1 A Birthday I
? ....By ANNE A. DOWN ELL... g
0SO<?^O<?>Oe?^0<?>O<s>0^
The little blue sunbonnfis were
bobbing round the corner.! Emily
Leonard took several impetuous
steps forward with a sudden soften
ing of her fretful face.
"Rosy! Barby!" ehe called loud
ly, but the blue sunbonnetsiff ere out j
of hearing. ''And I sent 'em off j
grieved again/' the mother thought j
regretfully. She could no(t get Bar
bis great round tears out of her j
mind. Rosy never cried, j I
'Tm always cross ironing days j
and washing days and cooking and ;
sweeping days." Her set lip relax
ed into an unwilling smile that sat ;
upon them awkwardhy, as if on un- '
familiar ground. The confusion of
the untidy kitchen repelled her like ;
the push of a hand against her thin j
breast. There was so much to be
done !
"Dishes, sweeping, lamp cleaning, ;
ironing, back breaking!'' she groan- j
cd. Her unkempt hair and sallow, |
worn face looked back at her from ;
the bit of dusty mirror as she cross- j
ed the room. She put up her hand
and swung the glass about with its j
face to the wall with a sharp cry.
The monotonous round of work j
began and dragged itself on. It
was interrupted constantly by the ;
younger children with their impera- !
tive needs?by Robbie's pinched fin- j
ger that must be bandaged and the j
baby's milk that must be heated, j
Then some one knocked at the door. 1
Emily twitched off her apron and
answered the knock.
"Good morning, ma'am. Is your ;
?er?son at home? Or maybe you
can answer my questions. I'm- the
census enumerator."
"!No, I can't," Emily said, rasped
beyond patience. 'If you want ques
tions answered, you've come to the
wrong place. Thaddens is down in
the meadow. If you go along the
road a piece, you'll see him mowing.
He's got a blue jeans shirt on. I
guess he's got time enough; he usu
ally has."
She shut the door with a little
decisive snap and went back to her
ironing board. But in the midst of
smoothing out Rosy^s little checked j
gingham she suddenly dropped into ;
a chair and began to cry. Sho was :
miserably tired. Half the preceding
night she had been awake with the
teething baby, and the other half \
she had slept unrestfully.
"Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" she sob
bed, rocking herself back and forth.
"And if s my birthday! I can't bear j
it on my birthday?no, I can't! I j
want to sit in a rocking chair and
hear somebody else rattling the
dishes. I want to read a book. I j
want to rest. Just on my birthday
?one day out of the whole year.
That isn't a great deal to ask. But
nobody cares. Nobody's remember
ed what day it is. I'm to go right
on ironing clothes, and when the^re
ironed I'm to wash the potatoes and
get dinner. Thaf s how I'm to cele
brate!"
She was talking aloud in a shrill,
sobbing voice, and the younger chil
dren sidled into the kitchen and
stood looking up at her with wide,
^frightened eyes. She did not see
them at all. i
"I did so wknt somebody to re
member. I w?nted Thad to!" she
wailed miseraWy. "He used to.
The idea of his forgetting 'twas my
birthday then! Biit now when I've
worked mysell old and ugly and I
haven't a minute to dress up and
look nice in?now he's forgotten. It
might just as well be the pope's
birthday for all of Thad. If/s the
6th of June: that's all. It's ironing :
day!" '
She laughed, and at the sound
both tiny ones crept away from her
in terror. The hot little room seeth- ;
ed with heat and buzzed with flies.
The iron left on Ros/s little dress
did its work slowly, and a slight
scorched odor rose from under it. :
Still Emily Leonard sat and rocked
herself and cried. She was too tired ;
to stop. The pity of her unremem
bered Dirthday supplied her with a :
running stream of tears. Suddenly j
she sat up straight and fierce. i 1
'Til remember it myself!" she i 1
cr.'iid brokenly. "If nobody else I :
does, I wilL I'll do something to i !
celebrate."
W?d notions of running away and 1
spending the day somewhere in the ]
woods where it was still and cool, of
leaving the baby, the dinner, the '
ironing, behind nor or, better still, i
fcf slipping on her best dress and
taking the 10 o'clock train into, the
city, surged through her mind. She
sat and entertained them excitedly. I
Yes, the city was better. She would <
3o a little shopping?no, not on her *
birthday. She would go and see ]
the pictures at the picturo shops 1
and frit awhile on the common be- j
side the lake anil read t-jo magazines j
at the library. Think of reading ,
xnagasine again! An? when she was I*
?ungty ?he would go into sorno 1
?pfendif? plac? and sit^?wli'?ffituri- ^
ously and be waited on. She would 1
heat other people, rattling tho dishes j
then! There would be dainty things ,
to eat and ice cream at the end, to :
tut and sip leisurely. Oh, yes, tho i
city was better than any other way !
. Eut the dream did not last. ?
- little wailing sound from tho other \
room dissipated it. Emily stumbled
to her feet and hurried to the baby.
His crying drove her own away, and 1
with his wet. little cheek against
uera otu iciiuvr thoughts crept back
again to Emily Leonard. She put !
aaido her bitterness and pain.
"But ITl celebrate it," she said,
smiling wistfully down at the baby, j
"There's another way I've thought
of this minute, baby. ITl tell you?
iust you. Listen. Won't that be a
beautiful way, don't you think ?"
Down in the meadow the census
man was asking questions.
"And your mother's age?" he ask
ed briskly. "I saw her up at the
house, but I guess she didn't want
me to know it.. Women don't."
Thaddeus Leonard drew himself
up stiffly. It hurt him unaccounta
bly to have Emily taken for his
mother. J)id she look as old as
that? Why, Emily had been fresh
and fair and rosy?it wasn't such a
great while ago.
"My mother died ten years ago.
My wife is thirty-seven," Thaddeus
said formally..
"Well, I swan ! Thirty-seven, did
you say? I took her for the old
lady, sure. She- warn't real glad to
see me. I guess that influenced me.
Born what day, did you say ?"
"I didn't sav. She was born the
Cth of June"-^
Thaddeus suddenly stopped. His
fresh, round face took on an extra
flush. He had remerah ired. It was
Emily's birthday. He answered the
other questions shortly, his mind on
something else?on a fresh, bloom
ing little woman whose sweet, laugh
ing eyes he had given a birthday
kiss fifteen years ago. And the
next year, and the next?for how
many years was it he had kissed
Emily on her birthday and slipped
a little gift into her hand ! Not for
a good many years now-. Thaddeus
Leonard would not let himself count
them. He turned back to his work, |
but all the morning Emily's girl
face, fair- and happy, was before
him. And that man had taken Em
ily for his mother. Emily's face was
lined and worn and thin now. Thir
ty-seven was not old. It wasn't
right. It ought to bo round and
happy now. If he should kiss it?
if he should slip a little gift?Thad
deus Leonard flung down his scythe
and hurried down the hot road to
ward the village, a mile away.
At a little past 12 the little blue
sunbonnets bobbed home from
school. Emily met them at the
gate and hugged them both.
"Mother's sorry she was cross this
morning," she whispered, "and on
her birthday too ! Did you know it
Avas mother's birthday today ? Well,
it is, and there's going to be a cele
bratiou 1"
The little girls gazed up at moth
er with shy wonder. She was dress
ed in her best dress, and her hair
was curly round her face. Mother
looked pretty and happy.
Emily laughed aloud at the won
dering little faces. She touched the
ribbon at her throat and smoothed
out her fresh white apron.
"This is part of the celebra
tion!" she cried gayly. She caught
eight of Thaddeus coming up tho
road and with a sudden impulse
waved her hand at him. A laugh
and a sob choked in her throat to
gether. It was so good to be cele
brating!
The dining room door was locked,
to the children's surprise. But
Thaddeus, crept secretly in at the
window. Then his turn came to be
surprised. Ho stood before tho dain
ty table in absolute amazement. It
was spread with a white cloth, and
tho best blue and white dishes- were
on it. There were flowers, too?a
big cluster in the center and a tiny
bunch at each plate. It was laid
with exquisite care, and there was
something mysterious and napkin
draped beside the vase of flowers.
Thaddeus lifted the covering gen
tly.
"Well, of all things T he breath
ed, and the sound in the man's
throat was like a sob. It was a
birthday cake beside the flowers. It
was frosted thickly, and the letters
that strayed across it crosswise
made the word "Welcome." It was
mother's invitation to her littlo
birthday feast.
Thaddeus Leonard replaced the
napkin gently. He slipped a little
tissue package from his pocket to
Emily's place and then groped his
way to the window as if ho could
not see clearly. '
Dinner was at 12:30 promptly,
and the pretty table was surrounded
with a row of wondering, delighted
faces. There was an instant's hush,
and then a clatter of sweet, shrill
little voices. Emily lifted tho small
tissue bundle with a low cry of joy,
but before she had time to open it
Thaddeus was beside her?and ho
was kissing her!?Congregational

CURED THE BORROWER.
Tho Accommodating Man'c Lesson
Was Costly, but Effective.
People- who arc continually bor
rowing household utensils und neg
lect to return them are annoying
neighbors. The problem of how to
cure them of the habit was solved
in an effective though somewhat
costly way by one long suffering
householder.
A new man had moved into the
neighborhood. One of tho first
things he.did after getting his goods
into the house was to borrow a step
ladder from his next door neighbor,
Mr. Smith. He "needed it in put
ting up the window shades" and
"would return it shortly."
Next ho borrowed a tack hammer,
to use in putting down his carpets.
Then ho wanted a hatchet, a
screwdriver and a gimlet, all of
which things Mr. Smith, being an
accommodating man, allowed him
to take.
Several days passed, and none of
the borrowed articles had been re
turned.
'Til cure him," said Mr. Smith.
About a week later tho new neigh
bor came back with the screwdriver
and apologized for having kept it so
long.
"That's all right," said Mr. Smith,
with a genial smile. "But you had
better keep it now. I have bought
another."
With a muttered apology the new
neighbor hurried back and returned
with the gimlet, the hatchet and tho
tack hammer.
"You are welcome to those," said
Mr. Smith cordially. "I have bought
some others and don't need them."
"But"?
"That's all right. You keep them.
They'll come handy about the
house."
Again he hurried away and was
returning with the stepladder when
Mr. Smith, who was just going out,
met him.
"Why, bless me," he said. "You
needn't bring that ladder back. I
have got a new one, so I shall not.
need it."
The new neighbor kept the things,
but he never borrowed anything
more of Mr. Smith.?Youth's Com
panion.
PIant3 That Have Coughing Spelto.
Man, or even the animal king
dom, has no monopoly of coughing
or even getting red in tho face in an
effort to throw off foreign sub
stances. Before there was a verte
brate on the earth, while man was
in process of evolution, through tho
vegetable world Etada tussien?that
is what tho botanists call Jim,
while we know him as "the cough
ing bean"?coughed, got red in the
face and blew the dust out of his
lungs.
Recently botanists have been giv
ing special attention to this bean
and tell interesting things about it.
It is a native of warm and moist
tropical countries and objects most
emphatically to dust. It has an ef
fective means of getting rid of ob
jectionable matter. When dust set
tles on the breathing pores in the
leaves of the plant and chokes them,
< gas accumulates inside, and when
it gains sufficient pressure there
comes an explosion, with a sound
exactly like coughing, and the dust
is blown from its lodgment. And
more strange, the plant gets red in
tho face through the effort.
Honesty the Beat Polloy.
Not long ago a shipowner was
negotiating with an insurance com
pany with regard to effecting an in
jurance on a vessel overdue.
Before tho policy was delivered
the shipowner heard of the vessel's
loss and wrote at once to the insur
mce company thus:
"Sir, if you have not yet mado
rot tho policy, you need not, for I
aave heard of the ship.'*
"Oh," said the manager, who dis
;overed that the policy had not been
signed, but immediately proceeded
to have it executed and sent off,
'the fellow wants to do us out of
;he premium."
So ho wrote to tho shipowner:
"You are too lato by half an hour,
four policy has been posted to
fOU."
When the claim was made, tho
jompany had to pay, a3 to have re
fused would have brought out tho
real facts.?London Standard.

"But, signora, I have no clock to

said the gentle voiced Italian.
"Clock I Why, certainly you have

"But has not the signora forgot

Owls.have n hab'i o? dealing with
game they have killed that leads
some observers to think that, like
dogs, they prefer fowls that havo
not been too recently slain. One
of the birds will often leave a
chicken or rabbit for a day or two
before eating it. An old trapper
says he has often had muskrat traps
robbed by owls, only a part of the
rat being eaten.
When he finds a trap so disturbed,
the trapper leaves the rat where it
lies and sets another trap beside it.
Li uii probability tho bird will re
turn tho second night, in which ease
it will be more than likely to be in
the trap when the owner comes next
morning. An owl in a trap will of
fer to fight, and, if it gets a chance,
will peck at its captor or his dog un
mercifully.
A farmer who caught one of tho
birds by setting a trap alongside of
a chicken that had been killed in
judiciously reached out to catch it
by the feet. Tin? free foot executed
a movement that was ont in ly be
yond the fanner's comprehension,
and the next minute tin? latter
found his wrist gripped in \ set of
claws to which the trap was as noth
ing. Ho was obliged to kill the
bird, and then found that the claws
had penetrated to the bone.
The Earlieot Yacht Race.
What is said to be tho earliest of
recorded yacht races took place on
Oct. 1, 1GG1. John Evelyn in his
diary of that date mentions that ho
bailed with his majesty Charles II.
in one of his pleasure boats or
yachts, "vessels not knor n among
us until the Dutch East India com
pany presented that curious piece
to the king, being very excellent
sailing vessels. It was on a match
between this and his other new
boat," continued Evelyn, "built
frigatelike, and one of the Duke of
York's, the wager of ?100, and the
race from Greenwich to Gravesend
and back, the king lost it going
down, thn wind being contrary, but
saved stakes in returning."
The word "yacht" is itself Dutch,
but tho vessels which the merry
monarch sailed were little similar to
the racers of the present day. Men
tion is made of other yachts and
races, but tho details are verv mea

Bees the joy, the ambition, the success and
