As usual?" granted farmer Brewster as he stumbled into the rocking in the kitchen and fanned his flash- | ed face with his straw hat, "A i of an hour wasted, very likely, waiting here, right in the midst of as fine .a hay day as man could wish to see. Now my mother used $0 have her Junch ready to the minute whenever we came for it, and I don't sce why --" His jeremaid was checked by the appearance of his wife, who came out of the pantry with a great lunch baskot almost too heavy for her strength. Farmer Brewster was a young man, in spite of his grambling.-- Only twenty-three, tall, straight, healthy, with blue eyes, rosy cheeks, fair, carling hair, and bandsome face, when not darkened as now, by a scowl of discontent, An only son, he had inherited a large and handsome farm, clear of mortgage or debt," which supplied all the wants of his household most liberally and gave him a nice little sum of money to deposit in the bank each year. There was no reason why he should be 'near; and yet miserly habits were gradually growing upon him far faster than he knew. Nor was there any need of grum- bling over the household arrange ments, since th® wife of his choice was a farmer's daughter, who knew well how to work, and who had taken delight in setting her home in faultless order when first she came, as a bride the pleasant, Brow- ster plaee, The same order reigned from cellar to garret of the square old house; but Mrs Brewster went through her tasks mechanically now or with a nervous haste and hurry that made them almost unenduruble sometimes, The constant dropping of water will wear away. a stone, and the constant fault-finding in which her husband thought fit to indulge had nearly worn the patience, the hope and the endurance out of the young wife's heart. The comfort and happiness of that home now hung upon a 'thread, by bour under the pain of unmerited lame. Yet George Brewster saw nothing of this until the morning of which I write. " There is tha lunch, and it is exactly five minutes after ten," said Mrs Brewster, setting the basket down with some emphasis at his feet. "I wasdelayed that much by the butter. It bad to be seen to be- fore the sun got teo bigh." "My mother always churned be- fore broakfast," observed George slowly rising to his feet. His wife ssid nothing, but the colér rose in-her cheek till the lost bloom of her girlhood seemed to have come back again, and she rais- ed her eyes to his with alook that startled him. Very handsome eyes they were-- dark, soft and velvety, with a werld of love and tenderness in their depths. Yet now they mot his own coldly and sternly, with such an expres- sion that he exclaimed-- "Good gracious, Letty! look as if you hate me!" "I'm afraid I dol" tounding reply. And with a swift glance at the clock Letty hurried down into the cellar with a knife and a pan to make her preparations for dinner for six hungry hay makers. " Afraid she hates me! My wife! Sho that was Letty Glover?" mut- tered he to himself in bewilderment. "Why, what on earth ---- 7?" She must be going crazy or something or other." " Letty ?" he called at the cellar door. ; "Itis ten minutes past ten," she answered from the depths of the cellar. "IfI don't see about dinner now it won't be on the table at 12 to the minute as your mother always used to have it. I can't come." « Well, if that don't beat all," he said to the maltese and white cat who ascended from the cellar and rubbed herself against his legs. A shout from the hayfield roused him to the recollection of that day's business. i LIE He weLt out and dispensed the treasures of his basket among the bungry men, who praised Lotty's You was the as- ithat," said Solomon Wyse, jug.

"So he did. And here's her good boalth," chimed in another mower 49 he took up the jug. . George assented vaguely. A him. Never had the two hours between lunch and dinner dragged so slowly. As be rode round and round the field with the sharp rattle of the mowing machine he guided in his oars, his mind was continually busy with Letty's looks and her words, and his oyes turned often toward the the cream=colored farm house be- hind whose spruce-green blinds his wife was busy preparing dinner. "1 used to think how happy I would be if I ever persuaded her to come here," he thought. "It is two years--why, I declare it is two years ago this very day that we married! I wonder if she remombers it; but it isn't likely, when she says she's afraid she hates me." Did she remember ? Ab, in that very remembrance lay the sting. All the morning, while she got breakfast at five o'clock, and washed the dishes, swept the rooms, made beds, churned butter, and prepared a hearty lunch for six men, her.beart turned back to that morning, twenty four months ago, when the bright eyed, rosy cheeked country maiden rose at four o'clock to complete hor proparations for her wedding day. How good, how kind, how hand- some her George was then! How his eyes followed her! How his love blessed her. Was it all her fault that the bloom and beauty of life had departed in these two short years? Looking back she could see no day in which she had shrunk from continual toil--no day in which she | had not at least tried todo her duty, And looking in the glass she saw how the light and glow of youth had passed from her face while ac- complishing the task, uncheered by the approval of him she loved. "George has kept his color and his looks because his work lies out of doors," she mused, "butI have worked in this old kitchen until I look old enough to be his mother.-- His mother"'--she paused with a bitter laugh--"I almost wish I was his mother, then he would bo suited with what I do." Noon came. The twelve o'clock whistle sounded sharp and clear from the factory in the village a mile away; and before the whidtle ceased alittle figure stepped on the side porch ofthe Brewster house and blew a horn. " There's a woman for you," eaid Solomon Wyse, admiringly. "Dinner to the minute, and won'tit be a good one." The dinner was indeed a success. Every dainty of the season and farm was there, skillfully cooked and neatly served on a table inthe cool dining.room--a table covered with a snowy cloth fresh from its fold, and glittering with bright glass and china. , In the centre of the room stood a a great china bowl full of red roses that perfumed the room. Letty's cheeks were red, her eyes shone dark and bright, and her words and smiles were ready for every one save George. ' As she sat, grave and silent, at the foot of the table, he looked at her wonderingly. She wore a dress of silver grey alpaca that bad been her traveling dress when they were married. * A large white apron with a bib shielded the glories of this costume. But why did she put it on ? Surely she could not think of "going visit- ing" this afternoon, with six bay- makers to get tea for and the milk of eight cows to attend to after- wards. Tho question burned upon his tongue ashe lingered a moment be- hind the other men. But finally he went out without asking it. The wife who way afraid she hated him, scemed almost like a stranger, although she looked so much on this occasion like the girl be had married two years ago. + As George neared the door lounging away the rest of Port Percy, March 24, 1880. ful they swallowed. excellent cooking with every mouth- dressed as neat woodshed where the men were fn dinner time, he heard his name ut- tered by Solomon Wise in tones of stayed his steps.

" And serve yuor right," chimed in a third. "I'll tell yon what my wife says. She saysit is confounded moan and small of George not to keep a woman here to help his wife And when I saw the dinner to day that the pretty little thing got up for us, all alone, I thought so too. Hang meif I hadn't half a mind to stop in this afternoon and help her to wash up that great pile of dishes and let the haying go to thunder! I'ts enough to kill that woman to have all that work to do. And George is rich. What on earth is he thinkingabout? Bat he'll be sorry for this a year or two hence, when we have to come here on a different errand." " to carry her out into a coffin," said Solomon Wyse. "YesIsnppose it willcomo to that if some of us' don't talk seriously to George. She don't look atall strong now, and her hand trembled when she changed my plate. It's a burning shame-- and if none of the rest of you will speak to George about it I will." They moved of to the [bay-field, talking as they went. But when George Browster joined them, Solomon Wyse deemed it prudent todiffer the proposed * talk- ing to," for his brow was black as night, and he had no more to say to his neighbors now than to his wife at the dinner-table. And his wife was affraid she hated him. To whom could he turn for com- fort--trom whom could he expect true friendship, if she who should have been nearest and dearest was an enemy in disguise? Lost in a moody reverie, he paid little atfention to his work. And at last, at three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sudden uproar in the hay-field--a tramping of hoofs, a rush of terrified men, a confusion of voices, and among them all George Browster lying on the ground beneath the mowing machine, bis right arm and right leg broken by the wheels, bis head cut and bleed- ing with his heavy fall. Meanwhile Letty, in the cream colored house hud not been idle. Tying on & great calico apron in place of ber white ono, she quickly washed and put away the dinner dishes and reduced the dining room to order. Tea was easily arranged, since it was to consist of cold dishes, with glasses of milk for the men. She threw a clean tabie cloth over the whole as soon as it was finished and went up stairs to the spare chamber to pack her trunk. "Yes, Letty had made up her mind at last. She was going away. Life had degenerated into slavery, unbrightened, as she fancied, by a ray of love. ! "And slavery will support me anywhere," thought Letty, as with trembling hands she locked and strapped her trunk, and fastened her few lines to George upon the lid. At the porch door she paused for ono last look around the house that might have been so happy. She did not intend to glance to ward the hayfield. the tall figure that guided the rattl- ing, clicking mowing machine. "I wonder I desert him, and then be will marry figure she sought. Yet, in spite of her resolution, her eyes turned that way to single out ifhe will miss me a littlo--just at first 2' she mused.-- « He can get a divorce, I suppose, if again. I hope he will be kinder to his next wife than he was to me." With tears that 'rose at thef thought of her successor 'blinding ber eyes, "Letty failed to see the seeanything ofit. It'sa b dent, but George isso strom healthy that ho will be up and rou again almost before you i We've sent Ben Hall on on colts for the doctor, and jt ust tell us ry hit J at lo catty bi Solomon stepped aside. She saw behind him a litter roughly made of hay rakes and covered with coat ; and on that George was laying, pals and bleeding, with his eyes closed, " Oh, Mr. Wyse, is he dead ?" she asked, turning even paler than George. "Not a bit ofit. Worth twelve dozen dead men yet. Only a bit of break in one arin and one leg, and a a little knock on the head when ho fell. The horses didn't kick, and he will be all right ag soon as the doétor sees him. Snall we take him up- stairs, or where ?" "Bring him in here," said Letty; recovers ing herself. : She led the way into the bedroom on the ground floor, and helped to shift the mained figure from the litter to the bed. Her soul was dying within her for fear) yet not a word passed her lips. 'When the doctor came he found a capable nurse, dressed in a dark print, who listened intelligently to his directions and promised to carry them out faithfully. And so it happened that as George Brew- ster returned to life the first words that fell upon his ears were uttered by the doctor outside the window, as he mounted into his gig-- " Yes, he will do, Mr. Wyse ; be will pull through nicely if hig wife nurses him. And , she can do that nicely if some of you will send some one to take charge of the house: She isa woman in a thousand. I hope he knows how to value her.' The doctor drove away. Letty. bending over the bed, absorbed in the invalid, bad not heard him. But she plainly heard fhe faint voice of George calling her name. 4 What is it, dear? "The doctor is right. You are womah of a thousand | 1 always knew it, Letty, itI never said it. So 1 tell you of it now before I die," he added, going off into anothet faint, It was all that Letty's sore heart needed. Beside that bed of suffering she spent two of the happiest months of her life, The first act of George Brewster on his recovery was to secure help for his wife, so that she now has plenty of time to get back her lost color and plumpness, They are one in heart, as one in name and home, now. And Solomon Wyse has never seen occasion to administer the threatened ¢ talking to." « Somehow or other," drawls Solomon, "getting run over by a mowing machine was the making of Georgn Brewster." And Letty and George think so too. S---------- Tho Leat is expanding everything except the timefor a thirty day note.
