Queered His Grandfather.
Peter Augustus had a foolish, fono
old grandfather. The grandfather was
boasting to a visitor one day. as grand
fathers will, about the family lie had
raised.
"My daughter Martha is a fine young
woman." he said, "and her little boy,
Peter Augustus, is a fine lad. But the
finest thing about that pair is the af
fection that exists between them
They never exchange a cross word.
They're more like two young lovers
than mother and son. it's beautifu
to see them together. Moid on a min
ute, and I'll call Peter Augustus in.
Then his mother will come down, and
you can see I heir relations for your
self."
The old man rose and ambled heavily
to the door. There was a beatific smile
on his old face. Little Peter Augustus
was playing with the cat in the gar
den.
"Peter Augustus T he shouted. "Pe
ter Augustus! Your mother wants
you!"
The little boy dropped the cat and
fixed a searching glance on his grand
father.
"Your mother wants you. Peter Au
gustus!"
"Does she want to warm me?" Pe
ter Augustus cautiously demanded.
