The little fellow is but 6 years old. He dearly loves his uncle and aunt. The former is rather gruff naturally, but he is kind hearted and he thinks a great deal of the boy, who does not appear to mind bis gruffness. Recently his aunt started in to read him "Little Lord Fauntleroy." He grew deeply interested in the fascinating story and followed the trials and troubles of the little lord very closely. His aunt dwelt upon the chapters chap-ters depicting the cruelty of the crusty old earl, but the boy did not seem to mind this at alL He seemed to know that Fauntlerov would come out all right in the end. ""Don't you think that the earl was a mean old fellow?" asked his aunt one day as she finished a chapter. "Oh, I dont know," replied the boy, "I think I could stand him. I stood Uncle George."
