Sarah I'.lake was neither very youni not\vcry beautiful, but her lathe owned the best and biggest farm ii Uorley, and being an oulr child, sin was accounted ai eligible match n thrifty circles. I) ck Sanders and Ted Hrant wert rival suitnis for her hand.

Nor did it weaken her resentment b divide it between the two. She hat quite sufficient for boto; and it bein uncertain which of them she wouli have chosen, in meting out her ange she gave each the disadvantage of tin doubt Jenny Allen was civil a.id polite t all without showing any particulu preference to any. Dick Sanders am Ted xlrant were foremost among he admirers! Indeed, the others stood good deal in awe of them and huni Utck, for tney were a pair of rathe churlish, brawny chaps, li tie incline to brcok competition, and whose i will few cared to court Belwee themselves the question of whic should yield was fast reaching a poiu where its settlement by "w ger ( battle" seemed inevitable, whe things took a turn which put a ne face on affairs. Will Harvev came from t he cit v i spend his vacation at his aunt's Morley. One day while sauoterini rod in hand, along the charming liltl river that wound through the va.ley vVill unexpectedly came on somethln that drove all thought of fishing con plctely out or his head. On a mossy bank, shaded by ove hanging houghhs, sat a young gi deep in the pages of a book, iI< prollle, wh'ch was towards liim, pr sented an almost perfect contour. T1 shower of glossy ringlets which fe upon her beautiful neck and shou'de stole a new tinge from every sliifiii glimmer of ilglit sifted through ll undulating leaves. Her cheeks wou pale and Hush and her eyes IIish at ixitriL uy tuiiis witu iiic yui n u cm i Lions called up hy whit she read. Will would have gladly remained silent spectator of a sight so love! but he felt that lie had no i ight to i so.

Bi It did not end there. For if W| Harvey's lirst stolen glimpse of Jenn settled her title, in his eyes, to b called the loveliest creature in th world, it is quite as certain that he ^ first impressions of the nandsom r stranger were hardly less exalted. 1 A formal introduction soon follow ' ed, atid in a short time Will am ' Jenny were so constantly togethe that the rural gossips began to tall ? of their engagement as a thiug quit Itemed. This was wormwood to Dick Sati 1 ders and Ted Brant. They began b look askance at WP1 Ilarvey. am were oniy restrained from picking at open quarrel with him by rellectinj 1 that he was a trim built, wiry fellow 1 who mightn't bo so easy to handle, t< ty nothing of the plucky look then was in Ids keen, dark eyes.
