To-day it was gray and rough an. noisy, and tie few boats which went down to ward Lake Huron pitched about so that their decks slante.i first one way, then -nother, nd their sides were coated with ice. "Gran'ma, what day's to-day?" he asked at last, turning from the stormy river to 6lance about their warm, comfortable little room. "Wednesday, Benny," answered tne small Ad woman who crouched over the stove. 'Then to-morrow will be Thanks giving day, and the Rosses are going to have a turkey," said Ben, excited ly. "What are we going to have, gran'm: ." Mrs. Moxon looked over her glasses at her grandson's small, thin figure, in its patched and faded clothes, and at his bright, eager tace. "Sonny, dear, what do you think gran'ma has for Thanksgiving?" she asked, gently. The expectant look faded from Ben's lace, and he winked hard to keep the tears from running over. He 'id not need to be told how tbare of dainties their cupboa:'d was, for everything there he had brought with his own hands. Bacon and smoked fish. enough for :ll winter were stored away; lour, pctatoes, a.a a few other vegetables were there.

What makes you work so hard on Thanksgiving day?" Then he straightened up, to seei the boat's captain standing near its ptlot house, and shouting through a gyeat trum-t. "I'm waiting for dinner to cook," Ben answered in his piping voice. "C-.n't hear you!" roared the cap taiu. "Run hom, and get your horn and talk to 'ne." Ben ran up tie little hill to Mrs. Ross' and borrowed her trumpet, or megaphone. One's voice sounds much louder when these are uged, and they arp to b- found at every house on the shores of the St. Mary's, for the people on the boats and those on the land often want to say "Ho-' do you do?" to each other. It was all Ben could do to hold the great tin trumpet out straight, for It was nearly as long as he was. "I'm waiting for dinner to cook!" the boy shouted again, and this time the captain heard him. "Going to have turkey, I suppose?" the captain asked. "No. bu. we're going to have tur key stuffing," answered Ben, with pride. "Turkey stuffing, but no turkey If that isn't iLe be3t I ever he:.rd!" The captain had dropped his trum pet, and doubled up with sudden laughter. Luckily, Ben did not hear. "What else you going to ihave?",he called, when he had repeated the joke to those about him.

You may be sure Ben lost no time in pushing the r owboat off into the tream, where the end of a ,lank ind its delicious load were soon bob )ing up and down on the water. How he did smack his lips when he Lifted then into the boat, and how leased he was for grandma! "First the stuffing, and then the urkey! My, ain't I lucky?"
