habit of saying, whenever

no patience with any kind of a moto:
vehicle.
As time went on, and many of hif
neighbors bought automobiles, his
horses became wonted to them am? j
turned never a hair when they whine,
by; but the good deacon did not re
lent. Whenever one passed h*m or
the road, throwing, perhaps, a ahowe-
of dust or mud upon his modest car
r'.z-ne. and leaving behind it a tra:
of ill-odor, he would mutter i under hi-
breath I words which no good deacoz.
should ever, ever use.
The deacon and his wife fcrew old |
and their six children all married, ex
cepting Rhoda, the youngest, wb<
steved at home to take cars of then;
The four sons were prosperous. an'
the older daughter had married a verj
rich man and lived one hundred or
more miles away. Two sous had be
come farmers and lived quite near.
One waa a merchant in a large town
perhaps fifty miles distant. The fourth
one was a minister, settled in the
same town with the merchant brother
To the infinite disgust of Deacon
f nipps, all of these sons, excepting
the minister, owned automobiles, and
Thomas, the merchant, actually sport
ed three or four. When his fsther
found this out. he came almost to the
point of breaking off relations with
Thoraa".
In the old days, the family had
used to sather on the day before
Thanksgiving, and the large, airy
chambers of the ample Phipps home-
stead could accommodate them all.
Now the children and the grandchii
: dren had increased in number, unti.
such gatherings were no longer po?
j Bible. 1 be uncles and aunts had died
or had become infirm. There had
been some pretty lonely Thanksgiv
ings at the hospitable Phipps farm.
It was during the week before thr
great day that Deacon Phipps was sit
ting before the open fire in his' big.
comfortable sittingroom. and ponder-
ing over this melancholy fact.
" Tain't right." he grumbled to his
gentle wife, who sat knitting beside
him. " 'Tain't right to have families
scattered so at Thanksgiving. I wish
we could get our folks all together
Susan. Just once more. Here you an
I are vergin' onto eighty, an' we hain't
had our folks all together for goin' on
ten year now. Here's this great house
dinin' room fit to seat thirty, an' this
room to spill over into for as many
more, and countln' Sister Judy an
Brother Ben. all the sister an' brotliei
we've got left, bless 'em!—except Bet
ty. an' she's tied to the house by her
broken hip. an' always will be. it's
ikely—all pet together they or.lj
count up forty-oo®, but we can't get
"em together.
"Well," he Bused on, "well try t<
S#t a dozen or so of em an* call it (
faaflly party, but you an' I an' Rhody
an' the help are strong an' hearty, an
could take care of 'em all, if they
would only come. But 1 don't see any
way."
"No," there isn't any way," sighed
his good wife, "but you hadn't oughtei
complain, Silas Ye've got a sight o
blessin's. an' we'd oughter think o'
those we've got an' not hanker after
those we can t have. Which was good
doctrine, though it could not quite
■top the deacon's grumbling.
Miss Kborfa Phipps was quite equal
to the task of taking cace.of the old
people. A strong woman helped het
in the kitchen, and there were neigh
bors near by who were ready to do
extra work. Job. the good middle
aged -man who had taken care of the
horses for many a year, was no mean
hand at household as well as stable
service, and at this special Thanks
giving season Hiss Rhoda kept them
all busy until the pantries were piled
thick, with dainties. Mrs. Phippt
thought that there was too much food
prepared.
"Why. Rhoda. what do we want
with twenty apple pies and six tur
keyB and ten chicken pies and a gal
Ion of cranberry sauce?" she cried
came a great touring car. "The deacon
scowled, but as he heard, first the
s eet Gabriel horn, and then the
rough roar of the Klaxon, his face re-
lax' '! a little. Who were in the car?
It was not the family of son John.
urely it was Thomas and his min-
: ;r brother, with several members of
their families, and Mrs. Phipps fair-
ly cried with joy as she saw them.
'There is another load just behind
us," they shouted, as they drew up be-
fore the door.
"Another load!" There were half
. dozen loads before the final toll was
taken, and when two strong, big
l'fclpps sons lifted out from one of the
cushioned limousints poor, lame old
Aunt Betty, who could not have
dream d of coming in anything except
such a softly padded vehicle, the tears
w-re dropping all over Mother Phipps'
best white lace jabot
Such a Thanksgiving! Every sin-
gle one of the Phipps children and
trandchildren was there! The good
deacon's voice trembled with Joy as
he ked the blessing, and poured out
his thanks before God.
But you know, father," said Thomas
Phipps, slyly, "there are several of us ! , ,

The Way They Stand:
ft
Deacon Phipps Was Restlessly Peer
ing Up the Road.
"We never in the world can eat them
up before they spoil! As near as 1
can make out, there are only aboul
ten coming, anyway."
But Miss Rhoda said she "would
risk It," and laughed her mother bacS
to her post beside the fire.
By ten o'clock Thanksgiving morn
ing the whole farmhouse was ii
speckless order. Aunt Jud'y and Unclt j cantlv,. and then
Ben had promised to come early, and
so had son John and his family. Dea
con Phipps was restlessly peering ui
the road, long before the proper time
and Mrs. Phipps was almost as impa
lit at as he.
Presently over the brow of the hill
a little, but In the face of the loud
merriment which greeted this perfect-
ly true reminder, his few rather growl-
ing remarks could not be heard.
"You know there really isn't much
danger from automobiles nowadays,
father," proceeded Thomas Phipps
diplomatically. "The chauffeurs are
better taught than they used to be,
the machines can be stopped more
easily—oh, in every way they are Im-
proved."
"Improved!" shouted the deacon, un-
able to restrain himself longer. "You
can't pick up a paper without readin'
about some shockin' accident through
carelessly driven automobiles. Im-
proved! They can't be improved.
They are Inventions of the evil one
himself. You can't tell me! T read
the papers."
"Wait a minute, father!" laughed
Thomas, amid the eager looks of all
the others, who were evidently full of
suppressed excitement. "We—well—
we—we feel as though we all wanted
to see more of you and mother than
we have seen lately, but we don't feel
safe to have you traveling around on
the cars any more, and your horses
can't take you as far as most of us
live, so we have clubbed together and
have bought you the strongest and
handsomest limousine car that we
could End. We have put a sum at In-
terest in the bank to pay for the keep-
ing cf It, and we have had Job taught
I how to run it. You know he has been
away a good many afternoons. Well,
lie has been learning how to run a
