lady. "Drive on, 1 say Don't lose
any more time or Squire Pulteney will
have gone home for the night"
She herself took possession of the
reins and she spoke and chirruped to
| the horses.
"But, mother" pleaded Ezra.
Even as she spoke, however, poor
Phoebe, driven wild by vague terror
and an instructive desire to escape, had
flung herself from the wagon to the
ground.
''Stop-for heavens sake, mother,
stopw shouted Ezra. "Don't you see
that her dress is caught in the wheels?"
The little horse stopped. He always
stopped, on general principles, when
ever suitable opportunity presented
itself, and the very slightest "Whoa ~
would invariably bring him to dead
standstill.
Ezra sprang from the wagon to dis
entangle the helpless figure in the dust,
and Mrs. Pilkington scrambled after
with vague idea that Phoebe might
yet get up and try to run away.
As she jumped down her satchel fell
prone into the road, and, bursting
open the over-strained latch, disgorged
its contents on the dewy grass of the
roadside, first and foremost among
which was-a spotted pongee hand
kerchief.
Good Land o. Moses ~ piously in
terjected Mrs. Pllkington, ''if there
amt the drafted old pongee handker-
chief, arter all ~
And she stared helplessly, first at its
prim and undisturbed folds, and then
at Phebe's handkerchief-exac the
same in color, pattern and fabric.
"She amt thief, arter all, )" said
Mrs. Pilkington, her whole nature
OVERLOADED by the rising tide of re-
morse. "Poor child and I'm afeard
she's hurt tryin' to run away from
nothing at ALL"
Phebe's ankle was slightly sprained,
that was all, and by this time she was
able to smile and answer kindly Mrs.
Pilkington's numerous questions and
condolences.
''Can | ride home? Oh, of course |
can ~ said she, in reply to Ezra's in
terrogations. my ankle is only the
least bit lame"
Old Father Pilkington was anxious
ly looking out for them, when, consid-
erabiy later than he had expected, the
wagon drove up and Mrs. Pilkington
made haste to explain everything to
him.
"And amt it queer" said she,
''that me and Phoebe should both hev
bought pongee handkerchiefs just alike
on Grand street? If ever there was
bargains, they be Half "a yard squar,
real China goods, with hem"
"Fiddlesticks ~ said old Mr.. Pix

it's bargains ~
Little Phoebe Primrose stayed on at
the farm. She liked the daisies and
red clover, the sound of the running
brooks, the smell of the cows breath.
And-Ezra Pilkington liked her.

'Is this the water office?" she asked
as she entered, with fire in her eye and
fight in her voice.

clerk at the desk. as there anything

That was very honest and good of you,
I'm sure, but the city will not accept
any money for a single fish. 1t is true
the city charges for water only, and
does not guarantee to furnish fish as
well, and I'm bound to say that most
ladies would have taken the fish and
said nothing about it. However, the
city will not take advantage of your
unequaled generosity. 1t will make
no charge for it."
With a magnanimous wave of his
hand the clerk tried to dismiss the
subject, but the caller resumed:
"But this fish was''-

would not think of charging you for it.
If you are so very conscientious about

'To be frank with you, madam, | do

it, especially among your neighbors.
If the people generally got to know
that the city was favoring you by send

the city does not provide them with

the city cannot undertake to do that.

The clerk resumed his seat, and the
complainer departed, muttering some
thing which no one could hear
