'What do you know about It?" "Postmaster said it 'twas Squire Llntotes," replied Mister I'aul Pry. "Why how nice you look here, M ele Means! I ajways said Mrs. 'Wha len was just the woman.for you." "So she Is !" thought Mr. Means, with an Inward groan. "Mahe Is; and economical enough. I always thought Utlista was a little grain too saving." "But if what I hear is true, you won't keep her long, uncle. 'rho Squire is on your track." " • You hear a great many things; Moses," retorted Uncle Means, snap ithly, "and talk altogether too much for a youngster."

While Mrs. Whalen, seated In thosacred solitude of her own chamber, with the door locked and her back turned upon it, opened her letter. It was very brief —only four.lines—yet Mrs.'.

"Yes" replied the relict of the late Peter Whalen, still musing on the motherless young Lintons; "there are six of them, of all ages from two to thirteen." "What? What do you soy ?"' ex claimed the astonished proprietor of the cheese. Mrs. Whalen's face glowed like a maple tree in -October. "What do you sag? I guessl must iptve had my • mind on something else," said she, in manifest confusion. "Why," said Mr. Means, glancing; at het flushed face auspiciously.

And you needn't be particular to scrape it off, if there's any meld or grease,or what ever, on the outside. Callsta never 'did. 'lt will weigh something,' she used to say, and every little helps."

At the Fame time Squire Linton, ringing Means door-bell, was. trying to fortify his faint heart, which was not to win fair lady; and above all trying to look es if he - really had not been attacking a sheep front the neighboring meadow.- The widow met him with friendly politeness; but having learned a les son on the uncertainty of mankind.
