MERCY FOOTE'S RECONSTRUCTION. A RUG pathway meandered from the kitchen door to the parlor A A. door, -with ramifications on elth er aide to chairs and sofa and table, Square rags and round rugs and oblong, octagonal, oval rugs filled up all the chinks. There was scarcely a square Inch of the carpet visible anywhere. The two or three ambrotypes ana toel engravings In solemn black wal nut frames were befogged behind veils of mosquito netting. The comfortable looking lounge was draped in crisp, clean newspapers to protect the new covering underneath. The face of the clock on the mantel looked out coyly through Its veil of netting. It was dim and cool in the big, cleat, room and empty. They sat in the kitchen or, on especially hot evenings. out on the porch. There was so much danger of files in the sitting room, and dust and sun-fading and all aorta of dreadful things, especially in dog days. It was dog days now. Mercy Foote was upstairs In the un finished chamber, "resting"; but it was so hot and so close that even to rest was hard work. She never dreamed of going Into one of the spotless, speckless chambers and "mussing up" one of the white, plump beds. Mercy Foote was a very neat woman some of the neigh bors openly called her "p'ison neat." About midway of the afternoon Nath an Foote came up through the orchard . from the hay field. lie wnlked very slowly, as if it hurt him. Every min ute or two he mopped his bald, shiny head with bis handkerchief and drew long, tired breaths. Nathan was almost an old man a good deal older than Mercy. He had been working hard all day, and every Individual old muscle felt strained and sore; and bow his back ached! It was a rather long way, too, up to the house. Mercy put her Hps to the window screen and called sharply to him when he came Into sight round the corn house. "Nathan, go In through the stable," she called, "and mind you slide the door to real quick behind yon! I've been out there fly-powdering. I don't want to have files following you in. Shut it the Instant!" "Yes, Mercy," Nathan said, wearily. It looked like a long, circuitous route Into the house, and he was very tired. He slid Into a narrow crevice In the door, rubbing his aching bones against the edges. Then he braced himself and lid back the heavy door. In the sudden transition from the hot glare outside to the dusky interior he felt dizzy and blinded, and had to sit down on a wagon thill a minute. Then ' he shuffled up the steep stairs and through the "shop" and woodhouse to the kitchen, opening and shutting all , the doors with conscientious dispatch. ' Mercy's voice drifted down to him, muf- i fled but incisive. "Don't wash in the best wasbdlsh, ' Nathan. I've got It all scoured up. You get tbe old one over the tubs In the , woodhouse. and mind you empty the ' water out In tbe asparagus bed. I don't ! like to have the sink all wet up." ! "Yes, Mercy." He got the old basin and filled It and 1 set it on a chair with the soft gap j crock. Some of the drops splashed tc . the shining floor, and stooping with evl- j dent pain, be wiped tbem up carefully, i "I declare," he murmured, "I don'l I know as I was ever more beat out than ! I am this afternoon! I don't know as 1 was ever! I guess I've got to lie down spell." "Nathan r "Yes, Mercy." "If you're thirsty, you'd better draw some water out of the well; the pump's all dry and clean. I gave It a bard cleaning to-day, the last thing." Nathan took the basin of water out through the shop and stable door and emptied it over the asparagus bed. He made a second journey over the same toilsome route for a drink of water. "I've got to lie down somewhere right away!" he muttered. "I'm all beat oit!" "Nathan!" Mercy called. "Yes. Mercy." "Did you rub your feet on the mat Id the porch and the scraper?" " The scraper's out to the kitchen door, Mercy!" Nathan called back, rais ing his voice with an effort. "Did you rub 'em on tbe porch mat?" "Yes. I don't know as I did all th times. I did once." A groan, muffled but clearly audible, descended to Nathan. "I can't help It!" he muttered. T guess I'll go He down on the sitting room sofa for a minute. I'll have to; I can't stand up." He took off his boots and padded soft, ly along the rug pathway. It was so dim In there that not till he got close ta the lounge did he notice the newspapers' covering It. He lifted one of them off with a determined twitch pf his lips, but replaced it hastily, and padded soft ly back to the kitchen, ne went to the loor. "Mercy," he called up, "Where's the hist paper? I don't see It anywhere." "Goodness. Nathan Foote, shut that door! You'll let In a. mess of flltjsP' "Where's the last paper, Mercy 7 Nathan's diminished voice rose, patient; .-.nil tired, to Mercy's ears through the il'ised door. "It's all piled up nice, Nathan. You :ou't want it now. You take the al ;: nac over the kitchen table and read II e jokes!" she called back. He got the 2'lmanac and put on his boots. Then !.e dragged them wearily, step by step, oat to the stable. His griraled. Beamy fare was drawn with exhaustion and pain. Mercy Foote came downstairs at pre cisely ft o'clock to fat Wfgy. ; " bo atappod over the kitchen threshold the laat stroke of the Clock waa clang ing.

"Goodness," she exclaimed, "there's a flyl there's two flies r She caught op one of the deftly folded' newspapers that she kept hidden In handy nooks and proceeded to wage war.

"Nathan's been In there yes, there's a wisp of hay on the speckled rug! Now I s'pose I've got to go to sweeping!" - It waa quarter of 8 before supper was ready on the little kitchen table. Mercy had arranged the dishes precisely, bat there seemed very few of them. "It's too hot to light tbe Ire, and 'twould muss up dreadfully tbe shavings and all. We'll have Just a cold lunch. Nath an oughtn't to eat hearty victuals after haying and getting all heated up. "Nathan! Na-than!" she called from the porch door, which she warily open ed only a crack. He was not out there. She could not find him anywhere. She went all over the house, and peered from all the tightly screened windows. She put on her sunbonnet and biew the dinner horn. She always put on her sunbonnet when she blew the horn, nobody knew why. Mercy didn't know herself. There was a little circular hole in the upper part of the kitchen door, protect ed by a swinging disk of wood. It was to blow the dinner horn through. Na than made It for her so that she need not open the door and run the risk of the entrance of flies. She slid away the wooden cover and quickly inserted the end of tbe born into tbe hole, and blew long, resonant blnsts. They echoed back to her lonesomely. Tbe clock struck six seven. Still Nathan did not come. Mercy went out to the bayfield and all over the little farm. Her heart grew heavy with new. unacknowledged dread. Where was Nathan? "I'm beginning to get scared," poor Mercy confessed to herself. Why was it that she kept remembering the sharj words she bad said to Nathan? Why did she remember bow old and tired out he bad looked at dinner? Terrible things she bad read of and heard of kept recurring to her mln;l with dark insinuation. Could It be pos sible that weary old men with fussy, scolding wives ever ever Oh, no! But where could Nathan be? Eight o'clock one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight slow, solemn, significant clangs: Mercy went out Into tbe woodshed In to the stable anywhere, away from the sound of the clock's voice that scolded incessantly. Tbe hungry old horse In bis stall was whinnying and pawing for his supper. Mercy stroked his nose. "I'll get you some hay, pony," she said. She went upstairs to throw it down to him, and there was Nathan asleep In the bay! He lay in the pro found, relaxed slumber of utter weari ness. The yellow almanac had fallen from his fingers and lay beside him. She knew be was tired, and not very well. He bad been driven to take his rest In the barn! Mercy tiptoed back Into tbe house, breathing, long, free breaths all -the way, and forgetting to shut the doors. She built a fire and filled tbe teakettle and made many trips to the pantry, coming back with sundry dishes that Nathan liked, and crowding tbe table with tbem. She took a lighted lamp In to the sitting room and set it on tbe ta ble. With a vigorous sweep of her arm she bundled together the newspapers on tbe lounge and carried them out. "There." she said, "now I'll fetch a pillow and put the pnier handy." A few minutes later she stood in tbe porch door and blew long, steady, pene trating calls on the horn. Nathan beard them and came In, looking guilty. "I guess I went to sleep, Mercy," he said. "I must have. I was all beat out when I came in." They sat down together to the savory little supper.

The New York Telegram noteo thai the first stage coach seen In England waa a boat the year 1568, and another 120 years passed before stage coacbe; began to ran; they were not received with much favor. In 1673 a treatise was published In London by "A Lovei of His Country, and Well Wisher tc the Prosperity Both of tbe King and Kingdoms," in which war used many elaborate arguments and violent ti rades against them. "These coaches and caraTans," said the writer, "are one of the greatest mis chiefs that hath happened oi late years to the kingdom, mischievous to the pub Uc, destructive to trade and prejndlcia' o lands." He laments the decay of good horse manship, which would follow It every body rode to London in a coach. lie calculates that a coach from York, Chester or Exeter would have forty horses on the journey to the capita! and carry eighteen passengers a week. In the whole year It would carry abou: 1,872. Suppose there were rernrnine passengers there would be 836, and for these forty horses would be sufficient but If people traveled In the good, old fashioned way, then at least 500 horses would be required for the work. The use of so many horses would give em ployment to many who were by the stage coach thrown out of work, such as cloth workers, drapers, tailors, sad dlers, tanners, curriers, shoemakers. spurriers, lorlmers and fellmakers. Tbe Inns would also suffer, for the stage coach stops only at a few, but when gentlemen traveled on horseback, ac companied, as they usually were, by two or three servants, they stopped at any and as often as they liked, ant thus encouraged trade. Farmers will be ruined, he says, by tbe stage coach; for how can they dis pose of their hay, straw and horse corn? Moreover, the influence on health would be bad; men called out of their beds before daylight, hurried from place to place until far on into the night, in the summer stifled witb beat and choked with dust. In the win ter starving and freezing with cold or choked with filthy fog, obliged to ride all day with strangers and with sick, ancient and diseased persons and with children crying, poisoned with fetid breaths and crippled by the crowd of boxes and bundles. Besides all these troubles there were accidents arising from tbe rotten coaches and foul roads. In short, the writer Is fully convinced that if stage-coach traveling becomes popular the country will go to ruin.

The outer uniformity about wills to general both as to parchment and pen manship, makes all the more note worthy the last testament of the late Sir George Parker.
