They talked there a good half hour. and when Uncle Jerry came out he looked as if he'd been drawed through a ’uothole. He looked like a man who had been made to “renounce the world, the flesh and the devil, and all his stinginess to once," Mis’ Hapkins said, laughing in her sleeve. vâ€" “_ vv VQQ.

They dxscussed and considered over the matter for a few minutes, then went together to the house. They found Aunt Betsey layin' jist the same only she stopped cryln’.

Then they had. Miss Trim. the dressmaker, come over and fit her a pretty flannel wrapper and help Mary make it. \Vhen it was fin- ished they sewed some lace in the neck and sleeves, and it was nice and lady- like enough for anybody. When Uncle Jerry fast see her in it he actewally blushed and Ioooked as bashful n’ awk- ‘ard as if he'd come a-oonrtin’. As for Aunt Betsey, from the minqte 31b; pe- gun to hope" she begun to get we 1, and seemed as if she was growin’ young and pretty all the time. There was jest about a week to Thanksgivin’ now, and he and Mary put their heads together to make that Thanksgivin’ a day that Aunt Betsey’d remember as long as she lived. Mary Buell said she never see a changeder man that what he was, all through. ‘ ‘ _ A After Uncle Jerry got fairly start- ed on the right track, it seemed to be easy enough for him to keep aâ€"goin’. \Vhen he began to spend his money he seemed to almost enjoy it. The fact was, he set the world by his wife, only he never realized it ’till the thought 0‘ losin’ her and the doctor’s rakin’ down brought him to his senses. He see that’ if he wanted to get her up again he must make her happy and of- fer her inducements to live. So he set about it in earnest. That night Uncle Jerry harnessed the old mare and wrnt over and got Mary Buell ‘to come ’n’ stay with ’em a spell. Mary’s an excellent good band in case 0’ sickness, and bein’ an old maid, she’s alwers readv to go and dew for the neighbours.

Then, as if struck by somethin’ in his looks, she seemed to get a dim idee that he was different, and she tried to make out how it was, but couldn’t, and, bein’ too tired and weak to think much, she jest she}; her eyes and give it all up. The strangest expression come into her face you ever see in any creature‘s, Seeged as if she thought qt mat :â€" “I want you to get well, Betsey. I want you to get well I” he managed to say.

I’m afraidâ€"I’m afraid it ain’t wuth while!” “ Only three dollars a gallon,” he an- swered, tryin’ to smile, but lookin’ rather ghastly. She sipped it slow, eyein' him 'over the top 0’ the tumbler as she done so; but pretty soon she set it down and spoke again, awful meachin‘ and ’pealin”, her lips tremâ€" blin‘: as if she was goin’ to cry.

But when he logged in the jug 0' wine and poured out a full half a tumbler full and handed it to her, her eyes fairly stuck out of her head with astonish- ment.

The Kobe City Band led the proces- sion and played modern airs, while at intervals groups of dancing girls and members of the theatrical profession, who performed pantomime allegories to illustrate the nobility of Mr. Kume- kawa's character and the loss that was suffered by the community at his death. Just before reaching the gates of the cemetery the processron was halted, and several photographs were taken. N-After the coffin had been lowered into the grave and covered with floral offerings, the funeral party proceeded to the Jinko Club, where an elaborate feast was served, and speeches eulogistic of Mr. Kame- tawa were delivered by several of his friends. Mr. Kumekawa was thor. oughly satisfied with the success of his funeral, although it cost him a large sum} of money. After the ceremontes at the house were concluded, a processzon was form- ed,, which marched through the prin- cipal streets to the cemetery. Mr. Kumekawa waiked in front of his own coffin. The fioral offerings were numerous and beautiful. He 'l‘rlumphantly Rehearsed His Own Funeral at Great Expense. A curious incident is related by the Japanese papers about Mr. Kumekawa, of Kobe, who, like every other intelli- gent Japanese, desxred that his fun- eral should be attended by ceremon- ies appropriate to his rank and social position. In order that he might not be disappointed in this respect, hav- ing reached his seventy-seventh year, and feeling that his days were: num- bered, be determined to have his fun- eral in advance and makej the arrange- ments himself. On the day appointed his relatives and friends were invited to his house and gathered around anl empty coffin with all the parapher- nalia of mourning and engaged in the most elaborate Buddhist ceremony that could be devised. Mr. Kume- kawa sat at the head of the casket and watched with interest all that was going on. THE FUTURE UNFOLDED. Uncle Jerry got away as quick as he could, and went out to the barn and set down on the hay-cutter and laughed and wiped his eyes till he wuz some calmer. Then he fell on his knees and thanked God reverently for showin’ him before he died what true happiness mum. and how to get it for himself by bestowin' it on others. YWhien she was fixed. comfortable he started to leave her. for he felt that he couldn't stan’ much more; but she put her arm round his neck and_pulled him down to her and kissed him and whispered:â€" The stage had stopped, and there was the sound 0' voices talkin' and laughin', and of feet hurryin' up the steps.
