"Uncle John always did have luck
with him" said the man with the
big black cigar. "Don't tell me that
man can prophesy disaster and al-
ways get away with It unless there
is some supernatural agency cf evil
helping him!
"I've always been fond of Uncle John
and bis aversion to automobiles has
pained me deeply since I own three
and with the purchase of each one
his bewildered wrath at me has in-
creased. Each time a machine was
added to my garage the mails have siz-
zled with the letters from Uncle John
remonstrating with me. His Idea of
an automobile is that It Is a diaboli-
cal contrivance straight from the re-
gions below and that those who risk
their lives In one should be restrained
In an asylum for the feeble minded.
"The last time I went east on busi-
ness I hired a touring car and a driver
In order that I might cover ground
quickly and as Uncle John lived In
the city I was visiting I naturally
went to see him. The first time I
called he nearly wept over me be-
cause be bad witnessed my arrival in
the big red car. He had visiting hlra
his brother from Maine whose ideas
of automobiles were even more prim-
itive than Uncle John's but Uncle
Henry had some excuse for he lived
in a region where there aren't any
automobiles.
Each of them called upon the oth-
er to witness that I was a reckless
young thing and probably would meet
my doom before I left the city.
"I resolved to put an end forever to
such foolishness and to show Uncle
John that automobiles were harmless
things that would eat out of one's
band if properly approached. So the
next day I came again In my big red
car and with an expression of firn
ness and resolve.
"Uncle John" I said without any
preliminaries. "I have come to take
you and Uncle Henry out for a ride
In my machine! Get on your things!"
"After they had fainted and been
revived we thrashed the matter out.
They had been strong men in their

youth but they were no match for
me so I won out. I really felt sorry
for Uncle Henry as he went trembling
out to the machine.
" 'Remember George' be said 'that
my will and other valuable papers
are down In the trust vaults. I have
the feeling that something dreadful
is going to come out of this but It
is all due to your persistence.
"Well I started out with thoBe two
timorous old men honestly resolved
to give them the time of their lives
and banish their absurd tears. I
know all about cars and my driver
was an extra good one so I guess
what happened was my fault.
"I told him to turn a corner an In-
stant later than I should have told
him. The steering gear locked I
think or else It was Just that little
imp of bad luck. My lovely red car
choked gurgled and then shot straight
at the curb which it skimmed over as
lightly as a bird. Then it absent mind-
edly hit the coping between the side
walk and me lawn and as it was
only an Imitation stone coping. It
merely brushed It aside without break'

"Continuing our progress we goug-
ed across a fine lawn and aim
ed at a cnoice tree that appar
ently had been recently set out be
cause its throat was still tied up In
burlap. We snapped that three in
two as though It were a straw with
the top part dangling coquettishly
above Uncle John and Uncle Henry
and the radiator of the machine perch-
ed rakisbly on the mangled stump we
came to a pause.
"About a million people surronded
as at once. I didn't even look at Un-
cle John and Uncle Henry. I juBt
faded out of that car. They were on
the street car traveling back home be-
fore the driver and I got the car off
the tree stump. I bad to hunt them
up though to see how their nerves
stood the shock.
"Did you do anything In reparation
for the frightful damage you created?"
Uncle Henry asked in awful tones. .
" 'Yes' said I '1 pushed the cop-
ing back Into place and stuck it down
i with a postage stamp and as the peo
ple who lived in the house were not
at home to receive my apologies I
went to the corner florist and got
bunch of flowers which I tied to the
mangled tree stump!"
"But wasn't it Just Uncle John's
luck to have bis prophecies come
true! He ought to get a job as we4h-
w man!" Chicago Daily News.
Suddenly all was still.
A ghastly whiteness settled over
the thin yearning face on the pillow
and peace took the place of pain.
Tke end of a life of conjugal mis-
mating had come at last.
"Can you not forgive me all the
wrong you have suffered at my hands
before you go?" he had asked.
"If you have eWr wronged me
Henry." she said "1 forgive you as I
hope to bo forgiven."
"If I have ever wronged you" ho
echoed. "I certainly have and It Is
so noble of you to say those words."
"But I have need to be forgiven
also" she had said. "You will not
refuse?"
"There is nothing to forgive Mary."
he had said. "But If there were any-
thing for me to forgive In you It Is
given freely. I am only sorry It Is
said now. at the close of our lives to-
gether InBtead of at the beginning."
The woman had caught ber breath
feebly and all was over.
"Father." said the young man the
evening of the day after they had re-
turned from the funeral "why did
you and mother always treat each
other so coldly?"
"Hecause there was no love be-
tween us. Let's take a walk down the
road and I will tell you about it. The
trouble began from the very begin
ning of our .married life In fact be-
fore our marriage."
They had walked till they reached
the edge of a little wood by this time.
I had presumed to think that I
might make your mother my wife but
had little prospect of success. A
young man came into the neighbor
hood from Chicago. He was a sum
mer boarder at a neighboring farm
house. His name was Hubbard Sid
ney Hubbard. He met your mother
and she fell In love with him at once.
None of us had any chance then
Prartloally we all gave It up. But
one evening toward the close of the
season. 1 was passing the house where
he boarded and was astonished to see
him In earnest talk with a girl whom
I had never seen before. They were
standing at the open window and he
had an arm around her. I watched
them a moment and as I turned to
go came face toface" with your moth
er. We heard him use endearing
terms to her saw him kiss her and
then heard him promise to go with
her at once. T took your mother
home and left her almost completely
prostrated. She did not say a word
of what she had seen to any one. She
was very proud and high spirited. The
young man and young woman disap-
peared that night; and as soon as
your mother had recovered sufficient-
ly I renewed my suit and she accept-
ed me. on condition that I should take
her away from the neighborhood.
"Your mother never returned to the
old place her family having removed
also a short time afterward. Thny
had lived there but a short time and
had no Intimates so none of them
ever hearl from the pelgfiborliood
again. I went out there to settle up
some of my affairs and heard that
Hubbard had been there learned the
story and Inquired my address. A
few weeks afterward I went out dur
ing the late afternoon for a walk as
we are doing now. and met him right
here. He accused me of treachery to
him and said that the lady whom we
had seen him In company with was
his sister who had come after him
to aid her In untangling some proper-
ty matter which required their Imme-
diate attention. One word led to an-
other and finally he struck me. I re-
turned the blow with Interest and he
fell striking that rock there" point-
ing to a large rock by the roadside
"after which he never stirred. I had
killed him but had not intended to do
so. I dug a grave over there" point-
ing to a mound so slight as not to be
noticeable "and burled him."
"Did mother ever know?"
"No. my bey."
"Did any one else?"
"No." i
"But that Is why you and mother
were always estranged from eaca
other?"
"Yes."
"Oh well cheer up. father. It
was not so bad the killing I mean.
You did the only thing you could do.
The estrangement was terrible. It
might have been better If you had
told mother."
"It would not under the circum-
stances." "Well don't dwell on It now.
will go home now and make the bei.f
of It dear old father."
"But I am not your father."
"You nre not my father? Then
who Is?"
"The man sleeping under that
mound there."
And the elderly man walked delib-
erately Into the dark wood leaving
the younger one sitting on the r"k
where his father had breathed Ins

Books for the Children
Care must be taken In the stories
we give to growing children that evil
la always overcome. Book friends art
very real to boys and girls and In
fiuence their character. There shoult
be effort and conflict in their stonei
and daring endurance and steadfast
purpose. Stories In which the child
hero acts rightly are particularly
valuable because what a boy or girl
has done appeals more directly to the
child's owo power. He feels thougb
he may not express It even to b'tn
lelf thai what other children hav
3one he can do. .
