The Ouk Grove farm, orie of the best in the county, was owned and run by the widow Baines. The farmers around couldn't criticise her farming, but they shook their heads over the fact that she “dressed up” every aft- ernoon znd had ml]ers now and then from the village, six s away. She ulso had a top-bug and silver- plated knives and fo and she had the best windmil round. | These thin cised, were only e but when it Xucwn th the | wide hter cast to a sem d and pol- ished d women that stoced ‘ .qu(U g .

She wasn't snobbish, was plain that she preferred the \11- lage people, and there was hardly a day that calls were not being ex- changed. It was this state of affairs | that brought young Dick Redfern, the | merchant’s son, out to the farm. The widow's daughter looked good to him. Folks sald it ought to make a match, and no one was surprised, after the lapse of a few months, to hear of the engagement. “He's just the best fellow in the world,” was the girl's assertion after telling her mother the secret. “I never could have found another such girl,” was what young Redfern added as he told his father of the engagement, The engagement took place in Au- gust, and the wedding was sct for Thanksgiving day. There’'s a queer thing about these engagements. As soon as they are made the man in the case wants to be boss. He is as! humble as pie up to that time, but | at almost a day's notice there is a more She ate w Walked Forth ag Stiffly as a Crowbar in Trousers. chunge.

Dick's a purty fine boy, and I was glad when I heard of the match. Oh, yes, I'll mail your letter.” And then—he didn't. He carried it in the breast pocket of his coat and never thought of it again. Miss Min- nie looked for Dick that evening, but she looked in vain. The same next day and evening—the same for a week. Then she was both repentant | and indignant. In her repentance she weut and in her anger she cried out: | “I was a fool to give him a chance | to snub me!

Dick never got it, and now they i both golng to marry some one else! “By heck and by hen!™ dozen 1z won't do any good, You ave ruined two lives!” “Here—gimme the letter!” Lo ox- claimed as he snatched for it; and next minute he was out of the door and running for the widow's house. Migs Minnle sat on the veranda alone, and he held up the letter and said: “I forgot to mail it!" “Oh, Uncle Josh," she moaned. “Yes, went right past the postoffice twice, and, like the old fool I am, I clean forgot.” “I'm so sorry."” “Would that ‘ere letter have made | up the fuss between you?" “I—1 think so.” “Then give it here.” *“But, Uncle Josh.” “Gimme the letter!"
