TWO MIDNIGHT AWAKESISOS. After finishing his supperon the mem orable evening of Arthur's cruel punish ment, Mr. John Dustin stepped softly Into the wood-shed which in that aver crowded little house had seemed to be the only place that could bo given up for an extra sleeping-room. He closed the door behind him, and by the light of a candle that ho carried pared long and earnestly at the tear-stained face of the child who lay on a rude rot. It was hot and flushed, and the little fellow tossed and moaned as though visited by unhappy dreams. Once he called out: •'Don't let them whip me, mamma! 1 haven't been naughty. Indeed I have not!"' At this the man, as though fearful of awakening the sleeper, hastily retired from the place, and there was a suspic ious moisturo in his eyes as ho re entered the other room. Here he said: "Wife, I believe we havo treated that littlo chap very un justly. My brother Richard was the most truthful and honorable boy and man I ever knew, and I am inclined to think the son takes after his father. Hereafter I shall try and make his life pleasantev and happier and in this I want you to help me." Mrs. Dustin made no answer to this, for her heart was hardened against the orphan lad, and she really believed Mlia to be the sly, bad boy that Dick strove to make him appear. "I Will wateh him more closely than ever and show him up in his true light yet," she thought, as she bent her head ovor her sewing so that her husband could not see her face. "110 shan't stand in the way of my children, and I'll believe my own Dick's word before his every time," was her mental resolve. Knowing nothing of his wife's thoughts, Mr. Dustin was already taking steps to insure Arthur's greater oomfort. He went to tho pantry and brought from it a bowl of milk, a loaf of new bread and a plate of ginger oookies made that day. With these ho again entered Arthur's sleeping-room and softly placed them on a chair, where, by tho light of the moon that AND SOFTLY PI.AOKD TUEM Off A CHAIR. was just rising, the boy would see thom whenever he should awake. Once while he was thus engaged Mrs. Dustin opened her tnouth to remonstrate E&aiust such a lavish provision of food for a mere child, but a glance at her husband's determined face caused her to change her mind and sho wisely re mained silent. There had been another and more ap preciative witness of Mr. Dustin's thoughtful act. It was Uncle Phin, who, kneeling outaido the shed and gazing through an opes ohink in its rough was waiting patiently for tho fam ily to retire that hq might have a pri vate and undetected conversation with his "lil marse." As Mr. Dustin again left the shed the old man said softly to himself: "De good Lawd brew you fer what yo\» is Jea done, Marse Dustin. You Bot some ob pore M»rso Richard's nossinto you after all. If it waren't o 010 Miss an' dem wicked chlllun me an' lil marse would trv an' stick it out awhilo longer, lfcut it can't be did. No, sah, it can't bo did." Iloro the old m«vn uhook his white head sor rowfully. "Dem young limbs is too powerful wicked, an' 010 Miss sho back 'em up. Fer a fac 010 I'hln got tor tak his lam away ffom heah, an' may bo de good Lawd lead us to de green fiel's ob de still waters, where we kin lie down in peacefulness." An hour lator, when tho lights of the house wero extinguished, and all was still with the si lence of sloop, Uncle Phin cautious ly opened tho shed door, and, tip toeing heavily to whero Arthur lay, rested his horny hand gently on tho boy's white forehead. The child opened his eyes and smiled as, by tho moonlight, now flooding the place, he saw who was bending over him. "Sh-h-h, honey," whispered Undo Phin, with warning finger uplifted, "Git up quiet liko a fiel' mouso an' come erlong wif mo. Sh-h-h." Then the old man and the child stole softly away, tho former not forgetting to carry with him the supply of food provided by Mr. Dustin. As quietly as two shadows they moved across tho open spaco between tho house and tho barn. Not until they were safe in his par ticular corner of the hay mow did Uncle Phin venture to speak aloud. Here he drew a long breath of satisfaction, for in this place they could talk freely and without danger of being overheard. First he made Arthur drink all that he could from tho bowl of milk and cat heartily of tha bread and cakes that Mr. Dustin had l«jft for him. After eat ing the food, of which he stood so great ly in need, and which tho old man as sured him had been left by ono "ob do good Lawd's own rabens," Arthur said: "Qh! Uncle Phin, I've tried as hard as 1 can to be good, and make them all love me here; but they won't do it No master what I it sterns to bo the wrong thing, and I only get punished for it. I am getting almost afraid to try and do right any more, and if we stay here much longer I'm pretty sure I shall grow to bo a bad boy such as my own dear mamma and papa wouldn't lore. Now, don't you thing wo might run away and live somewhere else, where it would be more easy to be good than it is here? Do you think it would bo very wrong if we did? I'm sure Aunt Nancy would bo glad to havo us go, and per haps Uncle John would, too," "Why, honeybug!" crlod the old man, delightedly. "Dal ar is prezactly what yo' old Unce I'hin's been projectin' to hisse'f, only you mustn't call it runnin' away, like you was a pore niggali. A Dale don't nebber run away. Ho only changes de spere ob his libbin', when he gits tired ob one place, an' takes up wif anudder same like we'se a g urine ter.

He was my dear papa's own brother, and they are the only relatives 1 have got In the world," said Arthur. "No, dey isn't, honey. Dey isn't de onllest ones what you got in do worl'. You is got a granpaw livin' yet. A monsrous fine gen'l'raan ho is, an' he's place one of de fines' in all Ferginuy, if I docs say it. lie's quality, he is, an' Dale Court is yo' own properest home." "But I have never seen ray grand papa Dale, and he doesn't know me. and 1 don't believe he wants to," replied Arthur, adding, sadly: "There doesn't seem to be anybody in the whole world that wants to know me, except you and Braco Barlow and Cynthia. Besides, Dale Court is a long way off, and it would take a great deal of money to get there, and we haven't got any at all, and I don't believe even you could find the way to It if wo should try and go there." "Didn't I uster lib dere, honey, and iidn't I come frum dere? What to' you spec I Couldn't go whar I come frum?" "But coming from a place and going sack to it arc vory different things," re plied Arthur, wisely. "So dey is, honey, ob cose dey is," igreed Uncle Phin, who was not yet ready to disclose his plans. "But wo will go away somewhere and ivo together, won't we?" pleaded Ar- Ihur. "I don't suppose we could take liy 'dear giant' ahd Cynthia with us; >ut if we oniy oould wouldn't we be sappy?" "Of cose we'se a gwine leab dis ar place," replied the old man; "you jes' ;rus' yo' Uno' Phin an' he fine a way to ;rabble an' a plaee for to go." Then he tol4 the boy that ho should jo away before daylight, and might re nain soveral days making preparations for their journey. He would not >ay whero he was going, because le wanted Arthur to bo ablo k> say honestly that he did not mow, If he \t-ere asked. 110 in itructed the boy to collect all his little t>elonglngs, Including his scanty ward robe, and have them ready for a start at t moment's notice. "It'll be In de night time, honey, In de middle of de night; in' ole Phin'll creep in an' wake you, same like ho did erwhile ago. So don't you bo afeearcd when you wakes up sud den an' fin's him stan'ln' alongside ob you." "No, I won't be afraid, and I'll bo ready whenever you como for me," re plied tho little fellow; "but don't stay long away, because I shall be so lonely without you." Uncle Phin promised that ho would not bo a single moment longer than was necessary to make preparations, and Arthur was about to go bacft to the house, wtim a sudden thought flashed into his mind, and he oxclalmod: "Oh! my book, my precious book that tho beautiful lady jravo me. I can't leave it behind, and I'm afraid Aunt Nancy won't let mo havo it." Then, in answer to Uncle Thin's in quiries, ho had to tell him tho whole story of his adventures as a Prince, which ho had not heretofore found an opportunity of relating, and in which the old man was greatly interested. Ho was particularly pleased with the title bestowed upon his "lil marse" by tho beautiful lady, and said: "You is a shuah 'nough Prince, honey, if dere ebber was one in dis worl', only you won't always be Prince Dusty. Some day you'll bo a Prince somefln else. But you mua' hab yo* book, in you mus', and we'll make out to git hollof it somehow or nudder." Comforted by this assurance, and filled with tho now hopes raised by their pro longed conversation, Arthur flung his arms about tho old man's neck and kissed him good-night and good-bye; thon slipping from tho hay-mow he sped back to the bouse, carrying the pmpty dishes from which Uncle Phin had taken the remnants of food for his own use. Tho next morning Mrs. Dustin was greatly surprised on doming down-stairs to find that no fire had been made in the kitchen stove, and that tho wator buck ets, standing on a shelf over the sink, were empty. Nothing of this kind had happened since Arthur and Uncle Phin came there to live, nearly two months before; for to light tho fire and bring fresh water into the house wero among tho very first of Uncle Phin's morning duties. Arthur had meant to get up very early this morning, and to do these things with a vague hope that the old negro's absence might not bo noticed; but he was so thoroughly exhausted by tho events of tho preceding day und night, that ho overslept and only awoke with a start as his Aunt Nancy entered the kitchen. Now, wide-awake, the boy lay trem bling in bed and wondered what would happen. Ho heard his aunt go out to tho barn and call: "Phin! Undo Phin!" but there was no answer, though the call was repeated soveral times. Xhen sho camo baclf, muttering sommhlng about "lazy and worthless old lingers,' and Arthur heard her making the fire. Still anaious to take Unole Phin's place as far as possible, ho jumped up, and, hastily slipping on his ragged clothes, picked up an armful of wood that he carried into the kitchen. His aunt looked at him sharply. "Where is I'bin?" she demanded. " I do npt know," answered the boy. "Humph! I might have expected you would say that," she replied. "How did you know I wanted any wood, then?" "I heard you calling Uncle I'hin, and thought perhaps that was what you wanted him for," was the reply. "Well, then, If you know so well what I waat, perhaps you know that I want you to get out of this kitchen and keep out of the way while I am getting breakfast," said Mrs. Dustin, angrily. It Is always those whom wo have in jured the most that we dislike the most; and, with the recollection of her I WANT YOU TO GET OUT OF TIII9 KITCIIBS. cruelty toward this gentle child fresh in her mind, the mere sight of him filled her with anger. So the little fellow wandered out to the barn and felt very lonely as he qlimbed up on tho liay-mow to make sure JiU .direst'(riegd indeed gone. tie sat uu» n m wuuuvt •where Uncle Thin was, and how long it would be before he would come to take him away from that unhappy place. lie wiahed that ho might stay right where he was, and not be compelled to sec any of the family and was feeling very wretched and forlorn generally. All at once he heard Cynthia's sweet, childish voice calling the chiclcens around her on the barn floor, where she fed them every morning. Ilerc nt%» somebody for whom he cared, and the thought that he was BO soon to leave her, probably forever, filled him with a of mingled pain and love. He slid down from the hay-mow to where his little cousin stood, and as she threw her arms about his neck and kissed him and told hitp how much she loved him and how sorry she was for him, he began to realise how bard it would bo to part from her, and to won der if after all he ought to run away with Uncle l*hin. Cynthia was a loving and lovable lit tle soul, and though she bad a freckled face. It was lighted by a pair of glorious brown eyes. Her hair was of a rich brown, flecked with specks of red gold where the sunlight shone through It. It was just such hair as the sun lovod to Vies, and the merry wind delighted to toss it Into the most bewitching tangles whenever it was not closely Imprisoned under Its lit tle pink sun-bonnet. It reminded Ar thur of his own dear mother's hair, and often when they were playing together he would snatch off the pink sun-boiv net just for the pleasure of seeing It ripple down over her shoulders. His own used to be long, almost as long as Cynthia's but his Aunt Nancy had cut it all off .then ho first came to live there, and it had been clipped short ever since, greatly to Uncle Phin's sorrow. While Arthur and Cynthia were feed ing the chickens, and tho former was al most forgetting his recent loneliness, Mr. Doatin came into the bam. He gfeeted both the children pleasantly, and even kissed them, a thing that Ar thur wondored at, for he could not re member that it had ever happened be fore. When he asked: "IM you know whero Uncle Phin is, Arthur?" "I think he has gone away," replied the boy, flushing and looking down, for it seemed aomehow as though he were not exactly telling the truth. "Do you know where he has gone?" "No sir, I do not," was the honest re ply, and tho boy looked his questioner aqtiarely In tho face as he made It. "Well, I believe you, of course," said his uncle, "and I suppose he must have taken it into his head to leave us, though it seems very strange that he should have dono so without bidding you good-bye, or telling you where ho was going." This was too much for Arthur's sense of honor, and, speaking up manfully, he said: "He did tell mo he was going away, Uncle John, and bid me good-byei but ho didn't tell mo whero ho was go ing and he didn't want me to say any thing about it unless I had to." "I am glad you have told rae this," said Mr. Dustin; "and Blnce he had gone I must say lam not very sorry. Now, oome In to breakfast." That morning Mr. Dustin took Arthur and Cynthia with him to the well he was drilling, and, to their great delight, allowed them to stay there all aay. When they reached home thai avenlng Arthur was so.emboldenedby his uncle's WITH A CBT OK HQRROK THK tlrrr* r*L LOW BPBA*G TP. unusual kindness that he ventured, in his presence, to make mention of the book of fairy tales that his Aunt Nancy had taken from him. He said: "Isn't the booV the beautiful lady pave me my very Own, Aunt Nancy?** "I suppose It is," answered Mrs. Dus tin, shortly. "Well, then, don't you think I might have it just to look at?" "I said you might have it when I get ready to give Jt to you." When Mr. Dustirt Inquired what book they referred to, and when it was ex plained to him, he said: "Well, I guess your annt is ready to let you have it this minute, aren't you, wife?" There was no mistaking his meaning; and, very ungraciously, Aunt Nancy took tho precious book down from its high shelf and tossed It on the table. Arthur seized It eagerly, and until tho children were sent to bed they and Mr. Dustin enjoyed looking at its many beautiful illustrations. That night Ar thur slept with it under his pillow, and it must havo influenced his dreams, for they were very pleasant ones. The following day was also a happy one for Arthur and Cynthia, for they spent most of it sitting close together under the roots of tho great over-turned tree, that was their special retreat, ab sorbed in tho book, and discussing, in their wise, childish way, several of its charming stories that Arthur read aloud to his little cousin. The boy was beginning to think that life in this place was not so very cheer leas after all, and was becoming more than ever doubtful of tho expediency of running away, when an incident took place that restored all his previous re solves. Cynthia had been called in by her mother to aew on her hated patch work, and Arthur was sitting alone, when suddenly a great, squirming half dead snake was dropped on him from above. With a cry of horror tho little fellow sprang up, just in time to see his cousin Dick's grinning face, and hear him say? "That's only part of whatyou'll get before long, you littlo sneak, you." That night, as he slept with his prec ious book clasped tightly In his arm;i, he was again awakened by a hand laid lightly on his forehead. As ho sprang to a sitting posture, Uncle I'hln bent lovingly over him, paying: "Sh-h-h, honey 1 Ebbery ting's ready, an' it's high time fer us to be gittin' away frum hvar." Continued m'st iretk.
