“LITTLE JOE.’’
(By Helen Forrest Graves.)
The first sharp Irost of the year
had left its scarlet impress on the
wooded mountain side; the row of
Madeira vines that had screened
the kitchen window drooped black
and ragged from its strings in the
vivid morning sunshine.
Mary Eddall sighed softly as she
opened the kitchen door and
looked out into the blue air.
“I shan’t see many more sun
rises on these hills,” said she to
herself. “Well, I suppose it’s all
for the best. Everything is for
the best, the minister says. But
I guess if the minister was just
where I am, he'd look at things
different.”
“Polly!”
A trim, neatly-clad figure had
come out of the kitchen bedroom,
leaning on crutches. Her soft
white hair was tucked away under
the frill of her cap; a gingham
apron was tied around her waist,
and it was not until you were close
to her that you discovered how 1
very old she whs —nearly ninety—
and wrinkled like a piece of China
crape, with piercing hazel eyes,
anil teeth that were nearly perfect
still.
“It's a nice morning, Polly,
ain’t it?’ she asked, wistfully. “A
pleasant morning for me to go to
Susan Willis’?”
Polly set down the stone cream
pot on the buttery shelf with sud
den emphasis.
“Mrs. Cameron,” she said, with
a sudden catch in her throat, “it
isn’t right. I —l can’t deceive you
any longer!”
Mrs. Cameron opened her mild
eyes.
“Eh?” said she. “I don’t un
derstand you, Polly. What is it?”
“I’ve got all your things packed
in the little hair trunk up stairs,”
s H Polly. “You ain’t coming
back here any more.”
“ I—ain’t —coming—back—here
—any —more?” slowly repeated the
oid woman. “Why, Polly, I was
born in this house, I was married
in this house. Joseph was born
in tiiis house, and little Joe, that I
loved the best of all the flock!”
“Yes, I know,,” said Polly.
“Don’t cry, Mrs. Cameron. I’ll
stay by you. I won’t leave you,
happen what may. But we can’t
sta\ r here any longer.”
“-Why can’t we, ‘PoUyf"' help
lessly questioned the old woman.
“The old farm is playvl out,”
said Polly. “All these years folks
have been t .king money out of it
and never putting a cent in. We
can’t go on doing that any more.
Look at the bswn, settling down
on its foundations. Look at the
well-house, falling into ruin- The
best-room chimney fell last week,
and the porch roof leaks so that no
one can walk there in a rain ”
“But, Polly, Polly, only think!
I can’t go away from here!” wailed
the old woman.
“You can’ stay here, Mrs. Cam
eron.”
“Polly’, what are you going to
do?”
“Fve been thinking it all over,
Mrs. Cameron,” said Polly, reso
lutely. “I can’t get any weaving
to do, or any school to teach, ana
nobody wants hired help. But
Mrs. Willis says there’s plenty of
room in her big house if I’m a
mind to take some of the Pellsdale
factory girls to board, and share
the money with her. And that’ll
make a home for you.’
“But, Polly, it’ll be awful hard
work.”
Polly shrugged her shoulders.
“Yes,” she said, “it will. But
I’ve got to work hard.”
Once more the poor woman
burst into tears,
“Oh, Polly,” said she, “if only
little Joe—”
“And the old curiosity shop man
is coming to-day to look at the fur
niture,” persisted Polly. “Come,
Mrs. Cameron, breakfast is ready.
George Willis and the old red
wagon will be here for you in half
an iaour.”
Mi*3. Cameron ate and drank like
one in a dream. Once or twice
she surreptitiously pinched her
self to make sure that she was act
ually’ awake. Had things come
to dais?
An hour or two later Polly’stood
on the steps watching the big red
wagon rumble away with eld Mrs.-
Cameron on the buffalo-robed seat
t>eside the driver, and the little
hair trunk in the back.
"Poor thing!” murmured Polly.’
“If it wasn't for her I could mad
age ’most any way. But she took
me in when I was town-poor, and
gave me a good home and brought
me up as if I were her own, and I
won’t leave her now—no, not if
we both starve together!”
“is tnis the Cameron farm?”
Polly started violently.
“Yes,” she said, recovering her
mit’ in an instant. “But I don’t
Know whoy’ou are.”
She was looking at a tall, grace
ful woman hi deep black, who had
evidently dignted from a carriage
.. the toot of the maple-shaded
lane.
“That is not strange,” said the
newcomer with a smile. “But I
think I recognize you, Mary Ed
dall, even though I never have
seen you before. Hush! I am
Joseph’s wife!”
“Little Joe’s wife?” gasped
Polly. “But where is he? Why
has he never—”
Once more the stranger lifted
her slim forefinger with a gesture
of warning. Polly recoiled.
“Is he dead?” she
“You said his wife not his
widow!”
The lady sat down in one of the
old claw-footed chairs, holding her
hand over her heart.
“I am his wife,” said she. “I
have been his widow for fifteen
long years. Next month he comes
out.”
“Out? From where?” whispered
Polly.”
“From State’s prison!”
“What!” gasped Polly, remem
bering the roseate castles in the
air that poor old Mrs. Cameron
had built around the recollections
of “Little Joe,” the only surviving
descendant of the family tree.
“Oh, it must have been a fraud—
a mistake!”
“No,” firmly spoke the woman.
“It was hard —cruelly hard, I grant
vou; but it was only justice. He
had been speculating—he forged
his employer’s name, hoping to re
place the money before the deed
should be discovered. But he was
detected, and for fifteen years he
has been expiating the crime.”
“And you?” gasped Polly.
“For me,” calmly went on the
pale woman, “I should have gone
mad if I had not set a purpose be
fore me—aye, and lived up to it,
too. I have given myself no time
to think. I had always a knack
with my fingers, so I turned art
ist, and my pictures became the
rage. I hoarded the money like a
miser, and invested it where it
would grow like Jonah’s gourd.
People called me the ‘Woman in
Black.’ They never dreamed that
the fashionable artist in her luxuri
ous studio was one and the same with
the veiled speculator who haunted
Wall Street in business hours.
Well, the task is over at last. I
heve paid back every cent of the
fatal sum that threw my husband
into prison, and I have enough left
to settle all the debts on this place
—the heritage that Joseph has al
ways sighed for and dreamed or—
and to make it habitable once
more. When he comes back to
the world whence he has been so
long exiled this will be his home.
Here it is that our new life is to
begin. He does not know of it.
I dared not tell him until my plans
should be complete.”
Polly clasped her hands.
“You are a heroine,” said she.
“I can’t tell you how much I
honor you. Oh, Joe—poor Joe!—
and he’‘and I played together as
children!”
: “There was an old lady,” ques
tioned the newcomer, timidly.
“Joe often spoke of her. His
grandmother. If she should be
dead—”
“She is not dead!” cried Polly.
“Oh, I am so thankful for that! *
said tjie pale stranger. “She will
be the link between past and future
in my husband’s life. For the
present, that has no part in the
programme. It was always Joe’s
dream to come back here when we
should be rich, and make our
home where the old grandmother
was. And while he was dead to
the world, I carried it out.”
Polly started up the fire, which
was to have died away forever on
the old hearthstone. She drew
back the closed paper shades, to
let in the yellow, October sun
shine; she made a cup of tea, and
unpacked the thin old silver spoons
from her bag.
Polly sent away the brisk, busi
ness-faced agent of the city curios
ity shop, and sent for Mrs. Cam
eron.
“Little Joe! he’s coming home
again!” crooned the old woman,
peacefully rocking back and forth
before the roaring log fire. “And.
Joe’s wife is here, and the old
place is all fitted up, even down to
the new carpets on the floor and
curtains to the windows. I
knew that little Joe hadn’t forgot
ten his grandma!”
“He’s here now!” she said.
“Joe —little Joe!”
In the bowed and prematurely
white-haired man who stood before
her she saw only the curly-haired
lad who had left her thirty yea
aga, waving his hat from the top
jl tue stage.
Was s >e not ninety years oIT
chat very day?
“i’ve coma b to you, gran
ny,” he said, famtlv smiling, as
he drooped his head to lay it on
her shoulder.
And for those two the past and
future were alike blotted out.
There remained only the present.
Joe’s faithful wife stood by, her
eyes welling over with tears.
“I—l never dreamed it would
be like this,” said she, closely
grasping Polly’s hand. “That the
pages of his mind would be a
blank as to all those dreadful
vears. But perhaps it is better
so.”
“Yes,” said Polly, in a choked
voice, “it is better so!"—“Satur
day Night.”
