KELLY, “OWL mica That first gift was the forerunner of many such missiles. and never did Cupid's arrows fly with surer purpose. The amount of tiweetueas that shot over that fence would hare sngnrv-i a much more acid dispm‘ition than 3rsa I They toiled away the whole day with ‘no sign of yicl ng on the part of the besirged: an nut une word could Sam Ming to his aid. He would have given half his farm to have gone over and carried water for her, but he would as snun have walked up to a ('unnon‘s mouth. He worked himself half to death trying to keep from looking over the fence and late in the after- noon one kettlefut of sugar was cool- ing upon the snow. F At this moment another inspiration hit the hopeful lover. He took neare- fully cut piece of the sugar. wrapped it in a piece of paper in which he had carried his dinner, and when his divin- ity of the soap-kettle had her back turned, he sent it flying over the fence where it fell at her feet. Sam duck- ed down among the raspberry bushes aghast at his own temerity. Miss Sarah Ellen started back for an instant, then gave the offering a contemptuous kick and resumed her work. Sam went back to his boiling in despair, but when next he looked through the bushes his spirits rose higher than the tallest pine tree. The sugar had dis- appeared. Fortune favored the scheme beyond is wildest dreams, for when Sam came over the brow of the hill the next morning. and peeped through the trees, (there was Miss Sarah Ellen herself, lstirring a pot of boiling lye just on line other side of the fence. Sam's touring: almost failed him at the sight. ille had a wild idea of packing up his whnle camp equipment and retreating [bait and then. But second thoughts brought a Wiser dectston, He stealth- ily lit his fire, and when the tell-tale smoke bvgars to curl up masons the trees, he dodged trcmblingiy behind ' cedars to watt-h the effect upon his charmer. Bins Sarah Ellen paid no attention whatever to the. neigh- tmring fire. the treated the whole aG fair, as she had always created Sum with supremo Indifference. She car- riel Water and wood, poked the fire. stirred the lye and seemed altogeth-i er too busy to notice such an insigni-i flaunt {art as the proximity of Saint 'li1npson's sugar camp. At least ill seemed at) to poor Sam, but on the "lrde he felt encouraged when he} found he was not to be ordered off; and set. to work with renewed hope.| But there was one bright spot in ' darkness. Sam had resolved to make up by tstratagern, what he lacked in moral courage, and had that very day bit upon a brilliant plan for storm- ing the enemy's forces. Believing that position is halt the battle, he had ttirnerl his sugar camp from the hollow in the woods and hu g his big kettle right upnn the edge 01 the maple grove which bordered Mimi Sarah El- len’s back yard. This bold stroke Would at. least bring the besieged into sight, for Miran Robinson was certain to come out and complain of the smoke, and there was some hope to be gained from a parley. So poor' Sam's thoughts did not turn lightly to thoughts of love in this springtime whvn he refitscted that though both he and his lady love were upon the shady side of thirty he had so far not succeeded in even making her aware of his adoration. Having arrived there he hung with one leg over, in an agony of Indecision. The position illustrated well Sam’s mental attitude during his ten years silent adoration ot Miss Sarah Ellen Robinson. lhe result was the same this night as usual. Sam climbed down upon the losing side and plodded wear- ily humewam over the crunrhing patches of snow, equally divided be- tween a feeling of despair over his un- successful suit and a seams of relief at tracing escaped Miss Sarah Ellen's wraLh. Albeit, on this particular ev'éning, he had unaiterably determined upun his course of action: He roused himself from his lounging attitude, pulled him- self together, carefully adjusted his red and yellow cravat and started for the smart little gateway with the fixed intention to " do or die." It was none other than that of Miss Sarah Ellen Robinson, to the posses- 'sion of whose fair hand Sam had sil- ently aspired for nigh on to a. decade. lnwardly and silently, indeed, for al- though the love-10m si'eain had' lan- guished and sighed for so many hope- less years, he had never once during that lapse of time been able to bring his courage up to the sticking point. But Sam was not lingering to: ad- mire tlurbuut, of the exerting.” Be looked toniat the trim little house, with its cheerful column of smoke mounting straight into the air. A light shone from the window, and the shadow which ever and anon flitted between it and the outer darkness was the luadstar which attracted Sam's in- tense gaze and quickened his sluggish pulses with the fire of an all-consum- ing love. in his sugar camp wan prepared for the next day's work, but though tired and hungry Sam did not go home at once. He leaned his arms uponlthe top rail of the fence and gazed solemnly down upon the little house in the clearing below him. The sun was setting, leav- ing long red streaks in the sky 'tgatnst which the holes of the trees stood straight and black. The red faded into pink and pale green and finally deepen- ed again into the blue above, where a little pale silver crescent hung among the dark tree-tops. The white snow patches gleamed from the woods, the air was clear and still and laden with the sweet spring locate at the for- Sun Simpson plmd the sap buck- “! against the trees, adjusting them carefully so that none of the sweet liquid might he lost when the morn- ing sun set it running.

" Sarah Ellen, my mother uster say soap an' sugar was a splendid draw.. in' mixture." The clear twilight of a frosty spring evening was descending, the woods looked dark and sombre against the clear sky. The smoke from the dying fires ascended lazily. Miss Sarah Ellen was cutting the snap into cubes with elaborate care. Sam poked the fire for a few moments in silence and then ven- tured: And Miss‘Sarah: Ellen said she be- lieved it was. . This unique correspondence wascar- ried on for tho whole day when almost at sunset the last chip informed him that the soap was all made. Sam took the hint with reverent joy, and now no longer in fear, but still trem- hl.rryr he crossed his Rubicon. " Not much." Somehow this. drreeouragmg eptstle failed to dampen Sam’s ardor. He was wise enough to read between the words, so over the fence went another mes- sage: " Why f" And ' “Because!" was telegraphed back, upon a coquettish looking little CPiD. Which made Sam squirm with de- light The next morning he received his reward, for hanging from the cedars at the edge of the wood was a. strip of birch bark upon which was written, the mpssnge, laconic. but redolent of meaning '.--- Sarah Ellen’s. But the ambitious lov- er was not content with sending maple sugar and hunks of sticky taffy. Be ransacked the barn that night, and the next morning with the earliest sun- beams, came apples, butter-nuts, care- fully cracked, and even a small paek- age of conversation lozenges. And at last, brilliant idea! among love's wing- ed messengers he sent a white chip ingeuuously carved in the shape of a heart, upon which were inscribed the words: "Can [came and see you t" .
