felling you Mrs. Jackson's maiden
aunt had been of the family and had
looked after the children during their
mothers absence. But the maiden
aunt had gone to visit relatives in a
far-away city. and there was no one
left at home to keep an eye on Bert
and Stella ave the old cslored cook,
Aunt Nancy by name.
Now. Aunt Nancy, keep good care
OF my little ones" commanded Mrs.
Jackson as she was about to depart.
Give them their luncheon at the
usual hour and see that they do not
leave the yard while out at play"
Then turning to Bert and Stella. she
said to them: Children, obey Aunt
Nancy and remember mammals in
%structions about your staying in the
yard. Do not leave the premises
while j am away 1t is such a glor-
ious day that you may spend most
of the time about the yard or down
by the old straw stacks at play. But
remain within call of Aunt Nancy.
Then Mrs. Jackson kissed her SON
and daughter and departed toward
the town. 10 miles distant.
For an hour or more Bert and
Stella played about the big front
yard, enjoying the games that two
may participate in. But as the
morning dragged toward noon Bert
became restless. He missed the us
ual excitement that prevailed about
the place when his parents we're at
home. But with their mother in
town shopping. their father in n
other state on business. and the
maiden aunt visiting relatives in a
distant city, he found the country a
most desolate place, indeed.
Didn't mamma say that we might
meet her at the railroad station?"
asked Bert, tossing a rubber ball list
lessly.
We didn't think to ask her about
it." replied Stella. Now, isn't that
too bad? / fully intended to tell her
that we wished very much to come
to the station to meet her. OF
course. she'll come home from the
station in the same public hack that
she went down there in. But there's
room for US, too, for seldom are
there any other passengers coming
out so far as our house."
"oh. mamma wouldn't have refus-
ed to allow us to meet her tonight"
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1908-04-06

Nancy listened to Stella she opent

voice, shaking her head the while:

But, don't you see. Aunt Nancy?

convincing way. an

All right Aunt Nancy,r laughed
Stella, well tell mamaathat we went
away without your consent, and II
She has any fault to find in the mat
ter 1t will not be with you. And now
we're off, Aunt Nancy" And stella
ran out of the house to accompany
Bert, who was ambling off down the
road towards the station.
"Lewsey, honey-chile, please don't
co." cried old Nancy hurrylng out Of
the house in pursuit of Stella. Please
don't go, for you airs ma done tole

But Stella and Bert. laughing and

were out OF hearing Of the end Of
Naney's plea. and were soon lost to
the old woman,s sight by turning i
corner Of the hedge.
As they went along they found
many things 10 talk about ana the
time, as wen as their feet aew, and
soon they found themselves at the
deserted little railroad station where
they found seats on the edge OF the.
platform.
And so two hours passed by, Bert
and Stella being alone during the
whole time. AT last the station agent
came TO open the waiting room, say
ing that the train would be in from
the city within half an hour. Then
came a few travelrs to take the train
and Bert and Stella took up their
places on the platform. where the
train would stop. to watch for their
mother.
To their joy the train came pufig
in on time, and eagerly they watched
the few passengers alight from the
coaches, hoping every second that
their mother would step from the
platform. But soon the train was
slowly moving away, and their moth
er had not put in her appearance.
In their disappointment ana appre-
hension they stood looking after the
slowly departing train, their minds
not made up as Il what they should.
do. Stella was the first to, speak:
why, Brother, mama didn't comei
What do o suppose has happened
to keep her in town."
Missed the train. I reckon" said
Bert, drawing down the corners OF
his mouth. Gee, wish we hadn't
come, now"
Well" said Stella, ST guess the
only thing for US to do is to get the
old hackman to drive us home"
yes. that's all we can do. assent
ed Bert. Then he went to look for
the hack-driver and came back to In
form Stella that the station agent had
told him that the hackman had taken
some passengers to a farm several
miles distant and would not return
to his home, which was close to the
station, for at least two hours,

declared Bert. She'll be so glad
to see Us standing on the platform
when she alights from the train.
And what a jolly ride ven all have
together coming from the station in
that funny, rumbling, old hack. I'm
glad our carriage Is at the shop for
repairs, for / like the public hack
lots better. That old driver is 50
funny and always entertains his
passengers with some quaint yarns
as his old horses jog along at about
n mile an hour" And Bert laugh
ed at the remembrance OF the old
hack-driyer, whose public conveyance
was a most unique sight in that
