A QUEER AUNT.
How Sho Tried to " Polish - Hor
Two Niocos.
"Caehug!
aehug!
caehug!" sang
tlie churn.
' Whippourwill! whipjMiorwill!
When you hear the Hist whipitoorwill's
hOIIJi"
sang the maiden who lii;l llic dasher
through I lie foamy cream.
It was in the cool of asummer morn
ing. Tho family breakfast hail been
taken while dusk was yet on the land--c:ipc,
mid the flic yet. doin g on the
kitchen ceiling. Then, as Site cleared
the table, Dell had hastened to bring
from the cool cellar the cream, in dewy
crocks; had hurried it, with splash and
thud, into the ntono churn, that the
butter mi I'll t be finished while yet the
morning's breath was unhealed, and
sweet with the sweetness of rose and
honeysuckle. Surely it would be fair
and fragrant, the butter of such an
Jiour.
The churn stood to its middle in a
vessel of frc-di water. A cherry-tree,
low-branched and gnarled, overspread
the girl Ht the dasher, and crowded its
Iright fruit against the caves and on
to thcfchitiglcd roof. Robins and saucy
blue-jnys were flitting and flirting
among the branches, shaking down the
dewdrops, with now and then a bleed
ing cherry, dropped from the beaks.
Slowly the white light was stealing
up tho sky, showing adowu the garden-walk
the great blotched touch-me-nots
and crim.sou poppies and low
blooming petunias, every corolla and
leaf bending tinder the heavy dew;
showing the tree wind-break like a
castled wall, and, beyond the break, tho
meadow-lands, .stretching out and out,
till the sky stooped down and stopped
them.
"Caehug! caehug! caehug!" sang
the dasher, thick of speech from the
clinging butter.
' Meet me. oh meet me.
When you hear the. first whlppoorwill's
sonar."
.sang the maiden.
"Why. Dell, that butter must be
come!" Sue called. "I know it must
be by the chug sound."
Dell lifted tho cover; a warm breath
came up from the dappled milk; all
.the dasher's length to the hand was
flecked with butter; all the churn's
walk were specked with it; it clung in
beads of pale yellow to the down side
of the lid; it floated in islands on tho
anilk. Dell's strongly muscled hand
turned the dasher till the little butter
islands were massed into large ones.
1 hush es of fresh water rinsed down tho
draggling globules fronj tho lid and
churn-walls, and cooled the warm
milk. Then Ddl went to tho garden,
to wod the beet-beil and to train he
tea-vines up tho brush." When she
vame back to the churn, she brought
long, bright radishes, silver onions
snd cool bunches of curled lettuce.
She had salted and worked the but
ter, and had just got it into the mold
when the roll of wheels was heard,
lloth girls ran to the window. At the
at was a buggy, and from it at that
.-moment was climbing a woman.
Who can it be coming here so
.early?" said Dell.
Who on earth?" echoed Sue.
-Thercl She's sending the buggy
.it way. so she means to stay."
The girls snatched off thc-ir kitchen
aprons, and made some passes at their
iiair.
May lo it's our fortune." said
Dell, tying on a clean aproa.
1 hope it K" said Shc, "for I'm
.tired oC farm-work."
Sue west to the door to receive the
strange woman; the first glance at the
face framed in the white rvchings of
Abe green bonnet showed that the fce
was a strange one. The visitor was
ll and thin, with very light hair, pale
feluecvea and a parchment-like skin.
"How do yon dor" she said, smiling
m your Aunt
mother's sister
and your father's sister-in-law. You're
Sophia Hopkins1 daughter, aint you?"
Sue said: "Yes."
Then I'm on the right track. I
generally am. Your mother was the
next youngest to me."
Uy this time the visitor was in the
house, and was unt3'ing her green satin
bonnet-strings.
44 1 am very glad to see you.'l said
Sue, surprised and awkward.
" I knew you would be, if you're
any like your mother; considering,
too, that I've come all the way from
Maine to Kansas to look out for
Sophy's children I'm going to taKe
them all back with me, and got them
polished and married off and set up.
I hope she didn't leave many children.
1 can never rest in or out of my grave
till I see them all polished and set
up."
"Shc talks about u as if we were
tin nni llin rings,'' was Sue's mental
commentary.
" It's been running in my head to do
this ever since poor, dear Sophy's
death. How long is it .-incc she
died?"
" A little over eight years," Sue
answered, thinking that the aunt.- idea
had had a long run before coming to
its execution.
Eight years!" exclaimed the aunt,
in tones of oxeeive .surprise. It it
possible? Why, I didn't think it was
much over seven. And how 111:1113' oil
spring did she have? The rpiostiou is
ncccssan", because I'm going to take
them all back with me, to have them
finished and poli.shcd and married and
set up."
"Mother left onl" two children.'"
"I'm truly thankful for that!" the
aunt interpolated.
"I have a .sister eighteen month-;
older than I am."
"Eighteen mouths older than you!"
cried Aunt Dorothy, in long-drawn
tones of astonishment.
"She talks as though I was a girl
Methuselah!" Sue thought.
"Then 1 must get about her finishing
or polihing, or I'll b too late to mivc
her from manning in her present
sphere. 1 have come here with the
unalterable purpose of elevating
Soplry's children."
Here Dell entered. looking bright
and smart in a new calico dress. Her
face was a very' pleasant one, fresh,
heal th '. cheerful. The bright brown
hair rippled from root to tip. and hung
free, just clearing the shoulder.-. The
eyes, of a navy-blue color, were large
and soft; the complexion was good:
there were some freckles, but these
paled, almo.st blotted out, l3' the vivid
blood of the rounded cheeks. The girl
entered with a question in her face.
"Aunt Dorothy, my sister Dell," said
Sue.
"Is it possible?" said Dell, glowing
with surprise and pleasure. "I'm very
glad to see you."
"And well 'ou 111:13- be. I've come
from Maine to Kansas to make a lady
of 3'ou."
The bloom of Dell's cheek spread to
her shaped ear. and from brow to chin.
Weren't thty ladies, she and Sue?
"1 coulilu t sleep with wormng
about poor Soph's children, growing
up in a wilderness unpolished. Where's
Ilrother-in-law Hopkins?"
"He got an earU' start to the field;
he set out to get his corn laid 113- to-day.
Hut come and get washed and combed,
while I set 3011 a cup of coffee."
"Yes," said the aunt, getting to her
feet with the spring of a grasshopper.
"And broil me a piece of chicken or a
bit of trout"
The sisters exchanged a look of dis
111 ay.
"She'll have to go to Maine for her
trout," Sue thought.
"And make hatc. 1113- dear, for I am
faint." said the aunt.
The girls made a move to leave the
room.
"I want one of 3-011 to sta3' and talk
to me," the guest said.
Sue sat down, but she was .-pared the
trouble of talking.
"Poor Sophy's hushr.nd. 3'our father,
and 1113' brother-in-law! Nothing can
be done about elevating him. He has
lived a clodhopper, and he will die a
clodhopper." the aunt said, between
the dashings of water over face, neck
and head, dashings made with such
abandon that Sue sat trembling for the
newly-papered walls. "But Sophy's
children I shall polish."
She was not fairly through with her
splashings when Dell announced the
lunch, apologizing that she had to sub
stitute broiled ham and poached eggs
for trout and chicken.
This furnished a text.
"I must get Sophy's children off this
farm to a city, where they can step out
and get dressed trout and chicken at
any hotel. 1 must get the modern im
provements into their lives. M- dead
sister' children must not grow up in
ignorance of modern improvements."
"I wonder how much taller she ex
pects us to grow!" thought Sue.
"Wc can't both go awa- and leave
father," Dell said to Sue. while their
aunt was napping after breakfast.
"We shall have to draw traws for
the polishing chance," said Sue.
"I don't want to be polished if 3-ou
can't be." Doll said. "I'm afraid I
should get to be ru-hanied of you. I
don't want to get so superior that 1
can't enjoy 3-011."
"Oh. Ido want to travel and see
something of the world! Neither of us
has ever seen a hill, or a river, or a
city, or a boat, or a railroad. I think
we both might go. and have Aunt Jen
come to keep house for pa," said Sue.
Sue's plan was decided upon. When
the talk about the wardrobes began,
the aunt decided in a summary- way
that the clothing of the "barbarous"
West could never be worn in the East.
Every thing could be bought ready
made in New York." she said.
"Don't worry; I've got tho money
deposited in bank to polish Sophy's
children with."
and kissing Sue. "V
Dorothy Bean, 30W 1
In New York, the girls wcr taken to
a hotel which was a revelation of splen
dor to them. Aft-r a bewildering din
ner, theydrovetoa ladies furnishing

Sopli3's children. Here expensive out
fits were bought: bright and high-col-

Then the girls were entered at a fash

"We can't: we haven't a 113" money,
and it would offend Aunt Dorothy to

would not forgive us for offending her,

"I tell you, Dell." Sue .-aid. with
another passionate outburst. "I never
will go into that school-room again!
Whv, this school closes in two weeks.
How much polish can we get in two
weeks? And what's to become of us

burly t-ity-. and 1 wouldn't know which
way to get out of it. I'm afraid we
are lost. 1 can't help wishing we had
never -een Aunt Doroth.v."
At this point, the girls were sum
moned to the parlor to meet Mr. Ship
I3. lawyer, and went down trembling
and wondering. He had received a
telegram Iron, his client. Mr. Bean, he
said, charging him to lind two x-outig
ladies liv the name of Hopkins at
school in the city. Inquiries had leen
made in seventeen school-, and he was
happy in having at length found the
ladies, "though." he said, "I regret
the cause which made the search nee-essan-."
Hy this time Dell and Sue
were scared and breathless. Were
thev to be taken to jail? Perhaps the
woman who had put them in the school
was. a counterfeiter, and l- passing
money had entangled them.' Sue
thought

to make."
The girls waited with staring eves
and throbbing hearts for the next
word. "Your aunt. Mrs. Dorothy
Bean, is a woman of unsound mind,
and docs strange thing. She escapea

interesting description of the gagn
plant, ami the terrible effects on the
human -vstcm of drinking it- fer
mented juice: "It is a specie- of cac

Within half an hour after imbibing it.
the drinker becomes perfectly- stupid,
and lies around like Jog. The spll

time the native- .say thev live, in a

"Do white m-n drink it?"
"I have known -aiiors to try it. but
