The thin, trembling lips tightened as she continued: ‘“Those .Plumbs! They're such a careless, . happy-go-lucky, shiftless lot. I have , determined tbat neither Annette nor ‘her brother, Stacy, shall come here : again with my consent until that um« brella is found.” “Don’t worry!” Eileen returned qui- I don’t think they want to % When lending the umbrella to An- nette Eileen had whispered: “Return it as soon as possible, dearie; Aunt Polly values it for thie sake of bygone assoclations.” And careless little An- nette, their neighbor, had promised with & gweet little giggle to return lt within 24 hours. Kver since that time she had stoutly "maintained that she brought back the umbrella the night of Eileen's candy party, and that she had set it in the . corner of the little entry at the foot of the stairway. That was three months ago, and Stacy and Annette had ceased to visit the Waverlys; for Aunt Polly, al- * though constantly forgetting things of | greater importance, always remem- 1 bered to ask each time she saw them 11! the umbrella had been found yet, and fair-minded Eileen could not blame ithem for remalning away, although she missed them terribly. ‘When spring came the mystery was . as far from being solved as ever. Eileen had grown pale and thin, Stacy had gone to a distant city to work. Annette now greeted Eileen very coldly, and Aunt Polly, tiresome- gathered pails, brooms, brushes and soap, and sang at her work. She jerked up the cover of the large box in which they kept the extra bedding, Her brown eyes widened in surprise as¢ something went crashing to the flovr, and with a little scream of joy she seized the old blue umbrella and hugged it closely. No one could com- plain of lack of color in Eileen's cheeks now as, clutching tightly the umbrella, she ran swiftly down the stairs to the sitting room, where her aunt rocked slowly back and forth by the window. “See what I found in the bedding box,” she shouted joyously, and Aunt Polly's face turned slowly to an ashy gray, while it in turn expressed sur- prise, pleasure and—yes—chagrin. “Why, Eileen! You have found the umbrella,” she cried faintly. “But, Eileen, where did you find 1t"" she asked, breathlessly. And then, again, with a slight wrinkling of her torehend, “Who could have placed it in the box?” “I wonder,” was all that Elleen sald. 1t happened that Stacy came home the next day for a short visit, and after Eileen had told her story he re mained silent for a moment. “Kileen!"” he cried at last, “don’ you femember that we cleared out the lower bedroom the night of the candy party to make room for playing games? And don’t you remember that as 1 GOT YOUR HOGS and HOG HOUSE INSURED UYep.l' B “Got your life insur- ed?” “Nope.” l “Well, if 1 didn’t think I was of more benefit to my family than a bunch of hogs, I wouldn’t have my life insured, either.” D.

Just Plumb careless ness.'” But Aunt Polly received the expla- nation very quietly and not at all as she was expected to. ' Afterward El- leen found her crying softly. “Forgive me, Eily,” she sobbed. “Oh, I have been so hateful.

And, Eily, 1 thought perhaps you knew where it was and wouldn’t tell me.
