CASTOR v. Drake, in Harpers Bazar
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-12-28

A clerk, who was Oscars chum, had
been i'll a long time, and, us they were
friends in their poverty, Oscar had
tended him devotedly, and this, in ad-
dition to his clerical duties, had nearly
prostrated him. By some fortunate
discovery the chum had turned out to
be nephew to Oscars rich EMPLOYER,
and he, to show his gratitude, sent him
off to recuperate, with promise of
promotion when he returned.
Oscar found the woods and fields
charming, and Faith Carson he pro-
nounced more than charming-angelic
was the word most frequently in his
thought But Mr. Carson guarded
Faith very jealously and suspiciously,
and when he wasn't guarding her, her
mother was, which was all perfectly
right and proper, only it didn't give the
lovers half a chance to be comfortable
All know what becomes of girls who
are cautioned against falling in love
with.particular somebodies; they gem
orally go straight off and do it. And
Faith was no exception to the rule
Although Oscar did not find opportuni-
ty to ''tell his love-" yet it did not seem
to prey upon his cheek" for it grew
plumper, fresher and browner every
day Never chance could he get to
see Faith alone.
The day approached when he must
leave. He had written a note to Faith,
pouring out his love in it, and asked
her if he might come to claim her as
his wife the next New Years day-for
her to send him just one word after he
was gone if he might"
After it was written the foolish boy
didn't know what to do with it. He
could not even get chance to put it in
her hand, and as for sending it to the
village post Office, that plan would nev-
er do, as Mr.. Carson would be sure to
get the letter first
At last strange bit of fortune fa-
vored him. He was passing through
the kitchen and Mrs. Carson, who was
particularly good-natured that day, was
showing him some of the old-fashioned
belongings of the old house.
Among other things she opened the
door of the old-fashioned brick oven,
long since relegated to the past in
favor of a range" Its capacious
mouth looked large enough to swallow
almost anything, and as she turned
away to make remark about some-
thing else Oscar quickly slipped his let
ter inside and shut the door hurriedly,
with bang which must have made the
ashes fly inside.
In his excitement he forgot that the
oven had not been opened for several
years, and probably would not be
opened for years again. AS he passed
out he glanced mysteriously from Faith
to the oven door, look which she
failed to interpret, as she did not hap-
pen to see him place the letter there.
The day of parting came. The gutumn

passed and no word came from Oscar to
cheer Faith.
"He has forgotten me-" she sighed
softly, but she remembered at part
ing he had whispered: New
Years." Would he come then? The
day came and ended and he did not
come. Then he did not mean that" !"
and she reproyed herself for thinking
so.
All this time Mr.. Carson's mind was
partly on his potato crop failure and
partly on Oscar.
''Its kinder strange we hain't heerd
from him or of him sence he went
away" said Mr.. Carson, taking it for
granted that Faith would know him"
meant Oscar, and forgetting that he
had emphatically declared 'there
should be no letter writing or any sich
nonsense"
"Arter all, he appeared to enjoy old
fashioned things. l member how
curious he looked into the old brick
oven"
Faith remem bered it, too. Soon after
ward Mr. Carson left the room. With
a curiosity born of sentimentality she
felt as if she wanted to look into the
old oven. She walked leisurely to-
ward it and opened the rusty, creal1ing
door. There was the fateful missive
She took up the letter mechanically,
wondering what it could be- 1t was
addressed to herself and sealed. In her
excitement she closed the door with a
bang which startled Mr.. Carson, who
was reentering the room.
Faiths face was white and she was
breathing hard and fast. She felt as

he asked.
81 don't know, father. 1 just looked
in the oven, as Oscar did, and l found
this letter there. 1t is directed to me"
Mr.. Carson approached her and looked
at it through hastily adjusted specta-
cles.

Faith read it, but TO herself; then
handed it to her father with flushed
cheeks. Mr.. Carson read 1t slowly,

You see, now, father. if he could

two years. 1t is too late now," and
here her voice grew pitifully weak and
trembling; "but l shall write him at
his old address, just once, though I
may never hear from him again. Per-
haps this is what he meant by whisper

Faith took her letter and went slow

Guagno, noted for its famous mineral
springs and also for the turbulence of

edict to the effect that none of the in.

The inhabitants Of Guagno chose to
ignore this order and sixty of them, all
armed and all angry that their candi-
date had been defeated, marched upon
Soccia, headed by their mayor. Two
gendarmes mot armed) had been placed
at the entrance of the village and
warned the advancing troops that they
were to come no further. The mayor

from an old stock of farmers, fact of
which they used to boast.
Farmers are the most independent
critters livin'," Mr.. Carson would fre-
quently say
~ don't see as they are any more in
dependent than other folks" Faith
would reply. Seems to me we have to
work for all we want, and then we
don't always get it"
"Of course we can't materially ex-
pect to git things without we work for
'em."
"Farmer Carson emphasized the
word work" Work, according to his
mind, meant labor among fields and
vegetation.
Work among few bibs an fuckers
don't amount to much" he continued,
with a sidewise glance at Faith, who
was buisly washing the supper dishes;
II mean real work that keeps man at
it arly an late"
Faith flushed. The bib and tucker"
shaft had struck home. She knew he
was thinking of Oscar Blake, a dry

spirit than Difference.

times, and potatoes give out once in
awhile!' -
This time her arrow found its mark,
for hadn't Mr.. Carson's potato crop
failed this year?
All the while Faith knew that it
really was not SO much "city store
work" to which her father objected as
1t was to the clerk, who two years ago
had passed a summer vacation among
the hills surrounding Cramp Hollow,
and who had formed an acquaintance
with Faith, much to Mr.. Carson's OBJ
lection He was afraid Faiths head
would be turned by new-fangled no
tions and she would want to leave the
old farm.
Oscar Blake was not a dude He was
simply good, straightforward fellow
who by merest chance, had the oppor-
tunity given him to go to the country
He did not even choose the place. He
was sent there by an old city resident
who, in his early boyhood, had lived
