II Jacobs. was little piqued that he had NOT bee
sufficiently struck with Fanny's charms, to pro
i pose for her hand and ON this same sultry after
noon, when Fanny's mournfal, morning kiss ha
clang to him all day long, he suddenly threy
down his scythe, and slappng his hand on his knee
said. let 'em marry, let 'em marry Joshua
/ yonre rich enough, # Nathan amt, and you ca
| set 'em up in such style, as would make Mi
Jacobs eyes water Acting upon the kindl
| impulse, he started for the house.
| Meanwhile, Fanny had been startled at seeing
tall shadow fall across the threshold, and lookin
/ up. she clasped her two little hands over he
breast, and calculated, oh, Nathan! The mex
moment he had her in his arms, and their lips ha
met as cousins win sometimes. Then Fanny dres
herself up and stepped back. How is II Nathal
you come to see me to-day, when you have KEEP
away 50 long, and besides, gave me up withou
even bidding me good by ~
may, Fanny said Nathan, his sunburnt cheek
reddening q little; you don't know how uncl'
Joshua talked to me. He told me never to set m,
foot in his house again. till you were put out of my
reach BY being married to some one else"
Oh, Nathan did father say thaty''
Il Indeed he did, and he forbade my bidding yor
8 good BY, and have had such q lonely, wretched
i feeling in my heart all this time. Then ] heard
q you were soon to be married to this New Yorl
chap as is staying around here, and / couldn't
keep awsy any longer.
what, Mr. Jacobs? why, Nathan, hate him
/ Iwould- like to have some fairy pick him up and
sit him down gently on the summit Of Mount Blanc
/ wouldn't marry Mr.. Jacobs if he and were the
very last Of creation. and only one strip Of green
turf left for us two to inhabt, would either jump
| off or push him of, that's sure, for can't bear
/ him.,
.t0h, Fanny, what relief to me to hear you
| say that. II pays me for sneaking into a mans
| house in this way. when I've been as good as
turned ont of it. I felt mean to do it, mighty
mean; but oh Fanny. If you only love me still.
and will always love me, would walk into the
dominion of the Fire King himself, though he
waved firebrand in my face to keep me out.n
Again their lips met in that cousinly way, and
just at that moment they heard Uncle Joshuas step
coming towards the door.
He must MI find You here, Nathan. Father, you
know, is so set in his wayne would never forgive
You. Here" she cried, lifting up the lid Of the
lounge, Jump in here-lie down, and will let
you out just as soon as cam
Nathan was in, the lid closed, and the cushion
replaced on the lounge before Nathan fairly knew
what he was about. When Uncle Joshua came in.
Fanny was on her knees brushing up some shreds
into the dust pan. Unobserved she managed to
put her lips close to Of the knotholes and whis
per, Can you breathe?n to which Nathan as
softly replied, Yes; but it is awful hot here"
Uncle Joshua sat down and called Fanny to his
knee.
