the young sister whose child had now
come to live with her But on the
night OF Billys arrival the stern, mar
row woman sat for hours in her rock
ing chair, her mind busy with thoughts
of that pretty young sister, dead since
the boys birth.
Ard now the wild, reckless, d.ssl-
pated brother-in-law was dead, too,
ard the child had been sent to her;
to the aunt who did not want him,
who did not care for children, who
had never forgiven her sister her un-
fortunate marriage IF he had only
been a girl" she sighed. What she
believed to be a happy thought en-
tered her brain.
81 shall rear him." she promised
herself, lust as if he were a little
girl; then he will be both a pleasure
and comfort to me, and a compan-
ion for my loneliness"
Miss Minerva was strictly method
ical; she worked ever by the clock,
so many hours for this, so many for
that William, she now resolved, FOR
the first time becoming really inter-
ested in him, should grow up to be
model young man, splendid and
wonderful piece of mechanism, fine,
practical, machine-,ike individual,
moral, upright, religious. She was
glad that he was young; she would
begin his training on the morrow. She
would teach him to sew, to sweep, to
churn, to cook, and when he was old
er he should be educated for the mir
istry.
"Yes." said Miss Minerva; Il snail
be very strict with him Just at first,
and punish him for the slightest dis
obedience or misdemeanor. and he
will soon learn that my authority Is
not to be questioned"
And the little boy who had never
had a restraining hand laid upon him
in his short life? He slept sweetly
and innocently In the next room,
dreaming of the care-free existence on
the plantation and of his idle, happy.
negro companions.

Jesus sake. Amen"
What is that you have tied around
your neck. William?" she asked, as
the little boy rose TO his feet
That's my rabbit foot; you won't

can't never conjure you if you wears
a rabbit foot. This here one is the
lef' hin foot; it was ketched by red
headed niger with cross-eyes in a
graveyard at twelve O'Clock on FRI

He give it TO Aunt Cindy to tie 'roun'

NO." she answered. 81 have never
had one and have never been con-
6ured either. Give it to me, William;
I can't allow you to be superstitious,"
and she held out her hand.

wear it tonight" he pleaded. me an
Wilkes Booth Lincoln's been wearin'
us rabbit foots ever sence ives born"
NO." she said firmly; "I'll put a
stop to such nonsense at once. Give
it to me, William"
Billy looked up at his aunt's aus
tere countenance and lovingly fin
gered his charm; he opened his
mouth to say something, but hesi-
tated; slowly he united the string
around his neck and laid his treasure
on her lap; then without looking up,
he ran into his own little room, clos
ing the boz behind him.
Soon afterward Miss Minerva, hear
ing a sound like stifled sob coming
from the adjoining room, opened the
door softly and looked into sad, lit
tie face with big, wide, open eyes
shining with tears.
What is the matter, William" she
coldly asked.
II amt never slep' by myself" he
sobbed. wilkes Booth Lincoln al

His aunt sat down on the bed by
his side. She was not versed In the
ways of childhood, and could not know
that the little boy wanted to pillow
his head on Aunt Cindy's soft and am
pie bosom, that he was homesick for
his black friends, the only companions
he had ever known.
"T'll tell you e Bible story" she
temporized. "You must not be a baby.
You are not afraid. are you, William?
God Is always with you"
81 don't want no God" he sullenly
made reply; 'T wants somebody with
sho' 'nough skin an bones, an'-an' |

"I will tell you Bible story"
again suggested his aunt. II will tell
you about"
"I DON want to hear no Bible story.

voice:

Billys idea OF bath was taken
from the severe weekly scrubbing
which Aunt Cindy gave him with a
hard washrag. and he felt that he'd
rather die at once than have to bathe
every day.
He followed his aunt dolefully to
the bathroom at the end of the long
back porch Of the old-fashioned, one
rtory house; but once In the big
white tub he was delighted.
In fact, he stayed in 1t 80 long
Miss Minerva had to knock on the
door and tell him to hurry up and
get ready for breakfast.

beautiful, expressive little face shono

Miss Minerva realized that now was
the time to begin her small nephew's

to speak correctly she must begin at

A few minutes later, as Miss MI
nerva sat rocking and thinking. the
door opened and lean, graceful, little
figure, clad In a skinny. gray union
suit, came into the room.
Amt | a-goin' to say no prayers"
demanded a sweet, childish voice.

why, of course you must say your
prayers" said his aunt. blushing at
having to be reminded Of her duty by
this young heather; "kneel down here

Billy looked at his aunt's bony
frame and thought Of Aunt enjoys
soft, fat, ample lap. A wistful look
crossed his childish face as he
dropped down in front OF her and laid
his head against her knee, then the
bright, beautiful little face took on an
angelic expression as he closed his
eyes and softly chanted:
Now I lays me down to sleep,

II should die befo / wake.

"Ill sing you a hymn" said Miss

AS his aunt could think Of no sub
stitute with which TO tempt him In
lieu of Sanctified 5ophy's shouting,
she remained silent.

nephew.
Miss Minerva remained silent She
felt unable TO cope with the situation
till she had adjusted her thoughts and
made her plans.
Presently Billy. looking at her
shrewdly, said:
Gimme my rabbit foot, Aunt MI
nerva, an I'll go right off to sleep"
When she again looked In on him
he was fast asleep. rosy flush on his
babyish, tear-stained cheek, his red
lips half parted. his curly head pill

his soft, young throat there nestled

Billy was sitting quietly in the big
lawn-swing when his aunt, dressed for
the street, finally came through the
front door.

said. ~ want to buy you some things
