1 AvM Sally’s i I
Conscience i
; By CLAUDE PAMARES
Cnpuri'iht. 1PCC. hy Homer Sprague
Never was there a better natural,
jrdore conscientious woman than Aunt
s Ay Warner, relict of Juab Warner,
-JJi'S • departed this life after a fall from
H&r roof of his barn. Aunt Sally had
i,.- children of her own, but did have
Saif a dozen nieces and nephews, and
•among the latter was the rollicking,
twlieking Joe Henderson, who was
ttrenty years old at the time the great
“'IT,Abe'S;
Ajom the roof of the barn, but to a
ssdamity that overtook Aunt Sally’s
*«ascienee.
*-)ne day nephew Joe, whose parents
Based five or six miles away, tin-fed at
MxdJl Sally’s on an errand. She was
•about to set out for the village of
JScwsonville to do some “trading,” and
'Sue volunteered to go along as driver
old Bobbin. Aunt Sally had not
Been over that road for a month, and
she was surprised to see circus pic¬
tures pasted up on every barn on the
acute. Since childhood she hail had a
toudness for circus pictures, but had
,5evn brought up to believe that eternal
juuisiimeut awaited every one who
passed the doors of the circus Itself.
During his lifetime Joab had discharg¬
ed various hired men for staying a day
eff to go to the circus, and he had re
fused to deal with certain men who
Bad accepted free tickets for the privl
fcge of posting pictures on their barns.
As the good aunt and her nephew
Jogged along the dusty highway and
•taraa to barn after barn decked out in
firyest colors of printer’s ink Joe heard
ler sighing. He didn’t stop to ask him
self whether she was sighing over tho
•tenth of Uncle Joab or the fact that
she couldn’t attend a circus promising
so much entertainment, hut he forth
~rith proceeded lo concoet a plan.
If a single person could conspire it
would have been called a conspiracy as
Tell as a plan. He made no comment
an tlie barebacked riders, on the wo tu¬
rn jumping through hoops, on the rhi
aweeros grazing along the banks of tho
African river and the hyena sneaking
about iu the Indian thicket. He just
sat still and chuckled, and when he
rensu’t chuckling he was talking about
going to Alaska to dig for gold.
When they reached town and found
flhings in u bustle he had to make
mine explanations. lie explained that
an exhibition was to be given that
afternoon for the benefit of widows
and orphans, but he didn’t say too
touch. While Aunt Sally was making
Aer purchases the merchant might have
referred to the “exhibition” uml called
sk by some other name If nephew Joe
hadn’t given him the wink.
When ten yards of calico, fifteen of
sheeting, throe towels, one table cloth
and thread, pins and needles had been
bought Aunt Hully suddenly remem¬
bered something and turned to Joe and
said.
"If there la anything going on for
the benefit of widows and orphans I
•nght to be Interested, being ns I am
a widow myself. Is It a spelling bee
or anything of that sort?”
"Oh. uo. They have got a tout and a
collection of wild animals. It s what
you might call a natural history exhibi¬
tion. Did you ever see a live liou or
tiger, Aunt Sally?”
“No. I never did."
"Ever see an elephant or a zebra or
giraffe?”
“No.”
"Well, yon can sec them now and
Fielp the widows and orphans the sane*
time. It’s .50 cents apiece, but I’ve
got the money for my ticket.”
“But I shall pay for both of us.” re¬
plied Aunt Sally as slit* handed over
a dollar. "When I set out to do any¬
thing for the lx- lk- fit of charity I’m not
«xio to scrimp at it. There won’t he
any gambling or horse racing, will
there?”
“Mercy, uo. The bills say there will
be nothing to offend the most fas
tidious. Como on.”
They had a quarter of a tulle to go to
rcarii the tent, and during the walk
Aunt Sally was puzzled that so many
people should have turned out in the
cause of charity. If she had had bar
o-- the 8 "ay 1 v'pa inVd v.-a - 'o'- s'to* a “ous-*
suspicion, but she passed into the tent
with the innocence of a child of five.
It was the menagerie, and Nephew
.Too guided her around and saw that
she missed nothing, it was a real treat
the woman, and she felt herself
growing a bit reckless under the wave
of enthusiasm. She ate peanuts and
drank leinoun do. and after taking a li¬
other look ■ t the 1 il agal tiger which
had killed 11 r. and was anxious
to finish o evt u more as soon as pos
si do she said:
"Joe, this is real nice, and I’m glad
%ve came. What are the folks going
into that other tent for?”
“Oh, that’s part of tho show, you
know. There are folks who don’t cure
to look at wild animals, and so they
have k? ridi lit. z and tumbling in thero

They went in and found seats, and

first appeared, and the hurdle jumping
and bareback riding brought “Ohs”’
and "Ahs!” from her until everybody
,";;s del -lit -d. She bought
the
boy came along, and when the perform-
anco was over at Inst she said to liei
nephew:
“Joe, I could go to such a show every
day i:i the week and not see enough,
1 don't know who got it up for the ben¬
efit of the widows and orphans, but
I’m telling you he was a mighty sensi¬
ble feller. If it had been a husking
bee he wouldn’t have taken in half the
money. If you hear of any more shows
like it this summer you by rr.e know,
and we’ll go.”
Something really new had come into
Aunt Sally's life, and she talked of it
all the way home. Joe let 5 er do most
of the talking. He was preparing for
the impending calamity.
It came within fifteen minutes of
their arrival home. Mrs. Bronson, a
neighbor, was at the house on an er
rand, and as soon as Aunt Sally began
t0 describe the show given for the ben
0rV, “°‘ ““
j “Do you know what you’ve done, Aunt
Sally Warner?” asked the caller iu
"lAmhad a good time.”
i “Yes, you’ve had a good time, and
j you are going to pay an awful price for
it. I wouldn’t be in your shoes for all
the money this side of Jericho.”
“But what do you mean? Isn’t it
1 everybody’s duty to help the widows
and orphans?
“Not If it’s going to send your soul to
I the bad place. Aunt Sally, you’ve been
| to a circus!”
“No, I haven’t! I wouldn’t go to a
circus for a thousand dollars, and you
know it.”
“You’ve Irnen to a circus—a regular
circus—with all its wickedness, and how
on earth you are ever going to get for
j glveness for it Is more’n I can say.”
I Nephew Joe was called In from the
j barn and the matter put to him, and
I he had to acknowledge that he had
| worked a plot.
“I never would have believed It of
I you—never!” walled Aunt Sally. To
; think that one of my own kith and kin
would take me to'n circus and make
me lose my chance of going to heaven!”
“But the animals Interested you.”
“Yes, they did.”
“And you liked the peanuts and lem¬
onade."
: Alas, but I did!”
: And you thought the clown was
funny and the riding good.”
“Heaven forgive me, but I did!”
“Well, I don’t see where the kick
comes In. I don’t believe you are any
■ wickeder than before.”
But Aunt Sally could not he com¬
forted. Her conscience was roused and
she could eat no supper. She thought
of the sacred bull of India and wept
hot team. She thought of the two hom¬
ed rhinoceros and the girl who Jumped
through hoops, and hid her face. She
had an accusing night of It and never
! shut her eyes, and early the next morn¬
ing she walked over to the house of the
village minister and told him nil. He
asked many questions In a kind way.
ami when lie hud got to the root of the
matter lie sakl:
“Well. Sister ’Varner, Ixdng ns your
nephew deceived you and being ns
there wore animals and peanuts and
lemonade, and being as there might not
be another circus along here for five
years, I think the Lord will let you off
this time, but It your hired man plays
dancing tunee on Ills fiddle you watch
your feet and don’t let them got to
shuffling!”
A b'mimomm n«el.
One day the famous duelist Pierrot
d’lsflnc went to see tils friend, the Mar
! quls Merle do Salnte-Mario. It ahoukl
be explained that In French plerrot
means sparrow and merle means black¬
bird. "Marquis,” said D’Isaac. "I am n
Bonat>art!st. and you are a royalist.
Moreover. I am the sparrow and you
are the blackbird. Doesn’t it strike you
that there is one bird or us too many?”
"It precisely doe*," said the martinis.
"My choice is pistols, and, as is appro¬
priate for birds of our species, let us
fight In the trees.” As If it were not a
| sufficiently ridiculous thing that one
! man should challenge another because
his name was Sparrow and the other’s
i Blackbird, the duel was actually fought
from the trees, the seconds standing
on the ground below. The pistols were
tired at the signal. There was a rus
tling among the leaves of one of the
chestnut trees. It was Pierrot d’Isaac,
who, wounded severely In one leg.
came tumbling to the ground, At this
point the marquis began to chirp tri¬
umphantly. imitating the song of a

D’Isaac waited for his wound to re¬
cover to challenge Sainte-Marie for the
chirp. This time the duel was fought
with swords, and Salute-Marie was
badly wounded. The sparrow had
avenged himself on the blackbird.
