So It came to the day before Thank_

That le ft a difference of sixteen
pounds, at probably 25 cents a pound

oo the old man's avaricious soul, and
the narrowing eyes said that the old
gobbler was doomed.
It may be that long association of
sim ilar minds bad brought them

haps the death-croaks of expiring
chickens that morning had agitated
the wise bird w ith a presentiment of
danger. But be that as It m ay.w ven
as the avaricious eyes were question

defiant gobble, spread Ills wings, and
rose majestically to the top of a n ea r

moment, then went on to the next,
and from there to the next end next,
and so on to the woods beyond.
