SWETT f, Ji> OLD Farmer lirownlee was movjug alowly across his big. onion iield. He '* as on bis hands and kneee, acd h.s iiead va- l*eni. low so that hkt ncar e:ghtedey«'«could distinguish the weeds ninong the tLny, Tipright onion pelt ts. Nov. ar.d then hi raised himself wearily. His Viaclt was too old and rheumatic for puch work, and he wished that one of his boys had cho? n to be a fnrrr.er In stead of a busiLe-H or profeasior.al man. When at hom< they had taken nil -uch work u» tiii.- from him, but now tlielaftt or.a of them v. ;s pneking hi* tn.r.'k for the city, and hereafter he rnufcl do his own chorea and onion weeding. We_l, he would not complain; the boy; had bettered them*elv..s, and thut was what he most, desired. When he reached the end of the row he fctraightentd his shoulders v.lth a iigh of relief. Then a look of surprised inquiry came into hit face. He thought he kr.ew«-very boy In the neighborhood; but there, from the topmott rail of his f' nee, a rrgged, unknown hoy < f ' f2 or 33 woe reg-ardlng him earnestly. As he looked up the boy grinned conci.- iatlcgly. "What i« them things you're surare* ' fill "liout tendln', mister?" ho fu-ktd. Farmer Itrownlee'h face darkened. I The liVea that anyor»e could be eo lg- , norant as not to recognise growing on- j ic4i» never entered lib. head. "None of jour Mas, boy," he eald, 1 angrily ; "an'just siippoie you git down | ' off that fence. Fust you know there* I i ' be a rail broke, or Ruthin'." The boy sprang nimbly to the ground; j ! but it, was on the inflde of the fence and i J not on the outside, as the old man had ] , Intimated. "I'd like awfully well to know what ! they be, mister," he Mild, as he lKf.it ! down to examine the green, needle-like j points. "I've )>ceti watch In' you a long time, an' 'apcrse likely they're some ex tra lice posies, you're so careful of 'em. j But «ay. If you don't ntiud, I'd Mke to : try a raw of 'em across. I b'llcve I can ! do it." The look of anger ou Farmer ISrown lee's face became uno of astonishment. A boy anxious to weed onions! und not know what they were. Two phen' mi ua that made him ulxiiost speech let: IJIB boys had always been willing to dc the work for him, buthecould not. rt> member that, either of them hnd ever seemed anxious for tli" Job. "Not—know —on lone' Well, tb< t lieatn roe!" Then u rjulrzical look came Into hla I d'kuow'w I mind yo.i goiri' across aud iiat k. I'll sit uruli i this tree an' sort o' k« ep nn o%enilgl/. You must be earcftd an' lK»t ptill up any onions An' say," at the boy dropped on his kne'-a u>.tilde one ol the rows, "you haven't told rne yovi namO yet, nor where you come from " "Boy Cooper; an' Fm Oiie of the ii' sh-air boys ovei ut that fnrmhouM t'other side the hill." "Urn! yes; I b'lleve I did hear ttol I'i rklus speak of tuklu' some street fur a week. ('l.t/.V idee, 1 thought it." For ♦Wine minutes he watched the l»oj dubiously; then fhe uncertainty left his face, and hn leaned back comfortably against the tre* "Mighty spry with his linger*, an' till!' * It IV ui;«- ■ * rn> thought, approvingly "Do the work twice as fast a* I can, If lie la a greeny U'inl rntfkln' of another good farmer lost iti him, I e'pose." Here his eyes cl'>-ed, aiid they had not opened W'he i the boy came beck on his eecond row. A sharp *crtitlny, Hob turned to the third row and again wend*-d Mi way slowly acroMt the Held. As he rose' from the. sixth row he heard tin sharp eiung of a bell. Going} to tin" old man, he touched him lightly on the shoulder ' I guess likely that'* yout dlnrtel bell, mister," ho outd. "Dinner bell? Hhol ahol Talnl nine o'clock yet. I only }ist shet my eyes a minute." He glanced up at the sun, then down, at the newly-deeded onions and his fA«e lengthene<l into In credulous astonlahment. "You don't mean you've weeded six row it! Why that'* much a* my obstinate old back'll let me do In a whole day." Again the dinner bell sounded. "Yes, that's tut me, sure enough Won't yon come In an' eat wilh me?" "No; Mis' I'erkins'll wonder where I've gone. Hut If you don't mind I'll come buck soori's I'M* eat. I'd like t«. try them onions again." "Mind! I should think not. Fin al ways glad to run uerooa audi help." It, was nearly half a milt* to Solomon I'erkins', but when the old man re turned to his onion Ib id he found Hot liK'-ivdy there and well down In Ida n v euth row. They work«-<l until dark; then lhen.li, man t<sik out his pocketbook Hoi shook his head and grinned "I don'l want no money, mister; bat if you'l let me cotiiei again to-morrow I'll b* much obliged." "Come all you want to. 'J here'i plenty of wfirk, an' we can settle whei we're through Hut It seems sort o: hard lor you to come down here on ii vacation IIU' then woik all tin- time." "Oh, that's all right, I like farm in';" anil with a »|ulck spring In* win over the fenee and running acroe* th# field It took three day* to weed tin onions, and when they were finlahco the old man again t<»ok out hi" pocket ltook, but again Hob hook his head The old man lookeil perplexed. "Com*, come, Isiy take the money,* he urged. "I don't, want noboih It work for me fur not hi 11' Yoti'vc alrm d It, every cent " Hob ahuflled Ills feet nn«l looked at the old man eldaway* "I 'lldn't cunt foe no tnoßev," he snl<!'; "hut thrre'i *ot>iethlng else line has my work •utted ?"
