Numerous sluries had been told of how persons had been almost frightened out of their wits by the roar- winds that shook the buildine lo to their foundations. Like all ;ood story tellers, who invaria bly wait uutil every one else in the crowd' has dtained himself of yarns, authcutic and otherwise, the old traveler waited in patience until "it was up to hiiu." He moved a cigar from his lips, flipped the ashes with his lilllc finger, placed the heels of his shoes upon the table, and tipped his chair back to ao angle ol forty five degress. Finally the old man was settled to his satisfaction, and, giving a chuckle, said: Your stories remind me of a little incident that I happened to witness a few years ago in one of the iuland coun ties in Indiana. It was one winter oven- in a liltle town iu the backwoods, bout forty miles from a railroad. The people living in the vicinity were, for the most part, uneducated, aud, of course, did not understand the phenomena of the elemeuts. Shortly ufter sundown, of the ay oil whieh I am speaking, a brilliant gbt appeared in the northeast. At first was not very noticeable, but in a few minutes the rays of light shot up in long lines until the entire heavens in thai direeliou seemed ablaze. The inhabitants were thunderstruck and many thought that the day of judgment was at hand "I had become interested in the study of reflected lights, and afiei lookiug at the magnificent di-play I concluded at once that il was the aurora borcalis. I ad explained the theory to a lame number of penplo who had galhertd around me and had about allayed their fears when a long, lean, lantern jawed hoosier rushed up und veiled in an exeittd uiannir: What in thuuder is that?' I turned lo htm, and iu my most suave nianner ret'lii o: 'mat, sir, l.s I i.e aurora boreali.' '"ltoauey borey ihuiidei!' the stranger yclcil, as he si'il ineup with c inteuipt Hell ain't four miles trom here right now, pardni-r, and I am going to cleat out ol tins part ol the country. ''Ilis explanation outweighed mint1 1 iu less lime thin it takes to tell al of the inhabitants of the village were tak to the hills.

The red old lit'lit ol the setting un si reamed overtl-. Tall hollyhocks nodded tons from the hih side fence. Sweet, old fushioued pinks wafted their fragrance to us. There were cabbage roses besides the steps, aud over on the western slope a mass of tangled shrubbery. Overall was the red old glimmer, lin:inn the lace of nature und making it "Jow with beauty. "Now there was Farmer John lie I was u farmer worth tho name." "Is he dead?" "Dead!" naid she, "why no, such a man as Farmer John couldn't die. 'lie slciis iu Je-us.' That's what it nays on his tombstone, and that's what Farmer John is duin' sleeping in Jesus; He sleeps -that is well, he needs the rest, but one day he'll awakeu and then-" "And then?" "Well well I hardly know how to put it, but that day you know, when lie makes up His jewels, why Farunr John 'II be there. I'm sure of il; 1 wish I was us sure of my bein' there." She sighed, thinking of herself, then she smiled, thinking of Farmer John. llVou see it wasn't 'cause he was any richer than the other farmers 'round hure; he wasn't, but it Was because he could see better, that he managed to lift so many burdens for folks that weren't able to bear Vtn." "See?" "Why, I don't mean just seein' with the eyes. You miht know there's niber ways of seeiu' 'cordin' to my thinkin', Mcbbe ils seein' with the soul. I dunno anyway ils seein'.

Now I don't mean that A I miry was up pMi, 'cause she never way. The pride s'te had wn the kind thai keeps 'u!k' athirs to th irlu's. Almiry kept her poverty lo herself. Most folks knew or thought they knew that she was as well off as sheM ever heeti an' she let I hem think so, but Fanner John knew heller She'd hail some mom-y in the hank, but it had dwindled away, ami Almiry u-id to lie awake nights, wondirin' hit W uM become rl" her. Mcbbe JelWi thinkin' (hat Almiry was doleful loukih'. but 'twant so. She was us cheerful atnl chipper apparently as anyone. Hut there was one person who read between the lines, as it were, lie saw the lines decpenum around the thin lip4, and he knew what it m -ant. This was Farmer John. Almiry had a little gar Jen. She had sowed and planted and eared for it herself, nolwitlittamling her weakness aud lameness and the burden of her sixty live years. She raised hubs, too, peppermint, catnip, tansy ami ihor oughworl. (hie day toward eveniu', Almiry put Up her kniltiu' an' fell uputi her knees. She didn't pray her u-ua! prayer, she couldn't, hut she wailed forlh: 'I don't know what I'm goin' to do, Oh, Lord; I don't know." "The sun peered into ihe western win dow to say goodnight, touching ihe thin, white hair uf the bowed Almiry tender ly; then it vanished and the shadows deepeued around lur. She was still on her kuecs, bin her prayer wis now voice less. The light died out. The darkness wrapped her iu a winding ch ak. She trie i iu her grateful way ti thank the Lrd for her little home, her dear uhl home with its previous ujeiiMrics, and the'thinjs,' hut she was faint from hun ger. Sheeoullu't eat the house, you know, ni the 'things,' und she had no work or money. The vegetables were all go oo long ago. As for moat she had uiit forgotten the taste ol if. "A.-ain ca nc llie word", "I don't kimw what I iu goiu' ler d", Oh, I, ml, I d m I know,' uu' there fell a perfect tnrm ot wue.iiu'.

There stood Fanner John with hi sunshiny lace and cheery greeting He sho k hands in his warm hearled way, but he dcclim-J Alinity's invitation to 'come in. " 'I cid'i,' he said, 'the Inrs-M are out here, an' it's g 'tting late. 1 just slopped to leave this basket. We've been kiliin' up looir none an i ve brought you a tate. AuJ no Almiry juld you give rue a little catnip? Our folks didn't gather any aod there's that baby.' "Ha was pretending you see lhat he wanted tint eituip as a favor. And then when he canie I that big basket in, he iu tnag (l to get a lo k into Ahniiv's fa.'fl That was eu MU'h lie knew the Lird hid let him t'lere tlmt night, i After he'd gone Almiry linked iuto the basket, then she set down and cried, hut this time 'twas for j y. What was in the ba-ket, you say? Why, there was sisago, an' tenderloin, an' spare rib, an' a ham. A n't he very next day there come it bag of flour from Farmer John's mill at the 'Coiners.' ll,t want you to try it, Almiry,' was Farmer John's excti-e fur serdin' it. 'I want to get your opinion.' An' so it wen'. soinfiiui's it w.h chickens, s,nn,.. tiui' s cl:i" or potatoes or apples, an' tr always u, nth soiiieibiu' iu payment, peppermint or thorotighwort or some car away seeds, a pretendm, you know, so's not to hurt her feelings. "Hut my, Almiry wa-n't the only one Fanner John helped in his lovim.',' hearty way, ju-t goin' round ijuietly, not lettin' hi" left hand know what his right hand was doiu'. Now when poor Hetty Snow's baby died, an' there wasn't a cent to buy a cnflin fer the dead or bread JV-r the liviu', Farmer John knew he was wanted, an' there he was. Atnl then that night when 'lruuken Joe' died, there was poor little Sue, white and scared and miserable uulil Farmer Jehn cotnc along. Ho lifted her up and car ried her off to his homo, where she slill is. Then Iher's Hurt Havens, hi- father was in piisuti.aii' because of that people gave the cold shoulder to the poor boy. " 'Tisii't right,' said Farmer John. 'What's the u.-e of blamm' ihe poor boy for what he can't help?' an' then he took him in, an' if I do say it, (here ain't a belter buy than Hurt Havens, It's all because of Fanner John,'' "When did you say he din.'.' ' Thc'old lady smiled. "He i-ti't duid, you know, I lull you, he's asleep in Jesus.
