A Thanksgiving
Family Party
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN
The most delighttui pari or my uu
was that age when hoys and girls free
ly mingle with eiu-h other as friends,
half boy and girl, half man and wmn
an.
There was one Thanksgiving when
the head of our large family invited
every member that eould be reached to
s^cml a week in his large country
house, including Thanksgiving day
There were brothers and sisters, cousins,
second cous.ns and third cousins.
Many of tny relatives I laid never
seen.
Those of us of my generation went
in for n good time together. The girls
were of thyt age when a taste for mischief
predominates. Nothing seemed
to please them so well as to perpetrate
some innocent practical Joke on us
hoys. A third cousin of mine. Becky
Aldrlch, one morning while watering
some plants with a sprayer sprinkled
the back of my ueck. Though she was
behind me. she failed to escape before
I saw who she was.
One night when 1 was getting ready
for bed I found the legs of my pajamas
sewed up. JVlien I had ripped
the sewing, got ttiera on and tumbled
into bed I found the sheets scratched.
I uttered one exclamation and heard u
giggle at my door. I had turned off
the light, so, springing out of bed. 1
tiptoed hastily to the door, opened it
and was In time to grab the last of a
flock of girls who ran away in the
darkn^^^g^gyPJU^^j^thejnrej
Throwing my arms {round my captive,
N gave her a^jj^ck, she strug
gong 10 oe iree,uaen let ner go. supping
back intfi^my room, I turned on
a light, and there sticking on to the
breast of my pajamas was an elongated
pin of chased gold set In the
enter with a single sapphire.
The i roblem was to Identify the girl
1 had ! isM'd by discovering the owner
of the i n. Had it been a cheap article
1 would ! nve had little chance of doiug
so. for t':e giils would all stick together
to keep the sPcrct. I consulted
with m- men cousins, and It was decided
that 1 should put the article up
at auction at the Thanksgiving dinner,
bids to be accepted only from the
men.
Accordingly when the nuts and coffee
came on I too!; the pin out of my
vest porket and. holding It up before
the company, said:
"I l'onnd this article receutly and
would be happy to return It to the
owner if she will claim it and prove
ownership."
I swept the board with my glance,
but saw no sign of a giveaway on any
girl's face.
None of them claimed the find. Then |
1 t'UIIUUUt'U.
"Since there Is 110 claimant for the
article I will put It up at nuctiou, reserving
the right to bid to the men
present of my own generation, the
proceeds of the sale to go to charity."
The girls looked at one another curiously.
not knowing what was corning.
I called for bids, and one of my cousins.
Jack Somers. bid 25 cents. There was
an exclamation of disapprobation for
such an offer, and when another of my
confederates bid 50 cents it was repeated.
The gem alone could not have
been worth less than $25. When every
man who was permitted to bid had
done so $2.75 was the highest offer received.
I knocked the article down to the successful
man. Jim Atwood. and he handed
me the money. While pretending
to be interested in the payment I was
keeping one eye on the girls, hoping to
see some sign of protest against her
property being sold out in this way
ueiore ner iuce. una it not Deen ror
Jim's assistance I should not have been
successful In my came.
"What luck!" he exclaimed, holding
the pin before him admiringly. "I've
wanted something like this for a
gift to my fiancee, and now I have
found it"
The fact of another girl possessing
her jewelry was too much for its owner.
Becky Aldrich showed by her expression
that she was at least to, be

suspected. I took the pin from Jim
and tossed It to her. A telltale blush
confirmed my suspicion, and, the eyes
of nil the company being concentrated
on Becky, it deepened into scarlet.
Then there was a burst of laughter, in
which every one Joined heartily but
Becky
This, it seemed to me. was a famous
victory, but there is a saying "He who

tondt-d to be very much offended with
me for the eonrse I had taken. This
caused me to feel uncomfortable, and
I endeavored to placate her. Placating
n girl Is a dangerous business
Becky for n long while refused to be
appeased.
I tried presenting flowers, but they
were accepted coldly. Then I suggested
that a mate to the pin which had
made all the trouble would look very
well beside It. Becky pretended to be
still more offended that I should oCTei
her Jewelry and would not accept the
excuse that I was her cousin.
To make a long story short. Becky
played me as an angler would play a
trout till 1 was madly In love with her
Having refused me. she seemed to be
satisfied and thereafter treated me se
considerately that 1 tried again and
was successful. Naturally the annl
versarr of Thanksgiving brings to m<
Interesting memories.

The Duke of Wellington had the
greatest difficulty In preventing infor

peninsular war. He was forced to Is
sue the sternest orders and lake very
severe measures to stop them, making
it punishable with death.
At one time things came to such a
pass that the duke's soldiers and the
French spent hours on end sitting
round one another's camplires sharing
their rations and playing cards to
