Skopley's productions are very uneven.

he has done, in the language which they
understand, they say: Look at that!
It's rotten! Skopley's got one of his lazy
fits on. The truth is Skopley never had
a lazy fit in his life Since he married
the plump, lively girl existence to him
has been grind of work. Mrs. Skopley's
view of matrimony is that it is a hus-
bands duty to give his wife everything
in life that she wants, and not only that
but everything she wants for her chill
dren. She has way of insisting on this
view that is death and destruction to any
ideal Skopley ever cherished.

is only $1,000. In his early married life.

That afternoon all the house was In
the most spotiess order The kitchen
floor had been secured and then sanded
in beautiful pattern. The brasses
shone like gold and the beds were made
in smooth mounds, covered with gray
quilts. All the work was over until
Monday. In this house Saturday was the
day Of holy preparation, and. no work
was done after high noon whereas there
were homes in the neighborhood that
were content to settle down after sunset
into the Sabbath peace and calm. On
the spotless pantry shelves stood loaves
of rye and Indian bread, q bowl of mush
and a dish of baked beans, for. no fire
could be made for cooking purposes until
Monday. -
1t was many years ago, of course; be-
fore the revolution. before meeting hous-
es were churches; in the days of tithing-
men and candles, and pewter. plates and
warming pans; when the country was
still young and the inhabitants were set
in their ways.
Enos Judkins slipped from the log cab
in end of the rambling farm house and
walked listlessly to the barn, and from
there down through the orchard, and
thence on to the brook that gurgled away
into the forest. There was no work to
be done, and he liked work, and he had
on his Sunday clothes, and above all
things he disliked to be. dressed up
There were those who said that Enos
Judkins was not '.aH there" that part
of him-the best part-had been left at
the meeting house, where his parents had
been killed by the Indians, and where

Around his head, Just under the edge of
hair, a livid line still showed where the
knife had circled.
But all there or not, Deacon White
found him the best boy-or mamie
had ever hired, though Enos was vet
to finish his seventeenth year. The
boy never grumbled at work and he
never spoke unless spoken to; and
those were attributes which the thrifty
deacon could thoroughly appreciate. No
matter what the task, the boy was al
ways ready for it. day Or night, rain or
slime; and his manner or doing it was
as sturdy as it was unostentatious.
So now he moved listlessly along the
brook. kicking discontentedly at peb-
BILE or broken stick from time to time.
Gradually he increased the distance be-
tween him and the house. until at length
he had approached very near to the for
est. Then suddenly he paused and gazed
straight ahead, his eyes losing their va
cancy and becoming round and fierce
But whatever he saw the effect of it
seemed to pass away. almost instantly,
for he turned and began to retrace his
way, along the brook. walking slowly
and stopping even more frequently than
before. AS he neared the orchard he even
sat down upon, fallen tree and idly
swung his legs. At length he arose and
sauntered into the orchard.
Scarcely had the intervening foliage
shut in between him and the forest, how
ever, when his whole manner changed.

Years ago, say twenty, he started out to
