"Forevermorol'1 ' wails Mrs Tom
4iHow provokingl" cries Mrs Dick
' • But then he's reported rich , " assorts
Mrs Harry ; and if that is the case its
assuredly ono of those cases that circum
stances alter wonderfully "
"I dent believe ho's a " rich man , for
one ; " affirms Mrs Tom , looking ruefully
at the loiter in lior hand Why , when
I wrote to Uncle Job of nil the names I
do detest 'JoVcomess first when I wrote
and ever so delicately hinted I'd swal
low my prejudices ' '
"A terrible indigestible mass you'd
find 'em Boll /
And natdb1 Piantagonot 'Jbb'if it
would bb'to ih'o boys interest later in
life , what do you think ho saidi1"
"Hon't ask mo Ajhqt did ho BiyV"
His answer was torso enough and
bnof enough to bo ensily remembered
He wrote ; Dear niece , pray do not
saddle upon your son a name I novcr
should have chosen for myself had I
had the smallest choice in the matter
If j cu must cull him for seine biblical
pei-ionago , I should suggest 'Malhala-
leol as n cognomen euphonious enough
to harraonizo well with our family
name ; and believe mo Niece Isabel , ho
will have just as much of my good will
when I die if that is your desire as
if ho had "bosii named after your affoc-
tionulo uncle , Job Altic ' "
"Of course ho's as poor as poverty ,
then , Bel poor people are always the
witty ones , with sham answers over
ready at tongues or pens points Ono
of us ( or shall wo take turns ? ) will bo
sure to have old Undo Job fofstod upon
us ; and if it wasn't for those heavy
mortgages Harry has to clear off in the
spring , ho would not mind , I know , ono
oitru mouth to feed "
And if I had an extra bed room to
spare ? " says Mrs Dick
• And if I had an extra couple of ser
vantsl" wliincs Mrs Tom "To bo sure ,
if I could bo oortain that ho was n
wealthy man it would muko a vnst dif
ference ; and for the childron's snlco "
What a sordid sister-in-law I have
to bo euro ! " laughs Mrs Harry
Speaking of the children , Bol , how iB
Plunt's love affair coming on ? "
"It isn't ' 'on' ' nt all Ruth ; its off and
forever , Ihopol"
BelAltick what do you monn ? "
"I mean thai lie will novory marry
that good for nothing Nan "
Mark my words , ho will marry her
and neither you nor Tom nor your pro
posed hulress enn keep him from it
Nan's worth a dozen Gwendolines "
Then Tom will disinherit him and ,
though.ho's my own son , I shall not
blnmo his father " *
You hard hearted , raorconary
woman : " cries Mrs Harry , moving to
ward the door How you can deliber
ately go to wbrk to b > onk the heart of
so good , a bon as Plant Altlok I confess
IcaiiiioYcomproliond morning ,
Bol if you think its good seems to mo
if I were you I'd bo obliged to taste the
bittor'of ttoo many selfish reflections to
enjoy it muchl" And the hall door
closes with a bang between the sisters
in-law. -
And If Mrs , Harry's small left oar
burns a ? Bho takes her way down town
she knows that it is because Mrs Tom
nnd Mrs Dick uro figuratively pulling
her to pieces ; but she laughs therm to
scorn
So they will have none of Undo Job ;
so , qleo will her own hubband have none
ol his paternal relative ; and when the
old gentleman doe3 come , a fortnight
Jator , ho , Aloxandor-lilce , coolly cuts the
Gordtnn knot of this modern Phrygia

but taking lodgings at the Widow Blun-

there is no outward showing of the pre
sumptive wealth ol Prof Altlck , save
a penny1 now and then to the smaller fry

And as hoivoa simply nnd indulges

Undo Job , w'hohas begun a how work
on geology , shuts himsolt up in his
third story back room and allows the

And it soon begins to wag In a very

It was a very humble position thnt
the college-bred Planiagonot Altick
found himself obliged to accept to keep
the little house going the only posi
tion open to him when lierbcsido liim-
bolf with a just iudignatiou at an unrea
sonable opposition and a great and ab
sorbing love , , broke bounds and he-
sought the faithful Nan to leave her po
sition as governess in a wealthy family
and shnro his livd-rodtned cottage null
his mougor salary
Nan , too used to po\erty to let it
frighten her , nnd imagining , innocent
soul , that no ono could long bo angry tit
so dear ahoy as Plant , consented ; and
the homecoming , though a lonubomo
little affair , brought with it nappmoss
enough to last a fortnight , at least
Thoa Piantagonot saw that there waste
to bo no relenting on the part of thee
he loved and reverenCed with all the
strength of his boyish nature v , and his
grief grow greater with every passing
hour To crown all , ho has lost his po
sition the second week in the Novom-
bcr following , owing to the infeolvonoy
of the firm by which he hud > been em
ployed ; nnd tnongh they haVe given
him a splendid recommendation , there
is no position easily obtainable
Ono morning a stray thought , finding
its way from out that great , mysterious
silence so full of untried possibilities ,
comes to him suddenly and sends him
upon his own little errand straight to
Uncle Job
Up a long flight of front stairs up a
short bade flight , nnd several knocks
upon a doors panel cause it to open nnd
discover to young Altick a room lit
tered with papers , books , trays of speci
mens and two or three volumes of Hugh
Mlllor
Good morning , Undo Jobl"
How dye do , Piantagonot ? '

Late upon this sumo afternoon Prof

I It is too much for Tom Altick With
I a laugh that fotchea Mrs , Tom quickly
I from an udjolning room nnd provokes
I her to join in ita hearty roulades , he
I declines the poor fowl , with thanks ,
I with a sarcasm roiled so lightly that
mmmmmammmm
the Ugly features of a ruilo nnd insolent
nature shine full upon poor Undo Job
Quietly h * roplncos the turkey within
the bnskof qnlotlv ho takes his hat and

As for Hlounrd Altick , ho roars

It 'U the same thing ever again , save
that Henry Alttek's refusal to accept
the wixoned bird is moro politely
veiled Gentle Mrs Harry even makes
fnrtivo llttlo signs of nccoptanro to iter
courteous husband ; but that Individual ,
secretly enjoying the comical side of
the affair too muoh to tiotlco the per
force stealtliy signals of his wlfo , allows
poor Undo deb to take his wuros to
other marts
Tlirough Nan's kitchen door comes
the sweet sound of her singing Pinn-

Job has irlVcn thom a " ( Ivor" to Blurt

before her , awaiting its , fragrant dress

Thanksgiving morning tnan for tnuny

giowlng lighter at each merry measure
- and hur song roaches Uncle Job , who

Why , Undo Job how hire of joil !

The auction sale which is now in progress at our H
store has caused so many inquiries that we take H
this method to answer the inquiries and inform the public at H
the same time The object of the saleis not , as some have ' ' ' ' |
asserted , to get rid of our old stock for the best of reasons , Ml |
we have none Nor is it a holiday scheme to get the 'H
trade but it is as advertised , to close the retail depart |
ment of our jewelry business which we have been desirous ' , ' , |
of-doing for many months , and having failed to find a cus- 'il '
tomer to purchase the stock entire , and to put the stock in- fj |
to our wholesale department not being feasible , we have ' f |
determined upon an auction sale of bur entire stock of diamonds - \ M
mends , fancy goods , art goods , and all Without limit or \ M
reserve of one single article We invite all to attend these M
sales , which will be held daily for the next thirty days ( if not , H
disposed of before ) andsee if this statement is not a fact ' |
