BY KTTIE KOOEI58. The two brown cows came lagging homeward through the dewy clover urged on by n fair woman-child of ithe figure and big, dreaming eye?. ler homely garments were tucked up j about a stipple waist, discling a pair T ...a. . 1 of daiuty feet, bare una damp, and white as snow flakes. She drove the azy, docile creatures into the inclo- Bure in front of the tarm House door, and put dp the rough wooden bars lllO lOUgll un.o , with her own delicate, tanned hands. Tlirn Bh loaned nnrninst t. in nnner the rail and turned her ti otlese, exquisite face toward the cloudless, yellow west, where the young moon hung like a crescent of pearl guarded by a single star like a speck of white name. "I am so weary of this sort of life, she sighed, while yet she was enchant ed with the serene hush and dusky splendor of the early twilight scene. A nightingale awoke in the rich wu ow elmdowa beside the chattering brook, and filled the mellow air with a delicious burst of song. As she listened, a harsh, hard voice aroused her from her momentary ec- stacv of rest to the grosser dutie3 of the time. Why are you standing t'lere, Ba- bette? Make baste with the milking, will you T What an indolent child you are, to be sure." The inquiry, command, and reprov- al, all framed in one shrewish, unlov ing speech, came from a middla-aged woman who stood ou the threshold of the humble parlor door a woman rob ed in tawdry silk, hut in appearance quite as coarse and rubicund, and un- poetical as the scentless peonies that glowed in a row of red clusters be tween her and the shrinking object of her will. "I don't kuovr what I ahall do with that lazy girl, Mr. Kenwick," she said, apologetically to her one simmer hourder, who looked nut quite uncon sciously from a window arch of vines, as he heard the rasping tones ; "My poor, deceased husband Mr. Faxon educated her for a teacher. I got her a school early in May, aud two weeks afterward the trustees asked her to resign, which she did, of course, liking her ease too well for her good. 1 am sorry to say it of my own but for a smart girl she is the most fool ish fool 1 ever saw. Why, sir, 6he can read French and German, Latin and Greek, aud write compositions on sub jects that no one can understand, but they make the tears and laughter come though, and yet she couldn't manage a little school house full of boys and girls. I am ashamed of her "How old is she?" inquired Roy Kenwick. "Why, she is nearly seventeen quite old enough to teach the alpha bet, I think." "Quite old enough, certainly, if Ehe is gifted with the special talent neces sary for success in that profession," auswered the gentleman, noting 'criti cally the impatieut curves of the sen sitive lips the nervous restlessness of the lovely figure, aud the leuder, pointed finger; "but I opine 6he would mako a better artist than teach er. And, by the way, where did you obtain this exquisite little gem ?" He pointed to a rough bracket that held a tiny hand, carved of some pale wood, and clasping an exquisitely wrought bud of scnrlet coral. "Oh, that is Babette's work," repli ed the woman, sarelessly, "or her play rather, for ever since the child could useherhand3, she has delighted in nothing but bits of wood, and chalk, and stone anything she can cut into figures with a pen-knife." "You should have made her a sculp tor instead of a teacher." observed her auditor, dryly. "A sculptor! I thought a sculptor was a man," was tho response. "Nearly always, I admit ; but if a woman has been given the genius usu ally supposed to belong to a man by right, why should &he not be allowed to profit bv it ?" "Why !" iterated Mrs. Faxon, with an air of a wiseacre : "because she is a woman and has no business to toed die with 6uch matters." - Hut su rely that is not a woman 8 work," said Roy Kenwick, with ao ex postulatory gesture toward the iuclos ure through which Bahette was going, laden with milking pails, n pictures que target for the belligerent horns of a halt dozen vicious yearlings. Your Bahette is too girlish and dainty for the toil that belongs to the farm hands. Give her a chance in '.he par lor with your boarders. Put her at the piano, anything better than n mere chore boy's work." "There is no profit in the piano," answered the woman, with a dubious grimace, thinkiug how many precious dollars she had caved by the coarse labor she compelled her daughter to parform. "Then let her have her wood and pen knife," he responded, earnestly. It won't be long before she will take the chisel and marble, and then, she will na.o. m n M A . or 1 am mistaken. Give way, Mrs. Faxon, and her her own you will bo repaid some day. Would you object :f you thought she might win the love of some rich and distin guished man ?" "Certainly not," returned Mrs. Fax on, as her peony-red cheeks flushed with a deeper dye. "It i9 the aim and end of a woman's life to marry, and 1 1 suppose Babette must he a wife some I time. And I am suie I never cared , . .... .W.U. l" "Cl ,,cu a Slie went back to her kitchen duties full of new thoughts. "1 think it is plain to Sie that Mr. Kenwick is in love with my girl," she ruminated ; "such a chance must not be thrown away. I must pet a kitch en girl to do Babette's work, for he will be better pleased with the child when he sees her in the parlor. How queer that this line city gentleman should fancy her even iu the cow yard." iiut in her enforcement of a new re- gone, Mrs. t axon only dropped one tyrannical blunder to take up another; for Babette was as illy fitted to act the frivolous, fascinating queen of the par lor and piano, m she was to serve as maid of the milking and scullery. Ouly for the kindly notice of Roy Kenwick, she would have been utterly disconsolate. This gentleman was pat forty, grand ard handsome, but quite austere in his mein, aud the giri never even dreamed of loving him, while some thing in the quizzing, but interested expression with which he always re garded her latterly, filled her with awe and a shy fear. She came down to the parlor one afternoon, to find him and Mrs. Fax on together. She was dressed in a simple, cool, white muslin, looped here and there with pale pink ribbon knots, bawitchingly becoming to her dreamy, purple blue eyes, aud artisti cally arranged braids of purplish black hair, in which was fastened a single scarlet bud of some late , wild flower. "You must sing for Mr. Kenwick, Babette," said her mother. "What shall I sing ?" inquired the girl, timidly. v "What you can execute the best, of course, returned Mrs. taxoir, who believing hersalf to be a paragon of maternal discretion, abruptly left the two alone. Babette attempted a simple Italian aria, and in the midst of it, catching a quizzical glance from Roy Keiwick's handsome, cynical eyes, broke down and burst into tears. Her sensitive soul scarcely like j be ing the football of her mother's ca- pricea. j Instantly Roy Kenwick was at her side. "Are you ill, Babette?' he asked, kindly. "No, sir," she replied, turning her wet face from him in a sham -d way. "What ails you, then?" he persist ed, smoothing her heavy braids with his firm white hand, "lell me tree y, my child. You know I am very fond of you in the brotherly sort of a way that can never be anything else. lorae, tall me. Do you think you would be happier shut up in some solitary place working at such beautiful things ns those are?" He pointed at the crude specimens of her handicraft that adorned the homely walls, and tbere was something speaking dumbly on his keen and friendly countenance that told her that he had not been quite oblivious to her mother's darling schemes. "Much happier," she auswered, lift ing her passionate, lark blue eyes to his face. "That is the ouly sort of life I care for an artist's lifo." "That you shall have nn one condi tion," he said, holding tward her a small blood stone, rough aud fresh from the mine, and streaked through its greeu surface with red jasper like a dash of gore. "Take this and carve it into a scar let bud. like that yonder, in a set of leaves of its own nutural greenness, and when you bring it to me perfect ed with the artistic touch of which I think your genius capable, anything you ask shall be yours. J am going home foi a month or more, but I will fix things with your aunt, so she shall give vou Burficient leisure. And with a true politic duplicity, Roy Keuwick did arrange .matters with Mrs. Faxon, so that Babette was safe in a dolce jar n iente of liberty that she bad never known before. The month and more time still pass ed swiftly, and under Babette's deft fingeis the rough, sdicious stone hal been transformed into a gem of umaz ing art and beauty; for Roy Kenwick had sent her the bharp, cunning im plementa necessary for its perfection, and her surprising talent Lad made the moil of their use. Her task was done, and hiding the pretty toy jealously against her bosom, ehe left her chamber for an hour of rest among the wild roses, in a woody place beside a gurgling brook that bounded the farm meadows. "If tbi9 pleases him, he will give me anything I ask," she mused. "I shall ask him to Cud me steady employment in this sort of work." Jnst then she stopped, startled. Ou the low, green bank she saw a yung and handsome man sitting in careless indolence, his lazy fishinghne low in the water, and a big dog JolliDg beside him. "Walter 1" she gasped, drawing her breath hard. "Babette !" he said, with glad em phasis, springing to bis feet. "Oh, Babette, when I despaired finding you, fate has sent you to me, love " "I have nothing to do with love," she cried, with bitter impatience. "Nothing!" Sho pushed back his outstretched hands, and stood before him white as the dead. "Babette !" he remonstrated in won der. "Don't speak to me, Walter," she moaned, and her voice sounded like a sigh out of a sepulchre. "What do you mean ?" he demand ed, "teurely you have not ceased to love me ! Good heaven ! I have suf fered enough without euch sorrow as that would cause me." With one agonized effort the girl choked back every open emotion, and when she spoko her words were icily calm. It would have been better lor me if I had never loved you," she said. "You were a gay collegian, and I an inmate of the seminary opposite your abode, when you first saw me. To you oui nrst acquaintance was an amusing flirtation ; to me, it was a sweet and sober reality of love, although I must have been mad wheu I went with you to a distant village, and in that ob scure Utile parsonage became your wife. I must have been road, Walter Walworth. That night you left me at the private gate of the seminary. The next day you were goue. On the next I graduated and came home. I have never from that time until now.known whether you were dead or alive. Why should I still love you ?" "Because love is love, and because I am yours and you are mine ;" was the impressive answer. ','Babette, I .was called home by the sudden illness of my father, from which he as suddenly recovered. Then I tried to tell him of my new relation. At first he laughed; then finding me in earnest he became angry, and vowed he would disown me if I did not at once become the bus band of his ward, who, 'by the way was as averse to such a union as I was, and who has since happily married. I, in my resentment, left his roof forever, to subsist as best I could on the small heritage left me by my mother. I tried to find you, Babette, but you know that our courtship was so deliciously sweet, that in its briefness 1 had quite forgotten whether your native Green ville was in Thule or Cathay. I have been in a score of Greenvilles in as many states and have just fouud you. I have never deceived in but one thing, my darling, and if you will con sult the register of the clergyman whr married us you will find that the name of your husband is Wf.Iter Walworth Kenwick, Babette ; my wife you are, and as such I claim you. Surely our love was not such a light thing as to be outlived by you in so short a time 7 Babette had not outlived it, nor would she ever, that she knew ; and she said so in a passionate speech bro ken by a rain ot tears. 1 here was one moment lost in a rap turous embrace, and then Babette felt tho scarlet bud stir on her bosom. Roy Kenwick was coming to-night aud he had promised to give her what she asked if the toy should please him. She had often heard him speak of the disobedient son whose strange and tin- filial absence had whitened his hairs before their time, and hardened his heart iuto an unforgiviness that be af firmed should be lasting. A great light deepened in her pansy blue eyes. "I must go and prepare ray friends for your coming, dear," she said ; come to the house about suuset." As she sped home through the wild roses, the broad, coarse figure of Mra. faxon intercepted her way. "Who was it you went to meet, Bab? she demanded, shaking with rage. un, that 1 nave lived to see this day, you sly, ungrateful creature! You shall go back to the kitchen and the milking, uiins, after this To think after the schooling I gave you, you should turn out like this. And there is poor Mr. Kenwick waiting for you now, and you might just as well have married hi m us iiot if vou had behuved yourself; but he will find nut bow you coquette with strange geutlemen. Oh, shame ! Babette looked at her mother grave ly, but never answered, uor even paus ed in her rapid pace. She realized that if her romantic claudesthie marriage brought her no - ill, the fact would be as exceptional as providential. Breathless and fearful, she rushed nto the parlor, and placed her treas ure in the bands of Roy Kenwick. He took it and gazed at it long and critically, and then uttered ao excla mation of praise and delight. "Well done, he said : "and I have not fogotten that I have promised you any reward that you might ask. Now name it, ray lovely little lady." "Do you mean it? she asked, white and trembling. "I do, be replied, firmly ; "you de serve it, and I never yet retracted -my given word." Babette glanced toward the west ; the sun was just sliding ont of tight and a flood of rosy splendor fell upon her and him, and frowning Mrs. 1 ax on, aud a graceful, gallant figure that had paused just beyond the threshold. Ihe girl took a step toward him, her exquisite face suffused with the glow of the sunset, and blushes more heavenly etill. "I ask you to take your son back to your heart, and bless him and md his wife." The man started as if stung, and turned bis ace away, but when he looked again and saw Walter Walroth his first born and his last standing before him, with Babette weeping on the breast of her lover-husband, he re lented. , "You have won, ray daughter," ho said, huskily. "I bless you both." Mrs. Faxon, duly comprehending that the favor of her summer-boarder was gained ; and that something was required of her, came toward them all condescension. . . "Babette couldn't be a teacher, but I gues9 she won't be a very bad wife for your son," she said. "May be she will take more kindly to the. kitchen wheu she has one of her own." It was rather a queer and uncalled for speech, but there was a world of wisdom in it. Of course the occasion demanded not a few explanations that were given with mnch faltering and many blushes, for although the two loved fondly and truly, they were not a little ashamed of having forestalled fate by a hasty aud secret marriage. ' " ' - " "Wellwell, my children," said Mr. Kenwick, pater, at length, impatiently; "your escapade was as silly as it was improper, Gut we will rectify it' by having a grand second wedding. ' But perhaps Babette would prefer the soli tude aud study of an artist' life to the cares of marriage eh ?" The old. look, quizzical and half sarcastic, was on his face, and seeing it Babette flushed rosily. "She shall have no cares, and sho shall be an artist if she likes," observ ed Walter, gallantly. "You deny ber nothing ; you promised it by that fate ful gem you hold." ' He smiled, not averse to being con quered by tho two he loved bo well. And as a proof of his sincere affection and forgiveness, on a gala day not long afterward, he placed conspicuously among other bridal gifts, a beautiful souvenir set, richly in glittering gold. It was a curiously wrought blood stone Babetfe's Scarlet Bud. What a Long-Tailed Did. Yellow Dog The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise savs: An oia ieiiow just up iroru tne Kern river country says that one day while down in that region he went out hunting. He procured a fine, gentle horse and borrowed a dog that was highly recommended as a noser out of almost any kiud of game, from a quail to a full grown buck Iodian. Ha was told that the dog once belonged ' to some Mexicans who had taught him to nde, and in case ot his becoming tired he might be taken upon the horse un til a likely place tor game was reach ed. The hunt was but indifferently sucessful, though tbe dog seemed to be industrious. He was a long-bodied, short-legged, long-tailed animal of an old-fashioned yellow color. He show ed no desire to ride uutil a start was made for borne, when he came whin ing about and was taken upon tho horse behind our hunter. All weut well enough for a time, but presently the horse started oil' ou a keen run. When stopped he stood quietly enough, but as soon as started up he broke in to a run again aid could not be beld iu. Says the old man: "What had got iuto the 'tarnal critter I didn't know ; but preseutly, happening to look back, 1 caught that iufernal yal lar dog standin' on all fours, a whip piu' the boss jit as hard as he could lay on with that Jong, limber tail o'his'n ; be was bound to get out of that Loss all the run tberelwaa in him."
