the kitchen and out OF slght In the yard.
Toby. just taking the last choice bits
OF his breakfast. cast a furtive glance at
the girl and noted the trembling lips
and fearful eyes.
Now. John" said Mrs. Caldwell In q
pleading tone. "you have hurt the dear

The idea OF ~scrimping and pinching on

Caldwell. now evincing unmistakable
signs Of anger: and leaving the room, she
slammed the door after her.
With a sigh Of mingled contentment
and regret Toby slowly rose and pre-
pared 20 leave the snug room which
seemed a paradise 10 him. Al he passed
| the dairy he saw Amy, with a Jar of
cream In her hand. and thanked her for
his repast. Then. with a forlorn home
sickness that wouldn't be shook OF, he
aimlessly climbed the long. rcd hill, and
presently finding himself In a sunny, shell
tered spot, he threw himself on the dry
leaves for. what he seldom INDUCED In, q
little sober reflection:
"If I were in that farmers place.
he soliloquized, 81 honestly believe I
could be as thankful a. he ought 20 be.
I wish I could help that kind-hearted
girl. but what can q poor tramp dot"
He was thinking OF pursuing his jour.

meant 30 be. Who would have thought

should see me. but I'll not give him the
chance" And Toby crouched low In the
fence corner. while the farmer and cattle
trader hagsled about the bunch OF plump
calves In the pasture field before them.
AT last the bargain being concluded,
| the trader paid che farmer fifty dollars
and departed, while Mr.. Caldwell entered
the woods at Toby's hack. Toby's eyes
followed him thoughtfully.
