" Well, Rlrls," said my Uncle Barna
bas, " and now what do you propose
to do about It ?"
We sat around the Ore tn a disconso
late 8cmlclrc!e, that dreary, drlzillng
M(y night,- when the .rain pattered

little daffodils In the borders. Bhook and

coronal around hr queenly head. While)
I, plain, homespun Susannah com
monly called, ' " for short;" Susy
crouched upon a footstool In the corner,
ruy elbows on my knees and' my chin'
In my hands.
Uncle Barnabas Berkelln -sat In the
mlddlo of the circle, erect,- stiff and
rather grim. lie was stout and snort,
with a grizzled mustache, a llttle,round
bald spot on the crown of his beadj and
two glittering black nvns that were al

the direction least expected. Uncle
Barnabas, was. rich and we were poor.
Uncle Barnabas was wise In the ways
of theworld.and we were inexperienced.
Uncle Barnabas was prosperous In all

"I spoke plain enough, didn't I?'
said Uncle Barnabas, dryly. " Yes, a

"What sort of a situation, Uncle

Servant, part cpmpanlon tq an elderly

" Ob; Uncle Barnabas, I couldn't do

"It's too much too rauchl" whis
pered Eleanor, losing her regal dignity
la the pressure of the emergenoy ;' Tlllku

" And this Is precisely what It ltl"re.
totted Uncle Barnabas, nodding bis'
head, " Service 1 Wby, we're all but
at service, In one way oranother.in this
world I"
"Ob, yes, I know," faltered poor
Eleanor, who, between her distaste for
the proposed plan and hcr.anxlety not
to offend Uncle Barnabas Berkalin,
dldu's quite know what to say, " Out'
I I've always been educated ia be a
lady."
"So.you won't take the situation,
eh?" said Uncle Barnabas; staring np
at a wishy-washy little water-color
drawing of Cupid and Psycbe, an
" exhibition piece'' of poor Eleanor's,
which bung above the cblmney-pleoe.
" I couldn't, Indeed, sir."

missus, cat and canary to take care of,

and two weeks, spring and tall, to visit
your mother."
"No, Uncle Barnabas, no," said
Eleanor, with a little shudder, " I am
a true Berkelln, ani 1 cannot 'stoop to
menial duties."
Uncle Barnabas gave sncb a prolong,
ed sniff-as to suggest the Idea of a very

"Sorry," said he. ""'UeaYea belps"

to my mother, " what do you ay ?"
My mother drew ber pretty little .fig

f I think my daughter Eleanor Is
quite right," said she. "The Berke
llas have always b$en ladles."
I bad sat quite silent, still with my
chin to my'hands.during all this family
discussion ;but now I rota up and came
creeping to Uncle Barnabas' side.
"Well, IltueSusle,"sald the old gen
tleman, laying his hand kindly on my
wrist, " what Is U ?"
"'Ifyou pleawy Uncle Barnabas,'
said I, with a rapidly-throbbing heart,
" I would like to takothe situation."
" Bravo I cried Uncle Barnabas. '
"My dear child 1" exclaimed my
mother, '
i "Susannah I" uttered- Eleanor, In
accents by no" means laudatory.
" Yes," said I. "Twenty-five dol
lars a month Is a great deal of money,
and I was never afraid of work. I
think I will go to the old lady, Uncle
Barnanas. I'm stir I could send home

Uncle Barnabas, fHnglng his hat one
