But every one said lie was a good soul, and so he was. Jie had as good a hundred acre farm as anybody, with a new bouse and everything comfortable, anil if he had. wanted a jumped wife many the a good chance girl like would have at a rooster at a grasshopper. But Bill was so bash¬ ful—always Berry bottle, was—and when Susan that he was sweet on (though be never said “boo” to her) got married to old Wat.-on, lie just drawed in his head like a mud-turtle into a shell and there was no getting him out again, though it had been no¬ ticed that since Susan had become a widow he had paid more attention to ids dollies and had been very regular in his attendance at the church that the fair widow attended. ‘•tint here conies Ed.

Bill was certainly in splendid ed running costum, but though he strain¬ every nerve he could not touch the buggy dragging or reach the lines that were wliile on the ground. After a hi* plug hut shook off (he seat and the hind wheel went over it. mashing it as Hat as a pancake. Bill snatched it nx his'ran, and after j mi miug ids fist through if, stuck it, all dusty and dimpled, on his head. And now he saw the widow’s house on the hill, and what, oh, what would he do? Then his coat fell out and he slipped it on, then making a desperate spurt lie clutched the back of the seat and scrambled in, and pulling the heavy robe over hi- legs, stuffed the other things beneath. Now the horse happened to be one that lie got from Squire Moore, and lie got it from the widow, and he took it into his head to stop at her gate, which Bill had no power to prevent, as he had no possession of the reins, besides lit; was too btisv buttoning his eoat up to his chin to think of doing much else. The widow heart! the rat¬ tle of the wheels and looked out, and seeing that it was Mr. Smiley, and that he did not oiler to get out, she went to the gate to see what lie want¬ ed. and there she stood chatting, with white arms on the top of the gate, with her smiling face turned right to him, while the cold chills ran down his shirt less back clear to his bare feet beneath the hutliilo robe and the water from Ids hair and the du-t from his hat combined to make some nice little streams of mud that came trick¬ ling down Ids face. She asked him to come in. “No, he was in a hurry,’ lie said. did Still lie like- did not a-k oiler her to go! lie not not to to pick up the reins for him because lie did not know what excuse to make for not doing down so himself. Then he looked the road behind him and saw a white faced horse coming.am! at once surmising that it was that of (Jus Suck rider coming, he resolved to do or die. and hurriedly told his errand. The widow would he delighted to go, of course she would. But wouldn't lie come in. No, he was in a hurry he said; laid to go on to t he < J rev n place. ‘Dli,’ said tho widow, “you’re going to Mr. Green's are you? Why, I was just going there mysclfto gel one of the girls in help me quilt some, .lust wait a second while I get my bonnet and shawl and !*!! ride with you.’— And away siic kipped. “Thunder am! lightning!' said Bill, ‘what a sempe !* and he hastily ed his pants from between ids ■et. and prepared to wriggle into when a light wagon drawn by the white faced horse, driven by a hoy, '■note along and .-.lopped beside, him. The hoy held up a pair of hoots in one hand and the sock* in the other, and just as the widow iclicd tlu* gate again, he said : ‘Here’s yom bool-, and sicks, Mr. Smiley, that you 1**11 on the bridge w hen you was in swimming.* •You're mistaken, they are not mine.’ ‘Why. aic'iif you the man that had tiie rsu e after the horse just now ?’ “No ir. I .mi not you had better go on ahullt your business." Bill sighed at the lo.-s of his Sunday hoots, and turning to the widow said : xliisl pick up ihc lines, y, ip you please, this brute of a-hor.-c is fore\ or >w itch¬ ing them out of nn hand.* The wid¬ ow ( (implied, and then lie pulled one corner of Hie rope '“.mtioM-lv down and -he got in. “TV hat a lovely evening,' said she. ‘and so warm, I don't tGink we need the folre do we -a (You -( he TT dress and a pair oi to P and Avanied to show t hem) “(Hi my !' s;C r I Bill earn, v, ‘you 11 find it r- l ing, and wonld'nt have v = DJlfc - old for till the world.’ She seemed pleased at his tender care for her health, ti ml contented her¬ self with sticking one of her little feel out, with.a long silk necktie over one end *ff it. “’That is that Mr. Smiley, si neck¬ tie?’ ‘Ye I bought it the other dav and ntti-t have left it in the buggy, Nev cr mind it.’ •But it was so careless,’and -looping over she picked it up and made a motion to stlitf it between them.
