claimed to Lucinda Peters:
There, Lucinda! feel as if I'd killed
three birds with one stone, as the say
ing is, for I've given something to the
church, helped the Lords poor, and
cleaned out my attic all at the same
time"
Silas Holbrook walked into the store
and glanced about him curiously.
Looks like an auction Of the town

Lucinda Peters came toward him he
asked eagerly:

Silas' hands trembled visibly, as he
buttoned up his coat, and pulled his cap
down over his ears.
"Who bought it. Mis- Peters?" asked
he, little huskily.
The man was a stranger to me. but
some one said he came from Wood

Once more in his sleigh he drove slow

she finds it out" and the old man sighed
heavily.
looking so woe begone and desOlate,
eating scarcely anything, and saying so
little, that Alvira began to grow
alarmed
For the lands sake. Silas, what ever

A shiver swept over the old man as he
answered slowly:
Il guess that's just what be, Alvira,
sort Of SICK" said he without looking
| up.
"'Tain't like as II you was coming
down with anything, is it?" questioned
his wife anxiously.
Seems if l was, Alvira, and l do
wish that Ezra was to home" The last
words were said in so mournful tone
that Alvira flushed as she answered
| quickly:
"If Ezra wasn't an ungrateful and
selfish boy, he'd be to home now"
"There, Alvira." said Silas, lifting his
head and looking at his wife little
sternly, don't you go talking hard
| against Ezra. You know he'd never

against him and Matilda a getting fond
of one another"
matilda was too young to think of
getting married, Silas, and you know
it," said she hastily, avoiding his eye as
| she spoke. 'She's better off learning
the milliner's trade, down to Boston,
than a getting married at her age.
"Mebbe so, Alvira, mebbe so, though
l allus thought she favored Ezra consid-
cradle, too" answered Silas with lit
| tie sigh.
Ezra was Silas Holbrook's son by his
first wife, and Matilda was the daugh-
| ter Of Alvira, by former husband.
Their parents having married when the
| children We're quite young, they had
been happy playmates for several years.
| But when Ezra was 81 and Matilda IS,
they discovered that their affection for
each other was stronger than that of
brother and sister. When Alvira's eyes
| We're opened to this fact, she decided
to end the matter then and there, and
| with a mothers tact she aroused the
| girls ambition for new scenes.
! Having cousin living in Boston, AL
vira had placed the girl under her pro-
lection and for two years Matilda had
been working at the milliner's trade,
apparently cOntented and happy.
Understanding his stepmother's mo-
tive in thus separating them, Ezra. like
a young man in love, became sulky and
moody, until. after several stormy
scenes between them, he too. left his
childhood's home. For time Ezra had
written his father frequent letters. but
now there was a silence of many
months. and the old man yearned silent
ly for his only son.
The next day Slas was too i'll to
leave his bed. and Alvira. leaving IA
neighbor to sit with him. drove down
