iron works ho always seemed to bring
his business with bim. The1 house of
Bondage was big and strong, but lt
was bard, and still, and dark, and too
-orderly. From the outside it looked.
Uko a fort, and inside, thc chairs stood
at attention, like soldiers. Tho par?,
lor was a solemn pince, where the
stiff furniture was seldom prevented
from looking at Itself in tho gilded
mirror. The dining room didn't get
the sun until towards evening, when
the motto, "Be Good and You Will Be.
Happy" could be ns plainly seen ns
the one on tho opposite wall, "Chil

When the boy put <m his bated bib
there, lt exhorted him with, "Don't Eut
Too Much."
Chained to the front porch was on
Iron dog, whose fixed and ferocious
snarl was a standing Insult to all tho
village' dogs that could get through
the Iron fence to dispute with him.
There was some fun, about the place;
lt was when n surprised dog -retired
from the attack with a new respect for

was the bright spot for Ishmael. When
he went out there lils aunt would, hang
his Fauntleroy suit up lu tho closet
.and give him a leather 'suit that could
not be torn and tell him to go it. He
could cat without a bib and there was
not a motto In sl.;ht. By tho time that
vacation was over he was n reol boy.
The other boys stopped calling him
"Sissy" and no longer asked him If
hin mother knew he was out. Indeed,
he up and thrashed a bullying boy who
had knocked over ono of his compan
ions who was about half his size. Af
ter this there was nothing that he
could not have among his crowd. So,
every .vacation sent a prim but Jorful
hoy to Aunt Sarah and closed With a
more robust but rather dejected one on
his way born?, ,
But Aunt Sarah also had a mind of
her own. She had so much mind that
she had concluded that winter to go
and. give Benjamin Bondage a pieco
O? it.7 She considered Ishmael's stato
and situation and resolved to give his
father "a good talking to." When she.
appeared Mr. Bondage felt that his
time 'had probably come. When she
had finished he know lt had. She told
him that he had forgotten that he
was ?ver a hoy, If, Indeed, lie bad ever
been' one, that he had made himself

and did-pot interfere, even when Aunt
Sarah, flushed, but triumphant, carried

When May came lt seemed time for
Ishmael to go home, but he was not
very happy at the prospect. Indeed,
he was rath 9? unhappy about it. Ile
felt something like one on his way to
Jail, und1 even shed tears at Ute

a squirrel, seeing him wiping his eyes,
under a tree, exclaimed "Oh, what a

Ishmael went. . .
. Anolbor surprise awaited him, how
ever, for, as he neared homo and en
tered it, everything seemed changed.
The house lookedj sunny and pleasant
in its new colors, the fence had disap
peared, the Iron dog had been jnoved
to the barn, and the malled knight had
gone down to the ironworks to bo
turned into plowshares.
When Mr, Bondage went out to
Swectfleld to visit his sister and to
report upon Ishmael's progress, Aunt
Sarah had her reward. "It ls all your
doing, Soi ali," said he. Ul needed
soineo?e to show me ftp to1 myself."
"Well, brother," sold Aunt Sarah, "A
Stitch in Time Saves Nine," as tho
proverb bas lt, and you certainly will
be proud of our boy yet, as proud of
him os I am of my big, now brother,"
When December came blustering

and all bis load of love and Jollity,
there was no place thnt(moro warmly

as Mr. Bondage's home bad come to

fuller of mirth and good cheer than
the one tit Mount Freedom. They

motto that hung from the top. of lt

the floor and they shouted In their
glee. The squeaking toys, the tooting
whistles, tho Im-ppy* songs, ail made
the time as merry as it ought always
to bc, while tho gifts spoke messages
of love. ,
Ishmael had prospered enough in his
studies to make a picture of Sweet
field, lt hung over the mantel shelf
in the living room and under it he had
written, "The Home of tho Green
Christmas." When anyone asked him
about lt /ie would tell them how spring
once came in a wintry tlmje; bo would
say that. while Christmas comes but
once a year, lt sometimes comes twice,
and that whenever it comes it brings
good cheer ; but he was never able to
make, a picture of his Aunt Snrah that
seemed to him good enough.
