like, cry hout, Oh! Miss Rosa, Tn so
sorry z an, will you believe it, sir 2 the
poor Hitalian laid 'er cad on the hother's
shoulder, an cried like child In al
minute the stage-master called out,
sharp, for Miss Podge,' >. an she dried
'er tears an went hout an danced so
beautifully, the pit nearly went mad with
'er. Oh, yes, sir, there's 'uman natur'
behind as well as before the scenes, an
the great Scene-shifter above He
watches it.
ssWel sir, Miss Lucy, afterward
Missis Bytheway, wer' a clever dancer,
an likewise, sometimes took small part,
for she we're as pretty girl as ever
seen hon the stage, an I've seen hall the
swells you know. They're very partkler
hat the Varieties, you know +; hits only
the royal family, an two or three very
speshul parties as gets the he'atree there.
I dunno 'ow that young Bytheway got in;
but p'raps, is father 'ad done the govner
good turn sometime. 'Owsomever e
were hon the stage pretty hoften, an
took violent fancy to Miss Lucy. All,
sir, my art used to bleed sometimes for
those poor girls-to see low bold and
brazen some on 'em were, an 'oW gentle
others was, an 'ow many of 'em came to-
grief +? No matter. Lucy, she took to
young Bytheway, an e tried hon hold
game with 'er, but she were too good on
too KNOWN to be deceived. I believe
she really liked the man. e were a
terrible temper. No one 'ad ever cont
trolled it. Ed grown up just like that
stalk of mullen you see there, as straight
and as long as he liked, an breakin' out
at every stage.
CHOW you want to know 'ow they
come hout to this place? Z can't tell
you. All I know is, that halter spoon
in about the girl for precious long
time, and she playin' hoff an hon with
i'm, one day she didn't come to rel
heazsal, an then hit were rumored
among the young ladies she 'ad run away
with Mr.. Bytheway. The hold gent AM
the young un 'ad 'ad row, ham the
young un said that rather than kill the
old fool, he'd leave him. Well, year
after, I come across immigration
hagent. e told me about Canada AM
the free grants, an, lookin' round on all
those hungry children, I said, Well try
tits worth the venture I'd saved a
| little money, an when / got to Toronto
applied for land at the government
Office, an they gave me this concession
free. We got ERE about 1st of June,
ham lived in the woods for some weeks !;
I tell you the mosquitoes were awful
But you'll fancy 'ow started when the
| first thing I see on the next lot, where
that 'ouse 'ad lately been built, was
young Bytheway in a torn shirt an
just has if ED been at it all is life.
Then hout come Miss Lucy-then Mrs.
Bytheway, for they'd got married before
they left England-lookin' pale like, has
I've seen Mrs. Wellbeloved look
oftener than I cared for. We was very
good friends, an the young gentleman,
who was smart, as they say ere, e put
me hup to a good many things, an
showed me 'ow to build my 'ouse, an
all the naybours was kind an 'elpful
enough, has all the people are hout ere
to strangers. Well, young Bytheway
was kind enough to Lucy, an, for all [
saw, she were fond enough of 'ina;: but
once or twice I noticed he went off to
Orillia an stayed away some days, it
might be three or four, an when he came
back again he wasn't 'imself for long
time. I knew what it was it was the
hold enemy-dfiaak-an' for the time hit
made i'm another man.
"By and by the autumn came, an we
got in our root crops an little corn an
wheat, an Bytheway laid in a decent
lot. Then came the frost, and the fallin'
of the leaves, an the snow. Such snow |!
I've seen snow ten or fifteen feet deep
down in that gulley, an all as crisp an
shiny as the finest sugar, an the air as
pure an the sky as bright as I ever see
painted in Hitalian scene at the theay
ter. < Healthy?
should think so. There amt no doc
tor nearer than Gravenhurst, an never
'eard of i'm comm up here except to
Joseph Jobson's grandmother; they say
she's nigh upon eighty, an took the rhu-
matiz SO bad that they thought she were
dyin', an sent for m to 'elp 'er on. Well,
it was the second year, and then in the
snow-time came Christmas, an the new
rn-keeper down at Bracebridge, he
gave out turkey-shootin', an Mr.. By
theway on the day before Christmas left
Is wife IN our charge-she were very
near her confinement went to try
is luck. She come over here Christ
mas heve, an though she never said
nothin', she weren't in no spirits we all
noticed. My wife of course see the
most of 'er an tried 'er best to coax 'er
to be more ively-ike. She would go
'ome that night, and the next mornin'
my wife went hup to 'er for hour or so.
She left 'er dressed an comfortable,
waitin' for Bytheway's return. She ex-
pected i'm to reach 'ome about three or
four in the afternoon. I went in after
midday an then she were a layin' the
cloth for Christmas dinner. The room
was very clean, an she'd stuck some
green about an ornamented the table
an made all look very nice; far better
than we poor people can do out here, for
