The fire crackled Cheerfully on the
broad hearth of the 'old \ farm-houSe
kitchen, a eat and threekittens bask

yellow dog lying full in the reflection
of the blaze, wrinkled his lila& nose
approvingly, and turned his hind feet
where his fore feet had been. ,\,
Over the l chimney hung several
fine hams and pieces of dried beef.
Apples were festooned along•the cell=
lug, and crooked-neck squashes vied
with red peppers and slips of dried
pumpkins in garnishing each window
frame. There were plants, too, on
the window ledges—horse-shoe gera
niums, and dew plants, and- a month
ly rose just budding, to say nothing
of pots of violets that perfumed the
whole place whenever they took it
into their purple heads!to bloom.
-The floor was carefully swept
the chairs had not a speck of dust
upon leg'or round ; the long settee
near the fireplace shone as if it had
been varnished r and the eight,_day
clock in the corner had had its white
face newly war.hed - , and seemed .to
tick the lotider for it. Two arm
chairs were drawn up at a cozy dis
tance from the hearth and each other ;
a candle,_ newspaper, a pair of spec-
Lieles,, a dish of red-checked apples
and a pitcher of cider, filled a little
table between them.
• In one of these chairs sat a com
fortable-looking woman of about 45,
with cheeks as red as the apples, and
eyes as dark and bright as they had
ever been,
resting her elbow on the
table, *1 looking very thoughtfully
into the tire. This was Widow Cobb

cause--all her work being done, and
the servant gone to bed—the sight
of his-empty chair at the ahem side
of the table and tide sPence of the
room, made ;ter a little lonely.
' Seven years;" so the «vit.tow's rev

say what they like— children are
more plague than. profit—that's my
opinion, Look at my sister Jerusha
with - her six' boys. She's worn to a
shadow, 'and I am side they haVe
dOne it, though -she will never own
it." -
The widow took an apple from the
dish and began to peel IL
." How dreadful fond Mr.• Cobb
used to be of these grafts. He never
will eat any more of them, poor fel-.
low, for I don't suppose they have
apples where he has gone to. Ileigho
I remember very well . how I used to
throw -apple-parings .over my head
when I was a girl to see who I was
going to marry."
Mrs. Cobb stopped short and
blushed. For in those days she did
not know Mr. Cobb, and was'idways
looking eagerly to see if the peel bad
formed a capital "S." Her -medita
tions took, a new turn.
'How handsome Sam Payson:wail
and how ml►cl► I used to care about
him. I wonder what has becOme of
him • Jerusha says he went away
from our village just after I did, and
no one tas ever heard•of him since.
And what a 'silly thing that quarrel
was.! If it had not beentor that—"
Here came a long pause, daring
which the wido* looked very stead
fastly at the empty gm-chair of Levi

carelessly with the apple, paring ;.she
drew it safely toward her, and looked
around the room.

neighbors would say if they saw me."
Still the plump fingers drew the
red peel nearer. -

never will know wh •t it means. Of
course I don't believ anything about
it.". •
-
The paring hung very gracefully
from her hand.
" But still I should like
. to try it,;
it would seem like old
: times and—"
Over her head it went and curled
upygry quietly on the floor at a - little
distance., Old Boise f Who always
slept with one nye Open, saw it fall
and marched deliberately up to smell
of it.
" Bowse—Boirsc--don't touch it l"
cried his , mistress, and bending over
it with a beating heart, she turned as
red as fire. This was as handsome
a capital 44 8 " as any one could wish
to see.
A great knock came suddenly at
the door. Bowse ; growled, and the
widow screamed and snatched up the
apple paring.
" It's Mr. Cobb—it'shis spirit

come back again, because tried that
silly trick," she thought fearfully, to
herself.
Another knock—louder, 'than the
first, and a man's voice e xclaimed :
" Hillo the house'!"
" Who is it?" j asked. the widow,
-somewhat relieved to find that the
departed Levi was • still safe in his
grave upon the hillside. ~
"A stringer," !said the voice.
"What do you want ?"
"To get a lodging for the night."
The-widow- deliberated.
" Can't you go On ?—there's" a
house half a mile further, if you keep .

" Raining, is iit ? I did n't know

The stranger entered = shaking
himself like a Newfoundland dog up
on the step, and scattering a little
shower of drops over the hostess and
her nicely.swept floor. .
" Oh—that looks-comfortable atter
a man has been out for hours in a
storm," he said, as he caught sight
of the fire, and striding along toward
the hearth s ' followed by Bowse,' who
sniffed suspicitihsly at his heels, he
stationed himself in the arm-chair—,
_Mr. - Cobb's arm-chair, which had
been kept sacred to his memory fOr
seven years. The widow was horri
fied, but - her . gueat, looked so Weary
'and worn-out that she could not ask'
him to move, but busied herself in
stirring up the . blaze, that *he might
the sooner dry his dripping clothes.
A new.thought struck her: Mr. Cobb
-had wdrn comfortable dressing
\gown during his illness, which still
hung in the closet at the right. She
weld not let this poor man catch
his \ death by sitting in that wet coat;
if he'vras in. , Mr. Cobb's chair, why
shoulit he not be in Mr. Cobb's wrap
per ? 'She went nimbly to the closed,_
took it down„ fished out a pair of
slippers frOM a-boot-rack below, and
brought them to him
" I think':, you had better take off
your coat and boots; you'will have
.the rheumatic fever or something
like it if yo? dOn't. Here are some
things for you
_to 'wear while they
are drying. And,yOu must 'be hun
gry, too; I will go into the pantry
and get y ou something to eat."
"She bustled away, On hospita
ble thoughts intent," and' the stran
ger made the exchange.i Ire Was. a
well-formed man, with a bold
e, sun mrnet am
heavily bearded, and looking any
thing but "delicate," though hislibie
eyes glanced out from under a fore
head white as snow. He looked'
around the kitchen and stretched
.out his feet before him, decorated
With the deacon's slippers. Then he
leaned forward and stroked the cat
and her brood and patted old Browse
upon the head. The widow, bringing
in sundry good things, looked pleas
ed
.at, his attentions to her dumb
friends.
" It's a wonder Bowse does not
growl ; he generally does if strangers
touch him. Pear me I stubid."
The last remark was , neither 'ad
dressed :to the stranger nor the i dog,
but to herself... She had torgOtten
that, the little stand was not empty - r =
and there was nQ room on it for the
things' she held.'
" Oh, I'll manage it,'" said the
guest, gathering up paper, csndle,
apples and spectacles—(it was not
without a little Pang that s'he saw
them in his hand, for they had been

night, like the arm-chair, beside her)
—and• deposited them on the settee.
" Give me the table-cloth, ma'am ;
I can spread it as well as any wo
man ; I've learnt that along with
scores of other things in my wander
ings. Now
. let me relieve you of
those dishes; they are far too heavy
Tor' those little hands

blushed); •' now please sit ddwn with
me. or I cannot eat a morsel." '
" I had supper long ago, but really
I think I Can take something more,"
said Mrs. Cobb, gently drawing her
chair nearer to the little table.
"Of course you can, my dear lady
—in this cold autumn'weather People
ought to eat twice as much as they
do in warm. Let me . give you a piece
of the ham—your own curing, I dare
say."
" Yes, my poor husband was very

" lie.*as a most sensible man, I
am sure. I drink your health, madam,
in this cider."
lie took a long 'draught and set
down_his glass.
" It is like nectar."
The widow was feeding Bowse and
the cat (who thought they were enti
tled to a share of every meal eaten
in the house),,and did not quite hear
what he said. I fancy she would
hardlykave known what " nectar "
iwas—so it was quite as well.

, The blue eyes looked at her sip long
that she grew flurried.
"Is there anything more . Ica get
for you, sir ?" she askeil at last.
" Nothing more, thank you kindly.
I-have finished."
• She rose to clear the things away:
He-assisted her, and' somehow their
hands had a queer neck-of touching .
as they carried the dishes to the pan
try shelves. i . Coming back Ito .the
kitchen, she put the apples add, cider
back in their old places, and
_brought
out a clean pipe and a 30X of. tobac-.
co from an arched recess near the
chimney.. • ,
"M. husband always said he could
of sleep after eating supper late.un
-ss• he smoked," she said. " Perhaps
yogi would like to try it, air?"
"\rot if it is to drive you
.away,"
heattswered, for she had her•candle
in! her 'land. . .
•
k' Oh. hp—l do not object to.smoke
at . • all." 'She put the candle down—.
some faint\Suggestion about " pro.
priety " troubled her, but she &need
at, the clock and felt reassured. it
was only half-past 9.
The stranger \pushed the stand
hack after - the pipe\Was lit, and drew
her easy-chair a littl nearer the fire
—and his own.
"Come, sit down," b .
ingly. " It's not late—l
man has been knocking ab

berth like this—and to have ,
natured, pretty woman to spe i.
once again."
"California,? Have you been ,
California !" she exclaimed, ' droj
ping into the chair-at once.
Unconsciously, she had long cher
ished the idea that gam Payson—the
lover of her youth—with whom, she
had so foolishly quafteled, had ,Pitch.,
ed his tent, after many wanderings in
that, far-off land. Iler - heart warmed
to one who,.with soniethina, of gam's
looks and ways about him had always,
been sojourning in that country—
and who very possibly had met him
—perhap's had known him intimate
ly ! At that thought her heart beat
quick, and she looked very gracious
ly at the bearded stranser wlio, wrap
ped - in Mr. Cobb's• dressing-gown,
wearing Mr. Cobb's . slippers, and
sitting la Mr. Cobb's chair . besides
Mr. Cobb's wife, smoked Mr 4 Cobb's
pipe, with such an air of feeling most
thoroughly and comfortably at
home
" Yes, ma'am—l've been in Cali
fornia for the last sir. years. And
before that I went quite round' the
world—in a whaling ship."
Good gracious I"
The ktranger sent a , puff of 'Smoke
curling gracefully overbislead.
, " It's very strange, my dear lady,
how often you• see one thing as you
go wandering about the world after
that fashion "
"And what is that ?"
Mien, without house ,or Koine
above their heads, roving here and
there, and turning up in all sorts of
odd places, caring very little.for life
as a general thing, and niaking for-.
'tunes just to fling them away again

'ask me what it is! No doubt you

Mere was a long pause, and Mr.
Cobb's pipe emitted short puffs with
rapidity. A guilty conscience needs
no accuser, and. the widow's cheek
was dyed with bluShes as she thought
of the absent Sam.`
"I wonder ho* women manage
when they get served in the same
way," said the stranger, musingly.
" Yon never meet them roaming up
and down in that Style." •
"\•o," said Mrs. • Cobb,' with some
spir=it; "If a women is in trouble
she must stay at home and bear it in
the-best way she - eau. - And there's
more women . bearing , such things
than we know of, I dare say." •
'" Like enough. We never knew
Whose hands get pinched in a trap
unless they scream: And women are
too shy, or too sensible, which you
choose, for that."
" Did you ever in all your Wonder
ings, meet any one by the name of
Samuel Payson?"' asked the widow,
unconcernedly.
The stranger, looked towards her
—she was rummaging her drawer for
the knitting work and did not notice

needles in motion;„ he answered her.
" Payson ? Sam Payson? What!

"I—suppose he was quite well?"
- -
" Strong as an off,
my dear lady."
" And—happy said the widow,
bending close over, her knitting.
"hum—the leSs about that the
better— perhaps. /.13tft he seemed to

I will say—very Swell oft" U •
Mrs. Cobb did 1 6t pay mall at-s
tention to ' that part of the story.
Evidently she had not finishea ask
ing questions. put she was puzzled
about her nest one.' At last she
brought it out beautiful..'.
" Was his wife with 'him in Cali
fornia ?"
The sttanger loaed at lieL.with a
twinkling eye.
"His wife, ma'am I Why, bless
you i te-basn't got one !"
" Oh, I thoUght--.1 niean 'heard "
—here the little widow . i.emeinbered
the fate •-of Aninias and Sappbira,
and stopped befoic she told such a
tremendous fib.
"Whatever you heard of his mar
rying was all nonsense, I can assure
you. I know him well; and he had
no thought of the kind about him.
Some of thel)oys.used to tease .Lim
about„it—ba he : very soon made

' " How.?"
Ile just told them frankly that
the only . woinan he had ever loved
had jilted him years before, and ,mar
ried another map. After that no

Mrs. Gob,b sighed 'as she said she

" I know the first name." ' .
" What was it."

it nearly touched her shoulder. \lt

" I am sure she would," said the
widow, piteously. "She has owned
