THAT CAROLINY GAL.
DAILY AND MARIETTA HAVE A GOOD
TINE.

Kind of man who, In winter wore n long oluc
wool frock" and a gray comforter twisted ABOUT
his neck.
But in August he could hardly endure that
kind of a costume so he went to the other extreme
and wore blue overalls much faded from ire
ouent washncs, performed by his wife. and held
upon his portly form by one strap Of the same
material going MP from the left front over ms
shoulder 70 the right back His volumnonS white
shirt was held down so loosely round the waist
by this arrangement in regard to his pantaioons
that if there were the least wind going his shlrt
was filed with il and presented the appearance
Of a balloon ready 70 start on an aerial voyage
His Wife who was always described as she
that was Jones as if those words completely
portrayed her, ruled her family. including her
husband. with rod Of iron. but she always ac-
knowledced that she had no influence with him
in regard TO his clothes She used TO declare
that she did not believe that the angel Gabriel, II
he should come down purpose 70 make Peter
Winslow wear something decent in summer. would
have the slightest influence with Mr. Winslow
This remark was often repeated, and was sup
posed n convey the idea in background, as "
we're, that Mrs WinslOw was as powerlesS IN
o;he- matters as she was in regard TO the gentle
mans hahilimcnts.
Her daughter Marietta. who was her father
intimate crony," used to get. Us she said. aw-
full sick Of hcarin' about the angel Gabriel
Mr. Winslow had Just driven out of the yard
i'll his hay rigging. lie going 10 the far
meadow He was standing with his feet, in
huge rubber boots, very wide apart and braced
so that he could keep his balance he turned
into the road. His faded ovcIallS were secured as
have said, and his shirt was rounded out in the
back with the breeze to a particularly large cir
conference; and Mr.. WiNslow large man
even without tins arrangement
There goes yer father" said Mrs. Winslow
spitefully 10 Marietta, who securing milk
pan. and purposely not putting any strength into
her hand as she did There he goes acn

Mariett. dipped her flannel rag into the soft
soap aud then into the beach sand, and. like
wise child. remained silent. Her father was often
taking her cat TO the barn or woodhouse and
cautioning her to hold her tongue
"Nothin' II take the wind outer yer mothers
sails so quick as for us 10 keep still" he would
say.
Therefore Marietta now kept still. She shut
her LITTLE mouth very tight and was saying 10
herself
IL she goes N brings up Gabriel now I'm
afraid I sh'll have TO speak
Mrs Winslow would have been shocked if she
had thought that she was the means Of causing
her daughter TO think disresectfully Of any OF
the heavenly host. but this cslstant reference
had well nigh removed any emotion of awe there
might ever have been in the chds heart in re-
gard TO angels.
The woman poured the last Of the cream into
the churn and slapped the dasher down viciously
in It,

still more soap "Oh wish could 90 down in
the medder with par. instid of staying here
II do bleve, n ! shouldn't be fraid 70 say il
anywheres" said Mrs. Winslow, in her most irri-
tating staccatO that if the angel Gabriel should
tell your father ter wear a jumper ruthcr than
his shirt in that way. he wouldn't do it, Your
father, Marietta. is jest suit
The girl dropped her ray into tie bowl OF
sand and turned her flushed. frccliled face to
ward the speaker.

old Gabriel better stay up in Heaven and minc
his business, ruther than comm down here

Marietta did not know what she should have
said. and at that pitch that She did not
care. Mrs. Wnslow seized her by the shouldcl
and shook ncr violently.

said. III I've got a child that'll speak dis
