He felt the hand on his shoe, and he saw the round, unbelieving eyes of the small Dodson boy staring at him through the little window; but still he was too mortified and miserable to say a word. When the vehicle at last turned in at In the other vehicle, one of the twin boys climbed up and stared out of the little window in the curtain. "Dane‘s gone," he said, in a tone of great surprise. He kept on saying it wuntil Mr. Dodson reached down and caught hold of the toe of Oliver‘s shoe. "Oh, no!" he said. "Jane‘s not gone. I have her foot in my hand." Here was a protty state of affairs! At first Jane called shrilly; but the road was stony, and the wheels were, rattling at such a rate that no one heard her. As for Oliver, he was too much ashamed to call; he merely sat with his head buried in the robes, and kept silent. Old Mr. Dunn and his daughter kept up such a loud and lively talking that, after a while, Jane despaired of ever making them hear her. Before t! rould get t of sight of gy went rol er, and the In#@ off dow expected thing happened. Old Mr. Dunn suddenly said, "Giddap!" to gray Robin, and at the very same instant Mr. Dodson said, "Come up, Patsy!" and off went both buggies as hard as they could go, rattling down the turnâ€" pike, and each of them had the wrong child in the back. Before the two astonished, children could get thair breath they were out of sight of each other. The Dunn bugâ€" gy went rolling away round the cornâ€" er, and the Dodson buggy went dashâ€" In#@ off down the pike. _ i Yor a chat. One crisp November noon two bugâ€" gies were traveling down the Harley turnpike. Not only were the vehicles #ull in front, but they carried each a So they changed. â€"Oliver slipped quickly into the back of the Dodson buggy and fat little Jane scrambled over into the back of the Dunn buggy. It was easily done. But just as Jane began to feel the warmth of the hot brick through the soles of her stout little shoes, and just as Oliver succeeded in kicking the heels of one of the twins, an unâ€" "I can touch the heels of my twin brothers," she reported calmly. Oliver was silent; he had no twin brothers. "Let‘s change seats for a minute," he proposed. » Mr. Dunn and Mr. Dodson were talking about crops. Old Mr. Dunn was deaf, and so the conversation was rather loud. "I‘m going to have Thanksgiving dinner with my grandfather," she exâ€" plained. ¢ Jane could not bear to think there was no hot brick at her feet. "You just ought to feel it," said Oliver. "It‘s fine." Jane did not know what to reply. Then she said: "You just ought to feel how easy it is to stretch a little and touch my father‘s heel." Oliver began to squirm under the robes that covered him. "I can touch my grandfather‘s heel," 'he snd "Hurry up!"

Little Jane Dodson, snugly tucked in with robes, looked at Oliver Bates, who was also snugly tucked in, and laughed and crinkled her nose. my feet," he added. Jane almost disappeared from view. Presently she struggled back into a gitting position. % _ "So am I," said Oliver, "with my grandfather. He came for me and my mother.

A faint voice floated back through the frosty night air. "So did we!" cried Jane. Just then Grandfather Dunn said, "Giddap!" loudly to old Robin, and Mr. Dodson snapped his whip over Patsy‘s back. The Dodson buggy went rocking ahead of the other; but before it was out of hearing Oliver leaned far out of his place and shoutâ€" ed another message to Jane. ly "We had the biggest turkey in the world," Oliver continued. "We had the two biggest ducks," came from the other buggy. "And the biggest pumphin pies andâ€"" Jane‘s voice faltered. She was almost asleep. "You have a very good grandfather and grandmother, Jane," he observed. #Yours are good, too," Jane said kindly. "The dinner was fine," Oliver went About the same time Jane‘s father and mother decided that they would keep Oliver. No one wanted to eat a cold Thanksgiving dinner. Then Jane‘s story came out. It was all she could do to keep from crying, but when she saw Grandfather Dunn‘s fat sides shaking she began to laugh, and two big salt tears ran into her mouth. Father and Mother Dodson were so busy getting together their wraps and robes that they did not look at Oliver, who stood just behind them, red and wretched. They thought grandmother was pretending not to know Jane. "That‘s our good little girl," Mrs. Dodson said cheerfully. "She always travels here behind us, you know, as snug as a bug in a rug." At that, Oliver longed to sink into the earth. Grandmother Dodson came closer and peered at him, while the twins, bursting with curiosity, gazed at him with solemn faces. Then Jane‘s father and mother turned and saw PLRHZ Oliver did not wait for any q.uu- tions. "Jane is all right," he said, choking: "Onlyâ€"she‘s at my grandâ€" father‘s instead of hers." Then he told the whole story. "What shall we do about Oliver‘s mother. "Do about it?" echoed Grandfather Dunn. "It‘s too late now to do anyâ€" thing about it. But I suppose we can find a wishbone or something for our company." His fat sides kept on shaking. stand it no longer. While Mr. Dodson was helping his wife and the little boys out, Oliver scrambled from under. the pile of robes and rushed round to the front of the buggy. Grandmother Dodson, who had come out to welcome the guests, peered over her spectacles. "Who is this you have brought along?" she said. 1 Meanwhile, the Dunn buggy had stopped‘ before the big farm gate. "Roll out of there, old man!" called Grandfather Dunn. "I don‘t know what I‘d do if I didn‘t have a grandâ€" son to open the gates for me when I go traveling round." _ When he had called twice he got out himself and came round to the back "Bless me, Maria!" he called to his daughter, in a queer voice.

Dinner at the largest hotel Polly had ever seen, then out to the football game, supper and then to the theatre. Such adventures! Dinner was very exciting and Mr. Kenyon kept every one laughing, but, best of all, before saying goodâ€"night, Uncle Bob had obtained permission to borrow Polly for Thanksgiving. What a day it was! Polly peeped around the edge of her chair. The jolliest sort of a person was coming into the room. "You siranded too? I‘m Jane‘s Uncle Bob. Say, how‘d you like to adopt me for a day?" The idea of adopting such a tall, grownâ€"up gentleâ€" man sent Polly into a gale of merriâ€" ment, and by the time Miss Warren returned to announce supper they were chatting away like old friends. "Hullo!" he cried, catching sight of her. "Better go in there by the fire and rest a bit," Miss Warren suggested apologetically. She felt that someâ€" thing should be done in the principal‘s absence, but she was a vagus little person and could think of nothing else to suggest. It was 6 o‘clock and all at once she had a brilliant idea, "Perâ€" haps you‘d stay for tea," she added anxiously. soon forgob that toâ€"morrow was Thanksgiving. â€" Suddenly mixed. in a hazy way with the characters of the story, she became aware of a deep, pleasant voice talking in the entry.

If Polly had been at school from the beginning of the term, surely some of the girls would have carried her off for Thanksgiving, but she scarcely knew them. Another tear chased the first one, when a sharp rap at the door made her swallow hard «and fly for her handkerchief. "Come in!" she called, and in came Ann Elizabeth with a big parcei. There was a box of candy from dad, a little fruit cake from mother, a gay little book from Bob, a feather from the turkey and a jar of ginger cookies, Polly blew her nose vigorously and decided to cheer up. Taking the book and a handful of cookies, she went down into the study and eurled up beâ€" fore the fire.

POLLY‘S THANKSâ€" What probably happened was that these grains, derived from the gravelâ€" ly soil, lodged on the young rice plants when they were being grown in nurâ€" peries (for sabsequent trarsplantation tOJ}hO kelds) and fooded at intervals In prosperous years, when the goda favored the valley with an ample har vet of rice, grains of gold were found now and then on the rice ears. This greatly mystified the natives, who asâ€" cribed the gold to supernatural powers, One of the world‘s most prolific gold fields at the present time is in the Ko ar district (Mysore State) of Indta. Discorery of it was made in a curious 1w0 sUIGRE® OCcurrence, at first Geemed supernaturel, bed to the dis. Helium was ultimately founrd in hot springs and in the air, while the minerals in which it was discovered were found to be alike in one respoct the radiations from trem could be made, like radium, to reveal themâ€" selves in the darkness,. Up to the pre sent, however, the demand for helium has boen far greater than the supply. For that reason Great Britain has co opereated with America to develop the known sources. It is hoped before long to fill dirigible airships with a gas which is absolutely impervious to fire and explosion, and which will thus revolutionize aeronautics. With the exception of hydrogen, helium is the lightest gas known. It does not, like other gases, require to be mixed with other properties to imâ€" prove its power and utility, . It is cheaper than other gases andâ€"it will not explode. This means that airships of the future will no longer be in danger from explosion or fire when exposed to heat or a spark, and that the gas can at any time be handled with imâ€" punity, The secret was not revealed, howâ€" ever, until nearly thirty years after Sir Norman Lockyers original disâ€" covery, when the eminert British sclentist, Sir William Ramsay, disâ€" covered it by accident, He was makâ€" ing certain investigations in courecâ€" tion with a mineral known as cleveite, which is a variety of uraninite or pitchâ€"blende, the mineral from which Mme, Curie obtained radium, From this mineral hbe developed certain gases which revealed the brilliant yelâ€" low line of the sun and the volcanic gases which had aroused so much inâ€" terest, Other metals were tried, some of which revealed the same yellow light. And so the discovery was made that the mysterious yellow line represontâ€" ed an hitherto unknown gas which generated from the sun as well as from the earth. The mystery of this line puzzleod Sir Norman and other scientists for a number of years. Interest in it was again revived when a scientist invest:â€" gating the gases from a mud volcano in the neighborhood of Vesuvius noâ€" ticed the same bright yellow line. Thus it was identified as something which came out of the earth as woll as the sun. w The rainbow effect which can be seen t{oun the triangular glass is known to scientists as the solar specâ€" trum, and when an instrument called the spectroscope became perfected, ‘bther phenomena of the sun were obâ€" served, particularly during an eclipse, and photographed. When the photoâ€" graphic plates were developed and the record examined, a bright yellow line was discovered. Investigation failed to identify the line with any element on earth, and it was attributed to some metal in the sun. In 1868, during his observations of a total eclipse of the san, he discoverâ€" ed in the sun‘s atmosphere the gas which later became known as helium, from the Greek word meaning the sun element. * ‘_ Mow Discovery Was Made. Sir Norman Lockyer‘s wonderful discovery was made in the following sun. The discovery of helium forms a fasâ€" ginating story of scientific investigaâ€" tion. Sir Norman Lockyer, the world famous astronomer, who died a few weeks ago at the age of eightyâ€"four, was the first man to reveal to the world the gaszeous atmosphore of the THE MOST WONDERFUL GAS IN THE WORLD. in our childhood days we someâ€" times played with triangular pieces of glass, such as those which dangle from old fashioned chandeliers. We admired the rainbow colors reflected as the rays of the sun passed through them. From that childish pastime sprang the disoovery of helium, the most wonâ€" derful gas in the world.
