JIM'S AUNT,-
-
A FOURTH OF JULY STORY.
BY FRANCES B. DILLINGHAM.
"I wish -you could take him in," the
minister said, almost entreatingly. "He
isn't a bad boy, you know; his family • is
'quite respectable; but when his aunt said
she couldn't afford to take him into the
country with her children, it deemed too
bad for him to stay in the city."
"Oh, yes, of course," Miss Lucinda as.
stilted, hastily. " If only, he wasn't a
boy !"
The minister sighed, "I want you to do
what you think best."
It was Miss Lueinda's turn to sigh now—
a lone drawn breath -of surrender. "Well,
take him," she said.
The minister hose to go. "It's very kind
of you, Miss Tarbox; be sure I -appreciate
your self-sacrifice" ; and then he added, in
a hesitating sort of way, '"You are always
full di good wohke."
The color flamed up in Miss Lucinda's
face. " Oh !" Ste exclaimed, lifting her
proud head still higher, "I don't do any.
thing 1" and the minister felt the usual
sense of defeat he experienced in Miss Tar.
box's presence.
He was quite dejected es he went down
the garden walk. "So excellent a woman,"
he murmured to himself, and he mournfully
contrasted her uncompromising manner with
the -flattering air of other single ladies of
his parish as he glanced back furtively to-
ward her parlor window.
But Miss Tarbox would have considered it
unpardoneble coquetry to peep after the
minister, since he was. an unmarried man
and s e an eligible if not youthful spinster,
so she went at once into the kitchen to pre-
pare er supper. But the color did not at
once fade from 'her cheeks as she moved
about in her rapid, methodical manner, and
she t iought not so much of the boy who
was o come as of the man who had just
gone. If the minister felt evercome in Miss
Lucin a•s presence, she, too, had a similar
feelin i after he had left her with some u.
spoke word -on his lips. '
" I seems as though he was going to say
somet ing sometimes, but I kill it out of
him. . I wonder what is the matter with
me, a yway ?" Miss Lucinda had acquired
habi of talking to herself, and now nod-
ded g ,avely to her _reflection in the little
mirro -over the kitchen' shelf. "I'm not
bad -lo /king, and I mean to be pleasant, but,
someh 'Iv, most folks seem kind of afraid of
the. I s'pose I have an up-and-coming way
with n ,e that scares most of them. I don't
'seem. t be the sort they take to; though I
must a y it's,forlorn to be that way," and
the im ge in the mirror sighed audibly.
Wh n Miss Lucinda had seated herself at
her lo ely tea -table, her thoughts took an-
other, hannel. " What in the World am I
'to do dth a boy ? He'll upset thing
On
the table cloth,and let flies in the house, and
rub hi fingers on the window -pane, and
holler. Well, there's one thing about, it,
he's gut to mind every word I say to him !"
But h re Miss Lucinda drew herself up with
a jerk. " There you go, Lucinda corn-
pladni g of your loneliness, and then finding
ault when some one comes to see you ;
hinking you're too fond of running things,
nd then saying you're going to make this
oy do just as you want him to."
It was only a few days biter when the
oy came, in company with the minister.
e was not so large a boy as Miss Lucinda
ad expected - from his age, and he was
ther thin and pale.
"I'll give him enough to eat, that's one
ing," she told the ministe "And I've
en thinking there's! one co fort in a boy;
doesn't talk so much as aj girl—that is,
isn't likely to."
"No, he isn't likely to," the minister
sented, a little doubtful.
After the minister had gone Miss Lucinda
gan to wonder what -she should doi with
e boy the rest of the morning. She found
m in the kitchen, hinehort legs stretched
their utmost, trying to capture two, fliea
zzing on the window pane. He paused in
exertions and turned on her with a
tuning smile.
"Hullo Is dinner ready ?" he asked.
Miss Lucinda drew herself up. " We
n't have dinner till twelve o'clock," she
0, frigidly'.
Oh, that's all right; you needn't

der grub -struck, but I guess I can wait."
liss Lucinda stared at him in rebuke.

suggested, "while I get dinner," and
he went.
When the dinner -table was laid, Miss
cinda rang her seldom -used bell out of
back door, and the boy came in 'prompt.

When a mini owns a blooded horse he is

When the itrouble gets so bad that he can-
not work, be will begin to give himself the

time to cure a disease is at the beginning
and better titan all is to so watch: your.

I told him I thought you was kinder hard to

feathers out o' his hen -yard, and I theught
ph:'aps I might bring the potatoes. Do you
t-hink you could let me have two potatoes ?
I, won't eat quite so much next time:"
Miss Lucinda drew a long breath. "Yes,"
sic said, "I'll let you have the potatoes."
"Now, that's real nice. I told bins I
thought you'd be willin'."
As soon as dinner was over Miss Lucinda
birought the two potato a from the cellar,

but the boy did not go t once ; -he sat on
1:..isk movements as she Cleared the table
arid made ready to wash the dishes.
! "Say, you're awful smart, ain't you ?"
he asked, after a moment of observation,
and Miss Tarbox somewhat Overwhelmed,
did not reply.
, He placed his elbow on his round knee
aod his chin on his small hand and stared a
few moments in silence.
"It looks awful kinder nice the way you
hold up your head. Now, my aunt, she
kinder slumps along. She's a real oice wo-
Man, you know, but she don't look 's though
she had much gumption."
Another silence.
"Say, what kin I do ?" he asked next.
"Mercy.on us !" ejaculated Miss Lu-
cinda, "don't ask me. I thought you were
going to roast potatoes." ,
"I thought phdapoyou might be kinder
lonesome all alone, and I'd jest as soon help
you wash up. I'm useter it. I can make
beds and sweep and wash dishes and do lots
o' things, Try me and .see."
"Thank you, I can get along ver Y well ;
you needn't help," MiBB Lucinda, said in
grim accents of dismissal, but tfie INV did
not move.
" I s'pose you're pretty busy," he yen-
tured presently.
" Well, yes, rather," Miss Lucinda ans-
wered, shortly.
"Do you usually have a real good time
Fourth of July ?" he went on.
Miss Lucinda, gasped, "Well, no, I can't
say I do," she answered in mournful truth-
fulness. •
"Now, that's funny," the boy said, in a
surprised tone. Seems though the country
weuld be an awful nice place to have a
good time in Fourth o' July. Mebbe it's
'cause you never had nobody to cel'brate
with.; but you will this year. You'll have
a real nice time, too ; I always enjoy Fourth
of July."
Miss Lucinda gave a feeble sigh. "'What
do you usually do Fourth of July," she
asked, with the desire to- learn her coming
fate.1
" 'Well, last year I had one bunch o' fire-
crackers that got fired off the very first,
thing. I thought mebbe this year I'd earn
'nough money to buy two bunches, d' you
think I could ?"
" Well, really, I don't know, Miss Lu-
cinda said.
"And last year I wentto see the proces-
sion, and the crowd jammed me,and I didn't
see nothin' ; but this year they're goin'
have a procession out here, and that feller
asked me to be in it. D' you suppose I
could ?"
" I don't know," Miss Lucinda answered
again.
"They're goin' to have reg'lar uniforms,
red, white and blue "--evidently the boy
took this as half consent—d and it's gain' to
be jest great. I s'pose it'd be e good deal o'
trouble to make me a uniforneg seein's your
so busy ?"
" A soldier suit ? Dear me, yes, I should
say so !", There was no doubt now in Miss
Lucinda's tones.
The boy drew a long breath as he rose to
go. " All right," he said cheerfully, "
tell the fellers ; p't'aps they'll let me march
jest the same."
When supper -time came and Miss Lu-
cinda rang her bell again out of the door,
'she saw the boy coming along the path from
the barn, helping Joshua, the manof, all
work, bring in the brimming pail of milk.
" Supper is ready," Miss Lucinda said,
and this time the boy washed his hands
without special order.
" Say, ' he cried, waving the roller,
Josh's pin' to teach me how to milk, and
you won't have to hire him any more. I
kin do everything's well as not. Can't I

"James," called Miss Lucinda in an aw-

James opened his innocent eyes and look-

vigor, and it was some time before he Mus-

But when he Game out into the kitchen
and watched her moving back and forth in

he hasn t done it again. He was kind of
excited bout playing Indian, and I don't
suppose he really meant it ; he said "—the
miniete reddened and looked away, and

The min ster drew out his handkerchief and
coughed slightly. " But, as I say,he hasn't

broke off feelingly.
After t e minister had gone Miss Lucinda
started t go to tha village Store. Jim usu-
ally did t e errand, but this was something
that had been overlooked, and he was at
play, out if calling distance.
On Alis Lucinda's return, as she came
through the lane by a shorter road, she
heard voi r es in the field beyond; the speak-
ers were idden bY a hedge, but she recog-
nized the ones as Jim's and his playfellow's
across the street. •
"Say, 'a.'t you march ?" said a wheed-

he felt so a kedly homesick, and certainly
she would ne rer have offered to kiss him, so
she merel s id, as he took his light to go
upstairs, "ood-night, Jim."
But she sa, down in her rocking chair
quite near th dining-roorn, with an expect,

denly theite a ose a great commotion above,
and Jim ami tumbling down the stairs
with wild ,shr eke of delight.

cried, " Loo -a-hear, did you do it? Ain't

he danced abchub the room, first on one foot
and then on the other, waving in one hand
wonderful pair of red, white and blue trous-
ers, in the ot er a similarlygorgeoua jacket,
Miss Lupin a was really frightened ; she
was not used to such demonstrations of joy.
But Jim stop ed his dancing presently, and,
- throwing his c erished outfit on the floor, he
embraced her apturously until she gravely
extricated herfielf.
" I'm glad you like' it, Jim," she said, a
little stiffly.,lLike

, Jim shrieked, throwing him-
self about in another wild pantomime.
"Like it! Oh, my gracious, I'm afraid I
shall bust ?"
"I think you had better go to bed now,"
Miss Lucinda said, after a pause.
Jim gathered up his suit and looked at
her anxiously. "Should you mind if I was
to git up dreadful early, if I didn't wake
you up ?" he aeked.
And Miss Lucinda, to her own amaze -
merit, found la rseff replying, " Well, no,
but don't get ulp too early."
And after im was asleep, and it was
time for her to retire, she went softly into
his room to lay two packages of fire crackere
on the chair beside the gay garments.
Poor Miss Lucinda hid her head under
the bedclothes during the night, seed when
there came an extra loud explosion thought
of Jim. But at breakfast time he turned
up safe and smiling.
"I never hall such a good time in all my
life before. Say, Miss Tkbbox, did you
mean all those fire crackers for me? Well,
if you ain't the nicest woman in the world !
I've got a s'prise for you, too. Just you
wait and see !" and be nodded mysteriously
across the table at Miss Luciada, who felt a
vague misgiving.
" Why didn't you wear your soldier
suit?" she asked.
Jim beamed upon her. "Why, I'm
a-savite, it. We don't march till ten o'clock.
You don't know how much nicer it is to be
in a procession than jest to look at it. I
wish yen could march, too," he added, po-
litely. "But you'll come out on the piazza
and watch us go by, won't you ?"
And Miss Lucinda promised to be on the
spot.
'
If Jim had never passed another such day
it was as wholly unprecedented in Mina
Luchsete Tarbex'm calendar. Jim marched
by the house es proud as a peacock hi his
new soldier suit, and raised a cheer to Miss
lencinda leo loud and hearty that she retired
blushing into the house. Then after diner
there was nothing for Miss Lucinda bat to
come out on the piece's and watch airi fire
off Boom of his fire crackers, and there the
peer lady sat, cringing and shrinking alai

trying to inniltreach time Jim would shout.
" That's the loudest of ail."
But the climax of the day was reached
when Jim brought the minister home to ailp-
per. Row it happened that the minister
appeared upon the scene at tea -time Miss
Lucinda could not understand; but when
he arrived, and Jim whispered in a loud -
voice aside, "I thought p'eaps he might
stay to supper," there was no alternative
but a cordial invitation which the minister
accepted promptly. invitation,
Lucinda likewise
Inever knew the remarks with which Jim
lescorted the minister to the house. "She's
!the very nicest woman in The world," he
told the Minis' er, " ann I think she thinks
you're a pretty nice sort of a chap." The
!minister never repeated these compliments
f Jim's to Miss Lucinda.
After tea, Jim's secret was revealed: he
ad invested the largest part of his small
arnings in fire works, which he wan quite
ure Miss Lucinda would enjoy, and he had
nvited- the minister to supper that he might
elp him set them off, So Miss Lucinda
ame out on the porch in the darkness, and
he minister and Jim paraded about in the
eat little garden in fron and proceeded to
liminish Jim's purchases. Presently the
iinister came up on the piazza and sat
own beside Miss Lucinda, for the remain -
ng fire works could easily be exploited by
lin. But just as the minister was consid-
ring whether the time was propitious for
;n advancement of his own interests there
eine a sudden sharp cry from Miss Lucinda,
and he turned to see a line of flame running
bout the paper belt of the gallant little
showman. The minister was quick in his
Movements, and was down the path and had
Jim in his arms and the fire smothered .in a
ew moments, while Miss Lucinda was by
bis side sobbing and bending over Jirnhi lit-
tle.o
form. m
'let me see him," she cried, "the
ear child ! Is he hurt very badly 7" and
the rare tears fell on the small, smoky
'ace.
Jim wriggled a little in the minister's
it,rms, and, opening his eyes, smiled on her.
1` Now, don't you worry," he said, cheerily.
?` I ain't hurt.
.
"But I'm 'Ira -id I've spoilt my suit," he
dded, when the minister had placed him
n the lounge in Miss Lucinda's little -st-
ing -room. .
1 ' Oh, never mind the suit," Miss Lucinda
h
ried, and Jim looked up at her in reproadh-
ul surprise.
But it was quite true that he was iit)t
urt, though rather weak from the fright,
nd presently he came out again, between
the minister and Alias Lucinda, to sit on te
iazza, and watch the neighbors' fire works.
Jim, on the little stool at _Miss Lucindide
ifeet, leaned his head against her knee. • " I
!don't care, it's been a fine Fourth o' Jult,"
Ihe murmured.
"So it has," echoed the minister;
," don't you think so, Lucinda ?" But Miss
'Lucinda:a only answer was a blush and ' a
consenting silence.
"Do you mind now if I call you aunt ?"
Jim's voice asked.
Miss Lucinda laid her hand gently on
Jim's head. " No, dear," she said, softly,
" no."
"You might call me uncle," suggested
the minister.
Jim nodded brightly. "All right," he
said, promptly; "then we'll be a reeler
family.'.
t'
Andhe new uncle and aunt smiled in the
darkness.

How Tillie Earned, Her Organ.
When I was nine years old the teacher
of our,, small country school said that he
would give us one penny for every head
mark.
So I worked very hard, and when the last
day of that long weary term came at last, I
found by all my hard labor I had gained on-
ly 28 cents.
In about a month after the term of school
closed my father bought a large drove of
turkeys. I was very anxious to own one of
them, so I gave pa 25 cents of e my money
and received in return one of the drove,
But my joy came later when it got large
enough to sell, for it well repaid my trouble
and brought me back just $1. I was very
well pleased with my good luck, and I re-
solved to speculate again. As it happened
pe had a very nice litter of pigs about that
time, and there was one little runt (as w
cidled it) among them. Pa foresaw that if
it had not the best care it would soon die,
sci I bought it with my dollar. I need not,
say I took the greatest care of my little pig.
The result was that when it Caine time 'to
all it, Ohs pig was as large as any of them.
I traded it to pa for a heifer calf.' This calf
ggew into a cow, and a few months ago I
traded my cow for an organ. I have just
begun to take leesons, and. I think there is
