"Poor old man, I declare it's a pity." *1 don't think so," said Mrs. Xlilnian, sharply. "Folks haven't no business to live to he so old as Metbusaleh. I declare, if I'd a-' lniowed he was to live i with us I'd ha' thought twice at'ore 1 married Deacon jMiluian."

"There ain't 110 telliu' the trials I've had with him," -went on Mrs. Miiman, shaking her cap borders dolefully. "I wouldn't undertake it then," said Simeon, dryly. "Do you suppose he will last through the night?" "Oh, he can't, uo way in the world. I've sent for Bethiah Jones to come tomorrow and clean and whitewash the room, and as for that old rack o' furnitoor, the three chairs and the pine desk, and the bureau, I mean to have 'era split up for kindlin' wood before the deacon comes hack. He'll he just foolish enough to want to kepp 'em, and I won't have no such Noah's ark trash about my house." "That's most a pity, ain't it?" said Simeon, who was outraged to a pretty littlo apple-cheeked village girl, and viewed the far-off possibility of "going to housekeeping" as Moses might have viewed the Promised Land. "They're awful rickety old things," said his stepmother. "But they're furnttoor. all the same," pleaded Simeon, "'and somehow it seems to me as if I'd like to keep a little something to remember old Percy Milman by, even ii he ain't no nearer relation than my second cousin. He used to be real good to me when I was a little tow-headed boy. Come, stepmother. 1'il give ye a dollar for the lot of 'cm." "Well," said Mrs. Milman, reflectively, "it's worth that to git the plaguy things carted off the premises. You m.?y have 'em. Simeon." "I don't suppose they're worth much," said Simeon, "but it seems-a pity to split 'em up. And now I'll go in and see the old man." Old Percy Milman, lying on the bed from which he was destined never to arise again, had listened to the whole conversation, plainly audible through the board partition, merely papered over, that separated his apartment from the family sitting room, for, dying man though he was, he yet retained every faculty. <Tln^ in ctf>t v'ul o' me." he thought, mournfully, -while a pan? went through the heart -whose pulsings wore well nigh at an end. "Well, 'tain't so very strange, neither, as 1 knows on, hut Rachel Miltnaa always was a sour, cold-hearted woman. Simeon shall have the furniture?I'll give it to him myself afore the end comes." And when Simeon came in on tiptoe the old man looked briskly up. ' "You needn't stop so gingerly, hoy; I ain't asieep. Snuff the candle, and set down aside of me; I want to say a word or two to ye. And tell Rachel to come in. too." "Oil, dear'." said Mrs. Deacon Milnan, when the old man's- request was made known to lier. "I'll bet be wants a bowl o' berb tea made or a Jot o' fresh gruel boiled. I've been on my feet al! day, but sick folks never have any consideration." "Raeliel," said the old man abruptly, "I've been thinkin' about that 'ere old furniture o' mine." Mrs. Milnian cast a consciously guilty look across the patchwork quilt toward her stepson. "It's old-fashioned, but it's good, and I've made up my mind to give it to Simeon." "I'm sure 1 thank you lclndly. Cousin Percy," said Simeon, awkwardly, while Airs. Miiman ioouea comuseu. "There's some old tilings in tlie bureau drawers, and the cushions for the ?beers?they're all Simeon's. too," added Percy Miiman. "Mind, Rachel, all." "I'm sure, lie's welcome," said Mrs. I Miiman, tossing he!1 head. "I don't want none o' the old trumpery." "But you shall have the dollar just the same," said Simeun, in a whisper to his stepmother. "For Sim was always good to me," i added Percy MUiuan, dreamily, "an' I ain't one to l'orget. if I bo old. No, 1 [ ain'.t one to forget."' And the old man fell asleep, never to wake again in the world, whose wilderness he had trod so laag and so sadly. Simeon carted away the untique furniture the day ai'ier the funeral, and i Mr* Afilmnti nut after liiin with the I i old moreen cushions which had bden 1 forgotten. I "Here, Simeon!" she fried, in her I sharp, high-pitched voice. "I don't want ' none o' the moidy trash left!'' I "All right," said Simeon. with a comi! cal look at the cushions. "They don't 1 seem very spruce, but I dare say Rosa I will be c.ble to make soruethin' out of j I 'em." Rosa Alleu looked dubiously at the i three old cushions ? then her fre.sh, dimpled face brightened, as with a sudden inspiration. "Do anything with them:" she exI claimxl, cheerily. "Why, of course we j can!" | "Bet the covers are all moth-eaten, vfith big holes wcrn in 'em!" said Simeon. "Well, we needn't use the cove*s, I need we?

I "We are young and wo can afford to j wait," said Rosa, cheerfully, when Si ineon grew desperate and talked of gold hunting in the Klondykc. ' Yes, but I don't want to wait until ' I'm an old man," said Simeon, dolefully. The next day Roan, with a pocket j handkerchief tied over licr sunshiny curls and her pretty figure enveloped in a prodigious bib apron, commenced on the moreen cushions with a pair of big shears; for Rosa took as much delight in these email preparations for a home of her own as any maiden in all the land, and her fancy already pictured forth a neat chintz draped lounge with a pillow to mateli, made out of old Cousin Percy Milman's quaint gift. Simeon had already rrevarnished the old chairs and desk and bureau and set them in the barn chamber to dry, and Rosa's eldest brother had promised them an eight-day clock, so that the decorations for a modest little sitting room seemed not so very far off. Thinking of all these things Rosa clipped vigorously away at all the pillow seams. "My goodness!" she exclaimed to her- . self with a slight elevation of the i brown brows, "what horrid stitches, just like n shark's teeth, and what ' coarse thread. I wonder wno couiu possibly have sewed it?" And when all the seams were ripped apart Rosa plunged her hands into the cushions, and out flew the feathers like a flock of imprisoned birds. "Hello!" cried "Simeon's deep-lunged voice behind her shoulder, "that looks like work." 1 But Rosa only toughed, scr.tterinj: a 1 handful of downy dust over her lover's jet black hair. 1 "See, Simeon, that's the way you'll 1 look when you get to be as old as Cousin Ferey when he died.

But Rosa stooped to pick it up, and tore it open. "Simeon, it's money!" she cried breathlessly. And money it was?five ding> twenty dollar bills, neatly folded inside a slip of blue writing paper. "Simeon," cried Rosa, "don't you remember what you told me Cousin Tercy said? All the things were to be yours!'' , "Yes ? but ? Rosa ? I don't understand." "He meant this money?the savings of his lifetime." "By Jerusalem!" cried Simeon, falling back upon his favorite adjuration, "so he did." And he pounced on the other two cushions, tearing them so violently apart that poor little Rosa sneezed a^ if she had taken a whole boxful of snuff at once. "Simeon, are you crazy?" she exclaimed, with widely opened brown eyes. "No, but?T thought so. Rocy. Hurrah!" and Simeon tossed his fur cap into the air. "There's the same amount of money in each of them. Three hundred dollars 1 Rosy, we can get the farm now. We can go to Iiousekeiip jng in xne spring. nunuu nji vua^iu i Percy!" Rosa was counting over the rusty old bills with fingers wbicli trembled so she could hardly hold them. "Oh. Simoon!" she said, "it don't hardly seem possible!" ' But it is possible," exulted Simeon. "Won't my stepmother be mad, though, 1 when she comes to hear of it?" Mrs. Deacon Milman was indignant. She thought Simeon ought to have divided with h?r, but he chanced to be of ; a different opinion. "It's just like Percy," said the deacon's wife. "And arter all I did for him, too. A moan, seltish old miser." "It's just like Percy," said Simeon to | Rosa.

They say (and in this instance the words come from the lips of some one who ought to know), that coffee-brown will be a tremendous hit as a winter gown color next season, and that, although it is being saved up for use in November and later on, coffee color "will be the winter fashion. Brown is always acceptable as a color for cold weather gowns. It is rare to see a person to whom it is unbecoming. Seal brown, as a rule, is more tender to the complexion than some of the lighter tints, gravel, golden brown and olive. { But most of us will remember the prophetic words, and will be on the lookout for coffee colored woolen and velveteens when the imported fabrics are finally unfolded for the "openings" of the fashionable merccrs.?Philadelphia Record.
