A STORY FOR BOYS.
To Eddie, on a certain afternoon the
world seemed a place only to be disap¬
pointed in, and throwing down his
school-books on the back steps, lie sat
down beside them to moralize in a
gloomy way, and be miserable.
E ldie had a sister named Rosy, who
coming along that way as he sat there,
almost stumbled over him, before she
saw him. Her face wore a happy look
till she saw his; then her own .changed
expression, for Rosy could never be glad
or merry unless “buddie Eddie” was
too. Quickly seating herself beside hi m
she waited for him to speak. Delicate
little Rosyl She would not ask, if he
did not tell her why he was so sorrowful;
she would entertain him.
After a little pause she said gently,
<T came out here to watch for you, bud
die Eddie; tbe ice cream has come from
the confectioner’s, and it is to be just
the loveliest mold—two doves kissing
each other; and mamma says, as it is on-.
ly a family party, you and t and the lit
tie children shall all come to table with
the guests.”
Eddie gave her no answer, only held
his head in his hands and looked for
lorn.
“Didn’t you know,” she presently be
gan again, “this is cousin Maud’s birth
day, and she is to have a little party
here to-night? See, I am all ready, for
mamma said you and I had best get
ready early and go stay with grandma
till teatime, and then she will come
back with us ; she i* all alone because
aunt Susie and cousin Maud are hers
helping mamma, and uncle Fred will
come directly here from his office; so
you see we must go to bring grandma.
Go get ready. I’ll put your books away
and wait at the gate for you.
When the brother and sister were go
ing down the street towards grandma’s,
Eddie suddenly remarked, as if Rosy
iiad that moment ceased speaking: “Yes,
I knew all about the party before you
told me ; knew it this morning, and I
think birthdays ought to be jolly days
for everybody. I didn’t think mamma
could refuse me such a little thing. But
she did; she says I can’t have one of
Jamie Blake’s little dogs, and he has al
ready given it to me ; just the prettiest,
smartest little rascal I ever saw. I ran
home in a hurry to make him a house,
and ma’s, met and mamma she said running I positively down must to grand- j
not 1
bring a dog home. Now, sister, I thiuk
it down right hard. How can I see Ja
mie to-morrow, after taking his present,
an teIlyouI d have to (lon tell ’ t him I can’t ceDt have about it. the 11
carea
party, nor the ice cream nor anything,”
Rosy knew now, but what could she
say f 1 lie case was beyond her powers
of consoling. Ho she gave a long sigh,
that Eddie appreciated quita as much as
an y spoken word, and the two went on
iu silence Ull the hell had been rung at
grandma’s door, and they went into the
pallor where She sat alone.
Like the children she was all ready for
tlie oirthUay festival. Her hair, still
glossy f. ' aud black, Was crowned with a
tiny, dainty , cap, which , . , Rosy said , she ,
felt she must wear, just because so many
children called her grandma. Her dress
was her test black silk, and the softest!
aud whitest ruches circled neck and
wiists. The fingers that could never be
idle, were busy kuitting wtiite shells'
that were to be made into a quilt for Ro
sy, aud the little girl counted them each
time she went to grandma’s, impatient
for the sewing together to begin.
“Y’ou look so lonely, grandma,” she
said, as they went in. “We’re come to
stay with you till tea-time; are you not
glad. , ,
t’Yes. very glad; we shall have a
nice walk together. But I wasn’t lone

when you should have been studying?
vfant you to draw when you should
be otherwise occupied. But grandma is
sure too baye a decided talent for draw
ing, and you will make famous pictures,
I want to describe one that
you are to paint for me, when you get
to be an artist. It is one of the bright
pleasant scenes I like to recall. It bap
pened many years ago, but I can see it
as plainly as I did the night I saw it in
reality, I never get lonely. You see
I have so much that is nice to think
about, that I can’t be.”
<' r j5 s >t down here by Rosy and
me aim listen; grandma’s stories of
when she was young ar« apt to belong,
but till it I |’. try and make this one last only
i time to go.”
die Hei| the hard good for old few lady looked at Ed
vei y a seconds; but he
didn’tfsee her, for without speaking a
word after his doleful soundiug “good
eveniiyt,” he had gone to the window
and Stood peering into the street. Then
she looked at Rosy, who turned her wist
ful face from brother to grandma, em¬
phasizing each glance with a sigh, as if
to say. “Cheer him up, grandma, do;
else there will be no fun for either of us
to
Rosy’s face beamed with pleasure, as
Eddie, pleased with grandma’s remark
about his drawing, turned toward them
witb a real smile, as grandma began :
“Om of my friends, Mary Blake, had
a cousin Annie, a city girl, who came
to spend the summer with her inourcoun
try neighborhood. She and I grew to be
intimate friends tlie very first year she
came, and she would frequently spend
days at a time at our house. You
see we country folks didn’t visit as
city people do, we knew nothing
of such calling as your mamma
and cousin Maud do ; a day or a night
was ar short a time as we girls ever
stayed when we payed a visit. One Oc
tober day May and Annie and I set out
together about sunset for Mary's home,
the distance being fully two mile*, and
the '■«* was partly through enclosed
s and partly along a lonely conn
tl ' v ’ Wo knew we had tarried too
hfi|i 5 AT and
dale ivf a rapid gait; but we couldn’t
make much speed on account of Annie,
She was perfectly happy in the woods;
every step of ground had somo object
which was attractive to her, and never a
feeling of fear entered her happy heart.
First, she spied, shin ing even in the
dusky gloaming,a tree of late red plums,
and although out of our way, she must
have some. Next, in going through a
little marsh she wout into rapture over
the tall, waving swamp grass, with its
feathery heads of seed. A bouquet was
rapidly made for liar of the various
kinds; then we climbed a fence and were
in tho main road.
“I do hope, now you will see nothing
more to stop for,” said Mary, who was
constantly hurrying us along. But even
the bare clay bank of tho roadside was
festooned with bits of October’s loveli
n'ss, and Annie’s eyes spied in one place
a long spray of sarsaparilla berries;
bright scarlet they are, and grow in little
clusters on long vines. These she climb¬
ed the bank for, and twisted them all
around the large shade hat she wore.
“Now I’ll run with you,” she said, “to
make up for lost time.” But we soon
came to a hill so steep we could only
toil slowly up. At the summit, a little
way back from the road, stood the ono
dwelling that we passed. As we ap
proactied it a number of dogs ran out to
bark at us, and the moon showed her
full face in the trees, having risen above
a film of clouds, and shene out as on ly
the hunters’and harvest moons do.
“But the bright moon light only made
U8 f ee l how belated we were, and we
began to run in real earnest down the
the other side of the house. Half
way down the hill we were accosted by a
mil n coming up with a bucket on eacti
arm.
“ Anysprin( , hero about?” said he.

“What is tlie matter ?” said Aonie,
less used to country customs than we.
“Do you think tlie man is crazy; it seems
a crazy thing to me for a man to be look
ing for a spring this time of night.”
“It means there's a camp near us,”
said we both in reply, almost fearing to
goon.”
“A camp Annie answered. “Well,
come on; campers won’t bite us;” and
she resumed her run and we followed,
At the foot of the hill we hud to cross ;i
pretty stream, shallow and clear, with a
pebbly bottom; tbe tiny valley on its sides
was a spot very attractive to country
loving Annie, and she always wanted to
loiter there. “Now,” she said, as she
ran on ahead of us, “I shall beat you to
the log over the creek, for I’m not afraid
of campers, and I want to see how my
little valley looks in this lovely moon

“When we came to where a sight of
the tiny vale greeted us, this is the pic
ture we saw, and tlie one Eddie must j
paint some day.”
“A bright fire burned near the edge of
the stream, 'making tbe pale moonlight 1
so dim that the forest outside the small
circle lighted by the ruddy fire-light, be
came a dark frame to the bright picture, j
A wagon with a gleaming white cover
was just within the lighted space, and a
tall gum tree under which two horses
were feeding. Hear the fire stood a tall
sinewy woman, dressed In a brilliant col
ored print dress, her neck encircled with
an orunge-colored kerchief; her bead was
bare, and masses of coal-black hair were
coiled at the back; her face was a marked
one, by reason of the large, clear-cut fea- |
tures less than by its expression of surely
ill humor. In her hand aheheld a knife,
ready to turn tlie slices of bacon that
were frying and hissing in a skillet on (
tlie coals. But her face was turned
from the fire, to look upon what she evi
dently felt to be an intruder, iu the per
son of Annie, who stood close beside her,
warming her hands at the fire, while she j
glanced around; first, up into the cross :
face of the womuu, then at the wagon or
horses, evidently enjoying thoroughly
the novelty of the scene.”
“I often think of that dear friend of
those gone-by (lays, but never can I re
call her looking as pretty as on that Oc
toiler night, standing by the Atuazon-JIke
woman at the camp-fire. She wore a
dark brown merino dress, brightened by
a rod scarf, which, finding it too warm
after her run, she carried on one arm,,
her shade hat was pushed back, that she
might “see tho better,” and the spray of
red berries fell over one shoulder, peep
ing at a cluster of the plums she Imd
pinned into the brooch at her throat, and
she held in her hand the great bouquet of
grasses. That’s my picture, dou’t you
think it is a pretty one ?”
“Splendid 1” cried the children in cho
rus. “But do tell us how you got home
at last.”
“Well, Annie bid her woman a cordial
good night when she saw us coming, and
I though slio received a curt reply, she was
in a merry mood for the remainder* of
our walk, and seemed determalued to
j add one adventure to another, for after
i we had reached Mary's and had tea, she
was the cause of great excitement among
the children of tho family. I’ll put on
my bonnet now, however, and as we
walk along 1’* tell tlie rest.”
On tlie street, witli Eddie holding one
hand and Rosy tlie other, grandma re¬
sumed her story.
“We were sitting quietly around Che
fire, more quiet than was our wont, but
only waiting for the baby of the house¬
hold to go to sleep, when a cry of some
JitLle animal in distress was hoard.”
“As soon as the baby was safe in slum
bor-land, Annie, said. “What is that
crying?”
“Only a cat on the roof,” said Mary.
“Pray bo content, Annie, to stay in
doors the rest of the night.”
“You need not go,” returned Annie,
“but 1 must see what it is, for it makes
a most pitiful wail, and it grows weak¬
er.”
“So saying slui look a candle, aud we
all followed. Mary and 1 and two little
boys, Mary’s brothers. IFo soon found
the sound came from the ground, not
from the roof, and that it was among the
ivy vines growing in front of tho house.
I went to one corner of tlie house and
the others in different directions, but 1
was tlie discoverer of Waif, for|so Annie
at once named tho tiny dog that lay there
shivering and almost dead. The boys
eagerly but tenderly seized him, and car¬
ried him to the fire. “Sea mother” they
cried, “here’s a dog that just came to us;
you can’t lefuse to let us liave him al¬
though you said we should never own
anotiier dog.” “Yes,” replied their
mother. “We can’t turnoff this poor
tiling, but it is very young and very cold
I am afraid he will not live.” “My
Puss’ll take hi in and let him live with
her aud Kittie,” said the younger boy.
A proposition all of us laughed at, but
Annie, who said, “Bring Puss and her
box here by tbe fire, little cousin, and
W e’ll try her.” Gently Aunie laid Waif
beside the kit ten and exclaimed; “Bless
t, er motherly old heart,” as Jpuss began
to purr lier welcome, and show her aN
fection for tbe uew comer, so Waif grew
warm and comfortable close by old pus
sy’s warm side and he and kitten lived
their happy davs together. Waif was tlie
' source of unceasing pleasure to the boys.
and grew up to Vie a very sagacious
d 0 ®-”
When grandma , ceased, , -r, Rosy saw — Ed- ,
die’s face grow sober again, and Rosy
was wondering why she did refer to a
dog in her story; but then’thought she,
“grandmama does not know Eddie
wants one;” when the old lady began
again, “I’ve been thinking so much of
Waif, and how glad those boys were to
have him to-day that I thought I’d like
a little dog for you children to play with

“Oh! grandma,” exclaimed Eddie,
“you dear good grandma.you know tome

get you one, and we’ll name him Waif,

“You didn’t think your mother w*k
so sorry to disappoint you that I’m tak¬
ing the dog to please her too, did ftm.
But there are no little children, and no
fine carpets at my house, so you may
bring Jamie’s preset there.”
So graudma’s story ended, and Rosy
had no further trouble about Eddie’s ap
predation of the beautiful supper table
with the Ice cream doves. Long yean
after when Eddie's Waif was too old to
play, and Eddie hifnself was a tall
youth, almost a mau, there was an ex
hibition of pictures at an academy of
design. One picture attracted much
attention, and the painter they said wa*
very young. “Going to Texas; and In
truder in the camp,” it was called, but
as it lias been described once In tbe
course of our story, we will not repeat,
The crowd standing in front of it moved
on as some one said, “there comeB tbe
young man who did it; we must give
way that he may show it to his friends*”
A very oil lady was leaning on the
young man’s arm, and a bright, beauti
ful girl walked by her side. As they
stopped before the painting and the old
lady adjusted her glasses, the young girl
exclaimed:
“Why, brother, you did not tell us.”
“Hush Rosy,” he said, “let grandma
speak first, success or failure, the pic¬
ture is hers.”
“Annie at tlie camp fire,” said the
old lady, her face aglow with pride and
delight. “My boy, it is perfect. Deary
me! that I ever should have Men it oa
canvass! And you remembered all these
years! I told you that story only to
amuse you that day so long ago. I
didn't really think you would Borne day
paint it, but I always knew yeu would
beJau artist, and I knew that scene would
be well worth an artist’s peucil or
brush.” “Dou’t you see one object net
in the original grandma” said Roey.
“There Is our Waif close by Annie,
see?” “I thought I owed It to Welt”
said Eddie, “to put him In ; I wish he
could see it, and know all about how hie
name and fame was won.”
