of experience with the boys of the
country side, easily eluded him, and
in return butted him to the earth

road was trampled into something

Old Dan remained motionless,

disappeared around a distant turn

from his coarse wool, he gave utter

Farmer Henderson came in from
the barn one morning with his
hands and clothes wet and covered
with mud, his face red and his eyes
flashing.
"Nedl" he shouted, rs he entered
the kitchen. "Where's Ned?'
"Here I ami" came CHEEKY voice
in reply, and in an instant after n

years entered the old-fashioned
country kitchen from the adjoining

most of it!''
Ned and Carrie were only chill
dren. Leaving Carrie in the house
alone, after they had considered
awhile whether there was any way
of averting old Dams sad fate. Ned
shouldered his hoe and marched of
to his work, planting potatoes with
Cronson, the hired man, i'll the
"back lot"
Bat the little girl of thirteen had
no thought of being afraid. She
had the breakfast dishes to wash,
some sweeping to do, and the din
ner to get, all before twelve o'clock.
Time fled. The dishes stood in
shining rows on hepantry shelves,
the broom had performed its work,
and Carrie was preparing the vege-
tables to be boiled, when there
came faint knock at the door.
Supposing it to be one of the neigh
bors, the little girl did not rise, but
called:
"Come in!'
The door was slowly opened and
a man stepped within.
He wore black coat buttoned
to his chin, and very threadbare.
His trousers, too, We're black and
shiny, and much too short for him.
On one foot was boot, while the
other was graced by a ragged shoe.
He carried battered silk hat in his
hand. He face was long and SOL
emn, but quite red. eyes bleared,
his hands very dirty, and altogether
he was n queer looking visitor.
els your ma ut home, miss?" said
he, in a half whine, as he glanced
sharply about the room.
''No, sin. replied Carrie, wonder
ing why he asked; "she has gone to
Underhill. Did you wish to see
her?'
"Oh, no." the man replied. "1
only asked out of politeness. you
know" and he smiled solemnly at
the little girl, ard winked one eye.
no, l came on business with your
pa-particular, urgent business.
S'pose he's round, is he not"
no, sir, he went to town with
mother said Oracle.
Now that's too bad!" exclaimed
the visitor, as he seated himself;
'tand I've come 80 far to see him.
But perhaps your brother or sister
would do as we'll" Il havn't any
sister" said the little hostess, laugh
ing, "and my brothers over in the
back lot. He'll be in by-and-by
though, if he'll do"
"Well, L don't hardly believe he
will, after oil" said tie man, shak-
ing his head thoughtfully, "and 1
can't wait to-day, anyway. 1 hain't
the time. But I'm terribly hungry.
If I could I'd stay to dinner, miss.
However, under the circumstances,
perhaps you had better give me a
light lunch before l go; a piece of
pie and u cup of tea and II little
meat, or something of that sort"
"Oh, certainly; only l can't give
you the meat, for we haven't it in
the house" said Carrie, rising; ''but
L will find something" And she
brought from fhe pantry a whole
apple pie, which she placed before
him, with knife aud fork.
"If you will help yourself I'll
have the tea ready in three min
utes."
"All right, my DEAR said the
man, seizing the knife and drawing
the pie toward him. II will act
upon your advice The last time I
took dinner with Gen. Grant," he
continued, as he cut great piece
and began to eat, che said to me,

what he said" and he chuckled mer-
rily, and nodded his head at the de-
licious-looking pastry before him.
Carrie wondered little at the table
manners of the man who had dined
with Grant, but she stepped his tea,
favored it with rich cream and su-
gar, and passed it to him.
~ am not much of hand for
tea" said the man as he drained
the cup, ''but my Doctor says that
must drink it for my digestion,
and he winked solemnly. by the
way, he contiund, picking up the
silver teaspoon from his saucer,
''have you any more of these? They
are as neat pattern as l ever saw,
and odd, too. / should like to see
the rest of the dozen if you have
them"
Mother has only eleven" said
Carrie, in her innocence, "and she
is very proud of them; but I will
show them to you"
Then she brought the little box
with the precious table silver-eley-
en- teaspoons, four tablespoons
and an ancient cream jug-all pure
silver, shining brightly placed
them before her iDauisitive visitor
to admire.
He had finished his eight lunch."
That is the pie was demolished and
the teapot empty. As the little
girl handed him the treasures he
arose, took the box to the window,
examined it's contents with a criti-
cal eye for moment, and then, as
if in joyful surprise, said:
Il am right! These are the very
spoons! The very same identical
spoons that my friend lost when he
was boy! How lucky it is that /
have found them at lastl"
With these words, and a very low
bow, the rascal opened the door and
slipped away with the spoons and
silver cream pitcher, down the path
toward the gate.
For an instant Carrie stood mo-
tionless; then, rushing after MIN,
she shrieked:
"Give me those spoons! They
are my mothers spoons, and you
are trying to steal them! You are
a thief, a thief! Bring them back!
Bring them back!''
The man, however, paid no at
tention to the child's cries, but ran
rapidly down the path, carrying the
box in his arms; and the spoons and
pitcher would have been lost for
ever. if a new party had not ap-
peared on the scene.
Old Dan was quietly nibbling the
grass near the gateway. Hearing
his little mistress voice, he looked
up the very instant that the tramp
passed. What he saw about the
man, that disturbed him, / don't
know; but, erecting his head with a
coarse ''Ba-a-;l' he shot after him
like q cannon ball.
The man turned to receive him
and defend himself, but the ram
struck him fairly in front, knocking
him down, balf-senseless, fiat on his
back, scattering the silver in all di-
rections.
For an instant the fellow remain
ed sprawling i'll the dust; then he
slowly arose, limping and groaning,
and without a glance at his enemy,
began TO gather up his stolen spoils.
He had partly completed his task
when old Dan, who all this time
had been watching the proceedings
from beneath his shaggy eyebrows,
shook his long beard, and with
another tremendous "Ba-a-a!" dash
ed at him again, and over he went
