Mrs. Farquobar, looking in owlish
fashion through her spectacles

“We’ve got plenty to spare with

and the rosu hedges all sprinUetl
over with pink buds. “I am sure,
tmulam, you will reconsider your
decision, and take me for a few
dAvs, and i will promise to he no
more trouble around the house than
a kitten.”
Mrs. Fnrquehnr was hut human,
and the upshot, of a Hairs was that
Mr. Waller’s trunk arrived the next
day.
“Oli, mother,” said Patty Far-
quehnr, knitting 1 er pretty eye
brows, “why did you let him in?
And we so peaceful and comforta
ble here!”
“Child, why shouldn’t I?” said
ttic widow. “He’s to pay ten dol
lars a week board, and I have no
use for the little three cornered
room over the parlor.”
I don’t know,” said Patty,
slowly, “bat it seems to me I feel
exactly as Kvo must have felt when
she saw the serpent writhing his
way into Paradise.”
“Nonsense?” exclaimed Mrs.
Fnrquehur. almost angrily.
Hat Patty only laughed, and ran
away under the shadow of the pink
buds lo meet her lover, Morris
Newton.
“Littio one,” said Morris, impris
oning both her soft white hands in
ids, “I have got bad news for
you.”
..“Bad news, Morris?”
“l’vjo got to go to Omaha next
week to see about those silver
mines that one Of my clients has
an interest in.”
“Oh, dear.” said Patty, pursing
up her strawberry ot a mouth.
“I shall be gone six months.”
“Worse nnd worse,” said Patty
“But if you say so, Patty,” draw
ing her to Ids side, “we can be
married first, and make a weddin
trip of it.
“The idea !” Unshed buck Patty,
drawing herself outofhis embrace,
And f without a single dress
made!”
‘We can buy the dresses after
ward."
T hat’s all a man knows about
it.”
“You are sure it’s impossible?”
v.itli a disappointed air.
“Ob, quite,” asserted the little
Brunette.
“Thfii,” said NIr. Newton, with
a sigh, “yon must write very often,
und be petting your fol-de-rois
ready to be married as soon us I
come lioinc.”
“Yes," said Patty, gravely;
that's more reasonable.”
And she went into the house
utterly ignorant that nt the same
time Mr. Stuart Waller was lay
ing a wagei with a boom com
panion ut the Kustworlh Arms
that “he could cut out the conceit
ed lawyer in less than lour weeks.”
For Mr. Waller was piqued by
“My dear Patty," said he, “do
you take me for a fool "
“My name is Miss Farquhar,”
said tlie girl, with [lashing eyes.”
“Excuse me; but when yon say
•Dear Slin-r
“I never said sueli a thing !” in
terrupted Patty, with burning
cheeks nnd eyes aflame.
“In tlie letter.”
"I said “Dear Mr. Waller,”
panted Patty.
“Excuse mo once more. Yonr
memory plays you false.”
"Will you return to mo the let
ters ?”
"Miss Farqulmr,” with a low
bow, “they are a great deal too
precious to me.”
“You refuse ?”
“1 never refuse anything to a
Indy; but—”
Putty did not stay to hear the
conclusion, but flashed out into the
afternoon sunshine, with a large
lump in her throat and a curious
sensation as if ail her blood was
turned to fire.
“Wliat a fool I have been,” she
.thought, pacing up the tiny grav
eled walk like a chained panther-
ess, nnd biting her scarlet lip.
“Oh, what an idiot, iinreasonnDlc
fool! A ml wliat will become of
me if Morris Newton secs those
scrawls ? But surely, surely, in
tlie wildest moment of infutuatiou,
I never addressed him as "Dear
Stuart?” Be that as it may, how
ever, I must and will get those let
ters back."
Fired witli indignation, Patty
Farquhar resolved herself into a
private detective, searched Mr.
Waller’s room, and even got a
false key to his trunk went through
the contents, hut nil in vain. And
she hud the satisfaction of ncrceiv-
tug by Mr. Waller’s amused and
'putronixing manner that be knew
nil about it.
“I will Jiiave them yet,” said
Putty.
Miss Furqtinar was standing with
clasped hands before tlie wide-
opened door of the old-fashioned
oven, built on the side of the
kitchen chimney and extending a
sort of hump-bucked exorcsccnce
out into the lilac hushes of the
bnck garden, when Mr. Waller
enme iu with a string of speck
led trout depending from his lin
ger.
"I,a Pcnserosn !”said ho lightly.
“Pardon me, Putty, but why are
you so gravo?”
■ “My thimble,” said she, “it has
rolled down into the oven—my lit
tle gold thimble.
“And can you not reach it ?”
“It is impossible.”
“Nothing is impossible when u
lady's behest spurs one oil,” said
Mr. Waller,gallantly. Stnndaside
one second, Pcnserosn.”
has gone away to the village Do
shout!”
“Patty," imploringly said Mr.
Waller.
“Well!”
“Am I to be held a prisoner here
for life?”
“Until you give me those let
ters ?”
“I can’t,” replied Mr. Waller,
“I liavo not got them with me/’
“But you can tell me where
they are, I suppose,” rejoined
The oven was hot und dark—
a sensation akin to suffocation
stole over Stuait Waller.
“Bet me out,” said he, grind
ing his teeth, “and I will give them
to you.”
“That won’t do,” retorted Tat
ty. “I must have them before you
come out or not nt all.”
“Impossible.”
“Nothing is impossible when
a lady’s behest spurs one on,”
mimicked malicious Patty.
Mr. Waller uttered an excla
mation which was certainly not u
prayer.
“I can’t stnnd this broiling
hole!” shouted lie. “In tlie little
lattice summer house under the
loose board of the table. Quick,
or I shall surely be stifled to
death !"
Patty flew oil' as if her tiny feet
werq garnished with wings. In
tlie summer bouso under the loose
board of the table, lay tlie two
letters, as Waller bad said, wrap
ped in oil silk, and tied with a
yellow cigar ribbon. Catching
them up, she tore them hurriedly
open.
"I knew it wasn’t !Dear Stuart,’ ”
she exclaimed mockingly, and then
tearing them into a shower of in
finitesimal pieces, sho flung them
to the summer wind.
Half a minute later, Mr. Waller,
crumpled us to linen, frowsy as to
hair and streaming |witli prespira-
tion, crept out of his sultry cell.
Patty courtesyed low lo greet bis
egress.
“Walk ont,” said she, “coward
and liar."
Mr. Waller mado no reply.
What epujd lie have said?
He left Farquhar cottage that
evening. He said he had received
a telegram. Perhaps he had, but
Patty bad tier doubts on the snb-
ject. At all events be disappeared,
and Patty Farquhuu breathed free
Again.
Morris Nowton came back in
October, and Putty married him.
But sbe never told any one, even '
tier husband, of the episode of
tlie old brick oven and the two
letters.
The Georgia editor,, ought to be
a happy fellow now, jwd,doubtless
would bo but ior the incumbrances
ol last year's grub bills. Crop
prospects were never better—indi
cative that subscription bills will
be promptly paid in the fall, and
that business men will use the
newspaper columns to invite trade.
A lively political campaign is just
opening, promising material for
“blood and tbuader" editorials for
all summer. It is not very long
until green plums and blackberries
will be on band—then living U
cheap. The picnic and excusion
season is promising of many square
meals and quarter column locals,
and in alt tlie contemplation of the
future furnishes food for self eon-
grutuintion to the country Journal
