, deep golden pumpkin pie. "Des-sert,"
he said. "Now for the cellar."
"I've got i t ! " he called up a moment
later as he stood looking eagerly down
the stairs. Then he reappeared, a pan
of cream in one hand, a basket of po-tatoes
in the other and a chicken under
his arm.
"Chicken," cried Eleanor ecstatical-ly,
"and cream ! Oh, you dear, dear
boy !"
She plucked an apron off a nail and
rolled up her sleeves. "Now, go and
split some wood," she ordered, "and
make the fire, and fill the kettle, and
then I'll tell you what else to do. I
won't have any lounging or laziness,"
she ended, with mock severity.
Dick obeyed meekly and was sent on
errands to the cellar for butter, and
to the pantry for suet (and he did not
know what that was, and she had to
go herself, which brought him a scold-ing),
and to the bam for any eggs he
could find. Then he stood about in
the way watching Eleanor, enveloped
in a voluminous check apron, her arms
dusty with flour, her eyes dancing as
she scurried about, now peeling the
potatoes, now looking wisely into a
bubbling saucepan, now basting the
chicken, stirring, tasting, seasoning,
burning her fingers and holding them
up for sympathy. Dick meanwhile
made toast and set the table and drew
a j ug of cider and brought impossible
articles for her service, and with it all
wondered why any one had servants
when housekeeping was such a glori-ous
business.
And the dinner—it was a very mira-cle—
the chicken golden brown, crisp,
delicious ; the potatoes a creamy
dream, the pumpkin pie—well, Elea-nor
had not made the pie, but still it
was very good. And, to crown the
feast, there was she, just across the
narrow table, flushed and radiant with
triumph.
"Hasn't it been jolly ?" Dick cried
at last, when the dinner was eaten.
"It's just been the loyeliest adven-ture
that ever was," said Eleanor.
" I t ' s like a fairy tale, like the three
bears. I believe this is the house of
the three bears—they would be named
Brown, you know—and I fear any mo-ment
to hear them come in and growl
out, 'Who's eaten up my bread and
milk ?' I am glad you are along to
protect me from their vengeance."
"Yes," said Dick, "so am I."
Eleanor's adorable bare arms were
on the table. There was such a little
space between her hands and his. A
man might by leaning—
"Yes, it's been glorious," said Dick
slowly—only can't it last, Eleanor,
dear ?" He leaned across and took her
hands in his.
Her face sobered for a moment;
then she smiled.
"If you are satisfied with my cook-ing,
I guess the place will suit," she
whispered.
* * *
Some hours later the Black Pearl
came rolling up to the gate with Dick
at the lever.
"I knew it would go all right now,"
Eleanor said triumphantly. "Next
time I hope you'll believe me."
"Well, I had faith enough to try,
anyway. It started up as if it never
had any other idea. I can't imagine
what the trouble was before."
"Do you know what I think, Dick ?
I believe it was enchanted—just like
this house and the chicken and every-thing."
"Yes," Dick replied. "I've felt the
enchantment myself all day."
Eleanor settled herself amid the
cushions, turned and threw a kiss to-ward
the old house, and then the
Black Pearl vanished down the road in
a cloud of dust.
Mrs. Brown found a note and a bill
pinned to the mantel when she return-ed.
'' 'And we are more obliged than we
can say for our dinner a deux," ' she
read out to her husband. ' 'They must
have been real ignorant people," she
commented. "They can't spell. It
was a chicken, not duck, they had
TBE GOVERNOR OF AUSKA.
Points the Way to Those Who Wish
a Share of That Country's Great
Mineral Wealth.
Governor John G.Brady has issued a
statement1 to investors which will do
much to guide capital into the right
channels and prevent the small as well
as the large investor from purchasing
stock in anything but mines of real
value. Governor Brady has lived in
Alaska for twenty-six years. He has
been Governor for the past eight years
and is Governor to-day. He knows
every section of Alaska, and his admin-istration
covers the entire period of
great mining production amounting to
over $100,000,000 in the last six years.
Governor Brady helped to organize
the Reynolds-Alaska Development
Company and states that it is founded
on the true idea—fairness to stockhold-ers,
strength and stability of organiza-tion,
and large prospective profits. The
statement to investors issued by Gover-nor
Brady has been printed by the
Reynolds-Alaska Development Com-pany,
and will be mailed, together
with full details regarding Alaska and
the company, without charge, by ad-dressing
them at their New York office,
60 Broadway.
The Turkey's Place.
Why and how the turkey first be-came
linked with the religious holiday
does not appear, unless the good folks
of old thought it but right and proper
to feast the stomach and the mind to-gether
and selected the turkey because
of his many epicurian virtues as the
stomach's best friend. It is enough to
know that the festival day and the
proud bird are associated for all time to
come.
Observations.
The brown-as-a-berry girl is back.
In town we don't re<!bgnize "the
melancholy days."
As a rule, the larger the talker the
smaller the doer.
One may h a t e one's weaknesses, but
invariably it's the other fellow who is
in the wrong. Of that one feels certain.
Nothing in life is more amusing, and
at the same time more pitiful, than the
average person's opinion of himself or
herself.
To a person with no small talk at the
tongue's end the way those in the social
treadmill glibly repent conversational
nothings is a source of constant won-derment.
Just what will be done with good
people who do not want to go to Heaven
if so-and so and you-kuow-who are to
be there would seem to be a grave ques-tion.
When a woman works for less than a
man she is called names. When she
demands the same she is presuming.
And when she demands more she has
unspeakable effrontery.
Even the prudent woman feels like a
foolish thing to be buying coal on a
melting day. Suppose she shouldn't
live or should go away, how much
more good the money would do invest-ed
in automobile rides.
Bow to be Happy.
Many of us miss the joys that might
be ours by keeping our eyes fixed on
those of other people, says Success.
No one can enjoy his own opportuni-ties
for happiness while he is envious
of anothers. We lose a great deal of
the joy of living by not cheerfully ac-cepting
the small pleasures that come
to us every day, instead of longing
and wishing for what belongs to oth-ers.
We do not take any pleasure in
our own modest horse and carriage, be-cause
we long for the automobile or
victoria that someone else owns. The
edge is taken off the enjoyment of our
own little home because we are watch-ing
the palatial residence of our neigh-bor.
We can get no satisfaction out of
a trolley ride into the country or a sail
on a river steamer because someone
else can enjoy the luxury of his own
carriage or yacht. Life has its full mea-sure
of happiness for everyone of us, if
we would only make up our minds to
make the very most of every opportun-ity
that comes our way, instead of long-ing
for the things that come our neigh-bor's
way.
Thanksgiving Joys.
The joys of Thanksgiving are not
partaken in the fullness thereof by
many city boys and girls. They sim-ply
know that it is a holiday, when
the pleasures and trials of school life
are temporarily laid aside; when
churches are open for those who want
to return devout thanks for the mani-fold
blessing with which they may
have been showered, and when the
larder fairly groans with uncommon
delicacies.
I am as certain as I now live, says
Mr. C. E. Bartholomew, Kalkaska,
Mich., that Dr. David Kennedy's Fav>
orite Remedy, of Rondout, N. Y., saved
my life when I was a victim of that
terrible disorder—Bright's disease. My
son had a fever sore on his leg ; he too
used Favorite Remedy and is now well.

Our Turkey Crop.
The turkey crop of the United States
finds its first important market at
Thanksgiving, when, according to a re-liable
estimate, about 6,000,000 of the
birds are sold. It is raised in small
lots all over the country, each farmer
contributing a few. This crop of 6,000,
000 Thanksgiving turkeys, if all of
then were marching in single file,
would stretch from Boston to San Fran-cisco
and as far as Denver on the return
journey.
From Cellar to Garret.
Blood stains on a silk gown can be
removed by cold strong borax water.
A faded cotton dress can be made
white by boiling in cream of tartar wat-er.
The wax from dripping candles can
be removed from table linen by a gener-ous
application of alcohol.
A little soap mixed with stove black-ing
will produce better and more lasting
lustre than without.
The smart woman saves time and pa-tience
by keeping a shoe horn with the
children's rubbers to make their don-ning
easy.
Cold rain water and soap will remove
machine grease. To remove peach
stains soak fabric in spirits of camphor
before wetting.
Grass stains on linen should be soak-ed
for a few moments in kerosene ; then
washed in very hot water with a gener-ous
supply of soap.
Alum, the size of a hickory nut, dis-solved
in a pint of starch will brighten
the color in muslins, ginghams and
calicoes after washing.
After table silver has been polished, if
laid away, it will keep bright for a year
in a paper box well covered with flour
that has been thoroughly dried.
Clean enameled shoes with sweet
milk after all dust and dirt has been re-moved,
allowing the milk to remain on
for a minute then wiping with a soft,
dry cloth.
Photographs can be nicely cleaned
with a soft cloth moistened with luke-warm
water to which a little ammonia
has been added. Use very lightly and
immediately wipe the picture with a
soft, dry cloth.
Novel Inventions to be Pushed.
Cow-tail holders, sanitary cuspidors,
non-refillable bottles, weed pullers,
milking machines, hay stackers, comb
cleaners, burglar-proof door locks and
new-fangled, double-decker dishpans
are among the interesting products that
may be turned out wholesale by the
American Manufacturing Company, if
the twoscore and ten inventors in ses-sion
at the World's Fair succeed in ef-fecting
the organization of this corpora-tion.
The plan of the promoter, J . M. Cripe,
of Matton, 111., is to organize a million-dollar,
corporation, accept one of several
alleged proffered factory sites, issue
stock to the inventors in return for the
exclusive privilege of manufacturing
their inventions, and then get busy. It
is this plan that the invention is now
trying to work out. This is the second
day they have been discussing ways
and means.
Already each inventor in attendance
and, it is announced, 550 who are ab-sent
have notified Mr. Cripe and Secre-tary
D. H. Bailey, of Loveland, Iowa,
of the nature of the invention they are
willing to assign to the prospective cor-poration
in return for stock.
Notable in the collection is the cow-tail
holder, which is offered by William
H. Osborn, a distinguished looking
delegate from Kokomo, Ind. This in-vention
is made of wire.
" I t slips under the cow's tail," Mr.
Osborn explains, "and prevents the
cow from swishing its tail around and
striking the milker in the face. It also
prevents a cow from kicking, if strapped
tightly, and therefore, will also prevent
her from spilling the milk.
A Boy Accused of Murder.
Charles Weaver, sixteen years of age,
of Terre Hill, was lodged at the county
prison about four o'clock on Friday
afternoon by Detective Broome, charg-ed
before AldeEja^n Bressler with the
murder of a companion, Jacob Rutt,
the fourtei'ii-yo&r-oHl son of Samuel
Rutt, of Terre Hill. Complaint was
entered at the instance of District At-torney
GrofF, and the arrest was made
on Friday.
Our readers will remember the case.
The boys went hunting on October 15,
and Rutt was shot on Aaron Burkhold-er's
farm. The following day he died,
but before dying told his father Weaver
had shot him while the victim was sit-ting
on a fence, and Weaver had begged
him not to tell who shot him, and he
would pay the doctor's bill. Weaver
insisted that Rutt had been accidentally
shot by his own gun, but after the Cor-oner's
jury visited the spot and ascer-tained
that the boy could Dot have been
shot under the circumstances described
by Weaver the latter confessed that he
had shot the boy, accidentally. The
hearing will be held this week.

got me to write to Dr. Pierce. I got an early

and also the 'Pleasant Pellets,' and now
can sav that I feel like a new woman. I do all
my work and do not feel tired out like I used to.
