ture were brighter. He remembered,
as sort of lost paradise, the days
they had spent together, and he work
ed and studied hard, and dreamed of
the time when he might honorably
strive to win the love of this maiden
whose friendship had been so sweet.
And just then, in the moment Of his
deepest hopelessness, as his eyes be-
held Bessie, he felt his heart for an
instant throb with pain and then
grow hard. He seized his whip and
gave his petted and faithful horse an
unnecessary and undeserved blow,
passing the house without looking up.
swell, Bess, you're looking as sweet
as a pat of Molly Clubs butter.''
'What a delightful compliment, pa.
1 made this dress to please you; you
always said that I looked best in
blue.''
eyes, daughter, you look we'll in
blue, but don't you ever let that color
get into your heart.''
Farmer Johnson, who had just turn
ed his favorite cow, ''Molly Chub," in
to field nearby, to feed upon the ten
der clover which had sprung up since
moving time, came up to the house,
and seeing his only daughter, stopped
as usual to speak a pleasant word
The cloud which had rested upon
Bessie's face-the cause, no doubt, of
her fathers concluding remark-van-
ished at once. She looked toward
where the sun was fast descending as
her father seated himself by her side.
Mr.. Johnson noted the direction of
his daughters glances, as he re-
marked, "Joe Wilkins rye-feld is
showing up splendid; shouldn't won
der if Joe should turn out to be one Of
the best farmers in the county-ch
Bess?"
A slight blush was Bessie's only an
swer, but this satisfied her father per-
fectly. The fact that her eyes dwelt
so interestedly upon the rich Wilkins
farm was also to him a favorable
sign; but had he known that his
daughters mind was not upon the
spacious farm buildings seen in the
distance, but that it travelled farther
to the little red cottage which the
Wilkins barn, with it's cupola, just hid
from view, he would not have been so
we'll pleased, can assure you.
Il saw Joe this morning." resumed
the farmer, after moment or two.
Bessie suspected what was coming
and resolved to let her father do the
talking.
II took a couple of scythes over to
try his new grin -stone-Joe's mas
ter hand to put an edge onto scythe
and he and had quite a talk upon
very serious subject. To be plain,
he wants you, and he is coming over
tonight, with my consent, to ask you
to be his wife,
Bessie said not word, and her ia
Their went on
"Joe's a fine fellow, and will soon
own the finest farm in the county. OF
course I shall never dictate what you
must do in such a matter, but you

Joe Wilkins's Ghost.

A long impending misfortune had
fallen, which had crushed the hopes or
this stout-hearted young man. For
years his life had been one struggle
with poverty, and up to this day he
had worsted his enemy; but now it
seemed that the tables had been turn
ed against him. He lived in beauti-
full New England section where the
country is made up of gently sloping
hills, many of which are crowned with
the venerable and tidily built church,
built perhaps century ago, that the
people might ''go up to the house of
the Lord" Today, these hills were
clothed with the rich foliage of wood
land and the glistening sheen of fields
of ripening grain. Here and there, be-
meath the sheltering boughs of ances-
trail elms, could be seen the comforta-
BILE homes of well-to-do farmers, max
ing a most pleasing picture. But Will
bert was blind to all the beauty OF
the scene. Sight is not altogether in
the eye; sadness turns the gold OF
sunshine into clouds of lead.
The home to which he was return
ing was not one of the prosperous
farms of which we have spoken; it
was a little one-story cottage, stand
ing beside rather unfrequented road,
upon plot of land containing at most
barely a half acre; here Wilbert lived
with his widowed mother. How did
they get living? Not from the land,
although much labor in digging out
stumps and rocks had made a small
garden possible. But had you passed
this cottage at almost any time of
day-or night, for. that matter you
might have heard a steady ''tick,
tack" which would have told you,
were you one of the craft, that shoes
were being "bottomed" in one of the
attics of this humble home.
Wi1bert followed the trade taught
by his father-that of taking out
Stock as it was called, from shoe
factory in the neighboring village. To-
day he had "shopped' his weekly
amount of work as usual, but had
been told by the bookkeeper at the
factory that no more work was to be
given out.
That this would come, sooner or
later, he had long expected, as the
owners had been erecting new build
ings with the intention of introducing
improved machinery to do away with
hand work. All the arrangements for
putting this new method into opera
tion had been completed, and this was
the reason why Wilbert was now re-
turning home with no other load than
that which lay heavy upon his heart.
But sad as his heart was, it had still
to endure the sharpest pang of all; for
glancing ahead, as he approached a
large farmhouse, he saw pretty Bessie
johnson sitting upon the front piazza.
Bessie was the acknowledged beauty
of the neighborhood and, reader, the
world can scarcely boast Of type Of
feminine beauty more perfect than
that found in the neighborhood beau
ty, of rural New England.
Wilbert had loved this blue-eyed

present. WHO believed mucn IN ghosts,
yet that Joe had seen something of
strange nature, no one doubted.
"Well, boys" said Mr.. Johnson, eli
you amt afraid, we'll all set out and
try to get a glimpse of the ghost
Tommy and Sammy were eager for
the venture.
'I'll get the old musket, and Tom,
you hunt up pitchfork. 1 reckon we
can fix all the ghosts we come across,
even if the woods are full of en-, said
Sammy.
81 reckon" said his father, eff you
amt pretty careful, that old musket
I'll fix you; it was loaded for wild
geese, more than four months ago,
and | amt sure which end of it will
be the more dangerous when it goes
off,
''Come, Joe," cried Sammy, as he
shouldered the old gun, ''lead off, and
show up your ghost"
But Joe seemed to think that he had
had enough adventure for one night,
and showed a decided reluctance to
going back. The boys began to laugh,
and Joe imagined that he heard Bes-
sic join them; this may have been the
reason why he at length concluded to
go.
1t was at this moment that Wilbert
Newton appeared.
Mr.. johnson first noticed him COM
ing through the orchard. After he had
been greeted, the boys told him Of
Joe's adventure, but Mr.. Johnson sus-
pected that he had little need of be-
ing told about it, and he told Bessie
as much That Wilbert had had any
thing to do with the affair, Bessie re-
fused to believe, although she could
hardly blame her father for thinking
as he did, as Wilbert's time of coming
had been unfortunate.
The crowd soon set out on their tour
of investigation; everybody went ex-
cept Mrs. Johnson, and she stayed be-
hind only because some one must, to
guard the premises. IT took only
short time to reach the place where
Joe's fright had occurred, and then
everybody walked cautiously and ex-
pectant. Joe led the company with
trembling limbs, fanked by Sammy
on one side carrying the old musket,
and on the other by Tom, who had
armed himself after the manner Of his
brothers suggestion.
The company were not destined to
hunt long for the object Of their
search, for all at once Joe stopped,
and with bullying eyes, and face as
white as the ghost itself, he began
pointing at something and at the
same time screaming, Look! There
it is now, behind that log!" and then
took to his heels.
Sammy covered the object at once
with his trusty-I mean rusty
weapon, and for a moment all stood
and stared atr-a stray hog Of Farmer
Johnsons!
You can imagine the merry peals OF
laughter that rang out through the
woods! Even Joe, who was at that
moment bringing all the latent energy

IOuSc, anu IuGO Her OWN llutuo TOOTH.
A number of pictures drawn upon
bits of writing paper; some roses,
long since withered and become I'M
lovely except to one pure-hearted
maiden; ring hammered out of an
Old copper cent, and few other
equally worthless things. Why are the
hot tears falling upon these, Bessie?
Why are you holding the little box
which contains them as ii it was
casket of priceless gems? Foolish girl!
dry your eyes and go to the window
and gaze out upon the broad green
acres which may soon be yours, and at
the beautiful house that may soon be
your future home. Nay, do not, Bes>
sic, for the magic power of love might
enable you to see beyond the gorgeous
cupola, and into a cottage attic where
heart-broken youth sits upon an old
oe-bench-useless now-weeping
tears as bitter as the ones you are let
ting fall upon that precious little box.
Oh, faithful woman; but faithful last
and least unto thyself!
Gee whizz! if that's Joe Wilkins
comm he's letting his old roam take a
mighty crazy gait!''
1t had been dark for some time, and
Sammy and Tom Johnson had just
finished doing their chores and were
coming toward the house, when they
heard rapidly approaching team. Tt
was Sammy who spoke, and Tom re-
sponded:-
II always knew that Joe was dead
gone on Bess but I didn't think that
he would be in such hurry to get
where she was as all that"
Mr.. johnson, who sat smoking upon
the piazza, also heard the coming
team, and hurried down to where the
boys stood just in time to catch Joe
Wilkins's horse by the bit as he saw
that the animal was beyond the driv-
er's control. Joe seemed to have lost
his wits, and nearly fell out of the wa
gon when the horse came to a stand
still
''What, in the name of creation, is
the matter?" demanded the farmer.
"N horse got-f- frightened
at-something!" gasped Joe, who
stood trembling in every limb.
81 should say that you were the
more frightened of the two," said the
farmer. 'What was it-something
that you saw?"
''Yes-I-think -it-was a-g-
ghost!" again gasped Joe, with much
effort and earnestness.
The whole household soon joined
the group, including Bessie and her
mother, all eager to find out what had
happened.
"'Twas back in the sprout-land,"
Joe continued. ''Iwas letting old Roam
take his own gait, when all at once he
caught sight of something and reared
up. I pulled at the reins, and at the
same time looked round to see what
had frigh tened him. | tell you, it was
my turn to be frightened then! Not
