UNCLE'S REVENGE.
BY OWEN OLIVER.

 (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles) | Listeners. of course, cannot complain 1 of what they hear; but uncle dfd not | intend to listen. The dining room door was ajar and he heard his name mem | tioned before he had time to. cough He had no breath to cough with, after hearing what he heard.
 T am quite aware that uncle Is try | ing" father said-he was fathers un- cle, and he had just come home rom abroad. T don't want him to live with us, any more than you do; but beggars can't be creosers.'
 we aren't quite beggars, dad, Ma rian said, in her impulsive way, and ITd rather beg! He'll fuss and | fuss and fuss; and want to us to alter everything to his ideas. He suggests l little Improvements in half the things that you and mother do; and as for Bob and me. everything we do is wrong Young people," she imitat c uncle's deepvoice-" young people were very different when I was youngr l don't believe he ever was young"
 Marian, oear," mother interposed. gently. "Can't I get some extra work in the evenings and make up the money you'd get out of him? You see we we've always got on jolly well to- gether at home. It's an awful bore having some one else forced upon us. He isn't going to pay so very much and it won't be all profit, I supposee
 My dear hoy" father objected, it sounds rather mean, but the fact is he's rich and we're poor He must leave his money to some one: and there's s no telling what he nIght do for you and Marian. Mother and I don't want 1t for ourselves; but we've had hard struggle ourselves and we know what it is dare say we shall feel the presence of an intrude~ in our happy | little family circle as much as you will; but don't see what else We can do" Father sighed.

-:- OUR DAILY SHORT STORY

'1'd like to know how often he tells that story about the lion?" said Bob, thoughtfully. T wonder if he really shot it?"
 "of course not" Marian said. He shoot a lion! Why. he's afraid of Mink. You don't like him, do you. Minxie? Hear me say. uncle and make Minx bark"
 Marian. dear" mother protested.
 Well mother, do you believe he shot the lion?'
 The knitting needles stopped.
 Tt is a very nice skin," mother re- marked thoughtfully. People some- times exaggerate just a little as they get older; but he might have shot 1t, don't you think, father?"
 Uncle did not wait to hear any more If they had not been laughing so much they must have heard him slam his bedroom door. They would have been somewhat startled if they had seen his face. his eyes small and sharp as if he were facing a wounded lion just before IL sprang. As a matter ot fact. he really had snot it. There was big mark on his shoulder still, where the claws of the dying lion went in
 Uncle was remarkably amiable for the next few days. and by the end of the week he had got on good terms with all of them. He made no more alterations in the family customs.
 He listened so sympathetically that gradually they told him all their troubles.
 Fathers trouble was a note which he had endorsed for man who sf- terward ran way to South Africa.
 Uncle pursed his lips. and smiled a smile that seemed benevolent, if YOU didn't look too closely-and father didn't.
 You havo made me so genuinely welcome" he stated. ''I can't help con- trasting you with all the greedy wretches who make fuss over me for my money. I know them. They never deceive me-never. He struck the table with his fist. "I must se' what I can do."
 Uncle listened to mother with tho same kindly interest. Things veal out so," she told him. with a sigh So much of the furniture is shabby. and I should like tho house to lool better. for the childrcn's sake" Uncle gave benign smile A least mother took it for benigi smile. He would see what he coul' do.
 Mother said he was too good-"real ly too good"-and put her hankerchle to her eyes Uncle said, Not at all' no at all." and went hastily out. They wouldn't believe me if l sai' 1 I'd seen crocodiles tears, he groWie' to himself. Tt would be like the lioi story | Next he drew Bob on to confide Il him. Boh's great ambition had beei to go'to a university Of course the poor old governor couldn't afIor' it." he said. "so I never worried mn about It. I wouldn't, for the world le him know ] can't help mother guess ing. because she always sees throus' you"
 Uncle said that he didn't wonder and he felt the game about 1t whei he was Bohs age. But you're no too old yet" he observed. Why don you write to the head of one of tn colleges and ask him for the partlcu lars? If you do. I'd rather like to SC what he says"

the evening the machine-made strains
Of popular songs fill the air. On Water
