"In the first place, it's too dreadful
to be true, and in the next place he
would have told u.s." said Peggy.
But it really proved to be true. Mr..
Pigeons sister-his own sisterI-had
gone to law to obtain share of her
grandfather's estate, which he had
failed to bequeath tn her because she
had gone contrary to his wishes IN
some way, and the only share that she
would have was that old estate on
Pippin Hill. Perhaps the law might
force her to take something else as
her share, since he had held possess
sion there 50 long; but she was Hitty,
and he should give it up to her. That
was what Mr.. Pigeon said in answer
to the indignant remonstrances of the
Bells. She was Hitty; that was all
he would say; perhaps II wasn't much
of n reason, but the Bells understood.
We all know what it is to give up things
to people just because they are Iky
or Polly or John.
So it happened that the Bells dear

that he owned down at Pequanket Mills
and Miss Mehitable Pigeon came to live
at the old place on Pippin Hill and
owned half of the high-top sweeting
tree.
And the very first thing she did
1t was September when she came-was
to threaten to have Tommy Bell ar
rested, because when he shook their
side of the tree her side shook too, and
she said the top of the tree leaned to-
ward their side and more apples fell
there, so when the apples were picked
and divided she must have an extra
bushel. She threatened to have their
yellow kitten drowned because he
scampered after the flying leaves in her
garden, and, she did have their cross
gobbler killed because it ran after her
red morning gown, as gobbler will
you know, and gobbled at her. lie
WASH 'tmuch loss, and she sent him home
plucked and dressed, with the message
that she should have eaten him if she
had not feared he would be tough.
She complained that Becky's peacock
squawlSed and Dicky's guinea pigs
squeaked, and the vane on their stable
had "a rusty squeak" that kept her
awake nights; and if one of the little
Bells mounted the fence she came out
and "shooed" him off as if he were q
chicken.
Christine, who was inclined to look or
the bright side and to think we'll of every
one, said that she would probably grow
better when they got better acquainted
and she gave Tommy and little Rufus
five cents each not to use their bean
singers over the fence or make faces
through the knothole.

But instead of growing better their
new neighbor grew worse. She had the
mutual fence built up ten feet high, she
had the branches of the sweeting tree
Topped off where they interfered with
the fence, and Christines seat thrown
down to The ground so roughly that it
was broken. She said she had let peo-
pie impose upon her all her life, and she
wasn't going to amy more.
Papa Bell, who was an easy man and
absorbed in his business, said he sup
posed that so many children and squeak
ing things did make them troublesome
neighbors; but he thought they should
have tc demonstrate with Miss Pigeon
about the fence, because it took away so
much of their sunshine. Christine begged
him to wait; she always would believe
that people were going to be better, and
she knew there must be something good
about Miss Pigeon because she looked
like her brother-"only the twist
seemed to be in her mind, poor thing!"
1t was November when Christine's
seat was thrown out of the tree, so she
could nothave used it any more that sea-
son any way: and when anyone asked her
how she was going to do without it in
the spring, she always answered.: "Per-
haps Miss Hitty will be good by that
time" But that transformation didn't
seem in the least likely to anyone else.
She never forgot that Mr.. Pigeon had
said she was jiitty. though how she
could ever be Hitty to anybody was more
than the other young Bells could under
stand.
Christine would bow to her, too, and
smile. shyly, although Miss Pigeon only
scowled dreadfully in response. Far
more difficult to forgive than their own
wrongs was the injury she had inflicted
upon her brother. He wrote to them
doleful letters which showed plainly
how homesick he was for the good air
and the goodfellowship of Pippin Hill
One of the neighbors who saw him at
Pequanket said one would hardly know
him-he had "pined away" so.

returned the five cents to Christine, be-
cause he knew he should yield to the
temptation to make faces through the
knothole again.
Christine turned q littlepale when she
heard this about Mr.. Pigeon, and she
put on her thinking cap. She couldn't
go to school like the others, she couldn't
go skating; in fact, there were SO many
things she couldn't do that it would
have been very discouraging to one who
believes less firmly than Christine did
that things as we'll as people were going
to be better; but that gave her all the
more time to wear her thinking cap.
And Christine's thoughts were pretty
apt to blossom into deeds some way.
Christine had made the Christmas
wreaths of evergreen and holly from
their own Pippin Hill woods, and she
had sent two beauties to Miss Pigeon,
who had promptly returned them with
the message that she didn't want such
rubbish littering up her house. Now
when they heard that sad news from Mr..
Pigeon she was making valentines. She
had very dainty knack with both pen
Gil and brush, for a 14-year-old girl, and
her valentines were more beautiful
than any that could be bought in the
shops, or so the Bloomsboro' young peo-
pie all thought.
The fashion of sending valentines
might wane elsewhere, but it always
flourished in Bloomsboro perhaps be-
cause Christine Bell kept it up. She
sent them to the very last people who
expected to have valentine-to neg
lected old people and forlorn sick peo-
pie, TO Biddy Mcguire, just from the
old country, and kilt" with homesick-
ness, and to Antony Burke, the old
miser, for whom no one had n civil
word and who, perhaps, didn't deserve
one. And for every valentine that was
disregarded or thrown impatiently
aside, dozen made little warmth and
comfort in a sad heart; for nobody has
yet begun to understand how great is
the day of small things.
Christine was more mysterious than
usual this year about her valentines;
she colored when Peggy said she would
better send one to Miss Pigeon, but they
never thought she would; they thought
she was ouly sensitive about her Christ
mas wreath. When Mr.. Pigeon went
away he gave Christine an old desk that
he had had ever since he was boy. II

into it and was whitfield at every cor.

We were in the great battle of Wichita

of Eagle creek, in 1859. Capt. Earl Van
Dorm, Lieuts. Lee and Kimbell were
wounded in this battle. This broke the

gave the settlers of the whole frontier

The death of Gen. Francis A. Walker
recalls the story of his captures during
the war. Tho first one was that ut the
battle of Reams' Station, on August &c,
1864. His captor, n scout attached to
Longstreets command, had been doing
some sharpshooting to prevent n union
battery from shelling confederate
brigade while charging. The battery
was,presently abandoned, and the scout
disguised himself as union soldier and
crossed the lines to find out whether the
union troops were making full re-
treat or were preparing to make n
stand. "I picked up package of pa
pers," the scout said, in describing the
event some years afterwnrd, (which

My object for this was to delay him till

that was the name. AS was close to
him by this time, he asked me what I
wanted. 1 told him in very strong lam
guage that he must surrender. This
seemed to bewilder him, and he ex-
claimed: Where am I?' told him:
"A prisoner and he asked me to have
more respect for him, as he was an Of

my commands, as was n confederate
soldier, and added that would be death

citement of the moment l moved my

asked the prisoner to surrender his
arms. He handed me pistol and a very
fine sword. We then went on to the

soon as he appeared asked the prisoner
