M. Caring for Uncle Horace Uncle Horace was over sixty and discouragingly rich. There is a point where one's Income becomes so great that people pass from common, ordinarily covetous envy to a resignedly helpless state of mind. They write down the figures of that Income, stare at them and then say: "Oh, shucks! There ain't no such Income!" That was the delight ful kind of Income Uncle Horace had. Mrs. Stebbins and Mrs. Cromp, his two nieces, were so devoted to him and said they counted it r :ch a joy to have the dear old man's presence glorify their homes that they lost good sleep planning how to entice him away from each other. Moreover, each was ' firmly con vinced that the othsr was a designing person. Since he had come to stay with Mrs. Stebbins for a few months she' had felt that something was wrong with Uncle Horace. If it had not been for his income Uncle Horace would have been a small, insignificant individual with pale eyes and an un pleasant habit of wanting the best chair, and of sitting in the next room and coughing when his niece had call ers. Under the circumstances he was a reserved, original man with ideas of his own, which his relatives delighted to humor. What worried Mrs. Stebbins espe cially was Uncle Horace's air of ab straction and his unwonted helpful ness. Usually he was under feet, in vestigating everything that went on and getting In the way tremendously. On these occasions Mrs. Stebbins was wont to say, throHgh her teeth, that lt was perfectly wonderful the way Uncle Robert kept up. This time he paid no attention to what was going on in the house, but would sit deep In meditation or stare out of the window. Mrs. Stebbins' first fear was that he was losing his mind. She said she would feel perfectly terrible if anything like that hap pened to the dear old man while he was under her care. She said she never would be able to forgive her self, never! "Mebbe lt's rheumatism," Stebbins suggested, hopefully. "That ls liable to make a man do almost anything!" "Don't you want some more blank ets on your bed, Uncle Horace?" his niece asked him after this suggestion. "Are you perfectly comfortable?" "Thank you, Tilda, I'm perfectly comfortable," Uncle Horace had re sponded. "I guess I'll go after the mail!" This was really a double blow, for Uncle Horace normally, was not po lite, and he always wanted anything that was offered him, no matter what J it was, and also it was a long walk to the post office. Mrs. Stebbins had begged him to let little Johnny go and save his own strength, but Uncle Horace had per sisted. lie said he felt that he ought to do something instead of sitting around and letting the family wear themselves ouf wailing on him, and that he was glad to be of service. "Not In this rain, Uncle Horace!" "Surely not when the wind is blowing so, Uncle Horace!" or "Don't worry me by going out in this snowstorm, Uncle Horace!" had not the remotest effect upon him when he started to climb into his galoshes and wrappings to go after the mall. Mrs. Stebbins said to her husband, dolefully, that abe feared it was the beginning of the end. The week that Uncle Horace took to starting at a sound and to flush at a word or an unexpected look, filled Mrs. Stebbins with alarm. That something awful was the matter with Uncle Horace she was convinced and she besought him to see a doctor. She made him jelly and fed bim beef te? despite his protests and tried In vain to get some Intelligible conversation out of him. Then ono day he "7ent after thc mail and did not come back. Mrs, Stebbins had the whole town out searching for him. She wept as she looked on closet shelves and up trees and In other Impossible places and said that nobody could know how her heart bled at the idea that darling old Uncle Horace might be l terrible danger that very moment The Stebbins family and most ol the town stayed up all night search ing. Then the next morning a note that explained everything came fror, Uncle Horace. "I went away to get married," ht wrote in his crabbed hand. 'I hav< been corresponding for some tim? with a most estimable widow of fortv five, who wants to make a homo foi me in my old age. She has four chll dren, and we will all come to vlsi) you soon, for I know you will he ai fond of S. lly and the children as yot are of me." They revived Mrs. Stebbins thre< times before she quit fainting. Ther she remembered that Mrs. Cromp was blt just as hard as 6he was and thai made her feel better. "It serves that designing, self-seek lng woman exactly right!" she tole the neighbors. "Pretending to car? about the doddering, foolish, tirosom< old man! As for me, I took him ii because I felt it was my duty!" Three of a Kind peeking relief from the Summer beat. They'll compare notes in their own equine way about the lat est fashions in horse millinery and -Harness!
