Mir. Rogers nephew--hls dead brothers child And live with Mr. Rogers.
 "Ah-h-hi" And the man looked his sur prise And your mother--where Is shef' he asked.
 My mother was in very poor health, sir, after my fathers death last year, and she went for n long visit to her brother, away out in the Rocky Noun tains, where we hope she will get well and strong again. In her last letter to me she said she would soon be strong enough to come back to me, and that we'd get a little farm and live together"
 Gus voice was tense and full of emo- tion. He loved his mother devotedly, and the days that kept them apart seemed never ending, although his uncle and aunt gave him good home and were very fond of him. The man put his hand on the reins, looking into Gus face as he drew the horse to a slow walk. Well, look at me, Gussie, for I'm your dear mothers brother, and I've come at her request to take you out West to her She is so well and strong there that we've de- cided it is best for her to remain there. And we've bought her nice little farm all irrigated-for you to attend to. It's a melon farm, and 1 don't suppose you'll have hard work learning how to raise

And all the time

And on next Friday the Fair opens And .school closes for that day to give the kids n chance to attend the Fair two days Friday and Saturday. And I have meant all along to take you to the Fair and to carry off the blue ribbon tied about your little tall An, and now Aunt Mary wants to cast pearls before swi-before the Smiths, which is the same, I reckon, as what l meant to say. And l want to sneak you off to the Fair I don't want to tell Aunt and Uncle that I'm taking you 10 the Fair, for they'd say it was a lot of nonsense, for Uncle never bothers about taking his fine stock and produce to the Fair like the other farmers do. But I've raised you for the purpose of showing you, and l don't mean to allow you to be eaten till hundreds of admiring eyes have viewed you. So, l want you to thump GREEN, do you hear? And want to leave you here till tonight; then I'll pick you and hide you in the hayloft till day after tomorrow, when I'll take you in the back of the buggy-all GOV cred up-to the Fair. And I'll enter you for the first prize melon And now l aust thump you.'
 Gus bent oyer and softly dumped the
