Copyright, J WW, b> t. C. i'arcells K feWWWVWWv^Vw^WWVWV*^; Orestes Magin stood twirling his red mustache, his eyes downcast, his heart beating like a trip hammer. Well might it beat fast! He had just asked Squire Maicoin for his daughter. The squire was a choleric uerson at the best of times, but this morning hto humor was fiendish. Orestes, of course, did not know that. There was a reason for the mood, slight, to be sure, but any reason was ■mfflcient when the time came for one of the old gentleman's rages. He was nearly as proud of his melon patch as of his daughter and felt it a personal insult if anybody else presumed to have melons earlier. Yet here were those miserable Dawsons, outlauders, city bred at that, sending him a melon fully ripe with their compliments and all because he had laughed at Dawson and his gardener when they had talked to him about a certain extra early kind. Now, It would l>e quite ten days be fore he could return the sending. "Want my girl, eh? Isn't there something else? Don't be mealy mouthed. Ask for my eyeteetli or the farm and all the money I've got In bank!" ho roared at poor Orestes, who stooil nervously shifting his feet. "By George, sir, I'm amazed at your mod eration; Of course I've raised Edith just a-purpose to see her throw herself away. Dou't interrupt me, sir! I know all you're going to say—you love her and don't care a bit that she'll have more money than any other girl around. I've heard that from better men than you are. I tell you, as I've told them, she's not for any such cat tle. I want her myself yet awhile. When 1 give her tip it's going to be to a man. He off with you now, sir, and don't let me see you here again—not unless you're willing to swear there shall be no more of this nonsense." "I'm going." Orestes said hoarsely, turning half about. "But what you call 'this nonsense' is going to last— with me and with Edith, too. I believe. We'll wait :t year to let you come to a better temper. But I'm going to see her across your gate every little while. I won't ever set foot on your land again, though, unless you ask it." "Do you think I'll have such scandal ous behavior?" the squire shouted. A hand fell over his lips. Edith had crept up behind him. "Unless you will have It I shall go with Itestes right straight off," she said, with a set of the mouth and a lowering of the brow that made of her her father's daughter. In suffocating anger that forbade speech the squire waved the pair away. Edith would not go. She held out her hand to Ores tes, saying: "I'll be at the gate tonight. We'll settle things there." Then as the young fellow strode off she fetched cool water to bathe the squire's head, fanned him and made him sit under the grapevines, saying no word to him until he had come to a semblance of reason. When she saw his head droop thoughtl'ull.v and his cane make faint plunges Int > the turf she whispered: "Don't fret yourself sick, father. You know you can't really say anything against Restes. He's as good as he's ugly." "He's a molly coddle, brought up at his granny's apron strings," the squire interrupted. "Then 1 like molly coddles, and I've heen brought up to know men," she said, running away to see abaut din ner. The squire looked after her with a scowl that softened at last to a sigh. He thought the world of her. Love was indeed at the bottom of his scorn for poor Orestes. Fate bad hard lines ahead of the squire. Edith went duly to the gate every Wednesday evening at sundowu and spent an hour there In earnest talk with her sweetheart. Even the squire could not bring himself to ig nore Orestes completely when they met, but he never went beyond the gruff nod all the three Sundays before he was laid by the heels. Obstinacy— of man arid beast—brought that about. Bllcky. the buggy mare, took occasion to balk just at the top of the lane hill, ami, instead of humoring her bj walking up what remained of the rise, her master sat tight and tried to make her pull him. The result was much backing, kicking and at last an upset vehicle and a broken leg for the squire with the prospect of spending a month at least flat on his back. He roared and raged if by any chance Edith was out of his sight. For two weeks she did not see Orestes, but when the third Wednesday came she put on her bonnet with the air of a per son not to be gainsaid. At the door of the squire's room she paused to say: KILLTHE COUGH AM> CURE THE LUNCS with Dr. King's New Discovery ___ /Consumption Price » FDR I OUGHSand 50c & SI.OO Free Trial.

You'd better ring ! it every little while, else she'll goto | sleep. 1 hare going, but there Is no i other way—not unless you"— j She stopped tentatively, her eyes ! wistful. The squire glared at her, his I eyes full of fury. "So! This is your no ' tion of duty." he said thickly. "Verj j well. Go your gait! I'm old and help ! less, but there are a few things I can j do." "Yes. you can ring for Sally and scare her out of her wits," Edith said, trying to laugh as she walked away. I At the doo'siep she was tempted to go back, but the thought of Orestes waiting so patiently at the roadside was too much for her. The squire lay for ten minutes tense ly brooding, his face drawn and lined. Then be s:it up an! began recklessly tc hitch himself out of bed. Within reach were the crutches which lie was to es say tomorrow. Once he put out his hand to the bell, but drew it back, mut tering: "No! By the Lord, I'll do it all my elf! I'll show them they can't run o .vr me- not quite." Then, still mut tering and mumbling, he wrapped him se'-f in his dressing gown, reached for the crutches and swayed and staggered across to the door. 'ilia squire sat down heavily upon the second step of the broad stairway and liei craftily going up backward. He lift.-! himself from tread to tread, then drew the crutches after him. By some whin he had kept his desk aud all his papers in the big south chamber that had been his wife's. He was going there now. If lie* lived to come back from it, he would leave behind a new will, one that would come near to disinheriting his rebellious child. It would do more than that. It would set forth her re hellion, her neglect of him, in such fashion as to shame her, here where honor to parents was so vital a part of decency. Painfully, with set teeth and agoniz ed twinges, he won to his goal and sat in front of the opened desk. He found the will readily and tore it through an grily, then wrote upon the biggest frag meut, "This Is the work of a neglected father." Hut all this had taken time, aud dusk was falling rapidly. He snatched up a fre;h sheet and began to write, but the racing dark ness was too quick for him. Before he was half through he stopped and look ed about him, full of thwarted, impo tent rage. He flung out his hand and struck it against a taper which had lain there so long he hud forgotten It. I'.y its feeble light he finished the new will and signed his name with a heavy, scrawling flourish. Slowly, heavily, he got up and tried to steady himself while he put the crutches in place, but a sharp twinge made him stagger. He lost balance and fell prone, overturning the lighted taper and bringing It in contact with the content!! of an open drawer. They blazed up merrily. In a wink the whole room was ablaze. As he lay helpless he saw the flames lick at the carvings on top of the desk. Then In deed the squire groaned aloud and dragged himself to the open window. A wall of tire was behind him, be fore' him a fall of almost twenty feet! To swing out and drop down below meant certain death even If he had strength for It. He shouted, but noth ing came of it. Sally was really fast asleep in the cool back yard. He shut his eyes and thought of Edith's moth er. In the great extremity there came a flash of comfort—when he was dead both wills would be burned, and Edith, his only child, would have everything. He ought to have been angry, but somehow he could not be. The mount ing flames made his own wrath look poor and tame. He had given up and was waiting for the end when straight through the wall of fire there burst a slim figure, sheeted and blackened, but moving like the light itself. In a wink It had torn off the wet blankets pro tecting it, swathed the squire in them aud was beating him out to safety re gardless of the (tames that leaped at its own head. Once through the door other arms laid bold on him and helped to bear l:i:n i'.jwii tlie stairs.
