WHY TOMMY DID N'T CO.
A Story for Whomsoever etre Shoe
Pinches.
BY JOHN N. DICKIE.
"Look here, Betsey," said Daniel
Delver, as he walked into the kitch-
en, one chilly wlarch morning, with
a pail of milk in each h;ind,, "look
here, now. There is somethin' up
and no mistake. That boy, Tommy,
has made tracks for Sunbury again, -1
as sure as shootin' !"
His wife, a neat,'bright-eyed¢,
cheery -looking lady—yes, a lady,
mind you 1—took the milk into the
pantry, strained it, carried it down
cellar, returned, cleared off the
breakfast things, set back the table,
and disappeared once more in the
}gantry without saying a word.
Mr. Daniel Deiver was consider-
ably surprised. He had never,
known his amiable spouse to observe
so strict a silence at any remark of
his since they had been -man and
wife. He really didn't know what
to make of it. He drew a Iittle
nearer to the stove, rubbed his bands
Vi orously, coughed nervously, and
fi ‘1y made bold to say:

of the way things is goin' on, any-
how."
Aere the speaker ;found some un-
usual obstruction between . a couple
of back teeth, and proceeded to dis-
lodge it with all possible dispatch.
But; Daniel, interposed his
wife, �' why can't you begin to do
well by: Tommy now? You forget
that lie's seventeen years old—too
old to be punished, and old enough
to feel a little natural independence.
Now, you'vedone little more than
feed and clothe him from babyhood
up. Of; course you mean to give
him t chance when a little =older .;
but if yan keep on at this rate,- he'll
never see tati,enty-one on this farm:
I often bard... you complain that he
takes- no interest in anything—
either the stock" or"the growing
crops. I think there is good reason,
Daniel. .Yotu"don't give him an in-
terest in a single thing. Yes, you
did -give him a calf once, but when.
the butcher came along you sold' it
and put the money in your I own
pocket. You let him drop corn for
Mr. Blake . last spring, but it ail
went toward paying off an old ;debt
you owed; that neighbor. Tommy
' a good,' .industrious boy, but !you
ow he's high-strung, and is bound
learn a 'trade rather than go on
s way. Ile -may find a place at
btiry. I *do n't know. I do
wish the boy' could`stay with us,
and he will if we are just a` little
more liberal toward him. I think
it's all false economy, Daniel, that
makes a parent close in his dealings
with a child,. and you'll believe it
some day,- if not now."
We are ha _, to 'state that this.
good lady did not conclude her re-
-marks with :the usual flood of tears.
She reserveel them fot a more suit-
able occasion, and went about her
work, treading softly, singing softly,
and glancing softly in the direction
of her husband, who now stood with
one footon the wood-bbx, his elbow
on his knee, and his head buried in

totally unprepared. Therefore,
-when his wife stepped .hastily into
the room and threw a pair of plump
arms around his neck, and kissed
]aim three times, in rapid succession,
his astonishment knew no hounds.
Totally floored by such an unusual
display of affection, he could do no-
thing better than reiterate his form-
er question .
Why, Betsy, what's up ?"
"'Well, I'll tell you what's- up,
and that very quickly," replied his
wife, as she seated herself on his
knee and imprisoned his brawny
hands between both. of hers ; " in-

a regular curtain lecture."
