must be scampering about in the alder swamp,
and wished he had gun like Ben TEim-
bles. How he would like a run over the
fields!
The cows were to be let out of their stable
for a MONDAY drink at the brook. Robin
thought he would do that, and then get his
dinner
Who should go by just then but Ben Trim
pie himself, with that very gun on his shoul-
.Hello' he cried.
,Hello!" Robin responded rather coldly.
Ben was the one boy in the ' hole country
side his father wished him to avoid.
:, Come out with me for rabbits" said
Ben.
ooh, / can't"
in the swamp little ways"
Got my wood to cut. And besides, Aunt
Charity II be afraid if go so far
"Pshaw! you never have any fun. All the
boys think you're big dummy to work as
you do"
Its nobody's business if l do work." re-
torted Robin, with spirit.
"Well, everybody talks about it-how tied
up you are. You'd catch me never having
any fun!" and he began to move away.
His offer had been very tempting. Robin
did not like to see him 60.
Say, if you'll wait a bit, could ask Aunt
Charity. If she didn't care, l could go
for an hour and get in my wood, too, before
night.
''That sounds more like it. Hurry up!
I'll wait" said Ben.
Robin ran to the house. He was just about
to tap on the outside of the window to call
Charity's attention, so that she would un-
lock the door, when, peering through the
glass, he could see she was sound asleep in
her chair, with her knitting lying idly in her
lap.
He did not like to rouse her.
"I'll soon be back" he said to himself, and
returned to the barn.
''What does the old woman say?" asked
Ben.
'.She's asleep. She won't mind" replied
Robin.
''Wen come on, then"
"I'll pitch the hay down from the NOW
for the cattle first. and then I'll be ready"
While Robin hustled about this business,
Ben amused himself with stalking up and
down in front of the barn like a sentinel
Presently Robin had finished, and they were
off.
In his excitement Robin forgot that he was
tired, that he had had no dinner. and that
he was neglecting the very duty his father
had left him behind to do.
He tramped along at great pace beside
Ben. Every now and then they found rab-

places as they neared the swamp.
There's lots of em here" said Ben.
just then, startled by their steps, rab-
pit bounded away from almost under their
Ben had his gun to his shoulder in an in
slant. With a sudden puff of smoke and a
sharp, report, the little creature lay bleeding
on the snow.
Another one had leaped up at about the
along a low fence in swift fight

Ben to secure his game and come on.
The rabbit was very fleet 1t would pause
now and then and lift itself on its hind feet
to reconnoitre, and then flee away again.
tirely out of breath. All at once, just as he
emerged from the timber upon the road,
where it wound through deep hollow, the
rabbit disappeared.
At this point, between two steep hills, a
long, deep, wooden culvert spanned the road.
bit had taken refuge within it.
1--WE treed him!" he cried, as Ben came
painting after. Hes in here"
They set to work to dislodge the fugitive.
They threw in sticks, they shouted, they
stamped upon the beaten snow over its head.
found some burrow within, which it knew
was safer than the daylight, and refused to
be frightened out.
"I know how to do it" said Ben, suddenly.
"1'll smudge him out"
At the mouth of the culvert we're heaps of
dead leaves and sticks that had been drifted
there by the autumn winds. Quick as thought
Ben struck match and set fire to the leaves.
Robin was Mortified
You'll burn the culvert!" he cried.
> "Naw," drawled Ben-"the leaves'Il only
smoke little. They're too wet to burn"
The experiment was a success The rab-
bit fed before the sitting smoke, with Robin
and Ben in full chase after it.
After a wide detour over hillocks and
through bushes, Ben at last got shot at the
rabbit and brought it down.
Their race had been long one. By this
time it was near sundown.
Robin came suddenly to his senses and said
he must return home.
"Take rabbit" said Ben "You have one
and / have one"
No, Robin didn't want any rabbit. He
only wanted to get home as quickly as pos
sible.
When he reached the house he found the
kitchen door still locked. He shook it by
the handle and called to Charity, but could
get no answer. He raped on the window;
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-24

he beat on the steps; he pounded on the
panels
But all to no avail There was no response.
:, oh, bother!" he said. "I'll have to crawl
through window"
But the windows would not be lifted. Every
one was securely fastened.
Aunt Charity" he called-"Aunt Charity,
let me in!'
The house was perfectly still. He began
to be frightened. What if she should be dead?
He brought ladder from the workhouse
placed it against the caves and climbed up
On the roof. He knew the window of his
own little room that opened upon a rear
roof would be unfastened. He could get in
there
After considerable clambering he got in
side. He went down stairs and through all
the lower apartments. They were deathly
still and dim. No Charity was to be found.
He called her name.
With much dismay he concluded she must
have gone to neighbor's in fit of foolish
terror. He would set out at once and see.
But first he would replenish the fires in the
stoves and get the house comfortable, in case
the family should return early. This he did,
even to setting the table for supper, so every
thing should be cozy. Then he started for the
nearest neighbors, the Howards half-mile
away.
As night settled down it had become
cloudy and was now starting in to snow.
When he reached the Howards he found no
one had seen Charity, SO his only resource
was to return home and wait his fathers
coming,
Alone in the fast-settling dark the time
dragged heavily. At length he was certain
he heard the sound of bells. 1t was such
soft, slow tinkle it could hardly be the gray
colts, he thought. They would not be likely
to make such moderate music when nearing
the home stalls. He went out to look.
Down the road through the furrying snow
he could see some dimly moving figures, and
could get with certainty the distinct tone of
the familiar bells.
When the figures got near enough, he called
"Hello!" and got his fathers voice in an
answering "Hello!" He was driving the
horses without any sleigh attached.
$50 up to Howard's for help!" his father
called. "Weve had an accident. Tell him to
hitch up his sleigh and come over to the cul.
vert. BY The time you get him, I'll be there.
I'm afraid your mother is hurt"
The grays were put hurriedly into the
stable.
Robin ran with all speed to the Howard's.
while his father got together some little com.
forts in the house and returned to the scene
of the accident.

faint jingle of bells over the far
crest of the hill could he set himself about
his work.
The very good reasons his father had given
{ him why he should stay at home while the
i rest OF the family were off on a visit to Uncle
Henry's did not satisfy him.
You know Aunt Charity is very feeble,
and there must be some one here to keep her
company, and to see that she does not feel
kafraid," his father had said.
But like to go when the rest do" Robin
had muttered, under his breath. I've wished
a thousand times there wasn't any Aunt
Charity"
Charity was a faithful old negro servant,
who had been Mrs. Marders nanny in her
girlhood in the South She was childish and
Einhrm now, and needed tender care. If it
U was often an irksome duty to the children,
they did not dare to say so aloud.
Robin turned to his woodpie in no very
, cheerful mood 1t was always a part of his
Saturdays work to split the great blocks of
wood into the proper size to pile them on his
hand-sled, and to haul them to the kitchen
shed.
1t was distasteful business at the best, and
now doubly so.
"Pore chile!' said Aunt Charity, watch
ing him out of the window; 81 wish could
tote it for him"
Then she opened the door and called:
''Never mine, ho..cT. I'll get nice dinner
for ye.''
Robin had worked off good deal of his
sullen anger, and her cracked old voice SEEM
ed to drive the rest away. He dropped his
ak and ran to the door.
"Say, Aunt Charity, / see the Towner

be afraid if went over there for little

"I'll keep my eye ON the house all the

Charity.
But Robin heard the key turn after him
before his heels were scarcely off the thresh-
old.
1t was sunny forenoon, and Robin was
soon skimming down the long incline, his
was nearly noon before he reluctantly turned
homeward to the care of Charity and the
wood-pile.

This project is an extension Of the

General Bartlett was brought to the

wound, he found the ball had not pene-
