much money i sanpos i eliall ttitch away until i break dowuj and tlica go to the rdorhaate thoagh i know i am no ugly that was a mild way of pjtlit it drasilla was aclfcsjty a bcujty she had velvetbrown eyes ud golden hair and somehow in her pretty parplc merino ehe pat one in mind of a iiansy all the hours she had spent learning hcr trade and work ing at it had not dimmed her eyes or bent her sdioaldcrs to le sare eic was very young ytt and this was the first discontented word the had uttered iu her life but two weeks at the scott mansion where she had a beauti ful little roam io herself and the sight of lux ury and happiness combined for it was a very affectionate household aodfullof good feeling to all the world liad made her think sadly of tlie hall bedroom at jtrs grimms which she shared with karah spnlt who was not tidy and told coarse stories she longed for reunement and a pretty home and books to read and time to read them and pleasant bring compan ions at ten years of age these were all hers bat her parents died and she was sent to an oqihanasylum and afterward to lcaru her trade that had seemed very pleasant at first and she liked sewing but now she gave a great sigh and paused upon the brijge that crosed a pretty river and looked down into the water and thought of old hiss shields who made bat tonhole and whose eyes were going oh how sad to be old and poor and with na one to love or be loved by oh she vrns going ts cry and there was a man coming over the bridge she turned to walk on and at the instant a sudden whiff of wind caught the little white sailorhat with the purple band that bhe wore on her gulden head and hisked if away cp the road we all know how persistently hats run away from their owners under such cir- camstancet as though they were sensate creatures and delighted to torment cs this hat bounced off on its edge and rolled like a bicycle along thtf road then flopped over on its crown turned a somersault and whitkeiofl again perilously near the waters edge leaving drusilli iu despair suddenly however some cue passed her at full speed a tall young man with long limbs who must have practised in base ball fields it was the stranger whosa ap pearance on the bridge had startled bra silia he was evidently bent on aiding her in catching bflt sportive bit of headgear now skipping like a highlander iu a fling to the bagpipes and in a briefer time than it takes to tell it had outrun the hat head ed it off and came back toward drusilla smiling do a buoutof breath aud looking the little dressmaker thought handsomer than any one she had ever 6eeu before oh thank yoa sir she said- it was so very kind of yoa he only answered not at all i enjoy- ed conquering the hat but he stood looking down upon her very approvingly bhe wag very charming one to fake a mans eye and he bowedandwalkedaway itnd she with another thank yoa tarn- bd from the fahorc road to the wood path which led though by a longer way ftittke scotts mansion they were sorry not to kaow more of each other in fact the young man aid that if this girl was a neighbor he would make her acquaintance while drnfiilla saidto herself one is very confidential with ones self eometimesl there that is he sort of a man i should ike i know it and he might like me bnt i 6hall never see him again and he is a rich gentleman no doobf and i a poor dfemsiaaker and things never come about in real life as they do hi novels nothing interesting will ever hapixm to me bat at this moment drusilla realized that the day jv4a to be one of events for here io the midst of the woods she heard voices and saw a group of men who for all she knew might bo trtuupn sitting about ou logs and stoned evidently holding an animated conversation to run away would be dangerous but drasilla fell fihat if she could but get be- iiind a grput reck before i boy iaruod their heads she might pass them without being seen the rock was gained but alas here was no egress wild and horny under growth blocked tho way ah nlo could do now was to hido hcrislf until their depart ure trembling she crouched dawn hold ing her breath les it should betray her presence and listened the fir words seemed lo prove to her they were not ramps for ouc of ihcjn pokc of the morgan mills a which they worked together and such words as he bosi ho foreman he machinery caught her car before an angry oath start led her and u rough voice cried kill him and he wont bring no more machinery down here o take be bread out of our mouths he says it mil give more work said auother in milder oues he dout s2ciu lo mean harm dont be a fool said he first they would talk you down in a week that machinery mean to many men out of em ployment well smash it even- time ycf yes but its the kiilin im agauiet said the other whats oic mans life to the starvation of fifty 7 said the first its this young martin morgan who works these things in the old niltu would keep on as they have been doing and not bother i say kill him there are nin alive yet who are not afruid of bland im one well nine tonigh t- llieti nino only martin morgan and doddles will b- there- hy hat time and crape on our faces loys mind that a general f of well be on baud followed and he smell of liquor came acrois the rock as if some one had produced a bottle then the men departed one by ie as though they had resolved not lo be soeu in each others company and dravitla hcgur to wonder what she coald do to savo martin morgans life she must not permit murder to l dene the men might is riut about the irurhiuory for all gi2 knew hut that was no reason for killing any one i must go lo morgins mills if 1 can get there the said to heryjf and that at oudc meanwhile the hastened o leave the woods and coming o a laborers cottage asked a wminan who sat listlessly ou the doorstep holding her baby on her knee the way thither them rvd brisk bn tidings yonder ssid the woman them is morgans mills but if you want work i guess yoatl wastfi your time goin up- my man says theyll be tumin off and not takin on soon on account of tocj machines yond think was alive they are so curious it dont inter fere with my mans work but it wii ihrow my hoys out and i gucss all the girli thats a pity hiid drusilla yt we think so yoa mar bet a dollar iid the womrii drusilla thajukti her and krpt oa her way it was a bug walk and a lonely walk and the sun was sitting whoa sbe reached the millyard the word people weregone and an old man was fastening up the doors may i mr martin morgan v asked drusilla not at this hour irid the man youd orter tav better tens- than to think it i must eee him said druiilk he aint scen folks after seen oclock said the man you kin come back to morrow tomorrow ill be too latei crid dru silla she lifted her voica a httle in her alarm what is that doddles v criid a gay voice from within the building a woman as will se ye replied dod- dks though i keepot atellin her its oni3sitibc never impossible lo oblige the ladies cried the voice some oue came quickly across the re sounding floor and stepped fet into the bare yard now lit by the last red ray of sunset all 1 he baid with an air of surprise and taking off his hat added yoa want to see tnc madam alone fcaid drasilla aloue if you pte she liad rtcognued the yuujg gentleman who had a wit ted her to capture her hat but that was a minor matter now it took few words to tell the story and the young inanv action wis prompt there was a oicecail iu the oflice and he touched it- we shall be prepared now he- said and i will not be hard with the men it is only that they do not understand but haw shall i thank yoa i only did my duty i feci myself very fortunate lo have been able to do- so ehe answered and you have taken such a journey mr morgan said doddles thai drive yoa back home t cannot leave the mills now as you may imagine pr i would go myself but my gig is here iua few aioments more he had handed her into the little vehicle fjiaken hands warmly and stood iooking after her as she was driven away the sweetest girl i ever met he taid and the very prettiest i wander who she is i whitlkrdidyou take her doddles he asked onlthat functionarys return to the scotts mansion said doddles shes a bit of a scamster the cook old me j martin morgan i he misses scott cried oul when tliey hearddrusillaa talc our cousin martin to think that you have saved his life you dear thing and they all kissed her you must stay to the wedding said mrs scott i as she paid drusilla and make yourself this lilac silk to wear but for you poor martin might be lying in mv grave and he is my favorite nephew and so it came o pass that drusilla stayed and that martin morgan himself teok her in to sapper and that when her girls were away on their wedding- journeys mrs scott would keep drusilla on one pre text or auother until christmas came and then all returned- and tliere wag a jreiit party and mr 6cott who was fond of lue customs ofihia youth hung up a bit of mistletoe hoi i and you know if a girl gels under the jhanging holly at christmas- timci a youbg man may kisa her without offence ana druailln who knew uothing about it stood directly under it everybody laughing softly while martiu morgan btole slyly up and just touchedher cfieek wih his lips j i couldnt help it he said afterward that they should bo alone in the conserva tor- afterward when ho told jjmeillnt tuat he loved her and believed ho had beguu to do so while ho was dialing that truant hat of hers uji tho road at all events tho whole warmhearted family declared that if they had searched tho world over they never could liave found a nicer wife for cousin martin thnn dru silla and so it came about that the little dress maker never went back to the cold hallwdroom at mrb- grimms but is loved and cherished by a husband who adores her and will while they two shall live the brakenans no ivhemtvc ituskiw tricks n all trades but ours a fine young follow was tom jeffreys atroag pleasant and goodlooking he was bnt eighteen when he brt b2gan railroadidg when his clear deep voice announced the stations people listened and made no mistake old ladies caught the gleam of hit pleasant eye sod let him help them off and on with flrslefal surprise mothers with more children than hey could manage tired women baadiemen and old men recogniied a friend and made use of him nor were the railroad officials bhad to the yoaug tnius faejpfalness and popularity and ilthoagb torn did not dream of it hi wasonton he list of names that meant promotion thft young brakeraaus easygoing rood nature howeier was a drawback in one direction he disliked to say no when the train reached boston he always had two hours to spare fu that lime some oue of the boys was sure lo say- come tom ils go to the bathers now this soaoded very iouocenl but in the barbers backroom was a green door which oxweed on a stairway leading down into a drinking saloon here the men ased to gather a few at a time and take a little something tom usuiiiy said his good hamcrhi no that meant a relacuct ycj and ended bygoidg he never fell whobyal ease when taking his beer he would not have gbne for it aface- over and over again he acknowledged to himself that it was the lacghter of his chums that took his courage away and so things went on a year slipped by snd beer hod become almost an everyday drink with him when one after- ncca he was aammoucd from the barbers shop folhe office- jeffreys said the superintendent when he eotered i haver been very much pleas ed with the way m which yoar daties have beeu performed on the road in the past and i find we need another conductor the gentletcau suddenly stopped and the pleasant smile was rouc mr jeffrey your breath tells me that you have beeu drinking only a little leer sir said poor tom flushing crimson am very sorry replied the superin tendent but that will be all today jou may go the yoaog man left he office downcast disheartened what he had been wishing for what he had so nearly gained kad been lost through his own misconduct as be thought of it the kooduaiared lipj took on a firmer curve the nexl day one of the boys said comin over to the barbers 1 no replied tom oh 1 come en whats struck ycr 3 that barber has ehaved me all he ever will was tbe acewcr although tows no seemed very deter mined ia its sound there wis something wanting in i he felfc it and when after a few days the real lopping for a glass ot liqurbegan to make itself felt it seemed as if the no woald be yes in spile of himself no use in lockio the bimdopr now said his chum the boss is stole the super knows yoa have taken atmuv now and then and hell never forget it belter be yoacg while yoa can tom still said no but the little neca- tive grew weaker and weaker the next thing it would be yea when this wis almost accomplished spurred by his dan ger and remembering bis early training in the right he went into an empty car and kneelmg on the bare floor prayed for strength to resist and cow he said i have learned to speak a no that all the mecca the road couldnt tern iulo a yes a story of the good old style yes i know the
