present they selected his head, and
fought sharply for resting place there.
His wife nailed horseshoe over the
door, and he drove his oxen and horses
with witch-hazel rod, but still the
troubles came. Finally old Kezzie
Brock threw salt in his well, and from
that day forward his troubles ceased.
Within on hour after old Kezzie had
settled the witches in the well, Peter
Harvey came riding down the lane,
singing his favorite song Comm
Through the Rye" sign he was in an
excellent good humor. After stopping
to have a chat and taking q drink of
"Glenlivet'' with a drop of water from
the well, he proposed to Robert Wal
lace to sell the few animals and other
things he could not take with him, and
emigrate to Illinois; and drawing out
his wcll-lilled pocketbook, he counted
him four hundred dollars for the jour
ney.
Great was the Joy of the Walaces at
this unexpected act of friendship.
But, said Peter Harvey, when he
had written out a note Tor the money,
made payable when convenient, "you
must give me security and I'll just take
a mortgage on this colt" And he
clapped his hand on the head of one OF
the half dozen lads who called Robert

Like all emigrants to a new country,
he had his troubles, but in the end
prospered. He owned broad acres, and
cattle and horses in abundance; and,
after eight years on the prairie, he said
to his wife:
when the crops are secured, we
will 90 back to old Ryegate, and take u
look once more at the green hillocks of
Vermont.
''And mind you cancel hatmortgage
and make me free man." said John
Wallace, now ayoung lawyer in Peoria
'I'm thinking the lad intends to
marry, and wants to show a clean
record" said his mother, laughing.
But Robert Wallace and his wife
never saw their Scotch friends in old
Reygate, nor the green hills of YER
mont. Before the crops were gathered
man and wife were cut down by the
harvester Death, and their neighbors
laid them side by side under the trees
their own hands had planted.
John Wallace, the son, with whom
this story has to do, with that restless
ness common in Western life, had gone
still further west, and finally located in
Denver; and there he prospered slowly,
as young lawyers in new places gen

Annie Harvey was ailing.
"a breath of sea air might do her

the seashore she went.

dock of ancient bingham.
Mrs. Helen Sake and her invalid
charge, Annie Harvey, were glad to
accept the offered aid of gentleman
fellow-passenger who placed them in
a carriage, which conveyed them over
the beach TO Nantasket.
The sea air wrought wonders in An

passed she was flirting outrageously
with young Perkins, of Boston, whose

Miss Harvey had also condescended
to smile graciously upon her fellow

gentleman invited her to ride, she was
engaged for the same pleasure with
young Perkins and his mother. Let

Perkins was continually in the way;
and yet Perkins was, to use the plain
but expressive language of John Wal

But John Wallace was in love for the
first time in his life, and he was not
a man to let trifles or simpletons stand
long in his way if he could help it. So
he persevered in his wooing. and at
last thought he might venture to pro-
pose to that most tickle lady, Annie
Harvey.
Moreover, his business demanded his
speedy return, for he was yet too poor
to afford any long vacation. He found
Miss Harvey on the veranda, busy with
crochet or some other feminine en-
ployment. He invited her to ride; but
Mrs. Perkins reminded her of a prior
engagement. Mr.. Wallace expressed
his regret, for it was his last day at the

A MORTGAGE" CANCELLED
The Bells of Hull Celebrated the
Joyous Event.

Old Peter Harvey was a strange man.
After living fifty years bachelor he
astonished the little world in which he
lived by marrying little old maid as
strange as himself, and all the little
world laughed
But he was good husband and kind
father to his only child Annie. After
twelve years of married life he and his
wife Elizabeth were called away almost
in an hour, leaving little Annie to sob
out the first great grief of her life.
After the funeral, when Peter Har-
vey and his wife had been laid side by
side in the old graveyard, and the stern
Covenanter minister had said his few
solemn words of regret for the dead
and comfort for the living, little Annie
Harvey went to live with her uncle,
Andrew Mallory, till she should be,
come of age.
At twelve years old Annie Harvey
was like rosebud. One fears to see
the bud expand into the magnificent
fOwer, lest the delicate tints or the ex.
quisite proportions may be lost
Such were the feelings of good Mrs.
Mallory when she said to her husband
81 wish the lassie would just stay the
pretty BARN she is now"
Tut, tut, mither; | mind when ye
were a wee BARN yourself; and who
says ye're not comedy body noo?'

her work, remembering the days of her
girlhood in far-away Scotland, when
handsome Andy Mallory, in his Sunday
best, came to court herself, Marian
Harvey.
That Annie Harvey should have other
views than her aunt concerning her.
self is not strange. She was impatient
for the time to come when she could
assume the long dresses and the accom-
panying airs of ripper years, and already
she had faint dreams of the delights of
beaux, parties, dancing and that crown
ing delight, flirting.
From twelve to seventeen! How
slowly the years move! 1t seems an age
In youth, and but moment in age.
Little Annie Harvey had become Miss
Harvey. She was exceedingly pretty
and she knew it. She also knew that
she was heiress to the lands and money
of her prudent, though odd father, and
she had been told that the money had
been doubled and quadrupled in the
careful hands of Uncle Mallory.
But another thing she had not been
told, that would have been pleasanter
in her ears than all this She certainly
had lovers; but they were such milk
and water fellows that she could not.

Among the friends of Peter Harvey
was Robert Wallace, an honest, hard
working man, but singularly unfortu-
nate. If cow became choked eating
turnips, it was his cow; if boy went
to sleep in meeting, and was marched
out in disgrace, or warned from the
pulpit, it was sure to be his boy. When
