"Let's rest then," returned Ralph, and they sought the shade of cluster of hasels growing in . corner of the fence. At that moment . rustling among the bushes of the field adjoining caused them to stand up in alright. A scratching, scrambling through the old rail fence, . few bounds of some heavy body, and
 >"It's Tobe tits Tobel" screamed Ralph in the intensity of his relief, but there was perceptible tremble of the little hands as they stroked his shaggy coat, and encouraged him in his Demonstrations of delight.
 "You can run away, too, Tobe," said Ralph, and as if understanding the words he bounded off, and the tired feet once more commenced their weary march along the dusty roadside.
 The top of the next long hill was reached, and far below them lay the little market town, with its roofs bak- ing in the afternoon sunlight. Up the long lane 6 carriage was whirling toward them in a cloud of dust. As it neared the dusty wayfarers, the driver drew up his horses with & sharp "whoa !" and a smooth-faced, kindly old man looked out of the window and exclaimed:
 "Why, God bless my soul!"
 Then a motherly old woman looked out through trimmed spectacles and ejaculated
 "Twips, too, as l live !"
 "John's, I'll bet shoestring !" cried the old man, jumping hastily out ; "what's your name my little man?"
 "Im Ralphie, and we's runned"- but he didn't say any more, for Grand father Parlin had them both in his arms, and his black broadcloth was fast assuming & dusty gray. Even Grandmother Parlin's black alpaca, of which she has so long taken such scru- pulous care, didn't look any better than grandfather's coat at the end of five minutes, and the penitential tears of one of the twins were fast render ing certaining spots ineradicable.
 As the carriage from the station drew up at Farmer Minturn's front gate the old couple were met by an almost frantic daughter. The reaper was standing idle in the field and the harvesters engaged in fruitless search over the neighboring hills.
 Quiet came to the farmhouse with the summer dusk, and as Mamma Minturn hugged two little drowsy, white-clad forms at the bedside, a sleepy voice murmured:
 "We runned away, but we found gran'ms"
 To which the other twin added, "An' gran'pa."-DetroH Free Press.

THE TWINS ESCAPE.
BY HOLLIS W. FIELD


 Farmer Minturn's wife was wash ing in the shady square of the house, there was dinner to get for harvesters, And the washboard was giving vent to exceptionally vicious snarls.
 "You youngsters keep inside this yard" cautioned the good woman in wash. day tone. I've got no time to run after you this morning." and the washboard snsrled again.
 The twins looked at one another lugubriously. Lonesome, ain't it2'' whined Ralph.
 "Awful," echoed Ray, digging a bare toe into the ground.
 "Wish l was a--a frog" for want of better comparison.
 "Guess I'd stone you if you was, " returned Ray, with grave, unconscious humor.
 Mrs. Minturn shouldn't have gone just then with & basket of clothes to the clothes-line, and why, of all things, should that tub of rinsing water have been standing there so temptingly full and clear?
 "O-o- oh :" cried one of the twins, "I know-boats w and when Mrs. Minturn came back the twins were on their knees with the tub between them and Ralph was crying:
 "Here she goes to Chi-"snd would have probably added the syllable "na, 1" if he hadn't looked up.
 "You mischievous little wretches ?" and two squirming little bodies were wriggling in Mamma Minturn's out ragged grasp. "Leave here, now don't let me see you again this morn- ingp and the twins sought refuge under the big maple in far corner of the yard.
 "Ain't she awful2" queired Ray, with tremor of his under lip.
 "Dre'fulI' sssented Ralph; "won- der how she'd feel if we's to die-or runned away?"
 "Oh, let's!" and Rays chubby little face wore an Innocently desperate look as he started up.
 As the little ones turned away from the gate, old Tobe rose from his favor ite resting place by the front stoop, and started after them, with 8 ques- tioning look in his brow eyes.
 "Go back, Tobe !-go back, sir I" missed Ralph, in low, menacing tone, and in obedience to his small dictator, the old dog lay down again with an uneasy whine.
 Down the long lane, over the stony hill, and across the little stream which babbled contentedly over the stones, patiently cleansing itself from the passage of every cart-wheel, the little feet plodded sturdily on in the hot July sun.
 "We's most runned away now, hasn't wei" queried Ray, plaintively.
 "No," returned Ralph, doggedly.
 "An' we ain't goin' back, now?" questioned Ray.
 .Now 1" repeated Rslgh, scornfully. @Why we ain't ever goin' backl'
 "Ps awful tired, Ralphie," 1" protested Ray, piteously.

This evening President Curtis delivered
tHt ANNUAL hIIftss III ASSOCIATION HAL
There was a large audience and many ladies'
were present. Mr.. Curtis referred to the
change in the administration since the last
annual meeting. He said in the election of
Harrison the country had declared as strongly
for civil service reform as for protection,
since the republican party and its candidates
were pledged to both. He quoted from the
administration party organs from all parts of
the | nited States to show their outspoken
opposition to civil service reform, and said
this was echoel by party assemblies He
instanced many eases TO show that Harrison
was not unfolding civil service reform. He
declared that during tie nine years exist
ence of the league reform has not been the
practice of either party, but nevertheless it
has steadily advanced.
Hon Wayne MacVeagh presided at the
evening meeting, and in introducing George
William Curtis took occasion to briefly
eulosize that gentleman, his remarks being
enthusiastically applauded.
