barest necessities. He had driven his
son away from home and then blamed
him for not returning, humble and
penitent. Most Of his time was spent
in his garden. It was the only thing
he seemed to care for.
Z Having given his wife orders to
write that they had no place for their
grandchild, the old man took 1t Tor
granted that the matter was settled
and walked out of the house.
It was on the second of July that
Jonathan BRADSHAW, who was busy in
his garden. heard the hinges Of the
gate squeaking. He looked up and
saw a little boy who had just stepped
inside. No little boy had ever entered
there before. Jonathan BRADSHAW

his wife was afraid to go into it.
The little boy stood for awhile, look
ing at the hard" old man who was
half leaning upon his hoe.
WELL" the old man asked, what do
you want here?"
Il want to come in and help you.
the little boy replied. b

'tAre you my grandpa"
"Your grandpa? What do you
mean?"
"I'm Henry. Grandma told me you
was out here all alone"
Jonathan BRADSHAW dropped his hoe
and began rubbing the dirt from his
hands
"How did you get here?" he asked.
81 came all by myself on the train"
the little boy said. my papa put me
in the car and grandma was waiting
for me when I got here. My mamma
is very sick"
There was big apple tree in one
corner of the garden, near the gate.
Under it was a seat which Jonathan
BRADSHAW had made for himself. He
went to it and sat down.
Come here" he said.
The little aboy went to him and
leaned upon his knee.
The old man had a hard" look, but
in spite of that the little boy bore
strong resemblance to him.

glorious Fourth. .
$3.50 p. m.-What do you s'pose
found when I got downstairs again ?
Three sticks Of punk and a box of
safety matches. Aunt Jane said she'd
talked it over with Uncle Habakkuk,
and she didn't think that boy,
brought up as had been, should be
deprived entirely of the amusements
he had been used to-this is more of
Aunt Jane kind of talk-so Uncle Hab-
akkuk got the punk and the matches.
Yes, and I've been sitting on the porch
lighting matches with punk and punk

and Aunt Jane if couldn't go to the
town park and see the rockets. They
said no; l might be hit by stick.

Searching Criticism.

Five-year-old Herbert, scion of a
bookish family, had learned to read
SO early and so readily that his first
glimpses of storyland were growing
hazy in his memory. One day he con.
fided to his mother. "Ruthie showed
me her new book today, and it's the
queerest thing you ever saw. Why,
it just says, is it dog? 1t is a dog.

Greenville get ahead of Paddington in

evening. It will be in charge of men
who know how to handle such things,
and you can readily see that it will be
much bigger and more thrilling than
it would be If everybody celebrated
in his own way. Besides, there will be
no chance for the boys to lose their
fingers or have their eyes put out.
