'Will yon, bj it hotna to niht Annie The i.eisnn who asked this Question a tall, muscular, good looking young farm- ier, was leaning upon quiro .noore ( front gate talking to the Squire's pretty daughter, who stood inside of it. As the simple words passed his lips he reddened i . .i CI; suuuctiiy 10 i:ie very roots oi uis iair hair, as if he h id just been jilty of1 some great impropriety. lie was bai-hful extremely bashful j was David Winthrop at least in the j presence of young ladies, most of all in 1 l,n 1.ifi.1 'n I UV; i-t-UVVi VI1V 11 uv 1'Jil.u.

But the sight of a j pretty foot or face coming V.3 way afftc- ! ted him queer'y. Oa such occasions he ; eVer knew what to do with bis hands ! and eyes and seemed always to fee! like j screwing hitnstlf into the nearest mouse dgvr-tl.at is to say the young laity was past. ti.:. ... ( ,1.:.... t,. . M.,-.. .1 no one cvci understood how he contrived S to muster np courage enough to enlighten j Annie Moore on the subject of his pre j feience for himself. The mattter pro j bally remains to this day as much a ' mystery to mm n iu oi... JIiss Annie, however, Lad a lair share of tact aud womanly cleverness stowed safely away somewhere in the recesses of her pretty little head, although it was carried jauntily upon the inexperienced and rounded shoulders of fresh eighteen She did not need to le reminded that David was worth, iu a worldly way, much more than any of her other suitors and that he was good Dking, good-hearted and intelligent enough to satisfy any but an over fastidious person of her chug. He was unexceptionable, in short, barr ing Lis unconquerable and excessive bashfiiiuess, which indeed was a never failing source of merriment to the young people of their little circle. And so, when David in his awkward, blundering, half frightened manner be gan shyly to exhibit his preference for her in various little ways, such as wait ing on her to and from singing school, constituting himc!f her escort when she went Sundays 011 horseback to the lone ly little church iu the woods, and sing ing her out as the recepieut of whatever attentions lie cobM find the nerve to pay at the frequent quilting parties in the neighborhood, Annie did not frighten him out of his budding passion by any show, tithcr by surprise or marked . pre ference, but took it all in the easiest, plcasantest, unconscious manner possible The girls tittered and nudged each, other elbows, and the young men cracked fur tive jokes at the expeuce cf her timid suitor, but she stood np for him like a reol kiud hearted, independent Western lass, as she was, and tried to encourage him out of his shyness as far aa she con sisteutly could. She never seemed to notice any of his unfortunate blunders, and very likely helped him along considerably when his feelings reached the culmiuating poiut, one moon lighted August evening, as they were walking home together from a coru-huskiag party. That had been just oue week ago. Annie had said "yes," and had agreed to take the responsibility of bringing father and mother ''around' on the eub- jject. David had not been to the house I since. Probably he ftlt very much like j a dog who fears to venture upon tLa premises of a person whose shecofold he i has just plundered. Thu3 itrhappeued 1 that aa yet the powera that were, knew I nothing of the momentons secret, which they kept between themselves, fearing to divulge. AbJ now, Annie, who- wished to pnt off the ordeal of n bybI as long aa po?8ih!e at any rate to gain time for otic more confidential talk wi)h David on thesubjoct, saiJ hagtHr in reply to that ftammereJ query of hia with which we have prefaced tins narration : "Mother is going over to Aunt Ruth's with father to ppend the evening and ehe wants me to go, but I guess I wont. I've been working on lather's near thina all day, besMes doing the dairy work yes Icrday, and I'm about tired out." Thru tLe added before he could re ply : Don't come until 8 o'clock. I shall be about through putting things to rights by that time " Of course David v. as not too c-utase to understand that ha was specially fa vored by this arrangement, and he so f.tr forgot Ms fcaphfulness as to petition awk wardly for a parting kiss, which was at once re fused in the most inexorable man ner possible. "Xo, you shan't ! There, now ! Do take yourself off, will you ? D'ye think I didn't eco you fidgeting around Km. Smith at Deacon Anderson's sociable last ' night ! I've not forgotten that sir !" 'Oh, now, Annie ! jast one ! ' But further appeal was broken tff by a tantalizing little laugh, and when, ren dered desperate by, this, ho tried to revenge hiir.s. If, and at the very moment when Le thought he was secure of the coveted blies and stooped his head tritim phantly over his struggling prisoner, the rosv. lauhit.r face vanished sudd .leniy Mroin umJcr his arm and was off and j away up the garden pat a teaumg to me .iiii i , -"'"'- " i lau" happened.

So there was nothing to be done but to turn re- liictantly licm the irate and taking the j j o x.3 i road homeward. If you could have looked into the family sitting roo: at Squire Moore's j shortly before eight o'clock on that same j evening, you would have had a cheery j picture before you. The after-supper i cieaiiog away 101a ioit, lur uiu Billing , , .li-i 1 ivufl loii tiir roi,m where Hie iLulv meats of the family were eaten. The leaves of the old fashioned dinner tabic had been let down, and the table itself cov ered wilh bright oilcloth, set against the wall. The crumbs had been carefully brushed with a turkey wing from the neat home made carpet, and Annie's 'workstand was drawn up in front of the ample and blazing firo of hickory logs which crackled cheerily iu the old-ft.-h-ioned fire-place. A beautifully piled tray of red-checked apples aud a plate full of cracked walnuts were on it, in close proximity to Annie's coquettish work-backet, made of pine cones by her own deft lilt'o hands, aud daintily lined wilh blue silk. On one side of tbc fire place sat Mrs. Moore, fat, fair, more than forty, aud at peace with all the world. She sat sway ing backwards and forwards at intervals iu her low rocking chair, knitting as ehe rocked, and refreshing herself now and theu with a mouthful from a half eaten apple which lay within easy reach, just npou the corner of the table ; or touch ing in a caressing manner with ths tip of her foot a sleek, lazy-looking gray cat that lay purring and bliuking on the hearth rug before her. Annie sat on the other side of the U ble dtftly drawing her needle ia aud out, of a long piece of white cambric, and with her head as busy as her han3l with trying to conceive seme clever way of incidentally mentioning the visit, which she was now momentarily expecting, to her mother, without exciting the suspi cion of its being a prearranged affair. She would have given a, good deal to have been able to say iu an off-hand manner that she wouldut wouder if Mr Winthrop were to drop in, as he was in the habit of calling occasionally on Sat urday evening at about thia time. But she xecollected, with a twinge of con science, how hard she bad tried the old lady to accompany her husband on the promised visit to Aunt Ruth's in spite of her forewarnings rf a coming spell of neuralgia, which hat ' intimidated her from venturing out into the damp night air ; and also how she pleaded headache as an excuse for not going herself. She knew that her mother was quL'e sharp enough to draw her own inference from these two facta, and the additional one of her being dressed with more than usual care to spend an evening at home. "I shall not dare to tell her now," she said to herself "She'd bo sure to think that I wanted to get her out of the way, so that I might have David all to my self." So like a wise little puss she was silent. I'll venture my word on it," you would not have wondered at our bashful young ; farmer's desperate enthralment if ycu could have seen Annie Moore as she sat sewing by the fire that frosty night in jNovember. she bad, just befor; supper, indulged in what a Western girl would call a "filing up."

Almost at the same moment she put her hand on the latch of the outer door, and onenin?' it' she. 'suddenly found herself in the ardent embiaees of a pair e , . , 1 1 . of siout arms.

But thti intruder had by this time discovered his mistake, and it did not need'the indignant pummelling and potmdiug of t!ia old lady's respectable fists to make him relinguii-h his hold and race off as if pursued by some aven ging fury. .Annie, nearly choahed with smothcied laughter, in spite of trepidation, now came to the rescue.
