aim afraid Jerrv,s folk, vonl wan,

"l'm afraid Jerry's folks won't want
TO come, and don't know what Phin-
cas- would do If they didn't. He's
set his heart. We ought not to have
waited till the last minute-I don't
see why we did. There won't be time
for them to answer-oh, dear, they
haven't been home for SO long, and /
can't help thinking they won't want
to come nowi"
But she went briskly to work with
her preparations. She cooked and
cooked till the shelves in her neat
pantry groaned under their loads.
Jerry's folks could not have cleared
them in week. She made the mince
pies The way the boys had always
liked them, long ago. She made mo-
lasses sauce for the pudding because
they had been fond of that kind.
And she made two little saucer pies
she had never failed to make, long
ago. They were pumpkin pies, and
she crimped the edges carefully.
"Jerry's girls are grown up, and
maybe they won't care for them
maybe nobody WILL" she thought,
but I always made them for the
boys, and said would to-day. Only
hoped, then, that Johns folks
would come. I hoped till the last
minute"
1t was the last minute now, and
mother had given up. She lad set
the long table with her whitest linen
and her prettiest dishes. Then she
had dressed herself in her best dress
and sat down to wait. She was quite
pale. Mother was a little afraid of
Jerry's folks. She wished Phineas
were here to help her receive them,
but he had been called away unex-
pectedly, and would not be back
much before dinner time. One of the
neighbors had needed him.
Somewhere down the road sounded
the rumble of stage wheels, and
mother got up, nervously, and stood
on the floor, listening. 1t was such

Phincas Quimby stood still over the

helpless bewilderment. Had he lost

him standing there, strong and
straight, looking down at the crum.

that one was! With an inarticulate
cry Of tenderness and love, father
stopped and gathered the warm,
sweet morsel into his old arms, and
laid his grizzled head against it, in
the old, old way. Mother found him
so.
"Fatber, father!" she cried, from
the doorway. All her soul was in her
eager, old voice.
"Hush, don't speak, mother; don't
wake me up! I've got little John in
my arms"
In the quiet kitchen there was only
the sound of baby-crooning then
Mother had lifted little Jerry, and
was grading him in her own arms.
The noon sunshine lighted all their
faces, young and old. 1t was father
who spoke first, after awhile:
"Don't tell nae, mother, know all
about it," he said, quietly. 81 know

pity Jerry's folks had had to come
up in The stage! Hark!-yes, it was
turning into the lane. 1t was almost
here. She must go to the door and
meet them. A strange, girlish shy
ness swept over the little old figure,
and two spots of pink color bios
somed in her wrinkled cheeks.
The rumble ceased. A confusion OF
voices greeted mothers ear-sweet
shrill little voices, with the bubble OF
laughter running through them. And
then, above them all, a mans deeI

Mother found herself at the door
in the midst of them all, and her
wonder and faint dismay were
drowned in the sweetness and joy OF
their coming and the warm rain OF
their kisses on her face.
There were so many little voices in
her ear, SO many little arms around
her neck! And John was there-a
big, bearded John, with little Johns
love in his voice! There was no room
for dismay at all-only joy. 1t was
later when the mystery had cleared
itself away and it was almost time
for Phineas to come that the dismay

Mother stole away by herself and
looked things in the face. She had
not told John that it was all a mis-
take, and that his letter had gone to
Jerry and Jerry's invitation come to
him. 1t was all clear enough now to
mother, but she had not told John.
How could she? In a moment the
ioy was overwhelmed in the utter
dismay. For Phineas would be home
soon. very soon.
Something must be done. The lit
tie children-if the father should see
Johns children, would they not plead
for him? No, wait-the babies
Johns tiny twin sons! Mother
laughed aloud with delight of the in
spiration. She hurried up to the
lumber-room over the woodshed and
pulled down the long old cradle that
Phineas had pieced out long ago, to
keep baby toes from meeting when
Jerry lay at one end and little John
at the ether. 1t was heavy, but what
did mother care? The strength of
ten slender old women animated her
as she tugged and pulled it down.
Now, the pillows and the little old
log-cabin quilt AS II she did not
know where those were! She ar
ranged them with eager fingers and
pulled the cradle into the kitchen,

en- door. Then mother went back to
Johns folks.

care of little twin sons?"
She carried them both at once in
the old way. A little head lay warm
against each arm. There was not a
moment to lose If her plan was to
succeed, and she went away swiftly
with her precious load out to the
kitchen, straight to the little old era
die. There was time to deposit the
babies, one at each end, on the soft.
time-yellowed little pillows, and to
draw the log-cabin quilt snugly up
under each tiny pink chin. There
was minute or two even to jog the
cradle few times, and then mother
heard the creak of Phineas' wagon
wheels. She stole softly away and
left Johns babies to do their work
alone. But prayer was on her lips.
"a little child shall lead them
it's in Thy Book, Lord. Let Johns
little children lead father back to
john" she prayed silently.
Phineas Quimby was late. The

"oIe olson"

The Swedish dialect comedian, Ben
Hendricks. is again presenting that
best and most entertaining of Swedish
plays 'Ole Olson and will don the garb
of the nonchalant and resourceful i'm
migrant "Ole" at the Opera House
next Saturday matinee and night. Mr..
Hendricks is universally recognized as
the best exponent of Swedish charac-
ter on the American stage, a fact that
is amply proven by the attempts Of
every manager of Swedish plays to Sc
cure his services. He rightfully con-
siders, however. that in 'Ole Olson
this particular nationality is most
truthfully drawn and presented and
that it gives the best opportunity OF
presenting the wholesome. honest and
incorruptible Swedish type as he really
exists. Several changes have been
made in the dramatic story and these
features have tended to strengthen the
play. A number of special features
add to its enjoyable qualities too
notably the original Swedish Ladies'
Quartette.

more exciting than tieing knots in

themselves with revolvers and engage

unrelenting vigor for time, or until.
