AMICUS WKDDIN0 ).
I was always "lad wlifii my rounds
hapiieniMl to load through Saiidridge-liy-
tlie-bca i tliiTii were many wilts wlit'i'c
I nii't with kind IriundH enough, who
were pleased to bto an old peddler, who
had served them for ever so many years,
since tliev were children themselves some
of them, hut somehow I liked the tramp
to S.'inilridge heat of all my journeys.
It was a queer little village: one strag-
ling main street leading up from tho
hore, with thu hsheriiiim s huts out
built upon another, up the cliff, until it
made you wonder how you ever got into
them at all.
It was surprising to find how readv
the Sandridge people were to buy my
goods, too j 1 always toou a large as
sortment tlmro, and choao the brightest
colors to please the tibhergirls, who like
to be gaily dress'.'d when they can, and
don't grudge what money they spend on
themselves neither. Hut there was one
cottage in Sandridge where my gaudy
wares tell rather Hat, out 1 was always
sure of a bright, sunny welcome, and I
usually made my way there liit of all.
It was a slct'pisii wain up the cliil to
Hen Kydcr's cottage, and I was always
glad when I reached the top, and saw
Amice standing 111 the doorway laughing
it my effoitsto btruggle up. lleautiful
Amice llydcr sho was called, and rightly
enough to my mind. She wasn't jn-ctty
like many oi the .Sandridge gills were;
lie was too big and quiet looking lor
mere prettiness ; she was just bcautitul,
neither more nor less, and she didn't
need gay clothes to show it off neither.
polks called her pioud, but sho was nev
er proud to me, hut used to laugh at me
mil bid me welcome, as though I had
been a King, instead of a twopenny ha'
penny peddler.
ijiio bright spring day 1 caineto hand
ridgo in the afternoon, and as I neared
the place 1 stopped to jpeak to an old
comrade of mine, who was breaking
stones by the loadside,
"Any news up yon t 1 asked, when
wo had passed the time of day to each
other.
'News!" he grunted, willing his
mouth with thu back of his hand ;
news, you say t Well, thei o's more news
than 1 euro for, anyhow," and then re
sumed work.
'Come, Sammy,'' 1 said, laying down
my incJv, yon 10 "pu'. out a int. nuts
up '! '
"Wliats up, lie repeated he always
had such a tiresome way ot doing that,
had Sam Tenfold "well, a billet's up.
"What's that'C I asked.
"Whv, just this : Tliuy ain't got room
for thu soldiers that Hrcutiarlered at Ley,
so thyy'yii handed them on to us ; and
neither with yer leave or by ver leave,
in stalks a big six-foot fellar, right into
yer house, with r. p!0,lll of paper in his
band. 'That's hi'" filet,' savs he, and
therit hlys as frrorl" you please, whcthei'

"(oiujj tSHlcii Uyder's f" asked S.uu
with a parting grunt.
"Aye."
"Then you won't get lodgings thcie,'
he said, with grim satisfaction; '.he's got
11 billet, loo.
Somehow I did not like the idea nf
rough soldier being (piaiteri'd at Hyder's
house, inoiigiiit was 110 imsiuessot mine
liiiiuni seem altogether iigiitoi nun
towards his niotlioiless girl, hut praps

funnyoniot Icotildu ttell.lier faeeiicemei
to look paler and graver than it used to
Sho woro her usual lishguf s dress ot
coarse homespun, but stunk in the front
of it was a cream colored rose, a thincr
nover saw Amice wear before in mv life
She wasn't given to fiippery of any sort
"(Joints in, I'atil" sho said, holding out
her hand towards mu. "Vou'ie ns tired
as can be, I'm sure."
.lust the same welcome ns uver; but
thoro was something in thu ring of her
voice that told mu 1 wasn't altogether
wanted theic that day, or at least I
thought so. However, sitting down on
tho poich, I stopped 011 for some little
time, making her tell me all tho gossip of
the ullage. Of course, tho arrival of
tho soldiers cauiu up nniong other things
nnd by the Hush that overspread the
girl's pnle check, ns sho told mc this bit
of news. 1 felt .sure that the mischief was
done, and that Amice Wyder was heart
whole 110 longer.
"Did your soldier give yon that rose,
my lass'" I naked suddenly.
Kor the lirst time in my life I saw
Amice angry. Shu did not vouchsafe
any answer to my question, but rising
from her seat, she turned abruptly away
ai'd buised herself in thu house, getting
soiuo refioshinoiits toady for me,
which 1 hardly deseived after my iinper
tinence.
As 1 smoked my pipe peacefully in
thu porch, I Thought it nil over, nnd
madu up my mind it was nothing to do
with mu if Aiuicu had a lover. Her
lather could look after her interests bet
ter than I could; only soldiers were such
queer ehnpi; they so often pretended
what they never meant, and I was too
fond of Amice to see her treated that
way
Suddenly, as I eat in thu quiet spring
sunshine, I saw a man tailing up thu as
cent thai led to I Sydor's cottage. His
red coat hanging on his arm showed him
to be a soldier. His lint was off and I
could seo his facu distinctly.
"Amice," I called out, loudly, "Amice,
come here." Then as she neared me, I
continued : "Is yon the man that is quar
tered here, at your father's house 'f"'
For a moment she looked out a little
anxiously ; then said, quickly : "Yes,
that's him, raid."
Without another word I left her and
walked down the steep road to within a
sliuit distance of the nppronohing figure;
then I stoppud dead and wailed for thu
man to coniu towards me. lie was look
ing down 011 tho ground ns ho swung
himself up the steep way. Suddenly he
raised his eyes and they met mine full.
Ah, me, how his faeo changed as ho did
so !
'What do you want now ?" he gasped
out.
"Only to let you know that I am here,
and can uuess tho game, that you are
playing," I returned. "As long as you
remember that, you're safe from me.
Forgot it, aud I shall keep silencu no
longer."
With a rough laugh, he turned away,
and left me standing alone ; then I
slowly remounted tlio rocky path, witli a
heavy weight at iny heart, and prepared
myself for whatl could say to thu girl who
was waiting for my return above. She
stood watchtng me from the porch, where
thu roses were growing in their wild
beauty, and I could see a wondering sort
of look in her facu as I came near her;
but she never spoke a word nor asked a
single question. I was a bit out of
breath after my tug up-hill, and as what
I had lo say wanted all the calmness and
quietness 1 could muster, I waited silent
lor a lime; then took her hand in my
withered onu.
"Amice, my lass," I said. "I've known
you since you were a wee thing toddling
about hoie, and seen you grow into thu
woman you are with near as much pride
as your father could do, and on the
strength of that old friendship I want
you to make me a promise."
No nnswer, only she held her head a
bit higher, and looked 1110 straight in the
face unflinchingly.
Will you grant an old mail's whim,
Amice f" 1 said again.
"I must wait until I hear what it is
lii-si, Paul," she replied.
"Well, it's this. 1'vo a fancy.a strnniro
fancy, to bo one of tho guests at your
wedding, Amice, and tho promise I want
lroin you is tins ; Hyo days betoro your
marriage send 1110 word to come to it."
Sho laughed merrily, her old uncon
scious laugh, that somehow it hurt mo to
hear.
Oh, you silly old Haul," sho said.
blushing slightly, "is that all you've been
making such a mystery about ? Well
yes, I promise."
I looked at her earnestly. "Amice.'
I said, "you've given mu vour promise.
ind 1 trust you. Whatever persuasion
you may get to the contrary, you give
1110 your honest word that old Paul, the
peddler, shall eomo to your wedding?
" os, sho said, "I do Paul, really nnd
truly,"
ind then I wns satislied, for I knew
1 girl with such truthful eves ns hers
couldn't stoop to deceit.
After telling her how to let me know
when I wns wnnted, so seriously that she
again began to laugh nt me, I left tho
cottnge, refusing nil her invitations to
tay, for I knew the same roof couldn't
shelter me and tho man sho had chosen
for her lover, without somoharm coming
of it. So I went down into tho village
for tho night, and tramped next day.

tered the open door almost unnoticed.
Then I saw Amice as she stood in her
soft gray gown with her beautiful head
drooping on to her breast, I only looked
at her I say, and tlio sight gave 1110 cour
age ; no man living should harm her
wlillo I lived to prevent it,but my task was
a hard one for nil that. Stepping for
ward through tho liltlo crowd of villa
gers thnt looked 011, open-mouthed, to
see me, I made my way toward tlio
group in tho chancel.
"Stop I" I called out aloud, holding up
my hand. "This wedding must not go
on."
Amice, I know, looked tip nt me with
a look I shall nover forget,but it was too
late to heed thnt now.
'For what renson am I to stop!" said
old Parson I.eigh, who was a-marryiiig
them, startlcd'by my voice, and not
knowing how to act,
"Because," I said, covering my eyes
with my hands, to shut Arnica's lace from
my sight, "because that man in my son,
and he's married already 1"
"Is this true t" flays Parson Lolgh, his
voioo shaking a little witli the sorrow he
felt for the girl, whom he had known
since she was a baby, and turning to the
man who stood before him.
"It's just a downright Ho, Bir," he said,
simply enough, "and I'm ready to prove
it. My father's here to speak for him
self, and I leaven knows why any one
should want to come between Ainico and
1110 like this."
I looked up bewildered as the nun
spoke, and then in an instant the awful
mistake I had madu (lashed across my
mind ; this was not the man I had seen
coming up to Hen Ryder's houso at all;
this wns not my son, but a younger man,
but different in every way to that poor
wandering fellow. Fir a minute some
thing seamed to come into my throat
and prevent me from speaking. Hut
presently the words came; "I with
draw what I said entirely, sir;" I said,
solemnly, "and I humbly ask pardon for
tho mistake I made, which I will explain
later on."
Then fulling back into the ranks of
the astonished lookers on, I listened to
the words that made Amice Ityder
a happy wifr, wondering, with a sad
heart, whether sho would ever forgive
the blunder I had madu in my efTort to
secure her happiness.
Shu was very pale and till and a tear
trembled on her cheek, but she made her
answers in a low, clear voice, thnt seem
ed full of trust and hope. At length the
bells in the old tower rang out, and tho
wedding paity began to prepare for start
ing, but 1 hung back, ashamed to meet
Hen Hyder or his daughter, and still
more ashamed to meet the gossiping
folk who had heard all I said. Hut
Amico had not forgotten mo, she saw 1110
watching her from the back of thuohurch,
nnd enme forward directly on her hus
band's arm.
"Come home witli us, Paul," bIio said
gently, "1 want you." And notwith
standing the queer looks given mo by
her soldier, I followed them at a dis
tance toward the old home.
Outside the cottage I stopped, and
beckoned the two out into the golden
sunlight.
""Amice," I said, humbly enough, "I
havu to ask your pardon for my beha
vior towards you and yours this day.
Tho man who lodged nt your father's
houso was my son, and it nover entered
into my stupid head that it might lie an
other soldier who was courting you. I
only thought of him, and, knowing his
ways, made up my mind to savo you
from him, though he were a dozen times
my son. IIo has never caused me any
thing but troublo sinco he was a lad, and
such trouble should never cross your
path by one of mine. It is on his ac
count I have to tramp tho country, from
year's end to year's end, and it is on his
account I dare not settle in ono place,
knowing that he would only bring dis
grace on 1110 if I did so. It is from this
man I tried lo gave you, and you must
forgive a half-blind old man's mistake,

wnen you rememoer now nam 11 was

you both."
1 he teais stood in Amice s eves : sho
tlways had a feeling heart, and she saw
now 1 was well nigh overdono. Sho
would not have mo say good bye, but
presf ed me to join them at their simple
wedding feast. Hut I said no, and kept
to it. Somehow it would lmvo jarred on
me to lie there. I had had happier davs
inyself.but they were gone and tho shad
ows that tell round me should have no
place amid their innocent mirth. So I
shouldered my pack and walked off
down the hill towards tlio town. Once I
looked back and saw my girl following
1110 with her eyes full of pity, so I turn
ed and waved my hat cheerily enough ;
then sho spoke a word to her soldier
husband, and ho nodded his head and
laughed, so sho inst ran after me. and
putting her arms around my neck,kissed
my weather-beaten cheek gently. Then
I had to make oil as quick as possible,
