Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
Down in the valley, the clock of
Osborne Ghnrch had jnst struck
^twelve, the sounds coming in muf
tied throbs through the waves of
feathery, fast falling snow, and
Miss Almira Brown, making her
way across the- deserted' church
yard, stopped to listen, with one
hand behind her ear.
“Sounds dreadful uatuial,” said
she. “Seems like only yesterday I
was here instead of eighteen good
years. I wish it would’t snow so!
It’s sort o’ bewilderin’. I believe
I’m off the true path ag’in. I don’t
really know if I’m close to the
north wall by Deacon Linsley’s
grave, or down under the. hill
where Dewey’s two daughters are
buried. I wonder,” with a little
shiver, “if there is really such a
thing as a ghost? And if there
was, would’t it'be strange and sort
o’ creepy-like to meet one, spookin’
round here in the snow on Saint
Valentine’s Eve? Most folks would
say that was a sign of speedy death;
end the Browns never were a long-
lived family. Oh, here I be!” as
she perceived, through the glim
mering veil of white, the black
outlines of a rude stone stile. “I
guess I’ll find my way all rignt-
now.”
Carrying her carpet-bag in her
hand, Miss Almira made a plunge
for the high road, and presently
stood under the porch of a pretty,
old-fashioned house, a story and a
half high, with brooding eaves that
came nearly to the ground, and
windows barred with wooden shat
ters, plaintedred.
’Hump!” cantinued Almira,
stamping the snow from, her sub
stantial calf-skin boots, and chang
ing the carpet-bag from one band
to the other. “Zenas has had the
fence repaired and a uew gale put
in.”
She knocked vigorously at the
door. No reply came. She knock
ed aguiu, still with no better suc-
cess.--“ __
“Just like Zenas,” muttered she.
“The most abseni-mindedest cree-
tur that ever lived—to go off the
very night he expected; his only
sister to come home. 1 never’d ha’
left Canaan Centre to come back
here and. keep for him if I’d’a
suspected such treatment as this
However, doctors have got excuses
that other folks hain’t, especially
country dcctors, 1 dare say Zenas
had a sadden call, _ and I guess
likely I’ll find the door-key in the
old place.”
She stooped down, and lifting
the corner of the door-mat fished
out'a big brass key, wherewith she
proceeded to open the door and ad
mit herself into a little carpeted
entry, ’ where a- kerosene lamp
burned low on the. table.
“I do declare,” said Almira,
“he’s fixed up things real nice. A
carpet on the floor, and new paper,
on the walls.. I guess he meant to
give me a surprise. Here’s the
teapot on the kitchen stove.
Zenas always wa5"partial to a enp
o’ tea—and a good fire, too. I’ll
jest set down and dry myself a
spell before I look aronnd. Zenas’ll
be back directly, I hain’t no
doubt!” .
The warmth and quiet of the
cozy little kitchen acted as a so
porific on the chilled and wearied
traveler, and the first thing she
knew the-clock in. the. corner was
striding one, a:ul turning with a
sadden start, she saw a short, stout
man on the threshold staring at
her. , ..
“What do you want?” she de
manded, curtly, remembering,
with a pang of terror, that she had
forgotten to relock the door, in her
amazement at the new paper and
the striped carpet in the hall “The
doctor ain’t at home, and -I don’t
know when he’ll be back.”
“I don’t want the doctor,” said
the short man.
“Then,” said Almira, rising to
the .emergency, “you’re a buglar,
and you’d better clear out o’ this!”
She seized the poker and ad
vanced resolutely toward him.
“Look here, ma’am,” said- Hie
stranger.
“I won’t look,” shrilly uttered
Miss Almira. “I’m in charge here,
and—”
At this moment she caught the
toe of her calfskin boot in the
thrifty rag rag that lay in front of
the fire and stumbled, and as she
did so, the poker flew out of her
and and went hurtling through
the air, bitting the strange man on
the side of the head.
Miss Almira was appalled,
she scrambled to her feet, to see
him stagger backward to a chair,
with a dnll red stream trickling
down his face.
, “Good, laud!” she ejaculated,
“I’ve killed the burglar! I’m a
murderer, and never meant it,
neither!”
“It’s your own fault,” she added.
“Why did yon come burgling
here? Be you much hurt? Oli,
dear! oh, dear! why don’t he speak
to me? Why don’t Zenas come?
Where’s my camphor bottle? Oh,
my goodness! I .do hope he ain’t
going to die right here on the
kitchen hearth!”
The sound of sleigh-bells out
side chimed joyfully upon her ears.
She laid the strong man’s head
carefully down on a pillow impro
vised out of her own carpet-bag,
and rushed wildly out, holding the
kerosine lamp high above her
head.
“Come in, whoever yon be!” she
screamed. “Help! help!”
The passer-by drew reigu.
“Hullo!” said he, “Ain’t this
my sister Almira Brown?”
“Why,” cried \ the bewildered
spinster, “it’s Zenas. Where have
yon been so long?”
“I’ve been to see a sick patient,”
the country doctor made answer.
“What’s the matter Almira! When
did you come?”
“I’ve killed a burglar!” faltered
the woman. “Do come in quick,
Zenas, aud see if you can do any
thing! I don’t s’pose they’ll hang
me, do you, if it was done in self-
defense? And I didn’t do it, either
—it done itself.”
“Here—in this house?” ,
“Why certainly! Where should
it be?”
“But what was yon doing hero^
Almira?” as hp slowly unwound
himself from fur robes and.bnffalo-
skin cushions, and dismounted
from the little red cutter with
slow, cramped movements.
“Doin’here! Why waiting for
you.”
“For me, Almira? ’
. “Good gracious,—Zenas, !l hope
you ain’t gettin’ hard-o’ bearin’ in
your old age! For yon, of coarse.”
“But, Almira, I don’t live here!”
Miss Almira had nearly dropped
the kerosene lamp into a snow
drift in her consternation.
“Not live here?” she echoed.
“Why, no. I liv9 in the old
house a quarter-mile further on—
don’t ye remember—under the old
buttonball tree.”
“I thought the old_ buttonball
tree had been cat down!” gasped
Almira. “And this is jnst the
samellort o’ house.”
“It’s one that Silas Stafford-
built, after the same gin’ral pat
tern,” said Zenas. “A reg’lar old
bachelor. And lives here by him
self. Do you mean to say, Almira,
he is hurt?” \
By way of an answer, Almira en
ergetically poshed her brother in
ti the kitchen, where by this time
the injured man was sitting up on
the hearth, looking Vaguely aronnd
him.
“Eh?” said Zenas Brown, cheer
fully. “What’s the matter? Jnst
a little skin cat—that’s all. And
yet you’re weak with loss of blord.
Til soon fix you up. A pretty
Saint Yalentine’s Day yon’ll have,
and the mails to be sorted out!”
“For he’s the" - " postmaster,
■Almira,” he added lo his sister.
“Been here two years now. Fetch
in a bowl of warm water, and just
hand over yonr-pocket handker
chief, Si mirs ”
“Oh, dear, can’t I sort the mails,
Zenas?” faltered Miss Almira. “I
used often to do it at Canaan Cen
tre, when the postmaster was bnsy
invoicing railroad freight.”
“I guess yon’ve . done about
enough already, Almira,” said
Zenas, with a sly chuckle.
All night long Almira sat np,
changing the bandages on poor
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY.
“He’s all right now,’' said the
country doctor. “Ain’t yon, sir?”
Silas Salford nodded, cheerfully:
“She’s been proper good to me,”
said he, with n glance . at Almira.
“It wasn’t no fault o’ hern. She
s’posed this was your house and
tlial I was a burglar. She did
quite right”
“lt-wern’t me!” almost sobbed
Almira. “The poker flew right
outen my hands like it was be
witched,”
“And,” ndded Zenas, “Abiali
Crook he’s took charge o’ the post-
office, and distributed the mail,
and sent out the bags, and all that.
And here’s a Valentine for you,-Si,'
all lace paper an’ roses; an’ I’ll
bet it’s from your old sweetheart,
Sally Dawson, at Lam’s Settle
ment.”
Bat Silas made no attempt to
open it
“Nonsense!” said he, ungra
ciously pushing the missive away.
“I don’t care nothingabout no val
entine. And, besides—”
“Eh?”
“Yonr sister—she was the first
woman I caught sight of on-Saiiit
Yalentine’s Day,” sheepishly re r
marked Silas.'
“Well, if we come to the rights
■of the thing, the poker, was yonr
valentine, I guess,” chuckled
Zenas.
And Almira, choking with rage
and 'mortification, hurried out- of
the room, caught up her bonnet
and shawl and went home.
“I never shall dare to look him
in the face again!” she sobbed, as
she went to work to get dinner for
her brother.
But she did. She took- him a
bowl- of toothsome chicken sonp
that very noon, and by common
consent they avoided the question
of the poker.
A month passed by—six weeks.
The April wild flowers began to
peep out from under the layers of
dead leaves in the woods, and
Almirn had a pink and fragrant
cluster of trailiug arbutus in her
bund one day when she met Silas
Safford coming home with the key
of-the postoffice dangling over his
finger. ^
“Yon’re fretting about some
thing, Almirn,” said he, pausing to
greet her. ■ ; _
“Yes,” said she frankly, “I. am.
Zenas is going to be married to
Widow Parlet, and be* ain’t no
more use for me. I've got to back
to Canaan Centre, and—”
Silas deliberately put the key iu
his pocket, so as to leave both
hands free, and took Almira, trail
ing arbutus and all, into bis capa-
•cious grasp.
“Stay!” said he. “Don’t go. If
Zenas can get married, so can yon.
I meant it, Almira, that day when
I said you were my valentine. I
mean it now. Don’t go ' back to
Canaan Centre. Stay here with
me!”
Almira's eyes—bright, cheerful
brown orbs they were—sparkled; a
smile dawned around her lips.
“Ain’t you afraid,” she said in a
low voice, “of me hittin’ you again
with the pbker?”
“No,” said he, “I ain’t."
“And we’re too advanced iu life,”
she hesitated, “to talk about valen
tines like the young folks.”
“No we ain’t,” protested Silas
Safford. “I’m yonr valentine, and
you’re mine, if we was as old as
Metbnselan. And nothin’ can al
ter it”
