UNCLE EPH'S ESCAPE.

Xa GItm Hist Own Voraion of tka Affair. About four mihta aaat of the town I Hve in ia tlw okl Groot plaoe, a beantifal farm of five orsix hundred acres, sad whan I was a growing girl I used to spend weeks and weeks there with Msry Groot. I did every thing sha aM rose at daybreak, fed young Umbs and calves on a bottle, helped take care of tha chickens and turkeys, caught the roan mare and harnessed her to tha buggy if any lxnly wanted ta drive to town, and 1 even went ta tha district school for awhile. The Groots, who were not connections of ear family in the remotest degree, were all uncles and aunts and cousins to me, and tha farm was a second home. Mr pony and I were always welcome there, and it was, perhapa, aartlv owinz to my aversion to all

schools except the poor little district school, that I waa sent to Europe to have soute education ram mad down mv throat When I came home, three years aftar, on tha vary- first spare day I drove out to the Groot farm, telling my mother beforehand that 1 would spend tha night K I was invited. A certain latter of Mary's, w hich had remained unanswered, lay heavy on my conscience; otherwise I should have packed a sachel and gone to tho farm with tka intention of spending several days. As I jogged along tho tarn-pike, driving tha pony, that, like aw, had grown satiate, I forgot that my draaa was no longer up to tha tops

of my boots until tha toll-gate came insight. Ia former days it had given ma great pleasure to send tha pony through tha rata oa a run, and a little fat, rod-faced man would bounce out aad shake his fist aftar ma, but now, kea a sad-looking woman stretched forth ker hand, I meekly dropped the pennies into it and made a remark about tka weather. Mad youth had fad forever. On wa Jogged, tha pony and I, up the long brick-yard hill, then turned off into a narrow, winding road, pausing the school-house, Moh was shut up so tight that it seemed aa If it could never ha opened again. I waa growing very malanaholy, and tha November day suited y mood, lor tho sky was lead-colored, and a despondent little wind laade tka naked branches of tha trees

raak Hka old man's joints. There had keen a light fall of saow, and here aad there a white patch lay ia tat hollows, bringing oat the brown taaa of tha fields. By tka time I had reached the farm 1 had convinced myself that all the Gfoote were dead, and tkat their house aad barns were in rains; but a mass af smoke curling up oat of a stout red chimney raised my drooping spirits, end whan a vary old dog trotted to tha fata, I reoogahted Prince, and he acted as if he reoogniaed me. There was aot a soul stirring. I drove tke faay aader the eked, tied and blaakwd Mm and then went toward tke fcauet, Prinoe fwlowinc ma. Tka house

said Unele

Kph, "ami so wa all are, except you

and Mary. Mary, she's thinking oi getting married in the spring, but we don't know how we aait spare her. Did you pick up a sweetheart over there in Europe?" I shook mv head and he added:

"Well, I giteaa it is just hs didn't Getting married

This wm a remark ha had bean making for many years, and although he was of a simple, confiding nature, none of the designing country spinsters or widows could cajole him out of his

bachelorhood. He seemed perfectly

satisfied to dwull under his brother s roof and spoil his brother's children. Mary and the rest used to Impose upon him, for he could refuse us nothing, while Uncle George Groot, who owned tho farm, would sometimes scold us or box our ears. Uncle Kph yielded to our moat unreasonable demands without a murmur. He was well-to-do, like all the family, and the dairy was his special care. He would start out before daybreak to serve milk to his customers in town, and return late in the

forenoon, reading tha newspaper to the musio of the jingling empty tin cans. "res," he repeated, 'getting married is a great risk. I got married myself jast after you went away, Imt I hadn't ought to have done it, for I waa

close on to sixty, and I wa'n't cut out for a h u baud." "Married!" I exclaimed. "Kobody wrote me a word about it." "Well, it wa'nt muck of a marry, but I'll tell you about it before tka folks coma home. George don't tak the right view of it; George, he don't more' n half know me- he don't understand me at all. Now, it's eur'us," Uncle Eph continued, in a reflective

tone, "how there can be a streak in a

man that don't show till ha gats old, and then all of a sudden crops out"

"I a' pom, Janet, that you think r
