has been leading a double life. For
years she has been held up as an eX-
ample of all that was aspiring and in

Browning tucked under her arm her
path has seemingly been no primrose
path of dalliance but the rougher one
of mental culture. But only seeming
", alas! For just recently we have
been informed that the Boston girl
swears. that she knows something of
the combination of that wicked drink,
the cocktail, that she has even been
caught in the act of smoking a cigar
cite. We owe this disconcerting in
formation to one of the Boston girls
own sex. Naturally the informer does
not come from Boston, however. AS
tourist she has been observing the
American girls of the various cities
and she finds the Boston girl the most
forward of all. Forward" is her own
word. Her so-called intellectually is
nothing but a pose" insists the in

We hope this is not true of the Bos-
ton girl We seldom love the people
who are held up to us as examples. And
people on pedeStalS are excellent tar

has ever grudged the Boston girl her
exalted position. She has filed an i'm
portant place for she could always be

American girl who took life, herself
and everybody else seriously. We trust
she will still be able to occupy the pc

discover that she has been maligned.

take the care of a. woman on your
shoulders"
Dick Pendergrass looked surprised at
such sentiments from his father. He
knew, of course, that as farmers go,
his father was really a very thoughtful
husband. When he was around the
house he did all the lifting for his wife,
except, of course, when he, Dick, was
there to help her. But the farm was
poor, and he worked early and late, and
so the old couple had grown careworn
together.
His fathers cough was very bad this
SEASON, and his sinewy frame had be-
come pitifully thin and feeble.
II could bring Lucindy right here"
he said suddenly. II am sure she'd
take right hold an help ma if she'd let
her!"
He had forgotten entirely what his
father was saying while the vision of
the old people rose up before him, so he
was not prepared for his fathers out
burst of scorn nOr~the flood of elo-
quence from that unexpected quarter.
THAT'S it, yew scoundrel! Yew would
dew jest thati You'd bring that girl here
an let her wear herself out jest the
same as I have done with Betsy Hain't
1T bad enough that one in the family
has ill-treated a woman, an that the
father who is settin' before you? tell
you when I married your mother she
was purity GAL as purity as Lucindy,
an might say purifier. An that kind
of life has she had with me-she with
her blue eyes an purity pink cheeks
that was sweet enough fer king or
emperor What has she had in all
the years that she has been my wife :?
No doggoned thing but hard work
an worryl Fust it's churn an wash
dishes, then it's wash dishes an churn,
not tew say nothin' of the coolxin' an

come if yew marry Lucindy. No, sirI
won't give my consent tew your mar
ryin' that gall don't dew 1t, Dick,
now that come to think 1t over!'
A sharp fit of coughing brought the
TRADE to an end, and Dick managed
to catch his breath before his father
had recovered.
"Ain't mother satisfied" he began
with poor courage, then waited breath
lessly for his fathers answer.
"Air the angels in heaven satisfied
tew be forever twangin' on golden
harps? OF course they be, fer they

IT hope you amt got no objections to
my margin Lucindy, dad! I think an
awful lot of her, an I'm pretty sure
she sets a lot by me, tho why, l done
jest know, for there's lots of fellers in
LonesomeviIle that's got more about
'em than me to make a woman like
'em!"
Z The speaker, Dick Pendergrass, was
a freckle-f faced lad with honest blue
eyes and a taffy- colored mustache that
was just in the act of sprouting.
He looked at his father rather shyly
at first, but as the old man removed
his pipe from his mouth, and hitched
his chair back a little upon the porch,
he grew more courageous and faced
him squarely.
81 hain't no objections tew Lucindy,
Dick" said the old man slowly, "an'
neither has your ma, nor any on the
children; but don't act tew quick about
marryin', my boy! Take my advice an
don't you act tew quick about It'll"
But, dad, we're both old enough to
marry, I'm sure, an as for changin' our
minds, that air amt possible! I shall
live! Why shouldn't we get married
without no more waitin'?"
The farmer was silent for several
minutes. When he spoke again his
voice was a bit husky, and twice he
coughed a little as if to cover his real
feelings.
"Your ma an I thought that way
once, my boy. We was in love an
couldn't see no good reason fer wait
in. Yew know what a life we've had of
hnr on t11n fo1~r0a Sc ,, tx1b
but a lifetime of worryin' an slavin'.
don't say but what you've got more
tew start with than your old dad had,
but yew amt got much, not half as
much as you'd oughter have when yew
