me think 50 is because it was such q
good one to Aunt Mildred and Uncle
GeOrge-though he was not nv uncle
vet, thsn-and they say II it hadn't
been for me they wouldn't have had
such a good Christmas And reckon
il ! hadn't been SO anxious To work and
earn something, things never would
nave happened just rs they did. Ny
pa died when l was just little fellow.
and Bly Amt Mildred earned nearly
everything we had after that teach
aDg music, for my ma was sick nearly
all the time. While my pa lived we
had plenty, but everything he had was
invested in a bank, and the bank failed
coon after he died. People said that If
ne had lived the bank wouldn't have
failed; and they think the man that
was IN with him cheated my ma out Of
what onght 10 have been hers.
For the last three or four wears I
nave been earning a nickel YVhenever.I
could by carrying parcels or running
errands. OF something of that sort: but
last winter I just made up my mind
that q great big boy eleven years old
could do something harder than that;
SO when a big snow fell a week or two
before Christmas started out 10 shovel
snow for people. There was Mrs. Bron-
son, living upon Foarth street that had
always been mighty good about giving
me little jobs to do, and l went to her
first She let me shovel the snow off
Of all the walks for her, and paid me a
good price for it; and then she went
and brought out an oEereoat Of Mr.
Bronson's that she said he would not
wear any more though It WAS real
good, all bnt on the sleeves and ON the
edge of it, and wanted to know if my
maseQnld not cut 1t down for me. I
knew ma could do it, for she had made
lots OF things for me out of pas old
clothes. and ! needed an oVereoat, too;
bat hated TO take such a thing from
a stranger, and nay face burned like
IRE. But she offered it in such a nice
way, like she was afraid of hurting my
feelings, and her face looked like it
was burning, too, so thought maybe
I'D better take it, and told her / sYould
take it If she would let me do some
thing 10 pay Tor it'll didn't feel like i
could take it for nothing it seemed 50

IN, and yellsd out: burglars Help,

but Aunt Mildred said: ssStop, step.
Harry, Then be let her 60. and she
sort O laughed and blushed and said:
Harry, this is not a burglar, but q
man that IS going to be your uncle be-
lore dong.
1on see, 1t was this way: They got
to be sTeethearts five. years ago when
Amt Mildred WAS at boarding school,
and Mr. Bronson--Unele George 1t Is
noSF--was tending law school in the
same place. They wanted 10 marry !
out grandpa said Aunt Mildred was too
young to marry but he let her core
spend with Uncle George after they
both left school. But when Uncle
Georges brother forgot 10 give him
that letter he waited and waited. and
then he Thought M ildrsd had quit,
writing to him and he went of out
west. He had. never told his. folks allv-
thing about having q sweetheart. and
they didn't know what was the matter
with him. His brother had taken the
letter ont of the office aud put it in his
pocket with other letters, and when it
slipped down ont OF sight be never
thought of it again.
Aunt Mildred was just like Uncle.
Ge9rgei she Thought he had quit writing
10 her, and she never said anything
about him. Grandpa died about that
time, and she came to live with us, ard
all the money she had was put into the
bank With pa and lost the same way.
Vel, you see when Mrs. Bronson got
hold Of that letter she sent it to her
brotheT-in-law- Uncle George.
you know--and told him how q boy
naned Harry Floyd lad found il, IN her
husband 5 cid coat; and when he got
the letter he saw just how 1t ali was.
and as my name is lloyd, he thought j
must be sqne kin to Aunt Mildred; $50
lac came back here as quick rs he could
and found cut where we lived, and
came and found Aunt Mildred here.
And that's howl happened 10 be the
cause Of him and Amt Mildred having
sneh a Eaerry7 Christmas last year.
Uneae George IS q pretty sharp law
