ss1 reckon he'll be here by I o'clock, SO
let's all hands to work an heg dinner

She an Sans in the best room.
Florrie had great, appealing blue eyes
and pale gold hair. Her complexion
was like q rose leaf and her moath
shaped, like Cupid's bow.
OF medium height; slightly built and
graceful In every motion, surely Joel
had shown good taste when he fell so
desperately III love with her. -.

snowy linen and bright glass and silver,
and adorned It with a huge bunch OF
asters, q present roS Sam, for q center
piece and for a special greeting FOR joel.
Every thing was ready and 80 they
waited for joel, and they did not know
who else, but expectation Kept every
one silent excepting Sam, whose occa-
sional attempts at conversation met with
no encourag cement from Myrtle, to whom
they were directed.
At last Florrie cried, sHe Is coming;;"
then they all rushed to the window.
Mrs. Pettigrew saw, at first, only Joel.

hes grown, and who--Cyril, be I a
dreanin', ,or is that Jabez Reed walkin'
long side o. Joelq'
Is, that's the old coot. / I allus
thought Joel'd do somethin' with Ina. .
nreaity, Cyril had never allowed him
+ self to hope anything from Joel in this
matter. <.
By this time Myrtle had reached the
door, aaA admitted Joel, with Jabez
/ Reed, whom it proved to be. Joel gave
his sister a hug, and grasped hand
each Of father and mother, while a fond
smile told Florrie she was not unnotieed.

keen gray eyes, thick chestnut hair and
a straight nose. He had a square chin
and firm well formed lips His whole
face expressed strong VIII and deter
3mination; but had, usually, q look Of
serenity and good nature. Now, he
seemed ito be keeping under control
some powerful emotion. 15. -

Mr. Reed was redder In the face than
usual, ana had hang-dog expression
