Salr 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 ffl 'TO!) ‘Fun!’ .ecLoed thi ‘Wa’al, it’s a mean kind of fnn,' and it’d Servb her rigltlif she came out the little]* end’o’-the. hom yet. : Bat we’ll take kcer o’ the cream, jvou , t we.Sally? , wan»ly. ‘Just turn uid turn, you know,’ said the poor womin, and went up .the"cellar steps, not knokipg tkaV^stiny nad some' of W pty-h to, d° tliat_nighL and had ruthleswy cliaton th'0. tanner’s wife fqf the agent of her own uvicomplture.

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.

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.
