what would be the first impulse on
hearing story of this character?
III tell you. The first question would
be =" Why don't they take them off ?"
The natural instinct is to remove the

Eradication is accomplishing, aud it
needs only the active support of. every
broad-minded citizen to make it an
early success.
ANY man who to-day is harboring
ticks on his premises and not pro tect-
ing his cattle from the ravages of
these blood suckers. is cheating him
self. reducing his live stock assets,
and is him self an obstacle in the road
to progress.
Money used for carrying on the
business of Tick Eradication Is not
money spent, but should be consider
ed as az Investment, for the beoeits
to be derived when the ticks are eradi-
Gated ate manifold and the returns ia

were published in last weeks il

.atingly endorsed the bond is Tie
for good roads iu the Parish Of ST.

Franklin to work for it, vote for it
and tax Themselves for it at the
election on April 29;h.
TheMayor of franklin, Mr.. Chas
Lnuve, though ever jealous of the
rights of his town whose affairs he
has manag d for years with such
signal fd"lity and ability. still
mindful of the relative duties ex.
listing between municipality and
he people of parish wherein it
is situated. presented these reso-
buttons, 10 the Council and asked
that they be adopted. He and
his Council realize the fac, that
the benefits of a needful public
improvement. like good roads in
A parish, come alike to the rural
districts Though which the roads
I'D and the municipalities with
which they connect; that there
exists necessarily a community of
interest between them, aud that
there should be freely a concert of
action between them in esta blish-
ing and paying for good roads.
This sentiment. we feel, should
exist every where in the parish in
favor of the road tax. Then. ic

CHAPTER Il-Continued.

Soon a horse and buggy came for
us and 1 briefly answered Sally's good
bye before the man drove away with
me. I remember telling him as we
went on over the rough road, between
fields Of ripened grain, of my water
melon and my dog and my little pet
hen.
shall not try to describe that home
coming We found Aunt Deel In the
road five miles from home. She had
been calling and travelling from house
to house most of the night, and l
have never forgotten her Joy at seeing
me and her tender greeting. She got
into the buggy and rode home with
US. holding me in her zap. Uncle Pea
body and one of our neighbors had
been out in the woods all night with
pine torches. I recall how, although
excited by my return, he took off
his hat at the sight of my new friend
and said:
"Mr. Wright, I never wished that
lived in palace until now"
He didn't notice me until I held up
both feet and called: 'Look a. there,
Uncle Peabody"
Then he came and took me out of
the buggy and I saw the tears in his
eyes when he kissed me.
The man told of finding me on his
little veranda, and 1 told Of my ride
with Dug Draper, after which Uncle
Peabody said:
''I'm goin' to put in your boss and
feed him, Comptroller"
dinner ever cooked In my life" said
Aunt Deel.
When the great man had gone Uncle
Peabody took me in his lap and said
very gently and with a serious look ::
"You didn't think I meant 1t, did
ye?-that you would nave IL go way
from here?"
II don't know" was my answer.
"'Course I didn't mean that. / just
wanted We to see that it want going
to do for you to keep on tippin' things
over So"
That evening as / was about to go
upstairs to bed. Aunt Deel said to
my uncle:
"Do you remember what oil Kate
wrote down about him? This is his
first peril an he has met his first
great man an 1 can see that Sile
Wright is kind O. fond O. him."
1 went to sleep that night thinking
of the strange, old, ragged, silent
woman.

was placed beside them. Then I sat
or, as time went on in my small chair
beside him, while Aunt Deel adjusted
her spectacles and began to read.
remember wildly the evening we
took out the books and tenderly felt
their covers and read their titles.
There were "Cruikshanks' Comic Alma
nae" and floods Comic Annual;
tales by Washington Irving and James
K. Paulding and Nathaniel Hawthorne
and Miss Milford and Miss Austin;
the poems of John Milton and Felicia

of Washington, "The Life and Writ
ings of Doctor Duckworth," 1.-THE
Stolen Child" by "John Gait, Esq;
'tRosine Laval" by ''Mr. Smith; Ser
mons and Essays by William Ellery
Charming. We found in the box also,
thirty numbers of the UNITED States
Magazine and Democratic Review"
and sundry copies of the New York
Mirror"
Aunt Deel began with 'The Stolen
Child" She read slowly and often
paused for comment or explanation or
laughter or to touch the corner Of
an eye with a corner of her har-dker-
chief in moments when we We're all
deeply moved by the misfortunes Of
our favorite characters, which were
acute and numerous.
In those magazines we read of the
great West-"the poor mans para
dise"-"the stoneless land of plen-
ty"; Of it's delightful climate, of the
ease with which the farmer prospered
on its rich soil. Uncle Peabody spoke
playfully of going West, after that,
but Aunt Deel made no answer and
concealed her opinion on that sub
ject for a long time. As for myself,
the reading had deepened my inter-
est in the east and west and north
and south and In the skies above
