Twenty five years ago, just at sunset
a motley group might have been seen
assembled on the piazza of a rude coun
try Inn, known as tlio Hhtck Tavern,
from its nppearance. Its warped and
tnisted boards were blackened by the
storms of many a winter, and its old
faded sign, creaked dolefully in every
passing breeze.
It was In a quiet country hamlet.shtit
In from tho busy world by green hills,
many miles from any railroad, and re
taining all tho piitnltite ways of half a
century ago.
Tlie men congregated, as was
their usual custom, to sip some of
Landlord Aiken's elder, tell a few stor
ies, and retail stale jokes.
Suddenly a tall stalwart man, ttlth a
pedler's pack on his shoulders, and
leading by tho hand a little glrl.emcrged
from a cross-road and approached the
roup. The man and his pack were too
common a sight In those days lo attract
attention, but the child clingiug to his
hand fasciuatod their gaze.
She was a girl of ten years, small for
her age, with "a bright elfish face, black
hair and eyes, the latter large and bril
liant. Her skin was brown from expos
ure to the sun, her dress old and faded,
and her feet hare, but small and shapely-
"Good ovening, friends," said the
peddler, depositing his pack on the pi
azza, and taking oft his straw hat to
wipe hit heated brow.
"Have you come far?" asked tho
landlord, pushing forward a couple of
chairs.
The stranger took one and seated the
little girl on other, and threw his
arm pride tin j!y around her, as ho
a i.- vcicd:

"Frnm'S , tliree days tliiec. It's
fully twenty tulles, but my little com-
panlon Is not over-stioug fcr such a
j journey."
"Is It your little gill?" asked one of
tlio lncii.
"Xo; I have neither chick nor child.
I nm taking her lo her friends. Can
you tell me where Squire Wagner
lives?"
"llo Hesovcrthcrc In tlio graveyard,"
replied the landlord, j olntlng to n giassy
enclosure on the hillside opposite.
"Is there any of the family living?"
"One Miss Dorothy, who lives up In
the old farnihouscYondcr. Tlie restare
all dead, unless it bo Fred, the young
t'st, a wild harumscarum fellow, who
went off years ago."
"This is ids little gill; he is dead,"
said the peddler.
"When did ho die?"
"I've not tlio time to tell you now,"
said the new-comer, as he felt the child
start at Ihc question. "What sort of
woman Is Miss Dorothy?"
"Oh, a sort of crab-applo species, you
know. Had a disappointment in carlv
life that dried up nil her sweetness,"
said one man.
The farmers hereabouts get her to
look Into their cider-barrels to make
vinegar," responded anothcr.nnd a laugh
went round.
The peddler looked troubled.
"Will she behind to the little girl,"
he asked.
"Oh, yes; she wouldn't hurt, a worm,
and she'll get plenty to cat. She isn't
stingy, but she isn't one of tho soft lov
ing kind," eagerly put In a man who
had not before taken a part In tho con
versation. Well. I guess we may as well be go
ing, sir,!' said the peddler, rising. "Can
I le.no my pack In jour care, landlord,
til! I come bark?"
An aflii tii.itivc answer being given, he
took the child's hand and set out for tlie
low farm-house a half-mile distant,
whoso western windows were all aglow
with the lays of the setting sun.
Xi thry nearcd It, the little girl looked
eagerly around to see what her new
home w as like. Some ducks and geese
at play in a clear brook caused her to
clap her hands.
They entered a neat jard, and passed
up a narrow done, walk that led around
the house, Ihe girl looking with evident
Satisfaction at the beds of bright llotvcrs
on cither side.
An open door gave them the view of
amdy kitchen, where a couple of women
arranging a bountiful repast, and
hired men were pti forming their
utlons at a spout In the rear. Tho I
peddler knocked soltly.
"fs Miss Wagner In?"
"Yes. What do you want?"
And the cider woman stepped to the
door. She was tall and very energetic
in her movements.
'Tic brought you a little girl fcr
company, ma'am."
"Me? Drought me a little girl for
company? What do jott mean, sir? i'tc
no ti 1110 for jolting."
"Hut pci haps you hate lime to greet
your brother Fred's little orphan child."
Miss Dorothy Maggeied against the
door-post.
"Fled!" she gasned. "He is"
"Dead! aud has sent his little ghl to
you,
For n moment the lady seemed over
whelmed, but recovering herself, she
turned to tlio child.
"What is your name?" she asked.
"Gipsy, ma'am."
"What an outlandish n.imo! Dctsey
did vou ever hear the like?"
"Xever!" exclaimed the mald-of-all-
work, advancing with uplifted hands.
"My papa called me so, and oh, he's
dead!" And breaking from the detain
ing hand of her friend, she dashed down
Into the orchard, and In a moment was
ensconced In a large apple-tree upamong
tho thick branclies.tnuch to the conster
nation of a couple of robins, who had
settled down lo housekeeping close 'o
the llttlo girl's perch.
The. mother bird, as she brooded oyer
tho four little cjs, peeped over the side
of the nest apprehensively, while her
male, on a ttvis; eloso by, cocked ills
head on one side to watch the Intruder,
but net er a chirp or rustle of feathers
betokened their presence.
"Did I ever!" exclaimed Betsey, as
the trio wat:hol the flight, and the
nimble spring into the tree.
"Oh, dear, sho'll bj the plague of my
life," murmured Miss Dorothy.
"She'll be a comfort and a blessing to
you, ma'am, If you've only a mind to
have It so. Hie has a lov!n; little heart.
Only to think how sha waited upon her
father, soothing and tending him to the
last like a woman."
He then told the lady how he met her
brother at a lowly cottage, where his
strength had failed, as ho was trying to
make his way home to his friends; but
he was In the last stages of consump
tion, and died in two days. He en
trusted his child aud a few papers tothe
care of tho kind-hearted peddler, who
now drew the latter from his pocket and
landed them to tlio 1 tdy.who was weep
ing quietly.
He then went down through the
orchard to the tree whero tho little girl
was.
"Come, Gipsy, your aunt Is going to
love and care for you, and you must love
her."
The girl, who had sobbed for a few
moiimnts violently, now sprang down,
with a bright face. He lad her back to
the-liouse.
"Her 11.WI8 Is Gertrude, ma'am, but
her father called her Gipsy, I liopo you
will be a mother to her."
"I'll take good care of her," said
Aunt Dorothy, as she bent down and
kissed the upturned brow.
Tlie child Aushed with pleasure, and
allowed the pedller to depart with a
quiet gool-bje. She was seated at the
;taM, an! partook of a tlisli of bernes
j A now life now commenced for tho
child. For months she had had no
home, but wandered with her alcli f.-ith.
I cr.dependtng upon tho charity of slranz
crs, wherever th-y chancid to be. Now
! alio was made comfortable.
n-lin twn wnmon itlnmd .i,.,ni.t -.,
her wild untiitoreJ ways, were klnd.and
tried to lead hei In the way she should
go, and she learned to love them both.
cveil while her perversa nature led her
to set at dellance all their rules.
Aunt Dorothy declared a dozen times
a day that she "was the plague of her
life.' but yet the hotiso seemed strange
ly lonely and still when she was absent.
She taught her to sew, nnd would
leave her demurely seated in her low
chair, an Industrious little msld, and
returning In a few moments to llnd her
gone, nnd catch the flutter of her gar
ments up In some tree, whero sho was
talking to the birds.
Sho attended tlio village school, was
bright, and easy to leach, but the prime
mover In all mischief, and a general
favorite with the scholars. Hut best of
all sli9 loved lo wander over the hills,
ptcning uotvers, or playing 111 some
mountain till.
She formed an acquaintance with
omo rude wood-chopper, who, with
their families, dwelt in somo little shan
ties on tho mountainside.
The men smiled when sho name, and
the women loved tho helpful little girl
who kept the bab!c3 so still, and told
nice storie3 to the "ttco bairns."
She saved a llttlo two-year-old boy
from drowning one day, and won there
by the everlasting gratitude of the par
ents; and when one of the poor women
fell ill, begged some nice tilings of her
aunt to carry lo her.
One dark November night she and
her aunt Dorothy happened to be alone.
Betsey had gono to sit uottitha sick
neighbor, and tlie hired man lived some
distance awav.
Vbout midnight Gipsy, who slept In a
small room next to her aunt's, was
awakened by a rcreani. Springing
from tlie bed, she ru3hcd into tlie outer
room.
Two misked men stood by tho bed,
one holding a lantern, while the other
held a knife lo the woman's throat, and
a voice that Glpsey recognized said:
Slop that screeching and tell us
where that money is you took for the
cows to-day, or I'll soon settle you!"
"Xo, you won't, Fat Daly!" said the.
child, springing to the bed and clasping
her aunt around tlio neck.
Doth men started, and tho man with
the lantern said:
"It's Gipsy!"
"Ye, Dennis Carter; and don't you
remember how I saved your llttlo Mike
from drowning?"
"Indadc I do. And not a hair of yer
head shall be harmed, the bllssid darllnt
that ye are! lint how came ye here?'
"I live here, and this is my Aunt
Dorothy, who gives me a home and Is
so kind to me. You shan't touch her
unless you kill ma first. Sho sent vour
wife. 1'at Daly, those nlen broths nnd
jellies when she had the fevcr.nnd she's
ever so good;" and Gipsy burst into
tears.
The men consulted together while tho
child bent over Aunt Dorothy, who had
fainted for tho fust time in her life.
"Oh, she's dead!'' she screamid.
"Xo, she i3tt't; she has only fainted.
She'll come to In a few minutes," said
one man. "No wonlln't have come
here If we'd known- it was your aunt.
Xotv. chllJ, you must promise never lo
tell who tve are, nnd you innsn't cither
of you tell of this night's adventure, as
It would set folks lo talking and make
trouble, you sec."
"Yes," said Gipsy, "I understand;
and I won't toll, and I'll pronilso for
Aunt Dorothy too. Only be good, and
go right away, and, oh, don't ever do so
again."
"You don't hate tu, Gipsy?"
"Oh, no, Indeed; I'm only sorry for
you. Do go."
When Miss Dorothy recovered her
senses she was alone with her little
niece.
"Where arc thoso horrid men?" she
asked.
"They've gono, Aunt Dorothy."
"But what a brave child you are,
Gipsy! But won't they come back? Call
for help. Mur "
The child's hand was on ber lips.
"Don't, Aunt. I'vo promised we
won't tell anyboly about this."
"Xot tell! I'll have them arrested."
It took some time to prevail on the
excited woman to bts silent; but as she
really did not know who ber assailants
were, and the child refused to speak.she
resolved to keep quiet.
The next day, to Betsey's disgust.she
had the hired man move his family into
a part of thehouse, "for company," she
said.
A week after Gipsy climbed the
mountain side to llnd tho cabins of Daly
and Carter deserted, and tho chill Xo
vember wind sweeping through them.
She was new prime favorite ttlth
Aunt Dorothy, who seemed to forget
she had ever been "the plague of her
life."
CHEATED IN EVERYiniSO.
"I never saw such a man In all hit
born days!" exclalmel Mrs. Crlmson
bcik to her husband, who had been
impojod upon in a purchase she had re
qttastcd him to make for her; "I never
knew you yet to get anything without
being cheated."
'What, nover?' said Crlmsonbeak,
chustnutleally.
"Xo, nuvor!" omphatloally replied
Mrs. C,
'Well, I guess you are right. I have
always been suspieiotut of It 6lnce the
day I was married."
And Ihen b otieue I the window to
