where a lot Of ladies were collect

the floor, and every
woman present had a different
way Of visiting her lips to show
her teeth, when she spoke to
say it was not hers.

With the qlickness of fash
another figure appeared on the
scene, and two we'll directed blows
delivered in so quick succession
that they certainly seemed to their
recipient as one, sent Nora's as
sailant sprawling TO the earth.
She was conscious of no more
till she found herself supported
by strong arm with the dim oVt-
lines Of an anxious face bent over
her.

son ~ inquired voice, which she
instantly recognized as that OF the
new hand.
Eyes, I feel quite well, now. she
answered in a tone full of unspok-

dispense with the support of Mr.
Dyer's arm, of which, for at least
a minute past, she had ceased to
have any need.
1t was at this point that farmer
Bryson came busting up.
"Let me secure the william ~ he
cried, when Nora and George Dy-
er had told their brief story. But
the robber, whom Dyer's fist had
only temporarily stunned, had
taken advantage of Morals swoon,
and her deliverer's consequent &C.
eupation, to quietly steal away
fact which greatly exasperated
the farmer who was forced to vent
his displeasure in divers angry
mutterings and vigorous flourish
es Of his stick.
George Dyer grew rapidly in IA
vor with all the members of the
farmer S family and not least with
Nora. Indeed she and the new
hand got on famously together.
Nora, though farmers daughter,
had q mind better trained and bet
ter stored with knowledge than
many boarding-school graduate;
and George Dyer, though but
common farm laborer, seemed to
have been an extensive and
thoughtful reader-so that there
was large and wide field Of sub
jects for the two to converse about.
History, fiction, poety-thPy dis
cussed them by turns; and we may
be sure, in their numerous even

time to speak of other matters
Of more immediate personal con-

Gorge Dyer had been staying on
the farm place nearly three
months when Hiram GoOch,
whose farm adjoined her fathers
! came out plump and plain one
day, and asked Nora would she
be his wife, to which Nora as
pIumply and plainly answered
she wouldn't,
At the first knowledge of this
the farmer was q little vexed; not
that he thought Nora and Hiram
particularly suited to each other,
but then the two farms were, and
Nora was an only child. But far
mer Bryson was TOO kind a far

THE NEW HAND.
~ FUDGE CLARK.

Bryson, as he and his worthy
mate set ia family council on the
days events according to their
wont.
The topic was George Dyer, the
new hand that Mr.. Bryson had
hired that day with something
less than his usual circumspection;
for it was not his custom TO en-
ploy chance corners, of whom he
knew nothing. without reference.
But it was the throng of the sea-
son, and iaborers were scarce, and
the young man had an open, hon-
est countenance, a supple, we'll
knit frame and didn't look bit
lazy. Sc the farmer took him ca
trial.
81 don't think he's ever done
farm work afore,' continued Mr..
Bryson "his hands don't look
like it. But hos amazin' quick at
takin' up things. He don't need
more'n wink to take a hint"
"An9 he's downright good look
ing added dame Bryson, stop
ping to take up a stitch she had
dropped in her knitting.
THE first virtues in woman's
eyes, of course retorted the far
mer with a bantering chuckle
"But there is more to him than
good locks, I can tell you. He's
got head full of sense. You
know what knowledgeabie chap
Hiram Gooeh sets up to be :?
We'll, be came along at resting
time to-day, and he tackled the
new hand Oh the labor question.
Dyer fought shy at first, but when
Hiram crowded him, he just turn
ed on him with few keen points
which Hiram said he hadn't time
to answer then, and its my opin-
ion it'll be loog time afore he
Will"
II wonder what keeps Nora"
said the farmers wife, looking an
xiously at the clock.
81 guess she's stopping awhile
to chat with neighbor Dutton's
gals" remarked the farmer; "You
know how it is with youngsters.
But where's Dyer? I'm almost
sorry l spoke up so thoughtless
to Nora about bringin that mon
ey farmer Dutton promised to
send for the oats. | think Dyer's
all right, but body couldn't be
too particular with strangers I"
1--WE no fears on the new hands
account" Mrs. Bryson answered.:
"But that Unlocking tramp that
had his supper in the kitchen was
just goin' out of the gate when
you spoke to Nora, and be may
have heard you.
An anxious look come over the
farmers face, and DOMINIC his hat
and taking up stout stick, he
sailed out.
The evening shades had gath
cred and it was almost dark when
Nora Bryson left farmer Dutlon's
to return home. Her path lay
through lonely wood, and she
felt little nervous as she hurried
along starting now and then as
an occasional rustic broke the
Stiffness.
She hsd completed nearly half
the way, and was wishing the 9TH
er half safely finished, when a
sound Of hurried, and, as she i'm
agined, stealthy steps, approach
ing the path little in advance,
and as if from one side, arrested
her attention.
The next moment a Inau's form
blocked the way. Nora would
have fed but fright overc )me her,
and she stood trembling and
specifies.
"Give me the money you have
about you !" commanded voice,
hoarSe and brutal.
I'll have no money" Nora
managed TO falter. And she spoke
truly, for farmer Dutton had not
been ready 10 send The amount
