During the conversation Of the cousins,
the two young gentlemen, named as ap-
preaching, were rapidly nearing each other.
The dwelling of Squire Hartwell was To-
Gated at the Junction Of three roads, where
those from east to west, which were mere
ly paths, united with the great northern
highway. The house stood few rods
back from the junction, having peach or.
chard in front profusion of rose BUSH
es around the solid wall, and "a high heavy
sate,. which shut out the dusty Wow Of thu
street.
The object of the rivals seemed to be,
who should arrive at the gate first. Doct.
Walker had the horiest and easiest path,
but the long and rapid strides of Roger
were every moment diminishing the ine-
quality and as for stones and hillocks in
the path he minded them no more than ht.
would have done thistle down.

reached it, bringing him to a perpendicular

that his nose was slightly grazed, and by "A

dusty path.
DR.. Walker was greatly discounted, and
not a little enraged at the audacity of his
rival but he well knew Roger was not the

fellow was out Of the question. So the DIR.
endeavored to calm and cool himself as
best he might, wiped the perspiraton from
his brow, and the dust from his large shin
ing buckles, adjusted his dress, shook his
hat and having recovered his composure
he proceeded regularly forward to pass
his respects to Squire Hartwell and the la.
dies.
