Two Scenes from " Eben Holden " in character, Mr. JONES
Scene One—" Uncle Eben " and little Willie are going through the woods, Willie teasing for a story. "Uncle Eben" sits and tells the " Panther Story ; " then they go on.
Scene Two—Fifteen years later, " Uncle Eben," Bill (the once Willie), and Hope have just returned from New York City. Bill and Hope are in the sitting room. He has declared his love and has been accepted.    "Uncle Eben"   has his candle and is
going to his room. His unexpected entrance is rather dis¬concerting to all, but they tell him they are engaged. He is pleased and his talk to them gives us a sermon in homely logic.
