was hot likely 70 be Of SO easy nh ar

chatmiig combination Of curls aud

In shcrt, Ans0n had found some one
to love, some one that be wanted to
marry, as he grayely informed his faith
or. You should have seen the old man' s
eyes; it was O mercy they were fast IN
their sockets. Here was gratitude =
This Anson having deirauded his old
father OF SO much Of his time, was now
going to set the seal upon his absurdi-
ty and disobeGence by marrying a
town grill Bad enough to marry any
one, seeing bis father wasn't through
with him yet-but a town girl lie
never should consent, and every Schel
enbargor acre should 60 to strangers
before Anson should have one, if he
persisted IN an idea so ridiculous
And pray what harm is there in be
| ing town girl? questioned BarbiC
Hastead, when Anson told her, hall
laughing, half yexed, and altogether
rueful; for without assistance from hi'
father, he could not marry Barbie for
a long time yet
Auson laughed again, but with som,
embarrassment saying, My father j
afraid that a daughter OF Professor
Halstead would not make a very gooC
farmers wife

roddcning and looking up 1T her love
with comical little pout Didn't

We need one bad enough, but M
