She hadn't forgotten the prevailing
fashion in feminine attire, but she
thought, by exercising proper care, two

Abijah was the only chance, and she
liked to f1irt as much as Melissa.
Never mind" said the young man.
''I'll ask Meliss myself"
1t would give him an excuse to call
again at both places, at the Brays' to
get Melissas opinion and at the MUIR

Molly agreed and the next day (lon-

did not object to Molly as girl, but
she did demur about riding with But

need not sit together at the speaking,
and that it did not matter much in the
buggy, and Melissa agreed and walked
down with him to see Molly about the
luncheon.
Molly promised to furnish her share
and to keep down her Butternut tend

buttons upon it, small ones on the
shoulders and down the sleeves and
larger ones in quadruple rank down
the front. Her hat was little straw

incased in pink silk mitts, and she car

not the waist that caused Abijah to
curse nor was it the hat; it was the
skirt. 1t was full, very full, and was
kept distended by hoops whose pc
riphery was a dozen yards or more.
She had to come through the gate side
WISE Abijah turned his horse as far
to one side as possible to allow the
passage of the voluminous skirts, but
with all he could do they touched both
wheels when Molly climbed in.
She sat down carefully-she had to-
and Abijah sat beside her, and togeth-

Her costume was the same as Molly's
in degree as well as kind, and when
the two girls sat on the single seat of
the buggy the vehicle seemed filled
with skirts. Abijah saw no room for
himself and said so.

to sit between them, but he could do no

hoops standing out over the wheels on

with merely local reputation. In the

ScOrn and Contempt.
There is no word in the English Ian
Suage That carries so much of hatred,
scorn. loathing, and contempt, as the
word "scab.' Once branded and man
is marked for life. There is no escape
1t is infinitely worse than the brand
that was placed upon Cain. 1t goes
with a man everywhere. It shadows
his every fOotstep. 1t never downs,
and no wonder, for it is a synonym of
all that is mean, contemplate, and un-
manly. 1t designates the loss of dig
nifty, honor principle, and manhood. It
signifies that it is impossible for it's
owner to descend to lower depths. He
has tried to undermine men who are
battling for the bread and butter for
their wives and children. He has
sought to defeat his fellows and rivet
the chains of oppression around them.
Judas Iscariot or Benedict Arnold
would never have sunk so low. The
criminal from the penitentiary may to
some degree rehabitate his character,
but the "scab' is an. eternal fixture, a
living monument of self-inf'icted
shame, a reproach to honest men.
something that bears the outward SEM
blance of a man, but from whom the
dignity of manhood has departed for
ever AS men shun the leper for fear
of physical contamination, so they
shun the "scab'' for fear Of moral con-
tamination. When a man has descend
ed so low as to deserve this vile title, it
is as eternal as though craven on mar
BILE tablets or plates of brass. Tt never
deserts him. 1t even descends with
him to the grave, and accursed is his
me emory.
