THE WEEKLY GWINNETT HERALD.
-d LUCKY LEG ACT.
Young lom Col line, a law stu
dent, has just come into a stiange
inheri.ance. He sat solitary in
His little boarding-house room
trying to realize.
“If the poor child hadn’t me,”
he said to himself, “It could go
and apply for admission to some
institution. If I hadn’t it, I coul 1
—pshaw! that is not the idea. I
must decide what I am to do.”
Tom had solemnly promised to
care for the new-born baba cf his
only sister, who had just died.
Tom wai interrupted by a knock
°** the door. It was followed by
u cry of mingled entreaty and oom
mand, s ich as only hungry babes
know how to emit.
“I’ve fetched <he pot r little dear
around, sir,” said the nurse, bran
dishing her charge. There! there!
th re! It’s got the wind tnis min
ute, inixin’ milk. H ivr you so rnd
a nurse, sir ? And baby wants
clothes.”
She dropped her shrieking
charge upon Tom’s bed and start
ed towards the door.
“Oh! oh!” gasped Tom. “Do
not go! In the name of mercy,do
not! Why do yen say I want a
nurse? Are you noi one
“I am, sir,” she said, turning
confident lal’y to Torn. “ *a month
ty.’ lam wilting to stay with
you while I can. Bu/, sir, my
summons may come auy day or
hour. It is impossible to ca'cu
late. /’il wotk for you while I
can, sir, but when my call comes
no earthly thing can keep me,”
“Can you,” said Tom, looking
gloomily at his now silent prize on
the bed, “can you give me any ad
vice ?”
Mrs. Primmius placed her arms
akimbo.
Tom ftivently prayed for light
on the meditations.
“I have i',” cried Mrs Piirn
mins. “Ma'vioy’s got to take it.”
“Bless your dear soul!” respond
ed Tom. “Mai viny’s the very one
What a talent you have for manag
ing, auntie dear.”
There was l oru, his dear self ,
He had hit on exactly tie righ,
compliment to pay ihe old nurse
/7e was actually floating through
ife n this instinct he had for say
ing the most pleasaut thing io 67
ery body. Mrs Primmins of ah
things desired the reputation of a
m inceuveier, as it was, of course,
the one of all others she did not
desetve.
“Yes,” she cried, chuckling, “I
can manage. Let me alone! And
he first thing in the morning I’L
go there with you. Now,” said
she, seizing Ler charge, who was
beginning to squirm, “now I’ll see
what’s to be got out of your land
ludy
Winking violently witli first one
eye and then the other, she start
ed to go; then, with a sudden so
lemnity, she re-inserted her head
iu the door-way.
“If t’m summoned," shs said,
“it’s above all else. If I’m called
I must go. day or night. ’
“Certainly,” said Tom, much
puzzled,“but you won’t be auntie!’
As the young man walked abroa 1
io get his dinner he felt impress
ed with an almost uaysterius awe
of the oH nurse.
“To thiuk of living always with
death grinn.ng one in the face like
that," he muttered.
Iu the night Tom’s dream o*
peace was again dispelled.
Another knock at the door.
“Am I under a ban ?” growled
Tom, “whai’s the maber tow ?”
Tin cubed, ’’said the voice of
Mrs. Primming. “My summons
has come!’ |
“Oh, the deuce!" cried Tom.losl
o all seme of the importance of
conciliating the nurse. “Go to
hod, bold on till morning!”
In the morning Tom. who, hap
py fellow, always slept soundest
under a sense of depression, did
n il make his appearance until nine
o clod . //e found that Mrs Piirn
uiings had actually disapp. arid for
parts unknown. In the aims of
his hitherto stern landlady he
lound his charge nestling. Anew
light—that of 1 >ve —wai beaming
ing in the solemn woman’s eye—
that worn in, thought Tom, v 110
could see any of her boarders
, tut ve and iOt fer <eu cents, saved.
Lawrenceville Georgia, Tuesday December 9 1881
“1 l ave undertaken,” said the
landlady, giving Tom a smile such
as he hid never di earned cculd
rest in her feat urea—“l have un
dertaken to go wiih yon in search
of Mrs. Primrr.ins’ niece, Malviny.'
Several hoots later 7\,m Col
lins sprang from a light wagon in
which he bad driven to the door
of a pre ty cottage.
“We will make one last effort by
inquiring here,” he said to his land
lady, who held the baby.
With his usual impetuosity he
pushed directly through into the
rear kichtn. /'here he forgot his
errand—forgo) everything except
what Ire saw. A young girl, neat
plump and rosy, s‘ood with round
arms bared before a table. She
was assiduously occupied in cares
sing wiih white hands little lumps
of dough into shape.
Suddenly she turned. Such a
dimpling smile! Such rosy em
barrassment Tom, great blach
uaired, jetty eyed giant that he
was, thought this litt'e plump
blonde an aogeL T 1 ought ! why,
he was sure of if!
After a while he came to his
senses and said :
“I’m looking for one Malvina
Barker.”
'‘And that is me," said the rosy
lips
“Then I’ve broagbt you a baby,”
he said abruptly.
A good deal of astonishment can
be put into a pair of bright bine
eyes without spoiling them—and
so there was. Fort unutely, at
that point the landlady appeared
and so, a moment later, did Mal
vina’s mother, called up from the
cellar by the voices.
Negotiations were soon complet
ed.
Tom, again ir his little room,
found it the loneliest, dreariest
place ne had ever in his life looked
upon.
A coupel of days later he con
cluded that it would be inhuman
Lot to go and enquire after his
little charge. In an incredibly
short time he was seized with the
same impression again. Then h e
went to take io baby, who bad not
yet learned that tus moon is more
distant than the doorknob, a box
of geoprafhicul blocks. Ttien he
went to enquire if it needed pock
et money; and he told Malvina
that he knew she was not kept
awake nights with it, because her
eyes were so bright.
After tea the moo* came out.
Oh. that wicked, shameless mcoJ
Tom by its light, to d Malvina
right out tha her eyes w re blusr
than heaven—her lips sweeter than
roses—and all t hat.
When they parted Malvina wen
to her room and cried.
JFhat could a perfect king of a
man mean by talking like that to
her? Of course he could not
mean to marry a little school
mistress only home on a vaca
tion?
Tom acted queerly, too, when
alone in his room. He took a pa
per and pencil, and figured and
calculated. He made a list of all
the little properties he possessed.
He added them ap and he added
them down. Tuen be set down a
list of all the tlrngs he was accus -
touted to speud money upon that
could be dispensed with. Then he
brought out a book on economy,
where it tells how a man can five
cheaper with a frugal wife than he
can alone. He was astonished to
find that beok so intensely interest
in« !
The next day Tom went again
to see the brby, In fact, it had
seemed to him as though the after
noon would never come. He had
more waiting to do at the cottage
for A/alvina’s mother received
himand she did not appear. At
last his imj atience spured him to
ask.
“I don't want you to see her
again, youug man. I will be frank
with you nud tell the truth.’’
“Ob, Mrs. Barker," cried Tom.
•‘She s a simple child sir and is
in danger not to undeistaud that
attentions from one like you can
urn m notning."
“Dear Mrs. Barker, you misun
derstand me entirely I must see
her this t uce, I must,indeed. If
alie sends me away I will never
come again.
