~ MlS Fortunately for the
MyV purpose Of this
&NWV story, Master Philip
NV Hayn, whom Mr..
Tramlay had asked to call, was too young
and too unaccustomed to the usages Of polite
society to regard the remark In any but its
actual sense.
Il would have seemed odd to any one know.
Ing tho two men and their respective sta
hons In life. Tramlay was New York
merchant, well known and Of fair standing
in the iron trade Hayn was son Of efarmer
ut whose house tho Tramlay family had
passed tho summer. When the Tramlays
determined to exchange the late summer dust
Of tho country for the early autumn dust Of
the city, it was Philip who drove the old
fashioned carryall that transported them
from the farm to the railway station. The
head Of the merchants family was attired
like well to do business man; Philips coat,
vest and trousers were remnants Of three diff
ferent suits, none of recent cut The contrast
was made sharper by the easy condescension
Of the older man and the rather awkward def.
erence Of Philip, and II moved Mrs. Tramlay
10 whisper, as her husband helped her aboard
the train:
Suppose he were to take you at your
word, Edgarf"
The merchant shrugged his shoulders
lightly, and replied, "Worse men have called
upon us, my dear. without being made to
feel unwelcome."
~ think 'twould be loads Of fun" remark
I'd Miss Lucia Tramlay.
Then the three, followed by smaller mem
bers Of the family, occupied as many seats
near windows, and nodded smiling adieus as
the train started.
A.
smiles; somehow, the departure of all these
train with his eyes until 1t was out Of sight;
then he stopped into the old carryall and
drove briskly homeward, declining to rein up
and converse with several sidewalk loungers
who manifested q willingness to converse
about the departed guests When he reached
the outer edge Of the little village he allowed
the horses to relapse into their normal gait,
which was a slow walk; he let the reins hang
loosely, he leaned forward until his elbows
rested upon his knees and his hat brim seemed
Inclined to scrape acquaintance with the dash
board, then he slowly repeated;
BE sure to look us up when you come to
the city You may be sure that will"
The advent of the Tramlays at Hayn Farm
had been productive Of new sensations to all
concerned. The younger members Of the
Of summer on farm they had spent ono
season at Mount Desert, and part Of another
at Saratoga, and, as Lucia had been "out" a
year, and had sister who expected early ad-
mission to metropolitan collection Of Rose
buds, against summer in the countryside
rude comomn, real Countrywide protests
had been earnest But the head Of the fam
lily had said he could not afford anything bet.
ter; trade was dull, a man had to live within
his income, etc, Besides, their mothers
health was not equal to a summer in society;
they would find that statement convenient
excuse when explaining the family plans to
their friends.
Arrived at Hayn Farm, the objections OF
the Juvenile Tramlays quickly disappeared
Everything was new and strange, nothing
was repellent, and much was interesting and
amusing; what more could they have hoped
for anywhere-even in Parisl The farm was
good and well managed, the rooms neat and
comfortable, though old fashioned, and the
people intelligent, though Miss Lucia pro
nounced them lawfully funny" The head
of the family was one Of the many farmers
who "took boarders" TO give his own family
an opportunity to see people somewhat unlike
their own crclo Of acquaintances-an oppor-
tunity which they seemed unlikely ever to
find in any other way, had he been able to
choose The senior Hayn would have put
into his spare rooms a Union Theological

For MA Tramlay, who really was an in
valid, there were long drives to be taken,
over roads some OF which were well shaded
and others commanding hne views, and 1t
was 50 restful to be able to drive without
special preparation in the way Of dress
without, too. the necessity of scrutinizing
each approaching vehicle for fear it might
contain some acquaintance who ought to be
recognized
As for the head of the family, who spent
only Saturdays and Sundays with his fam
lily, he seemed to find congenial society in the
head of the house--a fact which at first gave
his wife great uneasiness and annoyance
Edgar" Mrs Tramlay would say, "you
know Mr.. Hayn is only common farmer"
"He's respectable, and thoroughly under
stands his own business" the husband replied
1.-TWO reasons, either OF which is good enough
to make me like man, unless he happens to
be disagreeable Common farmerP Why,
I'm only q common iron merchant, my dear. ("
