'He knew Cliailie's faults as well as
- ahYbody ; for' the truth was, no one
could livein the house very long with
Charlie and. not know them. He
`loew Charlie's good traits too—for he
lad 'A great many—and often said if he
was ;only cured of some of these faults,
- what a fide man he' would make. He
had thought of it very often since he
came home - from the war, but never as
seriously 'as', he' did now. His book
- dropped doWn, and he, leaned his head
pn his hand, busily thinking; so busi
ly:if:tit ihe eyebrows nearly met over
his nose, and his dog Carlo barked and
frisked away at a great rate before he
noticed him at all.
" ' lijm,mother. to him

for your father lei him go home for a
day or two. So f , after tea you. will
have' plenty of time to walk over
before dirk, if you hurry."
" How big a bundle is there to
carry ?" and Charlie groaned at the
prospect.
"Not very large. Why do you
ask?".
"Because it makes my arm ache.
like fury to lug a great heavy basket
'round. Besides, I promised Frank
'Steele I'd come 'round and play a
.game of ball after tea. A whole lot of
the fellows are going to be there, and
they 'll have a real jolly time. Indeed,
mother, I know they could wait. Until!
morning, and then eTin,A, ,could take
it over."
"Jim won't be back then, Charlie,
for yqu,r. father, told.hjm .he might stay'

" I' am*: sdrpiised* at your,

reasonably, you may - leave' the table,"
:and 'his mother looked Steadilfutiiim.
Uncle Fred hadn't spoken before.
Indeed, Charlie ;was, so , busy' with his
complaints he had forgotten he `was
there for the truth, was he stood a
good - deal in awe of, him,. ge.oploited
up, and looked sheepish ,enough as
Coldnel Spencer , said, pleasantly :
"Chartes, did` you ever think hOwl

" Yes ; and it's one of. theularcle,st*

this very war—the giving, up of their'

that being a hero, isn't simply.wearing

and haying a fuss made over you.."
• .A.s, .Charlie, „recognized. his I,own
words,,he blushed: , scarlet,. for .in his
heart he ha,d..,;a •great deal, rather not
,have 'had Colonel -Spencer' hear his
silly speeches;; a,' look , at his ,kind
face somewhat reassured him, and.-he
said more boldly :
But ; Uncle. Fred, you know , it's a
very different thing to:obey. owlets • - to
go into battle, with the drumsobeating,
and. the cannon firing, 'from 'what it' is
to do just what you tare , told to °do« at
home.' That'S the kind-of a, hero I'd.
like to'make," and Chailie'spOke in a,
very, determined 'Manner,•for ''he saw
.Callie's :eyes Sparkling, and he knew,
by 'the way' she looked 'at' 'Colonel
Spencer,.she.w,asn't on his side. of the
question. •
There's only one kin.d :o£a hero
that I know unything abo n t,",said: his
uncle, thoughtfully: .
"'One kind of a, hero Why, Uncle
Fred, what do you 'mean ?" exclaimed
Charlie. ' s
"Simply what say. A. true, hero
is he sill% forgetting self, overcomes
any obstacle for the sake of gaihihg
some good at the "risk Of fortune, rep
utation, worldly sticoess or even life
itself."
At this . novel definition, Charlie's
eyes dropped, for 'conscience whisper
ed. that, judged, by that standard ; , he
fell 'short of the mark. -- However, fond
as , ever of carrying his
, popat, he . per
sisted :-- '
'But, Uncle 'Fred, I mean a hero
that goes ,right into danger, and the
more there is, the better he seems to
like it ; that , don't knout what it is '..to
be afraid when .his blood is up. A
hero that everybody, knows of. 'and
talks, about—one of the war Iker.oes;"
"Well, Charlie, if yob. will 'explain
what you mean about getting one's
blood up, perhaps I can answer you
better." , •
" Why, Uncle Fred, you know,"
said Charlie, hesitatingly,' "I mean
that-that"-- . when one goes right
ahead, and carries eyerything before
him." .
" It you mean a man's „getting so ex
cited as not, to know' what he's' about,
I don't agree with ,you," answered
Uncle. Fred, cornposedly. "No, Char
lie; a hero isn't made in a day, and a
man that isn't a hero 'in' little things,
never will be in great ones. I know
there's a kind of reckless bravery,
caused by great excitement, when'men
do brave things, simply 'because they
don't,realize what they are doing. It
often looks so. mach , like heroism, = that
a great many mistake the,false for'the

artil Gedd'''night, Childien);" and away
'wentl eh'artes and ila - fri - up the stairs
intly their awn little‘Chninber.
31.: It-whs .- so very:moonlight that there
was go„necessity cta have a, candle so,
after„each had. ~said his own little
'prayer, they,were quickly undressed
anil. an, bed. , They occupied separate
crrbs, one at each side of the window,
thit'ofigh Which the moon Shone with a
brightlight:
,Charles, the elder of the
two,uWas wrapped up ;as round as a
lball,•'withhis head Under the counter
but Henry had his head high
up on the- pillow; and was watching
the rays; of the moon-as• they streamed
in through the window.
Now, neither of, the brothers had
observed that, as they came up stairs,
' ''ably; tlie cat,was followingthem
I .
softly; arid had entered the room when
'they did.
For sOrne time Tabby was content
to• lie still in a corner of the room; but
-at length, wishing for a comfortable
cushion ; she approached Charlie's bed,
and leaping upon it at a bound, made
herself
. a.,cosy seat.
"
I Now, though Charles, was a boy ten
years old, he was very cowardly. If
he - had not been so, he would have
`got` up and seen what the weight on
'the rbed Was. Such was his fright,
indeed, that he covered himself up all
;the, more the bed-clothes, without
making the least attempt' to find out
what was the matter. He kicked
about so much in his foolish fear. that
Tabby.found her seat anything but an
easy,
,one ; so, leaping to the floor, and
walking, across to .the other crib, she
priepare.d to make herself a more com
fortable bed near Henry.
Henry Was asleep; but pussy's move
ments soon awoke him; and stretching
out-his hand to• feel what this strange
1 -weight/on his bed could be, he caught
of ; Tabby, who began to "purr"
~gently., . Henry was ,not in the least
kafra.id,, as his brother Charles had
I beery,,,an.q. directly he saw that it was
the eat, he of up, and taking pussy in
his 'arms, stroked her, and said, °Poor
Tab"!'' Tab!"
/Henryliked to stroke Tabby's warm
.fnr, , and to hear her purring with
.pleasure; but he knew that it was not
-right for the cat to be left in the room
all night; so he opened the window
and put, her on the roof of an out
house j i u.st below.
All this time Charles had been
lying 'huddled up in bed, covered with
the elOhes, too. much frightened to
look out. At last; after taking many
'cautious peeps, he put his head up,
and 'seeing Henry at the window, he,
asked,' ":What is the matter, Harry'
"0, it ;was only Tabby," answered
.11-*brother.; " she came to sleep on rq,
bed-midi have been tting her out.
Pu
" Then ".thought Charlie to hiroself ,
"it was only the cat that was upon
bed, NybAcii, so frightened me that
laared'UOt i look out."
