-Will F. McHparrcn In Ynnkeo Illade,
A MEAN TRICK.
IIo had often tried to propose to her,
but sho was such u very fllppnnt young
person that ho found It herculean to ro
duco her to a sufficiently serious frutue
of mind. Then, too, ho was by no means
certain as to her feelings toward himself.
Somo deflnlto assurance cither way
would, he folt, hnvo been gratoful, al
though it is snfo to nfllrm thnt had such
ssflurnuco been unfavorable to his hopes
ho would nono tho less hnvo been anxious
for further information.
However, ho wns denied tho t ntisfne
tion of oven well grounded suspicion.
Sho had such n bnflling sort of manner.
Novor had ho been nblo to Rurprioo her
into nn admission of anything, however
trifling, which might bo taken as an in
dication that ho aroused within her emo
tions of any kind whatever. It was cer
tainly very difficult to know what to do.
Many times had ho almost taken ad-
vantago of a momentary silenco on her
part. Times without number had ho
nearly clasped Iter in his arms as sho
pirouetted past him, but sho was too
quick for him, Tho boldest effort on
his part had been mado ono evening aft
er ho had brought a friend to call upon
her. Minna, Bob nud tho friend had all
aat in tho kitchen and pulled taffy.
Next evening Bob said sheepishly:
"Do you know, Minna, what Ikey was
tollin mo last night?"
"How could I know without you told
me?" returned Minna, with spirit. She
was washing dishes, and sho clattered
them in tho pan.
"Ho was asking mo if I was going U
marry you." ,
"And what did you tell htmV"
"Told him I didn't know."
"That was right," said Minna, swirling
tho dishcloth around.
"And ho ho said I was a durncd fool
If I didn't."
Minna went off into peals of laughter.
Then sho sobered up.
"Didn't what?"
"Didn't marry you."
"So you would be If you got tho
chancel" was tho prompt reply.
"That's what I told him if I got the
cbanco, but I can't get tho chance, de
jectedly. "What right had you to tell him you
couldn't get tho chance?"
'Cause you ain't over give it to mo."
"No, nn I never will," returned Miona,
with emphasis.
"Jea' what I thought," sold Bob dis
mally. "Guess I'd better go."
"Guess ye had," remarked his hostess
hospitably. As sho spoke she wiped out
the dlshpan and hung it up on a nail bo-'
hind. "If I was you, I'd learn a few
tilings before I came courtin."
"But you're it big sight clevcr'n me,"
answered Bob meekly.
"That's so," said Minna laconically
as Bob passed dejected out of the kitchen
door.
On thinking over the interview on the
way home, Bob thought that on the
whole he bad not made much progress,
A few days later hope returned, bright
eyed and smiling, and Bob determined
to make another attempt to secure the
elusive Minna. In the soft dusk of the
early summer evening he went thought
fully across the field toward her father's
cottage, now softened of its daytlmo an'
gulariUes and, to Bob's imagination,
nestling confidingly In the trees.
"House ain't much like Minna," ho re
flected sadly. "Wisht I could think on
some way tocotch her."
Ashe walked, crushing down the moist
grass, ho revolved a dozen schemes in his
mind, all of which bad sooner or later
to be dismissed as impracticable in view
of tho uncertain nature of the damsel in
question. If he could only be sure of
how Minna would take anything.. But
he never could be. She was as wayward
as the summer breeze.
Suddenly, in the midst of his pander
ing, an idea came to him a heaven sent
inspiration,, so beautiful, so clever, that
the cunning little god himself must have
been hiding in a bluebell along his path'
Bob gave an emphatic clap to his leg,
and the listening Cupid might have heac 1
a short chuckle, followed by a delight!
exclamation.
"Gosh! But that'lldoitrastho woo r
sped along his path. Minna herself nut
Bob at the door and gave him a chair
outs'.de beneath a fragrant honeysuckle.
Sho eat down near him on the doorstep
nd leaned her head against thecal
rnent. She looked very pretty, her bla .V
eyes darken! t g tho llj and her face pale
in tno utiMcy twilight, her linlr curling
in moist littlo ends around her smnll
face. Bob .looked nt hef, and his heart,
failed Him. But ho remembered a cer
tain i Thomas Anderson, who report
said had loitered beneath the honey-
micklo for the last few nights,! sad
brought back his coring courage.
-xney wux talking about you lost
night down at tho pump," he remarked,
with assumed cheerfulness.
"Tulkln about mo?" said Minna angri
ly. "How dared they?"
"Oh, Lord!" gasped Bob to himself.
"If sho gets mad before I begin 1"
"They wua sayin sayin"
"Welir sharply, "what wui they eay
tar "They wux sayin how aa you'd never
marry nny one you wui that uncertain
llko and filghtylike."
"Who said Mint?" said-Minna,- turning
wrathful eyes upon him. -
"I don't exactly remember," faltered
Bob.
"Most likely yourself," disdainfully.
Bob could not truthfully disown the
remark, as ho had made it frequently, in
confidence, to his near companions in
tho villugo. So, after this unexpected
home thrust, ho remained uncomfortably
silont.
Minna pursued her advantngo,
"Nico doings them, fur a man I" sho
went on contemptuously. "Talking
about girls when they can't talk back
for themselves!"
If tho reported conversation had not
been wholly imaginary, Bob would have
been stricken with remorse. As it wns,
however, although inwardly trembling
ho saw nn opening nud took it,
"But I spoko back for you, Minna, 1
did."
"Oh, you did, did you?" was tho dis
couraging comment. "Slnco it wuzyou
said tho worst, seems to mo it wus all
you could do."
"They said a lot moro'n 1 did," Bob
continued,with flctitiouscournge. "They
said ns how I needn't bo hangin around
here, fur yo'd alius scorn mo till tho
jodgment and not marry mo nt till."
"Thcro wnz Mime truth in their ro
marks," rennirke" Mlntm snubbingly.
"But thoro's wttsser nor thnt," ho said,
with well forced gloomineiu. "I said as
how I knowed Jou would many mo"
"Who mado yon so wise?" interrupted
Minna sarcastically.
"An n man bet mo you wouldn't, an
an I bet him you would."
"Beasts!" ejnculatcd the much in
censed .Minna.
"An I hot a fearful lot. Minna. Gosh!
I'm scared to think of it. If I got to
givo him all that money, tho farxri nil
hnvo to go euro."
Minna looked frightened.
"How much?" sho usked faintly.
"Wonder how much sho'll stand?" Bob
asked himself perplexedly. Then ho
glanced nthcr tentatively.
"I'm most nf cared to tell yon. It's
it's gosh! Minna it's $100.
"Oh, myl" ejaculated Minna. "You
never did."
"A hundred dollars!" repeated TS6b
chokingly, and overcome by tho feelings
be had aroused ho buried his head in his
hands. From this safe retreat he con
tinued disjointed remarks broken by
emotion.
"Don't caro for myself. (Sigh.) I dou't
want to llvo anyway, but tho farm'll
havoto go sure, urid poor mother and
father." (Sob.)
"uu, no, no," saiu .Minna tearfully. '
"They'roold now.to start over agin'
(a protracted sign), but 1 kin work for
em. I'll do it" nud Bob's shoulders
shook with nobly suppressed emotion
"it u'll como hard to loso tho old place
now (sob) after nil them years."
"Oh, don't, don't, don't, Bob! 1 can't
bear It!" gasped Slinna, choking down
Mio tears. "I'll I'll"
Bob waited n moment. Then he went
on:
"Poor sister can't goto school or noth
ing," rocklug himself to and fro in ap
parent deep grief, "an thcro's no wood
got for the winter" hero he wopt aloud,
and seeing this Minna, too, wept aloud.
"Oh, Bob," sho cried, "how could you
be so so" and she burst again iuto
tears.
"Dunno, Minna," he said in a choking
voice, "but there ain't no help for it
now. It'a all got to go farm an all."
"Never!" said Minna hysterically, 'tl
will marry you I will!"
" 'Tain't right to ask you," Bob eaid
sadly and hypocritically. "Ybn don't
caro nothin about me."
"I didn't afore," said Minna tcarfull?
and shamefacedly, "but that was an aw
ful lot of money to bet on me. I likeyou
for it, Bob, I do!"
"An you will marry me?"
She nodded.
"Thank you, Minna," Bob said mourn
fully. "It's awfully good in you."
A moment elapsed beforo ho started on
the real business of courtiliip--he had to
proceed carefully and in that moment
Bob looked up at a very jester of a twin
kling star nnd silently exchanged with
it knowing and prodigious wink.
