voted, too"
Julie gave a sly little glance at her
big old brother and something in her
eyes that had the hint of hunted
lawn passed over them. John, seeing
Sc, caught her in his arms, held her up
as II she were a child and kissed her,
then sat down with her on his lap and
said:

trouble. But he isn't, and never was,
and l wish you would quit thinking
about him, honey, for 1 know you al
ways are. I'm worth a ten-acre field of
such as him and you've got me-"
For answer to this Julie turned her
face TO her big brothers shoulder and
he said nothing more till she lifted her
tear-tinted cheeks and looked away,
trying TO hide the weakness.
"Never mind, honey" John con-
tinued, "I'm going to give you carte
blanche TO decorate the church for
Easter, and-how's your bonnet? Well,
you shall have the best one in the shop

a#GR in the iving-room, first
uASZoC on one foot then on the
y other, toasting the soles
of his heavy boots. He had just come
in from his work of repairing the
broken places in the worm fences on the
little blue grass farm which he had in
herited, and on which stood the log
house In which he had made his first
appearance on earth ffty-odd years be-
fore
Near by, that is to say, within mile
or so from Chihquspin hill, stood the
ancient village of Perley, whose spires
and other highest objects could be seen,
in almost any kind Of weather, from
the altitude of the farmhouse.
Jacques and Louise Micou, the foun-
ders Of the American Micou family. had
long ago gone to the last rest and their
children were out In the world, pros
porous people, heads of families whe
still spoke of Chinquapin hill as home"
and who with their children frequently
came to the old place for summerings,
Q few at a time, or many of them, as
circumstances were, and il was always
q haven when q haven was needed.
OF the sons and daughters of Jacques
and Louise there were two, however,
who had never left Chinquapin hill ex-
cept on social or business visits. They
were John and Julie. John you have
already met. He was the youngest son
Of the family and the master of Chin
quapin hill, and he had a glorious fam
lily of boys and girls, about a dozen in
all, and Mrs. John was yet a handsome,
white-haired, quiet and happy matron
Of fifty.
Julie was the "old maid" Of the fam
ly. She was trim and neat, demure and
forty-odd, sweet-fsced and sweet-man-
nered, beloved by the entire tribe and
the especial love and butt Of her III
most brawny yet tender brother John.
He rallied her about her old maid ways,
but frequently Rugged her like a bear,
when she came in his way, and always
released her with a gentle kiss.
Late in the afternoon of a soft day

early in the year of grace, 1893, while
John Micou was toasting the soles of
his boots before the fire, as he stood
first on one foot and then ON the other,
he was joking Julie as usual, and upon
his favorite theme.
Joe Thompson will be in at Easter,

A Ballad of whee, and Whoa.

A Ballad of Wheel and Whoa.
Lucky the poets who lived of old
In the golden age, ere the age of gold;
For Pegasus now Is played out, they say.
And the mount for q bard is a bike today.
All, many Tyre had snapped a string
OF yore II the wheel IL had mad to sing,
And the hoof beats of history. noble, sublime
Would never have echoed through following
timo.
How history would scorn, 1t is surely clear,
Tho midnight ride Of Paul Revere,
II that worthy man had ridden down
The stony streets Of the sleeping town
Scorching along on q twenty-four,
Shouting his warning at every door,
Wondering the while II his tires would last
Until his heroic ride was pnsti
Where would be Turpin without Black Bessf
Lost in the fog Of forgetfulness.
And Gilpin's ride we had nee enjoyed
Had that dashing blade a wheel employed.
Fancy the figure Duyal had made,
Clad In knickers of buff brocade
Stopping chaise on Hampstead mead
Astride nickel plated steedi
The muse historic well might weep
II Israel Putnam had made his leap,
Under the fire of redcoat hounds,
Astride OF rneer Of seventeen pounds
Imagine the ride from Ghent TO AK
Performed on bikes of the latest makes,
Or Sheridan twenty miles away
Pumping his tires at break Of day.
Alas, that the singers listening car
Tho clatter of hoofs no more shall hear,
When the hero gallops his charger brave
On mission of mercy to help or save.
Romantic rides he shall sing no more
For love or duty, in peace war.
lnstt ad he m1sst weave his song and tell
OF IA whiiling wheel and jHngling bell.
