“Aunt Cindy is growing worse every
day,” ~ soliloquized Squire Berrian,
drawing his eyebrows together in a per- |
plexed frown, “I must really write to
Sister Jane and see if she cannot spare
one of the girls to come and keep house
for me. The very idea! It's a wonder
I never thought of that before. The
girls must be all grown up by this time,
and married, perhaps, some of thew,
Even little Patty, the youngest of all,

Be: rian received a prompt answer form

“That's twelve vears ago. Bless me,

It was possible certainly, for it was a
fact.
But nevertheless the forty years must
have dealt kindly with the squire, for
his firm erect figure, his raven hair, and
clear piercing grey-black eyes might
have belonged to 4 much younger man.
‘*And so this is little Patty,” he said,
casting a pleased glance at the tall

said the squire, as
over the grassy road
behind a span of sleek prancing bays,
“ Yes, uncle '’ said Patty, demurely,
dropping her golden eyelashes over a
pair of the bluest eyes Squire Berrian
had ever seen, .
“ How bashful she is.’ he thought,
“Not at all like Sister Jane. | never
knew her to be bashful in my life,”
Basbful or not, Patty proved an ex-
cellent and HC
never oeased congratulating himself on
obtaining such a treasure,
“f don't know what |

“1 am just beginning to know what

house for some other fellow,” he added,
half in jest,
Oh, no promised
blushing at the very thought,
“The child is as timid as a wood
thrash,” thought the squire,
They were seated in the vine-wreathed
poreh, on the shady side of the brown
old farmhouse,
The squire sat tilted back in his easy,
split-bottesmmed chair, lazily fanning
himself with his broad brimmed hat,
while Patty, with a stray gleam of sun-
shine flecking her golden braids, rocked
back and forth ina low sewing-chair,
some bits of scurlet needlework in ber
lap.
“Good evening, Squire Berrian. |
didn’t suppose vou would be hone this
time of day.’
Patty winced at the shrill, sharp tones
of Miss Prudence Ketchum, whose
angular figure suddenly loomed upon
the porch before them.
Miss Prudence cast a sharp, scrutiniz-
ing glance at Patty, then turned, with
a melting smile towards the squire.
““I have heard that mv second cousin,
Patty Crampton, was keeping house for
you,’* she explained ; ‘‘so I made bold
to run over and see her this afternoon,
I've been visiting at my sister's over on
Muddy, and just got back to-day and
heard Patty was here, The dear child
must be home-sick, so far away from
her folks."
“She must speak for herself,” said
the squire, placing a chair for Miss
Prudence Ketchum.
“But where is she ¥’ demanded the
visitor.
“Why here,” said the squire,
“I thought you were acquainted, as
she is your cousin, you say.”
“That ?"’
“Yes,” he said,
. The very ruflles on Miss Ketchum’'s
lilac sun-bonnet shook with severity and
righteous indignation as she cast a
withering glance at Patty,

“Then who is she 7” demanded the
squire,
Miss Ketchum fassed up her head np
untied her bonnet-string in her exeite-
ment,
“Who is she? An impostor,
course | Who else could she be ¥
“Miss Prudence,” said the squire,
sternly, ‘there is a mystery here which
I will unravel if you will give me the
opportunity. Whatever Patty's motive
wus, it was a good one, | am sure,”
“Oh, indeed |” snapped Miss Pru-
dence Ketchum, ‘It’s very easy for
some folks to be imposed on by a doll:
baby face and a lot of yellow hair!
But I thank my stars [| never imposed
on anybody in my life.”
“1 don’t doubt it,” said the squire
grimly, while Miss Prudence, mortally
offended, whisked out of the gate, shut:
ting it behind her with a sharp click,
like the sound of a steel trap.
“Now, Patty, explain everything to
me. You can do so, I am sure,”
said, in a kind voice,

some interesting statistics bearing

Between 1568 and 1878 no fewer than
428 were comdemned, but in no case
