need anybodys help or company oh dear jacob jacob brand howcould yoa go and do that way and by way of proving her strongmind edness and independence hetty sat down and had agood cry all to herself truth told hester felt her brothers de fection dreadfully she had been so sore that they would always live together on the old homestead her read reason for re fusing nathan strongs offer many years afip had been that she woald nob leave jacob now he has left her and divided be old farm bat she has resolved not lo follow iff his foot- steps j no ve stood it this long and i can stand i t longer i ihe wooldssygrimly when she felt any signs ot relenting bat she soon discovered that it was one thing to live on a farm where skilled labor directed everything aod quite another to unkertake the directing herself i in dairy poultry yard and gtrtleo or among the sleek cows she w entirely at home bat with the heavier work she did not know what was best to do it eben s harp had not been perfectly trusty things woald soon have shewn their want of a head even eben could not do everything and it seemed to hetty that as sare as anything got into a muddle somehow or other nathan strong was on band to settle il she did not know whether she was most grateful to him or angry at him oae day during harvest when ebtp vckf chaoging work with the- hands on a neighboring farm a sadden storm of wind and rain came up the wind blew so hard thaf when the guest was over and hester went out to see if any damage had beea done she found a part of a fence blown down and some choice young cattle at libertylo getoot and wander al their own sweet wills this wont do says hetty ampi eben will not ret home these two hours or more whats to bo done t wonder 1 she settled the question by going to work at the fence herself even lindy was gone so there was no ooe to help her but she went bravely at her task but the rails were heavy and hurt her hands and they woald not ttay as she pat them she was so worried that she did not see anyone coming until a familiar voice said right at her elbow hetty btrifcm me that aint jest the work for yoa suppose yoa let me try it a spell- goodness gracious nathan t do wish yoa would answered hetty clear oat of breath the next minate nathan was handling the rails as if they were mere twigs while hetty stood helplessly looking aid not itbej v have been detained in town land woald ool get boa before dark bo she said to mr mills i don lieve it is any use to wait besides why need i depend on any man just bring the calf out ive got a rope ready and ill lead ft home myself wal now miss hester i dont seejist how youre join to manage it observed mr mills dubiously you dont well 1 do thats better you fetch the calf out tie the rope round its neck and give me the other end and hetty put her arm oat at the back- of the atjst mehit1ble8 letter there now the critters wont eet oat 1 said nathan when the fence was all p- i im mighty much obliged to you nathan returned hetty quite humbly for her sho taint wuth t child im glad to serve ye any way i can ye know we men maynt be very pretty fellers but were kind o useful once in a while with one of his quizzical looks at her he mounted his horse and rode away leaving hester to go to the house feeling very mach provoked and not knowing whether it was at the wind the cattle or nathan after the storm things went smoothly for some time hetty saw nathan looking at her in church every bunday but he kept his word and did not come to bother her such queer things women are she scolded him when be did come and now he didnt she missed him and wished he would hester had the finest herd of youngatock in the neighborhood w pro ad of them and meat to realise a handsome sum from them in the future hearing of a nice calf for sale on the mills place about two miles off she got into her boggy one day and drove over to- look at id with a view o making a pnrcbase eben had gone to townshe directed him to return by the mills farm so that it ihe booghvuie calf be could drive it home th uwal proved to be what jhe bad rteard ujd the aoop struck a bargain for it tfcea ejbe waited s reasonable itmefcbf n eb appeared and ahe now miss hester yoa haint agoin to try to lead the critter that ar wsy re mmutratcd the farmer thais what i am mr mills wal ye better not then a calf is a pesky frisky critter to drive sometimes i low yah see a sight of trouble with it evea ff yoar beast doot get ikaered old bob wouldnt scare at a traction engine said hetty and im not likely to be whipped out by a calf like that give rae the rope now wa there tis ef a woman wills she will i spose bat ef yoa get your neck broke with the blamed little beast dont sty i didnt warn ye sforehand i wont mr mills good day het- ty drove off leading the calf behind the baggy old bob glanced aroand now and then as if he did not altogether relish his com- ptuy but he behaved pretty well as loag u the calf did it trotted behind contentedly for halt a mile or so thn be- can to frisk and boa ad making little side- loog ruos jerking the rope to make it seen re she gave it a turn aod a tie around bet wrist and held on tighter first scolding bob aod then then the calf i havmg all she could do to manage the reins with oue baud and the jumping calf with ihe other every moment the utile beast grew frisk- ier and poor hesters arm wu almost polled off i good grscioaa will lever get home alive she cried in despair who would have thought of sach a time if i ever do jget oat of this her breath coming in pauu ill never toy it again i suddenly she beard a horse coming up the hill behind her it may be eben she said ob i hope it is 1 i cant stand it longer 1 she turned round to look back and see a large rock before ber i just then theralf gavs a spring jerking jthe rope violently bob whirled the buggy struck the rock and went over andalf horse boggy and wo man were tumbled together the rope still fast to hettys wrist and the beast togjng at it with might and main hetty screamed in spite of hermit there was an answering about a horse galloped madly op a man sprang to the ground snatcbed hie knife from his pocket and cuf the rope as the freed calf darted off he caagiiuhe lines controlled bob with a quick hand and lifted hetty from the up set buggy saying in tones of consterna tion lord aakes hetty whats up now why lam gasped hetty steadying herself by his arm a moment but what does it mean child it means i am a fool thats what see to bob please and down sat hetty on the rock which had shipwrecked her and began to cry nathan let her cry quietly while he righted the buggy and saw that bobs harness was all right then he returned to her judging her ex citement to have had its way and said come hetty get up the horse and baggy are all right yoa aw not hurt are yoa no bat im mad what at child becanse im a fool i tell yoa nathan wberes that calf nathan tried to look sober as he said n backing up its heels somewhere down the road i expect it isnt in sight let me drive yoa home and then ill hunt it up for yoa i can drive myself replied hetty rising nathan yoa always seem to be on hand when im in trouble nathan tamed like a flash his homely kindly face lighting up all over lordamassy child thats just what i want to be dont you tee yoa cant get along without me dont try any more hetty let me take care of yoa and help yoa always dear i might as well i do believe said hetty turning fiery red so you might child bless your heart i ton shall never be sorry for it and some how nathan had got hold of her band but nathan my farm oh never mind the farm ill rum em both now let me help yoa into the baggy as he did so he took one kiss to repay him for bis long waiting but hetty would not let him drive her home go be went back to find her ran away calf while she drove oo alone that is bob took her home tn his own fashion she was so busy thinking that she didnt care if she bad given up because nathan wu such a good true faithful fellow to pay any attention to bob indiana farmer city people 0 this generation are used to getting their mail every day envelopes paper and ink
