"ickfy, With shout of laughter. bois-
ferrous as boys.
NOW don't laugh that way, pa. Of
course heA hear you, and know that
we re making fun of him. And l wouldn't
want to insult him so grossly"
Insult him, indeed! He's entirely too
sensible fellow to be insulted in any
such trivial way. What an everlasting
worker he is! That professor, j. Ali
son huntiey. must have an easy time of
IL. can't see what's left for him to do,
ms man seems to manage all the dig
gins, and all the gathering up of fossils,
ana all the writing in the field book And
ne carries the surveying apparatus him
sell with one rodman and one chairman.
I've seen them myself. And I've never
seen Prof. Huntley at all. Not glimpse
of him."
Yes! Isn't that queer? None of us
nave seen Prof. Huntley, although he
mas been here since the last of March
the 24th day exactly. l know, because
made the lettuce bed that day. l sup
pose he feels too high above the Sand
town people to present himself among
them. l should think he'd come to hear
his able assistant, Mr.. Mason, preach Of
Sunday, anyhow" put in Mrs. Wickly,
with some energy and indignation.
why. ma, he takes the train home
on Saturday morning or Friday evening.
Ot course he wouldn't care to stay over
Just to hear Mr.. Mason preach! Isn't
there all the wise preachers of the great
city for him to pick and choose among?
And isn't it right, too, for him to put
all the coarse, mechanical work upon his
employees? l don't see why you people
should find SO much fault with Prof.
Huntley. | think he's splendid gentle
man, and am dying to make his ac-
quaintance. But must hurry out Mr..
Mason is only across the street"
Shaking her head ut her mother, Miss
Lizzy, pulling up the long gloves, and
pulling down the long sunbonnet, ran out
into the garden, chirping little frag
ment of love ditty.
''She won't hear word against that
Huntley," said Mrs Wickly with laugh.
Il believe the girls in love with a man
she never saw. SO l do"
ooh, like enough! like enough She
isn't in love with Mason, though. Poor
fellow! / absolutely pity him, Matt. She
leases and worries him to death, when
ever she can bring herself to bear his
society for minute! Now, she'll hoe
that garden till high noon if he stays in
the house that long. I've a mind to send
him into the garden just to tease her
little"
Better let her have her own way
about it. If she doesn't like his COM
pany, the less she has of it the better
she will be pleased. And | don't want
her to get so she won't speak to him.
For his preaching and example have GER
tainly done a great deal in stimulating
her to more persistent work at her writ
ing And that pleases me. Besides, he
has obtained for her the writing up of
little summer resort pamphlet for some
of the railroads, and she is to get nearly
q hundred dollars for it. Think of that
and, other work that it will naturally
bring! That's how she can let you so to
Chicago this time"
Mr.. John gave a low whistle, and NUT
tcring something to the effect that he
supposed it was in reality / rof. Hunt
ley's influence that was doing all these
fine things for their daughter, turned TO
greet Mr. Mason, while Mrs. Wickly,
declaring all her irons ice cold, ran back
to the kitchen.
