Sure enough! There he found Un cle Sammy sitting behind a long ta ble. And behind him were shelves fpaded with apples, pears, coru, nuts and many other '"tids of food. "I'd like to buy some nuts." Sandy Chipmunk told the old gentleman. , "Nuts ?' said Uncle Sammy. "I nave some fine nuts.

And he wished he had never given Uncle Sammy any samples of his wheat. But he knew - there was no nse of appearing angry. So he smiled andasked: "What is the price of your beech nuts?" . ' "For one handful, you will have to pay me an car of com," Uncle Sam my said. ' "I'll take a handful,", said Sandy. ' Still the old fellow never stirred. ' "Where's your ear of corn?" he inquired. i : "Oh! -I'll give you that the next time I pas! this, way," said Sandy. And he made up his mind that he uuiild take good care to keep away from Uncle Sammy's house, "But .Uncle Sammy Coon was too sharp. ("That won't do at all," he said. "I must have the corn before I givtf'yoti the nuts." - So Sandy Chipmunk stepped to the door. , - " ...... . . 1 t A . 1 1 11 come uac,K soon, ne sam. abu he ran all the way to Farmer Green's 'cornfield, to get an ear of green corn. And then he ran all the way back to Uncle Sammy's house. "Thercl" Sandy said. "There's rour enr of corn!" He laid it upon - the table. "Now give me a handful of 1eechmits." . "Step right in and help yourself," .Uncle Sammy answered. "No!" raid Sanely. "You give me the nuts." He knew that Uncle Sam my's hands tvere much bigger than his own and would hold more. nut3. "I should think you might g:t them." the old scamo grumbled. "I've a lame knee, you know." - ' "But I said a 'han-lful' not a Tcneeful,'" Sandy answered. "Of course, if you don't .want thisjuicy . ear of corn, there arc others that "would like It." He started to pick the ear of corn 'off the table when Uncle S-Miuuv rose quickly, v -All right!" he' cried. "But V the old-fashioned way: and I don't , like it." Then he gave Sandy a small '' hn" df ul of beechnuts, idiwtir fliJnmiinlr afp them richt on the spot.. And he began to feel very " happy. He had noticed tjliat Uncle Sammy tossed the ear of corn into a basket which stood beneath the ta ble. And the basket was full of corn. Sandy could reach it just as easily from the front of the table as Un cle Sammy could from behind it. And Sandy Chipmunk had thought all at once of a way to get a good many nuts away from L'ncle Sammy, to pay for all the wheat Uncle Sam my had eaten. -Ty - Mother Graham Worried Madge. . v weather must be changing, Margaret. Its very cold 111 here. I wish you'd start a fire in the grate." I looked at my mother-inrlavv keenly. She had slept late as, in deed, had we all upon the. morning following Leila's wedding,' 'but she had appeared unusually languid, and tired at the breakfast table, and the request' for a fire startled me as the day was an unusually warm one. - She was sitting in a sort of hud dled position in her chair, and I ob served that the hands with which she was mending one of Juniot's little suits were shaking. ' f "I am afraid you are not feeling well, mother," 1 said solicitously. "Don't you think you would better put that up and lie down? I am afraid vou have a chill!" "Chill!" she exploded. "If it's a sign of a chill for an old woman to wnt a bit of fire on a cold day, why them I must have one. You get along and fix that fire unless, of course, you do not wish to use the wood or take the trouble to build it." She had drawn herself erecin her wrath, and I saw with dismav that her 'checks were flushed, while her eyes had a curious, inflamed, watery appearance as if she had been weep ing. . - ! Influenza! The' dreaded word seemed to resound In my ears from the depths of an alarmed conscious ness from which it had sprung. I knew the invariable symptoms, for Dicky, Junior, Katie, Jim and my self had had mild attacks of the disease at intervals during the win ter. - Both my mother-in-law and my father had escaped, something for which I was profoundly grate ful. ' J Illness Threatens.! i But I was very sure that Mother Graham was "coming . down" with it, and I was wildly anxious to get her to bed and begin to minister to her as soon as possible.- , I knew better, however, than to say any thing more about it for a few min utes. She was in one. of the can tankerous moods when any insist ence on my part would have sent her" info an unreasoning rage. .That she Was perfectly capable of going out and getting the fuej tojwild the fire if I did not hasten, I Tuiew per fectly well. ' ,. : So I rose hurriedly and went to the -.door, tossin back the protest I knew she wanted over my ' shoul der1 M ' "How perfectly absurd, mother 1" I said.v "You know I'm only too glad to builti you a fire at any .time." . On my way out to?. the .woodpile at. the back ;of the house I tapped lightly on my father's door, where, by a chance for for which I blessed my lucky stars, Jie had taken Junior for one of the romps the little chap loves. -' I r ; . Mother Graham's ; Orders. ' ."Father, dear," I whispered hur riedly when he had opened the door. "I am afraid Mother Graham - is coming down with an attack of in fluenza, although she herself will not admit it. Will you put on Jun ior's .things and takevJiim outdoors immediately? I don't'want him to get into the room with her." " "Of course you don't," my father, whispered back. ''.J! vtake him out at once. But my darling be care- j tui yourselt." s ., s i was absurdly pleased as I .sped down the hall that hcfMd uttered no protest against ujyacting as nurse, as so many fathers' would have done. That he understood I could and would do nothing else, and that he approved, I was as sure as I was that his heart was torn with anxiety for me. With .1. basket of chips in one hand and an armful of light wood held in the other arm, I. hurried back to the sitting room, and in a short time had, a wonderful . fire blazing in the grate. It made the room so warm that I felt most un , comfortable, but Mother Graham moved her chair close to the blaze, and bent over it with outstretched hands as if ( she could not get warmed even with its aid. "Would you like a cup of hot tea. mpther?" I asked, knowing it would be useless to propose anything more strenuous until she herself should admit that she was ill. "I'd like something?" she retorted tartly. "I'm freezing to death. AVhat are you doing running arousd in that thin house dress without your sweater? Go and put it on at once, and then make. me some tea. You'll be catching your death of cold, and then I'll have you ton my hands for a siege." ' If I had not known from long ex perience how loyally and devotedly my mother-in-law would nurse me through any illness, no matter how severe, I should have felt aggrieved at her ungraciousness. As it was, the only emotion I experienced be sides my ever-mounting anxiety for her, was annoyance at the prospect of having to wear a sweater in that overheated room. If I could only discipline her, I reflected, a& one would a refractory child, the problem of caring for her would be much simplified. As it was, I foresaw an arduous task be fore me.
