Show THE Friday. November 19. 1926 The face was petulant, fond of pleasure, disinclined to count the coat . Caleb idly fancied that the eye held possibilities of storm that would be mora than Just a rain of tears on occasion, that the mouth could become hard and sullen If Its owner were crossed. He had breakfast alone in the apartment house dining room. It was Sunday. He thought of visiting El Nido but old custom precluded the Idea of a Lord's day social call. He wondered If the public library would be open, thinking that he would like to read up the water history of Golden, of Oakville and Los Angeles, and then he remembered the card In his pocket. The club library should prove adequate. The Altruists was a literary as well as an 'artistic Institution. So he walked down town, to find the place almost deserted.

CHAPTER IV A Continued The dinner was served In one of the private dining rooms of the club, known as the Red room. The guests were those of the luncheon, with the addition of young Cox and Caleb. It ippeared that they had been In some conference that afternoon and that the dinner marked the end of satisfacThe talk was all tory arrangements. of mutual interests. Big Business. It appeared that the afternoon's conference had been caljed In connection with the threat of other Californian cities to wrest from Golden its supremacy as the metropolis of the Pacific coast. The great fire, following the earthquake, had given them opportunity to creep np in population od general progress. Los Angeles was the most formidable competitor, with Oakville, across the bay from Golden, once only thought of as a uburb of the peninsular city but now, aa the actual terminal of transcontinental railroads that ended at deep water, an active rival. With so small a party Caleb was In easy earshot of the conversation. His Interests naturally centered on Wilbur Cox and they quickened at the mention of water supply. "The board of public works will approve the plans for filling the mains with salt water from the bay In case of any big conflagration," said Cox. "That will not only obviate any repetition of disaster through the conduits freaking between here and the reservoirs, as they did In the quake, but will prove a saving." Jack Cox turned back to Caleb. "The governor Insists that the vital thing the matter with Golden's growth Is the question of adequate supply," he raid in an undertone. "Naturally be concentrates on that point." "Is there a shortage?" asked Caleb. "Likely to be, they tell me. Better quiz the governor If you're Interested.

Its resistance to the temblor had been the world talk of engineering. "I shall he glad to come and aee you," he said. "And glad of the chance to see the property. Thank you." "Good ! I shall expect you then. I hope you have enjoyed yourself." Young Cox paired off with his father as the guests dispersed, and Caleb decided to walk home. An attendant gave him an envelope with his coat and hat. It was a card to the club, good for six weeks, applied for by Baxter and countersigned by Wilbur Cox. Caleb slipped it Into his pocket It was late before he gratefully. turned In. Baxter was still out playing his "game." On his mahogany bureau there was ranged a galaxy of youth and beauty, the faces of about a dozen girls the number varied whimsically framed. Baxter styled them the "Gallery of the Three Ps." Past, Present and Possible. "I frame the past in gunmetal," he said, "symbolic of spent ammunition. The present partners in the game smile at you from silver, indicative of fair, untarnished happiness. Those of the future, the possibilities, are hon- - There was no one In the library with Its easy chairs and big tables. Its desks and deep lounge In front of a mammoth fireplace. The walls were lined high with books, well arranged, so that It was little trouble to find what he wanted. Soon he was deep In the history of Golden, with a big map ' of the Bay region close beside him. He went to bed early. Sometime In the night Baxter came home. Caleb found him sleeping the next morning, Ms head tucked on a forearm, handsome but Jaded, settled until noon. Caleb waited until Cox should have had time to answer his mall and then presented himself at the offices of the Crystal Springs company. Cox's greeting was cordial. "Do you mind waiting a few moments?" he asked. He pressed a desk button and a 'young chap entered whom Caleb rated as Cox's secretary. "Send ine a 'stenographer, Harry, will you?" asked Cox. "I hare given you all you can handle and I want to get out some Instructions on that cement matter. The stuff Is far from standard or contract quality." The stenographer entered, a girl, quiet, dressed In a dark business suit, deftly taking the dictation given her by Cox In a low, unhesitating voice. Caleb, looking over an engineering journal, hardly noticed her. "Take this letter," said Cox, then turned to Caleb, as the girl changed a "I find that page in her notebook.

It was said graciously, with a cerL tain air of assurance that Cox would I actually have gone with Caleb if he could have spared the day. "Now, Miss Morgan,? said Cox. "To E. H.

We are anticipating the good fellowship and the prospect of the happy reunions which are accompaniments of this an nual celebration. Perhaps, then, it will not be amiss if we dwell a little upon the deeper significance of Thanksgiving. It Is always an interesting adventure and often profitable to trace a word back to Its derivation, and a very cursory research with the aid of a dictionary will reveal to us the suggestive fact that the words "thanks" and "think" have a common origin. The former. Indeed, is an obsolete form of the latter, and required only In course of time and usage Its special significance of pleased or I grateful thinking. With this In mind we may turn to a passage In the letter which Paul wrote to the Christians In Phtllppl of Macedonia n letter which Is. keyed to a high note of spiritual rejoicing. j and breathes throughout the gladness which should mark the life attuned to the purpose of God.

In his philosophy It was vitally Important that our minds should be octhoughts as these. cupied with sui-He understood, as we are understanding better today, that what Is In a man's thinking will determine the character of his life. He understood, also, that In order to keep one's thinking on a high and wholesome plane there must be effort and discipline. ( It was not easy In Paul's day to do this. The world in which he lived was superficially provocative of much bitter, evil and unclean thought. In a city like Philippi there would be many things happening to the Christian and many things under his observation to evoke thinking on the baser level. Even In this Joyous letter he felt It necessary to warn his friends with tears against those whose "appetites are their god; who glory In their shame, and who are absorbed In earthly matters." It Is not easy In our day to follow Paul's Instruction and example for he practiced splendidly his own teaching.

If you find little of It In your mind today there Is something wrong with your standard of values. Ton are erring In the practice of "appreciation." You have set your heart upon things that are unworthy, temporary, illusory, and they are disappointing you. Take Paul's recipe. Begin to think about all that Is excellent and praiseworthy. Take your mind out of the material shadows and into the aun-ligof God's thought and lore. Make your wants known to Him. The spirit of thanksgiving will enter your eonl. and the "peace of God, so far above any human thought." will come to stnnd "guard" at your . mind's gateht way. Anil so on this Thanksgiving day let all good Americans give thanks In ' to the Pilgrims of Tlymouth for turkey, cranberry aauee. and pumpkin rle; for their heroic struggle for fnedotn. and for their demonstatlon that their new land could be made to yield a living.

Massasolt ir.ay have been a poor uneducated savage, but he and his people had a delightfully simple and fairly efficient agricultural system: Corn in the hill and a climbing bean ; a pumpkin seed every five hill. Massasolt showed the Pilgrim the cranberry growing wild In ' the marshes, and had no difficulty whatever In detnonst rating that roast turkey and cranberry sauce was an unbeatable combination.
