JAKE, THE FARMER'S BOY= Jake went -whistling along the road on his way home from work. He had been plowing in the corner fleld. It was a glo rious evening in September?seeding time. Such an autumny evening as could only be found among the hills of Ohio. The sun had sunk below the horizon, but with his expiring rays had beautifully decorated the heavens with blended shades of purplo and gold. Jake sat astride his old gray mare contented and nappy. "The held will be ready for the harrow day after to morrow," he soliloquized, "then the next day I will commence drilling, and finish it Saturday. Whoop la!" Again the whist ling mingled merrily with the jingling o" the chains attached to the plow harness. Jake's blue shirt was soiled with perspi ration and dust. A portion of the crown of his hat was gone, making an aperture through which peeped his?I wish 1 could say blonde hair, but it was sandy, very sandy. Txis heads and face were sun burned and rough, while his feet hanging at the sides of the old mare were bare and dirty, hut all this did not interfere in the least with his peace of mind until upon tur i.\v.s a fork in the road he found him self by the side of Farmer Anderson's daughter, who was walking home from Squire Ford's, where she had been invited to ten. She rejoiced in the name of Rosa, this gii 1 of 17, with pink cheeks and sky blue eyes. Very pretty and innocent she lrviV:-| U\ hev white drcvi and floating rib bons. "How-da-do, Jake?" she said, with a careless toss of her head. Jake's greeting tion in his throat. Somehow of late he had very peculiar feelings whenever he was with Miss Rosa?such a queer com mingling of pain and joy, He conld not have told for his life which predominated or which he preferred. His pain was so exquisite, and the joy zo excrnciatiug. He slipped down from the mare and started the team ahead. He had a vague Impression that his feet would be less con spicuous on the ground than dangling in the air in close proximity to Rosa's nose. He wished ;:: a confused and dazed sort of way, for he had lost all control of his thinking powers, that they were not so large or <:o dirty. He would have bartered his hopes of eternal life just then for a pair of shoes. The odor from his sweat-soaked clothes had suddenly become very appar ent and offensive to him. She nppearc I so dainty and pure in contrast. Heavens! Stumbled awkwardly along by her side, trying to think of something to say. "Of course you're going to the fair, Rosa!1" he Anally asked, timidly, at tho same time breaking off the top of a tall weed that he might have it to carry?his hands seemed so swollen, in size and so much in the way. "0, yes," she answered, "everybody is go ing, I guess." She did not manifest any interest as to whether he would be there. He wished she would. "Harry Ford will enter his brown colt? the one he rides, you know. I hope it will take the premium, don't yon*" Then without waiting for an answer she launched into a lengthy description of what a perfectly lovely time she had been having at the Fords' that evening, and wound up with asking, "Don't you think they are such a nice familyf" An entirely new feeling crept into Jake's heart. He and Harry Ford had al ways been good friends, but all at once he found himself believing that an opportun ity to throttle Harr.- would afford him supreme delight. As they were now at the gate that led into his father's barn yard, Jake did not feel obliged to answer Rosa's question, but hastily bidding her good-bye followed his horses'to the water ing-through. Rosa kept on down the road toward her home. "How awful Jak'j Bally looked iLls evening," she said to herself. "You don't catch Harry Ford in such a plight." Hurry, knowing that they had company invited, came In early from work. Slipping up the back stairs to nisroom, he arrayed himself In his Sun day clothes, and came down to tea look ing like a gentleman. "Jake thinks lots of me." She lingered tenderly over the thought for a moment. "But mercy! 1 could never marry a man who went bare footed and wore such a horrid dirty shirt." Now Harry?she then went off into a pleasant little reverie, in which Harry was the central figure. Thus a little in cirl"nt will cmnptirnns ?lisnp ? wh-ftl.? after life. If Rosa had not happened to see Jake with bare feet and dressed in his work-clothes, I would probably haw a different story to tell. But she could not help having somewhat fastidious taster, and Jake as he appeared that even ing was not an object calculated to excite admiration. Jake, back at the barn, was unharness ing his team and growing innre irritable every minute. "It's too confounded bad it haj;i to happen so," he mutlciv.l, as he Jerked the astonished horses around. "If I c'uld only a-kuuwn she was on the i roa-i!" Eu dashed the oats into the feed- | troughs, giving the old gray a blow on the j half hour he had become very much dis satisfied with himself. He vowed for one thing he would quit going barefoot. He could not help contrasting the name of Harry with that of Jake. He felt indig nant at his parents for selecting such a name for him. Why couldn't they just tu well have called !;:;n Harry, or Charley, I . or anything but Jake. He leaned up I against the gate post sulkily, loath to go in the hotTse to me<-t the father and mother who had treated him so shabbily by bestowing upon him such an appella tion. "Juky, come to supper/' ?cvcuuiud ills i little sister. When he worked In the corner field they did not have supper un til night Jak? ?yron??:1 his t^i-thi racti I at the sound of his hated name, but went I in. He looked straight at his plate during j the evening meal, answering the questions j addressed to him Uiedy and gruffly. ! When lie got up from the table he went Immediately to nis room. "Wonder v. hat's the matter with Jake?" queried his father, as he prepared to light j his pipe for his evening smoke. "Oh, only j tired, 1 reckon; he'll be nil right in the morning." answered thu mother, as she ] shook the crumbs from the tablecloth. ] "You must remember, pa, it's pretty hard on a boy not yet out of his teens to work as our Jake does. Though, to be I sure,"' sue added ihougntfmiy, "he s un- j common stout" "Pooh!" -aid the father, "it's not that. him agin any other hand in the county." j "I saw him and Rosa Anderson coniiu' [ chimed in the little daughter. The father | and mother exchanged significant j ?--"; i.? ' c i to i the conversation. Ana JttKe uid cume to ins bl'euKlast ap parently all right. His ill humor had vanished with his dreams. The only thing Unusual about him was that he had his | shoes on. "WhM's the mattctfJu^jalied his I mother, looking mqahingry a* his feet, j Jake blushed a little for a moment. He was tempted to make the excuse that his feet were sore, but he was an honest boy, and he blurted out the truth. "He did not like to go barefooted, and he wasn't going to any mora" The mother suspected that Rosa Ander son was the cause of this change in her son, and she felt that twinge of pain and jealousy that all mothers feel when they first become aware of the fact that a cuiiu's heart i?? ^?aa wi? &> .1 agaL^.'?.. But she was in the main 'a sensible woman, so .-lie said nothing mere and Jure started for the corner Held. The sun, a red ball, was ju<t peeping over the tops of the tree?, the birds were twittering softly among the branches, for boisterous singing was impossible. This lovely, hazy autumn morning Jake's heart swelled with an undelinable sense of enjoyment as he drank in the delights of nature, and iie broke into whistliag as musical as the songs of the birds. His j.^.j^:iLj heard tis>m wL**? on the house-steps. "Oh, Jake's all right," said the father, reassuringly, as his son disappeared from sight, but the mother turned into the hous'e with a sigh. She could not help thinking of Rosa Ander son, and wondering how it would all turr out. A little later on, when the corn stood in shocks and the frost had shriveled the leaves somewhat, Jake attended a "sing ing" held at the district school-house. All 1 were there. Conspicuous among them was Rosa Anderson, captivating with her ra diant beauty and coquettish ways?at There was a long recess, during which games were played out of doors by the light of the moon. Once while these games were in process Jake held Rosa's kand in his, and he was afraid she would hear his heart thumping against his vest, ile forgot himself and cru?k?( we iitiie hand in his great poT^x-ful ptttm. She complained that he was rough. Then he took it tenderly in both of his, but she jerked it away and ran off. When the singing had closed and the young people were filing slowly out of the house, Jake, ever impulsive, and too madly in love to bo discreet, pushed for ward, offering bis arm to escort Ru^a home, but she, witli nose tilted in the air, gave him the "mitten." The boys nudged each other and cast quizzing glances at him. A few openly jeered him. He. got out of tka hous" as wen its iie couiu, unu cue across utu ueius toward home. VVhen he reiicheO his fath er's farm he sat down on a log on the edge of a little patch of timber. I doubt if the moon ever looked down upon greater mis ery. He sat there for a long time, the agony in his heart wringing bitter tears from his eyes. Do not laugh, reader; you have been in a similar situation and know it was not t. laughable matter. But he stayed there until he had strangle.! his love, and he dug a grave in which tu bury it?a grave so deep that when once interred, it could never be resurrected. Ah, if shii had only known tvhtJ th;> had lost. The struggle was over; he wiped his face and put away his handkerchief. Then he stood up and with clenched fists vowed he would have his revenge, Sue shonld'see the day she would regret what she had done to-night. WLeu Jake reached his father's door j there was a faint streak of light in the east, and the barnyard fowls were begin ning to stir. His mother let him in; she bud been watching for him. He looked her square in the face. She saw, though tiie caudle she held in hef hand gave bur. a dim light, that her boy had suddenly changed to a man, and her mother's hear: understood. The two gazed iuto each other's eyes for a moment. Tk? son saw an expression of tender sympathy. The mother saw one of determination and de fiance. She knew something was going to happen, and she feit that she baud Rosa Anderson. x Jake helped.his father through with the fall work. Then he quietly told his parents he was going to visit his uncle in Kansas, and if he could find an opening there for himself he would remain. His mother was prepared for such an an- J nouueement, but it was a great shock to the father, ft had never occurred to him that his son would do else than remain on ; the farm, and finally, when be was done j Win? it, taxe- possession. He uid every-] thing in his power to dissuade his son from his "fool notion," us the father called it, but to no purpose. The only concession Jake would make was that perhaps he i would come back in the spring. But ? spring came and grew into summer and the summer into autumn, yet the fathei i -.'?'!' mourned th? los? of his i?y. Thea ; came the news that Jake had entered us t: i student in .1 law office in the town of S-, Kan. As the years sped on reports much to his credit were circulated among his old friends and neighbors. Hard work and hon&<>t endeavor were bringing then legitimate fruit, success. Apparently he had forgotten all abont Bow and the re-1 veuge ne nau once craved. After Jake lmd gone, Rosa Anderson, j with an inconsistency not uncommon in ? females, felt a new tenderness springing ' up in her heart for him. and a regret thai ' her li;tie episode at the school house had ever happened. As time passed both the tenderness and the regrc' grew. She cherished a sort ot ideal with Jake's face and lorn. She forgot or forgave every thing she had condemned in him before he went a.v.T., and invested him with maaj noble attributes which, worthy as he wa>. truth compels me to say :>'? did not po? >??.>:3 S'i-. ? {."..;? \!>. }r\u.r r!:-*f-.. ??: ??!.; come back to her until ii became 11 cer- . tainty. She was sure she would again feel the pressure of his hand and see the look 1 u.' iuioiuliuii in iiia eyes, bosnewuiieu. Her friend ) wondered why she did no! 1 marry. There were many conjectures con- ; ,.(.,.,.;,,r-I,.,! ,r ,),., ::,i])t >??. little we know of the real feelings of those with whom we may be even intimately as sociated: Ten years had passed since Jake left the ueighbi rhoo.'. During this tijne there were many changes. Some ot his e-.i-r., companions hud married and were settled down into staid fathers and mothers A : few of both old and young had been laid to re.it in the little country graveyard, ! where in summer the briers nud weeds l.Cj.l watch over the:;- gru\C3, :.. ? the bleak winds sang dirges for them. Rut. none that we know were among these si ll was September, and invitations were 1 seat out for Harry Ford's wedding. Rosa j Anderson was not to be th* bride. Iml Janes Msier, uow a woman ot SO. Rosa was among the invited. She was perfectly i !nd'ffnren! ncto "'ho? Harrv izuwi"']. .-'"e had long ceased to feel anything but a 1 greatly agitated when she heard that Juko j was coming home to be present at his sis- | ter's marriage. . A few days before' the one on which the j wedding was to take place an item of news appeared in The Morning Star, the princi pal paper of B-, the county seat. It read something like this; "We are glad to be able to chronicle the fact that Mr. I Jacob Baily, lormerlyof this county, but for the last ten years a resident of S-, j Kas., has formed a partnership with one ? of our prominent lawyers, Barnabas King, j Esq. Mr. Baily's past record is an envi- j aide one. Our little city is to be congratu lated upon the acquisition of so lumdsome j and distinguished u citizen. Wo extend a i hearty welcome,3 Rosa read- this item and ciasped her hands in silent ecstasy. '"0 joy," she , thought, "he has really come and my ; wailing is over. Will he call:' Ah, per- i haps be will be too timid because of that deplorable action of mine ten years ago. I must explain to him as soon as possible I how I have regretted that. But it will come all right. I feel it in my bones, as grandma used to say when she had a pre sentiment," and Kosa, leaning her chin on i ?iu Land, sat lua^ in meanation, the while smiling softly to herself. Jake did not call. The hour of the wed ding arrived, and with it the invited guests. Kosa, not less lovely at sJ7 than at 17, held out her hand timidly to the hand some fellow Mrs. Baily proudly introduced as her son Jacob. Mrs. Bailey's hatred for Rosa had died gradually as her son climbed up fortune's bidder, and when ; he came back to her a great man she felt a genuine pitv for that poor, mis Could it be possible that this graceful, j . iutellectual-looking man was Jake Baily? I ' Rosa pressed her hand to her heart to still pick up the handkerchief she had J dropped'in her confusion, and after some polite remarks passed on. j He treated his old friends affably and courteously. They all called him Mr. Bally, with an added tone of respect quite unTci'eut from flic olu-tiiiie saiuuuiis. After the marriage ceremony was over and refreshments had been served the company strolled about the yard, amus ing themselves in various ways. Rosa found herself alone with Jake a few minutes. She deftly turned the con versation to old times. "0! Mr. Baily," she said, looking wistfully into his face, "I have regretted very much a little in cident that happened at our school-house many years ago. You may have forgotten it." He was regarding her so calmly and coldly she became painfully embarrassed. "I often came near writing to you how ...i.j 1 bift?ilj?llb t Utld taCbeil?tum IS, juii know," she ?nspod, "I wanted to be friends."' Poor Rosa could get no farther. She heartily wished she had not under taken to say anything to him about the matter. He drew himself up. "Miss Rosa," he answered, "that little incident proved the turning point in my life. But for you 1 would probably be still working on my father's farm, ragged and bare footed." .There was a gleam of mis chief in his eyes. ''So I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you acted just as yoii did that night at the old school house. And," he .added with a frank, cheery laugh, "let us hope that when 1 'a-wooing go" again I shall have better luck. At present my only love is ambition." Look ing at his watch, he said he had an ap pointment at B-and wus obliged to ' leave. He lifted his hat politely and was gone. He had his revenge after he had j long since ceased to care for it. But ' she? Ah: well, her waiting for Jake was over. This happened some fifteen years back. Now, as Hon. Jacob Bailey rides through the streets of B-with his wife and chil dren?he married the daughter of a wealthy merchant? his fellow-townsmen point to him with pride as a "smart fel low." He has been in the state 'legis , lature and hopes soon to be sent to con gress. Ro.-a Anderson still lives with her mother on the old homestead, her father having died y??'::;?? ago. Her hair is silver ing: and the blue eyes have faded to a light gray. There is in them a look of pain and disappointment, while the once , rounded cheeks are sadly sunken. The neighbors astonish strangers by telling them that "Rosa was once the prettiest girl in the whole county, and there was a time she could have married Hon.
