CHAPTER X. 
“ Open, Sesame ! and the rock it opened." 
Thanksgiving Morning in New England! Not 
such a bleak, desolate morning as sometimes comes, 
even on festal days, when tlio brown earth lic-s bare 
and naked in the cold, but everywhere, on every¬ 
thing, a deep, pure covering of snow; almost track¬ 
less, save hero and there where the little barefooted 
snow-birds bad marked curious patterns with their 
the magical piece in her hand." “I’ve got it! Oh, 
I’ve got it," she shouted, “all my wishes, and we 
shall all be so glad." 
“ Wbat shall we be glad for?” asked her father. 
“Oh I’d rather not tell you now. 1 want to wait 
and see if it really comes true. A buy says there’s 
nothing at all in wish-bones, but I hope there will be 
in this," and Jenny applied herself very contentedly 
to her breakfast. 
“Margaret,” said Fred, at last, leaning back in 
his chair, “ what time shall we have dinner at 
grandpa's?" 
“About two or three o’clock, I presume," said 
Margaret, not quite understanding the drift of the 
qnestion. 
“Do you think I shall be hungry again by that 
time,” queried Fred, folding his bands in a very sug¬ 
gestive manner over his jacket, and looking despair¬ 
ingly at bis sister. 
“Judging from all past experience, I think you 
will," replied Margaret, laughing. 
“ By the way, Margaret,” said Mr. Newman, sud¬ 
denly, “1 suppose you attended to those packages 
that Jous brought from town last night.” 
“ He brought nothing hot the books and paper.” 
“Nothing! qre you sure?” . 
“ Perfectly sure, for I stood at the door as he drove 
up, and took them from his hands. 1 asked if there 
was anything else, and lie said ‘nothing more, Miss.’” 
“That is too vexations,” said Mr. Newman, impa-

Makgaket had shut the door in her own gentle way, 
smoothed down the rug, which tho hurrying feet had 
disturbed, and while her lather waa looking fondly 
into their happy faces, her skillful fingers had settled 
Feed’s refractory collar, and pulled Jenny’s night¬ 
cap out of her apron pocket, whore she had thrust it 
in her haste. 
It was always Margaret who did such things for 
everybody, but they were all so used to her care¬ 
taking that they hardly thought about it. “ It was 
Margaret's uay, v licr father said; “there was some 
magic, about her, for she always did just the right 
thing at the right time.” 
The family were all together, so they seated them¬ 
selves at the table. They were all together, and yet 
it seemed hard to say it that Thanksgiving morning, 
for there had been a time, only a few years before, 
when they would still have been waiting for some¬ 
body. Waiting to bear a slow, soft step upon the 
stair, and to see a pale, delicate woman enter, with a 
sweet good morning for all. Waiting to see a little 
child, a goldcn-hcaded, dancing thing, come totter¬ 
ing in with the half-spoken words and winsome ways 
of babyhood. There was a vacant place at. the table, 
and a little empty chair in the corner, that seemed to 
be always waiting too; but they never came, and 
never would come any more; so with an involuntary 
glance toward the door, and a half sigh, Mr. Newman 
turned to the bountifully laden table. 
“ We certainly have a great deal to be thankful 
for," said he, more cheerfully, looking at Margaret’s 
tender eyes, overflowing with love and sympathy, as 
her quick heart took iu the thought that, had prompted 
her father’s sigh; and then at the merry children, too 
full of unmixed glee to dream of such a thing as 
sorrow. 
“Father,” said little Jenny, “ why don't you ask 
me what part of the chicken I perfer, just as you do 
Margaret?” 
“So 1 will, Jenny,” said Mr. Newman, smiling, 
“ now what do you choose?” 
“Oh, I perfer one part just as well as another,” 
said Jenny, gravely, “only I should like the wish¬ 
bone, if you please." 
“Here it, is for you,” said her father, “only you 
must promise to break it with me.” 
“ Must I tell you what I wish about?” 
“ Not unless you please." 
“Margaret." said tbe little maiden, “ do people 
ever wisli more than one wish to a wish-hone?" 
“ 1 don’t know," said Margaret, “ I should think 
you could if you chose?" 
“ How many, Margaret, — should you think three 
would be too many?” ami Jenny’s round eyes looked 
very anxiously in ber sister’s face. 
“No; I think three would do very well." 
“ Well, then father, I’m ready to pull now. You 
see I want three things so much I don't know which 
to choose, so I shall wish them all;" and the child 
grasped the bone very tightly with her plump little 
fingers, and prepared for a desperate pull. The bone 
fnl. I felt powerful bad about it, so I jest got up 
about three o'clock this morning, and hitched up the 
black mare, and went down after the traps. I've jest 
got back this minute." 
“ And you took that long, cold ride while we were 
all asleep,” said Mr. Newman, with a feeling of con¬ 
demnation, as he thought of his hasty words. “I 
declare it was too had.” 
“Oh, its no manner of ’count about me, ’Squire. 
Maybe it will cure me of being so forgetful, and then 
I couldn’t sleep no way, so it was just as well to be 
up — better too; a man would go crazy, I reckon, 
that hadn’t anything to do hut think about trouble.” 
John looked despondingly into the fire, and seemed 
to be talking more to himself than any one else. 
“Your wife is well, I hope, John ?’’ said Mr. New¬ 
man, anxious to find out the cause of his trouble, yet 
not knowing exactly how to do it. 
“ Oh, yes, she’s well,” said John, “ and the child¬ 
ren too. I Vpo.se 1 ought to bo thankful for that; 
but then there’s worse things than sickness. Fra 
thinking, or death either;” and he dropped his voice 
again, and looked into the fire as if he hoped to find 
some comfort there. In a moment more he went on, 
addressing himself this time to Margaret. 
“May be you didu’t know, Miss, about my little 
girl that had such dreadful fits last spring. 1 forget 
what tbe doctor called ’em, some long name or other. 
The last one she had lasted so long we thought she 
never would come out of it; and my poor wife was 
taking on dreadfully, and praying that she might 
only live. The Doctor spoke up kind of sudden, and 
says he, * Don't pray for that, ma'am, she'd a great 
deal better die,' 
“ IVe didn't think much about it then, for we were 
so glad when the poor tiling opened her eyes and 
smiled again. But a few days afterwards, when I was 
holding her in my arms, ] thought about the Doctor’s 
words and wondered what he meant. 1‘vo never had 
the heart to ask him ; but I've watched the child ever 
since, and I’ve come to know what he meant, uud to 
see that it is true, uud that my little girl will he — 
is a—.” He fairly broke down here, and pulled at 
his great woolen tippet as if it choked him. He 
eould not say that dreadful word about his little 
girl. 
Jenny stood looking at him, with her black eyes 
full of tears of pity for the sorrow she could not at all 
comprehend. Mr. Newman paced tbe room and bit 
his lips; but Margaret, with more compassion in 
her face than words could speak, went up to him as tie 
sat bowed over, aud laying ber hand on bis shoulder 
said pityingly, 
“ Ob, John ! is it so bad as that?” 
“Just as bad ns that, Miss,” said John; and, not 
trusting himself for another word, be picked up his 
cap from the lloor, pulled it down over his eyes, aud 
went hastily out. 
“Stop a moment, John,” said Margaret, stepping 
into the hall after him, “here are some cakes and
