The old man had filled his nine while - his wifo was talking, nnd now sat in an | arm chair In front of tho stove. [He ' made no reply. "YouH think I'm a fool, 1 know," she went on, "but,! keep on lookin' fur that air papqr.

Sho said, lota o' times, its bow sho thought t'wonld be ■ good match fur her, but I says to myself, 'You old sarptati that's cause you want Sam Oasmor fur your squint eyed niece, MalrJna Brooks.' She's been settta' her cap fur Sam uioro'n a year." Mr. Pottlgrew was a fanner in comfortable circumstances. Although be had but little ready money at ids disposal, from the proceeds of his form he supported his family well and gavo to each of his two children a good education. Myrtle, the daughter, now taught the village school. Joel wished to become a merchant, rather than to remain on the farm, and though tills waa a great disappointment to his parents, they mado erory effort to gratify him. Two yean i before our story opens Mr. Pcttigrow , mortgaged his farm to Jabox Reed, a , neighbor living at a distance from them i of some throe miles, and on the farther aide of the village where were situated ; the nearest jvetoffic* and railway tta | tirm, mi trrl! sxtho Bdux.! vcr.. p Myrtle • taught. The mortgage waa for 13,000, ■ and with the sum thus obtained be i a partnership for Joel in a west- i crn town. Before the mortgage foil doe , Mr. PffHgrew and his son together had i saved enough money to "pay it, and Mr. i PoUigrrw hfiewir miL (j* payment to Mr. Reed, who gave him a receipt i for the amounj.

fly. Otherwise, lie Jhould be forced to foreclose, as he needed the money badly. ' While still discussing this unpleasant ! i state of affairs the Pettigrows were in- . i terrapted by the entrance of their . daughter,, who came quietly Into the room. Myrtle was tall and slight like ■ her father, but with the bright complex- J and with a striking hcauty gf form and i feature poasesscd by neither parent. She laid aside her wraps and", taking a chair, I sat down near her mother. After n short i silence she said: "Sam has been wfiingmc i that Mr- Reed will not give father another i receipt for the one which was lost. 1 i thought this could not bo true; or you i would have Iold me[_but.

Overcome -with grief and ro|it-g-nsnce she felt on the point of bursting tato tears. She left ths rooui hastily, not waiting to sec what effect hcr.wcfdi had produced. * Mr. Reed scowled fiercely and grow red in tlio faro.

As hs went out ho slammed the door, then opened it, and, , putting his head Into the room again, , yelled, "Soon's the lawll git yo out, out , ye'U go." 8am Hosmer, Myrtle's lover, found It , paocsaary during the next few days to do , a good deal in the line of consolation, especially on behalf of Mjrila Hestrovc to oonrlnoe her that hia friqucnt pro., ; ence was absolutaily necessary to prevent , from failing tato the lowest depths of , gloom, and though sho laughed at him ; playfully for his assurance, Ws cbeertu! view of the situation and his hopeful- i were opprooiatsti by her and licr mother, if not by CyriL His many sarcastic remarks and suggestions did nut nlnsb Uie young man in the least, though they were often quite severe.
