AL to make the necessary prepare
ton that his business will demand,
such as the purchase of horses, the
renting of store and the hundred
and one things incident to his
chosen business.
Trudging along on the main
travelled road leading out OF the
CITY. Thad, with a bundle pre-
sumably holding all of his personal
effects, is making strides country
wards and incidentally enjoying the
pure, bracing air, the broad acres
on right and left, the little knots
of trees marking the habitation Of
more or less prosperous farmers,
the trees just beginning to show a
tinge of green, incident to the
genial warmth of the sun, and an
occasional field of rye that is the
first of our cereals to place a
carpet of velvety green upon the
face of mother earth.
The thought came to him that
as the sun is directly responsible
for all this early verdure, he could
hardly blame the ancient sun
worshipers for their belief. With
his idolitrous thought still fresh in
his mind he almost involuntarily
turns from the road on one Of the
sectional crossroads, and follows
the same until on his left he sees
in the distance a comfortable look
ing, we'll kept, homelike appearing,
farmers house. There was such
an air of comfort about the place
that he decided at once that this
would be his initial point. AS he
neared the house he perceived an
oldish gentleman coming to meet
him from whom came the follow
ing solutation, "How de do! How
de do!r'
''Thank you sir, l am quite we'll,
and I hope this beautiful morning
finds you too, enjoying good
health"
"Just tolerable, nothing to brag
about, but [ have felt wuss. [

This conversation took place as
they were nearing the house, and

stop now if twant for being
winded."
This was said with a merry
twinkle in eyes that did not seem
to have much but good nature
behind them.
Il am much afraid papa, that
Mr. Halgrave will deem you both
loquatious in the extreme" was the
remark advanced by Huldah at
this time.
"Be not unduly alarmed Miss
Stozer, in my home [ have the
reputation of being eloquent as
listener only, and deem it un-
necessary to change life long
habit of silence"
While they are discussing their
meal, we will signal out one of
their number and endeavor to,
make her known to our readers,
for we feel that in her we may
have more than a passing interest
ere this narrative shall have been
finished. Huldah was nineteen,
Of medium height, sparkling blue
eyes, light brown hair, abundant
in quantity, of gentle dignifed
bearing, tastefully though plainly
dressed, and face pleasant to look
upon, full of kindly interest, and
an indescribable homelike appear
ance about her that at once put one
at their ease, and made you feel
welcome unalloyed. Thad could not
help making at least a mental COM
parison of the many he had left,
and the one he had met, and we
feel at liberty to state, that had
Huldah known how she was being
weighed, an even roster tint might
have heightened a complexion
rivaling that of Hebe.
We leave her and her mother to
"do" the ever recurring dishes,
and incidentally to discuss the
stranger while the stranger and
Mr.. Stozer proceed to the stables
to discuss stock and things.
We will just say, however, that
Thad had not suffered in the eyes
of the mother, for she could but
notice, that however plainly he
was dressed, he was extremely neat
for farm hand, and neatness to
her in that house of wax-like pre-
cision, meant worlds.
Huldah ventured that she
thought him we'll educated. So
having unconsciously gained the
household, half his battle was won.
On the way to the stables, Mr..
Stozer said: Gas I am getting
old, [ had lowed, that I'd have to
get a tiptop hand from this out to
kind of take charge of things in
general like, and jest leave me the
chores and the little odds and ends
of things to do, so it kind of pears
to me that as you amt right smart
in this line, thatit'll be hard like for
us to strike dicker." He showed
Thad his herd of broad backed
Herfords, and assured him there
was nothing finer than the "big
