"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 seemed too bad for him to stay in the city." "Oh, yesaof course," -Miss Lucinda as- sented, hastily. "If only he wasn't at boy" The minister sighed, "1 want you to do whatsyou think best." It was Mies Lucinda'ssturn to- sigh now— a long drawn breath of surrender. • " Well, Pll take him," she said. The minister rose 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 a way, " You are always full of good works," • The color flamed up in Miss Lucinda's face. " Oh 1" site •exclaimed, lifting her proud head still higher, "1 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 as he went. dowri the garden welk. "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 lier parlor window. But Miss Tarbox would have consideredlt unpardonable coquetry. to peep after the minister, since he was an unmarried man, and she an eligible if not youthful spinster, so she went at once into the kitchen to pre- pare her supper. But the color did not at once fade from 'her cheeks as she moved about in her rapid, methodical manner, and she thought not so much of the boy who was to come as of the .man who had just gone. If the minister felt overcome in Miss Lucinda's presence, she, too, had a similar feeling after he had left her with some spoken - spoken word on his lips. "It seems as though he was going to say something sometimes, but I kill it out of him. I wonder what is the matter with me, anyway?" Miss Lucinda had acquired a habit of talking to herself, and now nod- ded gravely to her reflection in the little mirror over the kitchen -shelf. " Pm not bad -looking, and I mean to be pleasant, but, somehow, most folks seem kind of afraid of me. I s'pose Ihave an up-and-coming way, with me that scares most of them. I don't seem to be the sort they take to; though I must say it's forlorn to be that way," and the image in the mirror sighed -audibly. When Miss Lucinda had seated herself at her lonely tea -table, her thoughts took an- other channel. , " What in the world am I to do with a boy ? He'll upset things on the table cloth,and let flies in the house, and rub his fingers on the window -pane, and holler. Well, there's one thing about it, he's got to mind every word I say to him !" But here Miss Lucinda drew herself up with a jerk. " There you go, Lucinda, com- plaining of your loneliness, and then finding fault when Berne one comes to see you; thinking you're too fond of running things, and then saying you're going to make this boy do just as you want him to." It was only a few days later when -the boy came, -in company with the minister. He was not so large a boy as Miss Lucinda had expected from his age, and he was rather thin and pale. " give him enough to eat, that's one thing," she told the minister. " And I've been thinking there's; one comfort in -a boy ; he doesn't talk so much as a girl—that is, he isn't likely to." asemirmwesameuna JULY 24 " No, he isn't likely to," the minister assented, a little doubtful. After the minister had gone Miss Lucinda began to wonder what she should do with the boy the relit of the Interning. She found him in the kitchen, his short legs stretched tostheir utmost, trying to capture two flies window pane. He paused in and turned On her with a buzzing on the his exertions beamin "Hullo ! le dinner ready ?" he asked.- , Miss Lucinda drew herself up. "We don't have diniier till twelve o'clock," she said, frigidly. "Oh, that's hurry," the al! right; you needn't oy said pleasant' Jm " y. kinder grub -struck, but I guess I can wait." Miss Lucinda stared at him in rebuke. "Perhaps you'd better go out and. play," she suggested, "while 1 get dinner," and off he went. When the dinner -table was laid, :Mise Lucinda rang her seldom -used bell out of• the back door, and the boy came in prompt- ly, 'with quite a color in his cheeks. "My 1" he exclaimed, staring at the neat, plentiful table, ain't this a feed !" You'd better go and wash your hands," Miss Lucinda suggested, and the boy went cheerily to the sink, rubbing himself vigor- ously and then wiping his hands on the spick-and-span roller. . Miss -Lucinda groan- ed at the great black roarks on the towel, and went out into the kitchen to turn it about so that she Might not have to look at them through the dining room door -way. "Mercy on us," she cried in distress as she came out into the kitchen, "you've left the door open. The house will be full of flies." " Now don't , you rouble, the boy said, , soothingly. .111 catch -every single fly that' got in.

After he had_ taken the fiest keen edge froin hie hunger he laid down his knife and fork and looked at her inquiringly. - "Should you mind if I was to call you aunt ?" he asked, amilingly, "Yu know I useter live with my aunt, and I'M kinder useter-sayin' it." ".! I think it would be better if y u called me Miss Tarbox," Miss Lucinda 13 id, sur- prised, but not thrown off her guard. • . "That's rather 'wig," the boy said, medi- tatively, " but I guess if I say it ,often enough I kin git it. Miss Tarbox, Master - box, Misstubox, Misstibox, Miss—" " Don't say that over again, for goodne s' sake," Miss Lucinda said irritably.

Do you think you could let me have two potatoes? I won't eat quite so much next time." Miss Lucinda drew a long breath. "Yes," she said, "P11 let you have the potatoes." " Now, that's real- nice. I told him I thought you'd be willin'." As soon as dinner was over Miss Lucinda, brought the two potatoes from the cellar, but the boy did not go at once ;-he sat on a chair in the kitchen and watched her brisk movements as she cleared the table and 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 kneet and his chin on hie 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 nice 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 roastpotatoes."

" Well, yes, rather," Miss Lucinda arts- wered, shortly. , " Do you usually have a real good time ,Fourth of July ?" he went on. Miss Lucinda gasped, " Well, no, I can't sty I do," she answered in mournful truth- fulness. Now, that's funny," the boy said, in a surprised tone.

When supper -time came and Miss Lu- cinda rang her bell again out of the door, she eaw the boy corning along the path from the barn, helping Joshua, the masa of all worlr, bring in the brimming pail of milk. "Supper is ready,"; Miss Lucinda said, and this time the boywashed his hands without apecial order.

Miss Lucinda flushed too, and looked greatly embarrassed, but her't, was no stony heart o refuse ;36 gallant a suitor ; she stooped and kissed him awkwardly and Rut- teringl somewhere upon his forehead or hair; •ut when she would have felt her duty over, he suddenly seized her in an im- petuou; - petuou hug. Ife went upstairs quickly,and Miss Li cinda sat low u in her little rocking chair w'th hot, red cheeks, and something deeper han embarrassment brought a new light into her clear eyes. "1 t link he tries hard to be a good boy," Miss Ja cinda said to the minister when next he called, " but he does a great many things hat are rather- startling, and now and th -n he says something he oughtn't to." ," the minister said in kindly in- "Ye tercet. "Th very first day he got here he swore at the able. The minister looked horri- fied, Of comae I spoke of it right off,ancl he has 't done It again. He was kind of excited about playing Indian, and I don't suppos he really meant it; he said "—the ministe reddened and looked away, and Miss L cinda flushed—" he said jimney." The mi later drew out his handkerchief and coughe I slightly. "But, as I say,he hasn't said an'thing since, and I think I could get ali ig very well if Fourth of July wasn't coming so soon. But What do you think He wa to a soldier suit, and firecrackers, and all sorts of things. It only he hadn't come ill after the Fourth ? I never did, approv of it. I always did think it was a heathe ish holiday,' and Miss Lucinda broke sit! feelingly. Afte - the minister had gone Miss Lucinda started to go to the village store. Jim usu- ally dic the errands, but this was something that htd been overlooked, and he was at play, olut f calling distance. On A ilia Lucinda's return, as she came throug he lane by a shorter road, she heard oic s in the field laeyond ; the speak- ers we e hidden by a hedge, but she recog- nized t e tones as Jim's and his playfellow across he atreet.

Say, look -a -here, you see, Miss Tibbo ain't never had a boy "round, and she d n't understand 'bout Fourth o' July, that's alt." Lucinda 'did not wait to hear the answ r, but went swiftly back to the village. Th night before the Fourth, a Jim was going to bed, Miss Lucinda said "Aren't you ping to march with the boys to -mor- row, Ji ishino?o)1E• ' his head 'and looked at her solem ly. "1 ain't got no suit. ,The fellers won' let you march, without one. Never mind ; I've given up lots of things. My aunt a'n't much of a hand for doin things, you now." Jin had never asked Miss Luchada to kiss him ood night since that first time, when he fe t so markedly homesick, and certainly she ould never have offered to kiss him, so she erely said, as he took his light to go upsta rs Good -night, Jim." Bu site sat down in her rocking chair quite near the dining -room, with an expect, ant, I stening expression on her face. Sud- den] there arose a great commotion above, and Jim came tumbling down the stairs with shriekc, of delight. - Oh, my gracious 1 oh, my gracious !" he cried, " Look -a -hear, did you do it? Ain't they utes ? I kin march now, can't 1? 0, my Ji i—my gracious, my gracious t" and he da ced about the room, first on one foot and tien on the other, waving in one hand wond rful pair of red, white and blue trous- ers in the other a sheilarly gorgeoustiacket. Miss Lucinda was really frightened; she was not used to such demonstrations of joy. But Jim stopped his dancing presently, and, throwing his cherished outfit on the floor, he embraced her rapturously until she gravely extricated herself. ," I'm glad you like it, Jim," she said, a little stiffly. "Like ib I" Jim shrieked, throwing him- self about in another wild pantomime. ," Like it t 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 asked. And Miss Lucinda, , to her own amaze- ment, found herself replying, " Well, no, but don't get up too early." And after Jim was asleep, and it was time for her to retire, she weat softly into his roomtolay two packages of fire crackers on the chair beside the gay garments. Peor Miss Lucinda hid hei. head under the 'bedclothes during the night, and when there came an extra loud explosion thought of Jim. Brit at breakfast time he turned up safe and smiiiiag. "1 lever biT.d such a good time in all my life before. Say, Miss Tibbox, did you mean all those fire crackers for me ? Weil, if you ain't the nicest woman in the world ! , I've got a s'prise for you, too. Jut you wait and see 1" and he nodded mysteriously across the table at Miss Lucinda, who felt a vague misgiving. Why didn't you wear your soldier suit?" she asked. Jim beamed upon her. "' Why, I'm ft -Savin' it. We don't march till ten o'clock. You, don't know how much nicer it is to be in a ,procession thin jest to look at it. I wish yea could marsh, too," he added, po- Ititely. "But you'll conic out on the piazza and watch es go by, won't you ?" Aid Miss Lucinda promised to be on the spot If Jim had -never passed another such day it WaS as wkolly unprecedented in Miss laud 4 Tarbox's calendar. Jim marched by t e hones as proud as a peacock in his new soldier suit, and raised a cheer to Miss Luei da so loud and hearty that she retired blus ing into the house. Then after dinner ther vras nothing for Mimi Lucinda at to offs otit on the piazza and -watch fire Toe of his fire crackers, aud there the peer lady sat, cringing and shrinking aril trying to smile -each time. Jim would shout. That's the loudest of all." Bub the climax of the day was reached when Jim brought the minister home to sup- per. How it happened that the minister appeared-upothe scene at tea -ti Lucinda couldnot understand ; but when Me Mies he arrived, and Jim whispered in a loud voice aside, " I thought p'r'eps he might stay to supper," there was no alternative but a cordial invitation which the minister accepted promptly. invitation, Lucinda likewise never knew the remarks with which Jim escorted the Minister to the house. "She's the very nicest woman. in The world," he told the mania' er, " ann I think she thinks you're a pretty nice sort of a ohap." 'The minister never repeated these compliments of Jim's to Miss Lucinda. After tea, Jim's secret was revealed : he bad invested the largese part of bis masa' earnings in fie works, which be was quite sure Miss Lueinda would enjoy, and he .had invited the Minister to supper that he might help him 'set them off. So Miss Lucinda came out on the porch in the darkneas, and the minister and Jim paraded about lathe neat little garden in front, and proceeded to diminish Jim's purchases. Presently the minister came up on the piazza and sat down besideMiss Lucinda, for the remain ing fire works' could easily be exploited by Jim. But juat as the minister was consid- ering whether the time was propitious for an advancement of his own intareets there caine a audden sharp cry from Miss Lucinda, and he turned to see a line of flame running about the paper belt of the gallant little showman. The ministerwas quick in his movements, and was down the ath and had Jim in his -arms and the fire sniothered in a few moments, while Miss Lu inda was by -his side sobbing and bending over Jiin's lit- tle, iform. , let me see him," she cried, "the dear child ! Is he hurt very fbadly ?";and the rare tears fell on theall, smoky face. Jim -wriggled a little in t e ministerai arms, and, opening his eyes, sxuiled on her. "Now, don't you worry," he sjaid, cheerily. " I ain't hurt. But I'm 'fraid I've spoilt ly suit," he added, when the minister had placed him on the lounge in Miss Lucin a's little sit- ting -room. " Ob, never mind the suit," Iiss Lucinda cried, and Jim looked up at her in reproach- ful surprise. But it was quite true that he was not hurt, though rather weak from the frights and presently he came out again, between the minister and Miss Lucinda, to sit on the piazza and watch the neighbors' fire works. Jim, on the little stool at Miss Lucinda's feet, leaned his head against her knee. " I don't care, it's been a fine Fourth o' July," he murmured. "50 it has," echoed the minister ; "don't you think so, Lucinda ?" But Miss Lucinda's orily anawer Wa,s a blush and a consenting silence. "Do you mind now if I call you aunt4" Jim's voice asked. Miss Lucinda laid her hand ntIy on Jirn's head. "No, dear," she s 'd, softly, "50.' " You na ht call rue uncle," suggested the minister Jim nodd d brightly. "All right," he said, promp ly ; "then we'll be a reglar family." And the n w uncle and aunt smiled in the darkness. [THE END.] AMMINONIIIRIMEMINEMmoll How Tilie Earned .Her Organ. , When I as nine years old the teacher of our sma I country school said that he would 'give lus one penny fox 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. I In about almonth after the term of sehOol closed my faIher bought a large drove of turkeys. I *as very anxious to own one of them, so I gave pa 25 cents of -my money and received in return one of the drove. But my joyname 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 pa had a very nice litter of pigs about that time, and there vras one little runt (as -we called it) among them. Pa foresaw that if it had not the best care it Would soon die, so 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 came time to sell it this pig was as large as any of them. I traded it to pa for a heifer calf. This calf grew into a cow, and a few months ago I traded my cow for an organ. I have just begun to take lessons, and I think there ia nothing nicer than music.—Lillie Pouleon's prize story, in Chicago Record. ....._.___,__.

Standing at a point which commands a good view of Horseshoe 'Falb, a squad of visitors were recently gazing' at the great white sheet through the cloud of mist, among them a representative of this publicatiOn. After scrutinizing the Falb thoroughly, both with naked eye and field - glass, one of the group—an Illinois lawyer, prominent in the district he resides in— said, with a puzzled look on his face: 'Where are the wheels? I doll/1 see any.' Of course you can't see them,' said a Massachusette merehant, with a thoroughly sophisticated Sir; 'the tunnel is built in tate rock behind the cataract and the wheel project into tha falling stream some, well, perhaps from t o to ten feet, but not, clear through, so tha the—what are they called, flukes or floate ? are not visible,' " ' And doesithe water go right on clown the river into Lake Ootario ?' asked one of the ladies of tile party. i " ' Cartainly,' replied the encyclopclic tradesman.
