He walked down hill slowly, knowing fiow Phcebe raust shrink at the supper table, how the constraint would drive her upstairs, and .how shocked Mrs. Holmes would be if she knew what he had said to Phcebe. A variety of stings kept him smarting, and he occupied so much time in his sauntering that it was night before he saw the lights of Greensburg.

"Oh, the wonder palace!" whispered Phcebe to her unresponsive window-sill, her voice hissing softly through the darkness of xne room. "J. must pus my neaa into it ior a minute and imagine things. I must pretend I am a little happy.

"Never uiind," called back Gurley. "She li let me catch her when she gets over her fright. Something's frightened her.'' ' Likely story!" exclaimed Tom Holmes. 'I knew that mare'd have some trick, and now you see she's unhitched herself.. Shall I come and help you?" "No," replied Gurley, laughing. "I won't have vou. She's just up here in a corner. Shut the door. Mrs. Holmes "will gateh cold." <;You better let me help you," repeated Tom Holmes, with merry laziness, withdrawing into the house as he spoke. "We don't want you rolling about here in j our way," responded Gurley. "Ho, Bess; come here," he coaxed, walking towards ^ 59 favorite, &? the dosing door wiped to tablet of light from the ground. But as he approached he traced another figure beside Bess, holding the bridle. "I hf;ve her," said Phoebe. "You didn't come out for that!" exclaimed Gurley. "Here she is. Hold tight to her bfidle, Mr. Gurley." "Oh, Bess is no runaway. At least, she wasn't before you put a premium on her capers. I am obliged, to ner lor cringing you down-stairs. May be I've been persecuting you vrith calls lately. "No!" said. Phoebe, earnestly. "No? Take my arm back to tbo bouse, won't you? There's a harrow or part of an old wagon-bed wrecked hereabouts, and the starlight is hardly strong enough for us to see it. I know the bearings pretty well, tVirm o-Vi " "Mr. Gurley, -will you do a great, great service for me?" "Don't you know I would do anything in the world for you?" "But this is so risky, so dangerous, I ought not to ask it. I want you to take me to Mr. Barker's. I am afraid to stay here 1" "Afraid?" said Gurley. There he stopped, without dwelling even in thought upon the probable cause. "You are not arraia or Jtsess, anynow," ce observed, with a slight laugh. "Or her present saddle, either. Will you ride her and let me lead?" "Oh, thank you." "Not at all, I assure you. And I know you can mount from the hand. That's it. Are you at all comfortable now?" "Yes," replied Phoebe. I feel safe already." "She must learn to walk, and she hates it," said Gurley, as they started, Bess giving an impatient jerk at her rein. I am having a lady's saddle made. Jr'syche Fawcett offered me hers, but it is hardly modern enough, so I'm having one mad? according to my notions. You said you'd ride with me. -But I scarely expected we'd set out this way.'" Phoebe laughed. "But I'm glad she hates to walk. "When you go home, ride fast. There might be something on the road." "I did have an adventure below here," said Gurley, recollecting. "Some fellow tried the crank of grabbing my bridle, but I marked him, and he'll probably get excused from chapel for a few days." "What is that by the gate?" breathed Phoebe, shrinking toward the horse's neck. "Nothing but a bush." "Oh, yes; I remember." "Our eyes will soon be accustomed to the dark. I don't believe I know the best rout? to Barker's. They live off the main road, don't they?" "Yes, and if we turn into the woods hera by the school-house there is a sled road which will lead us." Into the woods near the school-house they accordingly turned. The night air made a far-away aeolian sound among tree limbs, and beyond the Hollow, Guy's dogs could be beard barking at intervals. Phoebe cowered once or twice again, btit the sentinel object ahead of them always proved to be a stump instead of Thane. She glanced backward, suspecting that he had followed them; he had disappeared toe soon after Bess overthrew him to be far off. As Gurley's and Bobs' feet trod undisturbed ahead, however, Phcebe's confidence returned. "If you come to ham on my account," she said, ill would not know how to endure it." "Do you think these woods are full of wolves and robbers?" laughed Gurley. "As bug ago as my jacket days they hadu't aven a wildcat to make them interesting.

"It isn't any conflict," said Pb^ebe. "I'm only beggingyou to do as I want you to." "That's the artful way in which the wornnn'< Tv-iii a rift rates." lauehed Gurley. "But I will obey you," he added, with gentle seriousness, "even in this case, because your slightest wish is going to have a life-long power over me." "No," gasped Phoebe, feeling her heart close its muscles as with a grip. "Yes. My place is at your bridle rein." He turned his face up toward her, his eyes smiling through the dark, and threw the ooat around his shoulders, buttoning it un-' der his chin. "I don't want to be too warm while you are not wrapped at all, though." "And that's a man's obedience," said Phoebe, in a strange voice, which she could; not make playful. uYes; his loyal obedience."

"You'll want to see the fire," said Mrs., Barker. "Seems as if neither of you has on warm enough things." "You got my note, did you, Mr. Barker?" inquired Phoebe, as they entered the cleared space and sa^t the cabin's bay win-' Sow wavering with pleasant firelight. " I got no note," replied the master, striding in the lead. His wife walked by' Bess' right side and held the girl's hand in', her woollen shawL ; "Hut I thought that was why you were' joining. 1 seut you a note and wanted to v.'vn ft. wa.s liertessarv for me to see' jrou." "We heard tales," explained Mrs. Barker, in a low voice. "And he thought, and 1 did, iou, we ought to go over and see you." "Then you were coming anyhow?before [ told you any thing," said Phoebe, bearing heartily upon Mrs. Barker's hand. "1 got no note." the master repeated, :hanging his emphasis. "But impressions were received. There seems to be a demoralizing spirit abroad." Phoebe knew h? ivas casting a quelling look around the hni-i-nri as around a. large school-room. "And I considered it was time to investigate.. and bring proper authority to bear on thft ring-leaders." Tbank you," said Phcebe. They came up in front of the house, and she was lifted down by Gurley. She begged that Bess should be put in the stable instead of tied carelessly to a tree. Therefore the master, carrying the padlock key, piloted Gurley to his log barn, where the cow had her stall and was sighing that low tune cattle seem to breathe to themselves over the cud. "Orcutt is in bed," said Mrs. Barker, drawing: chairs before the fire and shaking away some of the ashes with which she cautiously smothered the boldest flames before starting. "You don't look as pale as I expected to see you. but your eyes are too big." 'I've been stretching them open of nights," said Phoebe. "I haven't beensleeping as peacefully as your boy since we talked here the last time. The log house and all the plans are gone, Mrs. Barker. And much?much worse." "Never you mind.

My blood has been heated lately and I think it needs medicating. Mr. Gurley, 1 never had the pleasure of sprouting your jacket, but your father before you has run many a race with me; he was a l^nrr lonraro/1 Inn CT-winded fellOW. and fail' iU ,uuO-'vSS-l o a wrestle. 1 know something of your stock, and I suppose you wouldn't be where you are to-night if you didn't mean to befriend this young lady." 4,I think I've declared my friendship to her, sir." "Heh?" said the master, keenly interrogative. " And it's certainly a loss to me that I've never been here before, to cultivate the good will of my father's old friends." 411 didn't mean that," said the master, with massive sincerity. "The generation coming in never runs after the generation going out. But you're welcome for his sake." Mrs. Barker brought not only the rootbeer but a platter of nut-calces. These she portioned 011 her flowered plates, and poured the beer into tumblers as heavy as lumps of quartz. This liquid might have been a tap of the very juice then coursing upward everywhere from the earth; it suielled so ripe of wood odors. " There's all the roots and barks in it," explained the master's wife, "boiled down and strained, and cleared with yeast. And it saves a doctor bill every spring." "Now, Miss Phoebe," said the master, standing on the health with his tumbler held before him and his nut-cakes bandy on the mantel, "you're not to feel that you're on trial.'1 1 want to be put on trial," replied Phoebe, keeping her eyes on the plate in her lap. i; Let her eat her bite in peace first, Ogre," begged Mrs. Barker, pulling a splint-bottomed chair to the corner opposite her husband and sitting down with her own refreshment.

''Have you no recollection of your parents:" "Only a glimmer, like fancying you 6ee a star between clouds." "In order that we may thoroughly understand your position, iliss Phoebe, give us a skeleton outline of what you do recollect." "I recollect first, Thane's whipping [me J and Thorney doubling his fists at him. We j were ui a great nuiw I dim to me. "When I was seven or eigtxt years old we lived in Pittsburgh at an orphan asylum. Thane was gone for several years. I knew afterwards he was serving out a sentence. A ludy in Alleghany City took a liking to me aud had me j among her children to help nurse. She got & place for Thorney, too, right across the street, because I was unwilling to be quite away from him. But folks were never so ' kind" to him; and the rude talk he heard staved in his mind. You can not cultivate Thoraey," Phoebe admitted, dropping her siucereglancs to the level of Gurley's eyebrows. "I lived in that family until I was in my teens. They were refined people and taught me almost lilre a daughter. I don't let myself think their name aloud, 1 made iueh a poor return for ali their care. Thane came back. I was studying regularly and the lady said I could in time be a governess. Bat he followed me when 1 was with the children on the street. He could take Tborney and make a thief of him. I was jsung and foolish. That was four years ago. I thought w? could run off from him, and tried it. Before I really went the children and the children's mother used to look at me so. And the servants whispered behind my back. I guess she was discouraged when she got a hint of Thane, for she said before that Thorney was bad enough. I ramembered that when I took Thorney away without telling her. For you see I didn't know then it was useless to run; and I was not convinced until we tried it so many times. We didn't run very far at first. We went into the country to a Dutch fanner whom the asylum matron knew. They made us work hard, but let us go to school in the winter, and the next summer I taught school near by. Thorney kept on working for the farmer and we saved every cent except what we bought clothing with, and it was well we did, for Thane hunted us out. I bought him off that time and had enough money left to bring Thorney and me to this State. I thought if we went to another State he mu?*- lose track of us. We went to the Dutch fanner's relatives, and I taugrn, scnooi mere ana xnorney wornea. We staid a year before Thane found us. Every time he found us ie took our money." "And no on? protected you I" said Grurley. "No one could." "Couldn't!" ro?red the master. "Wait till the scoundrel comes around here." "You -couldn't have allowed tp-.bJitcicmail you," said Gurley.

SOME UiNTv^FOR FARMERS. Wonders .4^coinj>ll?l ?. J. in France on "Small Lots of Ground. (From the Atlanta Constitution.) Man naturally wants the earth, or at ast that part of it which adjoins his his particular estate, but he makes a great mistake when he engages in farming on an extensive scale. Prince Krapotkine, who has made a careful study of the subject in France, gives a number of instances in the country districts around Paris, where com paratively ignorant farmers have made pmall market gardens enormously productive. One farm is mentioned by him of two and seven-tenths acres which produces annually 125 tons of market vegetables of all kinds. The owner of this farm* by building walls to protect his land frdm' cojci winds, wnitenmg tne walls to secure all possible radiated heat, and by the constant and judicious use of fertilizers has his little farm in a productive condition fvom the 1st of January to Hhe last of December. By simple aijri inexpensive means he has practics^y locatedi^ ?atin the tropics.

Prince Krapotkine speaks"-of one jardener Who has covered half an acre vith a glass roof, and run stream - pipe# supplied bp a small boiler -unier the jround sheltered by this covering. The eault has been that he has cut every day 'or ten months from 1,000 to 1,200 large mnches of asparagus, a product which-' itidei ordinary conditions would require is ty acres of land. But this result hsis >een surpassed by an English farmer, eho has made a one-acre mushroom arm vield him an annual income^ of !5,000. , Under the French method of cjtlture i .v'ouid be pos? uie to roaKG oijjfeqaare uile support 1,000 bumnn he^gs.

An eld lady of West Virginia asks, with anxiety: "Why most I pay 60 cents in addition to every dollar for the crockery from which I drink my sassafras tea?" "Ah!" says the protectionist, "is not whisky better than tea?"

"The worsted goods for my family is ixed 68 per cent. Help me pull that own to 40 per cent., will you not?" "No, sir; let your worsted goods go to rass! Whisky is more than a dollar a allon.

Won't you favor "No. ? want to legislate to warm the inner man, not the outer one. Give ua free whisky." When these questions are answered, let me read as a summing up to the gentleman what was said by an old farmer friend of mine in Iowa. He had evidently been perusing Sydney Smith on taxation: "I never wore any clothes that were Qot increased in price by this policy of , making an almshouse of every possible factory. I used to rise on Sunday morning from my humble cot in a log farmhouse, throwing off the bed clothes taxed 40 to 100 per cent., and, donning my clothing, taxed 35 to 100 per cent., eat my taxed breakfast from dishes taxed 45 per cent., on a table cloth taxed 40 per cent., and when the Sabbath bell* taxed 35 per cent., sounding its inviting notes, I took my Bible, taxed 25 per cent, and went to the church built of lumber taxed 20 per cent, and there in a Sunday school song book taxed 25 per cent, (ana all these taxes paid to the objects of my charity, not to the Government), Lread: " Far out upon the prairie How many children dwell Who never read the Bible Nor hear the Sabbath bell'" [Great laughter and applause.] What is the relief my old farmer friend recieves from you and your platform?" "Free whisky." Does this give comfort to his family, his purse, or his soul? Now, you gentlemen want to go among the men, women and children of this country and say: "We will not take the tax off of cheap clothing, cheap lumber, cheap food, but we will take the tax off of whisky, to make it cheap and common, and more hurtful to soul and body." Is not that an inspiring issue for a party of moral elevation? > Oh, gentleman, it is the old, old story. You gentlemen must have often heard it sung?
