MRS. PEAsLEE's NEIeHsoR.
ASPinster Learns That Old Bachelors Are
Not to be O~Nerlnnkad.

HekH HhlRsy Clark IN 81. Lows Magazine.
An old bachelorl It's Just too bad"
cred Miss Jane Peaslee, excitedly. Il
never could abide old bachelors, aud here
one OF ems gone and moved in right next
Q Hes got 8 great, horrid dog, too.
III warrant he'll be the plague of our
lives"
"Mebbe not, Jane" mildly expostulated
her sister, Mrs. Webb. "Old bachelors amt
apt to be meddlesome, gener'ly.
Him! meant the dog" snapped Miss
Jane. "Oi course he'll be a running over
here, tormenting the cat and digging holes
IN the flower beds next summer fur q cool
place TO lie in, or achasing the hens an
stealing the eggs when they've made nests
in the weeds. But | won't put up with it
an | shill tell him so plump the very first
chance l git"
The dog, JaneY'
The dog OF course not. i meant the
crusty, Grabbed old bachelor himself"
"Oh, Jane! You don't think he would
steal the eggs and make holes in the flower
beds, DO your
"Fiddlesticksl Amt you got no sense at
all, Melancey? A body might as we'll talk
to q clothes prop IS you! l said the dog
would steal the eggs, an / shouldn't put ~
with 1t. an / should tell the old bachelor so
too. Now do you understand An 80
will I'll take the broomstck to him, too
See if don't" she concluded, emphstically,
Miss Jane and her sister owned the little
cottage in whichthey lived, which vas sbouI
all they did own, and managed to exc out q
living by doing plain sewing, dressmaking
or anything Of the kind they could get to
do.
There's the gate open and Sam Pickles
old belLcow 8 trampin' round in the truck
patch, of course" and ~snatchiug up q sun
bonnet she darted out to put a summary
stop to tbe old belLcows depredations among
her garden truck"
Meanwhile the old bachelor next dool
was taking a survey oithe situation.
Two ONE folks, and one of them AZ
I old maid, I'll bet q pocket-knife. The othel
looks like she might be q widow, from q u
dressing in black. Thunderl What did
ever move here for? Paid six months rent
tool Confound it all, q man amt safe any
where hardly these days. Of course, tbey'l
both be q setting their caps to ketch me, oQ'
l won't be caught I'll keep out of their
way as much as possible, and even if meet
one of 'em face to face, Ill look another
way. see theE keep a parcel Of old hens,
too. II any one of EN- come q scratching
about here III set the dog on en-, Eare.
amt goirg TO be pestered by old msids or
their hens, either. I've hired o man ser
want a purpose to keep out of their clutches
an ] amt s-going to be took in By tAe
smsrtest woman that ever lived.
He was by nc means the crusty, Grabbed
old bachelor Miss Jane had declared him
to be, but \ rather ~sne-looking man, with
pleasant, dark eyes, and only q few thread
of Silver shining in his abundant brown
hair.
Moreover, his canine follower was not a
great, horrid" dog, but . very curly and
froHcsome n Newfoundland puppy.
