Kflic was cleaning the parlor now. H

in t lie light wind and patches of green here
and there showed that the trostn hud been

sometimes then Granville can see me right
uway in my new blue dress. He didn't see
anything like it in Cuba, if Lily t'etitt did
say the Cuban girls are so pretty. I never
nued for such dark complexions myself. To
be sure, Granville is dark himself, but that
is diiFerent. I'll not look when he comes
in; no, I'll not turn my bead even a tiny
bit, Then, after awhile, I'll just glance
across and smile at Dan Archer not much of
a smile, but it will seem a good deal to
Granville!" She started and ran a pin
.into her finger, as her mother's voice
leached her:
"What you doing now, Effie! Pinning
th' leaves on th curtains? Oh! 1 didn't
Know but what you'd got t' studying again;
it was so quiet in here. Well, now, it does
look nice!"
ElHc was working with guilty haste now.
"Granville '11 be waiting to see us go out;

me alone if he's ufraid of me! 1 can't help
it if Dan Archer does like me at least, I
don't suppose J could, and yes, ma, I'm
coming right now!"
Thanksgiving day was clear a"nJ colder.
Mr. Hill hinted at the possibility of snow,
but then he had no new dress to wear to
church and could think calmly of falling
weather. I
Evidently Mrs. Hill bad something on her
mind; all during breakfast she kept clear
tng her throat, and several times while
they were washing the dishes she made as
if to speak, then closed her mouth once
more. As the bung the dishcloth on its!
nail, she turned to her daughter: Sec here,
Eff:e," she said, "1 giicM you'll have to
slay at home this morning and get dinner.'
Your pa wants me to go If is cousin, Mirah
dill, is coming over with his second wife,
and your p& thinks I ought t' be there. You
won't i.nnd, will you? It ain't as if you
had anything special t' "go for."
'leure sprang to EfhVs eyes. She turned
bet bu;h eiientiy, and her mother accepted
siieme a& .&.-.rnt.
"tlui li'.-i t ni-nd," she said to her hus
band, n- im drove out of the yard, "I

studing uml it-.rget th' cranberries. The
hctba lor th tut key are on the right-hand
shelf" her voice died away in the dis
tance. interminable days before seeing Granville!
Alter awhile he went upstairs and, after
listening a moment, though she knew there
was no one in the house, she raised a !oose
piece of carpet and unearthed her greatest
treasure. It was a tear-stained copy of the
Weekly Clarion, and it described the laud
ing of tin gallant Third -and the subsequent
skirmii-h in which "Corporal Granville
r.arkcr, of this township, who, had dis
played great bravery," was shot in the arm.
"And suppose he bad died believing alt

those things Lily Pctitt told him!" Kilie
cried.
She was' putting away the paper, the dis
appearance of which had caused her father
such annoyance, when a thought struck her.
"Mercy, the cranberries!" she cried,
dashing downstairs to liud a black, sticky
muss in the bottom ot the kettle.. "Oh!
what will ma say! Whoever heard of a
Thanksgiving dinner without cranberries, :
and there are ho more in the house!"
Tho traces of her carelessness removed,
the turkey in the oven and the tire "roared
up," she stared dejectedly into the yard.
"Oh, how I hate Cousin Jane's husbuud !
and his second wife!" she cried.
"And why?" asked a voice she had not
hc ird since May,
"Oh, Ciranville! I why aren't you in
church?" I
"Guess 1 wnnted to see you, Effie, so I said
my arm hurt n little; they'll let me do any
thing if I mention that arm."
"Oh-h, Granville, is it all right now?"
she touched it reverently,
"As good as ever, Effie, And I corried
that housewife half over Cuba, But you
never wroto."
"I Lily Pcttitt said you guessed all the
girls would write, so I"
"Why, Elfic.' I never said that. I only
wanted you to think of me, and"
"But you hoven't told me about the war,"
she broke in, blushing, "Did you ever kill
a man, Granville?"
"I guess 1 did one, anyhow. Pe wa.

Effie nodded; hp waa crying. "I won
dered whether you'd care if 1 never came
back!" . 1
Two hours later, when Mr. Hill drove
up, his daughter gave a wild cry: ."The
turkey!" and ran into the house, which
was full of the rich odor of incinerated
fowl.
That was the Thanksgiving day upon
which Mr. and Mrs. Hill dined utdly on
canned corn, pickic and pumpkin pie. Aa
for Granville and Effie. they sat with hands
clasped under the tablecloth and ate the
food of the gods.
