Very soon afterwards Joe learned the old man's mind indireotly is regard to his fixture disposal of Minnie's hand, and he quickly saw his case was a hope. less one, unless he resorted to stratagem; and so be set his wits at work. By agreement, an apparently settled cold ness and distance was observed by the lovers towards each ether for five or six months, and the father saw—as he believed—with satisfaction, that his previous suspicions and fears bad all been premature. Then by agreeMent also between them, Joe absented himself from the house at evening; and, night after eight for fell three mouths longer, did Joe disappear as soon as his work was finished to rears only at late bed time. This was unusual, and old -Danforth deter- mined to know the cause of it. Joe frankly confessed that be was in love With a Alan's daughter,' who resided less than three miles distant, but after a luithtul attachment between them tor several months, the old maa had utterly refused to entertain hie applioation for the young girl's hand. • This was capital.
