Mrs. Audrews turned nn anxious look

"No; 'taint notblu' o' that eon. It's a

"Borrow Fatty! 'What in the 'world '"
"Well, there, you see, Polly;" begnu

"I know. Well, let's leave it to Pat

visit; but then she never was to any plan
of her elders.
"I'd jus' ns lleves," she said, iu ber
mild little voice; and George,' lamented
while be wondered that he had not been
chosen instead.
So Aunt Polly packed the old-fashioned
carpet-bag and Uncle Amaso put his
small nltce in the Btage-coich, under the
good-natured driver's care, one frosty
morning iu the late fall.
Patty never forgot that brisk rolling
over tbejtiuty roads, the glimpses of tbc
ice-bound tiver, of farm-houses nestled
among leafless trees, of uow uud then a
child at a window who nodded or waved
a baud to her, Aud, then, ua night fell,

Uncle Joshua drew away his naud, und
Aunt Sally, in htr coruor frowned over
her kuitling.
Iunoceut Patty went on presently, in
musing tone, "This place is awful
nice; but I like Undo Amasy's jus ez
well, I guess, if 't wasn't ler fur Iho
moggage."
"The what!"
"Th' moggago we'vo got on our farm
't home. Mike iaid so, an' Georgo an'
me we've hunted for it lots o' times.1'
The child's voice had grown low aud
fearful, nnd she kuitted her brows us
she spoke. "I'm sca't of it too; il'J
somethiu' awful. George thought 'twas
a bear, mebby; but Mike bo banl Iwus
moro like n wolf. D' yo ever see one,
Uncle Joahuuj?"
Tho old man did not answer, but bo-
gan raking dowu tho fire Wil'a a great
deal of noise.
"Joshuny!' called his sister, windlug
the clock.
"Wall" he snarled.
Amasy Andrews' rz good a roan

Shet up. Sally! Will yt?" Mr, An

Pally sprang to her fee(,witb her shoes
in ber bauds. "You didn't oughtrr talk
so!-' bhe cried, ludiguautly. "Uncle
Amasy's so good to me!'1 and then Bho
broke down and cried.
"Sally, take that child to bed!" corn,
manded her uncle, and disappeared.
Patty wcut home soon after this; and
when the stage stopped at the door, Aunt
Sally held her fast. Buying between ber
tears; "Ye mus' como ng'iu, darling.
Promise as ye will," while Uncle Joshua
snapped, in his crossest tones:
Of course she'll como agin. Don't
be n fool, nere, Patty, come to me.
That's something to remember nie by,"
thrusting a gold piece in her band. "And
this," holding up a little package, ''ye
tell yer Aunt Folly to put in your stock
ing on O'ris'mus,"
And then he took her to the stage.
When Patty showed her gifts to Annt
Polly, at night, that worthy woman took
the money betweeu her thumb find finger;
"Land sake!" she cried. "Ef Ibnt don't
beat nil! It's a five-dollar gold piece,
Amasy Audrews, as sure's ye llvs! Who'd

Tba man and woman exchanged
glances, and then Mrs. Andrews btooped

to stay; nnd why should he not stay
siuco ho has nit the tlmo there Is, nud
can do neatly as much business thtre on
tho sidewalk as iu his little temple of
juslico hard by? Before proceeding to
whittle he thinks it oyer a lung, long

ing luto a low, solt whistling of good old
"Oorouatiou," or "Pleycl's Hymn," he
cuts a notch lu ouo eutt of the stick, and
half listtuiog to ILo gossip of his fellow
villagers, lie goes on whittling and whlt

Now and then ho slices a long, even
shaving from tho btick,aud squints nloug

he sits nud looks at the wood and thinks
nnd thinks aud thinks. What will he
make of that stick? fjimply notblug. He
will squint nloug its sides nnd mnka it
as level us the villagers stipposo bis head

it it as glossy as the elbows of his coat
But after all, ho will havu only n smooth

"OUR OLD KAKKY-"
'What's that for? ' asked a reporter, us
ho saw a car driver take a nickel from
his pocket and pass it luto the faro box.
' For her."
"WhaHier?''
Tho car stopped and tho driver got
down with n "good murniug, mammy?''
and nssibted au old woman of soveuty to
enter the car.
"Did you pay for her?"
"Yes." ,,.
"Why?" A ,
"Well, tho story runs, baok for nlmost
two years, lie said, us bo picked up his
eslia, "1 reckon you know Bill?''
Yes."
Well, two years ago he was ona of
the toughest men lu Detroit. He drank
Bvoro, gambled nud had all the other
vices lying aiousd looso. I tell you, ho
wis a terror when off duty aud on
spree. Ho was getting so bad on his car
that another week would have bouueed
him, but something happened."
What?"
Ho was coming up one evening half
drnuk nud full of evil, and bomewhere
about Diveuport Btreet ho lurched ovtr
ttu dashboard. Ho caught and was
dragged and tho hor.su began to kick and
rua. The old woniiu thera was the only
passenger on the cur, aud wheu she saw
tlu accident she cmiw out, grabbed tbo
flying lines with one hand aud the brake
with the other, nud luokiug dowu upou
Bill she called out:
Oil ILordl help me to save him. IIo'b
a wicked young mau nud not fit to die!'
Well, she stopped that car and held
to the horso until boino oue came along
und helped Bill out of the fix, aud she
was nil the time calling him 'poor boy
nnd 'my sou' aud thanking God ha was
uot killed. He had a close call, though,
and it was a solemn warning. From that
night be hasn't taken a drmk, aud uo
driver ou this line has ft cleaner mouth
or is takiug better care of himself."
"Aud the old woman?"
"Sho lives nway out oloug with a
daughter. Many's the dollar Bill has
nout ufter her siuca that night iu the
way of clothes and provisions, aud he'll
uever forget her. Tbo story came to the
rest of usulter awhile, aud wo'vo sort of
adopted her as Our Old Mammy.' We
help ha on aud off, pay her nickel
out of our own pockets, aud when tin
car init't too full we have it minute's chat
with her. She likes us nil. aud wo
wouldu't trade ber off for tho whole Hue.
It's a bit of romanoe among ourselves,

"Yes. Did she ever talk to you?"
"Did sbe? She sat right tbero on that
