I had my back to him at the time, and I never knew what struck me." "But how could you recover from so fearful an injury?" I questioned.

The supplies required at St. John were now furnished by his brother, Samuel Gardiner Jarvis, of Boston. As will presently appear, fortune did not smile upon the removal of William Hazen and his family from their comfortable home in Newburyport to the rugged hillsides of St. John. However, Mr.

Thanksgiving, commonly regarded as being from its earliest beginning a distinctive New England festival, and an equally characteristic Puritan holiday, was originally neither. The first New England Thanksgiving was not observed by either Plymouth Pilgrim or Boston Puritan.

"Which is where I think you're wise," approved the doctor. Pollyanna was told the next day; and this was the manner of it.

But Mrs. Carew, a dear friend of Dr.

More Cossacks!" The cry was taken up by Canadians, Italians, Belgians, Poles, Slovaks, Jews, and Syrians. The drums grew louder, the pressure from the rear was relaxed, the throng in Faber Street began a retreat in the direction of the power plant.
