pecially as she acknowledged that she
hadn't heard nothin' about Mr.. Silas
an his ways" since he left his home to
seek his fortune in South America, so
many years ago.
So Gertie took great pains to be very
polite and attentive to Uncle Silas, and
especially in the evenings, when Uncle
John went out for his solitary walk.
She had begun to pride herself upon
the impression she was making, when
one night he suddenly inquired;
Are you the one with a theory
about the boy and the needle and
workbag?"
mo, that was Nellie" she stam-
mered, while she vainly tried to recall
her own disparaging remarks about
the listener on that memorable after
noon.
But whatever Uncle Silas had over
heard, he evidently was not angry, for
he seemed to be enjoying her en-
barrassment.
But you mended my coat" he per-
sisted.
"N-no, that was Nellie, too"
''Oh, / begin to see. Nellie found
the gold piece, and you spent it; call
that fair division of labor"
Il made her keep it." said Nellie,
quickly coming to the rescue of her
unhappy sister. "Gertie tried to give
it to me, but there was nothing | hap
pened to want, SO wouldn't take it. "
"Oh," said Uncle Silas, then ap-
parently Gertie did want something
Just at that moment?"
"Pm always wanting something, >
murmured Gertle. Il do wish | was
rich!"
Uncle Silas actually chuckled over
this reply; then, as Nellie became alb
sorbed in her book again, he bent for
ward and laid has bony hand upon
Gertie's arm.
You're smart" he said, land you'll
be rich, too, one of those days, or Pll
miss my guess.
Then he began to relate such mar
velous stories of the wealth of South
America that she was more than ever
convinced he had not returned from
there without fortune.

II ever L have the management of a
boy III bring him up to sew and to
keep his own clothes in apple-pie Or

| scissors and well-stocked workbag,
and he shall learn to handle needle

| something slipped down between the
lining and the outside, Gertie-a FIVE
dollar gold piece! I'm glad Uncle Sam
brought it to you, after all, else he
| might never have seen his money
again. Nellie's fingers flew rapidly,
| and it was not long before she ex-
claimed: There! it's finished now, as
well as can do it. You'd better take
it right back to him, and the gold
| piece, too"
Gertie disappeared, but in moment
she returned with flushed face, and,
dropping the gold piece into Nellie's
| lap, she stammered:
"He-he told me to keep it for mend
ing the coat, and IL hadn't courage
to tell him l didn't do it; so it's yours
for | sha'n't take it. And Nellie, in
spite of his looking so shabby, l be-

| Uncle John!' +
90, Gertie!' cried Nellie, indignant
ly. NO, you must keep it, for he gave
it to you. But If he's ever so rich, I'd
be ashamed to talk so when Uncle
John has been SO kind. What would
we have done when mother died if he
had not been willing to give us home
And didn't he promise to take care of
us at school until we were old enough
| to teach and support ourselves? It's
| very ungrateful to say Uncle Silas is
nicer, just because he has given you a
bright gold piece!''
| Gertie was quite nnmoved by her
| sisters Indignation; out finding that
| Nellie utterly refused to share her sud
den bright anticipations, she finally
descended to the kitchen and took old
| Susan into her confidence, much to
| that good woman's astonishment.

And yet its columns represent

That in our refuse basket lay,
We're written with an end in view
And eost-Well, let the printers say.

Which tidings brings from far away,
Is dearer than the choicest bard
To walters anxious from delay.

When not a word of love they say:

For classic journals to display;
You bring them back-as many times
Returned with thanks, is all they say.

with, I'm sure!"
Living here practically on Uncle
Johns charity don't you think we had
better leave him entirely out of the
question:" asked Nellie. .....-
"Even when he goes about spying
and criticising everything we do? And
worries old Susan's life almost out,
looking into the soup pot and adding
more water for fear it won't go 'round?"
In spite of herself Nellie laughed
gaily.
''Its no laughing matter" her sister
declared. Besides, if Uncle John isn't
glad to see his own bro ther, / don't see
why we should pretend to be-"
"But I'm not going to pretend at
all"
Gertrude! Helen!-one of you come
down. cried a grutf voice from below.
And Nellie, obeying the summons,
found Uncle John in the dim sitting
room with his newly-arrived and evil
IDENTIFY unwelcome guess.
Left alone, Gertie still pondered over
the unexpected letter which that morn
ing had announced to Uncle John the
almost immediate arrival of the brother
he had not seen for a quarter of cen
tury, and the orders which old Susan
had thereupon received to practice
various extra economies which might
tend to shorten the stay. of the un-
wished-for visitor. SO supper that
nigh. proved an even more frugal and
unsocial meal than usual. Uncle John
preserved his Gust mary grim silence;
the two girls were always overawed
and quiet in his presence, while the
newcomer seemed occupied in exam
ining his surroundings.
"Well. brother" he remarked, at
last, though some things seem to
point to the contrary, l am inclined to
believe that you have prospered dur
ing these last five-and-twenty years?'
A growl came from the grim figure
at the head of the table, but the words:
"You certainly have not prospered, to
judge from appearances" were quite
audible.
But you can't always judge from
appearances, was the newcomers cool
reply. .E.ss-. @ls. .ssE.sS
His retort apparently missed its eff
feet upon all but Gertie, and she began
to wonder if this shabby stranger
might not possibly prove kind of
fairy godfather in disguise. But the
next afternoon she burst suddenly into
the room where her sister was deep in
her book
well, what do you suppose he wants
me to do?'' she cried. Look at this
wretched old coat, with pockets torn
out and the facing in ribbons; well,
this fine new uncle has. coolly re-
quested me to mend it for him! Did
you ever hear of such a thing? Why
don't he take it to a tailor? It's all in
rags-and I'm not going to do itn'.
Nellie took the dilapidated garment,
while slight wrinkle appeared on
her usually smooth young brow. 1t
quickly vanished, however, and she
reached for her workbox.
You aren't going to do it? | wouldn't
