thee the boys were called, and walk-
ed away, feeling sad and thoughtful.
"liat•ry,, can't we give Uncle Jake
and Aunt Chloe a Thanksgiving din -
asked Hollis.,

"I've got a dollar and a, half, and
I'll give my turkey." ,

little fellow's only possessions, and
were great pets. "Fritz' I(1ICW his

ter the, boys had performed the duties
required of them they sat down- ure
dev a tree in the yard to discuss
Tnituksg,iving. Their invalid aunt,
leaning languidly back at an upper
Window, heard their conversation,
and. knew the boys were in a dilem-
Mat She signalled them, and their
faces, brightened as they glanced up.
On the way upstairs Harry suggested
consulting Aunt Violet, and. they ran
with lighter hear es into her room.
Each kissed her gallantly ou the
cheek. .
"Boys, you neva- forget; to bring
me- dowers or something else you
think will make me happy, but you
forget to let Inc share your troubles.
I don't think it is hardly fair of
you.," So they told her of their
plans. She Smiled and, eld 0111 0.

Some good angel surely put that
happy impulse in ,your hearts. Sup -

Ilualiow were they to get; enougii. for
so many? inquired practical Harry.
•'We.reitist devise ways alld means,"
said Violet. . “To begin with; you
now„, have between you two dollars
auch fifty cents, a pig and ft turkey."

"That is a good beginning. I will

exclaimed: -
,
''res, boys; I really don't need a
COW, anti 1.11 give a dollar, und Your
lathe'. and Mother and Tom, too,
iviit each give. a dollar; that will be
six- dollars and a half ." Three-
year-oid Trixy Climbed the ,sticirway
, after the boys, and had been stand-
ing- unnoticed. at the door. When
' their; aunt ceased speaking she tod.-
'dledSinti the room with a kitten
hun-
der ere , Nil. Putting the docile pet
in Iter aunt's lap, she lisped: -"I env

.1letabtagged the dimpled darling, while
Hollis exclaimed: "Why, baby, peo-

two.hefore Thanksgiving, Aunt Julia
