O NLY two dollars!” sai l Hetty Hawkin, looking doubtfully at the ragged and crumpled piece of currency in her hand. “Well, that's enough, isn’t it?” shortly retorted Selina, her young cr sister. “Five dollars was all the eggs and poultry fetched, ai.d I’ve got to h ive three for the new waut to my red paramatta gound. Mis’ ilawley’ll make it for a peck o’ dried peaches r.nd a stone cr jck o’ June butter,” “Yes," exultantly crackled Josy. the smallest and Bauoiest of n'1, ‘‘you’ll buy it, an’ Ilanner Haw* ley'll make it, and between you both you'll makeatry for Matthew Billings and the old Billings’ home stead! But I guess you'll find it no go!" “Josephine, hold your tongue," said Miss Hawkins, severely, “and wash them dishes) Somebody’s cracked the blue vegetable platter! Mind you’re careful now!” Josey giggled, winked at gravo Hetty, and clinked the dishes to. gather with ominous vehemence. “I wish I was growod up,” grum bled she. “Sb-sh ah!” said Selina, tartly. “Mat Billings ain't so very young,” went on Josy, “nor he ain’t so very handsome, but he's got a nice farm, and money at interest, and there’s more’n one girl ir. New Cardamon would jump at the chance of him' I say, Selina, can me an' Hetty come an’ live witli you when you move into the Bil lings farmhous.?" Selina gave her audacious young sisler a glance which might have blighted a hill of growing corn,and stalked in a state'y manner from the room. Hetty still stood g zing at the crumpled bilk Josey flirted the dishwater from her wet, red fingers and pirouetted across the room to peep over Het ty’s shoulo ■'% “Mean thing!" said she. “Is that all she’s allowed you for your dress? And out of your own earnings,too.”' “There’s some real cheap cash meres at Popham’s,” said Hetty, meekly, “at fifty cents a yard. Eight yards will do very well. I had sort o’ laid out for a Henery- etta, but I guess the cashmere’ll ha re to do." “It’s a shame 1 ” cried Josey— “yes, a shame! Selina takes the best of everything and the most of everything, and you always go to the wall, She talks as if you were a hundred years old, and, after all, you’re only three years older’n she is. I’ll tell you what,Hetty,” with a sudden hug of the slim calico- cla 1 form, “if ycu’ll wait till I'm sixteen—and that’s only a year— I’ll marry old Mat Billings myself, and make the nicest kind of ahoine for you. I’m tired of seeing vou put upon like this—yes, I am!” Hetty strove not to smile. “Josey.” said she, “little girls oughtn’t to talk about getting’ mar ried. ’Tain’t proper.” Josey w nt back to her work with a pout. “Old girls hadn’t ought to, nei. tlier,” said she, un !er her breath. “Poor Hetty! it must be awful to be an old maid! Oh, Hetty, I say' can’t I go to New Cardamom with you? 1 want a slate pencil and a yard of pin : ribbon and four bone wttons.” “No, child,” dej tedly nttere l He tj, s«h« went oat to tl» mud- i *} W old 1‘Selinais go ing with me today.” “Selina, Selina—always Selinal” muttered Josey, returning in a dig contented fashion to her work, and banging the door so loud that the gray eat on the hearth staited from her dreams. The three Hawkins sisters lived alene on the old farm. Hetty kept heuso, Selina taught district school, and Josey swept the kitch en, drove the turkeys home, and rsad crumpled novels in tho garret window, and year by year the house grew- older, the farm stonier and more rocky, and two spinsters gaunter ond more melancholy- looking. Selina, however, still hoisted tho signal of youth In the shape of cherryvolvet bows upon her hat; but Hetty had long since relapsed into sober black. “I don’t suppose the good Lord meant us, any of us, ever to give quite up,” said Hetty to herself, but sometimes it does seem ns if there wasn't much left tc^ look for'ard to but being sold out for taxes, and arter that, rheumatism and the poorhouse!” In front of Popham’s red-brick store there was a goodly array of plaid shawls, flapping in the wind, piles of all-wool goods, and tempt ing ribbons and laces in the win dow. Miss Selina got out and went in “You’d better hold tho horse till [ come hack, Hetty,” said shn,“ and then you can take your turn!" Hetty sat still and looked around. To her the village street was equal to tho Champs Elysees in Paris or Broadway in New York at its full tide of.gaiety. She held the knock-kneed eld horse tight lest he should shy at the fluttering shawls; she winked to keep the occasional snowflakes out of hsr eyes,and shivered slight ly in the wind. Just then a little boy came down the street carrying a gay china jardiniere with a still artificial chrysanthemum growing out of it. “Why Billy Powis, is that you?” said Miss Hetty. “I didn’t scarce ly know you at first.” The child laughed. “Yes, it’s me, Mis* Hawkins,” said he. “I’ve got a place in Richardses store.” “Well, I’m glad o’ that,” said Hetty. “It’s a great help to your mother, 1 calculate,” Billy laughed again, and nodded; but at that same moment he caught the too of his ragged shoe iu a pro jecting Wrick of tho primitive pavement, stumbled and fell, scat tering the china ornament in a score of glittering splinters. He broke into a howl of dismay. “I'll lose my place if I don’t pay for’t,” wailed he, “an’ I ain't got a cent saved up! Oh, dear—oh, dear! what shall I do- I’ll lose my place! I cracked a cheeny bowl this mornin’ an’ they won’t have no patience with me!” Hetty leaned eagcily forward, the wind fluttering her scanty cape, the tip of her nose empurpled with the cold. “How much is it. Billy?” asked she. ‘Two-o-o dollars!” Billy ’ament- ed himself. “Oh. dear—oh, dear! I’ll lose my place!" Tears streamed down his half ■frozen cheeks as he stood shiver ing on the pavement; he trembled all over. diew out the crumpled two-dollar bill. “Here, Billy,” she whispered, ‘‘take tkis. And, mind you, don’t toil nobody.” “Ma’am!” The convulsive sobs ceased: Bil. ly stood staring at Hetty lIawkin M as if she had Ween an angel from heaven, and holding the bill in one hand with a desperate grasp. “Not eron Selina—nor Jo’,e- phine,” added Hetty. “But it Would he such an awful pity for you to lose your place.” Invol untunly she chirped to tho o!d horse to escape Billy’s tumult of incoherent thanks; but at that identical moment Miss Selina came hurrying out. “Hetty,” said she, “there’s a lovely remnant of red paramatta in there, for only five dollars. If you’ll lend mo your money, just for a week, I can secure the bar gain now. Quick! Mis’ Deacon Blusedgc is lookin at it this min ute. The cheapest tiling you over saw in your life.” “I—I can’t’” she muttered. “Hetty/” “No, 1 can't!’, faltered the peor woman, in an agony of confusion and embarrassment. “Where’s your moitaJW” stonily demanded Selini “I—don’t—know,’, almost in- audibly. “You hain't—lost it? Yes, 1 swan to gracious you have!” al. most screamed Selina. Hetty drooped her brow, and said nothing; but the torrent of Selina’s unbridled wrath broke a'l the lame on her devoted head. “There goes the bargain!” be wailed Selina; “and all through your mi.s'ablc caiolessnesi. I should think you’d bo ashamed of yourself. Drive on, Hetty. Don’t you see yoa’re in the way of every body here?” Once again Hetty clicked her tongue to the old horse, nnd shoos the reins, but so awkwurd was tho nervous action that her off wheel became locked in those of another wagon, and, as a necessary illustra tion of the survival of the fittest, Miss Hetty’s equipage settled slowly down to one side, and came to a standstill. “My,” she gasped, “the wheel’s come off!” “Yes,” said a deep voice, “the wheel's come off, Miss Hetty. An’ I guess ’twan’t a very safe axle at beHt. It wobbled pretty bad when ye drove up, I noticed. I guess you an’ Miss S’liny ’d bettor git into my wagon an’ let roe drive ye home. Old Robin, he can be tied behind, an’ we’ll leave tho wheel at the blacksmith’s shop,” Miss Selina was all smiles. “So much obliged to you, Mr. Billings,” said she, “Hetty,” in an undertone, “why don’t you speak? Why don’t ye Bn,y somethin'?” She did not go hack to her shop ping. Red paramatta and olive cashmere might take its chances now. The mag'.c wheel of opportunity was revolving now, and had brought up Matthew Billings on its top round. “I guess you better set behind, miss Selina, an’ I’ll take Hetty up on the front seat with me, 1 ' said Matthew, reflectively. “She’s some glimmer 'n you be.” I Selin i frowned a little, hut sho Hillings is goin’ to marry me, I don’t want lie : liould be ashamed of my folks,” And then, as Billings returnrd, she crie I, gushingly; “Oh, it’s nice to hare a man n- round when anything happen d Mo an’ Hetty wouldn’t 'a kuowed hardly what to do, would wc, Het ty’” Still Hetty sat silent. In her secret heart had arisen an awful certainty that Matthew Billings’s wagon had been cloee by a’l the time, that he had witnessed the little episodo of tho ehina jardini ere nnd the two dollar hill. “If he should speak of it lieforo Selina,” sho thought, in a sort of agony, “what would Selina say?" Uncommunicative though she was,het sister supplied all deficien cies on that score, keeping up a constant current of talk and gig- ling until they reached the door of the old Hawkins house. “Won’t you come in, Mr, Bil- ings?” simpered Selina. “Why, yes, I dunno but what I will,” said Matthew. Josey flew'to light the fire in the beat room. "Don't make no stranger o' mo,’’ said Mr. Billings. “I was calc’l i- tin’ to make this ere call uforu, b it somehow things have sort o’ hurri ed me np today.” Josey gesticulated to Hetty be hind Selina's back. She danced a mute fandango close to the wall. “I’m a-thinkin’ o’ changin’ my conditions,” sal l Matthew, slowly and distinctly. “Dear me!” murmured Solina, turning her lie id modestly away. “And gottin’ married,” added the farmer. “So natural," whispered Selina. “I—-I guess I’d better go an’ put the toukottle on,” faltered Hetty, iu some confusion. “Go!’echoed Billings “You go! What for? Why, you’re the very one I want to marry!” “Me?” But in a second Matthew Bil lings had his sturdy arm around liar waist. “And," said ho, “if I hadn’t seen that kind deed o’ your’n to that poor litiln boy in the street this afternoon, I wouldn't, maybe, have plucked up courage to speak.” “Eh!" gasped Selina. “I always fanciod you was a kind creetur,” added Billings, “and now I’m sartin of it. And if you’ll be my wife, Hetty, I’ll Jo my level best to make you happy,” “Are you sure you don’t mean Selina?” twitered Hetty, unable to believe her good fortune. Matthew smiled. “Yes, pretty sure,” said he. And again Josey danced the wild, gleeful fandango in the shadow of the big screen. Matthow Billings went home, say ing to himself that his promised bride was an angel. Little Billy Powis returned to his mother, and to!d her that Miss Hetty Hawkins certainly was an angel. Josey was delighted beyond measure, and the dissatisfied member of the commu nity was Miss Selina. “The idee,” said she, “of that old fool preferring Hetty to me!”— Saturday Night. 13-CLclclen.’e Arnica Ss£*w«.
