HITS AND MRS.

do not like to let my anger get into
print, but every time l think OF the
night put in trying to sleep in a
folding bed I get flushed in the face
and my right leg offers to kick over
the stove. A folding bed when upright
and at rest, resembles a cottage organ
or buttermilk cupboard. 1t has no
more expression than an armful of
wood under a snowbank, and is about
as inviting to sleep in. The boy who
showed me up to my oom in answer
to my question:, ''if the bed would be
back soon?" pointed to the snake cup
board. / insisted he must be mistaken
but he shook his head and got busy.
Jumping up he grabbed the top of the
stand up bed and pulled part OF it to
the floor. 1t tried to get away from
him but he was a strong boy and full
of fight. He got on the foot of the bed
and hammered it until it laid still.
When it was opened up an armful of
bed clothes and two tired-looking pill
lows began to sniff the fresh air in the
room and moved about as though in
pain. The boil boy hit them a few
ticks and was gone before l could
make the suggestion that 1 would rath-
er sleep in a bear trap. crawled in
to the sleep machine quietly in order
not to o u either it's curiosity or its
anger. I let one foot hang gracefully
outside towards the door, which 1 had
left ajar so that the guests of the house
could pass by and view my remains.
I tried all means at my command to go
to sleep; l hardly dared to move for
fear the thing would shut mp and I
would be forever lost. When I turned
over to see if my other side had any
notion of going to sleep. I crawled
carefully out and turned over on the
floor and got in quietly like the man
who had been out buying bird seed
for the cuckoo clock. Along toward
morning l gave it up and went to
sleep and was surprised when ] finally
crawled out to find hat | had not been
bitten or lost II foot. and ] gathered
up my remains and hurried down to
the Office to get a room with a real bed
in it. People who like folding beds
can have them, but l would rather sleep
in a barn behind a kicking mule.

"Ohl yes, there is very large one" replied
the man, who resided near the sea-
We'll, III bet IL isn't so big and fine as this

there There's one place where YOU couldn't find

your knees the water comes clean over your

They found the raspbclries growing in a tan
gle along an old stone fence and the boy fell to
work immediately with boundless enthusiasm,
scrambling over the stones, plunging his fingers
through the briars and crying
''Ohl what big ones. And what a lotl''
The man picked too. more slowly, but he did
not find any big ones, nor so many.
"Ohl pshaw, he said to the boy at last, "this
doesn't pay You ought TO have seen the rasp-
berries picked here when was your age. They
were twice as big as these and four times as
thick"
The boy looked at him increduously.
The man had about concluded that the world
was deteriorated in the neighborhood Of his old
home as we'll as elsewhere, that it had run out,
like the raspberries and grown muddy and shal.
low like the swimming hole, when old maid
called one afternoon on his Aunt Molly.
She was sweet old maid, with grlish figure
and young eyes; one Of the kind that rarely
laugh, because laughter is always at the expense
ly though out of kindness. She was simply at.
tired in white, and she wore bunch of sweet
peas at her bodice He knew her in a moment,
despite the fact that the fresh, erlish color had
faded from her cheek and that there were little
wrinkles at either side Of her mouth.
When he first looked at her face he thought
that she was changed but when he looked into
her eyes he that she was the. same. Some
thing perhaps it was her young, brave constant
soul. had not grown older since certain balrny
evening many years ago, fragrant with the scent
of the honeysuckle blossoms.
He thought she would not know him, but she
walked straight up to him, with hand extended,
and said, as quietly as though they had parted
yesterday
.sHow do you do. Henry?'
He walked home with her along the country
road and he felt somehow that she had out
grown him in calm and courage and sweetness.
She was more womanly than he was manly, des-
pite his wider experience his more turbulent life
Sheer sweetness, too, had given her grace and
a dignity which seemed to him to set her above
any Of the women Of the world whom he had
known.

MT you been back to see us in all these years"
He explained. He had been planning to come
had expected to come every summer: but he had
been away in Canada, had been absorbed with
business and politics, and the years had gone b,
one by one.

animation here we set atalkin' and you

He went to bed that night in the same attic
where he had slept az boy, and in the same bed !;
but the griddlc cake, of which he had eaten
heartily distressed hm--a thing which it had
never done in the glad young days.
"Aunt Molly's griddle cake isn't quite the same

heavier, somehow She's lost the hang of it,"

Simply because he wished to make one more

he was surprised to find that the same golden
flowers were flashing in and out among the

Everything persists" he mused, ''even the
birds with their joy and music. Only the heart
of man grows old"
moment later it occurred to him that the
robins he knew as boy were all dead long AGO
and that there would still be Joy and music in
the world when he was no longer there to hear
it, When he re-entered the house from his walk
he found Aunt Molly up, engaged in getting
