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:

i your bell it's right there at hand—and
i Sally will come in. 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

In the time of Augustus Caesar
books in the form of papyrus rolls,
copied by overworked and underpaid
slaves from the authors' original
manuscript, were abundant and a ton
ishingly cheap. Horace hints in one of
his epistles that his works were being
pirated and sold so cheap that they
were getting into the hands of the i b

a copy of his Thirteenth bo< k may lie
