that her daughter Eva had actually on

Lord Lydbrook Very rarely allowed, any
thing to disturb his equanimity, but his
sister's letter caused him gonuino un
easiness. He' knew that his niece Eva
'as a willful, headstrong girl, Ayith ro
mantic notions and a strong-minded
contempt lor conventionalities. Cdn
lidorable sensation had beou caused
last season by a young lady of good
family eloping with her father's groom,

Hoys never liavo such splendid tiiws
anywhere as-they do at their grand
fathers'. How Home follows got along
the way thoy havo to without anv
grandfiitheis or grandmothers 1 nevor
could make out. JUst fanciy having no
grandfather to go and soo Christmas
and Thanksgiving and summer vaca
tions! Tho. fact is, a boy without any
grandfather can't begin to have half a
good time.
Fathers and mothers aro itll very
well, but, you see, as mot lier explained
tho last time father had to whip ub, they
feol a responsibility; .Now, graml
falhers and grandiupthers haven't any
such responsibility. They can jus't
givo thoinsolves up to being good
natured, and let a. follow havo, a good
thud. If ho turns out bad, you see, it
ain't their fault, and thoy don't havo to
worry about not having dono their duty
by him.
My graudfatlior lived just out of
IHiickriilgo, on n largo farm. Tlioro
was an academy at Ulackridgo, and so
mother sent mo to live tliero for a
while and go to school; and Undo
.lorry's two boys, Ham and Mow (right
names Hamilton and Mowbray), lived
there all tho time, and Undo Jerry ami
Aunt Anna, too, and wo had just tho
best fun that over any boys did havo;
I don't mean Uncle Jerry and Aunt
Anna; thoy didn't go in for fun, you
know. Uncle Jerry kept a store iu tho
village, and Aunt Anna staid in tho
kiteben with grandma.
'ML abcays luul to bchavo ourselves,
nn!Wyptr thought ai doing tilings
withoui'Jeave, for grandpa was not one
of tho kind to bo disobeyed; besides,
wo loved him too well for that. Hut ho
was always ready to lot us liavo a good
time, and said that ho liked to soo noys
enjoy themselves when thoy did it in
the right way.
Hesides Ham and Alow, thoro wero
tho Davis boys, about five miles oil',
who wont to tho academy, too; and
once a week or so we spent tho day with
thorn, or thoy camo to spend it with
us. Ileal good follows, both of them;
and I think we liked tho visit to lliom
best, there wore such lots of things to
do there. Air. Davis, you seowas what
grandpa called "a progressive man" 1
used to wonder what that meant, and
say it over to myself whenever I saw
him and he wanted Frank and Goorgo
to understand everything that was go
ing on; and ho usoif to get thdm all tho
improving boys' books that came out,
and they had a tool-chest, and a printing-press,
and all kinds of drawing
tilings, and tho greatest lot of scrap
books; and they collected stamps' and
coins, and taught us how; jnul wq used
to makd things when wo wont there,
and Air; Davis always gavo a pri.d for
tho bust.
Air. Davis' right name was "Hon.
Charles Al. Davis." I saw iU on his
letters when the boys brought thorn
from tho post-otlico, and tnoy were very1
proud ot their minors name, iiu una stylos soon in the-fanciful show win
boon to Congress, people said, and 1 dows. and thev advise tho uso of lon'rer
used to wonder if this was as far oil' us
tho Capo of Good Hope.
Airs. Davis used to train round (I
don't mean that sho acted bad) in a real
handsome dross mornings, and she
smiled at us pleasantly, and said that
sho' likcij boys, and hoped wo wouldn't
make her head quite ..split (Ham
guessed tliero miist bo a big oriok-in it
somowhoro(; and thou she went, oil',
and wo didn't seo hor again until dlu-'
ner-time.
T used to got 'most sick tiion, becauso
Airs. Davis said sho thought boys could
never have too much to eat; and sho
kept piling things on our plates, and it
wouldn't bo polite to leave them: and 1
was the littlest, and it really seemed us
if I couldn't hold them all. Aunt Anna
always said that "visiting didn't agree
with Phil 5" but I wjHil alUJio same,
This vviSllioway wo got thdre": 'grand-
pa would Jot US' havo a liorso when it
wasn't too busy a day on tho farm, and

tho next ono took Ida turn; and wo nev
er quarreled about it, nnd always camo
back feeling just about as good as whon
wo started.
Ono morning in July wd set oil', ex
pecting to havo just tho grandest kind
of a time. Air. Davis had got tho boys
something now from tho city, and thoy

who had walked on
"Como on, boys!"
ahead of .Kitty.
. !'Stop," HtiidHam; "lot's tlo Kitty

So wo led her to tho shade of1 somo
trees op tho edgy of a pioc) otw.oods,
wlioVo sho would bo safe from the hor
nets, aUd'ticd her fasl; then ll"vo
went, full tilt, after Alow. He was
staring up into n.hollow tree, where wo
could nist soo tho hornets' nest, looking
like a brown-papor parcel full of holes,
and a big fat one it was. ,4 -
"There's millions in it," said he, as
we calm) up; but he didn't mean money,
only hornets. , . .1 . 1
TjiU pleased us ,very much; iot that
we wore exactly fond of hornets, but it
nmdo it more exciting. , 'omattqrxwhut
a boy fs dolnV, he always 1ms. ui go forn
hornets' msr. when lid sVos itV and wo
never thought abqut being warm or
anything else, but just to send thoso
hornets Hying. Wo could see a few of
them crawling in and pu, and bunging
round their paper houe, and wo meant
to give them' a' hint tlint'thuy'd' boon
living iu if ult. hollow tree about'lohg
enough. t-t,
J he tree was quite low, and wo got
long sticks and went at them. Wd had
11 lively time of it. The hornets oanio
swnrmhig out. at us Hko tun-, thousand
red-hot locomotives, burning us every
where at once, for tliev stung us lllco
fun; and we ran for do.au life, aiUhou
came back and hacked away ntMhom,
our faces blazing with heat, anil pu'r
Mpiralioh oozing frrtnl ev'ery pord. ' Vo
took off our jackets at tho beginning of
the fray, or there would not havo been
much of them let I. for the hornets wero
lis mad as t hoy could by,jiiiiJ,so,wero.wo.
We kcpViCup for hours, never tliiuking
I10W hot We wero, or that it was rttino hi
be hungry, and wu got thai nest 'pretty
well demolished. When tho hornets
wero nearly gone, and there wasn't
much of the nest, to lie seen three tired
boys limpoil off rather Inmuly to Kitty's
cool bower, and, throwing themselves
down on tho ground, fell last asloop.
Whon thoy awoko, each lookod.at tho
othor in groat amazoment..-. ilium's
tipper lip was puffed 'way out, and, ono
cyo closed; Alow's nose'lookod' llko a
largo pink potato; whilo as for mo,
tho hornets seemed to havo attacked
overy feature I had. Tho lengthening
shadows warned us that it was suppcr
tinio. and with a puzzled feeling about
our visit at thu Davises, wo turned our
highly ornamented faces homo ward.
" What has liapponcdP" dried grand
ma, as we eamo within sight of tho
family gathered on tho porch. "Do
look at those boysl"
Of course every ono looked at us; and
as soon as thoy had sottled tho matter,
thoy nmdd us look ton liiuos worso than
over by daubing our faces with mini.
Wo woro rather afraid of punishment,
at least by being sent pupporless
to lied; and I thhik wo never loved
grandma so much as whoii, calling us
into the kitchen, sho gavo us 0110 or tho
best suppers wo over liad in our lives.
All that was ever said to us was said
by grandpa tho noxt morning, with a
comical twist of his eye. " Boys, whon
you want another hornets' nest, you
needn't go quite so far after it. Thoro's
a splendid ono over the northoastendof
tho barn."
