Harriet Falrchlld lslodRott, In Youth's Companion. Madge's Visit. By France I larmer. The Hamilton's verunda wuh a fav orite place of resort for their young friends. It was largo and tool and ehady. Therefore all such little bits of their various dudes as could be performed In that spot were carried to the shade of Its overhanging vines. On this May morning Mllllo and Ka tie had taken the peas to be shelled for dinner, Sophy was stoning cherries near them, and poor Madge, to whom lnevllalily fell all tho more distasteful tanks, had Just arrived with the po tatoes to peel. "Why la Madge doing tho polntoeti again?" her mother had said. "I miiMt keep my hands nice for my embroidery," was Kale's answer, though she liM had tlio grace to blush. "Oh, look! There como Alllo and Flossie Richards. How excited they look!" As the mail man arrived at the same moment with one letter for Mrs. Hamilton, Bhe took It and reentered the houso, while the four girls turned eagerly to their young friends. "Oh, such news," cried Floss, the elder, running up the steps. "Cousin Lawrence has asked us lo go with Ms two girls and Mrs. March sha beeps houso for them, you know to Nun tucket for six weeks!" "How delightful-" chorused the Ham lltons. "Sit down." "Any of your plans set?" inquired AHie, beginning to help with the peas. "Mllly and Sophy are all right," said Kate, her brow slightly clouding. "They are going away with daddy and mother. But either Madge or I have to go to Uncle Jim's." "Oh, to that dull little old farm bouse, with no one there but your great uncle and nunt? That will be pokey." "And Aunt Emma wants one of us to go to the White Mountains wtih her and little Gladys," went on Kate. "I long to see the mountains so." "So do I," put In Madge, quietly. "I don't mean it will be unmitigated fun," Katie took no notice of the In terruption, "for Gladys is a very spoilt little thing. Still, the White Moun tains are" "The White Mountains," concluded Alllo. "So they are." "Hut we must go on and tell the rest of the girls," cried Floss. "We'll see you at recess. Good-bye." "Oh, I do wish that things could he settled," cried Kate. "I want to begin, packing. No need to finish that eyelet embroidered waist it I'm to go . to that pokey" At that moment both father and bother came on the veranda. Mrs. Hamilton carled an open letter. "This Is from your Aunt Emma," announced Mrs. Hamilton. "She wish es whoever is to go' with her to meet her in Albany next week.'' "Oh," gasped Madge and Kate, in Jrie breath. Then they looked at each tther, and everybody else looked at Ihcm. "It's a pity It's no one's fair turn," Remarked Mrs. Hamilton. "Each of you has been twice, I know. But, ow ing to last year's measles, the turns Were mixed. Madge went two years running." "I am sorry," said Mr. Hamilton, in a grave tone of voice, "that it should seem so great a tax. I know that there are no young people with your uncle. But he and Aunt Martha are worthy, cultivated people. And, when I was an orphan boy, Uncle Jim took my father's place." Madge had a sweet, thoughtful face. Bhe lifted it, with a sudden Interest. "Not only that," pursued her father, "he lives a very sad and lonely life. Is it much that a girl, who has almost everything a reasonable girl can want, hould grudge one summer in every four to cheer two lonely old people?" "Why can they not come and live with us or near us?" asked Sophy. "Then they wouldn't be so lonely." "And we could cheer them up with out" "Without quite so great a sacrifice," Mr. Hamilton smiled slightly as he finished Millie's sentence for her. "Let me tell my children why I do not like to hear one ot them talk grudging ly of giving Aunt Martha and Uncle Jim a two or three months each year." He sat down among them, and ' Madge drew a little closer. "Twenty-five years ago their young est and only surviving child a hot headed boy of twenty ran away in a fit of youthful folly and petulance. Xhey have never heard of him since! But they will not leave that old farm, lest he might return. Ami, us you know. Aunt Martha puts a lighted lamp lu tho front parlor wlnodw every evening to guide his steps, should he bo wandering homo In tho dork hours of tho night. They are very sad, very lonely. I Rtn not able often to leave my business to go. I do when I can. I cannot take you away from your school, but your holidays are not all duo to self-indulgent pleasure." "Father," cried Madge, eagerly. "I'll go this year. Send Katlo with Aunt Emma." She met her father's approving Sitille. Sho felt, the touch of her moth e's hands upon her half. Sho heard (lie murmurs approving murmurs of her sisters, and saw 'Katie's Joyful face. Hut In her mind's eye, looking far nwny among tho green hills ot Vermont, was the vision of Uncle Jim's old and sorrowful fnco, his gray hair and bent form. And Bho could boo, too, Aunt Martha's trembling hands, as they lighted the lamp to guide tho wandering, steps of tho long lost son to tho home he had left so desolate. A week later the six girls snt ngaln on tho verunda. It was evening now, end a young moon was visible over the tossing tops of the elms along the street. On the morrow they were all to start on their several ways. They were now watching the express wagon as It. carried uway all their trunks. "Only I do feel sorry for Madgo," whispered Alllo Richards to Floss and Katlo. "It will be dull, you know!" But Madge had hoard her. "Don't say that, don't think IV she said. "I 1 do want to go. I do i enly." Yes, It had come to that! Sho had hem so filled with pity and lovo that what had been a sacrifice was now a pleasure. Sho had put self aside, inn', sell' was reaping the bene llt. "I nm so glad of that," said her father's voice behind her, "so glad that you tlo not go grudgingly." "No more grudgingly than he helped you, father," she answered softly. It was pleasant to feel the touch of her father's hand on hers. "There conies a messenger boy," cried Alllo. "Oh, and he's coming here!" "Oh, suppose Aunt Emma isn't go ing, suppose that wretched little Gladys should he 111," walled Katlo, who had not forgotten self. "I'm so afraid." Mr. Hamilton opened the yellow en velope, and whistled like a boy. Hla wife came out at the sound. "Good news?" she said eagerly. "Good news!" laughed Mr. Hamil ton, holding up two sheets of paper. "Look! Unclo Jim has flung economy to the winds! Listen!" And ho read aloud: ' Our boy back last night Heard report of our death sixteen years ago. Has been in Australia. Come home to stay. Wife, twin girls, fifteen. Send Mndge next train. Plans all changed, may go Europe. Writing to-day. UNCLE JIM. "Oh, I am so glad, so glad, so glad!" exclaimed Madge, tears In her eyes. "So glad for Unclo Jim, for Aunt. Martha!" "You may he glad for yourself," said Kate, tin acid note in her voico. "You're going to have the loveliest trip of all of us." "And 1 think she deserves it," put in her father. "She has been thinking of other things than her own pleas ure, my daughter." Christian Reporter. A DUCK POND'S MARVELB. Stolen Metal Was Hidden Under Its False Bottom. Dominic Sarulo, -a Junk dealer at Morris Park Avenue and Cruger Ave nue, was arrested today by Detective Lieuts. Curley and O'Nell on a charge of receiving stolen goods. A wagon load of metals of various kinds was seized, which tho police said were found under the false bottom of a duck pond in Sarulo's back yard. Tho complainants against Barulo are: W. C. Green, special agent of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad; Henry Sommerfeld, a manu facturer ot imitation antiques In met als, who says he has lost much of his stock, and James Barry, who is erect ing a building at Tlnton avenue and lGfith street, and who has missed lead pipe and brass fittings. When two detectives went to Saru lo's place and looked over the back fence they saw Sarulo feeding a num ber of ducks which were swimming upon the placid surface of a pond about ten feet in diameter. "How long have you had a duck pond, Sarulo," one of the detectives asked. Sarulo replied that it had been there quite a while. "What makes it oily on top of the water," the officer persisted. The Italian said this might be duo to the oily ground, but the detectives were suspicious, and ordered Sarulo to get a shovel and drain off the pond. As the water receded a bottom be came visible, made of boards, cement, and tar paper, the edges of which were held down by a circle of brass bearings from car and engine Journ als. Then the Junkman dug under this false bottom, while the .detectives looked on. The result was that sev eral hundreds dollars worth of metal was found, besides two large dies worth $450 each, according to Mr. Sommerfeld.
