other game. Get up, Floy, and stop crying. ="
The boys only beat the louder, while Floy
began to thump the floor with her heels in
new paroxysm OF anger.
.a'Do you hear me?" 1 asked, sharply, "Stop
this minute, Wilfred! Murton! Frank, stop
footing that horrid trumpet Floy, get up
off the Aoor"
''You're cross old thing! I'll not stop"
answered Murton, between the rapid rat-tat-
tats. -,
''You're a. tross ole sing! I won't top!"
echoed Frank while Ellie repeated
''Fross ole fring!"
And trotted on after them as fast as her
fat little legs would go.
''You must stop cannot have this bed

cry, remembering how easily word from
mamma had quelled many nursery riot. /,
just then, happily for me. Mana appeared
"Eh, eh, childrenl what you make sech a
noise fur? Amt you shame OBJ yerselbes? ?
Your nanny amt well gorne, an heah you
is a-tearn roun' like you doah' keer fur her
one Bit Put down de drums an de trumpet,

And. to my surprise and modification, Mana
quieted them in a few minutes and we were
soon seated at lunch.
The afternoon passed off much better than
the morning had done, for | exerted myself
to amuse and interest the little ones; but
the worst was when bedtime came
The children missed mamma, who always
heard them say their prayers, and they were
cross, and it was long while before we
could get them paci6ed and asleep
Then Geof and went back to the parlor
and sat down. He was working out puzzle,
and was reading "Ivanhoe," but though both
were interesting, dull, lonely feeling crept
over us, and we were both very willing,
when nine o'clock came, to tell Mana we
were ready TO retire.
All the servants but Mana went to their
own homes as soon as the labors of the day
were over; so a procession of three started
to see if the house was properly closed for the
night. ,
We were all little nervous Mana held
the light while Geof and did the locking and

mas room, next the nursery, until her re-
turn.
At last our castle was considered burglar
proof, and we all retired for the night, Geof
taking the precaution to lay papa's sword and
a big, old-fashioned revolver near his bed
Nothing happened, after all our precaution,
and l think Geof was a little disappointed,
as night after night passed, and no ghosts
or burglars troubled us.
Matters went better-during the day, too.
The boys had returned to the school-room, and
certain kind of order reigned-not like man.

shortcomings to keep the peace. L had found
out: that | must "forbear" great deal to
make any Impression on my boisterous lit
tie brothers and sisters.
About week after they left, we got let
ter from the absent ones. Uncle Philip was
better, and as Aunt Nelly had come to stay
with him, they would be home in a day or
two.
The day this arrived, the children had been
particularly naughty. 1t had rained from
early morning, so that they could not go out
to play, and at last / had used up all my
resources to amuse them.
Suddenly they disappeared, one by one, and
| enjoyed short space of quiet, to be broken
by the startling news that
"Dem chilren 'nough to put any pussm

dey was mad, widout no hats on dere heads,

the nursery for dry clothes.
just as this was over, and was feeling
very discouraged and longing for dear nam
ma, in came Geof, in a great state of excite
ment, to tell us that Billy, our old pet goat
whose shining coat and painted horns were
the admiration of all our girl and boy friends
had disappeared.
"Henry says he saw him this morning, and
now he can't be found anywhere" said Geof
Looks very much to Henry and me as if
some thief had carried him off, for Billy is
not in the habit of wandering from home
don't quite know what to do about it. Henry
thinks it may have been one of the men that
came up to get shingles out of The cellar to-
day"
The cellar referred to ran almost the entire
length Of the house, and was entered from
drive, and was filled with lumber and old fur
niture and some provisions and was very dark
and gloomy.
We were all very much excited over Billy's
disappearance.
and we'll have to attend carefully to the clos
ing up Of the house tonight. If it was thief,
he might secrete himself somewhere and get
off with everything valuable, to say nothing

made me turn cold with fright.
We retired at our usual hour. after careful

and door, and with our weapons of defense

hours.

1NCLE PHILIP was i'll. A messen-
ger on horseback brought the letter
asking both papa and mamma to
DEfS&Sp come to him, as he was entirely
alone at the rude cabin where he
lived during the shooting season. A
gun had gone off accidentally and injured
his right hand, so that he lay dangerously
ILL.,
In a moment everything was in confusion,
any everybody was rushing hither and
thither, helping to get the travellers ready
Even baby Arthur toddled about with papa's
whisk broom in his hand, under the impress
sion that he was helping great deal.
In a very short time trunk was packed
and the carriage made ready; for, there be-
ing no railroads in that part of the coun-
try the distance had to be done in vehicles
or on horseback.
Mamma called Godfrey and Gretchen to
81 am very sorry to leave you, dear chill
dren," she said. "But you know how neces-
sary it is for us to go to your. poor uncle;
and / am sure you will both do your best,
while are are away, to look after the little
ones. and to keep everything straight. Geoff-
rey, you must be brave and kind, and see to
the house being closed up at night. And
you, my. little daughter, must be patient and
thoughtful. and help Mana with the children
as much as you can. Remember, darlings,
that your example will do more with the
younger ones than all the words you can say.
am sorry have not time to get Aunt Nelly
to come to stay with you; but hope, with
Nana's help, and my dear little ones on their
best behavior; everything will go we'll"
She also had long talk with Mana, who
was our colored nurse, and who had lived
with US ever since Geof was a baby; and /
heard "jam for tea" and "candy in my clos
et," which assured me that mamma was MAX
ing some pleasant arrangements for our COM
fort.
Then there came the last words, papa talk
ing to Geof for few minutes in way that
pleased him, as could see by the consequen-
tial way he held up his head.
Mamma gave me the keys and her pocket
book; which two honors together helped me
to bear up better under the parting than /
could otherwise have done.
The children crowded out on the piazza to
see them off-Murton and Wilfred, Frances
and Floy. and Ellie, and even dear wee Ar
thur, in Nanas arms.
A kiss all round, desperate hug or two
then they got in, Pomp touched up the fat
horses. and the carriage rolled down the hill
and away along the avenue, and was soon
lost to sight
A desolate feeling fell upon us all as we
trooped back into the house, through the quiet
parlor, across the empty dining-room to our
own play-room.
Even that seemed bare and lonely. A dread
full feeling Of responsibility took possession
of me, and felt like having hearty cry.

Hon. George w. Saxon made E bust
neBs visit to Apalaehicola last week and
took hand II organizing and putting
into smooth working order the complete
organization Of the ApalaebicOla State
Bank, which was formerly a branch Of
the Capital City Bank, Of this city.
The officers Of the new bank ore Hon.
Geo w. Saxon, president; Mr.. y. u.
Porter, vice-president, and Mr.. 8. u.
league, cashier, and the directors and
stockholders compose the very best
business men Of Apalachicola. The
bank starts out with very encouraging
conditions, having deposits Of about
500, 900, with surplus and profits
amounting to more than $4,000.
Mr.. Saxon says one cannot doubt that
Apalachicola IL destined to be TO Middle
Florida what Tampa has grown TO be
for South Florida; and that the new
railroad which Is now going into that
city, having built about FIVE miles OF
trestle work, IL second only to Mr.. Flag

business in 81 lines Is looking up and
that Apalachicola in the near future
will take q turn that will be q surprise
70 the old-timeFs and slow-goers. Seems
20 us that now Is the time for invest
ments all over this whole section OF the
State, as the development Of both Car
Tabelle and Apalachicola by moneyed
railroad men points clearly to the con-
clusi0n that all kinds of property will
advance in value. Beauty about all
this, too, Is what benefits these two
cities and the country between them

Facts About SidaWAiks.

Mr.. Editor: / notice that Tully &
Yaeger Co. have built a beautiful and
substantial sidewalk in front of their
property just south of the city market,
with cement tile blocks which they are
manufacturing for sale. This shows
commendable enterprise on the part Of
the gentlemen composing this popular
Arm.
The owners of the balance Of the
property southwark should continue this
sidewalk to the corner on Adams street
and along Pensacola to Monroe street.
II left as Il now stands it will present
very undesirable and ragged appearance,
especially to strangers. The city coun-
eli should see to it that all sidewalks of
this kind be Immediately repaired with
brick or cement.
Other towns Of the State are moving
in this direction and no property owner
should object to the necessary improve
ment. II he does, the city should do
the work and charge the cost in taxes
against the property, as the law allows.
1t is time for Tallahassee to wake up
and the council should push the matter
of good sidewalks vigorously, and we
would soon have an attractive town,
whereas in the matter of sidewalks we
have the poorest in the State.
