AUNT BETTY'S| | CROW
By DONALD ALIEN

Aunt Betty lived in poor little cot tage in the suburbs of the village. Her only income came from washing, though to be sure there were kind hearted people who were glad to help her out when her rheumatic spells came on and she could not use her hands. Her special patron was the merchants daughter, Miss May Ora ham. As a girl of twelve Miss May used to go over to the cottage and sweep and dust and cook and cheer the patient up. She had come to be nineteen. and yet the visits contin- ued.
 One day a tin peddler came along with something besides tinware to sell. It was a tame crow The bird could make a fair attempt at singing and talking. At least, be was lively crow, and it was purchased to be presented to Aunt Betty. who hadn't gooo luck keeping a cat about the house. The birds antics and chatter would be diversion MT. Crow was tied by the leg for a week, and then he had no thought Of flying away It came to be known whose crow he was and the stone-throwing boys did not bother him.
 Miss May had been in the city Tor four days. to find upon her return that Aunt Betty's hands and arms were aching with rheumatism. The doctors had said that she could never be free from the ailment. but she all ways found temporary relief by rub ping the fresh plant of the wintergreen over the affected parts. Many and many an armful of the plant had the girl gathered. She had to go down the highway a bit and then turn aside to when the creek ran through a marshy spot On this day she left the cot tage almost on the run, and the crow followed, scolding her for her long absence. While she gathered the plants he sat on the limb of a dead tree not far away
 Presently the girl heard the chug of an auto, but she hadn't the curiosity Co look up. She heard 1t halt a few yards away. but 1t could have nothing Ao do with her.
 "A splendid target. but I'll wager you don't hit it!"
 Three to one l dol"
 Miss May straightened up in breath. There were two young men in the auto. and one had a pistol on the tame crow. who was looking down without fear.
 ~Don'tl Don't shootl"
 It was too late. The shot rang out and the poor bird fell. \ Miss May a=agl down the plants sht had gath

 Now, the very first bar of the over ture contained a tremolo for the drum. and when this had been per formed the player remarked. Now l course, I will skip" This was too good a chance to be lost 70. no" said the composer. by all means count the 7s bars; particularly want to hear those" Rossini's whimsical ity extended even to his birthday Having been born on February 29, in leap year, he had, of course. a birth day once in four years, and when he was seventy-two he facetiously in- vited his friends to celebrate his eighteenth birthday.
 The late Sir Arthur Sullivan made his acquaintance in Paris. One morn ing. when Sullivan called to see him. he found him trying over small piece of music. What is that?" asked Sullivan Its my dogs birth day." replied. very seriously. "and l write Q little piece for him every year"
 When Rossini was once rehearsing one of his operas in a small theater in Italy he noticed that the horn was out of tune. 'Who is that playing the horn in such an unholy way?" he demanded. 'Tt is l." said a tremu- lous voice. "Ah, it is you. is it? Well. go right home" It was his own ia therl

White Felt Hats.

Although every one may not accep, the fashion for white felt hats in hot weather, it Is probable that they will be the first choice as soon as the cool weather comes back. They will make admirable early fall hats. simply trim med, with a bow of black velvet or taffeta ribbon.
 One should not attempt to put any thing ornate on them. although 1t is probable we shall see them trimmed in morning glories. in cherries, ip plums, and in small red apples.

 "You-you ruf1anI" she exclaimed at the young man who still held the revolver in his hand
 In her indignation she did not take notice whether he was young or old, fair or ugly. All she did notice was that he had big black eyes, and her big blue ones looked straight into them Rs she continued:

 Miss May stepped to the spot where the dead crow lay. and picking 1t up in her arms she returned and said:

 Please don't be too harsh on me I'm willing to do anything tC make good. Where does this Aunt Betty live? I'll try and make 1t right with her"
 The girl passed him the crow, went back for her plants. and when she re- turned she led the way to the cottage. crying a little and saying never a word. The black-eyed man walked be- side her, while the other drove the auto to the inn.

 And shooting a crow-and your pitching into him-and he coming here and begging my pardon-and he re- placing Dickie-and then falling in love with yoS-is that what young folks call romance?"
 Aunt Bet, are you really going out of your mind? ?" was the reproof as Miss May hurried out of the house.
 MT. Adison Bruce did not leave the village with his companion. He set tied right down there.
