Aunt Jane didn't care whether she had

was mistaken. She had slipped out OF
the kitchen now. on the sly. for fear
she would he told to sew patchwork
or do a "stent" on the hateful stocking
she was knitting. She had other plans.
She was looking anxiously down the
road that led to the village. 1t wasn't
long before she saw what she was look
ing for. They're coming! she said
eyci,edly. She had been half afraid
they wouldn't come. and the other half
afraid that they would. And now there
they were!
She made sure that no one was
watching before she ran to meet them
OR it-for Il was her party that she
was expecting. That was Huldy AIMS
secret: she was to have q party. and
Aunt Jane didn't know the frst thing
about II.
1t wasn't q very big party. to be sure.

Fannie and the Foster twins. Hattie
was a sedate miss OF twelve. with blue
eyes and fiaxen braids. Little Fan was
bluer.eyed. and her hair was fiaxener.

neck. Fan always reminded Huldy
Ann Of an angel Though Of course she
had never seen one,. The Foster sis
tiers. Kate and Lizzie. were rosy
checked. black-eyed damsels OF ten.
with closely cropped brown heads.
They the twins were not in the least
angelic.

remarked Hattie. with 4 silelons
glance at Huldy AIMS brown calico
dress and sunbonnet.
The four visitors wore spick-and-
span light prints. so stlffly starched
tha. they fairly crackled when their
wearers moved.
Huidy Ann noticed the glance and
blushed. mo. you amt a mite too

The visitors looked ut their clean
gowns and at each other. Il didn't

s'posed they played games in the
house."

said Huldy Ann. with dignity. you

How she did wish she knew what to do
next! To tell the truth she had never
been to a party In all her life.

RUSHING FLOOD OPENS GRAVES.
Many conps Swept Out OF Madison, N.J.s
Cemetery.

Madison, y. J. - Devastation was
caused IN Hillside Cemetery by the
late cloudburst. About seventy-fve
collins were uncovered by the rushing
flood and many Of them We're swept
away from the graves that had held
them.
The cemetery Is situated partly on a
hill, but 4 brook and ravine traverse
the other portion Of It. 4 culvert was
built over the brook several years ago.
The water during the night backed up
and swept across the lower part Of the
cemetery.
For 4 distance OF about 400 feet the
torrent carried everything before 1t.
For {, width Of fifty feet the graves
We're washed out and many collins car
ried away. Al daybreak next morning
they were found strewn In all direc
tions. An army Of undertakers were
ut work during the day trying to iden
tify the collins and restore them tc
their resting places. Some OF the
bodies were found mile from the
cemetery. and 1t Is believed others
were washed into the Passaic River
The Lackawanna tracks were badly
washed out between Madison and
Chatham.

one Of the timid kind.
The promise Of feast Of berries was
tempting. so finally the little company
climbed over the wall and crossing the
main road wandered into the shady
lane. 1t must be owned that they
didn't have a very good time here.
Perhaps 1t was because they were
tired-or. possibly. they were the least

that. although II was growing late In
the afternoon the party showed no
signs Of peacefully disbanding. She
began to have dreadful misgivings that
it-or they-would insist on going home
with her.
Sure enough before long the Foster
girls began to wonder II there would
be lice cream for supper" Then Hat.
tie inquired. Don't you think it's time
we're getting back to the house? It'll
be dark pretty soon."
Huldy Ann dreaded the dark. But
still more she dreaded the sight OF
Aunt Jane. "Oh. l don't know" she
said. Il guess 'tisn't so very late"
While she was speaking a big drop
OF rain fell plump on her nose. and a
low peal Of thunder rumbled in the dis
taEce.
Dear me! I'm scared to death Of
thunderw cried Hattie. turning pale.
"Poohr' said Huldy Ann. nobody
was ever killed by thunder"
But q sharp fash Of lightning and
fast-falling raindrops proved too much
even for. Huldy AIMS courage. and she
scampered down the hill with the other
children. almost running against COW
cred wagon and an old white horse
that stood at the foot of the lane.
"Why. Joel. Is that you:" cried the
little girl.
wall, I guess IT'S" answered Joel.
Your aunt sent me to fetch you home.
We kinder thought you'd be up In the
lane"
The shower was soon over. but
Hubby Ann was very thoughtful all the
way home. When the farmhouse was
In sight she put her mouth close to
Joel's ear and whispered: Does Aunt
Jane know there's anybody with me:"
Certain" answered Joel, his eyes
twinkling. 1.-The Larkin girls ma and
the Foster girls ma both came over to
take 'em home from the party"
Anyway. she can't more'n kill me-"
thought Huldy Ann.
But when they drove up to the door
there stood Aunt Jane looking real
pleasant. And when they got into the
big, cool kitchen. with Its yellow paint.
ed floor and vine covered windows.
there was the supper table spread with
cold meat. hot biscuit. cake. pie, pre-
serves. cheese. pickles and dear knows
how many other indigestible goodies.
Nobody thought Of Ice cream. and
everybody enjoyed the feast. excepting
-perhaps-Huldy Ann: her conscience
was troubling her. She felt very
proud, though. when Aunt Jane set be-
fore her big. frosted cake with eleven
pink peppermints on top. and told her
to cut the birthday cake.
1t was n very quiet little girl that
stood beside her aunt an hour later,
watching the visitors out Of sight.
Aunt Jane" she said shyly. as they
turned to go into the house. you're
awful good I'm sorry I acted so.'
Aunt Jane pursed up her lips In q
queer smile. Never mind" she said.
"only the next time you think OF givin'
party. guess you'd better let me
know beforehand"
"Yes'm." said Huldy Ann meekly.
