' Gopyright, 1906, by Homer Sprague.J . "
My ! uncle, Joseph Fuller, always
kept his money In his house on his
farm. A .farmer living near had an
idiot somFronTthe time he was five
yea.rsfvbld he had been a visitor at
Uncle, Joe's. He sometimes remained
there overnight The lad and I always
got along. together very well, and after
I 'had known him for three or four
years I discovered, that curiosity was
his leading trait. -77 V 7 :
7 He wasn't curious as other boys are,
but after arriving at the age of ten
be took to running around the country.
7 On a certain night: when I was at
Uncle Joe's and when. I, was fourteen
years old- uncle and Aunt Mary count
ed: over $1,000 in bills they had in the
house. This counting was done Jn their
"bedroom after I was 1q bed, - and the
package was then hidden tinder the
carpet A noise was heard ai the win
dow, and Uncle Joe went, out to see if
any : one . was spooking : iHUnd,;biit
made no discovery. : Next day he went
away to buy - some cattle, and during
the forenoon things went on. as usual.
Just before noon the ; fool came , over;
and when the meal was ready, he took
his seat at the tabie with the rest
There were two hired men, and after
dinner had been disposed, of they went
back to their work-in a. distant field.. 1
I had been sent to roll some . old cider
and vinegar barrels put of the cellar
and rinse them as welL I made signs
to the boy to help me, but he shook his
head and sat down on the doorstep and
kept tip such a grinning and chuckling
that "Aunt Mary noticed it after awhile
andrwondered what tie had. been, up to.
rJUt about half -past . 1 o'clock a well "
dressed business Jooking.man drove up
;tOr.the gate in a : bueey.: hitched his
0rse and came in. -. He asked - meat
the well if Mr. Fuller was . home, and
when I answered in . the negative he
seemed considerably but . out I fol
lowed him to the kiichen door, where
he introduced himself to my aunt and
explained that he had cattle to sell.
After a little talk he began to tell tis
that he had seen a man hurt on the
highway, and gradually we all came
to crowd into the kitchen, pf a sud
den the man pulled a revolver and said;
"Sit down, the three of you, and
one of you utters a single yell I wiH
shoot you dead!"
I. thought the fellow was joking and
was slow about sitting down. Aunt
Mary was also slow in catching on,
and as she finally took a chair she was.
pale as death. The fool laughed and
sucked at his finger and seemed to con
sider the thing a good joke.
"Now, then, understand me, con-
tlnued the man when we were seated
before7him. "There is money in this
house. I want it. I'm going to get It
If I have to kill the three of you. What
are you grinning at?"
This last remark was addressed to
the fool and I explained that he was a
victim of . misfortune. I was . aston
ished, but not frightened. I had heard
of robbers, but this man didn't, come
up to my. notion of one at alt Neither
was I. aware of the large sum of money5
in the house. The man hauled off to
cuff the fool, but thinking better of it
he looked at Aunt Mary and said: ' v
"Get me that money. Get every dol
lar there is in the house. If you keep!
any back I'll burn? the roof . oyer your
head." . , ,
"'Please sir," she began, and I knew
in a second that' she wanted to deny
that there was any money , in the house.
She couldn't tell aPlle; however. She
Was too -good a Christian for that She
did hold r out however, until the man
cocked the weapon in her face, and J
then she crept into the bedroom to dig
the roll out from under the carpet - A
sudden ejaculation came from her, and
she appeared, at the door to cry out:
"It's gone Some one has robbed us
of every dollar!"
"Don't lie to me, woman!" exclaimed
the man.
"But I'm not lying. Last night w
had $1,000, and hid itj under the corner
of ; the carpet there, j. Some one .has
- taken It since then." v S 7- ?
. The man . had -to believe her. Her
distress and sincerity were too evident.
He fell to swearing and for five
minutes the air was blue with his pro
fanity. ' During this time the fool had
bis, hands oyer r his mouth to prevent
himself xrom - laughing aloud, and was
wondering If Aunt Mary wouldn't
faint away. She said It was barely'
possible that ; Uncle Joe might have
taken it away with him, ; thinking at
the, last moment; that he miit . have
heed of It and it was probablthis
that prevented the man from question
ing us two boys. - He was terribly put
out-but after making a search of the
bedroom' and kicking things around
he took his departure and drove off at
a furious pace.
When it was, sJ oyer Aunt Mary
flopped down lnia .faint; As :i rant for
;water the fool ranrtoward the-orchard,
;I; had just revived, xayvauuwho Svas
crying, when the boy came in with ttxe
biggest kind of a grin on his face and
the $1,000 in his hand, and we had an
other circus for five "minutes. - 7 -
The fool had been looking through the
.window! the: night before, ail the inqney
jwas being counted. He had seen where
it was hidden, and next forenoon had
crawled into . the; rodm : and .stolen it
, and hid : it in a hollow stump in: the or
chard. But for, the coming, of tiie rob
ber ne might never', have given It up
He seemed to understand', what the
man had come fk, and, he enjoyed hlsi
discomfiture, and.v, perhaps reasoned
that i be couldnt ving Aunt Mary out
of her faint quicker than to give her a
sight of the roll. At any rate he saved
the family $1,000, and they could never
do too much afterward to show their
gratitude. M. QUAD.
