admitted glory as she was on her knees piling birch sticks beside the fireplace she made them into a beautiful symmetrical heap be fore she sat hack on her heels to survey b her work already she had made cocoa and coasted tjbread over the coals she bad unpacked her suitcase upstairs and set the picture- of the dears on the dresser to smile at her that was the best they could do at welcoming her home since they were on the other side of the atlantic an hour had glory been here in the old place of course she had expected to meet hannah ann at the junction and the two of them come on together that had been the- longdistance plan of the dears for her and her beloved twins thanksgiving vacation hannah ann the- maid who had gone to her sisters when her master and mistress left for their year abroad had appar ently failed olory but the beloved twin whose other name was jerry would not for he was coming thanksgiving morn- fag well have a glorious time she had written whats a wajpnah ann

were plenty of birch sticks to warm the time i cookies come first she would make a croekful she would make pies stuff the turkey cook vegetables and thanks giving day after the stage brought jerry she would sweep him a bow and sayj dinner is served this was a joke being here alone if you were inclined to call it a joke glory called it that ihmrnnh ann or no tttitii ann there was going to be a thanksgiving dinner at the folks the twins littlechild version of the prlginal name the oaks there was going to be a turkey weighing eleven pounds yes sir i qlony had already bought it on the hoof as

hannah ann i she was glad about so many things this glory person gladdest of all that jerry the beloved was so near what was the use of being twins if you did not get together for a gorgeous re- union and this was going to be it 1 wonder who the nextdoor people are 4his41 ol h time to think m ahe flew about the big warm kitchen gathering her tools for the coming as semblage that nextdoor family was never the some when the twins came home for vacations sometimes the tiny house was full sometimes only a man and woman it was full this time for children were oozing obt of its seams i one a little oarger child seemed to be in a whirl of excitement of some sort she was whirling distractedly but you could see joyously issuing orders to the allttlesmaller ones glorys window was open to the mild october air and an order or two drifted in the nextdoor house was so terribly next door dont shake the rugs so close up to her window ellle take them to the other aide of the house dont you see her kitchen windows open my goodness if children arent the uunotlclnestl sarahbeue yo mind the twins while i dress the turkey we are going tocair him a- turkey tool its his other name chickens just his everyday name wished he had more room inside to stuff v a new little voice piped wished he had four legs or five legs arent two legs something to thanks- give for and a breast and a neck and elejrenpound turkey and she put in her evening stuffing it as she had seen hannah ann do it with lamps lighted in a row the warm kitchen was a plea sant place ever tobe alone in it was beginning to smell thanksglvingyl at bedtime glory experienced her first lonesomehess fqir- company she slept in the room nearest the liftle house of voices iwas qvllte dark over there but she was sure she heard a little voice singing wrapping herself in a quilt glory raised her window widder and frankly listened it was a lullaby song and she pictured- one of the twins wake ful and being lulled by that darling cook voice because mother was at a hos- plttle the oddly warm night was full of stars and country noises and that little singing voice whos lonesome scoffed glory hopping into bed the next day which was the day be fore thanksgiving was full to the brim ot happy warm goodsmelling work and glory sang as she hustled about it was hard having the dears a whole ocean away hard to be quite so thankful at thanksgiving time and hannah anns failure to spear was too provoking but the sunshone and the birch sticks snap ped and jerry was on his way to her so why not sing tra lala lala sang glory 5 brown on that mince pie con gratulate you cook nice stuffing for the tufk jerryllove it nobody can say im not an apt pupil of hannah ann i will put the nextdoor cookies in this big crock no i wont eat an other one when shall i take them over she began to wish they were over there and done with she dreaded bursting in with heres some cookies merry thanksgiving if they were as darling children as their voices sounded she decided ill go this afternoon when my work is done they would prob- ably be more cleared up and ready for company the littleolder voice had sounded as if it would rather be cleared up for strangers you can hear pride in voices if you have a good listening ear this glory person reflected sagely she went on with her working and sing ing and thanksgiving the mall at the oaks was brought by a rural route delivery -man- tnr- a noisy little car glory heard her letters com ing way down the road with ar coat around her shoulders she ran to the gate to meet it of course there would not- be another letter from the dears after yesterdays but the noise was cer tainly getting ready to stop so there miirt bn some mail even a circular or a cookies- nothing like tea and cookies for a tonic even at eighteen the all- alone lady sipped and nibbled with the gravity and deliberation of thrice that age and the process was distinctly com forting afterward jshe set her kitchen to right put on more birch sticks and proceeded to write the dears no lovelier way in the world to make tune pass dear dears she wrote here i am at the polks come into the pantry and ill show you the thanksgfving din ner in a row ever see a plumber turk in u our lives eleven pounds on the hoof he is all ready except a thorough heating tomorrow nothing like being ready of course she couldnt wait till thanksgiving morning to cook him one of you is sajjrog to the other of you that childj glory tiever could wait wellwhat if the letter proceeded gaily page after page no word in it of hannah anns defection appeared and no word of jerrys why trouble dears who were thirtyfive hundred miles off just skipping hannah ann and jerry was kinder just talking about the weather- and the turkey and the little nextdoor voices that was better it was surprising how many pages she could write about weather and turkeys and voices thanksgiving morning the sun woke glory and- she lay for a startled moment remembering things that hurt a- long day stretched before her and she won dered how she could sing a whole long day through get up allalone lady you iassy creature and pipe up she fairly shouted sing glory glory hallelujah this day goes marching on it will march on go downstairs and set it marching hark somebodys knocking at the kitchen door at the window glory could see a little him up somehow theres ways and ril mix up a pudding about all raisins when dinner is ready r 11 blow ihe- old dinner horn tor you j in- the little house next- the miracle in the oven had been discovered and all the voices were running at once pandemonium reigned for- mother was getting better and now a regular turkey had replaced the makebelieve all of you that can wash your faces and hands ill scrub the rest were going and thank her in procession ellie you can speak your piece and sarahbeue can sing darling i am growing old and me and the twinsll just stand by unless the voice a little older than the rest rose ecstatically unless i have to kiss her i the world that day was full of thanks- giving some had turkeys some scraggy little chickens that- did their best but hone none at all could have been thankfuiler than this brother and sister who sat side by side nationwide fame there is scarcely a corner of this great dominion where the merits of dr thomas eclectric oil have not been tried and proved it is one of the worlds most efficient remedies for sore throat lame back and many other ailments arising from inflamma tion rubbed on the skin its healing xt wings and and giblets i wonder did anyof you see her when she went to i mean werent they a living soul with her you saw her sarahbeue a voice which r must be sarahbelles replied just her alone in a furry big cloak what of her i saw under her hat was simply lovely ohy lovely whats lovelyand lonely 1 poor thing i know what if nobody except she is there thanksgiving well invite her to dinner with us thats what mother if shes home from the hospittled do now all of you clear out eos my mind can foe empty of everything but stuffing olory at her window suddenly made a queer sound and whether it was a laugh ot a sob would be hard to tell the voices had heenso distinct and sweet 9r the first time in her life she was glam the little house bugged the big one ao closely and she was glad the two windows were open she went on about her baking with a warm feeling of com pany close bjy one two three five companies she counted them on her fingers ellle sarahbeue the twins and the cook but they wont have to invite me to dinner i know what tool 111 make two rules of cookies cut in animal shapes lots of them to please the babiest ones there were dog- shapes and tfora shapes- and she could manage a cooky- man and a cookywomant the afternoan jumped ahead her cheeks grew redder and redder the cooky crock grew fuller and fuller olory finished the cookies and began getting the vegetables ready for the pot and the the fanner appeared with the newspaper would be company two cried glory treal letters no ones a dispatch tea i told the telegraph boy i could get it here sooner than he could on a bicycle for i didnt have many stops to make this time i guess your telephone isnt on the job they tried but couldnt get anybody no no it doesnt go said olory absently she was gazing at the yellow envelope that- might so easily carry bad hews of course not for in these days people telegraphed for you to shut the windows or to wish you a merry thanks giving it was bad news not as glory said soberly bad news not so bad as that but bad enough jerry was not coming rjot coming to her dinner that was al most cooked the message repeated itself tolllngly like a sad bell in her heart for the fir i seemed to the n disappointed girl as if nothing could be worse then she caught at her courage with both hands and actually managed a pale laugh actually joked with fate all right then i have both legs and neck and wings and giblets the picture of her lone self sitting down to t table tomorrow with a who thanksgiving dinner to eat and no jolly twin brother opposite to help a desolate day with a desolate weekend to come was a little too much to ask even of a gallant courage glory turned back to the house with tearsrunning down her cheeks in spite ot her shes acryinjt one little voice told another seems as if im going to cry sarahbeue you get me a clean handker chief wish i could ccomfort her wished i could -toottt- land me the telegram read invited to ted mpffitta for thanksgiving great fun six fellows jerry young mofiitt was jerrys chum six fellows meant the boys would have great fun together no i wont be hurt ill want him to have great fun ill have fun nobody shall stop me she was so dreadfully hurt nevertheless for being twins some how made the disappointment worse glory dropped into a chair and rocked violently it seemed to help and by and by the chair rocked more gently rocked very gently stopped there i feel better ive rocked the meanness out of me i hope glory you listen to me stop looking as if youd lost your last friend jerry is still a friend of course six fellows are greater f utt than one sister i at the end of rather a difficult hour she was herself again and she insisted upon the singing tra lala lala she trilled in a high clear key she did not dare to stop she decided it was safer to trala the rest of theweekj when olory stopped she laughed i jhlnk now she satd brtlkly the afl- alotdf lady win have a cup of tea with group of bundled figures the little- larger bundled figure was knocking olory leaned out or the window yes rm not dressed you see may i answer out of the window oh i oh vesm wete the folks next door and we kind o thought- perhaps maybe you would baste our turk turkey firmly while we went to our mothers hosplttle toto thanksgive its visiting day andjtheyjsjbgoesjclosejand shell be surprised we want to surprise her we have to leave the- turkey roasting and sarahbeue thought perhaps you would sarahbelles the greatest sug gested the basting spoon is right there and there is plenty of water to baste with of course oh id love to you go right along and dont think of turkeys till you get back i hope- your mother is getting better yesm we hope glory dressed swiftly the day had taken on a keen interest she would go over before she ate breakfast their turkey should be basted and browned beautifully 6hesllppedacrossthe yard found the door opened into a small hot kitchen full of a disturbing odorglory sniffed and darted to the stove the turkey was a chicken a little chicken a pathetic turkey that had indeed been basted with water and burn ed a little between bastings it was enough to make you cry glory crouched power is readily absorbed and it can also betaken internally nineteen days had september september had only nineteen days in the year 1752 as you will see if you visit the british museum reading room and ask for a copy of riders british merlin for that year the british merlin was whitakers almanack of that time j all this happened for a rather curious reason until 1752 great britain used the julian calendar the compiler of this calendar many centuries before had not been able to measure quite accurately the length of a year the result as that as time went on the error grew and grew and if some change had not been made we shoutdcventually have been skating when it was midsummer according to the almanack and sunbathing at official christmastime something had to be done and it was decided to out eleven days out- of sep tember in 1752 and then to adopt a new calender which would render errors impossible in the future this step produced tremendous agita- tatlon many people though they had -been-robbed-of-eleven-days-of-their- lives and there were hostile aehionstfatlms in many parts of the country before the turkey and cried the poor dears so you are their thanks- giving dinner are you oh arent you ashamed of yourself the chicken was scraggy and knobby with some sort of stuffing glory shuddered and it only had two legs it takes but a flash of time to have a beautiful thought while sitting on the floor before the skimy little chicken masquerading gallantly as a turkey when glory arose to her feet she knew what was going to hap pen in that oven and laughed with de light that chicken was going to grow to be a turkey exactly what happened in the next- door house when the children arrived olory never knew for something hap pened at the folks too jerry the beloved twin and hannah ann came to gether and appeared before the innocent and busy glory at her oven door jerry hannah ann of course jerry didnt you know what train i was coming on my but it is good to see you again but you said in your telegram in my- what telegram you said you had been invited to your chums six of you and were going to have great fun lrst ive heard of any tolegramt hold on ted threatened to

the oven she flung it open as she said thats our thanks giving turkey dont you dare to make fun of him i think hes lovely i was going to eat the whole of him but now ill only eat a third did you say turkey looks to me call him a urkey if you- love me just call him j hes a turkey laughed jerry real izing there was something queer going on but who cared it was so grand to get home and see the good
