young captain, who had left his ship in the

one of the principal merchants In Boston.
andth new only four or five and
twenty had been for eight years at son.
He had gone to England at Ill for his edit

on a vessel bound for the Indies.
At first the father had been very angry,
but finding the son able to help himself,
and that he was already second amour on

ship built for him and provided him with
capital enough to fill her with merchandise

brought letters to Mr. Weatheringfleld.
but in such a place at such a time any edu’
outed stranger was more than welcome.
How much more this young fellow who
had been round the world, had seen
strange lands and sailed on unknown seas.

this youth was named Paul Marsdon you
will gum half my story, as it was my ty-

belonged originally to her family.
To Priscilla’s father and mother it came
like a blow that their baby girl was a young
woman. They had been loving her and ad-
miring her for so long that it had never oc~
curred to them that some one else might
love her; that she had come to an age at
which she might be wooed and wed.
It was the old story. Her "Prince Charm-
ing” had come, and before he left it was ar—
ranged that he should return in a month
and take father, mother rind daughter brick
with him to Boston. which the elders had
not seen for nearly ‘10 years. As for the
daughter. sho had never been 10 miles away
from her childhood home.
Weatheringflcld was more than well todo.
His father had died and left him his heir.

voyage to England.
soon as she had gone the father and
mother sadly returned to the home they
had planted In the wilderness. feeling that
the light of that home had vanished.
Months before any word came
from Priscilla. Letters from beyond the

To their surprise. hardly a fortnight after
the receipt of the first there come another
epistle, this time dated from Boston. and
sent express across the country by a friend-

both joy and dread to that tender heart.

Thanksgiving day! What memories as
conjured up by the simple naming of this
day of festivity! it is an offspring of early
New England, and it In still Xew England's
own day of rejoicing. instituted undernou-
ditionn which We. in our days of self seeks
lag and of lenteous ease. rarely attempt
to pause nru contemplaatc.
The history of Thanksgiving day reaches
back to the earlier colonial days, when a
little band of strong hearted, earnest men
and women who had. ventured across the
sees in search of froodmu of life and liberty,
of conscience were knowing the suffering
which is so generally a part of pioneer life.
Their hearts were filled with a new hope
and thrilling with a deep joy. and their
hands were steadfastly set to the plow of
courageous advancement. ,
Though they were suffering from the rig-
our of a new clime. with insufficient means
of protection from its severity. even though
they were suffering from severe privations,
yet they were not cast. down nor discour-
They were largely cut of! from coinmunb
cation with oil the civilized world, they
had the deep. wide, restlessly pulsating
sea humming them in on one side, and the

savages of whom they stood in unoeaslng
dread and fear. Added to all these was
the appalling fact that their provisions had
run low and their expected ships of relief
