UNCLE MALACHI'S MONEY
BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.

1t was on the Sd of May, a brilliant
spring day, with the jonquils and daffo-
dis all in blossom, the great white peo-
MES, bursting like balls of snow Through
their green calyxes, and the grass on
the upland pastures as soft and deli
cately tinted as velvet; and even poor
Mrs Crofton, wearied and over-worked
though she was, felt something of the
sweet spring influences pass into her
soul, as she stood on the door-sill, but
tering bake-pan for the Saturday loaf
of raisin cake.
otis lovely day" said Mrs. Crofton,
'And somehow the smell O them daily
downdillies reminds me of when Il was
girl, Dear, dear! how time flies, to
be SURE But there's touch Of chill in
the air, all the same; and | doubt if it's
safe for Uncle Malachi to sit out much
longer"
And she went, bake-pan and all,
around the corner of the house, to the
paved space in front of the south wing,
where, in wooden arm-cl r, sat lit
tie old man, yellowfaced and wrinkled,
with one-sided wig pulled over his left
eye, patch work-covered pillow at his
back and a wooden blanket wrapped
around him. "You'd better let me
wheel you in, Uncle Malachi" said she,

of the house and you've been out here

thing l ever saw that people can't be

Mrs. Crofton's dim eyes lighted NJ
with CLEAN of excitement.
"Uncle Malachi" said she, Chow
much money have you got, anyhow ?"
The old man screwed up his withere'
features like an attenuated monkey.
"Ah-h-hw said he, "don't you wis

Mrs. Crofton was quite used to tn
