SAMMY, THE TOMBOY.
The Fate of a Girl Who Romped tn
Fields and Stole Fruit.
By Phoebe Frances Hollis.

by FuOcDe rTduCGS HOLLIS.
Sammy! Sammy" called a loud,
untulneful voice, come here"
"Yep!" come back the answer came,
and Sammy soon appeared, not a boy,
as o might suppose, but a freckle-
faced girl CT IA. of the regular tomboy
style.
Her hat was hanging down her back,
held on by n elastic around her
throat, her clean calico dress was
rumpled and covered with grass and
dirt stains, and altogether she was

freckled face and boyish feature ? ID

descript mixture between the two.
But her eyes-they were the mer-
riest sauciest eyes ever seen; no one
could dislike the child after once look
ing into those eyes. Perhaps h a was
why her aunt forgave SO many of her
m~ischevious and troublesome pranks.
"Yep!" mirnicked the aunt, that's a
nice way to answer me. Now I should
like to know what o and Rufus mean
by chasing that young colt all over the
field. Didn't I tell you to let him
alone?"
"Yep-that is yes'm; but Aunt Jane,
Uncle Hiram SAID L might chase MIN IL
I wanted to, and he guessed the colt
could stand as much as I could-bUt he
can't" she added triumphantly, "be-
cause he is getting tired already, n
I amt a bit"
Uncle Hiram, indeed" retorted her
aunt. Your uncle is jus as bad as
you are, and just as much of q trouble.
You're to mind What I say, and not
what your uncle Hiram tells you. Yes
terday, when I found you chasing the
old black hen with a stick, it was I'm
Gle Hiram; and the day before, when
I found the cat tied to a tree by the
tail, it was Uncle Hiram again. Now
you just conn in the house, and take
off your clothes and go to bed. I'll see
If l can't make you mind"

such a lovely day, n I'll be good, IN
deed I will. And you know" she con-

black Susan deserved a whipping; just
think, she stepped on two of her little
weeny downy chicks, n killed them.
And Thomas had eaten one of the lit
tile brides in the nest UP i'm the Old
cherry tree. SO he deserved what he
got, too. DO say that you think so,
too, Aunt Jane, cause I know you do"
ffWe1l we'll, child; come in with me.
and help me mend some socks, and III
let you off this time. But wait until
I catch that Rufus; TN give him a
~thrashing."
The next day a note was dispatched
to the village minister.

Thus matters went on until the be-
ginning Of the new year, when it was
agreed that both Lily and Sammy
should be sent away to a boarding
school, SO the first Saturday after new
years she was speeding away to a dis
tant city, where they were to finish
their education.
Just as the train was moving off the
window was thrown up quickly and a
box of bonbons and some roses were
thrown into the lap Of the astonished
Sammy, n the merry face Of the
young squire beamed on her; with a
wave of his hand he called to her to
accept them as a peace offering, and
to forget her future husband.
Three years afterward there was a
happy gathering at the parsonage to
welcome home the two girls who had
finished their schooling days.
Lilly wasn't so very much changed
from the sweet-faced Lily of old, but
Sammy-could that tall, graceful, and
dignified young lady be Sammy, the
Tomboy?" She wasn't pretty, but what
a delightful face with those saucy yet
sympathetic eyes, and what a sweet,
lovable smile.
She was more than pretty; she was
b~eautiful-so thought a gentleman
standing in the doorway. For the
young squire was there, too, to COM
plete the circle.
1T was not long before he, too, was
paying his respects to her, and as she
raised her lovely eyes to his face, he
knew that it would go hard with him
if he could not persuade her to accept
the title he had given her in est.
Squire 'Ha,ford was no laggard in
wooing, and before long Sammy had
promised to fulfill her fate and brighten
his life.
but you are sure you can consent
to marry such a tow-headed, snub-
nosed person as MYSELF"
swell, If you al put up with such
a homely, pert little vixen as I, I
might" And so Sammy's fate was
sealed.

Nov, will you kindly tell me what

he In a very human voice, full OF laugh

her arm so that she could not run
away T..
"Wethat is-I-I-we wanted to see
our future husbands" she answered.

Took, win I suit you"
Sammy was afraid Of nothing mortal,
and as she saw h had to Zeal with

que.
"well, no." she answered, calmly sur
veying him, II don't think you'd do at
all"
why not?"
well, you are too thin; then, be-
sides, you've got tow-colored hair and
a horrid nose. Now, il you were ark
I might like you.' she said seriously.
That was too much for the young
squire, and the hills around echoed
with his hearty laughter.
Funny, amt you?" she remarked
sarcastically. You ought to go and
DIN a show; you'd make a fortune with
that grin. I wonde IL your wit Is as
funny as your face"
What a saucy, home1y little vixen
it Is. What Is your name?"
Sammy"
Sammy, well named" And he
laughed again. 'FWell, Sammy, don't
you know that 1t takes a smart man
to be funny?"
ooh, no." h replied, "the funniest
thing i'm the world is a fool"
Good; that's one on me. We'll, I'm
glad my future wife will have a smart
tongue, as I am sure h will never be
a beauty. By the way, what are you
doing with all those apples?"
Take you old apples" And she
freed her arm and flung them at his
feet. you are the rudest man eve
lived, and I'd rather die than eat your
apples" and she turned and fled from
him.
Remember, you are to be my WIFE"
he called after her l~aughingly.
Several times he tried to obtain an
interview with Sammy by calling at
the parsonage at all hours Of the day,
but though he saw Lily several times,
he never could get more than a glimpse
of Sammy. He had heard all about
her from Rev. Mr.. Daniels and wa
more interested in her than he could
account for to himself.

6urf Dunlap Talks About Inc CondE-
 lions in Gila Valley.

Hon. Burt Dunlap has returned to Tucson from his cattle range in Ara yaipa canon. He reports stormy weather in the Graham rnoantains and lat Stafford, says the Tucson Star. To offset the disagreeable weather the farmers Of the GiIa valley are jubilant oyer the rise in the price Of hay this
 month. This was to be exepcted in view of the increased demand at Globe due to lower rates Of transportation and the consequent storing up of grain and hay for the winter. With refer ence to the recent mining excitement northeast of Wilcox, Mir. Dunlap could say but little. Complications had arisen which had checked the interest somewhat. John Brockman, manager of the famous Commonwealth, had an eye to the main chance and was ready to work certain claims he had taken a bond on, but as the matter of owner ship was in doubt, he withheld from taking action until the ownership could be absolutely settled.
 It is certain that paying ere is below, else MT. BrCcknan would not enter tain the idea Of putting money into he new district, being a shrswd mining operator.

After toiling up the mountain to Pioneer, he found the roof of the station partly caved in, the station keeper gone, no food fer man CT beast, and no blanket to warm the currents Of his corporeaI body.
