THE PARSONS PLACE.
ny ANNIE HAMILTON DoNNELL.

The girls eyes followed the train
wistfully, until only film of smoke
was left hanging in the still air. Then
she turned and faced the desolate
little station.
Il believe I'm marooned" she
groaned. There isn't soul in
yes, there's boy. Have l got TO ask
him for help:"
The boy was brown-very brown.
His trousers were crammed careless
ly into big top-boOts, and the boots
were muddy. The boy was big and
awkward and bashful. He sided
away down the deserted platform. as
if to escape as soon as possible. He
did not look up once.
"Oh, wait! Please wait a mo-
ment!' the girl cried, hastily.
"There's nobody else to ask Won't
you please tell me if this Is Cutler:
I'm afraid | got off at the wrong
place"
The boys abrupt stop and the
girls impetuous chase had brought
them close together-toO close for
the dainty summer skirts. The girl
involuntarily twitched them away
from contact with the big muddy
boots. She did not see the blood rush
10 the boys tanned face, staining it
a rich mahogany hue.
Have | made a mistake: Oh, !
hope | have-no, guess | don't mean
that, but it's 500 dreadful herep
This is Cutler" the boy NUT
tered, stiflly. But it's not the vii
lage. That's over there four miles
He pointed with his thumb.
-Four miles. Then there must
be a stage. | don't see any. Oh, it
hasn't gone, has it:"
There isn't any stage that meets
this train. There's one in the morn
ing"
Not any stage"
The girls voice showed distress.
"A trail of muddy roadway stretched
away before her eyes, and her eyes
followed it despairingly.
Terry Quinn's heart melted. How
far are you calculating to go? l
don't know but / could take You
piece" he said, suddenly. Il live
this side of the village little way"
I'm going to the Parsons place.
DO you know where it is:'
The Parsons place! A picture Of
it, abandoned and forlorn, rose be-
fore the boy, and he contrasted 1t
mentally with the beautiful, delicate
girl before him.
YES" | know where it is, he said. !
"Tou can 90 along with me if you
want to. I've got a load of grain, 50
] shall have to 90 slow"
"Oh, | don't mind going slow" the
girl cried, gratefully. you are very
kind"
An old farm wagon loaded with
grain bags stood near She had hard
work TO Chamber up toits high seat.
They ratified away down the mud
dy read, lurching into ruts and sway
ing over stones. The girls eyes
grew wide with alarm.
Terry Quinn sat on the edge of his
scat. and gazcd straight ahead, in an
agony Of bashfulness. At intervals

The precious time sped by, but
Terry had made his plan, carefully.
He rightcd the ,agging gate lie
raked up the grass, and concealed it
beneath the bushes. He even had
time to mend some of the broken
windows.
And as a finishing touch he painted
the brown old pump a marvellous cc-
lestial blue. That was his final tri-
umph. He stood back and gazcd
entranced at the work Of his brush.

Mrs. Quinn went with thc girl to
the Parsons place. In her crisp
starchod ,unbonnet and print dress
she pIodded heavily beside the slcn-
der. girlish figure
All things were favorable this
morning Nature abetted the boy in
his kind little plan. What had looked
drcaW and unattractive the previous
night looked bright ard pleasant un-
der the spell of the clear. new day.
And the girl did not recognize the
Parsons place in its new dress. She
thought she had never seen it before.
"What a queer little place she
said, a- they approached it. But it

Mrs. Quinn.

She gazed about her almost in |
horror. But gradually the neat |
yard and trimmed bushes - the

place grew plea,antcr to her. and ,hc
nodded slowly.
