 'tJock," said Mrs. Jock, wistfully, "did-did he mention We're when he knew you this afternoon?"
 "Well-I did,"
 'Ycs; oh, don't keep us in suspense" the little woman cried. Don't you see that she is half mad with anxiety. and l, too? What did he say2"
 "Well, of course they told me how very serious it was," he answered. "Blaclzwood, in fact, was in the very act of writing telegram to me. I went in and spoke to him, and I sup pose the voice or something reused him, for he knew me at once. Don't go away he said feebly. I'm about done for said: Nothing of the kind, old chap. You've had bad knock over, but we'll have you about again !n no time. I'm going to send down for Ruth to come up to help nurse you.' Yes, do, he said; 'and-''And Vere?' asked, thinking he might mean that. T don't think she will he said, shutting his eyes again. patted his hand and said: Ou keep YOuTSeI1 QuleL, Olu CnapS ana don't worry about We're. You made a bit of mistake, or she did. Anyway, I happen to know that she'll como like a bird and that seemed to satisfy him. So, wired off for you both at once. Why, my dear girl" he broke of, you're not vexcd about it, surely" for We're had hidden her face and was weep ing bitterly.
 "No-no, not at all. You go away . bit She'll be all right. She's little overwrought, interposed Mrs. Jock, hastily. ''She'n be all right ln Eve minutesH If she's not worried. I'll take \ her upstairs nrmnnmAaa."

But if every woman in Ka Bob should stay single till they're gray waitin' for Barn Hutch to pop the question, he never'd get further than 'Wa'al now, I'll tell yer Talk about wimmin bein' fickle!" continued the widow, as her eye dwelt tenderly on the widower. "If men ain't the most hesitatin' and undecided critturs on airth, then l can't bake salt-risin' bread!-an' if I do say it, I'm willin' to put my salt risin' bread against any in Ka Bob"
 Tue widows point was well taken and sank, like good seed, into the cadaverous countenance of the be- reaved preacher-and it is only simple justice to the widow to say no small quantity of her salt-risine bread, flap jacks, corn-dodgers and other culinary conceits disappeared into the same ca pncious slough of desrOnd

day in and day out, over Ka Bob cor ners, and when the mail was brought twice a week, by stage, from the near est railroad station, ten miles distant. The blast of the stage-driver's horn, the creak of the tin peddler's wagon and the rattle of tools in the mendicant tinkcr's tin chest were then the harshest sounds which disturbed the day dreams of the early Ka Bobians. Now all is changed. Inside the deep red depot a versatile female hirts with the tele- graph key and "the agent and passing "drummers." The tin peddler's bony beasts have long since bitten the dust, the cheerful creak of his chariot is fer ever hushed and its weather-beaten skeleton is even too dilapidated to fur nish the children a hiding place in their play. The remains of the peddler him. self repose in the ''old' graveyard by the church, not a rabbits jump" from the grass-grown mound where rest the venerable bones of the tinker. Yes; all is greatly changed, but hardly for the better. There was something pleasing about the very deliberation and hesi- tancy which characterized the old-time Ka Bob and it's people.
 But even deliberation can be carried to painful extreme; and never was this more successfully done than in the daily walk and conversation of Barna- bas Hutchins-Barn' Hutch, for short "a long, lean, prosperous Yankee miller, who was typical composite of the combined hesitancy of the entire community.
 The fact that he had never married was accounted for by the village oracle as follows:

 Astonishment, pain and irrepressible amusement were pictured in quick suc- cession in Clodine's face. Then as the whole explanation dawned upon her, she broke into a ringing laugh. AL though the face of Barnabas was white with wrath, he thought she had never looked so bewitching as at that moment of uncomfortable merriment. At last she spoke. She couldn't help her first words from being:
 ''Well, now, I'll tell you!''
 He fairly withered under her mis- chievous arcasm. She did tell him all and they laughed together over the valentine. But what is more, he told her of his love-and blurted it out in good blunt English, too, without sim gle ''ye-see, "ye-know" or ''I'lltell-ye." |" 'I'd a missed ye, Clodine," he said many times, afterwards, as he playfully kissed her, eff it hadn't ben for that leap-year's valentine"
