watch the river in a storm. 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.

notice a big barge that was coming
slowly down the river, towing two
otwer blats behind it, until he heard
a voice ask:
"Hullo, kid! 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. "Mince pie
without any mincemeat?"
"No, sir!" Ben'q toize was shrill,

"Yes, sir!"
"Well, you hurry out into the
river, and I'll put off a float with

You may be sure Ben lost no time
in pushing the r owboat off into the
