altogether certain as yet that i have con- quered but im going to conquer letty wns a city young lady from the sound of handorgan and truckwheels she had come out to the country solitudes inji tired of my place nt shoelace it buttons said she its positively ruin ous to the complexion to stand all day long behind a counter and every one needs a little change whats tlio use of n rich old aunt in the country if one cant utilize her id like to know invited oh of oonrse i havent been invited aunt willow never invites any one shcfs misanthropic and detests yojing people particularly girlb and more particularly pretty girls so i decided to invite myself and yon will see that i shall take thelort without show of guns nobody ever yet resisted me good- by dear come over to willow farm the day

mountains and who had thereby become the confidante of the fair letty for fair bhe certainly was with pink- andwhite cheeks like a french doll yellow hair banged in an infantile fashion on her forehead and white teeth that shone like a row of pearls whenever she optened her coral red lips yes letty prloe was always pretty miss richfield reluctantly admitted but if ever there was a selfish heartless little wretch that wretch is letty rrice she was always getting the other girls to do her work and compelling them to bear her blame ftnd endure her burdens bhe never- bd either heart or conscience and now she means to settle herself down on this poor aunt of hers spend all her money nd make her support her in genteel idleness hateful little thing 1 i hope shell find the stint a match for her j and miss richfield began tp gather her bags jliftwlatp and parpele together as the train slowed np for east brackton i letty price walked along the lane aingj ing as she went bhe had left her tmnk with the station agent to be oalled for and carried only her bag and scarf and the toylike japanese parasol j daisies 1 why there were all the daisies one could pick here and np to this time

comprehend said letty stooping to pick a goldenheart daisy that grew close to her footsteps how far did you say it was only a few steps well im avyfrilly glad of that its too warm for walking far and without farther sympathy or ques tioning lotty passed on ive enough of my own affairs to attend to without troubling about other peoples thought letty lifting her blue eyes to the treetops with heavenly sweetness of as pect miss willow was sitting down to her afternoon cup of tea when letty crossed the threshold oh j dear me said slie ive just got rid of 0110 of them and here comes another dear aunt willow letty cried dram atically flinging open her arms yes said mies willow without mov ing sit down tell what it all means i hope you dont expect to stay this was rather discouraging but letty smiled resolutely on it was not possible that a little dried up old woman with hooked birdofproy nose and no visible teeth could hold out long against such pinkandwhito fascinations ns hers she told her pathetic tale inventing a stern employer a jealous forewoinan treacherous fellowshopgirls and a cruel mother- to help soften the heart of her auditor i may stay dear aunt willow she mnrmured clasping the pretty hands that were dimpled in every joint like ft babys why i spposayoull havo to for the present unwillingly conceded the old lady praps you can help around a little and be usefuh

golden rules and mind you dont go- prying and peeping about thats the ono thing i cant stand letty smiled sweetly and detefmined that aunt willow never should know how mnch of mother eves weakness she had inherited him cried letty v wont you cut him down what for demanded miss willow what in ths name of creation should i its it dear delicious old house thought jshc and im determined to find out qicry nook and corner in it of course there is soma handsome young farm- hand about for me to practice on until i srnpo acquaintance with tlio doctor and parson and ull the set im sure aunt willow is a miser with a lot of gold and jewelry hidden away somewhere im sure theres a mysterious secret concealed in one of those rooms that she keeps locked up iu the second story and im morally certain that thems a ghost in the cellar or a phantom in tho garret aunt willows a horrid disagreeable old cat she has never once alluded to my eyes or praised my com plexion since i have been here but even old cats oan live more than nine lives out and i am determined to mako my wiiy into her good graces thus jlcttylaid siege to fortress wil low j i it wasttho third night after her j arrival she and iliss willow had differed in some important particulars and letty who was used to b ling spoildd and petted and having her own way had gone up stairs in high dudgeon slamming the door behind her she dont liko it observed aunt willow to herself well thqu let her lump it f and the old lady tied her baldeagle head him np with a mask and an old hat and oho of grandfather willows butferndt suits to keep the crowb out of the spring com and i just hung him- there until the winter wheat came around and if yon had kept your nose out of other peoples rooms you never wonld havo takenhim for a snicido letty crimsoned and shrank away of all things she disliked being put iu a ridi culous light y now seo heroicroakcd aunt willow looking moro likri a ruffled bird of prey than ever ive had enough of this and

be said about her shcii a mean trick of letty prices to try all the keys in the house till she found ono that would open the red chamber what was she expecting todiscover i wonder ive often thought that bluebeard wasnt so much to blame as folks said and miss willow brewed a double por- tion of catnip tea to compose her nerves saturday night t the royalty of character bishop fowler in one of hist recent ser- mous said v ajler all there is nothing in this world but character this great truth he illustrated by a graphic picture of the days of the war when lee and his generals met on one of the streets of chambersburg pa and after consulation decided to march to gettys burg instead of harrisburg a plain farm ers boy heard the conversation from a second story window overlooking the sceno below and thin following the column to see that they focc the road to gettysburg he hastened to a telegraph office and tele graphed to governor curtin saying that lee had gone to gettysburg curtin sent for the boyi wbo was takvn to him by a special engine at tho raje- of sixtyfive miles an hour ae they stood around him the governor said j i would give my righthaud to know that this lad tells the truth a corporal at headquarters knew the boy and said governor curtin i know that boy i lived in the same neighbor hood and i know it is absolutely impossible for him to lie i there is not a drop of false blood in his veins i in five minutes the aews went to head quarters and fiftoen minutes from that time the troops were pushing toward gettysburg character said the bishop is the core ou which the world turns it is the pivot of destiny let us not worry about reputation but let us sec to it that our characters are right reputation is the dust at which swine become frightened iu the street character is the jewel that blazes ou the bow of royalty reputation is the breath of the heated mob char acter is the verdiet of the eternal judge i- ol peice three cents cuttl xg down expenses mullem
