erary l'rv#s.
You uiuy tin ve read u dozen stories
about Miners mid other folks who mis
trusted banks mid kept their money In
the house to lose It Ht tbc hands of
robbers, but you have never read of
Auut Huunab buy. though she was
Just that sort of |>ersoii. She was a
widow mihI bad passed the middle age
and had a little farm near a village
where sbe lived and bired a man to
work It.
Aunt Hannah wasn't a miser, though
?he was known to be stingy and to be
suspicious of every one that came
along. Her first thought toward a
stranger was to ask berself If be was
after the money, for sbe kept money
In the house. While ber husband was
still alive a bank bad failed on tbem,
and they had lost $1,000. Krom that
date ou the woman bad looked upon
every banker as a robber.
In one way and another Aunt Han
nob had got together $3,000 In gold.
Sbe had burled It down In the cellar
in a fruit Jar. but she didn't believe
she would ever receive a visit from
robbers. When iwople warned her that
she was running a great risk she re
plied :
"Oh. la. la! if robbers ever should
cemo I'll make 'em a cup of ginger tea
and ask them to please go along and
not bother an old woman. Robbers
have mothers as well as other folks,
and when they see my gray hair and
wrinkled face they'll think of their
own mothers and not harm me."
Oue day there came tolling up the
long hill ou whoso crest stood Aunt
Hannah's rather gloomy bouse a boy
about fourteen years old. Oe was rag
ged and hungry. He was a city waif
who had left the city behind and was
tramping. He saw Aunt Hannah in
her cucumber patch and opened the
gate.
"Well, bub?" she queried In her brisk
way.
"I want to live with you for awhile,"
was the reply.
"But you have s lazy look about
you."
"Gimme something to do and see
how I'll mako the dirt fly!"
After a few more questions and an
swers he was given a slice of bread
and butter aud set to work.
Aunt Hannah had always tlgured
that If robbers came it would bo at
midnight aud that tbero would be
three of them and each wearing a
black mask. Sbe had written down
and then committed to memory the
very first words sbe was going to
speak when sho found them bending
over ber bed and flashing the light
from a dark lantern In her eyes.
Jack bad a bed in the garret, which
was not a bad sort of place, while
Aunt Hannah bad a bedroom on the
first floor. The tired boy was always
In bed at 8 o'clock, but tho woman
waited an hour longer before winding
the clock and retiring. One evening
at half past 8. as she sat sewing, thfc
door opened and two men entered
No masks. No dark lantern. They
didn't look a bit like robbers.
"Madam," said one, and he smiled
when he said it. "we havo come for
that money!"
Aunt Hannah's robbers bnd come ax
last; but alas for her, her program
had been all knocked out She was
so frightened that she was tonguo
tied for the next three minutes. Sh?
Just sat and stared at them and won
dered if sho had grown deaf and mis
understood their words.
"Will you hand over the tnoneyT'
"No. I'll l>e snumnied If I will!" ab?
exclalmcd an xtie suddenly found he>
voice and nt tho same time began tc
struggle.
In fifteen seconds she bnd A Knp In
her mouth nnd one of tbe men was
saying:
"Too bnd. Isn't It? Wo thought the
old lixly would see things In tbe right
light. Ones* we'll have to burt ber
after nil!"
Five minutes nfter Jack bad gone to
bod he was asleep. Tb.it sleep lasted
about twenty minutes, and then a touch
of colic woke him up. He hnd been eat
ing preen apples nil the afternoon to
make lilin' grow. The hired man had
told him It was n sure thing. ITe didn't
get out of lied at the flrst twinge, but
, at about the tenth. Ho would go down
stairs and 'fess up to Aunt Hannah
| and get a remedy, lie got so far on his
way as to know that there were stran
ger* Iti tbe sitting room nnd thnt one
of them was saying to tbe widow:
"We should hate to burn tbe soles of
her feet with lighted matches, but we
must have that money!"
Jack scuttled back upstairs and from
a back window dropped to the roof of
the kitchen nnd thence to the ground.
FTalf a mile away was a farmer who
was cutting his meadows and had Ave
or six harvest bands nt the bouse. Tbe
distance was covered In short order,
nnd the laborers turned out with guns
and pitchforks.
She bad Just got one blister when the
harvest hands nrrlved. There was a
hot tight for Ave minutes, and then one
of the robbers was captured and the
other made his escape. Jack came in
after the nffalr was over, and Aunt
rrnnnnh tried to embrace him and tell
him whnt nice things she was going to
do for him. but bis reply wns:
"It's me for the road again. 1 enn't
stnnd colic and robbers on the game
night. nnd that blister on your foot Is
goln' to keep you yollln" nt somebody
for a month to comer'
And he turned his back on the crowd
and wnlkcd awoy Into the darknesa,
whistling as he Kent
