I t was Grandma Foster who was to

her daughter, Farm er Stebbins’ wife,
and found her niece H attie teaching
the district school and engaged to be
married to a worthy young man named
Hiram Ball. Miss H a ttie was fairly
educated, fairly good looking and very
well contented w ith her life.
Grandma's coming, however, started
the fire* of ambition. Once during her
long Ufa the old lady bad attended a
theatrical performance. It was In the
town hall of her native village. The
play was “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” of
course, and the company was made up
