Whin Jchabod ante rad the house of

In an» w world The low projecting eves
formed a piazza along the front capable
of being closed up in had weather.
Under this piazza were hung flalk, har
nesses and various artlcbs of husbandry.
And nets for Ashing Iri the river were
there Benches were built along the aide
for summer use and a great big spinning
wheel was at one end and a chum at the
other, which showed to what various use
this porch might be put.
From the piazza Ichabod coufd enter
the hall which formed the centre of the
mansion, and was the place of usual real
fiance. Mere rows of resplendent powters
were ranged on along dresser to dazzle
hla eyes. In one corner stood a bag of
wool ready to be spon. In another corner
was a lot of linsey woolsey Just from the
loom. Kars of Indian com and strings of
<irie«i applet and peaohes hung In gay
festoons along the walls, mingled with the
of pad pepper* And there was a
door left ajar which gave a peek into the
best parku where the claw footed chairs
and the dark mahogany tables sheme like
mirrors.
The Irons with their glittering shovel
and tongs glistened from a cover of as
paragus hrances In summer time. Mock
oranges and conch shells decorated the
nmntlepleee Strings of variously colored
birds' *ag* were suspended aboYi tbs
malnUeideee and a great ostrich egg hung
from the centre of the deling. A comer
cuptioard knowingly left open displayed
Immense treasures of old silver and well
men'led r*hlrm
Into this cm fan ted castle Ichabod had
to win his way through the heart of a
■in : iuett< beset tdth a labyrinth
of whims and os hleh were for
ever presenting new difficultl«w and Im
pediments And then fie had to encoun
ter a host of fearful adversaries of real
flesh and Mood- that is the many rustic
admirers of Katrina, who beset every
portAl of her heart keeping an anxious
and watchful eye upon each other.
NoW. aa has been stated, the fact was
that Abraham Van Brunt shortened Into
Brotn Bones was the chief object of the
fear of Ichabod Rrom Boms could ride
like a Tartar and he was of such a solid
and Herculeur build that he knew no one
with whom he was afraid to_D"y conclus

In a rural community, he was the umpire

seen tied to the fence of Farmer Van
Tassel on a Sunday night—a sure sign
that Its master was “sparking'' within
the doors of the farmhouse —all other
suitors passed by in despair, and carried
the war info other quarters. Such was
the formidable rival with whom Ichabod
Crane had to contend And—considering
•II the things—a stouter man than he
would have shrunk from the contest, and
a wiser man would have despaired. Icha
bod had. however, a happy mixture of
pliability and perseverance in hia nature.
To have taken the field openly against
his antagonist would have been nonsense.
But he wasnot a man to be thwarted in
ids amours any more than that stormy
Achilles of a Brom Bones. Ichabod. there
fore, made his advances in a quiet and
gently insinuating manner. Under the
cover of his being the singing master he
had made many visits to the Van Tassel
farmhouse. He had nothing to fear from
the meddlesome interference of parents
who are. too often, the stumbling-block
over which lovers fall.
"Baity" Van Tassel was an easy. In
dulgent soul. He loved his daughter bet
ter than he did his pipe and. like a rea
sonable person and an excellent father,
let her have her way in everything. His
notable little wife. too. had enough to do
to superintend the affairs of the farm
house-to keep her household affairs in
order and manage her poultry. She sagely
observed that ducks, geese, fowls and
turkeys had to be looked after—but that
grlls could take care of themselves
Tims, while the busy dame plied her
spinning wheel at one end of the piazza
hon«vMt Batty would sit smoking his pipe at
the end of an evening and watching the
achievements of the little wooden warrior
who, armed \p\h a sword In «*ach hand
was most vaiilantly fighting the wind

CHAPT ER VI.
An Invitation.
In the meantime Ichahod would carry
on his suit with the (laughter by the side
of the spring under the great elm. or
sauntering along in the twilight—that
hour so favorable to a lover's eloquence.
1 profess not to know how women's
hearts are wooed and won. To ove they
have always been matters of riddle and
admiration. Some seem to have but one
vulnerable point, or door to access, while
others have thousand avenues which may
t*e captured. In a thousand different ways.
It Is a great triumph of skiU to gain
the former, but a still greater generalship
to maintain possession of the latter, for
tlie inan must battle for his fortress at
every door and window. He. therefore,
who wins a thousand hearts Is entitled to
some ronown; hut he who keeps undisput
ed sway over the heart of a coquette is
indeed a hero. Certain It is that this
vvah not the case with the redoubtable he*
ro Brom Rones, and from the moment that
Ichahod Crane nmde his advances, the in
terests of the former evidently declined.
The horse of Rrom Bones was no longer
seen tied so often to the palings of a
Sunday night*, and a deadly feud gradual
ly arose between him and the schoolmas
ter of Sleepy fallow.
Now Rrom had a great deal of rough
chivalry in hla heart despite his wild
wavs He would fain have carried mat
ters to open warfare and have settled his
pretentions to the lady according to
those methods practiced by those sincere
and most concise and simple reasoners,
the knights of old, and knights- -errant—
that Is by single combat. But Ichahod

was too conscious of the superior physical
power of his adversary to enter the lists
against him.
Ichakgjd had heard of a boast of Brom’s
that he could "double the schoolmaster up
and lay hlrn on a shelf of his own school
house," and he was too wary to try this
in physical cambat.fi with such a man
anyway. Strategy must be used. There
was something provoking in the obsti
nately pacific system of Ichabod. It left
Brom no resource, but to draw upon his
fund of rustic waggery—and with all his
roystering Brom was inclined to be a
wag. and displayed this propensity in his
practical Jokes.
So Ichabod became the object of a
whimsical persecution on the part of
Brom, and his gang of rough riders. They
carried his hitherto peace domains. They
smoked up his schoolhouse by stopping
up the stovepipe and broke Into it at
night, in spite of its formidable fasten
ings. and turned thing* topsy-turvy. Th*
poor schoolmaster began to think that all
the witches of which Cotton Mather had
written were haunting him.
But what was still more annoying was
that Brom took opportunity of turning
Ichabod Into ridicule even in the presence
of the lady of his heart. And Brom had
a scoundrel dog which he taught to whine
In the most ridiculous manner, and
brought this beast to Katrina and made
him whine to show how Ichabod sang.
And he even asked her—Katrina, If she
would not discharge Ichabod and have hte
dog Instruct her In singing.
In this way matters went on for some
time without producing any material ef
fect, on the relative situation of the con
tending powers. But one sonny after
noon in auaumn, Ichabod sat enthroned
upon the lofty stool which he usually as
sumed to watch all the concerns of his
lettle literary realm, as he swayed in his
hand a ferrule —that sceptre of despotic
power, the birch rod was reposing on
three nails behind him. so that he could
reach it easily while on the desk before
him reposqd a sundry contraband articles
and prohibited weapons detected upon the
persons of little urchins who. with pop
guns and whirligigs, had dared to come
into the school as Ichabod was king in
his own domain.
As Ichahod sat there- apparently there
had been some appalling act of Justice in
flicted upon someone, or the scholars were
ail intent upon their books—as Ichabod
sat there in the seat of the mighty, and
buzzing stillness of the schoolroom was
suddenly interrupted by the appearance
of a negro clothed In a low cloth jacket
and trowsers. and a low-crdwned frag
ment of a hat. His hat looked like the
cap of mercury which we have seem in
the picturebooks of our childhood.
This negro came clattering up to the
schoolhouse door with an invitation for
Ichabod to appear at a merry-making,
"quilting frolic" to be held at Mynheer
Van Tassel's place, he his in
vitation with an air of importance and an
effort to display fine language. And, of
course. Ichahod accepted the Invitation.
And all was bustle and hubbub now in
the heart of the before quiet schoolroom.
The scholars were hurried through the
lessons without slopping at trifles. Those
were skipped over and pages were turn
ed. so school was dismissed Then Tcha
bod Crane went home, spent extra half
hour at his toilet., borrowed a broken
down plough-horse and rode away to his
fate.
