'At the other end a splendid turkey fit for kins; reared Its proud breast and a dtstractlngly appetising odor of mingled union, safe, chestnut and apple Issued therefrom at the. first plunge of Aant Flhody's knife.

The captain sat moodily before his cold meat wind bread and tea, and as before excused himself early, while yet Charltis was filling the honey-comb holes oft crisp hat-waffles with marmalade.

Tnat evening the next day's feast was planned before bed time, the mojt expensive and best things ever hung and displayed In a market being se-lireted by John dear, and flutterlngly Kcepted with gentle protest by Aunt hhody. whose artistic soul was aflame with ambition. The marvels that sh filled her nephew with unholy Joy. and the last remalna of the turkey pressed cold Into a beautiful Jeiiy were worthy of association with the first choice morsels of the bird. It waa on the third day of the new regimen, that the first indication Litlir-ate victory came to gladden the of Charltis and olift a llttl frrm the soul of Aunt Rhody, the doubt Hn fear that had begun to possess hr after the second day of un-suc en fu1 operationa.

"What's the matter with Captain Asa 7" was the first remark from Bill Anderson, as ne lo'tod the barrel Into place and turned his red cheerful face toward Aunt Rhody. "A In you feeding him enough? I should say front the orders we've been getting down to thu store, he'd been living pretty high." John Charltis sprang from hia chair where he had been sitting, talking to Aunt Rhody and petting the cat the while she cut potatoes Into small round balls, and dropped them with a plop Into cold water. "What do you mean?" he said, as the cat fell to the floor "Why, a I was coming by the Harboro' Arms." said Hill Anderson alowly.

John Charitla also teamed through his valuable ally 6f tha captain frequent appearance In tha Harboro Arms, for though tha captain strove conceal himself, nothing elude th piercing eye of a country-bred gossip.

And Bill Anderson could pry unmolested wher Charitla would Immediately have been challenged. On week had Charitla planned to remain In the garden of heart desire. If It la true that the way to a man's heart via his stomach, but the lge had been unsuccessful In spite of the repogUd sign of weakening and ohn dear was not th man to withdraw when success lured him and Aunt to persevere. But "on tha eighth day did th town fall. Captain Asa Oaynor had don hlf beat disregard the longing that assailed him, when on his every entering of the house, warm soft smells of delicious culinary blisses filled his nostrils.

But he found to hi chagrin that one waa often times hungry for turkey after having eaten corned beef, and hi appetite, which he had believed to be subdued to a more mechanical rmelnder of need of fuel, (was still to be stirred to Irresistible fury of desire for some particular viand. Rather than to acknowledge to Charltis. however, that he had underestimated the simple pleasures of the table and overestimated his superiority to their allurements, he had at last gone into that dark and unattractive "eating room" at the Harhore Arms, and sent up a despairing cry for turkey, turkey whose tender brown and wtlte slices and whose spicy smell had driven him so near defeat at his own table. The turkey at the Harboro" Arms wss tough and stringy, and the dressing wss dry and tasteless. But he at It voraclosly, nevertheless, as if to queel Ither by surfeit or disappointment the clamorous desire within him.

The Inefflcacy of this proceedure became apparent when the silenced longing revived at hla own, table, louder and more Insistent then ever, for "some turkey." not the dry fibrous turkey of the Harboro' Arms, but some of those dellcare morsels of Aunt Rhody seclected to heap upon the plate of John dear. He had come back again and again to the Harboro' Arms, however, as Bill Anderson faithfully reported, to fortify himself against the insinuating allurements of the odors In his ow kitchen. All the youthful hungry love of good things rose up in htm and conquered the meanness of later mistaken years. The wood) an anpatal able product served as turkey In the puldic Inn. failed to quench the fire It had not originated, and he knew that the food he carved would not quench but feed the flame On the eighth day the old order rhanged In the bouse of Oaynor.

Aunt Rhody and John dear beheld the figure of victory stalking In at the gate, and the figure bore a remarkable resemblance to Captain Asa. borne down by the weight of a heavy basket. John dear clasped Aunt Hhody a triumphal and congratulatory' embrace as they waited for him to come In. "You're gcdng to be a heap sight happier after this!" he said "You're born cook and a diet of cold corned beef Is to you as air to a fish." He released her. as the captain came Slowly Into the kitchen.

Captain Asa Oaynor put down the basket ouletly. From one end the yellow legs of a mammoth turkey "helplessly protruded. "Rhody." said the captain, "there's a basket of truck for dinner" He cleared his throat and hesitated. "1 reckon I've been close snd stingy some with you. but It won't be so no more John Chsrltls heard a Utile sob from Aunt Rhody and prompt!) turned away.

There was a bit of a sl'em-e and then the captain said with a humorous spreclation his own position, that did him vast credit, "and If It's quite convenient fen you. Rhody, my dear, we might have dinner a earlier today." "Hurray for you." cried John dear turning about. "Come, have a smoke r. -n fs rrr. i luLJAi Pacific Coast Lumber and Mill Co.
