He Paid His Way. e—————————— I ain't a complaivin’ any: I'H go if you think it's right. I never ask nary a bit nor a peuny, Only just to be treated “white;” But, Steve, bimneby when you see me laid out Remember the words I say: Though now some Lates to seo me about, I've usually paid my way. 1 was eighty last January Jorn eighteen hundred an’ eight. I’ve opened two farms on the virgin prairie, An’ worked them early an’ late; Come rain or come shine, a-scrapin to- gether Each mouthful we eat day by day. 1 never rode deadbead in no kind of weather 1 always paid my way. Your mother an’ me worked hard How hard you'll never know Bearin’ the Leat an’ standin’ guard To keep out the rain an’ snow. The mortgidge kep® eatin’ into the bone, An’ the war, it come along, too Well, I went—weut an’ eft mother alone With Sis in the cradle, an’ you. Serve’ mt’ time, an’ then commenced On the second prairie quarter. 1 s'poss you've torgot how 1 plowed and tenced, An’ niggared as no man orter, To raise my babes an’ feed my wife, Apd she sennmped till her hair was gray; We didu't lead no joke of a ille, Bat I rockon we pald our way. No tavern ain't good enough For aman like me to die in. The work that's made me stubbed an’ rough Could 'a’ earned me a bed to lie iu Under the roof of my only son { ‘hough Lis wite is proud an’ gay), 1 raised yon, schooled you so you got on, 1 reckon I've pald my way. Your city bred wife is set Agin we, as 1 can see, (I don't biawe her; it's a terrible fret Her havin’ to eat with me) | She never speaks, an' she never dreams | Of harkin® to what 1 say, | jut your babies love me, an’ it hardly | Bretns i *I their gran’ dad is in the way. { i you want 10 board me round, i Well—mother's bears 'd be broke, | If she wan't sleepin’ under the ground, Not hearin’ the words you've spoke, She'd aliow you'd like to have me here What tia 1've leit to stay; For, Steve, better than fifiy year Sue kpnowed me to pay my way. So Of course 1'm too old too learn, But I kinder hate to leave; Partin’ from you an’ my gran’children, It's that th't knocks me, Steve. I'll keep to myself, and U'll try to do Who were they? They were and Mrs. Thwaite, and they had so for a few weeks only, They becamne Huff and Tiff when they married. Although they were well-to-do citi- zens of great New Lancaster, they had not been married grandly in church, because they were so young; and if the truth must come out, it had been a runaway match. Noone could under- stand why they had run away, as the opposition to their marriage had been more of a postponing character than anvthinz else; but Mr. Thwaite had suggested that the former Miss Feath- erly had too little money for his son’s intended wife. There had been a stormy scene, in which the two vessels, old and young gentlemen, had com into collision amid claps of thunder. Is it necessary to say more? No; ly all persous of twenty will see why young Thwaite married precipliately and flew with lus charming wife nto lodgings. “Huff, dear, 1'm all ready,” wife, enter.ng the room. said his ing near dinner time, and she bending spring bat and clinging buff gown. Her teeth glinted, her darkened, as she looked down at her husband, who had been reading a novel of Victor Huge, Thwaite glanced up, sprang to his feet and bu bx getting his hat, gloves and cane.

[I thought 1 had some money in an inner compartment of my purse and—it is not there!” You've spent it?" «ertainly not! That is; I suppose I must have.'’ «And what have you in the outside compartments of your purse?’ asked Tiel, lazily fanning herself and putting her two dainty feet on the hassock, The only answer Thwaite seemed likely to make was to begin feeling of ali his pockets, “Hey ?L said TIL “Why, none there now,’ Thiwaite, shortly, as, of course, hadn't, “(rood gracious!” sald Tiff, snapping Ler bracelet, “how unusual, isn’t it?” “Why, yes, that's what troubles me; 1 never was out of cash in all my life before this,’ “Aren't there such things as checks?" asked Mrs, Thwaite, turning her eyes upon him lovingly. Thwaite laughed. “1 should think so, But then I haven't any about me.” “There are so many banks. do you cash your checks?” “When I have them,’ said Thwaite, going to the mantelp to light a cigar. *'I cash em at the first bank 1 come to,” “Perhaps if you go to the bank they'll give you a check to cash,”’ she said, **No, hardly.” “Aren’t there such things as accounts at hanks?” = Henvens, THT, why nol?" ' answered he Where “Wa'l, then, go to the bank where you have one,” Her husband took his cigar from his lips, growing pale. “What the deuce have no balance,’ Mrs, Thwaite shook out a fold in her dress with a gentle wave of the hand, Her husband was again staring fixedly into the desert of his dilemma, She rose, and going to him laid that gentle hand of hes upon his shoulder, “What difference can it make?” said she “about money, I mean? Something will happen, Perhaps you have money in your trunk. It is quite funny to think of two people who care about each other as we do, talking much about such vulgar things.” “That’s all very fine,’ Thwaite mur- mured: “but what are we to do for breakfast?’ Breakfast?!’ —breakfast?’’ “Yes: and we shull break on cording to present indications,’ “Pehaw!
