In thu evening, had been iraversed in
20 minutes. When he cam" in sight OF
The shanty and saw Donald pacing i'm.
patiently about within he fairly cursed
the pretty widow and his own good
fortune. Donald paused to stir up the
fire, and Barney hurried in while his
back was toward the door; but when
Donald turned face full OF expectancy
upon him he sank onto a stool, cover
ing his face with his hands.
by all the saints, Barney, don't tell
me she refused" groaned poor Donald,
his arms hanging helplessly by his side,
his lower jaw dropping, his whole ut
titude one Of fear and suspense. It
WINS then TINT Barney, lifting his head,
fully realized how much his news would
mean to his benefnctor. Like flash
came the remembrance of oil this man
had done for him. of the miserable ex-
istence he had snatched him from, of
the many times he had gone hungry
that he might be fed, of the almost
mother love he had given him; and
q sudden resolve formed in his soul.
Indeed, at that moment this untutorcd
Irish lad (madly in love with the widow
Gs he had long been) arose to the
heights of n hero.

ing and the younger man, dressing
noiselessly, slipped out Of the house,
running every step Of the way to the
McFadden claim. He WINS sorely afraid
his courage would forsake him or words
fail him. Possibly the widow did not
look quite as youthful and enchanting

badly rumpled ind her toilet carelessly
made. Rodger was "doing chores" and
Dan was still asleep. Everything ia.

Barney had to make. The widow lis

as much put out Us the poor fellow had
supposed she would; in fact, he had no
need for the long list Of arguments he
had arranged to help win the "lost

answered, confidently.
"And after oil match between Dom

added; "the loikes of yez should wait

Barney was home and had the fire
kindled before Donald fairly awokc
from pleasant dreams that were but q

and early twilight saw him ON his way;
