I declare to you, Melly. 1 have seen children in beautiful Christian homes wfiom I pitied as sincerely as I do the heathen on our street, and who seem to me to have no better chance of growing up with any adequate conception of right and wrong." Mrs. Wallace murmured something about old maid' children, but hT cousin went on: "They lived in perpetual terror of trans gressing some law, or calling down in some way a rebuke; they seemed to be always dodging a reproving glance or a word of criticism, jurd. as others dod'c an expect ed blow. It seem to me inevitable that they must either grow up utterly callous to reproof and disapproval, or become ha bitually deceitful and hypocritical." Mr. Wallace, whose eyes were always alert, started up, exclaiming, sharply: "Now," there goes Arthur struight across the lawn, and I charged him to keep off the wet grass." "Wait a minute, Melly," begged "her cousin ; "don't you hear the baud ? The little fellow thinks of nothing but the mu sic; he is not disobeying, only forgetting. Suppose ynu don't see him this time." Mrs. Wallace frowned a little, but sat down, and in a few moments her little boy came in with glowing cheeks and sparkling eyes, wild with delight at the music and the gay uniforms. It would have been a hard heart that could have resisted his en thusiasm, and Mrs. Wallace only said, with a fcmile: "You're mamma's owft boy for mus-ic, but don't forget about the graee; it is very wet after the rain." "Oh, mamma," said Arthur, looking re gretfully at his feet, "I didn't think about the grass, I waa in such a hurry. I'm a soriy." "Never mind now," said his mother; "mamma knows ou meant to remember, and she'll excuse you." "Nice mamma," said Arthur, patting her cheek as he ran away. "Jennie," said Mrs. Wallace, after a mo ment of silence, "Solomon watj right . Do you know what f was going to do?

Hank and I were boys together in Mi ottn, and he stayed rIotir in tlie old town atter I left. I heard of him on and off as tending store a little, and farming a little, and loafing a pood deal. Then I totuot all about him until one day a few years apo whrn he turned up in the paper? as ("apt.

Some men dry n)i with mkmt, but it was ju-t spout- mu out of Hank, lold tne he d made his pile and that he wa tired of living on the slag henp; that h'-'d pcnt his wliole life where money htmHv whi-pered, let alone tnlked, anl he wngoiug now wiiere it would shout. Wanted to know what wa t he ne of beirojp a nob if a ft How w an'J the nobbiest sort of a nob. Sri id he'd bought a hnnste on Iteacon Hill, in lioton, and titat if I'd prick up my .ars occasionally I'd hear snmet hing drop into tfie Jtack bay. Handed me new card four times and explained that it was the rnwe-t port of dog to carry brace of names in your card holster; that it tiaTe you the drop on the swells every time, and that liiey just had to throw up both hands and pa-ss you the pot. when you showed down. Said that Hot tea was old r-nRij-n for Jtotts, and that Smythe was new American for Smith; the Augustus wa jut a fancy touch, a sort of high-card kicker. I didn't explain to Hank. bcnue it w rongrntulatinn and not explanations that he wanted, nnd I make it a point to stu.w a customer the line of goods that he's look ing for. And I never heard the full par ticulars of hi experience, in tlie eat. though, from what 1 learned afterward, Hank struck Ho-ton with n linns;, nil right. He located his chum on Heaeon Hill, be t ween a Ma yon we alescemlnnt and f declaration signer's great-grnmlon, breed' which believe that when the F,oid made them He was through, and that thereat of ns ju-t happened. And he hadn't been in town two hours before he Malted in to make impi oveinents. Theee was a high wroiight-iron rai!inu in front of Ins house, and he had that gilded (irt thing, because. as he said, he wa-n't running a receiving vault and he didn t want any mistakes. Then he bought a nice, open barouche, had tne wtieets painted red, hired a nipirer coachman and started out in ftyle to be sociable and get acquainted. Left hi card all the way down one side of Heacon street and then drove back, leaving it on the other. Kverywhere he stopped he found that the whole family was out. Kept it up n week, on and off, but didn't "ee:n to have any luck. Thought that the nun must be hot sports and the women great gadders to keep on the jump so much. Allowed thnt thev were tne liveliest little lot of Mmi that he lAd ever cha?cd. Decided to quit trying to nail em one at a time, and planned out something that hp reckoned would round up the whole bunch. Hank nent out a thousand invitations to his grand opening, as he called it; left one at every house within a mile. Had a brass band on the front steps and fireworks on the roof. Ordered 40 kegs from the brew ery and hired a fancy mixer to sling to gether mild snorts, as he called them, for the ladie. They tell me that, when the band got to going good on the steps and the fireworks on tlie roof, even Heacon street looked out the windows to fee what was doing. There must have Veen 10,000 people in the street and not a soul but Hank and his wife nnd the mixer in the houe. Soma one yel'ed speech, and then the whole crowd took it up. till Hank enme out on the steps. .He shut oft' the band with one hand and Mopped the fireworks with the other. Said tiiat speeehmaking wan't his stranf-le-hold; that he'd been living on snowballs in the Klondike for so long that his gas-pipe was frozen; hut that this wel come started the ice and he thought about three fingers of the plumber's favorite pre scription would cut out the frost. Would the crowd join him? He had invited a few friends in for tlie evening, but there seemed to be some misunderstanding about the date, and he hated to have the good stuff curdle on his hands. While this was going on the Mi y flower descendant was telephoning for the po lice from one side and the Signer's great grandson from the other, and just as the crowd yelled and broke for the hou,-c two patrol wagons full of policemen got there. But they had to turn in a riot call and bring out the reserves before they could break up Hank's little llo-ton tea-party. After all, Hank did what he started out to do with his party rounded up all his neighbors in a bunch, though not exactly according to schedule. For next morning there were so many descendants and great grandson in the police court to prefer charge that ft looked like a reunion of tite Pi'jiriru Father. The judge fined Hunk or Iti counts and bound him over to keep the peace for a hundred years. That afternoon he left for the wet on a specittl. became the limited didn't get there quirk enough. Hut before aroint he tacked on the front door of his house a sign which read: "Neighbors paying their party calls will please not heave rocks through windows to attract attention.

Said he liked thing lively, but there was altogetl er too much rou;h-houfre on Htacon Hill for him. Judged that a the crowd which wasn't invited win so blamed sociable, tlie one which was invited would have stayed a week if it hadn't dipped up on the date. That might be the H-ton idea, but he wanted a little more refinement in his. Said he was a pretty free spender, and would hold his end up. but he hated a hog. Of course I told Hank that Hojtr.n wasn't all that it was cracked up to be in the school histories, and that Circle Ci' wasn't o touh aj; it rjad in tlie nswpj pin. for thi wa no way of Making hnu understand ta.it he might Lave live 1 in lit---ton for a hundred years without being in vi'ed to a strawberry sociable.
