BETTY ' S THANKSGIVING. Lillian Larsen. OULD there ever come a time when there would be no war? When everyone would love his neighbor again? Betty Carr heaved a sigh as she closed the book she had been reading and gazed absently into the roaring fire. In these terrible times brother fought against brother, and father against son. Betty had been engaged to Lieutenant Warren, a northerner, but when the war broke out he had gone North to take command of his regiment. As Betty ' s father was a colonel in the Southern army, and a true, loyal Southerner, he was bitterly opposed to the engagement. Thus it was that Betty had sent the little ring back with a formal note of explanation. And the day after tomorrow was Thanksgiving. What a lonely one it would be! Her father w as stationed some twelve or fourteen miles away. There would be no one there with her but her old colored mammy. Suddenly she started up as if a bright idea had struck her. Oh ! Aunt Sally, I am going to fix up a tempting dinner, although we haven ' t much, and spend my Thanksgiving with father. ' ' Why honey, am you done gone crazy, don ' t you know you all have to pass de Yankee lines? Why chile, de ole skunks would shoot you jes as soon as look at you, ex- postulated the old darky. But I have fully made up my mind to go, so just come with me and help me prepare the dinner, said Bci ' she led the unwilling servant into the kitchen. But how am you all goin ' to get there, chile? ques- tioned Aunt Sally, as she hustled about the kitchen. Well, I am going with the Morrisons and their family in the wagon. They are going more than half way, then you see, mammy, I can walk the rest of the way, and I shall be awful careful when I pass the Northern lino, smiled 78
