Nice girl? You siy it. No well girl

V.l that dear mire diJn't shake her

called out t' that beast my opinion of

I mixed up with it. I shiver now, when
I think how I swore at that pore mure.
Kor a minute I forgot everything on'y't
I wanted my woids t' hit 'er a lick an'
scatter 'er all over town.
Then I see a white dies-', back on tho
veiandy, 'mongst tho blossom", an' -I
don't know what made me, but I looked
right over t' tho woman 't wore it. She
ruiM'tl up tho foielinger of her right
hand, like this an' shook it at me,
shakin' her head slow at the same time.
Iiul her faco? You ought t' have saw it.
Her mouth was smilin' pitiful like; but
hor Coi looked liko they was to sorry t'
see seen an angry, sweann' man 't tticy

might 'a' shambled. I never noticed.
I'd done forgot Jim's shiikin' an' all the
over bonis I'd worked an' nothin' so
pesky 's my wages como into my head.
It seemed liko it was on'y tho night
aforo that mother died, an' hor white
smilin' faco was lookin' oncet more on
her lwy 't nover'd blncked his lips with
a swear word. An' I couldn't think o'

see this city plainer n thet picture,
There was a. mountain, a rough one, an'
a road goin' over it. An' the rocks was
thet thick! I was climbin' over it all
alono in the dark, jes' gettin' my breath.
I was so tncd. Dark an rough an' np

over tho mountain edge, there como up
a, light, oh, such a light! I've saw
mighty fine sun-ups out eaily mornin's,

IIV KI'TII HALL.
"Folly, woman, sec hero a minute!"
said Amasa Andrews, opening the
kitchen door. "Whatever d'yo think.
I've had a letter fioni Uncle Joshuay!"'
"Not about the moggago? The old
skinflint!"
Mrs. Andrews turned an- nnxiou.s face
from the bread she was kneading.
"Xo ; 'taint nothin' o' that sort. It's a
leal fiiendly letter. He wants to borrow
our I'ultj lor a spell!"
"Hoi row Fatty! What in the wot Id "
'Well, there, you sco Folly," began her
husband, advancing with the letter in
his hand: '-Aunt Pally livos with 'ini;
he, foi years. An' thcie's her daughter
S.uah man iod lately. I s'posc it leave
her sort o' lonesome. Anyways ho says
lu liko t'ev Patty como for a w'le. It's
nat'ral 'miff. Shell wo let her go?"
"O, Amnssy, I liato to!"
Well we'll miss 'er; but 'tant for long
An' theio's the nioggage. Folly?"
"I know. Well; let's leave it f Fat
l'.ittf hor-olf was not averse to the
visit; but then she never was to any plan
of her elder.-.
"I'd jtis'iip lieve-." she said in her mild
little voice ; and George lamented, while
he wondered that he bad not been cho
sen instead.
So Aunt Folly packed the old-fa-h-ionod
caipet bag, anil Fncle Amas-a put
his Miuill uieeo in the i-tngo coach, under
the good natured driver's care, one frosty
morning in the lato fall.
Fatty never forgot that bri-k rolling
over the llinty roads, the glimpses over
tho iceUmnd river, o( farmhouses no
tled among leafless tree., of now and
then a child at a window who nodded or
waved her hand to her. And then, as
night fell, early and cold, they halted
before a long, low, led house, whore a
single light was binning, an J an old man
in a fur cap, with a lantern in his hand,
came to tho gate and called:
"Alnt got a littlo gal for me, 've he,
Silas'"
"lion jo be I" was the anwer, and
Fattv was. handed down. She was so
nearly asleep that it was like a dream,
her entrance into tho lighted kitchen,
her Mippur on kind Aunt Sally's lap, and
finally, her tucking into bed at that good
woman' motbeilv hands.
Hut the next morning when bieakfast
was over, Fatty followed t'ncle Joshua
out of door. "Kin 1 come with you?"'
she asked, slipping her little hand into
his hnrd, harh palm.
"I hh'd think ye'd like to sfny with
Aunt Sally'" ho replied, looking at her,
from under hi- cap brim. "SheV goin'
to make some pies, 1 guos."
'I'd rather go vvith you, an' mp the
calve, ef I nmyl" answered bia great
niece, timidly.
And w morning after morning, Fatty
would go to Aunt Sally with her hood
and little Mum I, and, wjule pins were be
ing fastened and string tied, she would
mV J!Ye don't mind ef I go out with
Uncle Joshua, do y Aunt Sally'"
AJunyn the mum ipieslwn and alnav
tho same answer: Lord love you dear
child, No I" Whilo the old woman mut
tered under her breath: ".Mebby 'twill
do some good. Who knows?''
Undo Joshua always stood in tho
doorway" during this dialogue, wjth a
great show of impatience and reluctance
to be 'bothered.'
'I sh'd think a littlo gal's place was in
th' house," he would remark, as he took
her hand! Hut he liked it. Hless yoti,
how he liked it!
And soon there was not a nook or
cranny in tho stable and barns that had
not caught tho light of Fatty's yellow
head, and heard tho tender cadence of
her voice
Onoday Aunt Sally accompanied them
to ho pui whore tho Christmas turkey
was confined. Whflo sho was wonder
ing at its sizo and promise, Mr. Andrews
said suddenly:
"Fatty, does ycr Undo Amassy talk
much about me, d'yo know?" 'With a
malicious twinkle under his bushy eye
brows. "Sometimes." Fatty hung her head.
''Oh, he does ; does ho?" "What does
ho call mo child?"
"An ol' Duffer," said Fatty, with hei
filifei' in i lev IIKil I ill.
Uncle Joshua turned and strode away,
flinging "Theie now, Sally!" over his
shoulder at his dismayed sister ns he
wont.
That night ho sat before the open
"Fianklin," in his great rocking-chair,
whilo Aunt Sally knittod in tho corner,
and Fatty, on the floor, unlaccd'hcr shoes
preparatory to going up-stairs.
"Yo liko us hore: don't ye Fatty9"
asked her uncle, finally, after a long
silence.
"Yes, sir; o' eourso I do." laying her
pink check against his knee.
Uncle Joshua's hard Hand wa very
light on tho yellow head, as he stroked
her hair.
"An' would ye like to live with u-V"
bo a-ked.
''All' not go home ever?''
"Why, yes mobby for a visit. Hut
live hero."
. I'atty laiscd hor head to staie at him.
"0, 1 couldn't, Uncle Joshuay; not to live
ve know. I think a lot o' you an' Aunt
Sally. Hut yo know th' folks -Undo
Amassy and Aunt Polly an' George, an'
George's my biolhcr1"
Uncle Joshua drew away his hand, and
Aunt Sally, in her corner, fi owned over
hor knitting.
Innocent Fatty went on presently, in
a musing tono : "This placo is awful
nice; but I like Uncle Amasy's jus' oz
well, I guess, if 'twasn't for fer th' niog
gage." "The what?"
"Th' moggago we've got on our faim t'
homo. Mike said so, an' George an' mo
we've hunted for it lots o' times." Tho
child's voico had grown low and feaiful,
atid sho knitted her brows as sho spoke:
"I'm sca't of it, too; it's somethin' Awful.
Cleorgo thought 'twas a bear, mebby ;
but Miko ho said 'twas more liko a wolf.
D' yo ever see one, Uncle Joshuay?''
The old man did not answer, but be
gan raking down the firo with a great
deal of noi.-e.
"Joshuay!" called hi.- si-ler winding
tho clock.
"Wal!" he snarled.
"Amasy Andrews' oz good a man '
over trod sole-leather. 1 declare ft r il
it's a shame."
"Shot up, Sally' Will ye''" Mr An
drews turned upon her. 'Amasy An
diews 's a shif'lesn creatine. I ain't no
u-o fer 'im."
Fatty sprang to hoi' feet, with her
shoes in her hand4. "You didn't ortcr
talk so!" she cried indignantly. "Uncle
Amasy's so good to mc!' and then she
broke down and criod.
"Sally, Uko that child to bed '"com
manded her uncle, and disappeared.
Fatty went homo soon after tin-, and
when the stage stopped -at the door,
Aunt Sally held her fust, saying between
tctu-, "Vo inn-' come ag'in, darlm'
Froiuiso us yo will," while Uncle Joshua
snapped in his cros-o.-t tones .
'()' conuo she'll come ag'iii. Don't be
a fool. Here, Fatly, come to me. Thats
somethin' to remember me by," thrust
ing a gold piece in her hand. "An" this '
holding un a little package, "ye tell ver
Aunt Folly to put in your stockm
U'lis'nius."
And then be look her to the stage.
When Fatty showed hei gifts to Ann'
Folly, at night, that worthy woman took
the money Itotwcen her thumb and tin
per; "Land sake!" she cried. "F.f that
don't beat till' It's a five dollar gu'd
piece, Amasy Andrews, sure's ye livi '
Who'd 'a' thought th' ol' nian'd 'a' acud
so liko folk-'"
"He's real good'" loyal Fattv in all
her excitement did not forget to say. '"I
like Uncle Jo.-huay fustrate. Oh! but
Aunt Folly, won't that buy my new
sliiies''''
The man and woman exchanged glan
ces, and then Mrs. Ambovvs stooped and
kissed hor niece.
The short winter days passed quickly.
One night at dusk the two oxoited chil
dren hung theii stockings in the chim
in'' corner liefiw they went up stairs to
bed The iui.t morning, in the dark
and cold, two littlo night-gowned figures,
crept down the back stairs, shivering
and sleepy, but happy Ivyoud words to
describe.
"Don't ye liHik' Don't yeda-s to look
till 1 got th' tire a-goin'1" commanded
George, as be lighted the lamp.
"Honest, I won't. Georgyl" his si-ter
piomisod, covering her . with her
ll.itiils.
'There; it's a-goin" Fin glad I lix't

"Mittens!" cried the hoy, diving into
his stocking.
"I-cggin's!" cried tho girl.
"Oh! I'atty, look 'ere, won't vo? A sled.

"Oh, tJeorgy! a dolll A lovelv. vteat

"That goo! news," aid I'ncle Ania-a
cheerfully, as w and his wife appeared
at the door. "Air V sati-fied, children?" i
But Fatty had, nt List, come to Uncle
Joshua's box.
"I'll cut th' string with my new knife,"
George cried. "Xow less look ; mebby
it's a gold watch and chain, Fattv."
" 'Taint nothin' but writin'," said the
child, bowildercd.
Uncle Amas.i took tho sheet with
trembling fingers. ''Heaven on' earth,"
be ejaculated, letting it fall tho next mo
ment. "It's that moggago made out to

"'I tend you what vv ill please you most,

So, a Merry Christmas to you all. From

sents what is wanted, in the often
heard expression, "Oh I I wish I
had the strength!" If you are
broken down, have not energy( or
feel as if life was hardly worth liv

stored to robust health and strength
by taking BROWN'S IRON BIT

medicine universally recommended
for all wasting diseases.
Sai N. Fremont St., Baltimore
During the war I was in
jured in the stomach by a piece
of a shell, and have sutlcred
fromiteversince. Aboutfour
years ago it brought on paraly
sis, which kept me in bed six
months, and the best doctors
in the city said I could not
live. I suffered fearfuy from
indigestion, and for over two
y;ars could not cat solid food
and for a large portion of the
timevvasunabletoretitineven
liquid nourishment. I tried
lirovvn's Irqn Bitters and now
after taking two.bottles I am
able to get up and go around
and am rapidly improving.

by n defective option of tho digestive organs,

lept iu view by Dr. Jayne in his treatment of
thoc complaint'. The use of Jayno's Ague
.Mixture, in conjunction with Jayno'n Sanative

accompany eaeh bottle, will not only
BREAK UP THE CHILLS,
