Ab she drew hour to n nuinll liotino
which wns built well bnelt from the
rond Miss PrlKcllItt glanced at It with
protended Indifference. Then hIio
looked closer, stopped and looked
n gain.
"How Hhot tip Snm'l Clayton's Iioubo
do lookl Mubby Iio'h went away.
Mcbby Iio'h went west. Ho Mild bu
would of 1 didn't marry him. UuJ,
law me, tbnt wiih years nn yonr ntfo,

hlusolfl I wouldn't II vo on a byroud
for n liner farm 'n thin of Hayi'l's."
Kho tool: n few steps fuHijcr, then
stopped. There wau u determined look
on her face.
"It ain't proper for n lone wtiinmln
ter go ter the bonne of a lono man,
but I ain't colli' ter lop for that ner
notblii' else when thcy'H a piotpec' of
Bam'l Clayton belli' Hick with nobody
ter complain ter."
Hho walked briskly up tho lane
which led to tho little house, i'ho
blinds weru drawn and tho front gate
waH cloBcd. Tho barnyard gate bung
open, and tho chickens wandoretl
about tho dooryard disconsolately,
wlillo out lu tho shed tho cow lowed
piteously.
"No tellln when that cow'b bon
milked cr how long hIic'b ben shot up
without feed an' water. Homolhln'H
happened. I hope oh, I do hope It
nln't notliln' awful. HoiuTh 'bout tho
only friend I'vo got here'boutH, an' ef
ho wan ter dlo"
8ho had to wlpo tho tears from her
eyes before sho knocked,
There was no answer. I lor breath
came fast. She knocked again.
"Whet yo' want 7" The voice was
decidedly cross.
MIh.i rrlsellla opened the door can i
tlously. keeping her face turned away.
"tiam'l Clayton, lu they anything the I
mntter7" j
"NothluV ho answered grimly, 1
"'ecptln' I'm lint on my back an' ain't
able liir git up."
Tho door Hew open, and Miss I'rls
cilia entered.
"I know I ain't dohf tho proper thing,
Saut'l, no don't bo castlu' up notliln',
but My goodness, Snm'l, yo'ro. an
yitller as gold."
"That's comfortinVl'crcllly."
"Yo'vo got yaller JanderH, I reckon. 1
don't blumo yo' nono for not wnntln'
ter. git up. When 1 had 'em, 1 couldn't
turn over In bed."
"I do want ter git up, but I can't,
I'crcllly."
"Don't yo' ho cross, Snm'l. They nln't
no cnll fir It. I'm uorry for yo', awful
tmrry, an, though It ain't the thing, I'm
golu' ter ntny hero an' red things up
some. Then I'll git word to yor brother
Robert. Air yo' thirsty, StunM?"
Ho nodded.
"An' hungry?"
Ho put out his tonguo nt her mid
made u wry face.
"No: I reckon yo' nln't hungry, but
!yo'ro weak for Homcthln' ter eat, an'
yo'll git It right noon."
, She went Into tho kitchen, and Sunlit
el heard her muttering and talking to
hcrtiolf. She put her head In ut the
door.
"Is that glass there on tho tablo the
only ouo yo've got, Sum'IV"
"I'm tho only one ter use a glass, I'er
'cllly, an' I never bev cump'ny."
"What's It got In It anyhow?",
"dinger ten. i'crcllly," '
Miss I'rlscllln picked the glass up and
studied of the contents,
"Phfowl Hakes alive. 1 s'poso yo'
fixed It?"
Miss I'rlscllln disappeared, taking tho
gliiKs with her. She noon returned with
n glues of Hparkllug cold water.
MIhh PrlHcllln straightened tho sheet,
put dean eases on the pillows, opened
the window and put the room lu order.
Samuel s face brightened uh bo watch
ed her.
"(ot anything 'bout the houso ter eat,
Bonn?" she asked presently.
"Things as spile easy Is liaugln' In
tho well, nn' the rest of tho things Is In
the cellar, Perellly."
Miss PrUcllhi fed the chickens,
milked the eow mid turned her Into
the pasture. When she returned, she
put the milk uwuy, then entered the
room again, bringing u cup of hot
broth.
"It ain't cooked 'nough, Snin'l. but It
won't do (cr yo' to go any longer with
n iinnty stummlck. Hut some."
She propped him up lu bed, and he

"I don't doubt that, Kam'l. Yo'ro tho

"It nln't my fault us I'm my own

HWcrcdMgulllcnutly.
She Hushed red.
"Well, 1 ho plain ns I'll hov to go

"My. but vo' nlr b'hlnd the. times!

"Thcy's other nnybers, Snm'l," aha
snapped.
All tho rest of tho Ooy she watched
for n passing vehicle that she might
ball Its occupant and send for soinoonu
to look after Samuel. Townid evening
she grew uneasy, Sho bad refused to
talk to Sniuuel for poiiio tlule, as hu
iwoiild talk of personal matters, but
timv'atin Iiirmi1 in.lilm n tivlmiultr ? ,
.Hmiu'I, I can't btnr tor leave yo' by

"I gueis I won't dlo of yo'ro anxious

"I uln't anxious ter go, an' yo know
It."
"Then stay nn' let folks tnlk of they
want trr."
"I cnti't 'ford ter do that, Snm'l."
Then there was another long si
lence. Miss Prlicllln looked down the
road anxiously, Anally going down to
tho gale to sue If shu could get a
glimpse of any one.
"He might git worse In the night,"
sho murmured to herself. "I never
was so put out lu all my life."
Hiimuel looked Into her eyes as sho
camo In.
"Sec anybody?" he asked.
She shook.her head.
"Perellly, w'y, say, do yo' 'member
what 1 asked yo' oiict?"
- She made no reply and looked steadi
ly down the road.
"Well," ho went on, "them's still my
fcellnV
She shaded her eyes ns If to see hot
ter ami did not nuswer,
"W'y, Perellly, sny, of I'm not dead
by mornlu', won't yo' hook up old Kit
to the buggy nn' drive over for the
preacher nn' fetch him over an' bev '1m
marry yo' an me?"
Miss Prlncllln sprang to her feet. Her
face was crimson with anger.
"Ham'l Clayton, ain't yo' 'shamed ter
Insult mo hi yo'r own house? Do yo'
think thnt'B what I come over here for?
Sliainu on yo'I"
And, covering her face, she burst
Into tears.
"Ker tho Lord's sake, 'Cllly, now
don't do that. I wouldn't 'a' made yo'

'bout It. I'm lovln' yo' nil this time,

Miss Prisellla wiped her eyes and 1
looked at lilui.
"That broth made yo' n heap better,
didn't It, Ham'l?"
"A heap bettor," ho nnswered smil
ingly. "Well, yo'ro well 'nough ter leave by

"Tho 'xcltement of ycr coin uwuy

"Anyhow I'm goln', Snm'l."
"Yo' ain't give mo no answer to that

"I'm golu' homo an' do the mllkln' an'

"Do yo' menu yo'ro goln' tor bev me, ,

"I reckon 1 do," hIio answered, linger

'"Cllly, they'H ono thing I wlsht yo'd

Ho looked at her wistfully. 1
"More beef tea, Sain'l?" sho iiNked,
but thuro was n twinkle In her eyes.
"Yo know better soinethln' I asked

Shu hejltatrd for an Instant, then
leaned over mid kissed him.
'Wointtii'it Sonne of Humor,
It certainly seems that lu much of
the humor of women there Is a trait
closely allied to tho retort courteous, as
shown, for Instance, lu tho following
citations, it was a woman who, en re-
vancho and with gontlu satire, said, "1
am sorry for man; Just at that awk
ward age between the apo and tho an
gel." Another woman It was who re
marked after rending the Curly lo let
ters, "Yen, It Is true; Mrs. Carlylo was
u martyr, hut hIio wasn't u good mar
tyr, or wod never have heard of It."
Hotter known Is the anecdote of tho
learned mid fustldlotiB Now Kiigland
woman who, being In need of a pin.
was asked by a friend, who was some
what lu nwo or her, what kind of pin
sho wanted and hit oft tho situation
wittily with her Indignant reply, "TJio
common while pin of North America."
In all these Instances one may discern
something of "thu look downward." It
would be Interesting to know If this
Is elinriictcrlstlu of thu humor of thu
box. Cuntury.

I was expecting a letter nt n Dakota

"Sure you're tho mnn?" hu nsked.
"Of course."
"Willing to mako ntlldnvlt to It?"
"I am."
"Not after nny ouo else's letters?"
"No, sir."
"Willing to swenr mid sign your

"A vindication?" echoed Senator Sor-

Original.
Krnsst Trevor was pacing back and
forth nervously lu his ofllee. He had
bought stocks by depositing with a
broker 10 per cent of their value, and
as thoyiiad declined 10 per cent ho hnd
been called upon for another 10 per
cent. If It were not forthcoming, the
Mocks would bu sold, and bo would not
got tho bcnellt.of n subsequent rise Hint
would probably occur. In fact, ho
would be ruined.
Trevor was engaged to the daughter
of n wealthy man who had given his
consent to the marriage on Trevor's
representation that ho was worth .$100,
000. This was true at tho time the rep
resentation was uiiide, but Trevor, hav
ing been caught In the decline of stocks,
was now worth nothing. Nevertheless,
ns ho had no more funds, he wrote n
note to his luoker to that effect and
consenting to the sale of his security.
This ho did with a heavy heart since he
considered It equivalent to the breaking
of his engagement.
He was sealing the nolo when a mes
senger entered with a communication
from the cashier of tho bank where he
kept his funds. Ho sighed as ho tore
off tho envelope, knowing that bin u
count wan overdrawn and expecting a
notlllcatlnn to that effect. To his aston
ishment the note read as follows:
Wo liava to notify you that tho sum of
,20,000 lias liccn placed to your credit In
thlo bank.
Mr. Trevor's emotions may bo better
Imagined than described. Wan It a mis
take of the bank? Had tho wrdng per
son been notified? He stepped to tho
telephone mid called up the cashier.
"Who plnced $20,000 to my credit?'
housked.
"Hold the wire."
In it few minutes camo tho reply,
"Tho chuck was payable to Martin
Copoland, who made It payable to
you
"You luivo made a mistake. I
don't
know such a man. Who Is he?"
There was another request to hold
tho who, and In llvo minutes tho Infor
mation ciiiim) that tho bank did not
know Mr. (..'opihiiid mid had no occa
sion to know him since the check had
, been cert I lied by a bank thnt wiih per
fectly good. This meant that the bank,
mid not Mr. Copeland, wns responsible.
"Thnnk you. doodby."
Some one must have blundered. The
money could not possibly come' from
any friend, for there wns no one among
those devoted to Trevor who could or
would risk cucli mi amount for friend
ship. Nevertheless, since he had honor
ably untitled tho bank of the probable
error, he hud done nil that could bu ex
pected of him mid, with plenty of
,nom.y to j,lf) t.rcrtt ,lltl not ,n.0,,oso (0 0
u,t fortune slip through his fingers, h
n0 toro ,u, ti,0 oto i1L. im,i written to
his broker and wrote another, Including
u check for ?3,000. Ho stayed In his
0mco till ti o'clock
, expecting to get n
notice from the broker that the bank
hud after all refused payment, but no
notice came, nor did any ever come.
Later ho was obliged to send another
chock for margins for $.",000, which
wiih also paid. When the- market
turned, Trevor plunged on the remain
ing $10,000 to his credit, mid hi the end
ho not only regained what ho had lost,
hut trebled It, Ho then s nt n cheek
for if'JO.OOO to his bank for Martin
Copcland, usklug the cashier to let him
know what been mo of It. Ho wiih In
formed that his cheek had been wruit lj
thu bank on which the original check
to 1x1 in had been drawn and had not
been returned. It wns supposed that
Mr. Copeluud had received It.
Tho evening after Trevor had sent
the check to Mr. Copcland ho called
at the house of IiIb llaneee. Miss
Uleanor Huckley, to take her to the
opera. He lound Mr. Huckley nnd his
duughter standing over n number of
neekhices, brucelets mid other orna
ments from which tho gems had been
extracted mid were missing. There wns
n scowl on tho father's face, mid the
daughter was evidently troubled. Tre
vor was Informed that Mr. Huckley,
noticing Unit his daughter was going
out without her Jewels, had asked
where they were. The result was the
production of a good deal of gold, but
no Jewels. For this she gave no ex
planation.
At this Juncture u servant entered
mid handed Miss Huckley u package.
Shu opened It and displayed the inkl
ing gems.
"How's this?" exclaimed Mr. Huck
ley. "Thobo arc tho Identical Jewels
on which I recently lent S'JO.OOO. Tho
reipiest for a loan camo while stocks
were tumbling, and, though I don't
lend on Jewels, at that time they were
belter than any securities olTorlug.'
Thu secret was out. Miss Huckley,
knowing that her lover was in llnanelnl
difficulty, hud sent her Jewels to her
father through an neuuulutniico whom
neither know and placed tho money
borrowed on them to Trevor's credit.
Mr. Hueklc frowned. Ho had heard
that Trevor was a loser lu stocks and
feared that his fortune hud disap
peared.
"My consent," ho said, "wn gained
on condition of your being worth a
certain amount.
"Thanks to the loveliest girl In the
world, 1 am worth threo times that
amount. Had tho check not been forth-
coming I would huvo been rubied."
This wns nn argument the capital
ist could understand, mid his frown
turned Into u smile. Colng to hH
daughter, he kissed her ull'octlonntcly
uud grasped 'lrevor by tho band.
Miss Huekliy went to tho opera with-
out her Jew t Is, but she was told so
often during the evening that she was
herself the most precious Jewel In the
world hnt ihls didn't matter. After
i no opera, wneii uiey were a lone, her
Mover gave hur a kiss for every Jewel
hu had hypothecated, repeating the
