as twas kinder bitn' out"
He Immediately disappeared, and was evil
IDENTIFY "stan'in' his hoSs in the barn" When
he returned Mehitable was in the Kitchen
and he shook hands with great cordialIty
with both women, and said with gusto that
he had an idea that two women alone so
might be lonesome like, n he jest dropped
IL to be SOClaOIe.
He uuwound gray Comforter from his
neck, and as lie did SO one hight have ul-
| served that his OvcrcOIt VI, not as long, by
about a foot as the garment beneath it. This
| kind of disparity III length does not give an
agreeable appearance to a gent man, ard
when a lover appears with this relatively
wrong position of coat skirts, it |. very hard
| indeed to bear. Not that Miss l;.rrn was
| fastidiOuS in such matters. Still she could
| not control a feetng wish that Mr.. Smiths
| coats had agreed with each other better.
When, however, his outer garment was re-
moved, and she had hung it on nail iii the
| back entry, where she used to hang her
| fathers hat, she saw, as her visitor stood rub
bling his hands by the cook stove, that she

After while Mrs Green suggested that
! the front room was probably warm enough
| now, and MehitaOle conducted her sutton
| into that apartment, where they both sat
| down somewhat awkwardly But Mr.. Smith
| was too much cust0med to this kind Of
| thing" as he would have said, to be much at

| He talked a good deal about what an
| advantage it would be for them two
women TO have jest the kind of a man
