not come back however quite fast rs he went, for
Aunt Casey had fairly loa,ied him down. She heard

that there should be no stint even the white table

white bread, a roll Of butter and two dnei-lppie pies.
The String was close az hand aud cups We're plenty

bad calculator TO tue ability OF four stout young
men.
STORM AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
Charles and Augustus were now left alone in me
field, the last load being well on ia way 10 shelter
d" think, Guss. that we shaA have a hari Storm,
and il il coming fast; you hal better 20 AM secure
the doors and windows Of he barn, AMI | viii carry
the tools and then we will both hasten home for mt
Casey is timd, YOU know, and there Will be no more
grading 10 he done to-day
Augustus made speed toward the barn and Charlas
took 81 oFtor cut acIoss The field toward tie house
But the storm was much nearer than he hat anti Il
paed for the sudden daTening Of the air caused d n
10 look up and he the huge mass of ynpor that
had been slowly gathering now rolllh- along Di0keh
into ueged heaps, and flying as though Inpelei Dy
the force of a huIrc0Ie he Immediately hung has era
dies within the thick branches of an apple-ree stacked
his rakes agenst Its trunk and then made his utmost
sleed for the cottage. As he reached the gate, as
ilouch impelled by instinct, he Immediately threw
down pair of barr adjoining IT, for se saw coming up
the road and fall gallop the Two ladies' who ha1
stopped al the spring an lie morning.
q" They must stop here be SAID TO himself - Tor
where else can they 20 for shelier!
And he was right IN his calculation for the leader OF
tie two at rclned up to nim. Sac did not appear
TO recognize him. but speaking a. II almost Out oi
breath:
Good sir, can YOU show us 10 a shelter"
Please ride through the bars aud follow this path,
and Just through the grove you will find the house.
| viii be there. Have you not gentleman VAN
you r.
' His horse looscned shoe and he was obliged TO
dsmount; but he il coming Aud as Charles looked
he saw him just ascending small hill Leaving him
10 follow not he pleased, Charles ran with speed
to tie house. Augustus was already there, and had
assisted Of the ladies 10 dismouni and Cherries in
nedia;ely offered his services 10 the other.
Pleafe excuse me, said she with that sweet smile
again, " did not recognize you a. irst was in such
furry for the clouds looked 70 threatening, and
knew OF no place for some distance that could get
to- You must have thou Int had soon forgotten yoIr
politoness.
Charles did not reply, for the gentleman just then
rode up in great haste. He was very pale, but
whether from fear di- pleasure il would have been
difficult to decide. He looked up az the clouds and
then at the circumstances around him, a much as TO
say Il looks awiuy black but what at. KIND OF place
Gus enough TO enjoy his dilemma. Ohc OF the ladies',
however came 10 hls AID.
Are YOU not going 10 dismount there il a terrible
storm coming; how ieafully it roars I"
Without rel lying, he jumped from his horse and
stood beside him.
"Wbo is there here to take my horse VIVA; kiad
Of rockery lave you got into Is It tavern or
what is II T.
"Oh julia dear, do speak 10 him, said her com
paIon in a whsl or, " 10 ask him net to speak So.
She who was called Julia locked indeed much dis
hessed. Sic seemed 10 be equally sensible OF the
rudeness but yet afraid TO administer reproo blush-
ing very deeply she veniurcd TO say:
Z" Had YOU not better tie your horse AMI come mi
should advise you sir said Ch@n ,, who I had
Augustus to the ladies' horses TO remove your
saddle under cover and then tie your horse, and you
have 10 time TO spore
80 Take off the saddle | dont know anything about
taking Gil saddles.
"Ob can show you' and the lovely girl wa.
about TO put her knowledge into practice but Charles
Immediately inierpo~cd and the saddle was OIL IN an
instant "you had better tie your horse quickly, sir
But al that moment a vivid iasl OF lightning. Toll
lowed instantly by deaening peal OF thunder caused
the horscman Ia drop his bride aud spring into the
house; Augustus happily was near aud caught the
rem as the afi-hied animal was about to tear away
Immediately the tempest sweeping on IN IT, fury
there was daTkening OF the AR, loud and suilen
roar twisting about of the limbs of the large ireos,
a whirling of dust and small branches through the
air fash after fash and peal after peal, and then the
pouring rain dashng against the little tenement, A.
iLoul il would be beaten 10 the earth or removed
from liz foundations
Aunt Casey was never very courageous IN thunder
storms; her plan had been generally to TO her bel
and cover up Charles had laughed her almost out OF
this habit 30 that she lad b.aved most of the sum
mcr showers without having recourse TO her old ex-
Tedient

gentleman, before stated, into the house, but also
started Amt (a-sy tOgyarl her room. n
