" v ?$&?&$ i S -M-MX":-e& SHORT STORY OF THE DAY. TWO OLD PEOPLE. Senile Montgomery, in New Orleans Times-Democrat. They had been driving slowly, and he had Ireen bending down to examine a creaking front wheel of the rather dilapidated road wapon in which they sat; and, as he bent Vu;. the thought came to her for the hun dredth time that John was failing, was, feebler than he had been. A3 he sat up the ecarce broken filly shied over against the thaggyold mule on htr own side, and she noted with relief how firmly John' twisted lingers held the rustic rope line, and that the old buggy whip, reserved only for these Sunday drives, came with a sure, urong stroke across the glossy little creat ure. They were coming home from church, the ew Methodist church, the bright spring midday and the warm sun glowed down disagreeably overhead and facilitated the llilntegratlon of the dust clods in the long, White country road. "It was good, Annie. He done well for a Joung man.' said the old man slowly, with out looking at. her. for his eyes were gaz ing oer the fields they were passing, fields of hundreds of rows of tiny cotton plants. "Yes, he is a better t-peaker than his lather were. Bat, John, I feel the lonelier for having heard him. I've been thinking, John I eat there, jou know, and I -were thinking "Well, Annie?" "Only, John, that If you fell ill. or I, you Know" not willing to alarm him "and if one of us should die we've lived so long together it would be hard. It will surely be lonely for one of us some time, you know, with no one, and without the other." They drove on,In silence. They had lived their whole lives together, and a peaceful, loving friendship had brought, them Into such clote sympathy they often sat to gether for long intervals without speak ing. Her face was smaller than his own: but. ao much alike were their faded feat tires, even a. stranger would have guessed them brother and sister. Presently he got out to open the big gate that led them Into their own back yard. It was rather a email house, but It was the uniy noma eitaer naa ever Known, ana was made precious by life-long familiarity and nssoaauon. She was erlad vet almost mrrv. tnn as she sat rocking and listening on the low gallery. It had been her idea, suggested orncwhere away back in the spring by that Fermon, to have somebody come and help inem ana Jive wun tnem. and make a lamiiy. Ana from Missouri Mary's son liad written that ho was willing; that his wife had "taken to it at once' and that they had two children. , lie waa Sister Mary's only son, and Mary bad died long ago in Missouri, and the 1oy had never seenthem. It was natural be should have asked,- "How many acres rem tae ionn.r ana 11 iney were mort gaged up;" not understanding that they were two poor old peopla offering him a wealth of love. She was going to give them her "best room," s sort of parlor, and she went and stood In the doorway of the low, large room, looking lovingly into the cool in terior. Already she half felt that she had done wrong to ask these strangers to come and make their home there; that she and John, who bad lived so long quietly to gether, were happier perhaps alone. 'When she reached the gallery again she was coughing, and her mouth was moist with the blood that bad come so often it had ceased to alarm her. She looked thin, and old. and frail, her white hair and glasses glistening in the sun rays. She was "set in hep ways." and "sickly' and "old mald lsh;" but, for all that, her heart was hun gry and sick for companionship, some one to love them her and John. She leaned forward and peered out in the now gathering darkness, and did what she had never done before ran down and opened the gate for John. It hurt her with . a. quick jealous pain to see another hand ling the reins; and afterward "In the house the whimpering of the children startled her. jarring on her sensitive nerves. She felt with a tremulous foreboding that tbey had made a mistake that it was her mistake-, and. as tha children nn i-rMmfnp fmm her. that they would never love her; that another woman's children could never give the love she wanted, and that the great, passionate yearning of her life had come too late. The children never quite made friends with her. so Nell, who, in a brisk quiet way, had taken' "the housekeeping and worry" entirely off her hands, was obliged to get a nurse: and a "nigger house serv ant," the lifelong horror of this poor old woman, roamed freely over the premises. It was October, and Nell stood looking out of the window, her pretty face glowing from a recent nearness to the stove. "Sweetheart." she said lovingly to her husband, "this is the first home we have ever owned, and now I want you to buy me some pretty roses and cut away those scraggy bushes In the front yard. That old cloth of gold hardly bore a perfect bloom; besides, it's unhealthy to have vines on the house." Something large and hard seemed to come tip in Aunt Annie's throat: but before she could speak she was glad to hear John f "T "ternlJj If somewhat huskily; "No.Phll JP. That vine was given me when a youth by my one sweetheart She Is dead, and you roust not cut it down, sir. And the other flowers are Annie's." The young husband and wife exchanged glances, and when one of them spoke it was to change the subject nBn,LA'J2LA?n'e elt that the something In her throat grew bigger; the "tight" IeSUnL"eemed to occupy her entire left side. When the children had come In and upper was over. Aunt Annie noticed how cheery the little tolly looked. But John 2uL.par JsUe.nV resting heavily on his elbow; his head leaning on one hand. Perhaps he was bowed by a rush of old erles. and set recalling the sorrow that had so long blighted hfs life. Again Aunt Annie noted with tender anxiety his eei,',"& hl" slow uncertain movements, and, looking up. was conscious that the nephew, too. was curiously watching them! She went over, and did a thing she hid not done for years-kissed John good-nlcht J',P.on...th0i "2eaJ. and then, afhamed at lkRifL? f'oolUh weakness 2nd tend erness before these strangers, she almost ran to her room. She undressed hastily but had scarcely turned down the light before a faint salt taste was In her mouth? Alt though conscious of little pain, she felt a great weakness coming over her, a great pressure over her breast She pushed off the cover and called faintly. Across the Jiall the younger child was crying, and Its . seemed to drown her own. She lav VSJr I?at ,emed a long time, the blood TV'KHneJhe Puw d darkening the clean white sheet Presently the door opened eoftly and a rough old hand closed over her own. "Annie'" his voice was low and it sound ed far off "Annie!" Sho tried to speak, and. falling, would have raised her head In acknowledgment of his presence. But the blood gushed T PERSUASIVE FRED.

It was spring; the rose still grew on the gallery and was holding to the sunshine hundred bursting faint gold buds. Nell had never alluded to It again: indeed, the en tire front yard seemed fallen into pitiable neglect A sow had torn off a loose board and her pigs, half concealed by the wet grass, were grunting and rooting among some Illy bulbs. The children, "forbidden" to go on the front gallery, peered curiou-ly around the door facing, alternately push ing one another out and scrambling within the open door again. '"What's uncle doing, stooping down there by the fence?" said one child. "Mending It," answered the older. "Ain't he been there a long time!" The nephew, passing, looked out Noticing tho stillness of his uncle, crouched in the rickety fence corner, he went out to see what was the matter; then he called gent ly to his wife that he had found the "old man" dead.
