''She lives with the Hacketts. Woult
you like to see the house? Me and Dicl
has to go past it on the way home. Wei
show you"
"Yes, would like TO ace the house.
The boys arose, one of them rather
sleepily. They led the way across the
railway company's lot, then along a
sparsely built-up street, and around a
corner into n more populous but quiet
highway At the corner was grocery
and dry-goods store: beyond that were
neat and airy two-story houses, fronted
by yards closed in by iron fences. One
of these houses had little piazza. on
which sat two children. From the
half open door and from two windows
came light.
"That's Hackett's house." said one of
the boys
Thanks, very much,' replied the
tramp, continuing to walk with them.
The boys looked surprised at his not
| stopping at the house. but they said
nothing.
At the next corner the tramp spoke
up: II think I'll go back now. Good
night, youngsters.
! The boys trudged on. and the tramp
retraced his steps. When he reached
the Hacketts' house he paused at the
gate. The children, boy of eight and
. girl of six, looked at him curiously
from the piazza
"Are you Mr.. Hackett's little boy and
girl" he asked.
The girl stepped back to the hall
door and stood there. The boy looked
up at the tramp. and answered.: Yes,
sir
;,,D..
NO she's across the street at Mrs.
Johnsons."
She'll be back soon." added the girl.
"Grandmothcr's in, though" contin-
| ued the boy. Would you like to sec
| her?"
"No, no! Don't call her. just
| wanted to see your mother
DO you know mammal" inquired
the girl.
"Wcll-no! knew her brother. your
uncle"
I'VE haven't any uncle-except Uncle
George, and he's papa's BROTHER" said
the boy.
What! not an Uncle Will - Uncle
Will Kershaw?'
oh! yes" asscnted the boy. Did
you know him before he died? That
was long time ago"
