In answer to her name, Miss Jane looked up quickly. By the roadside was a large, thickly grown poach orchard, whose boughs were K len with the most alluring fruit soft, pink, velvety. Some of the most luscious-looking peaches hung on branches, which extended OHt over the road, as if designed es pecially to tempt the wayfarer. Sud denly Miss I,ee caught sight of two very familiar-looking wayfarers perched in one of the topmost boughs, with juice running down their chins. "Wait a minute, Aunt Jane, and we'll bring you a treat, if you'll let us ride home with you!" the boys re peated, as they began to descend the tree with bulging pockets. "I'll wait for you, and you. may ride home with me; but I do not wish you to bring me a stolen treat, thank you," was the firm response. "This orchard and these peaches do not be long to you, do they?" "Aw, no'm; 'course they don't," Jerre Tood, her older nephew, argued, as he pressed a large ripe peach temptingly upon his aunt. "It's old man Tibbs' orchard, but he has more peaches than he can ever use; and he won't miss these. Our taking these few won't hurt him " "No, your taking those few, or even more wouldn't hurt him; and he'll never miss them." Miss Lee agreed, as she refused the offered fruit, and Irove on down the road, when her nephews had climbed into the vehicle. "But your taking them does hurt you; for taking what does not belong to you is just plain stealing; and whether or not the owner will miss what you take doesn't matter so much as the principle of the thing. You can't afford to steal, for it hurts you yourself, and belittles your charac ter." "Maybe you don't know just how sweet and fine and juicy these are, Aunt Jane," Jerry observed, slyly, as he bit into a particularly luscious peach. "But howr about Cousin's Rose and Billy and Kate; are they coming out to supper tomorrow night? You said you were going to invite them today while you were in town, you know," he quickly added, by way of changing the subject of conversation. "Yes, they're comin; and I got pineapple at the market this morn ing; and we'll have your favorite dessert, pineapple sherbet," Aunt Jane announced, smilingly. ''Fine!" exclaimed two voices at once from the rear seat. "And Kate'll sing for us, and Billy'll tell us some dandy new stories." "Oak Lawn," Grandpa Lee's big, old-fashioned house where the Todd boys were making a very happy vaca tion visit, was the scene next day of busy preparations for the guests, who were to arrive that evening. The guest chambers were aired and fresh ened up, vases of roses from the gar den were placed on the tables, and Aunt uinan was preparing sucn a menu as had made "Oak Lawn's"" hos pitality famous throughout the coun ty. But the train out from town was not on time, and supper was to be a whole hour later than usual, so the boys got almost unbearably hungry, as they lounged in the hammock. waiting for the arrival of the guests "It'll be a half hour before, they get here yet," Jerre observed discon solately, as lie examined his newly acquired property, a small watch "Come on; let's go down to the spring house and get some fresh water " "All right," Bob, the youngest brother, agreed; and the-boys ran down the green, sloping lawn to the old stone spring house. There .was always plenty of fresh water in the big wooden bucket on the shelf on the ell gallery; and this was the first visit the boys had paid to the old spring house since their arrival at "Oak melon lay open; so the younger se added, letting her eyes sweep to brother stepped quickly inside the tne distant, low-ranging mountains spring-house. purple in the morning glow.
