1t was the second time he had accompan-

to bring fond hearts IA step nearer to each

When they reached the gate she asked
him if he wouldn't come in. He said he
would, and he followed her into the house.

was so late he had no fear of seeing the old
folks. Sarah took his hat, told him to sit
down. and left the room to lay off her things.
She was hardly gone before her mother came
in, and dropping down beside the young
man she said:
81 always did say that if poor but re-
spectacle young man fell in love with Sarah
he would have my consent. Some mothers
would sacrifice their daughters happiness
for riches, but am not of that class"
The young man gave a start of alarm.
He didn't know whether he liked Sarah or
not, and he hadn't dreamed of such thing
as marriage.
"She has acknowledged to me that she
loves YOU" continued the mother, "and what
ever is for her happiness is for mine"
The young man gave two starts this time,
and he felt his cheeks grow pale.
"I-I haven't, he stammered, when she
said
ooh, never mind. know you haven't
much money, but of course you'll live with
me. Wen take in boarders, and I'll risk
but that we'll get along all right"
1t was a bad situation. Hadn't even look
ed love at Sarah, and he felt that he ought
| to undeceive the mother.
Il hadn't no idea of-of''-he stammered,
when she held up her hands and said:
81 know you hadn't, but it's all right
With your wages and what the boarders
bring in we shall get along as snug as bugs

heart and loving nature, and if you should
be cross and ugly it would break her down
within less than a week.
The young mans eyes stood out like CO.
coanuts in a show window, and he rose up
and tried to say something. He said
Great heavens! madam, | can't per-
nit
"Never mind about the thanks, "she inter
rupted. II don't believe in long courtships
myself and let me suggest an early day for
the marriage The / lth Of September is my
birthday and it would be nice for you to be
married on that day
But -but-but w-he gasped.
"There, there, don't expect any speech
in reply" she laughed "You and Sarah
fix it up tonight, and I'll advertise for
twelve boarders right away. I'll try and be

EDITOR EAGLE,-Sir: noticed an
article in your paper from farmer n.
s.eaking about different kinds OF
weeds, and wound up by giving the
grasshopper bcggars an awful hard
rub. He seems to think that there IS
but little need of there begging. l
think myseIf>that there are quite
number that's being fed by our friends
in our sister states. If they knew that
their donations would have been APP
pied as they were; they wouldn't
have been SO liberal. But there are
quite number that need help, out
if they could get help themselves
think they would if they could get
work, like they used 10 in Illinois,
don't think they would cry help. But
that is out of the question, man can't
get his grub for his work. If you OF
Farmer K, wants to get some body to
work for their grub, just let us know
it out this way, guess he'll get plenty
hands. FARMER ". .
