THE SQUIRE'S STORY.

Squire Glover listened In silence. but
with q quiet smile upon his lips to his
old cronles' yarns OF their various haps
and mlshaps In their younger days In
trying to get possession OF the girl OF
| their choice.
"Ay. neghbors, you've told some
pretty queer stories, but I'll warrant
| can tell one that'll match EN-
rather guess 'twould astonish those ac-
quainted with my understanding wife,
yonder, to know how 1t was that I
thought of takin' her for better or
worse"
Now. David" expostulated Mrs.
Glover, both reddening and smiling as
she met her husbands QuiZzical look.
why will you tell that silly story? II
you hadn't cared to take me. you could
have left me alone"
"Ah. sure, It's easy talkln'," said the
squire, shaking his head with demure
gravity. But when glrl-an' espec-
Tally SIGH pretty one-fles directly
into fellows arms what else can he
do? That's what I'd like to know"
Mrs. Glover gathered up her work
and ran away, and her husband, after
shaking his jolly sides with silent
laughter, gradually recovered himself
and proceeded to satisfy the curiosity
he had aroused thus:
Il was a poor boy, az perhaps we
know, with nuthin' but pair OF stout
arms an broad shoulders to push my
way in the world with
THE summer was u went to work
for Sues father. Mr. Bean was we'll
TODD farmer, and Sue his only child
He wasn't anyways stuck up about his
property, but he set n great store by
Sue. an as he knew that some day
she'd have as good farm as there was
In the country naturally expected that
the man who got her would be able to
give as much as he took.
so had no more idea OF ever ben'
Sues husband than had OF fiyin'. an
yet the fust time | set eyes on her |
knew, as well as | know now, that no
other woman would ever be to me what
she was.
They were real nice sort OF folks.
who treated their help like their own
family, an | soon began to feel at
home.
IAN but with Sue; couldn't seem to
say two or three words to her without
blunderln'. an was always doln' some
awkward thing or other when | went
nigh her.
Il don't think I'd have felt quite so
shy II I'd have known her opinion OF
me- for | wasn't a badlookin' chap in
my young days.
