The pathetic little ; proceaaion had
wound its way down the dusty road arid
over the brow of the- hill, tearing the
snnghine of the valley, the well, tilled
acres, the spreading orchard and the
pleasant old farmhouse, that had meant
much to the heart of Martin Ramsey,
but' to which he would never more re
turn. '
"Law me,'' wheezed Mrs. Tinkler;
wiping a furtive tear upon the corner
of her black silk. "So that' the last of
poor Martin! Well, he haa seen sight
of trouble in his day. Malindy an Be
ll ndy haa acted as contrary aa two
female ever did, on 'Martin stod np
tinder 'em splendid. . 'Pears to ma thorn
girla take it mighty cool, when , jforf
think itYtheir only brother."
"Oh, maw," said Tenia, untying the
draggled bit of crape that drifted from
the doorknob, "I think Belindy felt aw
fnL : She ain't one to show it A for
Malindy, she's that cranky she wouldn't
feel bad at her own funeral. ".
- "Seems to me, "remarked her mother,
thoughtfully, "that Brother Rioe didn't
have no call to be so comfort in an con-,
golin. Them girls ain't nd spring chick
ens 1 they're 80 come next May sum
age as Bister Harriet Bell. When yon
think they ain't spoke to one another
thia 60 year, an that Martin has had to
live with 'em, bearin the blnnt of the
plaguy foolishness, it does seem as if it
was the preacher a business to make the
funeral edifyin to the mourners. I hope
Brother Bice wasn't thinkin that the
Ramsey farm is broad an fruitful.
hope he ain't 'fraid of no old maid
twins. ...... .
Why, I can remember, " went on
Mrs. Tinkler, reflectively, "when thxlt of tnv head an leava them track.
Ramsey girls was as pretty as there was
in the county, an body never see one
without t other. Bnt when Bob farker
was beauln Malindy an took np with
Belindy the fat was in the fire, I can
tell you. Boh married Sissy Pollock, an
has been dead this 90 year, bnt that

. "My sua. mawl" exclaimed Tenia,
seo how high tbe son is gettin. I bet
ter run an sat the table. I don't believe
they'll be many want to climb that hill
even for a meal of victual. Now, maw,
yoa settle sight down In that shady
corner an take catnap; yoa look beat
out. Everything la ready to pat over.
so there s no need of your helpin.
Tbe summer had trailed away Into
tho autumn. The high bills had glowed
with riotous beauty, only to fade into
the somber tints of winter, and now to
a waiting world was coming the breath
of approaching spring.
Tenio was looking for her mother.
She stood upon the porch of -the little
brown cottage, peering out under bet
hand.

bay horse hitched to a shabby boggy

cried as her mother drove into the
barnyard, "I've been Itmeaom as g

with yoa.
"I knowed yon d be worried about
me. Tenia." wboeaed Mrs. Tinkler,
clambering heavily to tbe cTouad.

AreadiU busy makin a rag carpet, an

v'Pshaw, mawl" exclaimed Tenie,
blushing rosy red. "Stop your foolin, an
go on witn your story.
"Well, the fact is, they are havin
high old times at the Ramsey s," said
Mrs. Tinkler impressively.
' "You don't say! They uln'ton speak-
la terms t" inquired Tenio, sewing
away briskly with her,lap full of carpet
rags.
'"Here, Tenie, hand me my tblmblo
an a mess of them rags. I can talk
twice aa fast with my needle goia Up
to the Ramseys, as far as speaJdn goes,
things are jest where they was, except
they've got that little Rosie Lethera
there to do their talkin through.; , But
soon as I got there I sea there was some
thin in the wind, an, as" I said, nothin
would do bnt I must take off my bon
net an stay to eat Pretty soon Malindy
oouldn t stand it no longer, an she out

guess it in this wide world I "
"My sua, maw, how could I guess,"
tittered Tenie excitedly. "Tain t an
other bean, is it?" ;
. : "Well, I swan!" exclaimed her moth
er admiringly. 1 "If yon didn't guess i

"Whoever?" ' -
"Jem make a guess. " , v'
" "I ain't the slightest idee!"
"Well," said Mrs. Tinkler, reluctant
ly parting with her news, "it's Dan'el
Carter!"
Dan'el Carter!" gTlsped TenierTot
the land sakest Bnt if it ain't tbe very
thing! Why, dear me, seems as if I had
knowed it a year!" ' ; :
There," cried her mother trium
phantly i "that's rzactly what I said!
Likely a match -as ever was. Stidy,' an
forehanded, can . go there, an run the
farm as good as Martin ever did an I
can tell yon things has gone at loose
ends since they have been runnin it on
the shearsbut no, Malindy won't have
it so, an she is raisin Cain generally. "
I can t see what business it is of
hers," cried Tenie indignantly. "8h
never speaks to poor Belindy. She's a
regular dog in the manger. " : v
'So I told her, but law, it didn't do
no good. Her heart is as hard as a cob
ble. Belindy broke down an cried, poor
thing, an said Malindy had said if she
married Dan el Carter they shouldn t
live' on . the farm an Belindy ownin
half of everything, mind yon an that
it wonld. break her heart' to leave the
old home, where aha wna born.
'Bnt, land sakee, when Belindy
cried, that made Malindy act like tun
ket Why, she said she waa disgraced
to have a sister with no more sense, an
that there wasn't no fools like old fools,
an that she'd burn the house over their
heads 'fore he should come there. I told
her she acted like she waa plum crazy.
Mind my words, Tenie, she'll break off
that match unless somethin drops, an
drops hard.
The spring had hurried on into the
summer, and upon uoshen hill, which
lay between the Tinkler ' and Ramsey
farms, the. blackberries were hanging
amid green leaves in rich, ripe clusters.
Here early and late Mrs. Tinkler toiled,
loving tbe outdoor life and coveting the
many dimes the luscious fruit would
bring for Tenia's wedding outfit
It waa a close August morning, and
Tenie, working over the Ironing table,
was thinking longingly of the leafy
coolness and the deep, clear spring upon
the hillside when suddenly she espied
her mother coming across the meadow.
'Why, what ever?" cried Tenia,
dropping her flatiron with a clatter, as
Mrs. Tinkler, with gown draggled and
sunbonnet awry, bnt with face alight
with excitement and news, appeared
around the corner of he house. "Where
are the berries?"
"Didon ever?", chuckled her moth
er, sinking down upon the step. "If 1
didn't have them berries clear knocked
eta staadin under the boshes! But
Tenie Tinkler, talk about yonr circuses!
There's things happenin on that hill a
beats any show I aver see. Oh, my
goodness gracious I
"Do stop yonr langhin," said Tenie,
untying her mother's bonnet and bring
ing her a glass of water. "Your face is
as red as a beet; I hope yon ain't got a
sunstroke. I can't make bead nor tail oi

"There's notnin tna matter of me.

BIRDS' EGGS.
lhe nseaaaa Why They Are wet All of
Oae Shape. -
Why is there not a fixed form for all
egg? We can see no reason in the anat
omy of the bird, but we may often find
reasons for tbe shape of any particular
egg in its later history, . ' '
It if noticeable, for instance, that the
more spherical eggs, as those of owls,
trogons and tbe like, are usually laid
in botes in the earth, rocks or trees.
Where they cannot fall oat of tbe nest,
and that tbe eggs of tbe ordinary sung
bird, wbiob makes a.well constructed
nest, are oval, while tbe slim, straight
sided, conoidal eggs, tapering sharply
to s point belong to birds that construct
little or no nest" to the shore birds,
terns, guillemots and tbe lika Why?
Because these last drop tbem in small
elntcbes and with little or no prepara
tion npon sand or rock, where, were
tbey spherical, tbey oould only with
difficulty be kept closer beneath tbe sit
ting bird, bat oonioal objects will tend
always to roll toward a center. An ad
ditional advantage la that eggs of the
latter shape will take np less space-
form a snogger package to be warmed.
In tbe eass of gullletnoU tbe single egg
laid is especially flat sided and tapering,
and the species owes its perpetuation
largely to this ajrenrnstanos, since,
were it sot for tbe egg's toplike tenden
cy to revolve about its own apex, lbs
aha noes are that it Would be poshed off
tbe ledge of naked sea ellff where the
areless or st orid bird leaves it
