"Thankful indeed!" muttered Martha again after Mrs. Loyd had left the room. "1 declare! Sometimes I think if I was a man I'd swear!" She blushed after that remark and hid her thin face In her hands.

She arose and paced her half of the square room. "I hate this old place?1 hste this home!" she said between her clenched teeth. Mrs. Loyd, who was now standing In the doorway, heard her and drew her mouth in sudden dismay. "I'd be afraid to say that. Mrs Butterworth. It's flying in the face of Providence to say such things.

Martha noddid "If 1 do. your sister can have my membership." "Oh. oh." j-ried Mrs. Loyd delighted ly. "that Is good of you. Martha Butterworth If you don't change your mind Hannah will spend the best Thanksgiving she ever had!" "I shan't change my mind." said' Martha decidedly.
