John Francit fi'allti . THE TURN OF AN ACCIDENT. It was six o'clock of a crisp October morning, and John Boyd, farmer, rotis lnsr Irom his pound night's sleep. sprang outof rwd with the alrt readiness of a man who Knows the value of the first hour of the day U was a tavern bed from which -he jumped; homo and its fared w ru many miles away ; buta long rldo lay be' ore him, and he washed and dressed brtckly, ns one in haste, hum mlnr a ihoirinl nir meanwhile, as be caruo a man who telt himself in good spirit ', and bad ample reason for doinp o. For. be it known, this year had I roved the best for farmers since John i ad be?n hit own master. Harvest? 1 ad been large, prices high, and John, on his vi ay back from the annual mar fcct. carried a senneof freedom and lib eration at his heart horn the final ex tinguishment of a mortgage on his farm a nfortgage' which" liaa pressed a heavily on liis conceit nee us did the burden of Christian on his shoulders Tho burden was lifted now; and, fur ther than th.-t, John carried in his fat root va!let two hundred dollars, over nnd above, toward the expenses of the next year. He had never been so fore handed ' before- and tho sensation wa- a .joyful one. 'My neck is out of the coilar now.' he muttered to himself as he brushed his thick brown hair. I th mid be a tool indeed it I put it in sgiin. No rnoro mortgages for me!' '1 uen. his toilet completed, he ran downstairs, two steps at a time. Farmer-like, his first visit was to hia horses. Tlicv were munching their corn satisfactorily: and after a look or two. and a Dat. John returned to the Inn. where a iauzlinz bell announced breakfast. It was smoking on the table a substantial meal of the kind untver sal in taverns thirty years ago: and John Boyd, whoso appetite was of the kind proverbially said to accompany a good conscience, was doing it ample iustice. when a sudden instinct led him to thrust his hand iuto the inner pocket which held the two hundred dollars. Tim wh.Hct was cone! In the suddenness of the shock, John felt himself pale, and then flusn pain fullv. as he confusedly tried to remem ber if he had taken out the wallet, and when.- Under his Dillow that was it He recollected distinct Jfor so itseemed, putting it there, for Wcurity's sake, whistled Boftly to himself for a minute, with his eyes fixed on the tumbled bed ding; then he went to the stair head and called his wife. Presently they came in together, the 1 .ndlady s face very red and troubled. ' Such a thing never happened in myi house before,' she protested. lut there's only one person been in your room since you came besides yourself, and she's the person you must reckon with,' pointing to the maid, who. with white cheeks and downcast eyes, leaned against the wall as if awaiting ser tencc. "Oh, indeed, indeed I didn't take it! I never (aw any wallet," she said ; but her voice was drowned in Mrs. Nash's louder tones.- And pray who else took it, do you suppose? Who else had the chance P Answer me that. It serves me just right for taking in a girl with no recom menda girl I didn't know nothing about, not so much as her name, or where she come from, or who her folks are. Five weeks to-morrow, that's all the time she s been in the house, sir; but this is the end of it. It's the last time I'll ever have a help I don't know all the long and short of, so you needn't feel alraid to stop with us again no, nor none of your friends, cither; and as for bnr suit- aha vxnstlra f h ia H n v? ' ' Id better go for the constable, hadn't f if you to sure it was under the pillow you put it,' suggested the land lord. Oh. don't, mease: mease don t.' pleaded the girl, weeping violently. 'Give the gentleman his wallet back, then, and perhaps he'll let you off.' I can't, l haven't got it. l never daw it. Oh, please believe me. Don t send mo to jail,' she urged. The nndlady only answered uy a sound expression of disgust. And throwing her apron over her head, the poor girl wept in eilence, saying no more. John had held his peace during this altercatiorhrharply eyeing the partus concerned in it meanwhile. The Nashes lie knew something about. They were of good reputation as .far as he was aware. The maid was a stranger to them, as to him; but spite of the cir cumstances, and iier manner, which was hardly less suspicious, he could not bring himself to believe her guilty. He was not a hasty man, nnd he wa ajust one, with a kind heait to hack his tern- p'-rate judgments; and alter a few min utes reflection he 'maw up lr.s mind what to do. I can't swear that I put the wallet under the pillow or anywhere else,' he said. I'm pretty sure-that I did. but mv thoughts about "it "are "confused somehow, and it may be (hat I left it at Ilolton, where I slept on Tuesday. I don't want no injustice done on my ac count. So don'tcrv like that 'address ing himself to the girl. 1 11 tell you what I'll do. Get the bay shod during the day, will you?' to Mr. Nash and if you'll lend me a sadd'.e I'll ride back to Bolton and make injCiry there. If I find the money, well and good; h i don't, it'll be timo enough to talk fur ther about it to-morrow.' I'm sure it is very good of you to take when he went to bed the night before With a muttered excuse, he left the table and hurried upstairs. The door of his room stood ooen. and a maid servant was puling fresh sheets on the bed, the soiled linen lying In a heap on the floor. Toward this heap John hurried and bet'iin turning it over. ' Have you Tost something, sir?' asked the maid John straightened himself up to an swer, lie had not noticed the maid be fore, though she had waited upon table at supper. Now he observed that she was young and rather pretty fair, with a trim, slender figure, beautiful glossy hair, neatly dressed and braided, and a pair of sweet, apprehensive blue eyes He.- voice was soft too: and she had a shv. modest manner which suggested an idea of refinement. All these facts Farmer Boyd absorbed in a flash, and instinctively noting, weighing, estimat ing, by that wonderfully rapid process of which the human miud is capable, while yet his thoughts were full of his money and his loss. Yes. I am looking for my wallet, which I lelt under my pillow. Did you had t?' The girl's face blanched to a deadly whitent-ss, and her eyes dilated as with sudden terror. ' No. sir.' she said, her voice trem blin? and sinking away as she spoke I didn't see anv wallet.' John looked at her distrustfully; but there was something m the pale lace which disarmed suspicion. I'd like to search the bed,' he went on. 'It mav have slipped under the niattres ' Together they turned the mattress, hut no wallet was visible. That off horse of yourn has got his shoe loose somehow,' announced Mr. Nah, the landlord, at the door. I thought i d better tell you, so s you could stop to the blacksmith's as you pass, ai d pet him to put in a couple of n:'ils. . Why, what g the matter!" John explained. " The landlord looked very grave. He so much trouble.' declared the landlady But whether or no. the girl don t stay here. I'll have no suspected thief in my house.' There'll be no thing to suspect her of if I hnd the wallet,' rejoined John, drvlv. 4 Don't Eive the poor thing a bad name till you know that she de- serres it.' Then he left the room, un mindful of the look of srratitude which shone upon him Irom the blue eyes of h t the girl, who had dropped her apron. hBneT B and gazed alter mm un lie was out oi Bight. His reflections were not agreeable as he retraced his footsteps over the dusty highway traveled but yesterday vrith so light a heart. The loss ot his money meant a great deal to John Boyd. The pressure of anxiety seemed to settle again upon his shoulders, as he thought over the probabilities of its non-recovery. 'But I won t give in without a hght for It,' he thought, gnmiy, as ne urged on liis horse. Junes seemed doubly long when measured by a heavy heait, and what with dust, heat and th continual effort to clear his mental con fusion as' to where-and when he last had seen his wallet, the young farmer was fagged and dispirited enough before noon was fairly come. He stopped to dine at a little tavern attached to a toll-gate, and with some vague hope that the money might have been picked up on the road by someone, mentioned his loss. ,The toll-keeper shook his head ' Bolton's your only chance,' he said. I( 'twas on the road you dropped it, there s no likelihood that vou 11 ever hear of it again. The dust s eight inches deep. 1 should say. and there s been three biz droves of sheep and one of bullocks alone since yesterday, so if your wallet was a-lying there, they must have trampled it under pretty thor oughly. It is buried deep enough, you may be sure, unless, wuicn is just as likely to happen, some one has picked it up and made off with it. Your chance is a sum one, J reckon.' Cold comfort this; but John was forced to agree with the opinion. De- soondinfflv he rode throuirh the after noon, scanning the way as he went; for, despite the toll-keeper, a faint hope still lingered in ins heart, tnougn tne iraeu, deep in dust, and churned and trampled by the crowding droves, presented a sorry field for either hope or discovery. He had gained the top of a long hill, from which Bolton was dimly visible, John recollected the spot, and stooping, dug and scooped till again it became visible. His fingers recognized a solid substance. Trembling with excitement. he continued to dig : another second ttie object was uncovered, lifted out, and r.i. Mi i j. i . r :. wail n wnu, incrcuuiuus John Boyd held in his hnnd his wallet, buried deep by the hurrying herds, and uncovered lor one passing momeni inas his eye might detect it, and no other. Except for that lucky stumble, he too would have ridden over the lost treas ure, and never dreamed what lay be nenth his horae's feet. 'And some folks say there ain't no Cod I' was his mental comment, spoken half aloud. Then-for John Boyd's re ligion, though a homely, was a true one ne bent his head and said a few words of thanksgiving; after which, jumping on his horse, lie took the backward route, eazer to tell his eood fortune and exonerate the poor girl, who, ns he now remembered with self-reproach, must have passed a painful day under the stigma of undeserved suspicion. The heat was yielding to evening freshness, and he urged his horse, im patient to set matters straight; but. with his best endeavor, it was after eleven before he at last drew rein in front of Nash's hotel. -He was expected, that was evident, for lights were burn, ins. and both Nash and his wife hur ried out to meet him, wearing faces of lugubrious length, which only In part changed to cheeriuiness wnen tney heard of the recovery of the wallet. There, what did I tell your- cried the husband. Haven't I ben a-saying and a-saying all day that likely as not this scare would turn out air for noth- iner And vou wouldn t listen to a word, but just kept on to that poor thinz inside there, and she's nothing to blame all the time. I declare, it's too bad the way women act to each other and folks calling them " the softer sex!" A man would be ashamed to be so hard. Well, do tell! and so the money was a-lying there in the dust all the time! Well. I'm mighty sriao, lor your sane and ours t o. Go right in, sir, and wife '11 give you some supper. I ll see to the horse." Mrs. Nash waited on the meal in grim silence. She seemed only half re joiced at the denouement. It s mtuhty queer,' sue remarKea, as she set the last dish on the table. 'I don't fee) as if we'd got to the bottom ot it yet. Why didn't Lucy deny more positive?' rsut sue am, saia uonn, Deiween two mouthfuls; 'she said she hadn't got it.' Whv. course she said as much as that. You didn't expect her t o say that she had got it, did you?' rejoined tho landlady, with a hne scorn. 'But she didn't speak uo violent and bold, as you'd expect an innocent girl would.' ' But she was innocent an me iime you know.' . I ain't so over sure about that,' re nlied Mrs. Na-h. with a shake of her lioad. " It's a queer business.' llurrvini out to the barn next morn ing in the best of spirits, a low sighing sob called John's attention to a bench outside the kitchen door, where sat a figure crumpled up into a forlorn little heap, in which he recognized the pretty maid of the, day before. She wore her bonnet, and a bundle lay beside her. Her laco-was hidden on her arms. which were crossed on the back of the bench. 'Why, what's the matter P' said John, t urn in a hack. The eirl looked up with a start. I bez vour pardon,' she faltered. 'I'm l cuan t mean to Biay so up to be extra Christians, but there's a little honesty and decency left among us, which is more than can be said for all places. Well, wh t do you say P Yes or no. There s my hand on it it its yes.' lie held out uis broad paim. iucy hesitated, but for a moment only.v x es. 1 will.' she said. l ve nowhere else to go, and you seem kind.' Another moment and they were driv ing off together down the maple-shaded road, whose yellow and crimson boughs danced overhead against 'October's bright blue weather.' There were peace ana calming in the fresh stillness of the early day. Gradually a little color stole into Lucy's pale cheeks, and John's hot mood gave place to wonted good humor and chec. ' You've had no breakfast, I'll bet,' he said, with a smile. 'And no more have I. I was so mad with that woman that I couldn't swallow a mouthful, but now I beiin to feel sharp enough. We'll stop at the next tavern, oouthwick. isn t it? Five miles and a halt. Can you hold out till thenP' 'Oh vaa indopri with Oh, yes, indeed,' with a grateful look out of the blue eyes. John's tone grew more and more friendly. We 11 have something hot and hearty there.' he said. 'You look pale. 1 guess you didn't sleep any too much last 'Oh. I couldn't sleep at all. Mrs. Nash told me that I must go the first thinz in the morning, and H felt so badlv-' I shouldn't think you would want to stay with a woman like that But it's so dreadful to have nowhere to go to. And besides ' She stopped abruptly, with a look like terror in her eyes. . 'Have you no friends, then?' asked John. ' No.' The tone was very reserved ; but reserve could hardly fail to melt under so sunshiny a presence ns John Boyd's, and before the long day's ride was done he nan won irom ner tue mam facts of her storv Lucy Dill was her name, tier mother had married for the second time when Lr.cv was twelve years old, and three years airo, wheji the gin was oareiy fifteen, had died, lcavinz her to the protection of her stepfather.
