lW was always the biggest apple from the
finest tree in the orchard: the mcK luscious
grapes from the grapery found their way
to Sally’s desk; anil in the intervals of his,
possessing a penknife, young Master Ran
dall left no blunt peneil in S ws satchel.
Whew it became necessary that he should
be sent to a place of instruction biefittirig
his station in life, and the fiat had” goue
forth that the dear old days at the village
school should become part and parcel of
thep*st~, when he must bid gbod-by6 to
his romps in the new mown-.bay, his races
flriwihejroung colts in the ten aege field,
liisbefrying and picnicking, his ooisting
down! the glorious old hill; when he must
K t with his dog Lancer and his gun and
pony—above all Sally ft was a
heartrending dine. Whatever grown up
folks may think of these cliildt-h griefs,
they aie as tough to bear as the heavier
ones that coine later, and titey leave great
ugly scars that are sometimes only half
healed over. ' . ^ ”
When Will Randall cut Sally’s name and
hia own deep into the bark of the old iral-
nnt tree af the foot ot the lane, it seemed
to him that the kuifo went into his heart
with every, turn of the letters in her preci
ous name. Tears rolled out of his eyes in
spite of his manly endeavor to choke them
down; as for Sally, she had giveu way long
ago, and, with her sqn-bonnet tight down
over her face, was watering the grey old
moss at the foot of the tree with floods of
childish woe.
At last, H was done; there were the ini
tials linked together jl «p in the ragged
bark: the crimson light troin the western
sky shone full up. n each;aud all. Will put
his knife buck in his pocket with a click of
determination, gulped ba. k his tears at
once and for the last time, aud takiiig
Sully from tho ground, he smoothed back
her yellow locks, coaxing her into quiet
with the solemn promise of his loyalty
lie cefortli aud forever to the love between
them. He declared that the names linked
there upon the tree should never be sepa
rated while life remaiued in him, aud with
many a vow of fealty coined from the books
he had devoured among the lumber in the
garret, and simple plaints of love brought
up from the depths of his little swelling
heart, Will bade little Sally good-bye.
But alas lor the inexorable decrees of fate
aud fashion! Seven long j ears had passed
and gone since that last trying time, and

Now if she had only conien
ivith getting the rope atyl iiand ^
young squire, who stood 1 wkiting ' fit the
top ofthe steps^ all would well.
He had scarcely left Angelica’s side the
whole evening; he had whispered' lots ol
Ipretiy thing in her ears; he determined to
tap no hand but hers in the ring. If hire.
Crane had only handed him'ihe rope with
out a word; but she couldn’t'help'lt, poor
woman; it was the fault of destiny, as I
-'aid before. Something compell 'd her to
stand right at the foot of the stairs and
whisper;
k Keep right on, Sally, dear J-turn and
turn, like a good Ijftle lass.’
And sue might better have spoken aloud.
Her whisper was of that stentorian descrip
tion that it cut the air; it tell swoop upon
the ear of the young squire, and presently
he heard a sweet low voice in reply:
‘ Yes ma’am, I’ll attend to it nicely.’
He went back with a rope, in a daze. |\Vhat
was to be turned and‘turned, aiid who was
the turner? What Sally was it that own-
cd that sweet row voice? aud what sweet
low voice owned that dear name of Sally ?
Will Randall had been famous at sohool
aud college for solving problems; be never
would, in fact, leave one unsolved; aud
presently lie slipped awavfrom the rope
out of the room, and made las way direct
to the cellar door He opened it softly,
closed it carefully behind him .and went
slowly down the steps. Thu butPs eye of
the furnace glared at him as if the genius
of fire within was bent upon some spree of

a squeak, squeak, squeak, a little off in tlu-
u ^ j dim distance, and followed the mysterious

‘Good gntetous, marl’ said Angelica
Crane, to her overworked parent, at night
fall of a iiifiuorable day—a day that marked
the beginning of the young squire’s Christ*
inks 1 holidays at home, and every minute
of it crammed and crowded with labor for
-the entertainment in his honor at the Crane
homestead—’Good gracious! you ain’t
going to have some home-made cream, sure
ly ?’ The lady’s nose, which vu exceed
ingly retrousse already, was perched high
in the air with disdain. * If there’s anything
can’t abide,’ she said, * it’s frozen starch;

‘A prime new freezer!’ scornfully echoed
Angy. * You’ll want half a dozen of ’em!’

‘ And wlio’s going to hang over ’em ?’

a voice iu’the doorway.
‘Why, Sail y said Mrs. Crane, ‘you’ll

‘ Oil, I’d rather not,’ said the .voice, this
lido trembling a little. *T doh’t Oel fit for

little lovers had drifted far apart.
Young Master Randall went from one
place of instruction to another, till he
reached the tummum tmum of a veritable
college. Taking advantage of their son
and heir, the big folks at the hall went
abroad; the bouse was closed, and although
many on apple and bunch of grapes from the
old plaoe reached Sally, with the rest of the
villagers, she never cared to taste these
luxuries from strangers’ hands. Will spent
his holidays away, and Sally would not
even have heard the sound of his name had
it not been for the sojourn of Angelica
Crane at a boarding school near the college.
Perhaps Sally would rather not have heard
his name than thus from the lips of Angelica,
whose bump of reverence was small, and
who held the young squire pretty much as
she held ev rybody—important in the ra
tio that they "contributed to her own pleas
ure.
Tho acres of farmer Crane were broad
and wide, and outnumbered by many a
score those that belonged to the Romlall
family; it was whispered that even the
goodliest property of the old squire was
heavily mortgaged to tiie shrewd and fore
handed countryman, and that a match be
tween Miss Angelica and tiie young squire
vould not tie a bad thing for tiie latter
On the other hand, these plain folks at the
Crane homestead had spared go pains to
show their willingness to further .whatever
plans were made for the joining of. these
two goodly estates.
Angelica herself bad confided to Sally
that she had more strings to her bow than
one, but that she knew which she preferred,
and had often tortured the poor little maid
en, when during Angelica’s holidays they
had spent a night or two together, by
reading her, among other love-letters,
some productions from thu eloquent at«<
ardent pen of Will Randall, poor little
Sally’s perfidious lover. Long after An
gelica’s curl papers had ceased to rattle
upon the pillow,, tho soft silken rings of
Sally’s yellow hair were wet with tears ot
envy and girlish des, air.
But years went by, and old time softened
the bitterness of those holiday stabs by
hilling others of a more vivid and startling
diameter, when cares and griefs close at
hand crowded ahout her and . hemmed her
in', die became resigned to this oue among
the rest, and even talked with Angelica of
her loves and lovers with a coolness that
astonished herself There became a less
and less grievous similarity in the descrip
tion of the vonng squire to that sky, sweet
memory of Sally’s of long ago. He had
now. it appeared, an incipient mustacne,
his hands were white, he was more and
more “perfeotly splendid” with every fresh
confidence; and this brilliant figure left tbe
old stmpte, tender likeness all to itself in
Sally’s young heart, and it became dead
and buried like all the glad things of life,
along with her fiither, the schoolmaster,
and the pale young mother she could just
remember; and as she turned the ice cream
freezer* that night in the cellar of Farmer
Crane, not one thought o» jealous spite or
nvyofthe fair Angelica came into her
Ittle head.
She did listen to the music, and heard
the noise above, and: it was *a sort of nice,’
tlWK Crime had said; and at she tamed
one freezer after another, Sally became in
terested enough in her work to forget more
important trials close at hand.
It made the soul of the fanner’s wife
glad within her, when she went down to
Ikste the cream; to find it beginning to
be all that fancy, painted.
‘It’s prime,’ she said, smacking her lips
and holding the spoon to Sally’s pretty
month. “Jest taste it, and tell mo if that
ain’t fur ahead of Towzjr’s stuff in town.
It stauds to reason Sally; there’s real
cream in that ar—none o’ yer nasty skim-
min’s! Now keep right on, dear; be jest
as keorful as you kin, ’cause now’s the
resky time when the hull thing kin bo
sp’iled by a inite tf keerlessness. Jest
ing. He walked on tiptoe, passing many
a coat biu heaped to the top with coal; lit.-
locks brushed many a bam and tongue and
juicy bit' of bacon; lie saw many a hanging
shelf filled with Christmas cheer; it was fit
to soften the heart of this young sdiou of a
noble but impoverished <.ou.se. The squeak
ing noise.became more and more distinct.
He turned tho corner of a preserve closet,
and suddenly Juiktood still, because lie
couldn’t go on; fiis leet stopped, his pulse
almost ceased to beat; he saw something
tliat sent the blood flying to bis heart—
that perfidious yet faithful heart. He
saw' the slim little figure of a woman perch
ed upon an old broken hen-coop, her black
dress tucked up out of the water that es
caped from half 'U dozen freezers around
her, her light right hand turning one freez
er, her little left hand turning auothcr; her
soft silky yellow hair all puffed about her
pretty head—that yellow hair that would
match exactly with the exquisite color of
the one holding the place ot honor among
all his locks of hair; her swo.-t lips parted
with anxiety for tbe fate of the cream, as
they had partial long ago with a far deeper
and" warmer anxiety—those sweet, sweet
lips! Could it be? Oh, was it his own
little Sally—his one, only Sally, the pure
idol of his boyish love ? Oh, what diviue,
lapturous problem was this given him to
fve? :
Tliat pumping apparatus about his heari
began to work again with a will. He crept
around the preserve chest, between tin
freezers, and putting one hand upon SallyV
lip, with the other drew her close upon
his heart. rl .
‘Hush,darling,’ he whispered; ‘it is I—
Will—your own fiiithftil Will. Oh, Sally!
Sally!’
Her little falling head he caught in time,
and kissed her fainting lip of life. He said
more iu a ininnte to Sally, than he hail
whispered all the night above. He decide
her fine and Iiis own in the twinkling of in
eye, and unblushiugly believed lie was but
fulfilling all the vows of loug ago under the
walnut tree. As for Sally—shy, trembling
Sally—she was iu a rapture of bewilder
ment, of joy and bliss, that Is seldom

He walked over to the wagon, while. Wo
of the party started to a barkless old cotton
wood tree, where a lariat was thrown over a
projecting limb.
“ Dick Barnett,” said old Colonel Lvon,
“you’ve been caught in tbe net of stealing

Dick, while old man Lyon was speaking,:

His arms were belted down to his side. The

‘The cream is spoiled,* whispered Sally,
her big, loving, tearful, happy eyes upon

And, although that cream was certainly
lumpy aud a little soft, Will declared it th*
best he ever tasted, or wuuld taste for the
remainder of his life; and as the cream was
made for him. what did it matter ?
Angelica, haring plenty of strings to her
