"Bad luck to the house clanin it
makes body so cross" said Biddy,
"for swate lady she is when there's
no such doin's around but her
ould uncle's comm, ye see, and so
it makes throuble We know"
A queer smile fitted over the
old mans face, but it was succeed
ed by look of sadness, as he
limped away.
After a hot chase, Mr.. Burton
succeeded in overtaking the aston
ished peddler, and oyerhauling his
load, the important papers were
rescued, and a five dollar bill paid
to the insulted dealer in rags then
Mr.. Burton retraced his steps
wearily to his store. Soon after
his brother Robert entered.
"News, Henry" he exclaimed,
Uncle Gregory has arrived 7"
'Indeed ! i am very much sur
prised," responded his brother,
"we did not expect him till next
week."
"IIe's an odity," laughed Robert
"He came to my house and pre-
tended to be book agent, or some
thing Of the kind, said he was very
tired and wanted to rest for awhile,
so my wife got nice easy chair for
him, and gave him good dinner.
You know Mary has a very kind
heart, and she pitted the lame old
man, who looked so sad and weary,
and when he told her he was ac-
quainted with me and would like
to spend the night at our house,
she smilingly assented. wonder at
her, for we are house cleaning, and
there is more work than Mary
ought to do, but she takes things
easy. She inst cleans one room at
time, and the house is never in
an uproar. Well, the old gent
made himself very agreeable, and
when went home he revealed him.
self in his true character, no other
than our eccentric Uncle Gregory"
The chagrin Of Mrs. Burton can
be imagined when she discovered
her uncle's "ruse." But her hum
be apology did not win the old
gentlemsn's forgiveness. He never
spent much time at her residence,
but seemed very happy at Roberts,
and be lavished his money freely
upon Mary and her children. Poor
Bessie she often saw them riding
by in uncle Gregory's handsome
carriage, and she bitterly regretted
her lack Of kindness on that event
