Mrs. Denno put tlio finishing touch' es to her ioniptins little sunpor-tftblc ( set for thrco ) , tucked Cissy's napkin around her neck , nnd lifted IRT intc her high chnir , thou. stepped to the wide , cool door-way to watch for hot husband , llu cuinu in sight ere lung , walking wearily nnd slonly , ns if the fnir sunnner picture of mountains nnd green fields gleamed upon eyes too sad to drink in their beauty and sig nificance. A man certainly not old in years , but with lines jf care abwitt his temples , nnd a painful droop ( o the mobile , sctisativo mouth , which show ed a harassiut * anxiety , a constant , daily struggle with fato. His wife walked down the grassy garden-path , and took Ins hand in hers : ' 'You ovor-tirod , Jerry. I hnvo n nice supper for youand Cissy is full of cunning little ways to-night , Cheer ) , dear. Ho looked down with a sorrowful smile , and put his arm around her. " 1 am tired to-night , Lottie , tired nnd discouraged. I hnvo been to Cyrus once more , but " His voice broke , and Louie elapsed Itis hand moro tirmly , and raised it to licr lips : "Never mind tolling mo , my dear. I can guess it. Ho is determined to foreclose the mortgage ! " "Yes. " She walked silently up and down the path with him. "My own brother , Louie ! It does acorn as if he might give us another chnnco , you .know how ho is about money. Since he married that second wife of hia ho socms harder than ever. Lloncst ho is no man could over say that Cyrus wrpngod him of n cent , but war to the knife to got his own ! " They entered tlio kitchen , whore 3issy was beating n drum solo on her .in plate , and casting cngcr glances at ; ho plate of frosli ginger-bread. "Pappa's baby , " said Jerry , and bent down to kiss her. Ho sighed heavily as he took his seat , while a tear atolu down his cheek. "Ugly man to make my pap.i cry , " said Cissy , doubling up her small list , "I I jus' kill him ! " The four year-old tot had gathered enough from her parente' daily con versation to Know that they were in : roublo connected with " a man" vhom she remembered to have seen n 'ow days before at their house. Ho i.id talked loudly nnd fast , nnd the ncntal photograh loft on the waxen ablet of that infant soul would hnvo nado nn angel weep. 'Hush-sh , Cissy. Mamma's daugh- or musn't talk so. She should bo n ; entlo little girl ! " nnd Louie stroked ho little fist till it slowly uncurled. "Martin Lest told me to-day that Cyrus has just bought another yoke of oxen , nnd n § 200 buggy , " said Jerry , bitterly , as he took a forced swallow of tea. "Well , " said his wife , "it can't bo iclped , dear. Eut don't lot us chor- sli hatred , or say anything wo may ) o sorry for. 1 know it's hard it's lard ! " nnd her lips quivered as she ooked around the neat , home-like dtchon , nnd glnnced beyond it to the vine-wreathed window of the bed room whore her baby's eyes had first opened to the light. "You know liHcrent people have different make ups. " A great sob rose in her throat she gave one look at Cissy strug- ; led to restrain her feelings , but the loud-tide of grief must have way , and , rushing to Jerry , she clasped her arms about his neck nnd burst into ears , just as a shadow fell across the door-way , and a visitor entered. In the morning sunshine , in the corner of a flourishing field near a hrifty-looking white frame house , urroundod by substantial out-build- ngs , a man with n bushy , red board , ind small , weasel-like , gray eyes , was locing corn. Ho was so busy that he icithor saw nor heard the approach of outsteps to the fence. "Cyrus Deano , do you know that 'ou'ro a-sondin' your own soul ri ht straight to perdition ? " He looked up , startled. A tall , Xaunt female was peering at him from n pair of glistening ) spectacles a woman in n rusty , black dross and a itraw "shaker" trimmed with a bom- ) azino capo , and a single bow of black ibbon. It was Miss Mahala Trufiett , She was that universal village cliarac- , er of whom the weak nnd vicious BO ustly stand in awe n woman who ipeaks her mind and a very startling vay she had of doing it. ISmng pos- CBsed of considerable property nnd ocinl position , she waa allowed to exercise hur privilege to her heart's ontent. A tongue like forked light- ling , when occasion required , hut a icitrt o'erllowing with Iwvo for the truggling and miNering. Cyrus ) cuno shifted his hoe nnensily. " 1 [ on't see hcow you make it eout thet . 'm ii-guin' any faster'n other folia. I min't done nothin' to disohlccgo you het I know of , " "You know what 1 mean , I was ip to Jerry's last night. " She "avo urn another steady look from those lli.idamanthus-like glasses His gaze ull huforu hues. "I hain't pizonpd none o' Jerry's cutters , nor sot his barn a-firo , hov r "You'vo pi/.oncd his peace o1 mind ; ou'vo wore him eout with worry , till le's a walkin' ghost. I sot great store n Louisy Ann , I do. nnd when I eee lor a-gitti . ' that lit o' high-stencks ast night , nil along o' your hardness and Kcnnchin' meanness , I come as ugh bilin over as over I did in my iio ! Your own hrolherCyrus Deano ! J'ho little , curly headed chap that , ike enough , slop * on the same pillow with yon many a night. What would , -our mother ha1 thought , ef aho'd ia' knowod hcow different you'd turn out ? " Cyrus Deano drew down his bushy eye-brows and gave an energetic kick at a small bowlder. "Jerry lied cz good n chance to git along oz mo. Wo started even. It's us own look-cout ! He hain't no han * o manage never was never could jit forehanded in his born days.1' "Tho moro reason why you ought to bo merciful. Ho hain't hod ce good a chance ez you. The year that your barns was groanin' an' runnin jver , his wheat got the weevil , an' lis corn ketchcd the mildew. His cattle died , an1 his tools was stole. Ho laid sick with rheumatic fever , and lied a doctor's hill of SOO to pay Do you call that oz good ft chance c ? yours ? Louisy Ann works oz hnrde ? any woman , cookin' , an' clcnnin' , and grubbin' , an' never hod the fits scrap of hired help'ccpt for 11 days when Cissy was ft baby , nn' she never gits a ride in a brnn-now buggy , nuther ! " casting n keen glance to ward the wagon shed. Cyrus mopped his beaded brow with n red cotton handkerchief , and took up his hoe with a determined air , ns il to end the conference. "I hain't ben harf as hard on him ez some folks would ha' boii. I've gin him tiino , an' gin him time , ( ill my pntionco is clean tuckered eout , nn' ho keeps a-tallin' behind instead o' pettin1 forrard. He's youiiger'n 1 bo , ho kin go west ! " Miss Malmta took ot her "shaker , ' nnd shook out the capo , stralghtem-d out the bow , and sot it on her head again , then said , in slow , measured tones ; "May the Lord hov mercy on your soul. Cyrus Dennu ! Ef ho measured it eout to you cz yon do toother folks , you'd hov precious little to bo thank ful for. " She walked slowly down the road , and Cyrus went on with his hoeing. Ho didn't consider himself n hnrd man , Honest , outwardly ho was , ns .lorry had said , but "war to tlio knife to get his own " In two short weeks ho could foreclose the mortgage , and Jerry's little place would bo his own. Would he do it ? Miss Malmla's words wore verjuice to his consciesco , fern n brief minute nobler feelings strove with his greed of gain , then , dashing down the hoe : "Nol Goshdurnitl Jerry's got to look eout fer himself. He's n irrown man- not a baby ! Why carh't thet cussid eld vinegar-face mind her own business ? " In the afternoon ho drove to the next town in his now b'uggy. A little llossy-haired girl ran out from a nook in the woods , and cried , "Man man- take mo a little ride , do please. " Ho rained up the horse , and helped the little creature in. Cyrus Deano had one soft spot in his heart it was for little tiny children. No prattling lips had over called him "father. " It would have boon bettor for those he had to deal with had it been other wise. wise."And "And whoso little gal bo you , pray , out hero in the woods alonof" ho asked. "I'm Cissy Deano , and mamma lets me go to the big rock by myself , 'cause 1 know the way. " She looked up and gave a little howl. "Let me out ! Oh , lot mo out ! You'ro ' n bad , dreadful mini ! You'ro the man that made my papa cry ! " She scrambled down , and shaking her tiny list at the buggy , stamped her foot , and ran uwny. A bitter look came into Cyrus Deauo's face. "My own brother's youngster , an1 I never would ha' kuowed her of she hndn't told mo her name. She'll hate mo too , like cs not ! " Ho whipped up his horse , nnd drove on rapidly. Fate seemed determined to thrust the mortgage business in his face , at every turn. Ho had two weeks before him. Ho could change his mind whenever ho chose. Should ho do it ? Cyrus Deane and his wife were eat ing their early breakfast next morn ing , when Miss Mahala gave a short knock at the kitchen-door , then , according to the prevailing custom , opened it , and walked in. With a rather grim "good moriiing" to Cy rus , nnd a stifllsh nod to Mrs. Deano Number Two , who handed her a chair , she proceeded nt once to the business that had brought her there. "Heow much "ill you give fcr that big blackberry lot o' mine , Cyrus Deano , south of Anthony Wood's place ? " Cyrus looked surprised. "SVhy , what bo you wantin' to soil that blaok- b'ry lot for ? " "That jest the identikit question , Sposin' I dew want to sell it , what will I sell it for ? In other words , what "ill you buy it for ? " Cyrus beano's little gray eyes twin kled. His vulpine instincts scented a bargain. Ho hemmed and hawed : "Waal now come to think on't , th'ain'fc much good in a blackb'ry lot. You carnt keep the pesky boys off of it to save yer life ! " "Ef you couldn't scare 'em off , I don't know who could , " said Miss Mahala , with a snap. "It's splendid land. You could plow 'em under , and raise 'most anythin' on it. I hain't had much time to bother with it , lately. HO it's laid there , and laid there. Tlnir's one or two ben askin' me 'bout it. " "Yuns yans ! " said Cyrus , and hitched in his chair. Miss Mahala sat silent , She felt sure of her man Cyrus pushed away his pinto , nid | moved back from the table. His wife began to clear off the dishes , " .Sposin' you struck n party thot wanted it , hoow much 'ud you take for it , did you nay ? " 1 didn't say , I asked how much you'd give mo for it. " Cyrus reached out his horny hand , and pulled n splinter from the broom that hung near. "Waal " his teeth now ) picking , tain't likely nnybuddy 'ud give you inoro'n n hundred dollaisfnr it. Would you sell for that ? " "Of course not , " unid Miss Mahala promptly , "it's worth jest double every cent of it. " "Thun " began Cyrus , and knit his brows. "It will bo u building lot some day , when the village grows. Then whoever owned it could git § 500 for it , easy. " said MinsMuhula. "Why don't you hold on low it , then ? " asked Cyrus , quickly. "Because I'd ruthor sell it now , " and Miss Mahala snapped the clasp of her old-fashioned reticule hanging on her arm. "I couldn't give § 200 fer it , no way at all. Would you take § 150 ? " "Call it 8175 , and it'a n bargain. John llaly 'ud jump nt it ef he could git it ut that price. " Cyrus threw down the broom splin ter and reached for another , "Remember , in a few yeat'a you may git § 500 for it ! " "I inought , and then again I moughtont , " said Cyrus , then , sud denly slapping his knee , "Waul call it a trade at 8175 ! Do ye want it ull to-day , cash down ? " "I don't want any cash at all. I'll rive you a dred o' the lot , an' $125 in cajh , besides , cf you'll tmdo me " Tlio conclusion of her sentence hat ; the cflbct of nn electrical shock on her auditor. "Thun yon don't menu it. What in kingdom bo you a thinkin' of , to take hole o' seech n rcosky piece o' property cz that , ' " 1 hain't afoared o' the resk , " Raid Miss Mahala , drawing forth n roll ol greenbacks from her roticulo. The bargain wasmado. They went to the squire's to have a deed made outami ns MissMahnla'sstilVstraight ti uro disappeared down the road , a crafty sniilo BWopt over Cyrus Dean's face , nnd ho slowly ejaculated : all-tho-tarnal - - fools on the face of the nirththe tarnalost is n womnii when she sets out to trans act biziness !
