AUNT TABBY'S UMBRELLA. " WO of the three Fosdick girls iusfpired to wealth and They claimed a few rich relatives, who visited them occasionally and raved over the "lovely fields" and "darling cows." but nevertheless would have suffered the pangs of W hunger before they would hav^ made an effort to till these same fields or soil their dainty hands l>y milking a cow. Among tho country relatives was Aunt Tabitha Simouds. She began life with a little amount of properly, and had been known to have been very economical for mauy years. She was a very peculiar woman, but received due courtesy at tho bauds of some members of tho famibr on aooonnt of " "what An ill TuM >y might possibly do j for them." The shrewd old lady intuitively gauged these courtesies aud knew just where to draw the line, where true deference should manifest itself. The Fosdicks were a family of six, father, mother, son and three daughter.*. C'elinoa, Clara and Marie were the daughters, but were unlike in character and personal appearance. Celinda was the acknowledged beauty of the family. Clara considered herself of the most importance in literary matters, and Marie, tho youngest, a plain, seusible, good little daughter, who made everybody happy. Just now all were busily discussing a letter just received. It %vn? Cclinda who spoke first. '"Of all things ! That Aunt Tabby should thrust herself upon us this summer ! And we might just as well have had some guest from the city who would have returned the hospitality for me next winter. Aud no knowing whether we shall make anything out of her." "Cclimln, I'm ashamed of 3-011. "Why need you be so mercenary?" exclaimed her father, reprovingly. Celindft ccow led. "I'm sure Aunt Tabby is mercenary," she s*.id, in a complaining toue. "Il" she would aver do anything for us or make us presents it would be different, but she just scrimps all tho time and allows us to scrimp, too." Celimla tossed her head fretfully. "And I'm sure she has no regard for the poetry of life," simpered Clara. "Maybe Aunt Tabby doesn't care for the poetry in books, but she cares for another word that begins with p and that is 'practical ;' she takes right hold to help with the housekeeping," said the tired, overworked Mrs. Fosdick. "Yes, indeed! I don't know what wo would have done that hard summer without her," said Marie, with a grateful remembrance of Aunt Tabby's willing and ready hands. "We ought to have souls above such drudgery," exclaimed Clara, rolling her eyes towards the ceiling. "Well, Clara, I can tell yon one thing," interposed Mr. Fosdick. ".Books are all right enough in their places. Folks ought to have plenty of 'em and know what is in 'em, too? which is more than half of 'em can say who have a big library. All the barac, I guess if it wasn't for this same drudgery as you call it, you wouldn't be quite ns comfortable as you are." There was a little silence while Mr. Fosdick drank his tea and then con tinned: "You like pie ami cake well enough, but you don't want to go into the kitcheu to help make 'em. SeeniR to lue you might help mother and Marie a little more." "Ma says T bother her," replied Clara, iu an apologetic tone. "That'a beeauso you aiu't teachable, like Marie. She had to learn." "It's no use of fussing, girls," said Mrs. Fosdiek. "Even if Aunt Tabby is old and sometimes queer and cross, I think we can manage." ".Jhc needn't be so queer," said Celindu. ".She is just as she was made, if she in hi v nmtt'i , ituu wo vu ^ut n? iiiumj tbe beet of it," said Mrs. Fosdiek, rising wearily from the table. Abner Mason, sitting in the kitchen, had heard all this conversation. He compared the fretful, complaining voice of Celinda to Claia's drawling tones, and ngain with the cheerful, practical words of the pleasant Marie. Abner was something more than a farmer's hand. He possessed a fine physique and fair education, broadened by a. course of good reading. He wanted h kcow how to run a farm. He had Tlews of a time when he might own a farm of his own and he wanted I to learn how to utilize every acre. He had al6o had his day dreams of the time alien his home might be presided over by a fair, good woman, ami pomewhero in tho depths of his soul had been registered a purpose to make Mario his wife. But of this Marie was blissfully ignorant. She worked about house all day and served Abner at table as gracefully us if he wero a titled guest. Mane had no nonsense about her and respected the young man who so faithfully lightened her father's toil. On this particular afternoon she watched her father as he stood in the back porch, pausing for a few moments' rest before setting out for the havfield for tho afternoon's work. She noticed he passed his hands wearily over his pale, tired-looking face, and turning suddenly to him, said : "Pa. can't you sit down und rest a little while'' You look moro tired than usual." "No, child. There's that lot. to be raked up this afternoon, and a good job it is. 1 must be going." Abner came near and said: "I'm willing to work extra hard on it if you rest for a little while. I thin t myself you don't look quite well. If you will trust me I will look after that this afternoon." V* --** * 4' lVJr. Fossick had Ibarned to roly on Abner--nuieh more than ou his owu Hcnrj*, t.L?, if irum must be told, was inclined to shirk. Henry disliked the farm. In fact, ho dislik? d labor or application of any sort. "Then I guess you may go on, Abner, and 1 will rest a spell. To tell the truth I don't feel very scrumptious," and he seated himself in the old-fashioned rocker out in the shady eido of the porch. He soon fell asleep. Two hours passed, and Marie began to feel anxious, as her father seemed still sleeping. Hhc passed her hand anxiouslv over his brow, He awoke, but seemed daied. He ft*led to recognize* her, as he failed to 1 cognize nil the other members OI tno ian::iy. ut. Roiuo woh hastily summoned, who said lie was Buffering from eunstroke, and gently intimated that his working days were over. Abner came home nmcli later than usual, having Htayed to finish the lot. He found the family in distress over Mr. Fosdiek's condition. Somehow the blow seemed to have crushed Mrs. Fosdick. She sat in a state of apathy, from which they could not arouse her. Everything fell in.on Marie. "Mario" must do this. "Marie" must direct that. Henry, instead of biacing himself to heli? uieet the needs of the place, grew lazier than ever, and absolutely refused to bo dictated to. "There's just one thing about it, Abner," said Marie emphatically one morning, "we have got to make our I?bins exactly 11s if Henry were not iHe ear*'t b? d?v>?nded nt>ow You bad to do bis work yesterday as well as your own. He is determined to go to tho city. Let him go. I shall oppose him no longer. Then we shall know just wbat wo have got to depend upon.' Tbe next day Hewy started for the city, leaviug his s' ro of the burden to full nnou Marie ;ud Abner. "I'll do the best I can, Miss Marie," said Abner. "I want you to feel free to call upon mo early and late and I will servo you faithfully." "I don't doubt you will, Abnor, but oh ! if only mother had not fallen into such a strange condition ! Sho doesn't seem to care about anything, and I don't know much. I shall have to depend upon you entirely nbout the farm, and if J fail to show judgment you'll know it is because I don't know, not because I don't care, and thou wo will talk things over aud get aa straight as we can." Marie was not a crying girl usually, but just now such largo tears stood in her pretty eye?, aud she looked up into Abner's face with such an appealing, dependent look that ho felt his heart jump straight into Mario's hands. "It's not much thai I know, but you may trust me, Miss Marie." Somehow Marie folt extremely comforted from that moment, although she could not sing about the house in her old-time way, yet she worked and directed with a feeling of greater security than before. And in the midst of it all Auut. Tabby came. Even Marie, hospitable as she was, fol! a bit more weary aftor ahe had welcomed her and helped her placo her few garments in the neat "spare chamber." "Now, look a' here, Marie. I made up my mind to come, even if your pa an* ma air sick. I can do a little to help, an' I will, too, if you an' I can agree 011 a few things." "But you are getting old, and vou are not strong, nun tie. Yon must not do much; you'll get Kick." "If I niu't capable there's folks in the world as is an' we can get 'em." "No, we can't,for we've 110 money to do it with," said Marie, decidedly. "Well, 1 have, an' I'll dp it, provided a good smnrt gal can come here an' help you, but if you say you'll allow lier to wait on them lazy girl" an' work over their flounceB an' furbelows instead of he 1 pin' you, why 'tiaut of much use." Mario caught eagerly at this hope of help. "Well, auntie, I promise you faithfully that Celindn and Clara shall wait upon themselves and iron their own flounces. We will have goo 1 work done in an orderly manner, and 1 am tired, Aunt Tabby." "\YelJ, there's ono a-comin' by next btage. I counted on bow it would be an' took the liberty to have her promise to come. She's a stout, likely gal." Marie knew her aunt's compliments would not be undeservedly given. She ran down with a lighter heart. Abner came in with his pails of milk and wondered at the unusual brightness of Mario's tired face. 41\7 _ 1 1.11 _ a r.. 11__ i J fill rnu t HlWflJh toil \NI1JIL If II Kn will do," he said, after Marie had explained. "I felt an if she had n streak of good in her which emergencies w ould bring out." And so the summer waned, and the aged father and mother were still invalids. It was with a sad heart and sometimes teer-din?med eyes that Marie saw Aimer's fp.vorito books gathering a suspicion of dust upon their covers. He had no time for study or reading. And then Aunt Tabby suddenly fell ill. "It's of no use doctorin'." she said. "My time has come. I feel it, an' tomorrow I want things fixed pretty much as I want 'em, an' I'll get you an' Abuer to help mo tend to it." So a time was set apart for tho duty ? to Mario a sad duty, for sho really loved the old lady, who had been bo kind to her. With the renewed strength and oloar voice which is sometimes given a dying person, she gave a few explicit directions. "Jest hand me that tin box out o' the upper drawer o'my bureau, Mario." She did as she was bidden. "An' now I want that umbcref o' mine out o' the closet." A faint smile touched Marie's lips as she brought au old brown umbrella that had been the derision of her sisters. Aunt Tabby took it in her trombling hands and deposited it carefully 011 the bed beside her. Then she opened the box. ^ow, nere in tnis oiu uiacK wallet in a hundred dollars. I ealkerlate it. will pay my Mineral expenses. An* hero in this brown wallet is $200 more, which 1 give into your charge, Mario, to help pay some of the hotiso expense. An' here is my will. You take care o' that, Mnrie, an' seo that everything goes straight as I have got it. Lawyer Sibley drow it up an' you oan get him to read it when I'm gone.

Give it to her ; second best will do!" Aud with these strange words she turned her head on the pillow aud expired. A few hours later Marie, standing iu the porch, with the sunset rays falling about her, said to Abner : ' I hope you won't feel insulted by Aunt Tabby's giving you that dreadful umbrola. It was a singular thing for her to do, but you know she was partly crazy. y I know she thought a great deal of you, Abner. I wish sho had done something for you." "Never mind, Marie, I shall not hold it against her, you may be sure; and as for theumbrella, if I wore at all a believer in luck?which I am not? Rl I should say the poor old weatherbeaten thing will certainly bring it to me. T sTiaTi certainly take care of it, I' as she said." tt Cehndr. and Clura were in haste to ? learn the contents of the will. lc "Not until after the funeral," said tii Marie, decidedly. gi And so, after those last rites were performed, Lawyer Sibley was called ni o read the will.

The next morciug it was raining as Marie stepped into the darkened porch. 'There's n cbanco for your new umbrella, Abner," said Marie, smiling a little. lie answered with a look which showed no signs of offense. * Now, Abncr, avo must make arrangements for you to have more help. We can do it now. You have worked too hard. 1 shall never forget your faithfulness and you shall ho paid as far as money is concerned. Most young men would have gone away nn 1 left us in such straits." "I don't know who could leave yon, Marie," ho said, with an earnestness which made her cheeks llush. Just then Ccliudn called from the diningroom : "I want to go out, Marie. My umbrella is broken, aud so is pa* a, Can't I take yours?" "Yes, came tho reply, and they watched Celimhi and Clara as they waded persistently through tho little puddles bctweeu the door and gate. "I think I'll take my new one," said Abncr, aud he nooii reappeared with it. As he opened it a large paper fell to tho floor from the inner folds and a folded note also fell out. Abner read the note first: "To Ai?ner Mison : I hain't watenol you all summer for nothln1, nn' 1'vo made u;> my mind thnt what is yours will bo pretty likely to bo Mario's, too.
