There is a point where one’s income becomes so great that people pass from common, ordinarily covetous envy to a resignedly helpless state of mlnd They write down the figures of at income, stare at them and then uy. “Oh, shucks! There ain’t no such income!” That was the delight ful kind of income Uncle Horace had. Mrs. Stebbins and Mrs. Cromp, his two nieces, were so devoted to him uad said they counted it such a joy to have the dear old man's presence glorify thelr homes that they lost good sleep planning how to entice him away from each other. Morcover, each was firmly con- vinced that the other was a designing person. Since he had come to stay with Mrs. Stebbins for a few months she had felt that something was wrong with Uncle Horace. If it had not been for his income Uncle Horace would have heen a small, insignificant individual with pale eyes and an un- pleasant habit of wanting the best chair, and of sitting in the next room and couzhing when his niece had call- ers. U'nder the circumstances he was a reserved, original man with ideas of his own, which his relatives delighted to humor. What worrfed Mrs. Stelibins espe- cially was Uncle Horace's air of ab straction and his unwonted helpful- s8, Usnally he was under feet, in- ating everything that went on and getting in the way tremendously. On these oecasions Mrs, Stebhing wont to say, throngh her teeth, it was perfectly wonderful the way | Uncle Robert kept up. This time he paid no attention to what was going on in the house, but would sit deep in meditetion or stare out of the window. Mrs, Stebbins’ ’llrst fear was that he was losing his mind. She sald she would feel perfectly terrible if anything llke that hap- pened to the dear old man while he was under her care. She said she !never would be able to foryive her- | self, never! “Mebbe it's rheumatism,” Stebbins suggested, hopefully. “That is liable to make a man do almost anything!" “Don't you want some more blank- ’c-tn on your bed, Uncle Horace?" his i nlece asked him after this suggestion. “Are you perfectly comfortable?” “Thank you, Tilda, I'm perfectly comfortable,” Unc® Horace had re- sponded. “I guess I'll go after the [ This was really a double blow, for Uncle Horace normally was mot po- lite, and he always wanted anything that was offered him, no matter what it was, and also it was a long walk to the post office. | Mrs. Stebbins had begged him to let | little Johnny go and save his own l:(rnuuth, but Unele Horace had per- slsted. He said he felt that he ought I!n do something instead of sitting .nnulul and letting the family weur themeelves out waiting on him, and that he was glad to be of service, “Not in this rain, ‘Surely not when the wind is blowing a0, Uncle Horace!™ or “Don't worry me by going out in this snowstorm, Unele Horace!™ had not the remotest | effect upon him when he started to i elimb into his galoshes and wrappings ln go after the mail. Mrs. Stebbins said to her husband, tn starting at a sound and to flush at a word or an unexpected look, filled Mrs. Stebbins with alarm, That something awful was the matter wit} Uncle Horace she was convinced and she besought him to see a doctor. She made him jelly and fed him beef tea jespite his protests and tried in vain to get some intelligible conversation sut of him. Then one day he went after the mall and did not come back. Mrs. Stebbins had the whole town out searching for him. She wept as she looked on closet shelves and up trees snd In other impossible places and sald that nobody could know bow her heart bled at the idea that jarling old Uncle Horace might be In terrible danger that very moment.
