precincts OF the village. These young
savages were no respecterS OF persons.
They whooped and shouted under the
very windows of Judge Jones, whose
name usually inspired fear in the breast
OF large or small HilIporters. Nor did
they stand in awe of ministers of the
Gospel or show any regard for church.
In truth, they did not know the uses of
a church, beyond the fact that it vas q
lot of fun to throw stones at it while
people were within on Sunday morn
ings. And as for preacher, wasn't he
a creature whose long-taiied coat at
fOrded glorious opportunities for deco
ration which made laughter for the dec
orators? These were tho base uses to
which the Hunter children put sacred
beings and buildings. They did dozens
of other things equally hateful in the
eyes of the respectable portion of the
community; but with all their mischiev-
Gus instincts their depredations were
never absolutely fragrant and unendur-
able.

able of the townfOlk began to pity the
forlorn condition of tho young savages,

that their father was a shiftless soul.
who loafed three days for every one he
worked, and that their mother had lost
whatever spirit or energy she had once
possessed and was now merely enduring
existence until it ended. And as for
poverty, Hillporters had never really
known what it was until the Hunters
enlightened them.
One of the few persons who felt sorry
to see the little Hunters grow up so
neglected was Mrs. Raynor, whose
pretty home was not far from their
dreary dwelling. She made the ac-
quaintance of all of them, but had

could not realize that she had been
born to neglect poverty and all the I'M
happy results these two evils breed
Mrs. Raynor helped the poor little
runtaught soul to many innocent
pleasure and some substantia comforts.
c One raw autumn day she met Ruth on
the street in tears.
''What's the matter, Ruthie?" asked
the kind lady.

This blunt confession smote Mrs
Raynor to the heart.
"Don't cry. child, don't cry, I'll see il
you can't have some warm clothes and

hand and led her home.
That evening Mrs Raynor said to her
husband. George, want to bring little
