flih they oanght aud what they trapped and ahot they didnt steal aa i know of bnt they were all tziortal shiftless and young rufe wab worse than either bia father or his mother ia fact he was bo allfired lazy if i roust put it id that way that evon the old mau fait diaounraged abobt bim young bufe was 22 before anybody suspected that be coald possibly have any ambition at all oaa day he saw kitty sylveater ho was the daughter of tho flrat manager oi the big parkley eafate old man barkley the graudtitbrr of ino present barkley who never oomes near the eatato- bad just pat tbo place iu a managers bands and moved away with birr family now kitty was a real aaneible goahead girl bbakno that tho sylves ters were aa good as anybody around the corners if not a little better and abe tried to live op to the family reputation in all ways whoo a girl her mother had been famooa for tbe work ibe could do and kitty was not a whit behind every morn ing in the winter she was np ftrly and got breakfast by candle light al day long abe wove carpet or quilted comforters or apun atookingyarn or did something else that counted every morning in the aoromer sbo waa up with the sun and evory day when it went down abe had ohuriied and worked morebutter or made more cheese or in sorao other way did xnora work than any other woman anywhero aronud oodld do arid she was the faviureit girl in the country everybody laid ilia was the smartest young woman goioff and natur all she was considered a bfhlydeslritble cat oh bnt she held herself mighty shy of them all for awhile- and it was regularly given out that no youog nam need ever think of keeping compauy with kitty sylveslor who wasnt her match both at working and saving 80 when it waa noised about that pun bate of all the world bad got hfao a pair pf qne boots a ruffled ahirt doeskin pantaloons and a broadcloth coat ami hid began to ahino up to kitty there was a general uproar folks couldnt belietoil a aral bat it wasnt anywhere near si bard to wallow as what came afterward yon see tbe ootglvdg tiit bad been made about the kind of a chap kittys hnwband wqn4 jiave 6 be had flfte ft buudaye and holiduye you may come and ueorae just once hero oomoa fat li or and youd bettor make arrangements to cut for blm on bbare toktttyd faiirpriao shirtless rufo stood bis ground and when ber father came in started at once to discuss tho proposed arrangement wakslist sylvester aaid rufe grasp ing the old mans band i aiut never been no great haud to work but i must havoaohancetokeepcornpny with kitty r and she eajs i may come- to see her after ive chopped cord wood a year lwpnt be do fnnhqt i most have kitty and if ive got to work to git her why then ijiave an thats all there ia about it sylvester was at tirat inclined to be angry at kittyjor jriilinc with rufe but coholud- od to humor the situation and bidding kitty leave the room told tbe young man be waa roidyto mukb a bargain with him k cau out cord word off the eafate on shbjfea rute of oourae ifyoa want to ill bot as do gomo trecp right uear your fathers bhauty on the other eido of the flats but you want to take off them fine boots and them doebkfn puns and that tbero broadcloth eoat and you dont want to put fhetn on again till yonyo worked hard a whole year yoaro tooshiftlebs to bs allowed to think a aingle minute tboat kitty now and i suppqno you always will be hit you neednt say no more mist sylvos- ter pat in shiftless rute but cauc 1 see kitty again jubt long enough to say good night r yea said ttie old man you may and ill toll her weve made tho bargain she huigfflted then he oalled kitty into the room as ahe eufered ahe noticed for tho first time that riifc dressed up wasnt at all bad looking and that ho atumed twice the man he had been before she kept quite eilent until her father had finished then she reached out and took jufed big bo ft paw in her own braalt baud a hand that was oalloused with hard work in spito of its uttlentsj mr puniiing she paid i hope youll keep your burgaia as faithfully as i shall keep mine after you have worked hard for a year you may come and see mo onoo whether yoa may come again or not wilf depend on youreeif good even ing mr jpuuning nobody fead ever ca shifllfiaaliiife mr punning before and the title scared him far more ibau the notion of workibg everyday for twelve long months from the time be left the big hoaae that night he waa fit to drop the title ahiltleaa next morning as aoan as it was light the- ebarp ring of bis axe was heard aoross tbe valley biting out the chips as ho ohopped dowm the first tree of the yearlong stent long before noon that day his big pulpy hands were blistered and swollen and by sundownthey were a eight to behold that night his mother cried over themand urged him to stop thinking about the proud atuokup girl on the other side of the valley theidearl muttered tho old woman between the whiff at her clay pipe white she dressed shiftless rafea hand do you think kitty sylventer will look at you just beoanso youve been fool enough to work a whole year why its puffickly ridikilis i alius knew you was a little light in the head rufe but i didnt think youd make a fool of yourself for no con ceited sylvester girl to this and much more of the same sort from both his father and mother shifilesa rufe mado no reply but wbilo yet the next morning was grey tho sound of his buay ax was sgahr wafted across the valley and this continued to tbo going down of tho sun and ao it went on day after day all the fall and through tu no manor how deep the snow or how stormy the weather rufe toiled oti onoeasingly when tho dijye were shortest in tbe middle of the wiuter he sometimes began before daybroak and worked after dark pplitliog the lengths he had chopped from the felled trees into fourfoot wood by the light of a tallow dip atnok into a lantern ot the pattern so common when the corners were new bat now rarely seen before spring folks got to going by rnfea ax and lantern in beginning and leaving off work morning and evening the siimo as they go by the big tannery whistle down the valley now and nobody who began to work as early aa rufe did aud worked till rufes lantern was out atnigbt was count ed lazy and rufe did more than chop cordwood that winter he learned to read and this both his father and mother considered a far more ridikilis proceeding yet more he went to meeting every sunday as regu larly aa the mqet piona and thrifty of the neighborhood not that he beoamo spec ially religiour as far as i know but by going to meeting he could get a glimpse or two every sunday of kitty sylvester and it was a little thing ibdeed for the man who was chopping cordwood a whole year that be might make one call on her to listen to a sermon onoe a week so that he could ait for a whole hour under the same root with her- 1 nobody knew then bow this devotiou of ber onoe shiftless noaooount lover affected kitty byivesterbutwo learned afterward that the sound of bia ax from morning to night echo lug across the valley became as mnaio in her ears and that the light of bis caudfo shining through the trees in tho mordlngs aud ovenlngs waa tbe delight of early and boan with quiok oaer strokes to cut a big hickory ho bad become an expert axman by this lirao and the sun waa not j ot high iu tho iky when the big tree oarhe
