8yearold son of Frederick Parent Ave was killed this morning when ho pushed a live wire which his fouryearold brother at tempted lo The had fallon down across the sidewalk from a light system pole There was grave questioning In the Walton family over letter that had come In the mornings mall Cyrus Waltons brother John who hart gone west years before had on his death bed commended his only child to the care of his relatives I know It has been a long time the dying man wrote since we have heard from each other- i neglected the home folks when J first went away and so almost lost track of you all but now that the doctor tells me I have but a few hours to live my mind goes back to my own people and j shall send my little girl to you I trust Lerthe sake of our childhood days you will receive her and kind to her The letter had been addressed to Cyrus or David Walton but the post master well knew that he would incur the anger of Cyrus if he presumed to put It in Davids box for the former was a man of prominence in his own eyes at least and wished due defer ence shown him So the letter was read first in the family of Cyrus Wal ton discussed and though it began My Dear Brothers it was not tilt next day that David was told of it It is a perfect nuisance to be asked to lake a child into ones family said Gyrus daughter Arabella am sure we get half the new things we want now because papa is always grumbling over the expense I do not sec what sense there would be in adding to his burdens I cannot bear child always about she Is probably half savage anyway Papa take the letter over to Uncle David and try to persuade him lhat he can receive her His house is full of children and one more will not make much difference What do you mother ask ed Cyrus looking depreoatlngly al his wife What do I think Well my own children are able to take care of them selves Ive brought thorn up and no thanks to anybody and I will not be bothered with those of other people Besides as the girls say we cant af ford it Im afraid David cant either he said meekly Well no one will force him to take her but I think he will He is a soft headed softhearted Idiot and his wife is Just as bad They need not have been in the trouble they are now if David had used common sense and not signed those notes of Uncle Dan iels Yes but it was to keep the old man from ruin ho thought and if Uncle Daniel had It would have Won alright You know when David was a hoy tic was more than kind to him sent him to school after father died and helped him to farm David insists now that he was only paid what ho owed uncle in spite of the turn af fairs have taken I will do my best to urge David to lake her Hut persuasion was not necessary David Walton had a heart of flesh and when he road the letter of his dead brother and learned that his child was east to her relatives he looked Cyrus eyes in which the tears glistened and reaching out his hand said We will do our- host for the little stranger eh brother Well you see David said Cyril my wife dont think she can bo bothered with her and the girls seem to fancy we cant afford it and so he stammered they thought perhaps your folks would not mind one extra child where there were so many I cannot do for her what you might said David hut I shall share what I have with my lit tie or phan niece The brothers did not move In the same social set While the wife of Cyrus moved heaven and earth to get admitted to the highest stratum of fashionable society Davids wife who lived on a farm Just outside the village apparently cared very little for any such distinction She strained every nerve lo give her children the beat legacy they could have At present the family was under a cloud David having had to mortgage pretty heavily to meet Borne obligations which he had never ex pected to be called upon to pay The oldest daughter had been obliged to leave school and teach a before completing the course and the eldest son had gone Into Judge Carrolls of fice while the younger members of the household did their best to help the mother so that no expense need be Incurred for servants Walton had not anxious thought as to what Ihclr verdict would be when he told them of their uncles request Poor little thing said mother kindly She will be very lonely We must try to comfort her I wish John had written before It would not seem to her so like going among strangers If we had been In communication for years How old Is she mamma asked Mabels the second girl As old as I really cannot tell you my dear I have been muoh In Ignorance of her existence as yourself up to the present We only know she Is your cousin arid alono In the world I trust you will all do your best to make her happy David looked at Harry and the eldest who were home for the holidays They answered his look neally father said Harry I am sorry that this burden should be laid upon you Cyrus Is far better able to bear It and I think ho should do so But If we all scrimp a Utile I guess we can manage Soon two letters went to the far west to the address given and Mr Williams looked comically at that of Cyrus Walton for he read between the Every woman should know the
