“It'll be a sorry Thanksgiving for you,

The hour passed and no Ephraim. The
guests looked at one another and always
ended by stealing a glance at Miss Bascom.
“Austrated,” as Mrs. Thomson
said. If she let this opportunity slip she
might never have another. Polly always
said she would be married on Thanksgiv-

a long year before another came round.

Polly blushed and looked across

“I didn’t think Eph would act that way,”
she said. “It’s treatin’ me rather shabbily;
but just wait. I'll show him a thing or two,
for no'man can trifle with the affections of
Polly Bascom.’
An. another moment the bride-to-be had
crossed the roem and held out” her hand
to the parson. -
“I want to say that I disown Eph Lawson
—a man who hasn’t the courage to lead a
young lady to the altar,” she said. “I don’t
like to disappoint my friends and—te-
morrow won't be Thanksgiving. So, Parson
Trimble, if you can take me for better or
worse—take me yourself, I mean,” here
‘I'll do the best I can,
and Eph Lawson will learn to his sorrow
that he ean’t trifle with my affections.”
Parson Trimble coughed a little, he said
it was rather sudden, that he hadn’t thought
of such a thing, though all knew he had,

‘And if Polly don’t get a husband this

Sally Truaxe.
And when the party filed into the dining-
