After farmer Remsen's wife had
strained the evening milk and got
things ready for an early breakfast
she came out on the veranda where
her husband sat smoking and sat
down with a bump and a sigh. Two
or three minutes passed and then the
husband remarked:
“I'm gittin’ riled up.”
“You don't mean mad?” was asked.
. “Yes, I do.”
“But what in beeswax has riled
you? The spotted cow didn't kick
you again tonight, did she?
“No, it ain't the spotted cow. It's
the way things are goin’ around this
house and the time has come when
I want to know all about it.”
“I didn't know as anything dread
ful had happened,” replied the wife
after a moment. “The meals are be
ing cooked and the beds made the
same as usual. I guess you've gof
prickly heat.”
“And T guess you'n Kitty take me
for a fool!”
“Look here, pa” sald the wife in #
soothing way, “it would be better for
you to ‘tend to the outdoor work and
leave me to manage inside. But If
you won't do it T spose I'll have tc
tell you something. It don’t amount
to shucks, but you've got to know or
bust. Our Kitty and Earl Andrews
have quarreled.”
“You don't say!” exclaimed pa with
such vigor that he bit off the stem
of his pipe.
+ “There you go! You'll be falling
off your chair next!”
“But they've quarreled! Bless m)
cats, but I thought something was
up. I asked about Earl three or four
days ago and you turned me off. Sc
they've had a row and won't get mar
ried?
“What & man you are, pa! S'pose
they have quarreled? Young folks ir
love always quarrel. You'n me quar
reled.”
“But we made it up.”
“So will they if some idiot don't
spile everything.” .
“And that's the reason Kitty Is
moonin’ around and eatin’ nuthin’ but
tea and toast?” he asked after hitch
ing around for a while,
“She ain't goin’ to dle over it. 1
don't want you to say a word or tc
pretend to notice anything. It's not
for the girl's father to mix in such
things. You jest leave it to me.”
“But women ain't got heads for
business.”
“Is this business, you old sunflow

er?” exclaimed the wife. “Do you
think you can patch up a lovers’
quarrel the same as you sell butter'n
eggs? No, sir, and that's why I tell
you to keep hands off.”
“Yes; but mebbe I'll have to go to
Earl and threaten to lick him.”
“Hiram Remsen, have you lost the
little sense you ever had?” was flung
at him like a stone. “Jest hear me,
now. You shet up as tight as a clam!
Don’t you peep! Don't you notice
anything! Don’t you mix in 'tall, If
‘you do—1"
When Miss Kitty returned from
school there had been admiration,
love, an engagement and a quarrel.
There are forty different things lov-
‘ers can do and quarrel about, and so
‘why specify the one thing in this
case? It is sufficient to say that both
_'were agreed they had made a great
‘mistake in thinking they were for
each other, and all the time they knew
‘they were making a great mistake in
saying so.
“You will find the right man and
ibe happy with him,” sighed the young
man as he left the house.
t “And you the right girl”
It was very sad. It was so sad that
Miss Kitty went into the house and
kicked the cat, and the young lover
‘scuffed the two long miles down to
‘the vilalge through the dust and wish.
‘ed a tramp were at hand to kick him.
. Pa Remsen’s curiosity was not half
satisfied, but ma bossed the roost and
had a sharp tongue, and he kept

for by the county paper.
state on the best of authority, it said,
that Miss Kitty Remsen, daughter of
the well-known and highly esteemed
farmer Remsen, had been knocked
down by a running hog and had her
left leg broken. The bone had been
set by D. Cummings, the popular
medico, and the patient was doing
well.
Earl Andrews’ father had given him
a start in life by buying him a flou
ing mill. As the sad-hearted
man ground the wheat into flour the
gossip of the village reached his ears
and gave him cold chills. He had
loved and lost. He had meant to love,
but the lost was a different matter.
He had rather picked the fuss for the
sake of making up. He even knew
just what he would reply when a peni-
tent note from Kitty brought him
back to the farm house, and with
tears in her eyes she asked forgive:
ness. He would pretend to think the
matter over for a couple of minutes
and then say:
“Very well, but don't let it happen
again.”
The sum of money which that
young man would have given to put
things back two weeks he figured out
on one of his paper flour sacks at
$3,850,224.85. He figured it three
times, so there could be no mistake
about it. The words “loved and lost!”
rang in his ears above the grinding of
the mill
Pa Remsen had heard all the re-
ports as they came out, and at length
the time came when he must talk.
“Ma, what does it all mean?” he
asked.
“Oh, it's you, 1s it?” was answered.
“Didn't I tell you to keep your nose
out?
“Yes: but—"
“And you do it!”
“But what's Kitty doing out in the
orchard? Some tramp may come
along and yell at her. I guess I'll"
“You guess nothing! Don’t you go
Pout the orchard, and don't you call
jn
He went off to work in the comn-
fleld, but an hour later came tiptoeing
back to the house to say:
“Martha, there's a tramp skulking
in the orchard!”
“Tramp nothing, you old hen. I
really believe you are getting blind!
Go back to your work!”
It was only half an hour this time
before pa returned to say:
“There's a tramp right up to Kitty
and talkin’ with her! I'm goin’ out
and-———"
He was whirled around and flung
down on a chair, and it was two or
three minutes before the wife said:
“Now you can get ready to ask
Earl Andrews to stay to supper. It's
him out there with Kitty!”
“Gosh all hemlock!”
“And you'd have spilt the hull
thing!”
“Then—then—"
“Then you shet up! I never did
gee what cabbage heads men are over
makin’ up lovers’ quarrels! Jest go
out and hang around the back door in
a keerless way, and when they come | OWN
up you ask Earl to have a glass of
buttermilk to stay his stomach till I
can get the love-feast ready!”
