By O. HENRY. [Copyright. l»0S. by the & S. McClare Co.) THERE is one day that is ours. There is one day when all we Americans who are not self made go back tri the old home to eat ealeratns biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump loots than it used to. Bless the day! President Roosevelt gives It to us. We hear some talk of the Puritans, hot don't Just remember who they were. But be can lick 'em, anyhow. If they try to land again. Plymouth ltocks 7 Well that sounds more familiar. Lots of us have had to comb down to hens since the turkey 'trust got its work In. Bet somebody id • Washington i» leaking out advance Information to 'em about these Thanksgirl ng proclamations. The big city east of the cranberry l»ogs has made Tbankeglving day au | institution. Tbe lost Thursday In Noj vember Is the only day In tbe year on 1 which It recognizes the part of Amerljga lying across the ferries. It is the ' one day that is purely American— yes a day of celebration, exclusively Ameri lean*.— T--And now for tbe story which Is to ; prove to yon that we have traditions i on this Side of tbe ocean that are be- ' coming older at a much rapider rate ) than those of "England are— thanks to our "git-up" and enterprise. , Study Pete, took bis seat on the third bench to tbe right as you enter Union square from the east, at the walk opposite tbe fountain. Every . Thanksgiving day for nine years be had taken bis sent there promptly at 1 • o'clock, for every time he had done so thiugs had happened to hlin— Charles Uiekensy things that swelled his waistcoat above his heart and equally on the other side. i But today Stuffy Pete's np|*u ranee at the annual trystinc place seemed to j have been rather the result of habit than of tbe yearly hunger which, as I . the -philanthropists seem to. tlilnk, nf- ' ; diets the poor at surli extended inter"1 vals. - Certainly Pete was not hungry He '■ i had just come from a feast that hail | left him of his powers barely those of , respiration and locomotion. His eyes . i were like two pale gooseberries firmly i i imbedded in a swollen and gravy ' smeared mask of putty. His breath ! came In short wheezes. A senatorial roll of adipose tissue denied a fasbiou- ' able set to his upturned coat collar ! Buttons that bad been sewed upon his . clothes by kind Salvation fingers a week before flew like popcorn, strewi ing tbe earth around him. Ragged be i j was. with a split shirt frout open to ' j the wishbone. But the November I breeze. carrying fine snowflakes. ' brought hlm'only a grateful coolness. . j for Stuffy Pete was overchargeiUwlth • the caloric produced by a soperbonutl1 1 ful dinner, beginniug with oysters and - ending with plum pudding and ini ! eluding, it seemed to bim. all the ' | roast turkey and baked potatoes and ! i chicken salnd'and squash pip auil lee. ' cream of the world, wherefore he sat. ' i gorged, and gazed upon tbe world with . ! nfter dinner contempti The meal had been an unexpected i one. He was passing a red brick manI slon near tbe beginning of Fifth avenue. In wbiefc lived two old ladies of '.i ancient family and a reverence for j traditions. They even dhnied tbe existence of New York and believed that Thanksgiving day was declared solely : for Washington square. One of their , traditional habita was to station a ■ servant at the postern gate with orders ■ to admit t lie first hungry wayfarer that <-n me along nfter the hour of noon had struck anil !>-■ liquet him to a fin aeneachals gathered him In and opI held (he custom of the ntsric 1 After gtnffy Pete had gazed straight ) before him for ten minutes he «u | conscious of u desire for a more varied i field of vision AVith « rremendous ] effort he moved hi? laaid slowly to the i left. And then his eyes bulged out I fearfully, and his hmitb ceased, and , the roughshod euds of bis short legs I For the old gentleman was coming I across Fourth avenue toward his i Every Thanksgiving day for nine yeurs the old gentleman had come there and found Stuffy Pete on bis ' bench. That w*» a thing that the old | gentleman was trying to make a tradi- i tiqn of. Every Thanksgiving day fori | nine years he had found Stuffy there [ ' and had ted htm to a restaurant audi watched itlm eat a big dinner. They doj 1 those things in England unconsciously. 1 -i But this is a young country, and nine1 years Is not so bad. ®c old gentleman was a stanch American patriot, and considered himself a pioneer in i ; come picturesque wetnust keep .-m 1 doing one thing for albug rime with- 1 ' out ever letting it get away from us. j something .like collecting tile weekly , dimes in industrial insurance or clean- | ! ing tbe streets. The old gentleman uioved straight , | and stately toward the Institution that j ! he was rearing. Truly the annual feed- . ! Ing of Stuffy Pete was nothing na- ' ! tlonn! in Its character such as the; . j Magna < ."hart a or Jam ffr breakfast j . i was In Rnglufid. but ft was a step It. • J was klmost feudal. It showed at le.-isj j that k custom w»* not Impossible to j 1 New Jr— ahein!— America . Tb# old gentleman was, thin and tall, and /ixty. He was' dressed all in Ifinok.. and I wore t,he old fashioned kind of. gln.-ies that won't stay on your %osc- j ui.lhitr vu whiter and thinner lb-*-

As his estihillsbed benefactor came , np Stuffy wheezed and ahnddered like some woman'* orarfar pug when a , ;-;roet dog bristle* ap at Mm. He ! would have flown, but all tbe skill of j Santos- Dumont could not have acgMt-j rated Mm from his ben«h. Well badi the raynnldoni of the two old ladles j , dope their work. * _ - . A, . "Good morning." said the old gentle- . \ man. "l am glad to perceive that the , vicissitudes of,-, another year bave [ 'spared you to move in health about tbr . I beautlfnl world, for that blessing trlooej ' i this day of ♦htp-tslTlss is Trell ?go-l- , claimed to each of urn. if yon will . crime with me. my man. I will provide L , yoo with a dinner that should make ' your physical being accord with the , mental." " . That la what the old gentleman said ( every time —every Thanksgiving day ; for nine years. Tbe words themselvetj ' [ almost formed an Institution. Nothing could be compared with them gxeept the Declaration of Independence. A1 ways before they had been music in] Stuffy's ears. But now he looked up t at tbe old gentlemsn's face with tearful agony In his own. The fine snow al | , roost sizzled when It fell upon his per spiring brow. But the old gentleman I , shivered a, little. and turned his back] to the wind. stuffy had always wondered why the! okl gentleman spoke his speech rather j , sadly. He did not know that it was be j , cause he was wishing every time that lie had a son to succeed him— a sfp who j . would come there after be .was gone, a , sob who would stand proud and strong) before some subsequent Stuffy, and . say. " In memory of my father." Then ! It would bean institution. But tbe old gentleman had no relatives. He lived In rented rooms in one . of the decayed old family brownstoae ! mansions In one of the" quiet streets | , east or the park. In the winter he; . raised fuchsias lb a little conservatory j the size of a steamer trunk.' In the! i spring be walked in the Easter parade, i ; In the summer he lived at a farmhouse i In the New Jersey Ujlls and sat in p ' \ wicker armchair, speaking of a butter- i t fly. the OroUhoptern ainphrisins. that , he hoped to find some day. Ill the autumn he f«l StnJTy a dinner. These were the old gentleman's oocnpntlons. Stuffy _Peto looked tn» at hlni for a : . half ntlnnto. stewing an.) helpless in f The old gentleman wax coming <u-m*r r Fourth avenue his own self pity. The old geulletuan's ' eyes were bright with tbe giving plrali- j ' ure Hl» face *ai getting more lined j r each year, but his little black necktie j 1 was In as jaunty a bow as ever, and | ' his linen was beautiful ami white, and I r his gray mustache was curled esre- j ' fully at the ends. And then stuffy i made a noise that sounded like pea< ' bubbling in a pot. Speech was intend - ed. and as the old gentleman bad 1 heard the sounds -«1ne times before be rightly construed them Into Stuffy's old 1 formula of acceptanee. ' _ "Thankee, sir. I'll go with ye. an J a much obliged. I'm very hungry, sir." 9 The coma of repletion had not pree venled from enteriug Stuffy's mind 1 the •-onvtctiOD thnt he wa^ the basic. '' or an insUtntion. His Tl^ k (.giving , 8 appetite was not his own. It belonged : by all the sacred rights of established . 6 custom, if not by the :u ltia! statute of I 8 limitations, to this kind oid gentleman who had pre-empted it True. America e Is free But in order to establish tra- * dition some one ruusi lie a repeteud— 9 a repeating decimal The heroes are . ^ not all heroes of steel and gold.

Stuffy north. 1 and fiiood for one minute. Than ha . ■ ' useemed to puff out his rags as an owl puffs out bis feathers and fell to fin ! sidewalk like a sun stricken horse. When tbe ambulance 'came, the '| young surgeon and tbe driver cursed j softly at his weight There was no smell of whisky to Justify a trmasfer to ' the patrol wagon, so Stuffy and bta 'j two, dinners went to tbe hospital.
