CHAPTER VIII.
The Anniversary,

About this time Blossy developed a
tendency to draw Brother Abraham
aside at every opportunity, convenient
or inconvenient, In order to put such
questions as these to him:
Didn't you say it Is fully thirty-f1ve
years since you and Captain Darby
were on the beach together? Do you
think he has grown much older? Had
he lost his hair then? Did he care
for the opposite sex? Was he very
brave-or would you say more brave
than stubborn and contrary? Isn't 1t
a blessing that never married him ?''
Fearful Of the ridicule of the sisters.
Blossy was always careful to conduct
these inquiries in whispers, or at least
In undertones with great observance
of secrecy, sometimes stopping Abe on
the stairs, sometimes reckoning him
to her side when she was busy about
requiring his assistance. On one oc-
casion she even went so far as to In
yeigle him into holding a skein of
wool about his clumsy hands, while
she wound the violet worsted into q
ball, and delicately inquired II he be-
lieved Samuel spoke the truth when
he protested that he had never paid
court to any other woman.
Alas, Blossy's frequent tete-a-tetes
with the amused but sometimes impa-
tient Abraham started an exceedingly
foolish suspicion. When, asked the
sisters Of one another, did Abe ever
help any one, save Blossy, shell dried
beans or pick over prunes? When had
he ever been known to hold wool for
Angy's winding? Not once since
wooing time, l warrant you. What
could this continual hobnobbing and
going of into corners mean, except
Irritation?
Ruby Lee whispered it first into
Aunt Nancy's good ear. Aunt Nancy
INDUCED In four pinches of snuf II,
rapid succession, sneezed an amazing
number of times, and then acridly in
formed Ruby Lee that she was "ieal-
pus cat" and always had been one.
However, Aunt Nancy could not re-
train from carrying the gossip to Miss
Ellie, adding that she herself had been
suspicious of Abe's behavior from the
start
"Oh. no, mol" cried the shocked and
shrinking spinster And Angy SO
cheerful all the time? / don't believe
It"
But whisper, whisper, buzz, buzz,
wens the gossip, until finally 1t reached
the pink little ears at the side of
Miss Abigail's generously proportional
head. The pink ears turned crimson,
likewise the adjoining cheeks, and
Miss Abigail painted with righteous in
dignation.
1T all comes of this plagued old
winter time" she declared, sharply
biting her thread. for she was mend
ing tablecloth. "Shet the winders on
summer, an yew ketch the tail of
SANDER In the latch every time. Naow,
eff I hear one word about this 'tarnal
foolishness comm to Angy's ears. or
Brother Abe's. or Blossy's either, fer
that matter, We'll all have to eat off'n
oil-cloth Sundays, the same as week
days, until l see a more Christian
sperit In the house."
She gave the Sunday damask across
her lap a pat which showed she was
IN earnest; and the rebuked sisters
glanced at one another. as If to say:
Suppose the minister should walk
in some Sabbath afternoon and find
oil-cloth on the table, and ask the rea-
son why?"
They one and all determined to take

For two hundred years, says the
Boston Transcript, the fact that these
houses had existed was known, though
their location was uncertain, but in
1909 their foundations were discov-
cred in the digging of the Cambridge
subway. Both houses antedated the
founding of the college in 1886, but
their history prior to that date is OBJ
scure. The inscription on the tablet
is as follows:
Near this spot, as indicated in the

Fortunately, too, the February thaws
had already set in, and the remainder
Of the winter passed without any Sc

at length the welcome spring began to
peep forth, calling to the old folks,
Come out, and grow young with the
young year,"
With the bursting forth of the new
springtide the winters talk seemed to
drop as withered and dead oak leaf
falls from it's winter-bound branches;
and Abe stood once more alive to the
blessings of renewed approval.
Angy went out Of doors with Miss
Abigail, and puttered around among
the flowers as If they were her own,
thanking God for Abe's increasing pop
ulartty in the same breath that she
gave thanks for the new buds of the
spring.
The anniversary of the Roses en-
trance into the Home drew nearer, and
Blossy suggested that the best way
to celebrate the event would be by
means of a pink tea"
Neither Angy nor Abe, nor in fact
half the sisters, had any clear concep-
ton Of what tinted, function might
be; but they one and all seized upon
Blossy's idea as if 1t were a veritable
inspiration, and for the time jealousies
were forgotten, misunderstanding
erased.
Such preparations as were made for
that tea! The deaf-and-dumb gar
dener was sent with a detachment of

as chairman, who in turn has ap-
pointed various committees, the event
looms up as one that will be enjoyed

One of the important events of this

enter the contest for Queen Of the
Carnival. Fifteen Of Pensacolas
most popular young ladies have al
| lowed their names to be used for this
contest. From among this number
a queen and six maids will be voted
on. The contest will not be ended
until few weeks before Mardi Gras
but the very fact that the ones who
are to enter the contest will be an.
nounced will serve as an interesting
incentive to attend the Thanksgiving
ball.

FARMERS NEED THE BIRDS
struction of Feathered Songsters Should Be Stopped.

Birds are the chief protectors of our trees. Who ever heard of cod ling moth and San Jose and other scales when the orchards were full of birds? Now that these feathered helpers have been driven out of wood and field, man is compelled to resort to all sorts of vexatious and difficult struggles against the enemy of fruit and tree.
 The birds are the very best destroy CTS of weeds. Native sparrows, finches, grosbeaks, redpolls, longspurs, cow birds, mourning doves and similar birds feed hungrily upon the fall weed seeds at time when the crops have been gathered and they can do no harm to it.
 The best helper farmer can have is host of birds. But instead of rec ognizing these efficient helpers, so generously provided by nature, we wantonly slay them by the hundreds for rfun.-Kendallville News-Sun.
