BY MARY KYLE DALLAS.
"Dan, supper is ready."
Dan Lnew it, but Le had cot stirred
from the olj five barred fence where lie
leant, plucking the long grass ppcars iu
the field on the other side, and chewing
them as thcigh tliey were his natural
food. Ilia trousers were tuckeJ into his
boots. His coat was somewhers in doors,
and his straw hat had a hole in it. Xo
one (unused to farmers' ways) could have
gucscd that (siving Pan LU money value)
i'.e was worth more than many au exiui
site, promeuad'op; the sidewalk of I' if": h
Avenue. lie Lad a grand, well-tilled
farm, a bank account cf value, and a
homestead solid as an old castle with its
massive granite walls. Yet, as he loung.
ed there, chewing straws he said to him
self, with a kind of savage ecowl, ''I
wonder what I was made lor 7 I'm noth
ing. I taven't T nnytntnf'Sorili hav
iiir;. Every one is hctlcr olf than I. I
wish I was iu the bottom of the Uiill
p0nJ 1 Jo. Hang it I what's the use el'
living fuch a life?"
And all that because, an hour leforc,
he had seen Mis Lucy Lee pass up the
toad in a gig with youitg Morris, loth so
deeply intercttcd in their conversation
that they did not even see him.
'It's just what I might expect ex
actly my hick," he aid savagely, '-I've
always had it so. Other boys have had
mothers mine died before I knew her.
Other boys have had sisters I never had
one. No woman ever cared fjr me or
ever will and why should they? A
clumsy clod hopper, who knows nothing
beyond sowing nuJ reaping and driving
the plow. I'd rather be the preacher
witli hi.i fvur huudred dollars a year and
his pretty wife. I'd rather ce the little
lame schoolmaster, who teaches the youn
uns in the holloT, yonder, I saw him with
his arm 'round Kitty Deau's waiit, last
night and poor and lame as he is, I ex
pect -the'll marry him. Nobody ever
loved me; nobody ever uill I wish I
was dead."
'Dan, tea is ready."
'Confound it. I know it," muftcied
Dan, and slouched i::, old nurse l'eabody
greeting him with a "Lawful sakes, things
is all cold. Why will you shilly-shally
so?"
She sat pouring out the tea, an old,
grim lookijg woman, who mght have
been mads of east iron, so hard were her
feature!). Aftir tha k: remark, she
said nothing more, but helped Dan, ca
she had done ever ciaea tho tine when
she came to the farm to keep the house
and see to the motherless child and cut
her own supper in sileucc. Dan shovel
ed his ia as only a Yankee farmer could,
leaving no time to chew, and left table
the instant he was done.
lie was not in the habit of finding a
social occasion in a meal pt home. First
he fed the "critters" aud then himself, ia
much the samo spirit.. In his actions
there was co tinge of romance in Lis
speech, less. lie was burly and bro n,
and Lad a way of p.uawering strangers
that made them bhy of speaking a second
time. First he started, then ho paused
then he put his answer into the shortest
worda capablo of the longest abreviations
to La found in the Eugliuh language, and
muttered thctu without looking at the
party addressed and all because, in his
iumost heart, he fancied that, do what he
would, nobody could like him Luey Lee,
in partieula", who always seemed to hiui
the best and prettiest thing in the whole
world, and as far above him as the stars
are above the muddy earth.
Her father was the village banker, a
gentleman who stood high iu the estima
tion of the best families; and Lucy was
accomplished, beautiful and good. But
for all that, Dan Ilolloway need not have
despaired as he did, for Lucy, from her
pew in church, had often cast a sly glance
at the brown, broad shouldered farmer,
with his glitteriug black curls and glow
ing cheek, and thought him the handsom
est fellow there. So he actually was, ic
his Sunday toilet, for, to quote the words
ef old uurse I'eaLody. "Pan Uolloway
became dress.''
Ouce, too, when the dun cow ia the
meadow frightened Miss Lucy, Dan had
proved himself quite a hero, and had af-
Iterward actually escorted her home,

though alt he said was "Not ; all," when j
she tbauked him. He was in his Sunday !
ii-as, loo, that morning, for he had teen
to town, and was just driving through
the gate of his ovn garden whea tee dun
cow lowered her horna. He had no time
to think what he should do, and had
done it all the better for that, and sir.ee
that day Lucy Lee had liked him more
than before. Sometimes, going to the
bank to deposit money or to draw some
sum he needed, Dan used to see her at
her window, or in the garden, for the
house and bank were near each other,
and then he always bowed, sometimes
spoke just a few words, iu his old sul
ky way. Eut Lucy felt sure tliis appa
rent sulkiuuss was only rhyuess, and thai
there was a great deal of good in Dan if
cue could but come at it.
For mc.nths after the affair of the cow
she felt that he wa3 quite a friend ; but
even her good nature failed at last, and
she was piqued by his constant silence
iU;jtiiLaig no notic-a of him, ualecs it
ws3 absolutely noo . other men
were anxious totals to her." Oltitr m-.n
adui.red her, and it was absurd t.i rare
for one who never took any notice of her.
Notice? Ah! if she had .only known.
He used to steal across the fields at night
aud sit under the great elm by the road
side staring at the windows cf the house,
and wondering which room was hers.
lie used to watch her cjmin;; and g'jicg,
and once had been so anxious to see her
ride away that he had gfmo upon the
roof of his house, ati.l siaye.l there until
she and her pretty black horse had faded
into a dark spot ia the distance, and
when she passed him, with some olo else
at hrr s-iii e, he felt himself the most mis
erable wretch in creation,
' If she should ever marry," he said
to himself, "I should have to sil out
and go. I should, I'm sure. I couldn't
stand it where I could ice her. Net one
of those fellows vui! ever love her as well
as 1 iJ., though she can't guess that."
Ho the time pissed on. Dsn uot and
more in love. Lucy more and more ia
difierent, as Dan continued his sulky si
lenee, and young Morris, as every one
called him. became l.pr.- r..-r. ilimanVn,
Morrises, grew deeper in her liking.
She was not of a suspicious n.iture, and
she knew herself handsome, and it never
entered her mind that the reputed wealth
of her father had anything to do with
this wooing, or that, being poor, young
Morris would ha7e sooner thought of one
of the plain Misses Greens, who were
known to be greater heiresses than of
herself. She believed all th.it was said
and looked and acted came from the
heart, and wben a girl oncj thinks her
self beloved it u easy for hr to love iu
return. The thought of bsiug Mrs.
Morris, once by no maan3 an attractive
one, grew daily pleasantcr.
Who would have fancied that that
queer, craffy-lookiag cashier, Peter Aps.
ley, whose nose and cLia nearly met, who
seldom enoks, except on the subject
cf mency, aud who was Lucy Lea's gland
detestation, should have anything to do
with her destiny, especially whoa love af
fairs were on tha carpet ? Lut so it was.
And though no one guessed it, certainly
not the thief himself. The night on
which, slinking dowi to the bank vaults
from his little room iu an upper floor,
Mr. Apslcy unlocked the stfes, and per
petrated a g'feantio robbtty, was the
turning point in Lucy's life. But for
that, on the morrow Mr. Morris would
have accepted Liu. and found herself, in
a mouth or so, Mrs. Morris.
But for that for in the excitement of
the hour, the servant girl, who first heard
the news, rushed all about Applebluw
with if, and over his breakfast Mr, Mor
ris heard that "Lee, the backer, was
ruiued."
He started up with a blush on his face,
and a muttered "I've ten thousand dollars
in the bauk," and eet off in quest of cer
tain tidings.
As far as he could karn, the girl's
words were correct. There would be a
run on the bank that day, and some were
calling Ie a rascal already.
Morris posted hot haste to the bauk and
drew his ten thousand. He saw from the
faces around him that something actually
was wrong, and heard from one or twoj
that Apsley had positively decamped.
In his se'Ssh heart he had lu one ILo't
joy that he hsi saved his money, acd
that lie had not already gone too far in
his courtship to draw back.
The example of young Morris had its
effect. Everybody rushed to the bank to
draw their savings. The banker was in
de-pair. Time would have aved him
but time he could not have.
There was one man whose coming he j
dreaded more than that of any other, and
that man was Daniel Holloway. There
were twenty thousand dollars to his ac
couut, and his call for them on that day
would have been the fatal blow.
Lucy knew this. And when, at htgh
noon, she taw Dan riding on Lis pet horse,
White Beauty, up the road, her heart
sank. She had no power to leave the
garden pailing where sho stood, and fell
faint with anguish.
He tied his horse to a post and came
ou towaid her. Close beUe the gats he
stopped aad touched his hat.
"Good day, Miss Lee," he said.
'Good dry," she faltered.
' I thought I'd steak to yon first," he
oaiJ, lMliig ojrwLr hut at her m L
spoke. "There's trouble iu there, aiu'l
there ?" and he nodded at the bank.
Lucy's tears fell despite all her efforts
"Is it terious?" he asked.
"It need not be," said Lucy. "Papa
savs he only needs time ; but no one will
tjivo him that. They are afraid."
"Tbat's. natural," said Daa.
"Yes," said Lucy, "but they needn't
be."
"Tell me all about it," said Dan.
He looked at Lcr no;v. She looked at
him. As well as she could she told Lim
the exact truth.
'Miss Lucy," he said, when the story
was done, "I think I understand. I think
it's all right with the old gentleman, and
no fiu!i of Lis if it iiu't. Now tell me
this if I don't draw my money, as I
came to, won't that help a bit ? 1 should
think it would. Of course I shouldn't
like to lose it ; but I eaa't believe I will,
and, the truth, now, shan't I ruin the
bank if I draw my money ?"
' Yts," said Lucy. "You can ruin oi
you can save us."
"Then, by Gcorgi I" taid Dan Hollo
way, "I won't ruiu it. I'll trust ia your
ataer asa go Lome, iiooj ye, aiiss
Lucy. Tell Lim, please. It might keep
him lroiu worrying, and at Lis age worry
does no good."
lie turned away, but Luey stopped
him.
"How shall I thank you ?" she said.
Dau looked more shctpUh than ever.
"Don't say anything," Le said. "I've
had aa old father m s-:lf," aud he fail j
bolted, leaving Luey iu a state of mind
quite indiscrihable.
The run continued ; but only for small
iuais, which weie promptly paid; and
wheu Beal the butcher stopped ou his
way to the bank to warn Dan Holloway.
he found him ready to go to town.
"As I'-it drawing my money, I shant,"
said Dan. "Let otheis be fools if they
will."
And Beal, who kne the sum Dan had
there, actually faltered in his purpose, and
rod.5 home. So matters grew more pleas
ant at the bank, and the hour of closing
fouud co sijin of failure.
Before that hour Dan was ia New York.
Something which Le mentioned to no one
took him there.
Ou the previous week he had had busi
ness with the captain of au ocean steamer
lying at a certain dock, aud Eat talking
with him iu the effiee where passengers
purchased tickets.
As he sat there, hidden by a screen, he
heard a voice he knew.and looking around
the desk saw Apsley. He was engaging
a passage for some one of the trnue of
Smith, and came back twice to be iure of
the hour for starting.
As he departed Dan also arose, and the
cashier saw Lira. He looked up in a
startled, disconcerted way aud nodded.
"Pleasant day, Mr. Holloway," he said.
"I've been engaging passage for a friend.
Not for myself, thank fortune. 1 huiild
dread a sea voyage."
"I should lite one," said Dan.
"Ah, you are young," said Mr. Apslcy.
"Aud then I'm so sea-sick wofully se

If he were right, he cjiili . overtake hiiu .
yet.
With this thought he traveled to New
J York, sought the proper authorities, and
before dawn next Jay stood in sight of
the great steamer.
Its captain was, of course, on board.
Daniel sent for him. The conversation
was a brief one. It ended by an intio
ducliou to a certain window lookiug upou
a state-room.
"There is Mr. Smith," said the cap
tain. "Is he your man V
"No," said Dan, with a sigh.
Then he gave a start.
"By George ! it is, though in a red
wig nnd spectacle., and a mustache tl.tt
don't belong to him !" and spoke so loudly
that the sot dUtmt Mr. Smith heating,
made a dash shoreward, where his pro
gress was cut tho! t iy the policeman thorn
on guard.
Late in the dny, the lank cf Leo &
Co., still ej en and the run still continu
ing, a carriage stopped at the door, aud
Ood Jfolfuwajr rprnnij fruxa it, bis l'auo
beaming, his eyes aglow.
"(Jjme lor Ins money at last," groaned
the banker, and stool mute and motiou
less as, marching into his very effice, tho
young farmer doffed his hat.
The bai:ker could hardly gasp, "What
can I do for you, sir '!"
The answer wss an unexpected ceB :
"You can come and take a look at Mr.
Apsley, if you like, sir. We've got him,
out there money and all," and then Dau
Holloway told Lb stoiy.
So the bank was saved and no one ru
ined, aud Luey, happy as a bird, could
have kissed Dan Holloway instead of
merely shaking hands with him; and he,
conscious of having done great good, and
being really liked, if ouly for that, wast
quit's a different person from sulky Dan,
who had no words to spare for anybody.
The backer would have him dine with
him that day, and iu ihe evening he walk
ed with Luey in tho garden. The moon

dutky poplars.
"It will be a splendid night," said Dan.
"Yes," said Luey, "uud to think what
a wretched niLt it might have besa for
us."
Dan looked at her.
"The idea of your being wretched," lo
said. "Why, I'd rather die myself than,
think of it."
Luey shook her Lead. So Morris had
often said, and she knew all about him by
this time.
"Dying is no easy matter," she said.
"It's easier than living sometimes,"
said Dan, "aud believe me or not, I'd bo
willing to die to night if I could be suro
you would never cave."
Lucy looked at him with tears in her
eyes, aud something in her face set Dan's
shyness quite to flight. He caught hec
hand.
"Lucy," said ho, "if yon could only
like me well enough to be my wile, I'd
do the best a man could to make you
happy as long as I lived. Cau't you,
Luey? If you only knew how long
have loved you, I think you would."
He waited. She made no anwer. A
moment more Le bent over her and kissed
her. She kissed him back.
So before long there was a wedding,
and the world oi Appleblow went to
church to witness it, and a few wondered
"What Miss Lee could see in Dan ?" and
others whispered how well he looked and
how happy. Aud young Morris now
cnned to the plain Miss Green, who
had the most money shut himself up
j that day with Lis cigars, undt-r the plea of
a bad toothache, od was iu no ploasaat
mood lor long duys after.
As for the brief courtship, it was not
repented of at hii.-ure, for if ever ihuro
was a happy couple and a happy home,
they are to be found at the Holloway
farm, now happy aud homelike as mortal
dwelling tuny be.
