But de jedge doue send un' say can't had no dinner party widout Aunt Lucy to serve up de dinner. So I inus' go. Tony, now 'mem ber which cud you's on, an' don't let nuflln happen to de money drawer, nor de beans, nor Patra, by yo' kecrlcss atuV Todj- stood on his woolly head with delight when the door closed on his mother. lie felt very proud of being left to "min' de bakery." But he was xery soon obliged to reverse his posi tion and attend to business, for people were beginning to come with their bean pots. Everybody in tho neighborhood tent their Sunday beans to be baked in Aunt Lucy Crumples' great brick oven. Aunt Lucy was a famous cook. She had been the cook at Judge Carlisle's, in the next town, until she married Peter Crumples, the barber. Peter did a flourishing business, but Aunt Lucy could not be happy unless she was cook ing. So she set up a bakery, which was patronized by both rich and poor, for her goods wereof a delectable flavor, and he was so neat that one might eat oil her floors. Tony was of gTeat use in the estab lishment, lie was strong and willing, and his mother had already discovered la him a genius for cooking, but his careU'Ksness was a great drawback. Tony lamented it, but didn't seera ible to help it. "I'll ucber git cured ob belli' keerless, till my wool done come straight, fo' wrel" he always said. Penile began to come in with their beim pets, as I said. The great oven was heating tilowly. It took a long time for it to get hot. Tony put the first in stallment of beun pots into it. "Here, J'alra, you done climb in dur an' poke de pots way buck. I reckon dcrc's gvvine to bo heaps ob pots to night," ho said. Tatrn, a smull morsel of humnnity, with her wool tied up Into little knobs with red ribbons, obeyed. She thought it was great fun to climb into the big OTon, which was not yet hot enough to bura her. She nranged the pots care fully, and was in no hurry to come out. Tony wns preparing their own pots of beans, for they sold beans Sunday mornings. Tinkle! tinkle! went the bell of the shop door, and he hurried out. As he went by the oven he shut the door. That oven would never get hot with the door open. lie had quite for gotten Patrol l'atra screamed with nil her email "'ffht. It was dark, suffocating, hor rible in the ovcu! Moreover, it was growing very warm. She kicked frantionlly nt the door, D"t it was impossible to open it from the inside. Meanwhile Tony, who had gone into he shop imd Bhut the door behind him, m putting on very grand airs of pro prietorship to Hilly McGroth, who had ome to buy a cent's worth of yeast ami wo cents' worth of stale gingerbread. "hui's thnt noise?" asked Billy, wduonly. "it sound kind of queer far off, as if it was in the walls." Xuffin but rats," replied Tony. "cans jest in time, Bar," lie continued, J? customer who had just come in. "at oven is gittin' roarin hot..

Ncber was sich a fire as I built under dat oben dis night! l'atra done burnt up!" Tony's black face actually turned fate, and all his strength left him. But at length he forced himself to open the oven door. There was a smell of tiurning leather. Tony drew forth,one little shoe. Was It all that was left of Patra? No; there was a knot of red ribbon, with a bit of wool caught in it, the wool scorched and crumbling to nshes in his fingers ks he drew it out. These relics brought a rush of teors from Tony's eyes; but tears could not lighten his weight of woe. ' 'Penrs like I'se rlronmin'amos'orfle flream," he murmured. Ting-n-llng! went the shop door, and Tony started up. l ou's gwine to be hung, Tony Crum ples, as su' as yo' born!" he said to him self. lie hid the little shoe and the ribbon, nnd hurried as fast ns his trembling limbs would let him into the shop. There wns n customer with a bean pot. and behind him came good "I'ossou Amos." a colored preacher, who lived next door. "I jist drnp in to see how yo" is gittin' 'long, boy," i-'aid Poksou Amos, kindly. "Yo' r.mst take good cure oh yo' charge, an' putyo' trus' in do Lord!" That sounded very solemn. Posson Ainr.snrolm lily observed his guilty looks and his trembling, thought Tony. And be kept sniMing ns if lie sinelled some thing burning. "But he wouldn't 'sped do Lord to lime. iinlVin to do wit r.ie if ho knew 'bout I'utni," reasoned Tony to him self. Then he bethought himself that ho must put the bonus into tlio oven, and wait tiro:i tho customers as if nothing hnd happened. It was terrible to go near thnt oven, but "it won't bring Patra back, nor be no consolation to pappy and mummy if I'se hung," thought Tony. At ten o'clock he shut up tho shop, as he hnd been directed to do, and went to bed; but there was no sleep for him. What should he say when bis mother asked him, as soon as she came home In the morning: "Whar Ptitra?" "I clar' to jroodness I'll hab to run away!" decided Tony, after he had tossed upon his sleepless bed until after midnight. lie opened the skylight his room was in the top story and looked out. The roof was fiat, and he could easily climb down to the little ell, and so to the ground. As he was taking a survey, tho skylight of the next house In the block Posson Amos' waslifted.anda small, white-robed figure appeared from it, and came toward him. It had a little, black face, shadexl by a white nightcap. Tony screamed with terror, and tried to close the skylight over his head, but it had become fastened in some way and wouldn't shut. "Tony! Tony!" called a plaintive voice. And the white-robed figure proceeded to wriggle itself in through the sky light. "Patra, Is it yo' ghos'?" demanded Tony, with chattering teeth. "Don know nuflln 'bout glioses!" re sponded the small figure, with decision. "I'se cole an' scared in Mis' Amos' big i.uiiit-zizjr . 'YOU DONE CLIMIi IN DAK. i A sf bed, nn' I cry nn' cry.

"Jlis" Amos done come in de hack way nn' pull me out ob de oben, an' her take me home to scare yo', no yo' nebcr he Itcerless no mo'." Tony htigged nnd kissed l'atra an attention o untisuul that H surprised her not a little and carried her down in his arms to her little bed beside "Mum my's." "Pappy" hnd come in nt 12 o'clock, nnd wus snoring loudly and did not wake. "Yo Is n ftood boy, Tony, if yo' is keerless," l'ntra drowsily said, as he left her. "Hut I done los' my shoo an my ribbln, an' I ncber gwine to (l.x de.benns no mo'." Tony made a call at I'osson Amos rery early the next morning. "I reek'n yo' is pwino-to tell pappy an mammy 'bout Patra?" he said, very gloomily. "Tony Crumples, is yo' cured ob keer lessness?" naked Mrs. Amos, severely. "I is, bu' as yo' born!" answered Tony, solemnly. "Den so long ns I ncber hear no mo' ob yo' keerleRs doin's, I ain't gwine to tell how yo' baked Tutra long ob do beans."

A telegram from an Indiana county eat tells tbe sad story of a farmer who placed too much reliance in the prom ises and predictions of the "Boy Ora tor." lie 'acted upon them and lost money, and now wants to know If any thing can be done about It. The tele gram gives these details: Farmer James Shuman. living near' Lapel, ln1., was In Anderson today looking up les;al points to see If he had grounds for action against William J. Bryan. Last fall he was a silver man. He heard Bryan at Indianapolis and Anderson, and especially marked the warning to farmers that If silver went down, as he said It would If the Re publicans were elected, wheat would also go down. The day after election he thought he had struck a good thing when gold men contracted for this year's whent crop at 58 cents a bushel. He was called upon to deliver 500 bush els the day Madison county dealers paid $1. He Is a loser of several hundred dol lars, and thought he could recover off Bryan. He was greatly disappointed when he learned he could not. It Is a safe prediction that the silver cause has Inst one supporter In Indiana. Harmony to tho Front. From the Altnnnn Tribune. This is not the time for dissensions in the Republican ranks. If there are chunges In the officiary at Harrlsburg, that Is a matter of Immense moment to those Immediately concerned, no doubt, and there may come a period when It will be proper to thresh the w hole mat ter out In the press and possibly on the platform. But Just at the present mo ment the rank ntnl file of the party will not permit themselves to bo soparutcd Into factions if they are wise. Fuctlon may be permitted in rase while a pri mary elertliin Is pending, but after tho tiek"t bus been made, unless It was nominated by fraud or contains bad men, faction should lililo Its diminished head and harmony should enme to tho front, l'.uili the stute noiuliii'i's are poml men.

While the Swallow people nre making a great effort to show a gain lids year for tho rroliibitiou party in the state thera Is no prospect that they will ac complish any special or litstlUK break away from the old parties. As they could not win with all of the Democrat ic party it remains for them to make Inroads Into the Kepublicnn ranks If their fondest hopes are to be realized, and this has been and is their chief aim. Hut they are to be disappointed once more, because the Republicans of Pennsylvania know that It has the power within itself to take care of the state government properly, and that the power Is being awakened. There need be no desertion of principles to Improve government in Pennsylvania. Moreover, In reference to candidates, none are personally so lacking in public confidence as Dr. Swallow. ills Injuries Permanent.

It Is understood mi the Inside here n tai l isliut g that there nr.- some very ugly scandals tu be ventilated in court when the time comes. Scandals In which talk of money liguii s and all that tills implies. The new secretary of the common wealth, Hon. llavld .Martin, has taken up the work dropped by Ceneral l!-odT and has gone right along without a hitch or error. There has been no os tentatious show about It. but the v..rk uf the otlice Is priicecding with the same smoothness that it has ever done. Sec retary Martin spends about four days a week at the cnpitol. i- nun an iiiuieni ions tile state cam paign on the Republican side Is moving along without any jar or hitch. Tlu r" Is no practical opposition to Major Levi O. McCauley for auditor general, and the Indication!! are that he will l. a.l his ticket. The state treasury-ship light Is another matter, nnd presents somo un usual complications. Tin re are four recognized candidates in the Held, l!ea- com, of Westmoreland; Brown, of In diana (Democratic); Swallow, of Dau phin (Prohibitionist), and Thompson, of Allegheny (Independent). THK STATU CAMPAIGN. The Democratic candidate Is making very little noise and It cannot be said that he Is making anything of a cam paign. Dr. Swallow and William K. Thompson are each making a very hot canvass. In addition to running his re ligious; newspaper, Jtu Pennsylvania Methodist, Dr. Swallow is also pub lishing p, campaign sheet which ho Is distributing over the state. It Is filled with attacks on the corruption of the late legislature and the oillcial turpi tude of high ofllclals on Capitol Hill. A corps of 20 speakers Is assisting Dr. few allow, and meetings are belns; held in every county of the state by local workers. William K. Thompson, the Indepen dent candidate, who Is a Pittsburg banker and a son-in-luw of the late William Thaw, of that city and of the Pennsylvania railroad, is also putting up a very stiff fight. His backers have during the past week opened bead quarters In Philadelphia and nre send ing out campaign literature by the ton. One ofthe most Interesting documents Is what purports to lie a copy of ihe now famous Indemnity bond for the payment of the padded payroll. A fund of S'.'U.OW has been subscribed bv the friends of Mr. Thompson tu dis tribute this literature among the peo ple of the state and from the cart loads of m.ill matter that It Is said nre be ing taken uwny from their heudtmr ters In Philadelphia every day, it would seem thnt the money Is being very rapidly expended.

Professor John Hamilton, il. puty s.-e-retniy of agricultutv, has just issued his bulletins for the fanners' institute work for the coming winter. The work as laid out is unusually Interesting and embraces an unusually large number of Interesting and Instructive lectures and talks. During the past season, nnd profiling by experience. Professor Ham ilton has purchused a number of slere opticons which are tu be distributed for the use of lectures In the various farm ers institute districts of the state. This Is a very radical Innovation and will do more to muke the sessions of farmers' institutes Interesting and Instructive than anything else at present. Then.' are so many subjects that can be pre sented with lantern Illustrations, and their value and Interest heightened, that Prof "ssor Hamilton must I.n re garded ns the thoughtful pioneer in this widely extended Held.
