•'cause ye been off ter the Saylersyllle
Cemltary, an’ come home toatln* er

jfln’ out ef you want ter smash up that
beetle contrack we writ In our hearts
afore you went off, and sealed with a
klssr
The girl, at first, widened her pretty
brown eyes as if shocked at his un
couth speech, but she met frank, hon
est, exacting eyes that nothing could
jconceal except darkness Itself. She
colored, and, with a confused "Ah*he-
'em," turned her face.
The big, handsome fellow continued
bis look of stinging scrutiny. They
were sitting out on the broad veranda.
jTbe morning sunlight trickled through
the web of morning glory vines In
front, and melted among the short,
yellow curls that rioted over the young
man's head. A sweet, soft wind came
down through the hallway, driving a
roes leaf that struck the cheek of the
young girl and fell down on her plump
hand—a tribute of the flowers to an
object prettier than themselves.
Silence continued for about a min
ute, when the young man continued In
Sna tones, a note of pathos running
through them:
•Somehow or other, when 1 beam
you was gain* off. I felt like you'd
never come beck to me no more—not
as little Eller. The natersl niter of

Canfield to his mother after be had

“They're out, plletj,, away In the
smokehouse, somewhar among a lot
of ole trumpery—what-ye want With
hlst'rles, Td like ter know?**
"Never mind, mam," said the youth,
as he went whistling out of the back
door.
After a long search among old
shoes, trace chains, dried beans, corn
cobs and other debris, Fred finally
fished out Goldsmith** History of
Rome, an old English history. With
some labor he read the Roman his
tory as far as the rape of the Sabines,
and, with a great grin and chuckle of
exultation, he laid tt aside. Then he
took up the history of the Norman
Conquest, but dropped it when he read
how great King William, when a duke
In Normandy, won his exasperating
wife. Then he threw it aside, and,
plunging his hands deep In his pock-
eta, strode to and fro across the floor,
hta Ups struggling to smile and whis
tle at the same time.
A few rnfnutea later he looked out
and saw Squire Watkins passing on
the highway. He hailed him. The
two talked at the fence a few minutes,
then parted, laughing and (lapping
their legs.

"Mam," aald Fred, early the next
morning, as he appeared In hla •beat
duds” at the door of the smokehouse,
where hla mother was compounding
some soap grease. *T want you to
drop yer soap-nuking terday an* go
ter rookin' up oome good things.**

When he had concluded. Ella looked
up at him, with a smile—a frank,
bantering, klatnhle smile. Affecta
tion was gone from her manner and
speech.
"Fred,” she said, with the genuine
frankness of mountain natures. "I still
think more of you than I ever did of
any other man. I deplore your defi
ciencies In the way of education; but
you are worth a thousand ‘doods,’ as
you call the town boys. Still, Fred,
