CHAPTER TX.

HE MAKES JOE HIGGINS GIVE HIM A JOB.
His waking on the morrow was very
different from the first waking in Ash
ton. The birds were singing just as
loudly and noisily, but Alec did not
seem to hear them. The gray morning
light streamed through the cracks Of the
barn, and the COWS and horses could be
heard munching their hay or now and
then bringing their feet down heavily to
shake of some insect intruder
Alec lay half buried in the hay, look
ing up into the dark, dusty, cobweb
woven roof, trying to put the dull, lone
ly ache out of his head long enough to
think what he must do, could do. The
town was against him, now that he had
tried and failed. He knew that clearly
from the atmosphere into which he had
stepped at the store the previous even
ing. Mr.. Higgins seemed at first to be
his friend, but he, too, had grown cold
and grutf. 'Lisbeth seemed kind, but
she was only girl What could a girl
dof
He would have get out on his north
ward tramp Immediately, but there
seemed now no more before him than
there was behind. His skill at moving
he did not wish to put to the test again.
and besides this morning he felt so stiff
and his back and limbs ached so persist
emily that 1t seemed as II he could not
even climb down from his bed on the
hay. Ae was hungry. too. for berries for
dinner and crackers and Jam for supper
were small food for a healthy. active
young man. Never before in all hts life
had he faced a prospect SO utterly dreary
and barren.
He would go to Mr. Higgins and
frankly lay his case before him, asking
the man to help him 10 some sort Of
work, it mSttered not what, so that hc
kept from starving. Perhaps in case
Like that 'Lisbeth's friendliness might
count for something, and he should not
be sorry to have 1t. Already no thanked
her in his heart. Certainly she had
seemed to sympathize with him a little
and that thought was the one ray Of
light in his dependency, and he imme.
diately nursed and cherished 1t until 1t
seemed almost 10 make as bright day
within HIS heart as there was without,
into which be soon emerged.
He brushed Of the hay from his
clothes, washed at the pump, and
combed his hair with bis pocket comb,
using the horse trough for = mirror,
Then fearfully he creps around to the
front door Of the store, 1t stood vice
open and showed a long strip Of floor
that had just been swept clean. But no
sound came from within. No doubt tn
proprietor and his family were at break.

..iabeth was the only one in the store
who hadn't laughed at the jokes, and
she acted very much 81 II she hadn't
heard anything that had been said, she
worked away SO steadily. But her man
ner made Mr.. Higgins a trids uncom-
Portable, and he tried to rally her about
the young man. She remained glum,
however, which made him still more
uncomfortable, and he had = private
wish that they shouldn't see Alec again.
In the meantime the boy himself had
fallen into o state Ct intense despair.
When he started out in the morning, no
was full Of hope and confidence. He felt
sure that IL be didn't know just how to
do anything in particular he could soon
learn. He imagined farm work didn't
require great amount Of skill. That
be should be tired he knew. but he was
prepared for that. Nothing could be
harder, he fancied, than hoeing potatoes
and he had survived that. When Mr.
Finchley asked him II he could NOW he
at once applied his policy Of asserting
bis knowledge, hoping that by quick OBJ
servation he could make 1t good. But
moving didn't seem at all like hoeing
potatoes. He couldn't get the knack Of
1t at all. He knew he was failing, but
he kept at it in sheer desperation until
Mr.. Finchlsy had come and taken his
work out Of his hands. That gentleman
hadn't done 1t with anything like the
good humor and gentle sarcasm be had
described in his story. His face had had
a hard, severe expression and his eyes
had shone with brilliant anger. He had
said much what he had ascribed to him
self, but tho feeling Of Alec was what
Adams must have been when he was
driven from the garden Of Eden, though
possibly Adam felt more defiance and in
dependent resolution.

Peake has been enjoyed to greater

Prof. F. A. Peake.

Prof. Franklin A. Peake, of Chat
tanooga, has been in Maryville two
weeks and in ad diiion to teaching a
large and successful class in elocution;
he has given three delightful enter
tainments which have been highly
enjoyed by large audiences each night.
Prof. Peake is not only as good as
the best elocutionary teacher, that
has been in Maryville land this is
saying a great deal as each year some
we'll known teacher is brought here
by the College among this number
was Prof. Byron W, King for two
years. but he is good singer, good
cornetist, a good vielinist, an excell
ent ventriloquist and an all round
good man. He is gentleman, and as
pleasant aud afable In private as he is
entertaining IN pubic.
His last entertainment Wednesday
was the most largely attended. Co.
lumbar Hall was crowded to its
fullest seating capacity and for two
hours Prof. Peake, in varied pro-
gram, lead his audience from the
Ridiculous to the sublime and Though
all the intermediate points. In the
program was Delsarte drill by four
young ladies and a sword drill by
sixteen young ladies. These proved
the Professor good instructor as
only week was devoted to practice.
Both drills were very pretty and
many were the remarks OF admiration.
The sword drill ended with a rep
resentation of the charge of the six
hundred. AS the professor spoke the
lines the young ladies acted. 1t was
quite inspiring as the roll of cannon
was heard to the right and left, repre-
sented by the piano and base drums,
and the deep rich tones ofthe Profess.
or's voice rang out and filled the
room, so that it could be distinctly
heard above all the din and roar.
Prof. Peake is invited to contin
ue the work next year and he will
meet with a royal welcome by all.
