Phoebe- Uaya'ttras Farmer Mapes bound cirl. This fact aloua explain why her life was a hard one, for Furmer Mapes was no easy master penuriono, grasping and exempt from the feeling of charity and forbcurauce. Bat Phoebe had plenty of conraae.and a suh'uy nature" oh which sorrow rested bat lightly. Had this cot been tlio case every spark of spirit would havo been crashed from her generous young.heort long ago. It' was a dark night but oppressively warm., There was no moon np, and the sky was obscured with clouds. Phoebe had carried a dozn fresh t ogs to Deacon Bally's about a mile and a half from the farm, add was returning home the long-est-Way. She walked through the fitlds gaily, her torn straw hat pushed back on her short, black curls; her warm brunette skin flashed with exercise. A fctling of fteedom pervaded her. In the silent night, with the vast heav. on above, and only the solemn croaking oftho frogs disturbing the calm peace, Phoebu'u buoyant hinrt was happy. She skipped along, touching the hill olover with her birch switch, and singing softly to herself. 'I Buppcse they will raise a row be cause I'm si late. But let them, I'm nsed'to that! I -can stand itC'thii thought with a gay Iltllo laugh. She was nennng an opening to n strip of meadow lund, when voices arrested her attention. Gruff, menaciuc voices. with a sound of wicked triumph iu their tones. I Phoebe's cheek blanched at Iho soand her heart seemed to stnnd slill, 'The roughs from Thomaston again!" she thought. "I wonder what mischief they are up to now. Maybe they lll burn Mapes' barn, or kill us nil in our beds to-night as they threatened the last time he sent them to ja.i1. She crouched down in the shadow of the stone wall, and listened with intense eagerness; she even tried to restrain her bieathiLg, knowing well the imminent danger sho was in. ''He has been stopping at 'The Grove' lor the summer, and a line stuck-ap gen tleman be is too, with his music playing in the middle, of the night, and his stat ues with fine names stuck in every cor ner. There he is, I say. with nil his money, a poor crippled thing, not nbl to put one foot before the other, and only an old woman in the house! Just think of it will ye? Both the men strvants off to Carrollou till the morning, and only an old woman and n cripple between 11s and gold!" The gruff voice Ml into a husky whis per and ceased. Others took up the strain. "Aye, eye. It would be worth the riskl They say the cove has heaps of money!" "Aud an easy matter to settle him if ha whipped out a -pistol, for be cum. ot move from bis ctmir without help!" "Well, we won't stop to fool any lorg erfjlhe gruff voice which had spokru fiis oontinied. "Just you do your part and I'll do mine, I mutt go about my own bnslness now. At eleven o'clock, you kuow where to wait for mel" And after a few more whispered re marks, all arrangements were conclude i and the party separated. Phoeba did not move from her hiding place till the last sonud had died away. Then she stood np, her pale face looking out of the darku-s-s like a spirit's her large, black eyes horrified and strained. What a revelation this work of sin and plotting was to her. And she had been crouching only two y art's away from men who conld discuss the killing of a fellow-c.-eature without a touch of pity. Oh, what would har fate have been if discovered? She shuddered at the thought and remembering the victim of their aw ful plot, she started forward eager and brave to foil them in their dtsign. "The poor young geitlmau at 'The Grove,' lying so helpless; oh, I must save him I must! Farmer Mapes will beat me black and blue for my absence, but I ahall have to bear It," She vaulted lightly over the alone wall and ran acresi the field, her nimbi, feet bearing her swiftly along. Then across the road, over a stile and through more fields, taking all the short cats she knew so well, until she stopped at last before a stone wall with barred gate. In a second she .had clambered over the wall and dropped in the soft soil or a flower bed, The little, gray stone house, with its hanging balconies and jntting bay win dows, looked very lonely as she stood watching it, all the upper casement win dows opened, to admit any wandering breeze that might happen to blow that way. Live ana Let Live." PA., SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1882. 'Tbey would find it an easy task-to kill him poor fellow!" she thought, go ing up to the beAvy, oaken door and knocking softly. ' The old woman before referred to.open ed'it. "Well, Phoebe Mays!" she crled.sharp ly, niter pring Into tho fnoo of her vis itor, "whnt mny yon wanl?" "Good-evening, Mrs. Tompkinsl" the girl anld, eatching tho wrinkled hand in h.-r warm grasp; und slipping Ujly post tbe'wotuan.iuto her cheery kitchen, "I've come lo stay awhile." "And who gate you leave lo como gad ding around hereM'd like to know! What -brings 'you out this lime of night? Stipposo ;ou ran away from old Farmer Mopes bnt jou can't stay here, not for an hour! I will just step up to Mr. Ives " Phoebe jumped up from her chair and laid ' her hnn J heavily on the womnn'n shoulder, her great black eyes burning With excitement. ' "Mrs. Tompkins, do you lovo your master? ' "What business Is that of your.,?" "Do you love him?" Phoebo reiterated, with compressed limps. 1 Mrs. Tompkins shiank back.somcwhat awed. ''Love him! I nursed him when he was a baby, aud ho has been as dear as my own child to mel Of courso I love biuit" "And would you save him from dan ger if you could?" "Of course I would." "Then help me. I havo come to save him no matter from what. But if you drive me from the house to-night, you may live to regret it bitterly to-morrow ! Now do just ns I direct you.'' The trembling woman obeyed Phoebe's commands with alHcrityvnfter that, aud twehly minutes later she Btepped from n little bedroom, dressed like a fashionable young man. Her tall, well-made figure looked admirable in Mr. Ives' cast off suit, and a white Mackinaw straw hat was set on her short, black curls. "Lead the way, Mrs. Tompkins. Be- member that I am a beloved nephjw of yours. Phoebe followed to the floor above,and lth a ttrriblo groan, Mrs. Tompkins opened her master's door and Ushered Phot be into a dimly lit sitting room. "This is a yonug nephew of mine, Mr. Ives a beloved nephuw of mine!" she blurted coulusedly; "come to stay over night as he is in this part of the country. I thought you might like, to have some one to talk to, seeing as jou are so lone some nil day." A slender, white hand closed fever Phoebe's brown fiusers. and a soft, hlch- bred voice bade her welcome. She sat down by his side, noting ut the same time with feminine r.ccuracy even In ,lho shadowy room the peaceful retig natinu in the dark, kiud eyes and tho marble pallor of Lis face. He lalked in an eloqueut dreamy way of music, books and their author, and traugocouutrits; opening to her dazzled eyts visions of wooderful beautyl "I wish I could talk ns you do!" she said regretfully. "Oh, I wish I was as cdncated and refined as you are!" Mr. Ives laughed, and Mrs. Tompkins bclow,wondered at tho unusual sound. 'My dear boy, bow Herious yon look!'' then his face clouded over. "I wish I was strong and healthy like you are! I wish I could feel free aud hopeful ns you do! Now, whoso case is more pitiable? Yours may be remedied mine never caul" Phoebe sighed In pity, and at that mo- ment the clock struck eleven. She took a cigar and stepped out on the balcony. Mrs. Tompkins rolled her young master's chair to his bud-chamber and Phoebe was left alone. Half an hour passed, aud still she paced the balcony in fall view of the road. Her hat was tilted over her eyes, the cigar was held up bravely betnetn her lips, glow ing like a red eye through the gloom, while she puffed the clouds of smoke up ltzily into the air iu tho mcst approved fashioned, and all the while her bta'rt beat faster and faster at every sound.uud the cigar was makiugher miserably sick. "They will think wheu Ihey gee me that the gnests from New York, expected next week have arrived to-day, aud that will put an end to their awful scheme! ' she thought, hopefully. Twelve o clock at lust. A man walked hastily and silently up the road, and r.t the side of the bouso she heard stealthy steps and the bushes rust ling. Still smoking, and with the same lei surely step, she advanced to the end of the baloouy over the place from which the i-ounds bad proceeded. For a moment all was silent as thongh the villains held their breath with dis may. Her sharp ear canght an oath of en raged disappointment hls-sed ont; the bushes rustled again, and then all was silent. She waited another hour, but beard nothing more. He r strength was gone, ber brain was reeling, The task was done and Philip Ives' Ufa would not be sacrifioed that night, and poor Phoebe, worn with excitement, jnst mauaged to rtach the long window and fell iu a dead faint across the threshold for the first time in all her strong young lire. When Philip Ive,afttr a wakeful nisht, propelled his invalid chair at dawn, into bis sitting-room, the first sight that met bis eyes was the figure or Mrs. Tomp kins' nephew lying seuseltsson tbe floor. But nol Surely there was some mystery. for tbe face, with the morning sunlight shining upon it, was that of Phoebe Maya, whom he had often seen bringing eggs and butter lo "The Grove," Two hours liter Pbo.be stood 'oefnre him in her old print dress and told him the klory, Aud that day tbe would-bo murderers were safely lodged In Jail. 1.00 "And cow I must return to Farmer Mapes ir he will take me back," said Phoebe wearily. "Why should yon return to a lire I know yoa nbhni?" Philip nked, Inking her hat d. "Let me h.lp jotl begin the eduoation you so muoh distrol I will pay whatever he demands to compensate as much as possible ror your losi." So Phoebe was freed from her bond age, and sent to school, from which she graduated a lew years later, "a noble wo man nobly planned." She married Philip, and loved him with all the strength of Lsr warm heart"" Ho died while still young, leaving hrr. mistress of his largi fortune, and Phoebe mourned him deer ly, II, r sunny nature came ont of tbe trial "r.fln.d by pain,,' but while sho lived hooue over filled tb place in lier heart which Philip's de-nth had made vacant. -,.A BOLD STROKE. "No, I refuse." "Iti fleet. a moment, Myrtle. I beseech yon I. You hold my life aud happiness ia.jour baudi,"nn,d tho volte or Adel bert. Tompkins trembled ns he spoke the words with nu earnestness tbs(, foibade, even for a single instant, any .doubt as to their being tho .outpourings ol h'is heart Myrtle Mibnffy was a beautiful girl, just budding into sweet w omauhood, and Adtlbert loved her deaily. They bad wandered togfcthcr.tbissuninier afternoon from the in.itiuee lo the street car. and he had aked her to be his wife. It wns iu answer to this qtiislinn the earnest appeal of a man whose whole nature was wrapped up in a pnssiou ho could neith er control' nor cast aside that Myrtle bad spoken the words with which' our story opens. She had watched him closely during, nn acquaintance of some two years, and noticed with pain how he sedulously avoided candy stores and ice cream saloons., "IcanjUever marry a man," she had said lo her.Jmother one day, who shies at tho tight of a candy store like a country horse at ,a fire-engine." aud when the expectedavownl came, she kept her word. Adelbert. turned round in a dazed sort of way after Myrtle hod rejected him, and walked swiftly toward tho dry; goods store which had been so fortun.ite as to secure his services. All the,atternoon Adelbert slOod moo.1- ily behind tho libbon counter, thinking of how he couidrovcuge himself ou the ntngljty girl who had wrecked his hap piness. At precisely it u clock it usee's joy lighted up h s couniciiancu, and put ting on his Lnt, he ltft the store. As tho bell of St. Agnes' church were striking 0, a voting ;uian .sprang lightly up ILo sleeps of a magnificent residence, ami v as 'soon stated I'nthe'.snmpluously furnished p.ulor. The rroprletor of the house, a benevolent looking old gentle-; nvin, entered the room, "Do vou wish to tee int.?' bo said to Adclbeit Tomp kins lor it was he who hud sprpiig up the steps so lighily. "Yes," ho replied, "you aro the person Ifeek." "What would you?" nikedtbo old gen tleman. "You are the cashier in the bank, I believe?" said the young man. "I am." "You have been sttullng the concern's money. Dj nut seek to dtceivu me You uie a cashier; 'tis enough. Give me $20,000 or I will expose yon and ruin your lite. Hiving heard me twittsr, you can choose your own course." For nn inslabt the cashier did not move, and then, going to an elegant es criotoire which stood In a corner of the Diim, he wroti- a checkjfor $50,000, cer tilled it, aud handed tho pieoe of piper, now a fortune, to tho youux miut "I have but ono favor to ask, he said, "and that is that you'll marry my daugh ter.

SHORT OF MEAT. A Methodist minister traveling in Michigan was entertained by n fami ly, whose hospltulily was greater than their means, and who were short of meat Iu order to spreud a good dinner lor the parson, it was decided toblay the pet hen which, btlonged to tbe lillls" buy of lie family. This vas a sacrifice, but tbe in terests of religi mand hospitulity seemed to demand it, and so the bird's neck was wrung. After dinner the minister was asked to lead in family devotions, which with true clerical courtesy be consented to do. Tbe family being all OalUd to gether, all knelt down on tbe floor which was of board, liberally adorued' with knot holes. While the prajer was going on, a lonely little chicken, one of tbe children of the deceased ben, came run ning under tbe bouse lamenting the loss of its mother. The afflicted littloi lad put Lis month to a knot hole aud si iupu- tbeticully id to the chicken; "IVepy, peepy, I didn't kill your mother. They killed her for thutblgcld preacher's din ner." That "big old preacher" was startled out of all seuse of prayerlulness aud sud denly brought bis devotional exercises tn a close.

When tho sermon began, ho bait looked up, with no encouraging ex pression on his face, but with the a)r ol a suapirfuii man, who "dots not believe there is much iu it," but is willing to wait a tittle, aud see. He was clcarly prepafed hot to be Interested. If all the church attendants uyeeted their preach tr thus, they wond breA bliu down at the outset. OnrtfiiuLd soon dropped his cyrs turned aa-fnr round at the seat would let him, and fairly gave Ihe.min iater the cold shoulder. IIu did uot shut his eyesji that 'Weoild have been less dis- cotiragiug. Tho miuisttr might huvo thought "Poor man, ho has been hard worked in his business, and though the spirit is willing', the flesh is weak.". He was provtikiugly' wide awake..

The're he foT. stern and rigid, seeming to feel sour, discontented, boretd, His wbo!6 ttttlt?.desaiU' "Thntsormon is not worth much, I wish. I .could hear something better." Well, the sermon might havo been poor; we havoi n right lo speak ou that point- But it cost labor. Weary, though pleasant hours were spout iu thinking it out,, in casting and reo.istlng it. in trying to mitka its central truth stand out prom inent and imprissive. And Its truth was one of great moment. Even though, in tbe estimation of its unwilling hearer, poorly set forth, it deserved serious and respectful uttei tion. But there sat the hearer sa ing all the while by his man ner "I wish you were inJoppa!" In oue place he did look up, as if about to .show seme interest, but he soou re-lapsed into the disgusted state. As a whule.it was most decidedly a case of cold, very cold shoulder, Wa are sorry he was so ill satisfied. We wish every man he hears were a star preacher, able to fascinate and cntrause him. But ns most preachers are not ex traordinary men, we do not see how he is to get along. He is a church mem-b.-r. nud it would scarcely bereputtble to stay away from church;, and it may not be convenient to go every Sabbath where brilliant orators .are to be heard. He must go to church; and he must hear sotuo seimous which claim no more than to be pliin, simple pusintations of re ligious truth. Now we r.sk, is it pi'lite for him to frown on a minister in the very house of worship? If be cannot bo pleas ed, may not others bo profited? And if the preacher has nny right to preach, is it not best to show a decent .interest in tbe services? .Perhaps wo mishikernr friend. Per haps he is, pretty well satisfied, but "that is his way," , If, so it is a most unfortun ate way. Gentlemen elo not treat each other so iu the pallor, or the counting- room; why should they iu the church? The thought will do to dwell on aud car ry out. Let nil church-goers pay good nnd evident ntteitiou to the preacher, and they will "encourage him more than they think of. And If they wish to get belter srrinoos,, that is just the way to tiling it about. hi.. i THE COLORADO DESERT.
