"If you please, ma'am, won't you give me a drink of milk ?" Miss Fydget had just come in from a long and bootless search through the pasture for a wandering brood of young turkeys which had been missing since morning. She was warm and tired; one boot was burst open on the side; her sun-bonnet lrang limp at the back of her head; her gray curls were in true artistic confu sion, and a vicious blackberry briar had torn her hands, until she looked as if she might have been in a skirmish with the Zulus. " But I wouldn't have minded all that," was Miss Fydget's melancholy oomment to herself, " if only I could have found my young turkeys ! They do say that there is a company of tramps loafing about the country, and--" Just then the mild voice of an old man, sitting on the well-curb, broke in upon the thread of her reflections--an old man, in a shabby gray coat, but toned closely across his chest, Bhoes thickly coated with dust, and a rude cane, cut from the woods, upon which he rested his folded hands. * Miss Fydget stared at the old mail; the old man returned her gaze, depre- catingly. " Perhaps you're deaf, ma'am," said tile stranger, elevating his voice a semi tone or so higher. " No more than yourself !" said Miss Pydget, naturally somewhat irritated. "Would you have the kindness to give me a little milk ?" Miss Fydget bethought herself of the floating rumor she had heard. Perhaps this venerable vagrant was one of the very band now marauding through the vales and glens of Rocliemont; perhaps even now he had a corps of bloody- minded coadjutors hidden behind the stone wall, or under the moss-grown roof of the ancient smoke-house. And Miss Fydget was possessed of several pieces of antique silver, and had $40 in an old tea-pot, on the uppermost closet shelf! "Who are you?" curtly questioned she. "A man and a brother," the old man answered, not without a covert smile. " No, you're not," said Miss Fydget, incensed at what she deemed a piece of unnecessary insolence. " You're a tramp!" The stranger smiled. " Is a tramp, then, destitute ol all the privileges of humanity ?" he asked. " Eh ?" said Miss Fydget. " Tramps must live as well as other people," pleaded the old man. "Now, look at me." " Yes," said Miss Fydget, " I'm look ing at you, and a dusty, shabby-looking figure you are, I must say." " I've walked fifteen miles sin.ee morn ing, with nothing to eat or drink." "That's what they all say," said Miss Fydget, incredulously. "Would it be any great stretch to your '»ospitality to give me a slice of bread and a drink of cool milk ?" he re plied. Miss Fydget stood for a moment pon dering the petition in her mind. "Look here, old man!" she said, at last, "I know perfectly well that you're » tramp; but I suppose that you're hu man, after all. There's a pile of knotty pine stumps under the shed; you may split a few for my cooking-stove." "But, ma'am " " I knew how it would be," shrilly in terrupted Miss Fydget. "You're a deal too lazy to work; you'd rather starve than do an honest day's work, any time." "I beg your pardon," said the old man, mildly. " It is a good many years since I split a pile of wood." " I'll go bail it is," said Miss Fydget, satirically. " But if you will get me the ax I will tiy and do my best," he added, meekly. *" The ax is hanging up in the wood shed, at the left-hand side of the door," said Miss Fydget. And she went into the house, leaving her venerable visitor to do as he pleased about accepting her offer. After she was within the four yellow- washed walls of her own kitchen, how ever, it occurred to her that she had done rather a foolish thing. " I suppose he'd as soon split my head open as the sticks of wood," she thought tft herself. "And of course he knows that I'm alone in the world--I mean in the house; but it's pretty much the same thing," with a deep sigh. "And who knows but that I may be murdered with in the next five minutes ? " "Thud! thud!" came the sound of the ax, descending with slow, regular strokes upon the knotty stumps of yel-» low pine, and Miss Fydget listened with a sort of terrible fascination, wondering ** she did so what sort of relation, in the matter of sound, the human tympa num might bear to the pine stumps. self. And with noiseless movements she went across the kitchen floor, and took down a rusty musket, which had hungf suspended over the old brick clumney ever since she was a little child. " I don't know as I could fire it off/' said she. "But I'll try, if I see any signs of mischief!" It was unnecessary, however. She poured out a bowl of milk, first thriftily pausing to skim it, and then cut a good thick slice of rye bread, taking care to secrete the bread-knife when she was through. And then, seating herself by the window, her thoughts wandered back to the question of the missing brood of turkeys. £ "lie knows where tffiv are, I'll bet anything!" soliloquized Miss Fydget. "And he shall tell me. Old man--old man, I say!" The venerable wood-splitter paused at the sound of her summons. "Come here!" she called. The old man obeyed. " You've done enough," said Miss Fyd get, inwardly rejoiced that he had left his ax sticking in the last pine-knot, in stead of coming toward her brandishing it in the air, Powhatan fashion. " That is what I was just thinking my self," observed the old man, wiping Ins streaming forehead. "And now," said Miss Fydget, sharply and suddenly, as if she fain would take him by surprise, "where are my tur keys ?" *- " Eh ?" uttered the old man. " My t u rkcyx !" shrilly enunciated Miss Fydget. My brood of sixteen white tur key-chicks!" "I am sure I cannot say," said the old man, with a puzzled countenance. "That's false!" said Miss Fydget, im perially. "If you don't know, your gang does! And I insist on having my turkeys back again!" The old man looked bewildered. Miss Fydget eyed him with a gaze calculated to strike dismay into the most obdurate heart. " Madam--" he began, but Miss Fyd get interrupted him. "There's your milk," said she, "and your bread. If you can eat and drink with a good conscience, knowing that my turkeys are gone, do so." Apparently Miss Fydget's turkey chicks rested but lightly upon the con science of the wayfarer, for he ate and drank to the last mouthful. " Madam !" he said, as he placed the empty l»owl within the window-sill-- Miss Fydget had taken the precaution to bolt and bar the door. " Go," said the lady, curtly. " But I wished to say to you--" By way of answer, Miss Fydget took up the rusty gun, placed it on her shoulder, and pointed the barrel full at her guest. " If you don't take yourself off, I'll flm!" said Miss Fydget, resolutely. And, upon this unmistakable hint, the old man took up his cap and trudged away as fast as he could go. " The woman must be a maniac!" said he to himself. While Miss Fydget made haste to take a dose of valerian to settle her " per- turl>ed senses." " I've had a narrow escape of it," said she. " But I must get rested as quickly as possible, and go to Lavina Thorpe's to tea. The Bishop is to be there, and I wouldn't miss the opportunity of meet ing him for $1,000!" And, between the stimulus of the valerian and the calm afforded by a •half hour's nap, Miss Fydget managed to array herself in a stiff, black silk dress, with a white ribbon cap, and set out for Lavina Thorpe's, at a few mo ments past 4. As she crossed her door-yard, a slowly- winding procession met her eye, return ing down the rocky slopes of the past ure-meadow--the sixteen young turkeys! " There they come now," said Miss Fydget, -with a momentary twinge of conscience in regard to the tramp. " However, it's all over and gone now, and what's done can't l»e undone! " The company was all gathered at La vina Thorpe's; the bent china and silver were out and great bunches of cabbage roses decked the mantel in gilt vases, that were at least a century old. "Is he here?" nervously whispered Miss Fydget, as she removed her hat in the front chamber up-stairs. " The dear man--yes!" said Miss Thorpe, enthusiastically clasping her hands. " Walked all the way from Sims- town Station, and met with all sorts of interesting adventures. What do you think of his being tyken for a " But here she was called away. When Miss Fydget descended, serene and smiling, she was led up to a pleas ant old man, with gray hair and a cordial blue eye. "Miss Fydget," said Miss Thorpe, fussily, "let mfe make you acquainted with Bishop Plavfair, of Cliinta Terri tory." " Bless my soul! " cried Miss Fydget, dropping her fan and smelling-bottle, "it's the tramp!" The Bishop smiled serenely. " Miss Fydget," said he, "you never can guess how deliciously cool that inilk tasted to me. And, by the way, I met a brood of young turkeys in a stubble- field as I crossed from the highway, which I conchided must be vours. Both joined in irresistible laughter, and in five minutes Miss Fydget, set at her ease bv the Bishop's tact and kind ness, was "chatting cheerfully away re garding the Chirita missions. "But to think," said Miss Lavina Thorpe, afterward, " that you mistook the Bishop of Chirita Territory for a tramp!" "And set him to splitting wood, and S>inted a rusty musket at him," said iss Fydget.
