but colored uneomf oriably as she sh'u), frank

trongly, and so 1 speak strongly. Y orxis

Not when I see Norah stirring her omelet

"Do you femember Aunt Kate s way. and

the hack of her head, hut thin was the
way she u -d them: She would find occasion
to do something about the stove, and say:
Bring me a holder, Mary; I wont spoil

omelet you made this morning. Mary; but
on't vou think it tasted of silver ; And
when Maiv fairlv started out for one of her
hurricane days, Aunt Kate just kept out of
the, way, and pretended not to notice that
anything was wrong.
"That mav do with servant, perhaps,
if one has the grace; but when it comes to
children you must notice their faults."
"Not always. Tt seems to me if I were
pretty sure my children meant to do right,
I should not he too careful to inquire
whether they succeeded in every instance.
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? I wa
going to call Arthur ftraighl buck, and
make him sit in his chair half an hour for
disobeying me. W e should both have hen

Hut the little fellow took one impul

calling him, and then tinned quickly fcnd
went by the long circuit of the walk.

1 never see. a feilow tryii b i crawl or

think of my old fi lend Hank Smith and
his ifv Kite Kate I'otts she wai l.u fore
he married ihr nnd how they tried to butt
their way through the upper cm-d .
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.

Col. Henry Atici!"-; us 1 lot t r Smythe. but
I supposed it w.-s some dUnnnui-hed fr
eigner, who had come to size me up so that
he could round out- his roast on Chicago in
hi new book, and 1 told the boy to show
the gene? al in.
I've got a pretty (rood memory for face,
and I'd boiinM tort much ."toie ptutrof Hunk
in my time not to know him, even with a
clean have and a plug hat. 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. Not in and not going
to be. Gone back to Circle City for a lit
tle quiet. Yours trulv,
"HANK SMITH.
"N. R Toowift for your uncle."
Hank dropped by my office for a minute
on his way to 'Frisco. 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
