which tumbled over the rocks at the back of the solitary shed which bote the appellation of railway station made an almost human plaining in the silence the ticketagent who oat wood in the forests when he was not on duty came cat and scratched his head as he looked around the glowing landscape there aint nobody sent from blossom vale farm to the depot for this ere train thats certain said he calculate they wasnt expectinvof you squire ch i sent a telegram said conrfenay sharply oh that explains it said peter pod- field the station agent the telegrams they goes around by puddle basin i they wont be fetched up afore this evenin at eight oclock heavens and earth man v cried courte- nay tuxning abruptly around you call that accomodating the travelling public v wal remarked peter podfield there aint much travel this ere direction anyway silks they ainf used to strangers and is it far to walk unceremoniously interrupted coortenav- to blossom vale j eight miles complently answered the station agent and a dreadful stony road- hold on though whats the matter v said courtenay impotiently if its got to be walked the sooner i get started the better theres lotty with her donkey cart said mr podfield ef shes a mind to take yon lotty whom what on earth are yon talking about said cooxtenay turning sharply around to follow the direction of his interlocutors eyea why lotty blossom to be bure said podfield from the farm kow i come to think of it she came down yesterday to sell the eggs and butter for her mother and stayed all night with sarah ann hale guess likely therell be rqdm for you in the donkey cart if yon sit close lotty dont take up much room hullo i lot lot lotteeeeee and making an impromptu trumpet of bis donbledup fist mx podfield hailed the equipage now dimly visible coming up the road a curious little urnoat itr coartenay thought an odd twowheeled affair un pointed and guiltless ql the ornaments commonly appertaining to village carts and drawn by a stout mousscolored donkey in it there sat a woman wrapped in a gray cloak with a scarletribboned hat tied securely under her chin- she looked around at hrfodfields call whai is it v said she a little impatient ly a new boarder for you folks said pod field can yon take him up to the farm oh yes lotty answered lightly if he dont care for a little jolting and per haps walking over a bridge- or two take care she added as mr courtenay stepped into the wagon dont break the new bluaedged plates- and be very careful please not to disturb the basket with the little gray kittens in it that sarah ann hale gave ma areyou comfortable now then go on keddv by the waning twilight ir courtenay could see that his fair charioteer was a rosy country girl with large longlashed eyes masses of wavy- hair and a dimple in her chin come said he o himself this isnt half a ba4 adventure i wonder who my fair boadicea is 1 and by way of beginning a conversation he spoke out carelessly are they expecting me at the farm oh yee5said lotty blossom carefully guiding her donkey past the beetling edge of a precipice whoa neddy whoa but not quite so soon your room is quite readyj though we whitewashed it yester day morning and kell will have the carpet down today nell kell is my next sister explained lotty with a degree of selfpossession that amazed the city visitor barbara is the eldest there are only three of ua oh 1 said mr courtenay and barbara is the prettiest too solemnly added miss lotty she is almost engoged to an elegant new yorker isshej courtenay could eel himself blush in the twihgbt hip a schoolgirl lotty nodded at the same- time en deavoring tb quiet the discontented wail ingt of thaj small feline captives in the batketi t- ob it will be a grand match for her t aid she j but barbejaisnt like kell ana indeed said mr coartenay and a sudden inspiration entered into his brain iiuppose this pretty sister of yours la very much in love thats the strangest part of it said lotty in a meditative manner she dont care for the man a bit no not a bit repeated lotty now nell is sixteen and i am fourteen bar bara says we are only children and cannot understand such things but nell is very sure that she wouldnt marry a man if she didnt love himtcot if he were as rich as arcrajausl and so ami butbarbara says her city beau is old and wrinkled and has gray hairs in his mustache dreadful remarked mr conrtenay rather chagrined isnt it chimed in lotty though of course as she says the older he is the sooner be will leave her a rich widow dont you think she added suddenly that the kittens would be quieter if you were to take the basket in your lap- and then she began to chat about other things the distantglowof the iron foundry against the sky the song of a far distant whippoorwill iixihe glen the name of the huge picturesque crags which stood like sentinels along the road i suppose she said presently the children are coming up in the next train whki children said mr courtenay with a start why yours the four little ones said lotty i think said mr gourtenay after a few minutes puzzled meditation that you are under a false impression you are perhaps taking me for arent you mr rodney ualston mam mas cousin from dakota ahe asked turning abruptly towards him not at all said our hero my name is courtenay felix courtenay lotty gave a little shriek and nearly dropped the reins then she cried yoa are barbaras lover unfortunately yes he answered with something of bitterness in his tone or perhaps it would be more correct to say that i was oh cried lotty checking her steed within sight of the cheery lights of the fassjl house what have i done its just as mamma and barbara are always telling me my horrid hateful tongue has run away with mc i thought yon were our cousin and tbat you would like to know all the news of the family and- now apd now stop my child said mr courtenay l touched by her genuine and evident grief there is no occasion for all this trouble we will keep our own secret you and i i am not engaged to barbara and probably never shall be but you and i shall always mind always be friends i like you said lotty shyly because you were so good to the little kittens and your beard is cot so very gray after all and im sure you dont look old but youre certain youll never tell barbara or mam ma yes quite quite sure he answered laughingand the two went in thetioose together the big sittiagroom was empty but the fair barbara screamed from an adjoining compartment lotww lotty turn neds head around quick 1 drive to the depot as fagt as ever yoa can that tiresome old coart enay has telegraphed that he will be up on the live oclock train and nof a soul there to hush barbara said lotty with a composure that astonished herself he has come already he is here barbara harried in forgetful of her curl paper and general dojialillc yoa little goose she began you and then she stopped with a small shriek j oh mr courtenay what a very very- delightful surprise this is v but the simulated sweetness had come too late mr felix courtenays eyes had been effectually opened by this time the innocent country hebe with whom he had fancied himself in lovcwasonlyabchemer after all j he who bad steered his little bark so cautiously among the ahoals of fortune- hunting daughters and manosuvring mam mas had come perilously nigh himself on these hidden reefs yes he said carelessly i was going on up to sky top mountainand thought i would stop here on the way i hope you are pretty well and ba was gone the next morning almost before daylight thanking providence for his lucky escape miss barbara blossom never knew why his- admiration had grown so suddenly cold and little lptty kept her own counsel but i never never will chatter so fool ishly to a stranger again she inwardly vowed away among the bills of northern n4w england were two infidel neigh bo a who had grown up to mans estate tinrnjog and blaspheming against god one of them heard the- gospel messajte and heating beuevtd udto eternal life short time afterward the converted rr an went to the house of his infidel neighbir and said to him 1 have come to talk to yoa i have been converted yes 1 brd tbat yoa had beea down there and had gone forward for prayer i said the skeptio with a sneer and i as surprised for j had thought yoa w ire about as sensible a mad as there was town wevsaid the christian i havi a doty to do to you and i want yoa to slop talking and hear me i havent slept mich for two nights for thioking of it i have got four sheep that belong to yoa they oime into my fold six years ago and i knew they had your mark on them but i took them and marked then with my mark and yoa inquired all around aad coald pot hear anything of them but they arej in my field with the increase of them and now i want to settje this matter i havo lain awake night and groaned over it and i have come to get rid of it and now i am at y oar option i will do just wjhat yoa uy if it is a few years in state prison i will suffer that k it is money or prop erty yoa want say the word i bate a good farm and money at interest and jvoa can have all yoa ask t want to settle ibis matter and get rid of it i the infidel was amaied he began to tremble if you have got them sheep you fare welcome to them i dont want anything of you if you will go away a man who will come to me a you have something must have got bold of you that i dont under stand yoa may keep the sheep if you will only go away no said the christian i mast title this matter up and pay for the shee i shall not be satisfied without and you must tell me how much well said the skeptic you must pay for them you may give me what the sheep were worth when they got into your field and pay me six perceut interest and let me alone the man counted out the value ofj th sheep and the interest on the amount and laid it down and then doubled the dose and laid as macb more down beside it went his way leaving a load on his neih- botrt heart almost as heavy as that vtbich he himself had borne the full result of the scene is only known to god ooe thing is certain tbeinfi lei
