declared and unlike many sons he did not disappoint her He grew up a slender thoughtful studi ous lad desiring nothing better than to labor in the vineyard where the fields arc white So early in life lie went West to be a missionary in his work and often ex hausted from his journeys- across the white dusty stretches of alkali- he too seldom wrote home Not that he did not think of his father and mother but that he did not take the time to send them the letter that they craved- had been the funloving boy they missed him perhaps more if such a thing could be possible than any of the others He had bought his fathers wool out once at a caring time That was the great joke of the family Lewis had bor rowed clothes with wig ami specta cles and letting one of the into the secret persuaded him to bring him Into the farm house and him as Mr Alexander a buyer of wool Lewis was a professor now in a college and so engrossed in instilling the knowledge into the youthful minds about him that he wrote borne Charles had been the smartest quickest one of all the boys his fa ther said that and he had early tak en a liking to law So his father and mother With many selfdenials and sacrifices had sent him to a law school where he graduated with high honors He had a large and growing practice now in a thriving city and had gone a little into politics- besides But preoccupied with the interests of his clients he neglected to write to the grayhaired couple on the farm The girls for there had been daughters had Mich large ami increasing cares that they failed to remember by cheering word of their lonely expectant and anxious father and mother It Was Rebecca who first thought of it They were going to have rural dee delivery in fathers neighborhood she wrote John one day had been her favorite brother with all her she had managed to keep in touch with him Wont it be a great thing for them Only think a mail will be delivered every day in the week except Sundays at their own gate Poor father I often think of driving those long to the postoffice and getting nothing for his pains hut a little country newspaper must do better John That was the beginning John wrote to Charles telling him about it and the word went on until all the eleven were apprised of the fact that hereafter letters home would be delivered at the gale John saw postman coming that first morning He was sitting in his chair by the window the window that faced the blue ridge of bill over which the children hud disappeared one by one never to re turn Not likely well get a letter is it mother he had asked a wistful expression crossing his face the children would write I expect they forget how much We them hut Im not complain ing know they have enough of their own Mr wife had come over to his too was looking anxiously breathlessly Oh I hope its a letter from one of the children hurried down the path letter for you maam the man said touching bis bat This is a great day for country folks isnt it They deserve some of the city people privileges Mrs took the letter with ringers that trembled a with nervousness and joy is she answered as she studied the superscription AH at once her face lighted up Why from John she cried happily She and her husband had a beauti ful time that day because of that let ter They pored over the closely written sheets John told them all about his work about every little detail he would be of interest and he ended with a tender and lov ing message to them both His father and mother were crying when they had finished the letter and laid it carefully away among her treasures as something infinitely precious to be read again and again The postman stopped again the next day It was another letter and from Charles this time who with all his keenness had a loving heart i R Mother On a foggy Sunday in May of the year the steamship Senator was trying to make her way among the Aleutian Islands She wished to reach Dutch Harbor to land a steer age passenger an old man ill with pneumonia But as night- approach ed the sick man Then writes a correspondent of the Hartford the 1day search for the Har bor was abandoned and the steam ship headed out into the open Sea When the officers gathered mans they found that he had been a veteran of the Civil War and had treasured a certificate of mem bership in a Maine lodge of freema sons His only other possessions consisted of a tent and blankets a grub outfit two cheap watches two cheap rings a small picture of a pretty child and a dollar and sev enty three cents in money What an equipment for an old man in a barren miningcamp near the Arctic circle To us who were young and strong it seemed a fortun ate thing that this old soldier had passed beyond the reach of hardship We made a canvass of the masons

a mite surprised if they sent him to Congress some day Rebeccas letter came the next day telling them about the children and enclosing a picture of the baby whom they had never seena fat smiling little creature with a dimpled face On the fourth day the postman stopped again lie smiled as he handed another letter to Mrs She took if happily Why its from Frank she cried beamingly Another son is it Yes my youngest boy oh Im so glad to hear from him She hurried breathlessly up the path She was anxious to reach her neighbors husbands side and read that precious letter for she remembered how hard Frank had worked on the farm to make them all comfortable Hear hoy she murmured her lips quiver ing a little When she opened It a slip blue paper fell on her Tap Dear mother and father Frank began I send you herewith a check for one hundred dollars It occurs to me that perhaps the house needs painting or the fence fixed up Use it in any way you see fit Then he went on to them of his wife his children and himself closing at last with affectionate mes sages from hem alt Mrs Wheclock folded the letter with tender hands She was think ing of her little boy for the years had rolled hack and she saw him again at her side She looked across- at her husband with eyes full of tears Its just like him isnt it fa ther she said Only think of his thinking of the fences and old house It does need painting doesnt It Frank was always the boy to keep things up Thus It went on for eleven days until every child What a joyful time it had been Mrs as site penned with her trembling hand a letter to each one told them about it Aid as she the touching letters they determined that their father and mother should not be neglected again So it came about that the long and dreary silences were broken at last by cheering thoughtful letters from the children John stands more erect now and wrinkled face has lost its wistful look Ms wife sings happily in the bunny old farm house kitchen When all thy
