"Which way are you going, Phil!"
The young man, who waa already starting
off at a rapid pace, returned, and aald, In a
low tene:
"Can't you Imagine I"
The elder man took bit partner't hand, and
seenwd te want te aay 'something.
"What k It, Mr. Tramlayr asked PhU.fer
the silence was somewhat embarrassing.
"My dear fellow," said the merchant, "a
man who ha Jest given away hit daughter U
usually supposed te have done a great favor."
"As you certainly have done," Phil re
plied. "Thank you, for 1 want te ask one in re
turn Fathers aren't sole proprietors of their
daughters, you knew. Mrs. Tramlay--when
you speak te her about the affair, as, of
course, you will, be as be all de be your
most considerate, courteous self, went your
"1 beg you will trust me for that," sold
Phil.
"I'm sure I can or could, if you under
stood mothers as well as some day you may."
"I Jiave a mother, you knew," suggested
"True, but she bad no daughters, I believe.
Mothers end daughters well, they're net ex
actly like mothers and sous. Mrs. Tramlay
respects you highly, I knew; but she may net
have seemed as friendly te your suit as you
could have liked. Try te forget that, won't
you I and forgive it If it has made you un un un
conifertablof" "I would forgive a bitter enemv te-nla-ht.
If I bad one," said the excited youth.
"That's right; that's right; a man has se
few chances te feel that way that he ought
te Improve them all. Yeull even be patient,
slieulif ft be necessary T
"As patient as Jeb," premised Phil.
"Thank yeul Ged bless yeul" said the
merchant, wringing Phil's hand and turning
away. Phil aaln started. The merchant
walked toward the club, stepped after taking
a few steps, looked in the direction Phil had
taken, drew his hat down ever his eyes, bur bur
ried te his house, entered the basement deer,
sneaked up the back stairway as IX he were a
thief, and quletly entered bis own room,
which, te his great relief, was empty.
Meanwhile, Phil had reached the house and
been admitted. He had net te ask for Lucia,
for he heard through the open deer of the
parlor seme piano chords which be knew
were touched only by her fingers. Lucia did
net hear him enter, and as be stepped te leek
at her she seemed te be In a revery that was
net cheerful. He bad never seen her looking
se se plain, be would have said, had she
been any one else. There was no color In her
face, and her cheeks seemed thin and drawn.
An involuntary motion startled her, and she
turned, exclaiming:
"Hew you frightened mel"
"I wish you might puuisb me in some way
for It," Bald Phil, approaching bcr.
"It was se late that I did net imagine any
one would call," the girl exclaimed.
"I was quite busy in the earlier part of the
evening," said Phil, "and I needed te see your
father."
"Business is horrid," said Lucia. "I should
think men would attend te it by daylight.
Well, I believ e papa went te the club."
"Yes; I found him."
"And, ns usual, he sent you home for some
hen id papei-s of seme kind!"
"Ne, net exactly," sold Phil. Hew un
comfortable it Is te have a dream dispelled
even a day dream I All along the way te the
beuse he had imagined just bow she n euld
leek; he could see tbe flush of her check
through the half mile of darkness that be had
traversed, his path bed seemed Illumined by
the light of her eyes, yet new she was pallid,
and her eyes had none of their customary
luster, and her mental condition it did net
seem at all appieprlate te the conversation
which he hed a hundred times imagined and
upon which he had set his heart that night.
Well, he would be patient: "Faint heart never
wen fair lady."
"Aren't you a little severe en your father
for his devotion te business!" he ventured te
ask. "Out In the country t have an old
saying, 'Make hay while tbe sun shines.' The
suu never shene brighter than new in the
iron buslncsr."
"Yes, I knew," replied Lucia wearily. "It's
alwas something for business' sake. Yes,
we have that samedicadful saying in New
Yerk."
"But It's all for the sake of women that
men are se absorbed in business," argued Full
"What would your father care for business,
if it weren't for his wife and charming
daughters and younger children I He never
sees iron, I Imagine, while he is talking about
it, nor even thinks of the money for its own
sale. Greenbacks and geld and notes and
bends all trausferm themsehes in his eyes, I
suppose, Inte dresses and cloaks and bonnets
and opera boxes and trips te Europe and"
"Yeu silly fellewlsaid Lucia, with the
first smile upon which the had ventured that
evening; "I wonder where you get such no
tions. If you don't give them up you will
some day find yourself writing poetry some
thing about the transmutation of railroad
iron into geld. Think bow ridiculous that
would seem 1"
"But when iron attempts 'te gild refined
gold-te paint the lily,' " said Phil, "as it
does in your father's case, why, 'tweuld ba
ertb diepptng into jtectry te tell of at least
one Instance where Bhakeepeare's conclusion
was wrong. Yeu knew the rest of the quo
tation!" Yes, evidently Lucia knew it, for her cheek
glowed prettily under the eompliment,
which, whlle semen hat awkward, reached
iU mark by the help of Phil's eyes. As for
Phil, his heart began te be Itself again; whose
heart wouldn't, be asked himself, under the
consciousness of having given one second of
pleasure te that dear gtrll
"Yeu tecin te be in a sermonizing mood
te-nlgbt," said Lucia. "I knew my father is
the best man alive, and I supposed ytu liked
him a little; but I can't imagine what
should havelmpiesaed you se strongly with
him te-night."
Phil studied the tees of his beets, the tints
of the patternless rug, the design of the
frescoed ceiling. Lucia n etched him with
n aeiused face, and finally said, "Even you
don't seem te knew."
"1 knew," said Phil, slowly, "aud I'm try
ing te think hew te express it properly."
Peer fellow I hew he did despise himself,
that what he had hurried there te say would
net come te his lips properly! Such a story
bad seemed easy enough when he had read,
in books, of hew ether men told it se easy,
indeed, that be had ceme te have very little
patience with that portion of novels. Of
course be could net tell it while Lucia wsa
laughing laughing et him, tee. Perhaps
he could lead conversation back te the de
siied tone; but no, for just at that instant
Margie flew Inte the room, exclaiming, be
fore she fairly entered:
"Oh, Lu, Isn't it aw full I just went across
the room for something, and my dress caught
the table cover, and ev er went an Ink stand
en ray very, veriest white Why, Phil, I
diJn't knew yen wcre here."
"I wlb I knew what would take ink stains
from very, v erlest white"
"Oh, se de L What shall I de, Luf De
tell me at once."
"Ferhai," suggested Phil, with a gltam of
hope for Mergle and several for himself, "your
Uu- Ire ran tell."

somewhat soberly. "What mera could yen

"As we aay In th country, guess," said
Phil, approaching th piano steel and open
Ing hi arm.
Lucia guessed.
What a deal ha had te say te her while
still they steed there I He knew It waa net
polite te keep a lady standing, but while he
was supporting her se strongly, though ten
derly, It did net seem that Lucia would weary
of the position ; nor did she. And what a let
of questions each asked and answered I ques
tions and answers that would seem as silly
te any one else aa they ware Interesting te
these they concerned. Perhaps there cam
occasional moments when neither was speak
ing, but during these Phil could leek dewa at
the golden tangle just about at the level of
his lips, and think he w much mere precious
it was than all the geld that railroad iron
could be changed Inte by th alchemy of en
deavor. Hew long they might have steed there, If
undisturbed, they never knew, for they were
se heedless of all that might be going en
about them that they did net note the en
trance of Margie, who was returning from
an Interview with the laundress In the base
ment. That young lady was quick te discern
the situation, and was about te depart
quietly and, with celerity; but, acting upon
the premptings of her second thoughts, sh
returned, threw her arms around the couple
and exclaimed:
"Ob, Isn't this splendid!"
There was a rapid separation of the trio,
and then Margie attempted te whirl Lucia
about the room in a waits, that being the
younger sister's most natural method of ex
pressing Jey. But, somehow, Lucia did net
feel like waltzing. On the contrary, she
kissed her sister several times, hid her own
face a great deal, and finally made a great
effort te be calm as she pointed at Phil and
said with a sprightly toss of her bJudt
"Papa's partner. Tramlay & Hayn is te
be th sign ever the store hereafter."
Margie's eyes opened in amazement for a
moment ; then It was Phil's turn te b whirled
about the room ail operation In which he
displayed th astounding, awkwardness pe
culiar te young men who cannot dance. Sud
denly she paused, and said:
"Mamma must knew at once. Tbe Idea of
there being some one within reach te tell It
te, and I wasting all this timet"
'Margie!" exclaimed Lucia, as the girl's
dress rustled up the stair, "Margie, come
back a moment, de." Then there was soma
rapid whispering, and Margie reascended,
saying, in very resigned tenes:
"Very weU."
"I suspect," aid Phil, when Lucia returned,
"that you've suggested that I am the proper
person te break tbe news."
"Isn't it betterP asked Lucia, timidly.
"Infinitely."
"Mamma Is net always easy te speak te, en
some subjects," Lucia suggested.
"Ne task could be hard te ma te-night,"
responded PbiL
Yet in a moment or two, when Mrs. Tram
lay was heard approaching, the young man's
leeks belied his brave words. Lucia pitied
him; the pressed closely te bis side, as if te
assist him, but when her mother's footstep
was heard in the hall tbe girl's courage de
sei ted her, and she fled, and left the young
mail te whatever fate might be impending.
"Margie tells ma you bare some great
news," said Mrs. Tramlay te PhlL
"Bless Margie!" said Phil te himself; then,
instead of at once addressing himself te the
duty before him, he gave Mrs. Tramlay as
full a report of the rise, progress and result
of the Lake and Qulfside operation as if she.
Instead of her husband, were the head of the
iron house.
"And you have told Mr. Tramlay, I think
you said," the lady remarked.
"Yes; I looked him out at the dub for tha
purpose."
"Ile was pleased, of ceurseP
"Greatly, I em happy te say."
Mrs. Tramlay looked thoughtful Phil waa
puzzled by her manner. Did she knew or
care se little about business ascot te estimate
at its true value the Importance of tbe Lake
and Gulfslde order! She was se calm about
It that Phil himself began te think less than
before of bis success. He even wondered
whether it would be worth while te tell her
of the worldly fortune the operation had
brought te blm. Probably she was one of
the large class of women of whom he bad
heard who have 110 heads for business.
"Did Mr. Tramlay say anything In rcplyP
asked the lady, after a moment .or two of
thought
"Why, yes," said Phil, with some hesita
tion, for he wondered if, alter all, it might
net be better that Tramlay himself should
tell the story of bis clerk's promotion. Mrs.
Tramlay eyed him keenly; then she asked:
"Did he say anything concerning your fut
ure, aud ours also, as related te itP
"Yes," said Phil, new satisfied that Tram
lay's offer had been premeditated, and net
made In the excitement of the moment;
"and," he continued, with his best smile and
bow, "I am happy te assure you that I waa
simply delighted te agree with him."
"My dear son I" exclaimed Mrs. Tramlay.
Phil's astonishment reached almost the
stage of petrifaction, but before be could be
tray it bis prospective mother-in-law had de
pressed bis head se that she might kiss him
ou both cheeks.
Such a prayer of thanksgiving as Phil's
heart sent up as he returned Mrs. Tramlay's
salutation! Meanwhile, two young women
who had been flagrantly transgressing one of
the most Imperative rules of their breeding
lie it at each ether from the two doers that
opened from the ball Inte the parlor; at last
Margie bad found some one who was both
able and willing te be waltzed madly about
They were even reckless enough te float Inte
the parlor, right befere their mother's eyes.
Then Mrs. Tramlay, conscious for the first
time that her eyes were wet, flew te th se
clusion of her mrn room, where, te ber great
surprise, she fell into tbe arms et ber husband.

Itrhaaa hla broker had saved something
for Mm from ta wreck. Marge sought an
eaarara hotel laatsad of going te bis apart apart
msetaer his dub, fearing area te meet any
ea ha knew ea Wall street, went te hi
broker's house by Bight Th Interview waa
aet satisfactory. Th broker had aotealy
bera obliged te de Marge's asoeuat, but,
Infected by his customer's success, bad op
erated e largely In E. & W. ea hi own
account that he also bad been ruined, and
contemplated selling his seat In the exchange
se as te snake geed some et his indebtedness
temmbra.
As for E. & W., Instead et recovering It
had gea lower and lower, until paratlen
in It almost ceased. Th president, utterly
ruined, retired from eBc, turned ever all
hi property te his creditors, and went abroad
te recover bis shattered health or te die, he
did aet much ear which,
Marge sold his house at auction, and while
wearily awaiting th circumlocution et
"searching title" which necessarily preceded
hi getting full payment he betook himself te
Bosten. Te avoid speculation was Impossible;
It had been his life for years ; and as he f 0 and
mining shares were within his reach he began
again te operate In a small way. Thellttl
he had teen of mine while en th fateful E.
&W. excursion was se much mera thanth
majority of thess about him knew en th
subject that he made a few lucky turns, and
he finally interested some acquaintances in a
premising silver property he had seen In the
west His acquaintances succeeded In getting
th property "listed" at en of tha New Yerk
exchanges, and Marge, with new hope and
a great deal of desperation, risked nearly all
ha bad en the Brightbepe mine.
Th scheme worked finely for some weeks.
It waa skillfully managed by the Bostenlans
Interested; they even succeeded In getting a
peat deal about It Inte the newspapers et
both cities. But alas for the wickedness of
human natural one day tba company wer
horrified te learn that their title te the prop
erty was hopelessly defective. Whea this
fact became Indisputable, Brlghthepe stock
tumbled farther than E. tc W. tumbled
utterly out of sight; and all the assets of the
company, except the sate and two desks, wer
add te a paper stock dealer at a cent a pound.
Then Marge thought seriously of suicide.
He bad but a thousand or two dollars left;
hew could he operate In anything en that
email sum and support himself besides! lie
could add something te the sum by selling his
horse and.cariiage, but such things always
had te go at a sacrifice; beside, there would
be a terrible bill te be paid for the mainte
nance of the animals during the two or three
months In which he had been absent from
NswYerk.
Still, the thought of suicide did net im
prove en acquaintance. While there was
life there was hope Why shouldn't he go
back te New Yerk, brave everything, and
start anew te tha best of his ability! Other
men had pocketed their pride; and, although
his own pride was frightfully large te be
submitted te such treatment, he did net
knew that tbe operation would gtve blm any
mero discomfort than he was already endur
ing. The thought resolved itself Inte decision
when one day be chanced te meet in Bosten
a New Yerker with whom he had a casual
acquaintance. After a little chat the man,
who bad been away from the dty for months,
remarked:
"You're net married yctr'
"Ne," said Marge, with a grim smlK
"I thought I had heard that you nere en
gaged te Miss Tramlay; and I wanted te
congratulate you. An Iren house traveler
whom I met a short time age told me that
Tramlay was getting rich Tary fast."
"I supposed," said Marge, with a dawn of
interest, "that Mlsa Tramlay was te marry
young Hayn."
"What! that country clerk et her father'sP
aid the man, with the confidence born of
Ignorance. "Nonsense! Why, it seems only
the ether day that I heard some one laughing
about that fellow's Infatuation. Ob, no;
new that they're rich they'll want te marry
tbtlr daughter te someone of social standing,
Indeed, 1 heard some one say as much. The
mother Is very ambitious In that line, you
knew,"
Marge seen excused himself, lit a strong
cigar and betook himself te a solitary walk
and some hard thinking. There was perhaps
a grand point te be made en that fellow's
suggestion. Frem what he knew of Mrs.
Tramlay and he Informed himself that no
one knew that lady better be would net be
surprised If an approved society man might
new be entirely welcome as a husband for
Lucia, even It be wcre as peer as a church
mouse. And Lucia herself bad the net al
ways longed ter larger and mere prominent
society than she had yet enjoyed!
Before bis cigar was burned out, Marge
had bought a ticket for New Yerk, deter
mined te make a bold stroke for fortune
where he felt that he bad at heart one faith
ful friend te aid him. Ilia imagination and
pride combined te cheer him en; be would
reappear at Tramlay's, see hew the land lay,
and If th signs were encouraging he would
propose at once, first taking Mrs. Tramlay
Inte bis confidence. He had lest enough by
hesitation; new he would adept entirely new
tactics, and there was no plcesanter way te
begin than by proposing te Lucia. As be
had told himself before, she was a very pretty
girl, and fully competent, with such guid
ance aa he would give her, te make tbe most
'of ber new advantages.
I Reaching New Yerk at nightfall, he lest no
time In dressing with extreme car? and mak
ing his way te the Tramlay abode. He would
have no difficulty In explaining his long ab ab
sence te the ladies; perhaps they bad heard
of bis disaster in EL & W., but be could tell
tbem that he had been largely interested in a
rich silver mine ever since. There would be
nothing untrue in that statement; had he net
been se deeply Interested that he could net
sleep a w ink during the week while tbe title
te the Brighthope mine curse the rocky helel
was first In doubt! Besides, women were
sure te talk, and equally Eure net te diminish
the size of a story while telling It; quite likely
his tale, repeated by Mrs. Tramlay and Lucia,
might have the effect of restoring him te tbe
regard of the many people who estimate a
man solely by his money.
As he entered the bouse be was satisfied
that his operations would net be postponed
by the announcement "net at home," for
through tbe open deer he heard familiar
voices In the rear et the parlor, and he saw
several beads bent ever a table. None of
tbem seemed te belong te strangers; se he
entered with the freedom te which long ac
quaintance entitled him. Tbe backs et the
entire party wer towards hlra, se his pres
ence was net observed; besides an animated
discussion seemed te be going en between
Lucia and Margie.
"I think you're real mean," he heard Mar
gie say. Then be beard Lucia reply:
"Ne, I'm net Am I, mamma!"
"Ne," said Mrs. Tramlay, as Marge ap
proached clew enough te see that they were
looking at the fleer plan of a house, spread
upon the table.
"My heart Is set upon having that room for
my very own," said Margie. "The young
lady of tbe family always has first choice,
after her parents."
"Net wbere there is a brida te be provided
for," Mrs. Tramlay replied.
1 "Well said, mamma. There, Margie," said
Lucia; "that room Is for Phil and me."
"Here," said Tramlay, entering from the
library, with a large sheet of paper In bis
band, "is the plan of Why, Murge! bless
my soul I when did you get buck, old fellow p
"Mr. Slargel" exclaimed the three ladles In
chorus, as they hastily urose.
"Whatl only Just ceme luP asked Tramley,
"And of course there was such a clatter here,
there being three women together, that no
body could bear a word."
i Apparently the ladles did net agree with
the head of tbe family, for Mrs. Tramlay
looked at the vWter pityingly and Lucia
dropped her eyes and blushed. Hut Margie
was equal te the situation; her eyes danced
as she exclaimed:
"Just In time te tee the plans of the llU

"As I was saying, Marge, there's no easier
way te mak that property bring twice as
much money than for you, with your knowl

"Thanks for the suggestion," said Marge,
"I'll think about It At present, however, I

"Lu," shouted Margie from the bead of the
stairs, as Marge was donning his light over

Mrs. Tramlay hurried tothehalland press

said farmer Hayn
ene morning when
the month of May
bad reached that
singe when farmers
forget their coats
except, ou Sunday,
"it'll soem 'most
like takln' boarders
again te have such
a big crowd of dty
folks In the house,

"Net qui teas bad
as that." said Mrs.
Hayn, carefully moving an Iren ever one of
the caps which she reserved for grand occa
sions. "Only Mr. and Mrs. Tramlay an th
two gals."
"Well, you ertn't te forget that I'bll Is city
folks new, an I dcclaie te gracious, I be be be
Heve I forget te tell you that Miss Dlnen
tliat splendid gnl I told you about, that owns
alotet stock In the company Phil's writ
that like enough the'll come down tee. She
an' her mother want te pick a let for a house
for themselves befere It's tee late for much of
a cliolce."
"Well, I can't understand it yet," aald
Mrs. Hayn, carefully picking the lace edging
of the cap Inte the proper neglige effect. "It
seems like a dream. Here's me, tbat'a some
times been almost a-dyln te get away
from this farm an' Inte the city, an' there's
a whole passcl of city folks geln' te leave
their palaces In New Yerk an coma down
here te 11 ve en little pieces of our farm an'
ether farms along the ridge. I tell you, I
can't understand it"
"Well," said the farmer, picking soma bite
of eat chaff from bis shirt sleeve, "It ain't
always easy te understand city folks at first
sight New, there's that teller Marge. When
I fust taw lilni in New Yerk I wouldn't have
give him his salt for any work he'd de In th
country. Yet new leek at him I Them reads
an' drives through the company's property
wouldn't have been half se near done it be
hadn't ceme down here an' took held te hurry
things along for the spring trade. Why,
seme of them fellers that's deln' the work has
worked for me en the farm, off an' en, for
years, an' I thought I knewed hew te get a
much out of 'cm as ther was In 'em; but,
bless your soul, he manages 'em a geed deal
better."
"They de say he's a master hand at man
agin'," Mrs. Hayn admlttJ, "an' that it's
partly because he takes 1 IgUt bold himself,
instead of standin' round bessin', like most
city men."
"Takes held! Why, he works as If he'd
been brought up at It, which I'm certain
sure he never w as. Yeu can't see the fun of
it, because you nevcr saw him in New Yerk.
Why, if you could have seen blm there you'd
have tbeiijht that a gate pest with two pegs
In the Bettem of It would have had as much
go as him. I've rcelly took a llkln' te him.
More'n once J' e let blm knew that I wouldn't
mlud If he'd leave the hotel In tbe village an'
put up with us, but somehow he didn't seem
te tule te it."
"Thafs strange, ain't it!" said Mrs. Hayn,
with a quizzical leek that made her husband
ttare.
"Oh I" said the old man, after a little re
flection. "You're grewiu' dretful old an' short
sighted, Reuben," tald Mrs. Hayn; and the
farmer made haste te change the subject of
conversation.
A day or two later the party from the city
arrh ed, and great was the excitement in the
village. Sel Mantriug's wile, who had
learned of what was expected, made a trip te
Hayn Farm dally en one pretext or ether,
reaching there always just before the time of
theurrival of tbe tralu from the city, received
the deserved reward of lirinduit.-y, and be be be
eoeo sunset of the day en which the party ar
rived everybody in the vlllage knew that
when Lucia stepped from the carrlage at tbe
farm bouse deer Mrs. Hayn caught her In
hcraniuand almost hugged the life out of
ber. Everybody knew, also, that the party
was te be the: e for only twenty-four hours.
The shortness of thetimeat their disposal
was probably the reason that Phil and Lucia
dliuipiM.ired almost Immediately after the
meul which quickly followed their arrival
They went te the lily pond; there were no
lilies yet ujen the water, but the couple did
net notlce their absence; they could see them
Just whtre they should be Just where they
wcre ten months tfere. They get again
Inte the old birth bark canee; It was net as
clean as It should have been for the sake of
Lucia's exjiensive traveling dress, for tba
small boys of the Hayn family bad uet taken
as geed cai oef It as Phil would de, but Phil
made a cushion of leaves, which Lucia slowly
expanded Inte a couch, as sh half reclined
wblle she identified the tunes which ber

was out of th question, but Phil had a per
sistant fancy for reminding hi sweetheart et
very chang then had been la their rela
tions, and in himself ; and Luda understood
"It dreadfully mean of these two te go off
by themselves and aet help us hav any fun,"
complained Margl te Agnes Dlnen, when th
latter returned from a stroll with Mr. and
Mrs. Tramlay, during which she had. selected
a satisfactory cottage site. "Let's have a
ran. I knew every feet et this country. De
you se that clump of dwarfed cedars off
yonder ea th ridge, with th sky for a
background! They Ve levely: I've tried again
and again te sketch them. Cem ever and
leek at them."
Away the couple plodded. As they ap
proached the dump they saw that a read had
been partly sunk In front of It; and as they
draw nearer tbey saw a man Beddlag a ter
race which sloped from th ridge te the read.
"That's net right," said another man, who
wa looking en. "That sod must ba laid mera
securely, or th first rain will wash It away.
I'll show you hew te de It 8 her."
"Agnes Dlnen I" exclaimed Margie, In a
ten which suggested that a mouse, or at least
a snake, waa la dose proximity. "De you
hear that voice! de you see that man! De
vr knew who he tit That Is the elegant Mr.
Mha Dlnen manifested surjafca, but she
quickly whispered:
"Bh-h-hl Yes, I knew he va here, look leek
Ing after the company's interests. Hals one
et the directors, you knew."
"Yes, I knew; but se hU hat and his
clothes, and his brown bands. This Is simply
killing! Oh, it I bad crayons and paper, or,
better still, a camera! Th girls at bem
went believe me when I tdl them; they'll
think It tee utterly preposterous."
"Why should you tell tbemP asked Agnes,
turning away. 'Isn't It entirely honorable
for a man te be caring for his own and ful
filling his trust, especially when te valuable
a property as this U demands his attentlenP
"Yes, yes, you dear old thing; but" -
"Sh-hl" whispered Agues, for Just then
Marge climbed the slope and appeared a lit
tle way In front et them, shouting back at
the man:
"Cut your nut sod here; this seem te
hav thicker grass."
Suddenly he saw th ladles and recognized
them. It was tee late te run, aa he assur
edly would have done It warned In time, but
he bad th presence of mind te shout te bis
workman)
"Ne, it Isn't, either. Get tha next from
the old place 1"
"Geed morning, Mr. Marge," said Miss
Dlnen, with a frank emtie and an outstretched
band.
Marge raised bis hat, bowed, and replied t
"The band of th laboring mania ome eme
tlnie best shaken In spirit I assure you,
though, I appreciate the compliment"
"Then dent deny me tha honor," said Miss
Dlnen. "It's a positive pleasure te eee a man
doing something manly. It Is my mlsfertun
that I se men only in the city, you knew,
and doing nothing."
Her hand was still extended, se Marge
took It, again raising his hat Margie turned
away; the situation was se comical te her
that she felt she must laugh, and sh knew
by experience that her laughter was tome
times uncontrollable when fairly started.
"Mr. Tramlay says you've worked wonders
since you've been here," said Miss Dinen, as
Marg released her hand; and, as old Mr.
Hayn I his authority, I have no doubt It
Is se."
"I Imaglne that I deserve the rqmpany'a
thanks," Marge replied, "though I'm aston
ished at having mattered seme portions of
the work se quickly. I think I can astonish
you, also, by an honest confession; I really
wish something of this sort bad turned up
fears age; I'm a great deal happier at It than
ever was while worrying my wlta ever
stocks In Wall street I think the work tar
mero honorable and manly, tee. You're quite
at liberty te repeat this te any of our mutual
friends in the city; I'm sure 'twill amute
them, and their laughter won't annoy m a
particle.''
"They wouldn't laugh," said Mlas Dlnen,
"if they could breathe this glorious air
awhile, and foresee the geld which this ground
will yield, uuless appearances are deceitful"
The old beach wagon, a quarter of a. mlle
away, crawled up tbe grassy slops from tha
long stretch of sand, and Phil stepped, as of
old, te let the herse breathe after his hard
tug at the deep sinking wheels,
"What a plcture theso two people niake en
the hill yonder, brJde that green clump!"
said Lucia. "Why, the woman Is Agnes
ther Is Margie, picking daisies far te the
right and the man Agnes Is talking te Is
some common workman. What a splendid
woman she 1st She can be as independent as
she likes, and no one ever mistakes her moan mean

"BoerP echoed ThU, running a whole
gamut of Intonations. "De you knew who
that beer Is! I recognized him at sight; he
was In tbe village as we passed through, but
It didn't seem kind te call attention te him."
"WheUbel De tell me,"
"Mr. Marge."
"Philip Haynl" exclaimed Lucia. "De
turn the wagon away, se we don't seem te
be looking at tbem."
"Consistency, tby nam Is net woman,"
aald Phil, after complying with tha request,
for Lucia was kneeling ou the back teat of
tha wagon and peering through the little
window in the dingy old curtain.
"Net te revive any unpleasant "emeries,"
said Marge, after be and Mia Dlnen had
chatted several mementa, as co-htvesters,
about tba property, "but merely te cajl at
tention te the Irony of fate, It seems odd te
me te contrast today and a certain day sev

which I never shall forget et pressing
your band upon me, although no stranger
could distinguish me from one of my work
men. Then, when in a different sens I
wanted your band, and had the temerity te
think myself worthy ct it, you withheld it"
Miss Dinen did net laugh; she looked off
toward the tea and said:
"Yeu were net then as you are today."

Again Miss Dlnen looked toward the sea,
and said:

"I'bll!" gasped Lucia, from the back of

Luda looked at him soberly and replied:
"What a question for you, of all incu, te

"Why, 'tis only an old fashioned form of

Ter answer Lucia's eyes looked from be
neath their lashes se proveklngly that Phil
stepped across his seat and hid each under
his mustache for a second or two.
CHAPTER, XXIX.

S Mrs. Tramlay re
marked at an ear
lier ttage of this
narrative, Juue was
as late in the season
as was fashionable
for a wedding.

a large infusion of
the unexpected into

wedding did net
have te be deferred
until after June.
All the invited

it as pretty an affair of its kind as the season
bad kneitn, and the mere se becausu the bride
and groom really made a very handsome and
noteworthy ceuple an occurrence quite as
unusual In the city as in the country.
Th only complaints that any one heard
war from Haynten and vicinity. Th

saasadsrsd en New Yerk psepl. who had se
BMchef similar hhaatag that thtydldaet
knew hew te appreciate them. Instead of
Hayatea, where th con pi would sooner or
later mak their home; for had net Phil se
lected a villa site for himself en hi father's
old farm!
Ne Invitation by card reached Hayatea,
but Phil's pastor waat down quietly te tha
city te assist at thf marriage service, by
special arrangemaat, aad Hayn farm, of
course, sent a larg delegation, and th head
of th family saw te It that bob of the mas
culine members wet garment et th Sarah
Tweeg cut longer than wa required te
make a thorough change at a reputable doth
Ing store. As for Mrs, Hayn, ber prospect
Ire daughter found Urn enough te assume
filial duties In advance, and th dd lady was
se pleased with the change that ver after
ward sh waa what the late lamented Mr.
Boffin would hav termed "a high flyer at
fashion."
But there are souls who laugh te soem any
such trifling obstructions a lack of formal
invitation, and en of the was Sel Man
ning's wife. She tormented her husband
until that skipper found something that
would enable him te pay th axpense of run
ning hi sleep te New Yerk and back; hi
wife sailed with him aa sole passenger, aad 00
th morning of th wedding sh presented
herself at the church an hour before the ap
pointed time, and In raiment such as bad net
been seen in that portion of New Yerk sine
th days when sullen brown stone fronts be
gan te disfigure farms that had been pictur
esque and smiling. She laid sieg te th sex
ton ; sh told htm who she was, and hew sh
had held Phil in her arm again aad again
when he had th whooping cough, and yst
again when ha had scarlet frer, although
sh raa th risk of taking th dread malady
home te her own children, and the sexton, In
self defeat, waa finally obliged te give her a
Mat In the gallery, ever th rail et which, a
near th altar a possible, her elaborately
trimmed Sunday bonnet caught th eyes of
every en who entered.
What all Uaycten did net knew about that
wedding, three day later, wa net worth
knowing; It was a thousand times mera satis
factory than tha combined report In th
morning papers, ail et which Mrs. Mantrlng
carried home with ber aud preserved between
the leave of her family Bible for th remain
der et ber days, and every en in the vlllag
read them, even Sarah Tweeg, who mag
nanimously waved th apparent slight Implied
by Phil net having hla wedding suit mad by
ber.
Mrs. Hayn, Br., no longer bad te wish In
vain for a place In the city where th might
sometimes forget the care and humdrum of
farm heus life. Risky a th experiment
seemed from the society pout of view, Luda,
backed by Margl, Insisted upon, making her
at bem In th dty whenever sh ches te
come; and, although tern friends et th
family would sometime laugh in private
ever th dd lady's pecullarltisset accent and
grammar, ther wer ether who found real
pleasure In th surswd sens and grwthsart
that bad been developed by a Uf in which
the wife had beea obliged te b th partner
aud equal of her husband.
Before a year passed ther wa another
wedding. Ague Dlnen changed ber nam
without any misgivings; sh had previously
contested te Luda, who, In spit of th dif
ference in years, seemed te bcem ber fa
vorite confidante, that ah had always ad
mired some things about Mr. Marge, and
that th business misfortune which had com
pelled blm te bcem tha actlv manager et
the Hayuten Bay Improvement company
seemed te supply what had been lacking In
his character and manner.
Other people who wer no longer young
wsre gainers by the culmination of th Inci
dents narrated in this tela Tramlay and hi
wife seemed te renew their youth fndar tba
Influence of th new ler that pervaded their
home, and almost dally th merchant blessed
Ms partner for gains mer precious than
these of business. He never wearied et rally
ing hi wife en her early apprehensions re
garding thaacqeatntanc between her daugh
ter and the young man from th country.
Mrs. Tramlay' Invariable reply wa th
questien:
"But who could have foreseen It! leant
te this day understand hew It all came about"
"Ner I," ber husband would reply. "As
l'v said before, It's country luck. Nla msa
of every ten who amount te anything la New
Yerk ccine from th country. Remember It,
my dear, when next you bar a daughter
who you think needs a husband."

THE DETROIT WONDER.
Itesanl of Jehn Owen, Jr., the Present
Amateur Champien Sprinter of America.
Here Is a geed picture of Jehn Owen, Jr.,
of Detroit, Mich., who Is new amateur chain chain
pleu sprinter of the United States at 100 and
and lOO yard. When the national meeting
was held at Detielt in the fall of 18ts3, Teby,
se he Is generally called, was unknown te
amateur circles. He was a member of th
Detroit Athletic dub at the tlm, but was
taking ue active Interest In it He llttl
thought that when tbe next championship
reteting occurred be would breast the tape la
trout of such men as Westing and Copeland.
Owen weu bis first race at Detroit last Janu
ary. It was a A" yards novice rate. In which
a number started, and he wen as be pleased.
Nothing, however, was thought of bis powers
as a runner until he ran second te Luther
Carey, who wen In 10 seconds at the Detroit
Athletic grounds In June.
The fact that tbey bad a sprinter of high
order suddenly dawned en tba directors of th
club. He was put
into actlv train
ing aad tent te
Pittbuig,wberh
raptured th 100
nd 230 yard con
tests from saveral
fast eastern ath
letes. At the D. A.
C. annual field day
sports en Aug. 3,
be ran 100 yards,
aided by a stiff
breeze, in 8 4-5 sec
onds, tba fastest
time en record.
The time, however,
Jehn ewkit, jr. was netcredlted by
the majority of athletes ever tbs country,
and Teby still remained an unimportant
western ruuner In the eyes et eastern ath
letes. They were seen forced te acknowl
edge his prowess. Every one knows hew b
captured th 100 and 230 yards events at th
seceud annual championship games of th
Amateur Athletie union. His tlm was
10 'i S for tbe 100 yards dash and 23 8-5 for
the 220 geed tlme when one considers th
peer condition of tbe track at the time.
Having defeated Westing, his title of cham
pion sprinter et tbe United States was estab
lished. He next competed at the Canadian
championship meeting Sept. 28, 89. All in
terest was centered in tbe race between Owen
anil Westing as champion. When, therefer,
Owen In bis trial heat fell In a heap at th
00 yard mark, cutting himself up badly, th
eutliuslasm of every one dropped correspond
ingly. Owen teed the scratch In th final
heat, but was unfitted by his accident, get
away badly and finished third, Copelaed
taking first honors, Westing second. In th '
220-j ard eveut he was completely pocketed j
by Ixe and Cochran and obliged te run '
around tbem, even then making a geed sec- j
end te Cochran, who finished In 23 4-5 sec
ond, under the circumstances a very dever
performance.
With preivr training and care, Owen
should lower the record In the 100 yards dash '
before a next Lbaiupleiislilp meeting. ,
At a meeting of the Academy of
Sciences nt Purls recently, M. Mascart 1
gave a truu account of the striking bv
lightning of the Eiffel tower, which took
place en Aug. 10, and exaggerated re- '
