MISS HEPPY'S NEPHEW By CLARISSA MACKIE, When Amy Finch locked the schoolhouse door after the last whooping boy had scurried down the slope and disappeared around Lone Pine Bend a great depression seized her heart. Christmas at Lone Pine—among strangers in the tiny settlement nes- tled in a valley among the snowy cattle ranges of Montana! Christmas away from her own people for the first time in her life! No wonder the lump came into her throat and her pretty gray eyes filled with tears, Amy was smiling through her tears when Miss Heppy came tramping around a bend in the trail, looking like a big brown bear in her brown garments and brown fur hood. “Thought I'd come and meet you,” said Miss Heppy, turning about to fall into a step with the girl who was just halt her own age. “I've got to go to Lone Pine and I wanted to tell you that supper was all ready on the stove. Purdy’s going to drive me. Want to go?” “No, thank you,” said Amy. “I am very tired. You know we had Christ- mas exercises today.” “Humph! You've worn yourself | out making presents for your folks!” retorted Miss Heppy, looking ecritl cally at her boarder. “Well, you go along home; I guess you'll find a big box there that came by parcel post today. I reckon it's from your folks. There, don’t hug me to death, chilg! Well, here’s Purdy waiting for me! A YUNG MAN's SCHEME By M. QUAD Copyright, 1913, by Associated Lit- erary Press “Gaul durn her picture, but I love ber!” The young man who uttered the words was at work in the field, and he straightened up to rest his weary back and mutter: “And T'll make her love me before I'm through with ber! She may think I don’t amount to shucks, but all I want is a chance to prove that I do. Durn farm work! Durn widders! Durn love! Durn everything!" He kicked the fence to show his dis- gust and wearlly resumed work. Ebe- nezer Schermerhorn, hired man, was in love with the Widow Tompkins, whose farm adjoined that of his boss on the west. Ebenezer was twenty- four years old, plain of face and un- gainly of form and without a hundred dollars’ ‘worth of property. One evening as he dropped in to see the widow about borrowing some farm implement next day he found her read- ing a love story. She read a few chap- ters to him and afterward acknowl- edged that she had always been ro- mantic and that If she ever married again it would be to a hero. The farmer's hired man didn’t rush right off that night and try to be a hero, | but sat down and did some thinking. Three or four days after Ebenezer's thinking bee a tramp came along the road and. seeing the young man hoeing corn just over the fence, halted for a word or two. Ordinarily Ebenezer would have leaped the fence and run the wayfarer half a mile, but on this occasion he invited him over to the corn and sat down with him for a con- fidential conversation. The result of that conversation was that at 8 o'clock that evening the tramp appear- ed before the Widow Tompkins and made threats of what he would do if she didn't set out victuals, hunt up old clothes and come down with a dollar in cash. Ebenezer was not far away—just far enough to come running up and knock the tramp head over heels and rescue the widow. But as he started to come running he fell down and got tangled up with the bushes, and before he could get away the widow had broom- sticked the tramp into flight. She Good-by, and be sure you keep the doors locked. We'll be home by dark, sure!” Amy waved good-by to them, and: when the sleigh had disappeared be- vond the snowy ridge that was red- dened by the setting sun, she wnllud' rapidly toward the little ranch house which was the abode of Heppy Brown, spinster. Smoke curled from the chimney and the windows were afire with the sunset. Amy unlocked the door and hurried into her own room to ecry over the precious box, directed in her father's handwriting, and so hearts rendingly reminiscent of home and dear ones. But she would not open the box until Christmas morning. She ate the supper Miss Heppy had left for her | In the cozy kitchen and, after wash- ing up the dishes she took the black | cat Vixen for company and went into the living room. Several hours passed; the fire sang on the wide hearth, Vixen purred comfortably in Amy's lap, and from' outside came the eerle hooting of & snow owl. Suddenly the door opened and the tall form of a man was framed against the snowy fields, bathed in moonlight. Then the man uttered a long sigh and fell prone upon the floor. Amy screamed and dropped the cat. When she reached the man’s side she saw that a handkerchief was tied ' about his head and the white linen' was wet with blood from a wound under the thick fair hair. She turned his face to the door so that the fresh, crisp air could revive ! him, and with deft fingers that trem. | bled from an unaccustomed task, she found the wound and bound it as best' she could. Presently he opened surprised gray, eves and smiled at her in a friendly | manner. “Something happened,” he announced dazedly. “You have been hurt—you hlntafl at the door,” explained Amy as she held a glass to his lips. “Perhaps didn't say she was glad that the would be hero was so near at hand. What she did say was that she wasn't afraid of any tramp walking the roads. Ebenezer's first try was a failure, but within a fortnight he was ready for another. Two or three farmhouses in the township had been robbed, and this fact became the basls for bis sec- ond plan, One night at midnight he left his bed, descended to earth by way of a window, and, armed with a club, he became a guard for the wid- ow's house. He circled around it and patrolled the garden and the orchard, and he felt that he would give a year of his life if a robber would appear. He would first fell him and then arouse the house, and when the widow came to know that he had been guarding her for love her heart would melt toward him, But no robber came. Instead of that his footsteps awoke the widow, and, peering out, she saw some one walking about, and she got a shotgun and raised a window and blazed away. The gun was loaded with bird shot to shoot hawks that might come swooping down on chickens, but in this case they an- swered just as well for a man. Eben- ezer received about twenty of them and ran two miles to a doctor to have them picked out. He also had a va- cation from work for a week under the excuse that he had sprained his back turning over in bed. Ninety-nine out of every hundred would be heroes would have given up right here, but Ebenezer was a man to hang on. It was while he was limp- ing around on his vacation and doing a lot of standing up and wandering over the fields that he came upon the widow fishing in the river at a certain point. He did not show himself, but fifty feet from where she sat under a tree he discovered a bumblebees' nest in the grass. It was a large and Ilb- eral nest, and it gave him a thought. The bees wouldn't bother anybody so long as they were let alone. If stirred up they would look for meat.

As respects children, for the first five years they utter nelther truth nor falsehood—they only speak. Thelr talk is think- | ing aloud, and, as one half of their thought is often an affirma- tive and the other a negative and, unlike us, both escape from them, they seem to lie, while they are only talking with them- selves. Besides, at firat they love to sport with their new art of speech and so talk nonsense merely to hear themselves. Of- ten they do not understand your question and give an erroneous rather than a false reply. We may ask, besides, whether, when children seem to imagine and falsify, they are not often relat. ing thelr remembered dreams, which necessarily blend in them with actual experience.~Jean Paul Richter. | !
