The mother's face was radiant. You |
spend Thanksgiving at home. How
happy she was!
The din of the machinery which she
thought was never absent from her
oars, was unheard, and she sat down to
her solitary supper of bread and milk
with a light heart.
One day a week later, Miss Btrong,
had & call from Jennie Adam's, the min-
isters young daughier. Jeunie was al-
ways a welcome visitor for she was
merry and lovesble, but to-day she had
very little to say. She came to bring a
report of Foreign missions her father
had sent, and them she sat down by the
fire and did mot speak.
“What's happened in your world,
Jennie?" asked Miss Strong.
«Oh, nothing much, but I don't see
the use of living sometimes. Paps
would say that was wicked, but if you
can't have what you need, what is the
good.”

sick I pretty near broke down. He bas
talked about Mary all the time, and
even now, before he can really sit up he
keeps it up. I do believe if she could
only come home for Thanksgiving, he
would get right up agam. But that
would take four precious dollars, so we
must not think of it.
“Ma is going to write to Mary, to-
day,” said the boy in a feeble voice,
“Yes, I told her I would write the
very first day he could sitvp. I told
her all about your kindness, and she
said she would never forget it.”
Miss Strong only stayed a few min-
utes, for she had another call to make,
and moreover a bright thought had
come into her mind. Perhaps it would
be more truthful to say, it had been
sent into her heart by one of those
messengers who bring such thoughts.
“Why not make a Thanksgiving at
the Widow Lane's, with four of the
precious dollars,”
She thought it over for several days,
and so it happened that poor tired
Mary Lane, returning to her room after
Bat when the basket full was ordered
to the Larkin's house, he changed his
tone and told Miss Strong in a very
deferential way, that it should be sent
immediately, and everything should be

they would never forget it, and Jim
was 80 bright this morning, and as the
weather was mild he was going to try
to walk a short distance with Mary,
and Mary was 80 happy.
But Miss Strong could not stop for
more as the bell had ceased to ring, but
she took a warm heart with her into
church. No sooner had she taken her
seat, than a hand was slipped into hers,
and she found the happy eyes of Jenny
looking into hers. “It came last nignt
her day's toil, found a letter there with
Miss Strong,” she whispered, “You are

would have cared.”
“Hush,” she said, for the minister
wus beginning the service, but she
found thst the happy face beside her
did her as much good as the sermon.
“Now,” said Jennie, as they rose to
leave the chnreh, ‘‘you are going with

“Going where?”
