his new $50 top coat was gone for

the train was due. "By Jove." he
suddenly exclaimed. Il left my

tinucd, pulling out of his pocket to
the amusement of his friends the

for Il second and then starting at Il
rapid pace for the hotel. Not until
his friends shouted after him with
laughter did he realize that he had

What sntlsncd Her.

4Uncle" Obad Wilson v could
bear to hear evil spoken of any one.
His wife used to say sometimes,
'Sakes alive, Obed, folks'll think We
don't know what's what eff We amt
keerful." The old man had IA nephew
who was famed throughout the neigh
bOrhOod of Jct1stown for his "shif'less-
ness" His farm was capable of yield
ing good returns, hut it amounted to
nothing in his hands, and Uncle
Obcd's soul was greatly tried: but no
one, not even Aunt Polly, could get
him to say anything severe about his
nephew Frank.
The only response he made to Aunt
Polly's vigorous and scornful remarks
was to say. gently, Easy there, naow,
Polly; easy there. my gal. Frank
does lack Judgment, mebbe; but then,
who don't?"
Lack jcdgment." Aunt Polly would
say, incapacitated by her wrath for
further speech; and there the CONVEX
sation always dropped. But one day
Aunt Polly had her revenge. and was
forever after contcnted. Whatever
her husband might say. she knew
that for once she had heard his real
opinion in regard to his shiftlcss re-
lations.
Uncle Obcd came home from his
ncphew's late in the afternoon, drove
into the barn, and stopped to attend
to the milking before coming into the
house. Aunt Polly went out to speak
to him in great vcXation of spirit.
She had planned to ask him if he
really cal'latcd any of Franks folks
was with losin' a hot supper fer;;" but
when she crossed the barn threshold
She changed her mind.
There, seated on the milking-stool
before old Bess in Il most detected at
titude, looking ab%stractedly at the
mig lantern which stood beside him
on the floor, was Uncle Obed. He
did not hear her approach. and as she
stood for IL moment in the doorway
she heard him say:
"The FARMS lookin'-an' they're
.ookin', tn whole lot on 'em-I
mustn't say so. o. course-mustn't let
Polly know, in special-but they suit
tinly air lookin' like tn last o. pea
time over t Franks"
AS he settled to his milking with q
sigh, Aunt Polly stole softly from the
barn, and when Uncle Obed's work
was done he had a good supper and
not Il cross word with it.
Aunt Polly v found any fault
with Franks folks" to her husband
after that. and whenever she heard
Uncle Obed defending what she
termed the RECKLESS doin's" at his
ncphew's, her face wore IA calm and
inscrutably satisfied smile which
greatly puzzled her mild-spokcn old
spouse.
