McCracken, in Detroit Free l*re#i. Walter Brownfield; —OR— THE MYSTERY OF PRESTON FLAT. BY JOHN R. MUSICK. Newspaper Company.] CHAPTER I. THE NEW rAUM HAND. “Do you want a farm hand?” •T don’t know,” answered Mr. Miles, a well-to-do farmer in the unassuming neighborhood known as Preston Flat. The farmer who was engaged in re pairing a broken whippletree rested his axe upon the large chopping block, and gave the speaker a searching glance Irom head to foot. The appli cant was a slender, delicate young man, with a mild blue eye and auburn hair. He was nor over twenty or twenty-one years of age, and his soft white hands contrasted strangely with the hardened, snn-burned palms of the farmer's two sons, who stood near by, one with a wagon whip and the other with a bridle in his hand. “I don't know,” repeated Mr. Miles as he scanned the youth still more closely. “You don’t look as if you evi r did any farm work.” •■I can learn,” replied the pale youth, his face showing a despairing ]( ok as his eyes fell on his only earthly possession—a small budget of clothes tied up in a red hankerchief. and a .stick run through them. On approaching Mr. Miles he had taken the bundle from his shoulder and carried it in his hand. The applicant was dressed neatly, though not expensively. His clothes, however, as well as the bundle, were covered with dust. He raised his des pt iring eyes to the farmer’s face, with a look that at once appealed to his heart. “Did you ever work on the farmF’ a:-ked the kind-hearted Mr. Miles. “But very little, sir, I can soon learn, though, anil am willing to do all lean.” “Have you long been seeking em ployment?” “Yes, sir, I have been traveling from house to house, for more than a week,” and the young man, or youth, for he could scarcely be called a man, gazed down the long dusty road up which he had so recently come. Preston Flat was a strip of country lying on the east side of Preston creek about a dozen miles in extent, and four or five miles in width. It was a settlement completely shut in by .sur rounding hills and bluffs. The vallev was undulating and very fertile. The valley had a small village at the head of it under the significant name of Bush villa, In Preston Flat the un ambitious farmer was born, grew old and died, little knowing or earing about the great conflicts which agitated the outside world, He raised his corn, oats and wheat: he fed his corn to his hogs, horses, cat tle and sheep; his wheat was ground into flour by the miller at Bushville, and furnished him bread. Nearly every farmer's wife was a weaver/ and the bang of looms and the whirr of wheels could be heard from one end of the valley to the other. The women made the jeans for the men and linsev clothes for themselves. The other necessary clothes were purchased at tho store in Bushville, which also afforded a miserable market for the products of the farm and what live-stock the farmer had to sell. We are not speaking of Preston Flat of to day, but as it was many years ago, at the opening of our story. Every tribe has a chief, so every com munity a head man, and Preston Flat was not an exception. Aside from thr “great mogul” who owned the village store and post office at Bushville and with whom every body liked to show their familiarity by calling him “Dave,” was Mr. James Miles, the farmer. His farm was larger, ia better condition, nnd a better location than any other in the entire flat. The great farm-honsa which stood upon a slight elevation, fifty rods or more from the broad, hard beaten road, was pointed to with pride by the other farmers of the neighbor hood, and every portly dame in the valley regarded it as the highest honor to “take her knitton” and spend the dav with Mrs. Milos. I'he farm-house was surrounded by stately elms, maple and oak. The bam lots and barn attachments to the same, and the vast fields lying beyond filled with ripening corn stretching away for two miles, indicated wealth and com fort. Jt was to this thrifty farmer Walter Brownfield, with pale face, dust-cov ered, worn-out and di. heartened ap plied for work. Day after day had he tramped from house to house seeking employment, to be turned aside with the assurance that no hands were wanted. He did not understand that his white face and soft hands were the chief cause of his being turned away. What spa.-o change he had was spent in pav ing lodging bills, and the last night he h;u: been compelled jo sleep in a barn. No wonder his pleading soul was in hD face as having waited long and earnestly for an answer, and it coming not. he said: “Will vou be so kind as to*give me a trial?” The stout farmer boys had been attracted by the young man, stood tit tering. as they compared his slender foim with Ihoir own muscular frames. “1 don't know” was the hesitating uiawer of the farmer. “You see the farming season is nearly over. There * ru'llv not much to do now.” “You certainly can give me work mough to pav for my board and clothes my way.” said the anxious young ap plicant. The farmer took his foot down from the chopping block, drove the axe deep Into it, then willi his elbow on his knee, and his head in his hands, seemed to be thinking the matter over. “You say ye never did much farm work?'’ he finally asked, shifting his foot, knee, hand and head, to get another look at the applicant. “No, sir, never but very little.” “Where are ye from?'’ *T came from Queenstown.” “What is your name?” “Walter Brownfield.” “Walter Brownfield,” repeated thfe tarmer. reflectively, still keeping bis head in his hand, in a meditative man ner, “I never heard of that name be fore; as I am not acquainted in Queens own it is nothing strange.” “Thank Heaven!” mentally ejacu lated the tired youth, “you an* not ac quainted with either Queenstown or my name. Why did I not change it? It would have been safer, yet I could not live up to deception.” The farmer then straightened him self up and leaning on his axe began to put what in his estimation were some astute cross questions. “When did you leave Queenstown?” “About ten days ago.” “What have you been doing since?” “Traveling about the country and looking for work.” “Is this the first time you ever played the tramp?” The question was sharp ly put, and mode the cheeks of the young man tingle with shame. Poverty and hunger had subdued, to a great extent, his once proud spirit that a few weeks ago would not have borne such an insnlt. In a tone both sad and truthful, he answered: “ Yes, sir, it is.” “What business have you been en gaged in, in Queenstown?” This question made the young man’s heart leap. He had both expected and dreaded it from the beginning. Looking the farmer in the face, he answered without the slightest hesita tion. “I was a clerk, sir.” “In what?” “A store.” “What kind?” “G nural retail dry-goods store.” “ Why did you quit it?” “ 1 suddenly found myself thrown out of employment by" a business change in the firm.” This answer was ail truth, yet Wal ter felt that he was telling a falsehood in keeping back a part. “Why aid you not seek employment in some other store; there are plenty of them in Queenstown P” “There are,” admitted the youth, “and I applied to all, but they (fid not want clerks. Times are hard on mer chants, and at last I resolved to go to the country and seek labor on a farm. I need the exercise, and don’t feel my self above work.” The last expression pleased the prac tical farmer, who held in contempt the man or boy who shunned manual toil. “That is sensible, young man, and I believe that in spite of your soft white hands you will succeed. We have not much to do for which it is necessary to employ a hand, but there is eorn cuttin', and it will soon be gatherin' time. The sorghum's to grind and make, and plenty o’ chores I guess to keep all three o' you boys busy—” He paused abruptly as though he were again debating the question in his mind. Walter, fearing that lie might alter lis resolution and send him on as so many others had done, said: “I assure you, sir, 1 shall do ray best to please you. I only ask you to givi me a trial, and if 1 fail you can then discharge me.” “That’s fair, but I declar’ there's not much to do,” said the farmer. “Then, sir, the wages can be fixed to correspond. I am tired of tramping about the country,” said Walter, al most despairingly. “I 11 tell ye what I’ll do,” the farmer at last said. “I’ve not got much to do, but if you’ll work here at six dollars a month, its all right. If the work’ll jus tify it, I'll raise your wages.” The price was a mere pittance, buf leai-ning that it included his board, Wal ter accepted rather than trudge far ther. The farmer then told his youngest son, a strapping youth of seventeen, t< carry the young man’s bundle into th house, while John, the older son, and Walter went after a load of rails to mend the fence. It was thus that Wal ter Brownfield commenced as a hired hand for Mr. Miles, the chief farmer of Preston Flat. CHAPTER 11. JACK HAWKINS. Mr. Miles’ family consisted of his wife, two sons and a daughter, who went by the name of • ‘Pinkey.” Mrs. Miles was a good-natured, motherly dame, who was at home only with cows and poultry. The sons were robust young men who had inherited their father’s consti tution and their mother's good nature. Each, to use his own expression, “was as strong as an ox.” There is no more beautiful specimen of God’s handiwork than the hardy sons of the soli whom we find in the rural districts. It is these same farm ers’ sons of the soil who not only fur nish the muscle of our country, but the largest amount of brains. It is thesG robust farm lads who make our legislators, our Governors and Presidents. We ask the reader who doubts our assertion to just think a moment bovy many Presidents of the United States there have been who were not born and chiefly reared on farms. * But we beg pardon, we are wander ing from the story. The morning after Walter Brown field’s engagement to Mr, Miles, he was aroused at early dawn by Johp Miles nudging him in the side, saying: “It is about time farm men were up. We must git out and feed.” “You mean go to breakfast?” asked Walter, rubbing his eyes sleepily, and contrasting this early rising with the pleasant morning nap he was permitted to take in the city. “Breakfast, no!” said John, in a tone of some contempt. “D'ye ’spose we people in the country do nothin' but eat. No, sir, we must git out an’ feed the hogs, horses, cattle and sheep afore breakfast. We’ll be late about it; I assure you,” added John, rather snappishly. “Ben’s been gone for an hour or more.” Walter crawled from the warm bed shivering with cold—for the first au tumn frost had fallen during the night —wishing that he could have got half an hour’s more sleep. Seeing that John regarded him some what contemptuously, he hurried on the farmer costume, and went out. There was haying cattle, measuring and carrying to each horse his rations of oats, feeding the green fodder to the sheep in the pasture, of which Walter had his due share assigned him. He felt a little timid as the cattle with long sharp horns ran after him, while scattering the hay, but his de termined will overcame his terror, and he got through the feeding with credit to himself. Breakfast was announced* and he ac companied the boys to the rear yard, where there was a well, some wash basins and a towel banging on the out side wall. This was a strange place for one to perform his morning ablutions and ar range his toilet, but he found it not un pleasant, and supposed it was health inspiring They drew the cold, spark ling water from the well and each pro ceeded to wash hi§ face, head and neck. ' Walter followed their example *ud found towel, comb and mirror hanging on the outside wall, bv and with waicb he arranged his toilet. When this was completed they went to breakfast. Walter was sore he never enjoyed a better meal. Mr. Miles, as was his usual custom, laid out the work for the boys during the day. Ben, the younger, was to plow some meadow lann, and John, the older, and Walter were to “cut and shock” corn.” Mr. Miles himself harnessed a span of horses to the light farm wagon and announced that he and his daughter Pinkey would go to Bushville to do some fall marketing. The farmer also intended to take some bags of wheat to the mill to be ground. Pinkey Mtles was always pretty, but when she was attired in her holiday dress, and m*at little leghorn bonnet, she looked more so than ever. Walter received one glance from those roguish black eyes as she came out to get into the wagon, and he felt a strange tluttering at his heart. He stifled down any emotion he might have, and taking his corn knife followed John Miles to one Held, while Pinkey. by her father's side on the wagon, drove away Mr. Miles had on his holiday clothing also, including a high crowned narrow rimmed hat, which has in latter days been termed a •■plug." I’inkey gazed on the blue sky, the I ght fleecy clouds, the leaves of the trees now assuming a golden hue, and followed the birds in their flight, o* listened to their gladsome songs, while her practical father gazed about on the fields, and inspected the fences, barns and houses, making various criticisms on the same. The spirited horses went down the road at a good round trot, and clouds of dust rose in the rear of the wagon, floating away to settle on the leaves ol the trees, or accumulate in the fields. They had passed a small farm-house situated on a hill with alield extending along the road, inclosed by a misera ble fence. “There's that trifling Jack Hawk ins,” said Mr. Miles to his daughter, pointing to a man with dark brown whiskers, broad-brimmed hat, in his shirt sleeves, sitting on tl e fence near a miserable old tumble-down gate. “I'll declare, he’s the laziest man in the entire flat Always sittin’ on the fence and never doin’ any good. Be sides he keeps that tramp Bill Martin about him all the time, who is twice as triflin’ as he.” “How do they make a living, father, if they don’t work?” asked Pinkey, who, farmer girl like, knew no honor able means of support save manual toil. “I do not know, daughter; that has always been a mystery; some people Scan sit on the fence all day and never come to want, while others work for dear life an’ can hardly make ends meet. But they do say Bill Martin is a thief, an’ he may steal enough in his tramps to keep Jack and his family from starving.” A small boy, the son of Jack Haw kins, ran to the fence to peep through at the father and daughter as they drove by. They saw Jack Hawkins' team of gray mares harnessed to the plow and standing just inside the gate, while Jack Hawkins himself sat on tin fence, as if he was waiting for them to approach. “Holloa, neighbor Miles!” cried Jack, as the wagon came opposite him. “Going to town to-day?*’ “Yes, Jack; are ye putting in youi wheat?” asked Mr. Miles reining in his restless horses. “Just commenced plowing for it,” answered Hawkins, a grin on his face that made it at once distrustful. “Why ain’t you plowing now stopped to take a rest?” “No, broke a clevis, and Bill’s gone to the house to get one.” “How long since ye had that field in cultivation?” “Some three or four years,” said Jack, descending from the fence and advancing to the wagon. He was u man about forty-five years of age, with bushy hair and heard, a crestfallen gray eye and square, massive chin. He came forward at his usual lazy, shambliug rate, and familiarly put one foot on the hub of the fore-wheel next to him, supporting his elbow on the knee of his elevated leg, and resting his chin in his hand, he seemed to square himself for a two hours’ talk. “Got anew hand, I her’d?” said Jack. “Yes; hired one yesterday.” “D’ye think he’s’mueh account?” “Can't say, I’ve not given him a fail trial yet,” answered the farmer. “He is rather a delicate fellow?” “Yes, rather.” “Don't look as though he’d ever done much farm work?” “No, he says he never did, but he seems willing to learn.” “Do you think ho pan do it, if he does learn?” “I don’t see why he should not.” “Why, he's rather weakly, you know.” “Rather a slender young man.” “Yes; don’t look as though he could manage a fiery team, or do a hard day’s work.” ! 'Those slender chaps sometimes de ceive one.” “What has he been doin’?” asked Jack. “Clerking in a dry-goods store.” “Where? 9 ’ “At Queenstown,” “A clerk, hey?' 1 “Tliat’s what he says he’s been do* ipo-,” “A reg’lar ladies’ gentleman, then,” said Jack, with a shy glance at Pinkey, “One o’ them fellars what can measure calerco. talk soft, and walk on eggs without breakin’ ’em.” “He seems willing to work, and a perfect gentleman,” answered Mr. Miles. Then, to change the converse* tion, he said: “How much winter wheat do you intend to put in?” “Dunno,” was the answer; “some fifteen or twenty acres, I suppose.” “You are rather late commencing for that much.” < “Ya-as; but if I don’t git it all in, I'll have to be content with puttin’ a part.” “You haven’t plowed five furrows yet.” “No; just commenced,” said the careless Jack Hawkins, shifting his foot to the ground and putting the other foot on the hub. “Our clevis broke and Bill went to the house to grit the other.” “You have your grays, yet,” said Farmer Miles, as he gazed over the fence at the two rather likely-looking gray mares attached to the plow. “Yes, an’ it’s a shame to hev to hold ’em to a plow.” “Why?” “They are both racers. They kin out run a greased streak o’ double geared lightning.” “But they'll do more good at the plow,” was the answer of the practical Mr. Miles. “How long has that young chap been from Queenstown,” asked Jack Haw kins reverting to the subject which seemed to interest him. “About two weeks or ten days,” waa the answer. “What is his name?” “Walter Brownfield. But it’s getting late and we must be going,” said Mr. Miles, starting h ; s team. “Don’t work too hard.” There was no need of making the request, for Jack Hawkins was not liable to do that.
