TurKeys and
Cranberries
By Justin Went wood
(©, 1921, Western Newspaper Union.)
fND I won’t get that raise ai
the end of the year, so 1
guess it’s no use hoping tc
be married for a long time*
Luella, and If you want 11
Til release you. I can’l
hold you forever.”
Standing In the doorwaj
of the little farmhouse, Luella read
the last words of her lover’s letter and
smiled. Things were not quite so bad
as Jim made out. And anyway Jim
had promised to come up and stay
with her mother and herself over
Christmaa
Jim and Luella had been neighbors
for as many years as they could re
member, and always acknowledged
sweethearts. But when Jim’s father
died the little farm had had to be given
up. It was In a swampy district that
would grow nothing till It was properly
drained. Jim’s father had hung on by
the skin of his teeth while the drains
choked and the land became water
logged; then he died. Jim went to
the city and got a clerical position.
Luella’s father had been in business
In the town, Luella was secretary to
the banker there. When Jim went to
the city she rented the little farm
mmm

from him. “Guess you can’t sell it till
it’s drained, Jim,” she said, “and
mother can’t bear the noise of town.”
Jim wanted Luella to occupy the
little place rent free. He was really
ashamed to rent it, for the house was
falling to pieces, the roof leaked, and
it wanted plastering. And then the
land—that was hopeless.
Twenty acres of good farming land
run to bog and overgrown with marsh
plants I It had reverted to the wild
with a vengeance. Luella and her
mother must be crazy to take up their
residence in such a location.
Luella insisted on Jim’s taking rent.
When he persisted in his refusal, she
said she would put the house In order
instead. She did.
Jim was amazed when he returned
for his first visit that Christmas. The
house had been repainted and plas
tered, the leak stopped in the roof;
it looked neat and trim, and Luella
was raising chickens, geese and tur
keys, too. The land made a fine run
for them, though the young turkeys
had to be kept off the wet places.
“Guess I’ll soon be able to retire and
take up poultry raising, Jim, dear,”
Luella smiled.
They were very happy that visit,
for in another year Jim hoped to be
making enough to be able to ask Luella
to marry him. But the business de
pression grew worse instead of better,
and Jim’s letters became more and
more hopeless, culminating in the offer
of release.
It was strange how Luella went
about with a smile on her lips as the
days grew shorter. Luella was twenty
five, Jim nearly thirty. They had been
definitely engaged four years.
“Tomorrow’s Christmas!” Luella
cried, dancing about the parlor. “Put
on the turkey, mother!”
“I declare, child, you’re acting like
a wild thing,” her mother admonished
her.
“Oh, mother, dear, what will Jim say
when he knows? Don’t you breathe a
word! I’m going to the station to
meet him.”
Jim stared at the smart motorcar
that drew up before the depot. No
flivver, this! He stared still more at
the smartly garbed young woman who
stepped out of it and llung her arms
round his neck In the sight of every
body.
“Luella, what’s happened? Have
you become a millionaire?”
“You wait, Jim!”
When Jim reached ouse, he saw
that a wing had been added since his
departure. There w ’•eal silver on
the dining table. Ai e turkey was
a perfect monster.
“How do you like the turkey, Jim?”
“Fine, Luella.’.*
“And the—the cranberries?”
“Why, they’re very good cranber
ries,” said Jim.
“Is that all, Jim?’’ There was a
little quiver of her lips.
“Why, dearest, they’re splendid cran
berries.”
It was after dinner that she an
swered his inquiries. “Why, you see.
Jim, most of the turkeys died, and It
was so dreadful, all my hopes of a
fortune going In that way. It was the
marsh that killed them.”
“Nothing will live on that land, not
even turkeys,” declared Jim.
“So I determined something should
live on the marsh, and as the turkeys
died I—l planted cranberries, Jim.
Oh, Jim, do you know we’ve got the
best cranberry bog in this county?
And I’ve got fifteen hundred in 'he
bank, and—oh, Jim, I want you to stay
now, and we’ll be the cranberry king
And queen of the county!”

Waters of Lake.

Mrs. Bullock, housekeeper for the
Mullers, fell into the lake while fish

; the parrot excitedly repeated the calls
with such effect that the men respond

into their midst.
“Who are you?” came a chorus of

“I am the Star of Bethlehem,” was

The other stars had never heard of
