with the bitter prejudices and deep
feelings Of his class. In their hearts
they would like the old relations to be
restored, so like were they in loneliness,
so near in situation.
After her fathers death he had braced
himself to the point of asking her TO
be his wife, but the coldness of his re-
ception and the preparations for de-
parture showed him conclusively how
little thought she had given to the mat
ter so important to him.
The busy days glided by, grew into
weeks, months and even years. The
village life moved on in its monotonous
round of petty pleasures and petty pur-
suits. The old died, the young married,
the children We're born, but through
all her opinions on matters social and
domestic were still called for and still
paid for. Each year brought an addi-
tional wrinkle to her forehead and an
additional debt of gratitude and respect
to her exacting neighbors
All a. once rumors became rife that
she was to be married. The man for
whose sake gossip pronounced her ready
and willing to make the necessary
sacrifice after years Of solitary existence
was Deacon Smith, a widower, whose
deceased wife, dead one long year, had
left him the care Of six small children
and household disorganized and dis
ordered. A decent season of mourning
having elapsed, his intentions of seek
ing succCsso We're soon apparent. No
one answered his requirements so well
rs Matildy, and from suggestions and
hints the report was soon widespread.
The match was a suitable one, and Dea-
con Smith was not averse to its con-
summation. He realized Matildy's At
ness for the position ana considered he
was Offering her no mean equivalent
for her future advice and companion
ship.
His visits to her, urged forward by
the interest of his neighbors, who seem
ed to consider that by promoting this
marriage they were paying off their own
long arrears of Indebtedness, and his
own predictions, were many in num-
her and suggestive in detail. Matildy
was not ignorant of the object of his at
tentions, but with her accustomed
shrewdness and ingenuity managed to
prevent his coming to the point until
she had satisfactorily settled in her own
mind whether it would be worth while
for the sake of having her future decided
to exchange life of freedom for that
OF stepmother to the six young Smiths.
The question was hard one to settle;
1t presented so many aspects, was bris-
Ting with SO many pros and cons. So
Deacon Smiths anticipatory visits were
many In number.
Rumors Of her probable consent were

caused him many an unpleasant quarter

Suddenly one night johnny Brown

the measles and whooping cough. Mrs
Brown hesitated but .loment She
had been Matildy's most bitter opponent
ia this new venture, but motherly love
carried the day, uad Matildy was sum-
moncd.
Thus the fret step was taken. and the
rest was easy. Soon after Johnny's con-
valescence came preserves ano picking

winter clcaks and hats. Her taste was
constantly required. She had been TO

Matildy bore her honors meekly. The
failure Of her life's ambition had been
great enough to lessen all subsequent
successes. She realized and appreciated
tho trust that was reposed in her and
never took an undue advantage OF her
position.

of abstraction rested. That night the
deacon, having determined to be be-
guiled no longer by her woman's wit
and worn ont by the contentious and
problems of exacting household, had
blurted forth his proposal
Matildy, hesitating TO the last, fear
ful of committing herself to an irrevo-
cable step, asked reprieve of the night
20 consider the question. No wonder she
stood there forgetful of time and situa-
ton as she watched his sturdy figure
melt into the gloom.
Daniel Macquirk came plodding along
the narrow country road, returning
home from neighborly smoke.
AS he reached the gate the long ten
drills Of yellow lamplight fell on and
softened his rugged face The lateness
and deathlike stiffness IF the hour, her
isolated position and the lonely home to-
ward which he was tending moved him
to sudden impulse.
"Evenin, Matildyp' he called out
She, too, was softened by her envi-
ronment "Evenin, Dan ell" she MUIR
INJURED.
A hesitating touch ON the gate latch
thrilled her with the knowledge that
for the first time since her fathers
death he was voluntarily approaching
her.
She trembled, waiting expectantly.
When he reached the STEP he paused,
hoping she would make the meeting
easier by friendly word Of greeting.
But her mood had changed. She had
tried so often 10 overcome his hardness
and been repelled that she had become
sk~tical and feared deep laid scheme
for her future discontinue.
Daniel Macquirk coughed; then see-
ing that, if the ice was to be broken, he
must take the initiatory step, no said
quickly and in a strangely humble tone,
"I've come, Matildy, to ask your opin-
ion consarnin something"
Matildy would not be beguiled by tho
soft tone lest it should tempt her to an
admission which might result In confu.

figure and pressed more tightly together
her thin lips
I'm usually paid in advance" she
said laconically.
Her visitor hesitated, not that he
grudged the coin. but its presence SEEM
ed to give too practical an import to the
conversation.
His hesitation annoyed her.

ically as she turned TO enter the house.
He caught her dress with one hand,
while with the other he extricated

conscious at last that he was in earnest
and fearful Of herself and him.
Il wanted ter ask yer, Matildy," he
went on, "ef yer think there's any
chance OF yer ever consentin to be my
lawful wifeg"
A long silence ensued, during which
the prospects Of Deacon Smith and his
large family, the hopes Of her offici1us
neighbors and her own loneliness were
buried to rise mo- more. Then she turned
and in embarrassed accents said, Here's
yer 30 cents. Daniel

the mark she often came or how much
more easily the question might have
been settled without her assistance. Her
two visits TO Boston. the experience and
knowledge of life she was supposed to
have acquired and the mystery sur.
rounding her reappearance in the village
were the foundations of her success.
In her sitting room hung "a motto out
lined and worked with care by her busy
fingers. The glazed white surface formed
a striking background to the neat black
text, irregular in form, but showing
extreme care in the precise details of
the work. "Semper Parratus s"-"It's
Latin, yer know" she explained to her
curious visitors, IAN it means, Always
here. Nobody talks that language
now. Yer only see it in copy books
an in the city stores. " 1.-THE city" was
always pronounced with a slight eleva-
tion of the head, at which her audience
was always duly impressed.
This slight addition TO her furniture
greatly increased the reputation she had
already secured for progress and the
BY and by her fame spread. Visitors
came from neighboring towns to see the
quaint woman whose originality Tapued
their curiosity and oftimes, half in
jest, half in earnest, would ask her
opinion in love matters or other equally
important topics. Little by little she
bought back the land she had been forced
20 dispose of, hired an INDECENT neigh
Dor to look after her farm with his own
and commenced 10 lay by for possible
rainy day.
In spite Of her success, however, she
was not happy. She was alone in the
world, without kith or kin, her present
unenlightened by the domestic joys so
dear TO the feminine heart, her future
uncertain. AT any moment a new proph-
ct might arise and dispossess her.
Her fear was born of humility.
Scarcely household in the village but
regarded her with affection and graft
tude, scarcely family but owed her
what money could not repay Sickness,
sorrow and disgrace were all brought TO
her and relieved by her womanly care.
Across the meadow which separated
the two farms was the home of Daniel
Macquirk. He had never visited her
since the eve of her new departure. He
had resented her independence and spir-
1t, had sneercd unfeelingly at her paste
board sign and been exasperated at her
success. He had even i'm the bitterness
Of his scorn printed sign, which on
second thoughts had been destroyed,
stating that Daniel Macquirk's opin.
ions could be obtained free. He never
omitted an opportunity of ridiculing her
and was angered that his ridicule only
acted rs an incentive to the faith of the
credulous.
or his animosity Matildy was not ig.
norant, but for time she treated it as
the necessary accompaniment Of suc-
cess. BY and by she attempted to soften
his unreasonable displeasure, all to no
purpose. Finally she recognized the IN.
tility Of her efforts, and irritated by
her failure assumed like demeanor.
Many bitter word was spoken back
and forth until NJ last they eyed each
other hostilely and passed by without
uttering a syllable Of greeting.
