Ttao following straightforward state

recent lssuo of tho Liverpool Mer

Liverpool, had "Six of us to support,"
to use his own phraseology, and his
funds weio getting low. Ho secured
a homestead 32 miles out from Bun

his money, $137, Into a Bhnck nnd lot,
making sure of n homo. As cook nnd
caterer In n local hotel ho mado $75
a month, and out of thin had soma
pavings out of which ho paid his
bocaklng nnd Improvements on tho
homestead. Tho shack was sold to
eood ndvontngo. Then Mr. Patterson
tells tho story after ho had removed
nls family to the homestead:
"For tho first month Hfo wns so
strange and now that I hadn't tlmo to
think of anything, only fixing up our

Surprise for Mother.
A certain mother, given to myBtl'
cisxa'and imprcsslvo theories regard
ing her highly natural children, ont
evening was entertaining visitors.
Suddenly came the sound of little feet
pattering to tho head of tho stairs.
The mother raised her hand In solemn
warning.
"Listen," she said, softly. "Tho chil

feeling of reverenco to hoar thorn

protest.
"Forglvo me, Betty, I'll not speak
of It again," ho said.
"Walt, Bruce, and some tlmo Oh,

"or I Bbnll hate myself!" ror In his

of hor past experience grow strangely

clung. Thoy wero silent for a mo

gently. "But you know nnd I know

matter whoro you aro I shall find you
and not loso you!"
Betty mado no answer In wordB,
but a soft and eloquent llttlo band
wns slipped Into his and allowed to
rest tboro.
Presently a light wind stirred tho
dend detiBO ntmoBphore, tho mlBt lut
ed and enveloped tho Bhore, showing
tbetn tho rlvor between plled-up

for their rutt alono. It was Juat twou-ty-four

looked upon such another night, but

to steal me?" naked Hnnnlbal, whoso
childish senso of Justlco demanded
reparation for the wrongs they had
suffered.
Mr, Yancy extended a big right
hnnd, tho knucklo of which was
skinned nnd bruised.
"Ho wero the meanost man I ever
felt obliged fo' to hit with my fist,
Novvy; It nppoared like ho had teeth
all over his faco."
"Sho' whore's his hldo, Undo
Bob?" cried tho llttlo Cavendishes In
an oxcltcd chorus. "Sho' did you for
get that?" Thoy themselves hud for
gotten tho unlquo enterprise to which
Mr Yancy was committed, but tho
allusion to lonson had revived their
memory of It. i
"Well, he begged bo piteous to bo
allowed fo to keep his hide, I hadn't
tho heart to strip It off," explained Mr
Yancy pleasantly. "And tho winter's
comln' on nt this moment I can feel
n chill In tho nlr don't you-all reckon
he's going' to need It fo' to keep tho
cold out? Sho', you mustn't bo bloody
minded!" "What was It about Mr. Slosson's
hldo, Undo Bob?" demanded Hanni
bal. "What wns you a-goln' to do
to that?" i
"Why, Novvy, after ho beat mo up
and throwed mo In tho river, I was
somo poovish fo' a spell in my feel
ings fo' him," suid Yuncy In a tone
of gentle regret. Ho glanced at hrs
bruised hand. "But I'm fight pleased
to bo ablo to say that I'vo got over
all them oncharltablo thoughts of
mlno."
"And yqu Been tho Judgo, Undo
Bob?" questioned Hannibal.
"Yes, l'vo seen tho Judgo. Wo wns
together fo' part of a day. Mo and
him gotB on tlno?"
"Whoro 1b ho now, Uncle nob?"
"I reckon he's Imck nt Nolle Plain'

so truly spry on his legs and nil

Sho' why, words flowed out of him
as nnturally as water out of a branch."
Ot Hannibal's relationship to tho
Judgo ho said nothing. Ho felt that
was a secret to bo revealed by tho
Judgo himself when he should see tit.
"Undo Bob, who'm I going to live
with now?" questioned Hannibal anx
louBly. "That p'lot'a already como up,
Novvy him and mo's decided that
there won't bo no friction. You-all
will Just go on living with him."
"But what about you, Undo UobT"
cried Hunnlbal, lifting a wistful little
faco to Ynncy's.
"Oh, mo? well, you-all will go

"And what will como of Mr. Ma

"Well, sir; It looks llko you'd novcr

"I am complimented by your opin

gentleman promptly. "I consider two

to hnvo achloved."
"Thero is something In that, too,"
agreed Mr. Wesley. "Who Is Colonel

Tho Judge started up from his

"I havo that honor,'1 said he, bow

to nssumo you're legally entitled to

"What point, may I ask?"
"Why, about tho time you hung out

When ho bud disappeared from
