write one May morning:

truth is I hanker for a change and a

plans were—it plans she had. they were

she remarked to Jennie Y she tied up

C,ilista was driven to Jones' station by
the hired maul, who remarked on his re-
turn. "1 swan. what 11 happening next!"
The next thing that did happen that
was greatly out of the usual was the
arrival of a letter from Aunt Calista—
the first that had cootie iu six weeks of
her absence. 1t was brief and not in
the least satisfactory. and Jim and Jen-
nie declared that Auut Celesta was
growing unwholesomely mysterious. It
was date olfroiu the city in which Jim and
Jennie lived. and eiolply eaiol that she
hal grown weary of meandering around
in an aimless, miecellaneons way. and
had tinally fetched up at their home,
where she proposed to stay a spell if they
would come back and entertain her.

perating and would they pack up and
return immediately. The hired man
could keep house alone for a week. It
lacked an hour till the western bound
train arrived, but when it came, Mr.
Slid Mrs. James ]hardy were among the
handful of paseengers who "moved on"
like little Joe.
Jim had grown MontNend well with

it. It was the first time in all their
lives they hal had the luxury of inch a
rile, with springy velvet cushions, a
driver with bras bnttous and an un-
comfortable hat, and they sat back
among the lnxiiry vaguely wondering
what would happen next. They were
driven directly to tie it horue and lanled
in front of it. as a t'rngbt lamp on a new

side it was a poem within. Such Fretty

It all seemed like a dream to Jim and
,iennie. and as Aunt ()idiots pulled aside
the anrtain to lay her coat and bonnet
on the bed she handed them a bit of
paper. which, standing arm in arm
under the pretty chandelier. they read.
