"Hut tbat -t.trlla j,'ir vas a b-? lief t to the eye. And flie was the most eb-K.ant kind of a housekeeper. I wa tlie neaxtt npiclibor. antl I used to ride over to the DoubleElm anywhero from nine to ixten times a "week "Ith fresh butter or a quarter of venison or a sample of nc' sheep-dip Just af a frivolous excuse to Bee Maxilla. Marilla a.nd me got to bo extensively inveigled with each other, and I wes pretty sure I was Koints to et my ropo around her neck anil lead her over to tho Lam i to. Only .she was so everlastingly i-rmeatef wlt'.i r.Ual sentiments toward old Cal that I never could K'"t her to ialk about tserious matters. 'Tou never saw anybody in your life that was as full of knowledge and had ley ense than old Cal. lie was advised about all the branches of information contained In learning, and he was up to all the rudiments of doctrines und enlightenment. You couldn't advance him any idea.s on any of the parts or speech or lines of thouuht. You would have thoucht he w,is a professor of the weather and politics and chemistry and natural history and tho origin of derivations. Any subject you brought up old Cal could slv you an abundant synopsis of it from the f;rek root up to the timo it was Kicked and on the market. "One day Jtit after the r.ill shearing I rides fiver to the Double-Elm with a lady's magMlne about fashions for Marilla and a scientific paper for old Cal. "While I was tyin? my pony to a mesfjulte, out runs Marl Ihn., 'tickled to death' with some news that couldn't wait. " 'Oh. Hush.' she says, all flushe l up with esteem and fratlfication, 'what do you think! IXid's groins' to buy mo a piano. Ain't it errand? I never dreamed I'd ever have one.' " 'It's sure joyful.' says I. 'I always admired the agreeable uproar of a piano. It'll be lots of company for you. 'Hint's miirhty s od of Uncle Cal to do that.' "'I'm all undecided.' says Marilla. i 'between a piano and a orpan. A parlor orpran is nice.' " 'father of em.' says I. 'is lir-sl-cTasi for mitUatlnk: the lack of noise around a hetp-ra nch. For my i part,' I says, 'I shouldn't like anything better than to ride home of an j evening and listen to :i few waltzes and JIrts. with somebody about your size sitting on the pi.a.no stool and ! round inf. up the notes.' " 'Oh. hush about that.' says Mar- i ilia, 'ami K n in the house. Pad hasn't nie out today. lie's not feeling well." "Obi Cal was inside, lyinj- on a cot. fie had a pretty bid cold and eoup-h.

" 'I'm going to San Antor.e on th-: last lead of wool.' Keys Uncle Oil. 'and neJect an ir.plrurr.ent for her myself." " 'Wouldn't It be better,' I suggestf. t take. Marilla along- and It t her pick out one that she likes." "I mlpht have Vnown that would sc-t Unclt Cal goin. Of courso. a iri.in like, him, that knw everything about everything, would look, at that aa a reflection on his attainment?. " 'Xo, sir. it wouldn't.' says he. pulling at hi- white whiskers. 'There ain't a better Judtje of musical instruments in the whole world than what I am. I had an uncle,' says he, 'that was a partner in a plam factory, and I've Feen thousands of 'cm put together. I know all about musical Instruments from, a pipe organ to a corn-stalk fiddle. There ain't a man lives, sir, that can tell me any news about any Instrument that has to be poinded, blowed. scraped, grinded, picke!, or wound with a key.' " 'You get me wh?.t you like, dad.' says Marilla, who couldn't keep her feet on the floor from Joy. 'Of course you know what to select. I'd just as lief it wa? a piano or a organ or .vh.at.' " 'I see In St. Lr.uis once what they call a orehewti ;nn,' says Uncle Cal. 'that I judged was about the finest thing in tho way of muhic ever invented. Hut there ain't room in this house- for one. Anyway, I imagine they cost a thousand dollars. I ' reckon something In the piano line would suit Marilla the bent. Sh tcok lessons in that respect for two years: over at Itirdstail. I wouldn't trust the buying of an instrument to anybody -vise but myself. I reckon If I hadn't took up sheep-raising I'd have been one of the .Inest composers or plano-ard-organ manufacturers In the world.' "That was Uncle Cal'f style. Hut I never lost any patience with him, on account of his thinking so much of Marilla. And she thought just as much of him. He sent her to the academy over at IHrdstail for two years when it took nearly even' pound of word to pay tho expenses. "Alon about Tuesday Uncle Cal put out for .San Antone on the last wagon load o? wool. Manila's uncle Hen. who lived In lUrdstail. come over and stayed at the ranch while Undo Cal was gone. "It was 00 miles to Ran Antone, and 4 to the nearest railroad station, so Uncle Cal was gone about four days. I was over at the Double-film when he came rolling back one. evening about sundown. And up there in the wagon, sure enough, was a piano or a organ we couldn't tell which all wrapped up in woolsacks, with a wagon sheet tiee over it in case of rain. And out skipo Marilla. hollering, 'Oh, oh! with her ?yes shining and her hair a-flying-. Tad dad,' she sings out, 'have you brought it have you brought it?' and it right there before her eyes, as women will do. " 'Finest piano in San Antone,' says Uncle Cal. waving his hand, proud. 'Genuine rosewood, and the finest, loudest tone you ever listened to. I heard the storekeeper play it. and I took it on tho spot and paid

It In a corner. It was orv? of them ; upright instruments, and not ery j heavy or very big. "And then .all of a sudden Ur.e! 1 Cal fops over and says he's mighty tick. He's got a h!h fever, and i'.e complulns of h'.s Jungs. lie gets in- j to bed. while nie and Ben goes out j to unhitch and put the horses in the ( pasture, and Marilla flit around :o j fzet Uncle 'ul something hot to drink. Hut first she puts both arms on that piano and hugs It with a soft kind of a smile, .ike you 5c- ; khis doing vith their Christmas toys. "When I came in from the pas ture. Marilla was in the room where; the piano was. I could see by the I tirlngs; and woolsacks an the floor j that she had hiI it unwrapped. Hut ' now she was tying the wagon sheet ; over it again, and there was a kind : of solemn, whitish look on her face. ; " Wln't wrapping up the music j again, are you. Marilla?' I asks, j :What's the matter with just a cou- j pie of tunes for to see how she go s j under the saddle?' j " 'Xot tonight. Kuyii.' says she. 'I don't want to play any tonight. Dad's too sick. Just think, Rush, he paid throt- hundred dollars for it nearly a third of what the wool- j clip brought!' j "'Well, It ain't anyways in the borhood of a third of what you nroj worth.'" I told her. 'And I don't j think Uncle Cal is too sick to hear j a little agitation of the piano keys j Just to christen the machine.' j " 'Not tonight. Hush,' says Mar- j ilia, in a way that she had when the i wanted to settle things. "Hut it seems that Uncle Cal was plenty sick, after all. lie got so bail that Hen saddled up and rode j over to Hirdstail for I'oc Simpson. I stayed around to see if I'd be needed for anything. "When Ur.cio Cal's pain b t up on him a little ho called Marilla and savs to her: 'Did you lool; at your instrument, honey? And do you like it?' " 'It's lovely, dad.' hivs she, leaning dow n by his pillow; 'I never sa .v one so pretty. How dear and good it was of you to buy it for me'' " 'I haven't heard you play on It any yet,' s-iys Undo Cal; "and I've bei n listening. My side don't hurt ijuite so bad now won't you play a piece Mnrilla?' "Hut no; she puts Uncle Cal off and soothes him down like you've seen women do with a kid. It seems she's made up her mind not to touch that piano at present. "When Doc Simpson con' es over he tells us that Uncle Cal ha pneumonia the worst kind; and as the old man was past sixty and nearly on the lift anyhow, the odds was against his walking on grass any more. "On the fourth day of his sickness he call for Marilla again and wants to talk piano. Toc Simpson wa.s there, and so was Hen and Mrs. Ben, trying to do all they could. " 'I'd have made a -wonderful success in anything connected with music,' says Uncle Cal. 'I got the finest instrument for the money in Ran Antono. Ain't that piano all right In every respect, Marilla?' " 'It's just perfect, dad.' ays she. 'It's got the finest tone I ever heard. Hut don't you thinV you could sleep a little now. dad?' '"Xo. I don't. s,ivM Uncle Cal. 'I want to hear that piano. T don't believe you've even tried it yet. T ALE OF

went all the way to Pan Antone and picked It out for you myself. It took a third of tho fall clip to buy It: but I don't mind that if it makes my good girl happier. Won't you play a little- bit for dad, Marilla?' "Doo. Slmp.Mn beckoned Marilla to one side and recommended her to do what Uncle Cal wanted. so it would get him quieted. And her Uncle Hen and his wife asked her, too. " 'Why not hit out a tune or two with tho soft pedal on?' I asks Marilla, 'Uncle Cal has beggod you so often. It would please him a g-ood deal to hear you touch up the piano he's bought for you. Don't you think you might?' "Hut Marilla stands there with big tears rolling down from h.r eye and hays nothing. And then shn runs over and slips her arm under Undo Cal's mck and hugs him tight "'Why, last night, dad,' we heird her say, "I played ever so much. Honest I have been playing it. And it's such a splendid instrument, you don't know how I love It. Iast night I played "Honnie Dundee" and the "Anvil Folka" and the "Hlue Danube" and lots of piece. You must surely have heard me playing a little, didn't you, dad? I didn't like to play loud when you was so sit.' , "Well, well.' ays Uncle Cal. maybe I did. Maybe I did and forgot about it. My head is a little cranky at times. I heard the man In the store play it fine. I'm mighty glad you like it, -Marilla. Yes. I believe I could go to sleep awhile if you'll stay right beside me till I do.' "There was where Marilla had mguessing. Much as she thought ot that old man. she wouldn't strike a noto on that paino that he'd bought her. I couldn't imagine why she told him she'd been playing it. for the wagon tmcet hadn't even been off of it since she put it back on the same day it come. I knew- sho could play a little anyhow, for I'd once heard her snatch some pretty fair dance-music out of an old piano at the Charco Largo ranch, "Well, in about a week tho pneumonia got the best of Uncle Cal. They had the funeral over at Birdstail, and aJI of us went over. I brought Marilla back home in my buckboard. Her uncle Hen and his wife were going to stay th?re a few days with her. "That plght Marilla takes me. in tho room where the piano was, while tho others were out on the gallery. "Tome here, Rush,' says ?hc; 'I want you to see this now.' "Sho unties the rope, and drags off tho wajjon sheet. "If you ever rode a saddle without a horse, or fired off a gun that wasn't loaded, or took a drink out of an empty bottle, why, then you might have been able to pea roe an opera or two out of the Instrument Undo Cal had bought. "Instead of , a piano. It was one of them machines they've) invented to play tho piano with. Hy itself it was as musical as tho holes of a Mute without tho flute. "And that was the piano thatt Undo Cal had selected; and standing by It was the good, fine, all-vool girl that never let him know it. "And what you heard playing a while ago," concluded Mr. Kinney, "was that same deputy-piano machine; only just at present it's shoved tip against a six-hundred -dollar piano that I bought for .Marilla as soon aa we was married."
