He had been few college. He had growed

same handsome face, an merry, winnin'
ways.
NORMAN was alters great mothers
boy, an, rs Jenny was sewin' fur Mis-
Tracy all the time jest then, him an her
was naturally throwed good deal tew-
gether.
II had married an settled down in a
home OF my own. But John an me was
ambitious tew git ahead. We hadn't
paid fur our place, an so used tew dew
odd jobs at the house fur Mis- Tracy,
ironln' an clear-starchin' her muslins.
She was pertlc'ler bout SIGH, an alters
said suited her tew a T. So 1 was in
an out the house considerable.
"Mls' Tracy used the room openin' out
of her'n, an which used few be the nur-
sery, for SEWN room. Tew my mind
twas the pleasantest one IN the house !;
the winders was low, lookin' out upon
tie garden, that was full OF flowers an
shrubbely.

was open intew the hall, an l used few

"Jenny alters sot by the winder, sew
in, and | remember as it twas only YES

a-comin' an goin' in her cheeks. an
her downcast eyes shinin' through the
long lashes. An remember how he
looked al her, an how gentle his voice
was when he spoke tew her. An mind
ed that they used few often be in the
garden an down by the river tewgether.
''l've often wondered sence what his
mother could be thinkin' on. But she
seemed tew think that Norman was the
boy that he was when they used to play
tewgether, an then Jenny was so still an
quiet, that she didn't have no suspicious
as to what was comm.
81 was sorter Uneasy myself sometimes
when L see how Norman continued alters
to be where Jenny was-an' she seemed
no ways averse to it-tur ] knowed that
the squire would never consent tew his
marryin' Tom Locke's darter an Mis-
Tracy, fond as she was of Jenny, would
never think her fit wife for him.
II don't know how it come out, but
the squire seed or herd suthin' which
reused his suspicious. want there an
want sorry, nuther. Them that was
there, said he ript and raved fit to tear
the roof off. The upshot ont was, that
Norman went off few Turin pats, an
Jenny was sent home mighty sudding.
Sammy was only few weeks old
then, an kept me tew home pooty close,
so didn't see nothin' of Jenny 'cept to
meetin', an then her pale sad face went
right tew my heart. But 1 thought it
was grieyin' after Norman, an that artcr
spell she'd git over it.
"Arter while some ugly stories got
afoat. was mad enough when they was
fust told me, an l didn't believe one
word ont. But l made up my mind I'd
see Jenny an have talk with her. But

heerd tap on the door.
81 opened it, and there stood Jenny,
with nothin' round her but thin shawl,
an her face as white as the snow at her
feet
"'Fur the lands sake"' says I, as 1
pulled her in tew the fire, what brung
you out such night as this?'
''Twice she tried to speak, but her
voice ended in sob, I rubin her hands
all the time, which were jist like ice.
Then she said:
"'Polly, l hain't nowhere to go, an
no friend but you.-father's turned me

faint.
81 hollered tew yer uncle. an betwixt
us both we got her ontew the bed in my
bedroom. Then 1 built rousin' fire,
while he went fur the doctor.
"Jenny was dretful sick all night, an
all the next day. When the wust was
over, she didn't seem to rally. 1t almost
seemed as if she was goin' to die from
pure WEAKNESS and disgust of life. AFTER
tryin' everything else 1 could think on, I
put her baby in her arms-as fine boy
as ever laid eyes on. She kissed it an
from that moment began tew get better.
