TflROUUH DEVIOUS WAYB. ilr Kt.T.A W. PEATTIK. Tho rtutumn wind was laden with promise of a bleak nnd rainy overling. At tlio door of tho houso tho vrlnd wait ed liko ft sheriff to force nn entrance Within four cousins sitting together in the gray dusk wcro talking on a sub ject an full of matter to them as tho evening was of damp. Tho slovo had not yet been put up for tho winter, the musiiii curtains hung limp at tho win dows and tho colorless walls looked tike mounting sheets ot mist, shutting them out from all warmth and comfort and gaiety. Tho cauc-scatcd chairs, placetl geometrically against tho walls of Iho room, wcro somewhat disarranc- ( now uy tlio slavering persons, two t whom sat wrapped In shawls, with their elbows upon tho centre table. A girl, a littlo older than these, paced up and down tho room with her armsfold- d behind her. She did not look old, thero were an activity and animation about hor that seomed to defy even tho encroachments of an October in tho Northern Peninsula of Michirraii. The last member of the quartt tie was a thin young man with a p.itjcnt, cadaverous taou such as isolated tarineis oltun wear. Tho hind ain't oi th S3 an acre," ho was saying lo his companions, "and don t know ns we ll have another such an offer as wo'vo jot now. Wc might as well sell and douo with it. I never was no hand for breakinp; up wild lauds anyhow," "iNor I, exclaimed tho cm, who was walking tho tloor mischievously. But to one pud any attention to her. "it tnicht l'ivo llattiu and .Nora a start down in town in tho millinery or iressmaking business or something icht and centeel. Neither of 'em atu t much on farrain', an' I don't know's I blamed 'em much.'' Tho girls referred to sat silent, with that irresponsivencss of which onlv an American woman is capablo when sho demurs. "I don't supposo David cares much what is done with the land, but it wouldn't be right lor us to clo8o tho agreement till he gets here, and ho'll be here to-morrow night at thu latest. 1 thought-sure ho d conic to-night. My share will givo mo a boost over tho winter, for I'm not in a state to sneezo at ready raonev. What Margaret will do with hers I can't say." 1 slnll endow an awum for indi gent cats, "said tho girl called Margaret. it might go quite away it it is ex pended for diluted milk, but I don't think there will bo enough to do much elao with." Tho cousins all looked a litllo shock ed at her flippancy. Sho was town bred, and th"y had never gotten over tho idea that sho might bo a little dan gerous. For a long time after her mother s death sho had kont liouso for her father, but when ho too died sho camo to the country to livo with her cousin aetn. ilo auci his sisters lived on a vast tract of land which their father had dignified by tho name of farm. When, worn out with his fight with tho elements and tho soil, his narrow old soul had loft his toil-worn body, his children found that his farm was to bo equally divided between them, their orphan cousin, Margaret, and thu son of his vounsrest brother. I'his son was David, of whom Seth had spoken, and ho was m his lost year at Ann Harbor, having taken tho law coiiibe in tho university. None of the cousins had over seen him, but they knew that ho had sufficient money to relieve him from tho tiressuro uud.T which thoy labored. "You speak as it you didn't want to sell, Margaret. Now if you don't why, just pipe right out and let us know it." "I can t help wondering, coz. what makes this man so anxious to buy.
