Joey's Easter Lily

Aunt Hepsy peered through the window. at
the huge black bearded fellow lying at her
door step, then dropped on the kitchen settee,
and for the first and only time in her life
went off into mysteries.
"And it was you who saved me! joey
Brooks, if it hadn't been for you and that
Faster lily ! came near throwing on the rub
Ibish heap I'd been robbed, and maybe my
life taken. It's warning to me-it's warn
ing. I've been a hard. unnatural woman.
I'll not live shut UP like hermit any more;
I'll send for your father tomorrow, and give
him and his home here. And shake hands,
joey. That five hundred dallars shall go into
the bank to send you to college and make a
man of you. And You can fill up your room
with bugs and spiders and snakes if you<want
to. and I'll never touch it with brush or
broom"
And Aunt Hepsy was the woman to keep
her word.
Joey found himself a hero next morning.
when the neighbors gathered from far and
near, and the big, black bearded ruffian, with
badly-damaged head. in the hands of the
law. was discovered to be a notorious house
breaker, who had defied the police for many
years.
But when Miss Mary came up to congratu-
late her pupil on his courage and quick wit
that had saved has aunt from loss. if not per
scnal injury, Joey's voice trembled.
II can't keep my word to you, Miss Mary.

withered in the dust.

And Joey has so far. for Professor Joseph
Brooks has held high position in famous
college for many years. and his deep study
and research in natural science has gained him
name and fame.
But though to beetle and butterfly, stone
and gtar-to all the wide range of Gods crea-
tion-he gives thought and time, it is the
flowers he loves best.
They bloom in his garden, in his conserva-
tory, in his class room. in his study. And
always fair and queenly. above all stands the
Easter lily in the early spring-the sweet
flower that the professor says shaped his life.
