Carmi “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.” More births occur in February than in any other month.' July is the month of fewest births.
