Uncle Robert frowned forbiddingly. \If you had rheumatism, such trifles as dress wouldn’t trouble you. W h a t 's th a t ? ” “It’s the predicament!” announced Hilda, succintly.

Anne glanced up quickly, then brought a cushion, and placed it un der the rheumatic knee, asking: “Is you rheumatism worse to-day, uncle?” The knots in Uncle Robert’s face instantly untied themselves. His eyes lighted up, and he straightened himself quickly, despite his lame ness. “Worse!” he vociferated. “ Worse! Well, I guess it is! Thought I ’d never get through last night.

Send us your Houses “For Sale” or “To Rent” burnished or Unfurnished Don«t Wait Anne pushed the cushion a trifle farther under Uncle Robert's knee. ” 1 think, Hilda, I’ll not have it touched. Any alteration would hurt -------- ” “Anne Tupper!” cried Hilda, sit ting up with a jerk. “ Do you mean that you are going up there with this awful yoke j u s t as it i s ? ’’ Anne nodded. “I can’t bear to wear it, Hilda, but I d o n ’t want to hurt ------- ” Uncle Robert leaned forward and fixed Anne with a pair of shrewd but not unkind eyes. \If you don’t want to hurt Mrs. Greenleaf, why don't you take that rigging with you, but wear something else?” Anne hesitated and shook her head. “ I couldn’t do that way,” she began, and would have gone f u r ther had not Hilda spoken more rapidly. “Aunt Margaret will ask her just when and where she wore it. Now I could manage all right to evade her— I have done it a score of times— but Anne won't,\ “Anne can’t,” corrected the mother gently. Anne’s evasions were weak and j transparent. “ Anybody,” Anne often sighed, “can see right through them. If only I were as quick and apt ns Hilda!” \The pain”— Uncle Robert struck In with disconcerting abruptness, as II the subject bed never traveled away from rheumatism— \took me just above the knee this morning, and followed this muscle”— he pointed—- “down to my ankle. Now that is a new spot, and I ’m going up to the city to-morrow morning to see Doc tor Welch. There isn’t a doctor in this town that khows a thing about rheumatism.” He picked up his cane and pounded on the floor for empha sis. “Not one! They're all alike and wofully i g n o r a n t.” Hilda, realizing that he was fullfl launched on his favorite theme, left the room. Mrs. Tupper picked up d white waist she was making for Anne, and busied herself, but Anne basted seams and listened. Uncle Robert reached out absent- mindedly with the crook of his cane and drew to his side the chair on which lay the lavender. Putting the dress on the seat of the chair, he rested his elbow on the back, all the time talking. “ Doctoring is no good, a'nyway. Look at Mrs. Greenleaf. She’s al ways doctoring and always ailing. I don’t see how she can stop taking patent medicines long enough to make dresses,” scornfully poking thd lavender gown. “ She thinks she’s worse off than any one else, but she ' isn't, and won’t be until she gets ; the rheumatism.” “It must be very painful,” mur- i mured Anne. Hilda returned with a white skirt and sat down at the sewing-machine, ! “ What must be p a inful?” she asked in a bored tone. “The rheum a ti s m ! ” groaned Uncle Robert. “ Wait until you have all the kinds at once— articular, muscu lar and a touch of inflammatory— and you'll think so, too. Doctor Brown,” he added, looking about with an in quiring eye, “advises me to drink water— drink it by the quart and gal lon. Now I ------- ” Anne rose with alacrity and left the room. Hilda ran the machine at the top of its speed and wished that Uncle Robert would find some thing else to talk about. Mrs. Tup per turned tucks placidly and ran them neafly. Presently Anne reappeared with a pitcher and glass. Uncle Robert relieved her of both, and poured a glassful of water, setting the pitcher on the edge of the sewing-table. Then he sipped water and detailed his symptoms to Anns, going again over his sleeplessness of the night be fore and the reasons which induced him to consult a city physician. Anne listened patiently as she basted the sleeves of her waist, en deavoring conscientiously to confine her thoughts to rheumatism and keep them away from the lavender dress. Presently Uncle Robert began to take his leave. It was a tedious process. He groaned and lifted his rheumatic leg down from the chair. Anne at once hastened to hold his cane while he lifted himself up slowly with a hand on each chair-arm. Once on his feet, he groaned again, and reached for the cane. Then something unexpected hap pened— that is, it was unexpected to tlie Tuppers. No one ever was told whether or not it was unexpected to Uncle Robert. But somehow, as he turned, his cane became mixed up with the pitcher, which instantly dis charged its contents over the laven der dress. “Now see what I’ve done!” cried Uncle Robert, in a tone intended to be rueful. Promptly dropping his cane, with movements surprisingly quick for one afflicted with three varieties of r h e u matism, he seized the lavender and bundled it together, muttering some thing about \water on the carpet.” Hilda flew away from the sewing- machine, and seizing the limp bundle from Uncle Robet’s a rm, shook it out, crying in a tone ringing with triumph, “Anne, you can never put it on again! It's ruined!” ! “ Oh!” cried Anne. “ Oh!” invol untarily her face lighted with joy. Uncle Robert picked up the pitcher. “ I t ’s broken,” he grumbled, “and I wager it's your best one!” Hilda made no reply. She was gloating over the ruined dress; but Anne took the china fragments from Uncle Robert’s hand, saying earnest ly, “Never mind, uncle— accidents will happen.” Over Anne's head Uncle Robert’s eyes met Mrs. Tapper’s in a sly twinkle, but he only cleared his throat gruffly and thumped the floor with his cane. \I hope,” Anne began, a shade of anxiety creeping into her voice, “ that Aunt Margaret won't be hurt ------- ” “ You leave Aunt Margaret to m e ! ” rumbled Uncle Robert. “ I ’ll go over now and explain what I’ve done. Hope she won’t expect me to listen to an account of her neuralgia, though. Ouce get her started on that subject and she never knows when to stop. I’ll look out for that and head her off!” Still speaking and frowning deeply. Uncle Robert opened the front door. But as he slammed the door behind him he Chuckled. A few moments later Hilda and Anne, \watching from the window, saw him emerge from Aunt Margar et's side door, followed by Aunt Mar garet's voice. ’Yes, 1 knew water would spot it. Poor child! How dis appointed she will be; but perhaps I can manage ------- ” Uncle Robert struck the porch floor with his vane, and Interrupted brisk ly, “ No, you will manage nothing of the kind! As long as I spoiled tiie dress I'll make it good. In fact, I ’m going to take Anne up to the city to morrow and let her pick one to take its place.” “Oh, Hilda, did you hear that?” yasped Anne, in delight.— Youth's Companion.
