Romance of a Husking,
A CHRISTMAS STORY. {
: ARMER JENKINS'S

= W barn and the prettiest
7N ; daughter in the whole
- ; township, and, in the
second place, his wife makes the
sweetest doughnuts and the thickest
pumkin pies and the richest molasses
cake of any one near here. And, in ad
dition to all these attractions, a pretty
little romance was brought to a charming
finale in a most original and quaint man
ner just before the husking was done.
Janie Jenking i 3 & most bewitching
bundle of wilful womanhood, with de
licious, demure little ways that win your
heart, but with a certain proud dignity
that commands yourrespect. If evershe
lifts her long, dusky lashes and reveals
the wistful depths of her wonderful eyes
vou feel like taking her in your arms as
you would a baby that is sobbing; but
if you so much as touch the tips of her
fingers she flashes a look of scornful de
flance from those same depths that would
right about face a whole regiment of
men.. Evenin her childhood’s merry
games of forfeits no daring rustic laddie
ever presumed to claim his rightful kiss
from Janie, for she didn't believe in
kissing and nonsense and would have
none of it, but she was a blythe, brave,
bonny little maiden, who knew how to
steeer her own sled down the sparkling
snow crust in winter and sail her own
erazy skiff over the waves in summer,
and thought no more of going out in
the pasture to catch and mount the
vixenish, perverse little mare she would
persist in riding (though not a man on
the place could handle her) than other
girls think of picking a bouquet of roses
for their corsage.
Every one felt a little bit of awe in
Janie's presence, even the old biddies
who knew she never would amount to
anything becanse she would not learn to
bake and brew; and tho honest country
boy who admired her afar off, and,
flushed with strange, eager joy, they
couldn't understand when she smiled on
them. But there was one person who
wasn't afraid of Miss Janie, and that was
Harrison Wilkins, whose mother’s farm
joined her father’s, and who took her
out in her little cart on the first journey
she ever made in this world, when she
was six weeks and he was six years old.
It was Harrison who carried her little
ghiny dincer pail to the school when she
went to learn her A B C's who taught
her how to steer the sled and sail the
boat; who buried her kitten when it
died; who helped her break the spirit of
the fractious mare, and showed her how
to sit the saddle firmly and hold the bri
dle well down in her firm little hand. Tt
was Harrison who took her where the first
Mayflowers came in the springtime; who
showed her where the first strawberries
ripened ia June, and who shook the first
chestnuts down for her in October; who
helped her with her sums in arithmetic
and fought her battles, and who never
feared her or heeded her pretty imperious
ways at all, Perhaps it was the care that
his father’s death brought to him as a
child ‘that developed his strength and
fi‘rningss and fearlessness; perhaps it was
only the dignity of his great love for
Janig that made him ler master. The
day they buried the kitten he fold her not
tu ery, for she would be bis little wife
"some ‘@ay, and when she indizaantly
lisped her vow never, never to be any-
Yody's wie, he- only laughed and said:
THE ENTERPRISE.
““That's all right, Janie, for now, but
'you'll change your mind some day.”
Every one in Wilton thought Janie
and Harrison were to be married—that
is, every ome but Janie—when there
came upon the scene Adolphus Comstock
from & distant city, who was the son of
her father’s oldest friend, He came for
the fishing and sketching, but he stayed
for something else,
He knew women only through the
the conventional formal medium of so
ciety, and was such an exasperatingly
cynieal and indifferent creature that he
piqued most women into displaying their
frivolous and least attractive character
istics to him. He cared more for his
pointers than for his sister’s chattering
friends; for a trout brook, his rod and
flies than any moonlight excursion or
picnie, with a galaxy of pretty girls who
must be waltzed with and talked with.
But Janie knew the favorite haunts of
the speckled beauties herself, and could
give him points on the fishing question
besides. Earrison had taught her. - She
could pull her skiff steadily and still to
where there were schools of bass hid in
the cool waters of the lake, and land the
gamiest of them without a scream, and
when she cleared a five-rail fence on the
wicked little pony which he had seen her
saddle and mount, his respect grew into

FACED THEM LIKE A FRIGHTENED BIRD.
,wondering. piquant interest. He liked
the proud reserve with which this little
| rural beauty met his advances, the pretty,
, scornful curl of the red lips at his finest
comphiments and the haughty poise of
the small head as her eyes flashed charm
ing negatives to his proposals. He
lfancied what a wonder she would be
ouce she learned her power; what a
| queenly beauty in the apparel which his
| wealth could give her; what a strong,
( tender woman once her spirit were broken
' and her heart melted,
! Harrison looked on grimly at all this
wooing, ground his teeth sometimes as
she rode by with the handsome stranger
on the horse he taught her how to ride,
! but always smiled at last in confident con
| tent, and said to himsell: ¢‘She will flirt
with that city chap to the end of the
chapter, but she will be my wife at last.”
He told her so the dey of the husking,
when he was helping her fasten the cedar
festoons. Her face was temptingly near
| his as she raised it to lift to him some
! more of the greens, and they were just
| beneath the kissing wreath, too, but
| when he would have claimed his just and
; lawful ducs she stopped him with a pretty
| protesting ¢‘please,” and as she turned
t her flushed face away he could see the
| full white throat quiver a little as with a
| sudden contraction, and the lips trembled
E strangely. Th:ey were all :}loue in a big
fragrant place just for a minute, and he
I stooped suddenly and caught her with a
noose of the green rope he was draping
| and asked if she had forgotten that she
was to be his wife some day, and when
instead of the usual spirited protest, she
only laughed and told him softly that
when she was quite sure she was ready
she would give him the kiss she owed
him, he freed her and went on with his
' hammering and whittling.
\ That had been a trying day for Janie.
She had helped her mother with the
1 baking and her father with the bara de
l coration. She had ridden twice into the
I village for some forgotten ingredient
l needed for the mysterious processes go
| ing on in the big, sweet pantry, and
| worse than all the rest, Adolphus Com
] stock had proposed to her in the little
| parlor, where she ‘'sat polishing the scar
l let apples for the supper. It was all so
| sudden, and everything was in such a
' flutter that she didn’t know what she had
[ told him, but was dimly conscious of
iturning away her face when he would
have kissed her, and faltering out some
‘ thing about her giving him the kiss some
i time when she was sure she could b 2 all
i to him that he asiced her to be.
| Janie was horribly afraid that night as
| she thought it all over, while sho braided
| her long, glossy hair into a corone} for
:’her graceful little head, that she had
! half promiced to marrj two maa, and the
(worst es it ias she dida't quite know
}‘which onesie did care most for, It was
too bad of Harrison to say what he did
} when she ad so much to do and no time

to think it out at all, and after she had
one proposal.
But already the pezople were coming,
and there was notime to think then, so
she flew into a dark blue gingham dress,
with a broad collar turned back from her
soft, white throat, and knotted with
scarlet ribbons, tied a red apron around
her trim waist, and tripped lightly down
the stairs and through the moonlight tc
the barn, where she met her guests with
her merry, glad greeting, and there
seated herself on a big corn shock, with
her small, shapely head outlined against
the yellow corn heap at her back, and
hot blushes sweeping over her face,
Something evidently was the matter with
Janie, for the lithe, brown hands that
usually were swiftest of all at the work
trembled provokingly as she tore the yel
low husks away, with the soft eyelashes
resting against her warm, flushed
cheeks.
Such a laugh as arose when Jane, of
all others, found the firct red ear, but
the girl herself grew strangely pale for
an instant; then with a bound she flew as
fleetly as a deer round and round the
room, in and out among the workers.
One by one the pursuers dropped out of
the race, except Harrison and Adolphus.
The people knew pretty well the state of
affairs between the three, and watched
with breathless interest the result of the
race, which seemed to them significant
and prophetic.
The girl’s stepa grew slower, and at
length, finding herself in a corner where
there was no escape, she caught one of
the festoons and half climbed, half drew
herself up to the top of the great corn
heap, where she poised, turned and faced
them like a frightened bird in a snare.
Adolphus would have dashed up after her,
but Harrison put his big, brown hand
commandingly on the other’s shoulder
aud bade him wait. “Now, Janie,” he
said, mn the old confident, sweet tone,
‘come down and take your pick.”
Just for a second she waited, but in
that fatal second came back to her all
the years of sweet companionship, of
helpfulness and trust. Why, of course,
she couldn’t live without him; of course
she was to be his wife some day; of
course she belonged to him—hadn’t he
always said so, even by the kitten’s grave;
and just then the corn shock she stood
on gave a great slide, and, without any
effort of her own, she was in his arms,
and everbody was cheering and shouting
in the place. And right in the midst of
it all didn’t Harrison say with a triumph
ant gleam in his flashing eyes: “I told
you so, Janie; and now for the kiss.”
‘She lifted the shadowy lashes just for
a second with a look in her eyes that
made the big, strong fellow fecl as weak
as a woman, and kissed him softly once,
twice, thrice, before them all. Then
she ran away, and he couldn't get near
her again until after the tables were
cleared and the dancing was to begin.
The stranger disappeared, and no one
could find him at the supper, but when
the long lines of the Virginia reel had
formed, he mounted the quickly im
provised platform, took Harrison’s
violin, bade him go and find Janie to lead
the dance, and then he played such
music as the people had never heard be
i fore, and watched Janie trip down the
‘centre with both small hands held fast
‘and hidden in her lover's broad brown
ones. The next morning he went away
and there’s tobe a wedding on Christmas,
and he says he's coming back to play
while Janie leads the dance again,—

PASSING OF 2ATENT JARS.
Patent jars tor holding preserved
fruit are no longey a necessity, accord:
ing to a writer who seems to have
studied the subject pretty closely.
Tieing cotton batting over the mouth
of the jars containing the fruit is
much move satisfactory. The fruit
should be poured hot into the jars,
wlich are to be covered immediatcly
with wite paper, and over thata lay
er of cotton batting just as it comes ofi
the roll, and tied down securely with
cotton twine. . The cotton, it is
claimed, prevents the entrance of bac

ments.—[New York World.
A BAG OF THISTLEDOWN.
A very pretty ornament is made of
i a bag of white tissue veiling about
twelve inches wide, or the usnal veil
ing width, and a yard long. It will
require two yards of veiling. This is
filled with thistledown, or, better still,
the downy substance inside -of milk
weed pods. The milkweed pods are
put in after the.bag 15 formed, before
the pods open, and it drys and grows‘
downy and beautiful. The bag when ‘
firat filled should mnot be more than
half full, as the down expands, and it
must be tied in the middle with a bow i
of delicate grreen or blue ribbon. It
may then be suspended over a picture {
or in any place where a scarf may be
used.— [Ladies’ Home Companion, ‘
SCHOOL FROCKS
The serviceable, all-wool plaids,
striped and checked cheviots are taste
ful and as inexpensive as good mate
rials can be for this purpose. A per
son is gometimes able to pick up a
yard or so of one material and three
or four yards of another fabric very
cheap, and out of the {wo combine a
serviceable dress, using the plaid for
sleeves, collar and yoke or V, and the
plain for the round waist or jacket
bodice, and full, gathered skirt; or,
if plain and striped goods are to be
united, use the plain, as above de.
geribed, for the plaid. Donot despair
over half-worn frocks, for even three
materials may be inferwoven to form
a comfortable dress.
Misses are apt to outgrow their
waists and leave the skiit short, but
well preserved. Then lengthen the
skirt with a bias band of plaid, and
have a basque of the same. If extra
waists are needed,have a belted blouse
of striped flannel. Both children and
misses are dressed now in a simple,
youthful and comfortable manner.
Mothers ecannot err in keeping their
dresses plain, but they do make a de
decided mistake if they adopt a fussy
or over-dressed siyle for their daugh

after that tine the daughters are very
apt to select their own wearing ap

An Immevse Farm,
In the extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana lies the largest producing farm
in the world, measuring 100 miles north
and south, and twenty-five miles cast and
west, It is owned and operated by a
syndicate of northern capitalists. The
1,600,000 acres of the (ract were purchased
in 1883 from the State of Louisiana and
{rom the United States government.
At that time it was a vast grazing land
for the cattie of the few dealers of the
neighborhood; over 80,000 head of half
wild horses and cattle bring hereon,
Now this immense tract is divided into
convenient pasture stations, or ranches,
existing every six miles, The fencing
alone cost in the neighborhood of §SO
- The Southern Pacific railway runs
for thirty-six miles through the farm.
The company has three steamboats oper
ating on the waters of their estates, of
which there are over 300 miles navigable,
They have also an icchouse, a bank, a
shipyard and a rice mill.

The people at the World’s
Dispensary of Buffalo, N. Y.,
have a stock-taking time once”
a year and what do you think "
they do? Count the number
of bottles that've been re
turned by the men and women
who say that Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery or
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion didn't do what they said
it would do.
And how many do you
think they have to count.
One in ten? Not one in five
hundred !
Here are two remedies—
one the Golden Medical Dis
covery, for regulating and in
vigorating the liver and purify
ing the blood; the other, the
hope of weakly womanhood,
and they've been sold for
years, sold by the million bot
tles; sold under a positive
cuarantee, and not one in five§
hundred can say: e
«It was not the medicine for
me ! ” .
And-—is there any reason
why you should be the one?
And-—supposing you are what
do you lose? Absolutely
nothing !/
