[Capj-right, 1*00, 1>J C. B. Lewi*.] When Mr. Gallup sat down for th* evening, he hud his newspaper on hi* knee and Mrs. Gallup was singing “Rock of Ages” and'Clearing away the supper table. He had Lwen reading for a quarter of an hour when she quietly entered and sat down and gaid: “Samuel, I don't want to disturb y*u nor make you feel bad, but I feel oblig¬ ed to ask you a few questions. Last night at midnight Mrs. Watkins saw * light moving around in our back yard. It was a light which bobbed up and bobbed'down and dodged this way and that, and when it finally went out It gave a great wink and a splutter. It was what they call a ghost lantern, Samuel, and It rneunt that there would be death In this house within a week. It’ll be my death, of course. I’ve got 27 different ailments, with heart dis¬ ease throwed In, while you are as healthy »3 a cornfield. Yes; it’ll be me, but I’m not weepiu over it. I’m sittin right here as calm as catnip, but I want to know some few things.” Mr. Gallup must have known of her presence, but he was too deeply inter¬ ested in hie paper to recognize it. He bad found an article which said that a bedbug could be boiled lu water for tour hour* and then eouac cut with feta *tot'itk«* undaunted. **I shall go to heaven when I die, of course,’* continued Mrs. Gallup as her voice broke a little. “I orter go there. Any woman who has whitewashed the cellar every spring for 27 years, be¬ sides makin soft soap, cuttin carpet l * gs ’ dyoin over old clothes and makin one corset last her for 13 years, will go to heaven on the jump. ‘What bother# Uj. I rW^J UA C4 / js w : Jpk i 1 <v mm JLJ “I’M sittin right hkiie as calm AS CATNIP.” mo, however, Is how I’m goln to act arter I git there. You know how cpm pan.v alius fiustrates uip. ii three or four of the neighbors come la, I’m al¬ most sun to fail off my cheer or knock over fci.nlhiii. How’s it goin to be when I git up augelqV there and There’ll meetWfuijl iip milifons pasture of full of ’em, Samuel, and they’ll all be lookip at me and wonderip who 1 am, and I’ll be eo upsot that I’ll fall over my own feet” She paused to wipe the tears from her eyes with the palm of her hand, but as she had asked nq direct ques¬ tions .Sir. Gallup finished the bug arti¬ cle and turned to one ou the care of clothesliues. i • “I don’t want tq b/ /looki d at and p’inted out and made fun of up there,” said Mrs. Gallup as she'sat with her. eyes on the carpet, “All night long last night I couldn’t Sleep for thinkin that some of the angels would turn up thedr noses at me and want to liiiow what on airth" I was fioln there. You remember garah' Jane Mix by, .who died two. years ago? Sarah was snippy and sassy. If she went to heaven, it would be Jest her way to want to know why I’d come fly'iu up there, with my rbeumatiz and back ac-hes. I’d have to sass her back, ahd then what would happen? Angels do sass each other sometimes, don’t they,’ Samuel?”’ |f Mr. Gallup had ever given the mat¬ ter a thought, he was too busy to dis¬ cuss it. The statement was right be fore his eyes that 1,000,000 miles of clothesline went to destruction every year for want of being bung up in the ; wood shed when not in use, and he was reflecting on the carelessness of hu manlty in general. “I may git up to heaven In the night, when all the aagels are asleep, and afe I’U *lip to all right 1 hop* that'll h* ft* way, beoawe it'll *!▼« me a cl»a»oe t» kind o’ git H8«d to the plac* befior* dnyllght. Do you think they have any breakfast up there? Mrs. Watkins says they don’t, but 1 don’t really see how they git along without U. I know l should feel a goneness all day without breakfast And I want you to look at me, Samuel, and see if I’m the bum blyeat woman ever born. 1 have read that when we die we are changed as in the twinklln of an eye. 1 hope It’s so. If it ain't then I can’t expect no good times up there. Them angels will be p’lntln out my lop shoulder, my big feet and my wabbly knees and whls perin to each other that I’d better staid down on airth among the cabbages. as knows me can call me obsti mte or sot but I’ll be snummed If I propose to die and become an angel to be made tun of. You’ll be on my side about that, won’t you?}’ Mr. Gallup heaved a long sigh and seemed about to speak, but no word ] came. He had finished with the clothes line and struck an article about the reasoning powers of the crow, and the mo*t direct question from Mrs. Gallop would have passed unheeded. Her tears fell for two or three minutes, and thee she asked: : "And how about the beds up there? You know w *’ v * dept ° n «• f**tfe*» ever »iuce we was married, aid alius bln particular to smooth it ■’from head to foot. I’ve got used to feathers, and if I changed oft I’d jest lay there and kick around all night long. Do thay hev bed?. Samuel, or d« they keep on fly In around all night long and alngfn “I’ve Reached My Horn* at Last?” Seems to tne that flyin and slngln all day would lie enough ualesa I feel stronger thru I do now. Yon ©rter know these things, Samuel, and yon orter tell inbWl’U know what to depend on. I might stand sass from a thousand angels, but I do want my own bed when night comes, arid if one of my headache? comes on unexpected¬ ly I want to know that I kin hev, a cup of tea. Mrs. .Watkins says they don't drink tea in heaven, but 1 don’t aee how she kin know.” Mr. Gallup was not directly appealed to, and as he was reading that a crow had been known to feign death to avoid having a crowbar thrown at him he made no sign. “Waal, I’ve made up my mind to a few things,” said Mrs. Gallup as the si¬ lence grew painful. “I’m goto up to heaven to do the best I kin. I’ll be nayburly with all the angels I meet and let 'em understand that l don’t want no more’n my share of harps and wings and things. If I don’t find any¬ thin to eat or any beds to sleep on, I raise no fuss nor go Into hyster¬ the way Mrs. Taylor did at camp tin last year. Yes; I’ll put up with things as I find ’em and make the best it, and I won’t be jealous If a few of hev better clothes on or kin sing better’u me. That’s how I’ll act, (Sam¬ and then if they pick on they'd git ** good an they give. I kin be anti picked ou jest sc fur, but arter that they want to look out It put you ont.uny, Samuel, if i at night Instead of in the daytime? 1 said, if I died at night I could slip heaven without any fuaa, but if goln to make yon any extra trouble perish by daylight What will be most convenient hour fur you?’ There was deep silence. Mrs. Gal¬ tears mede no thud as they fell the carpet, and Mr. Gailup was with bated breath that au os¬ covers 13 feet of ground at every when In full flight. The clock the silence grew deeper, and cricket oi the hearth fell into a Then Mr. Gallup suddenly told his paper, stretched his arms ani¬ rs,' v?ith a “Ho-hum!” and looked to find Mrs. Gailup asleep in chair.
