CHAPTER K.

LITTLE after daybreak they 1 A went on with the cows. For half a mile or more, until the little house had sunk below the hill crest. Trove was looking back ward. Now and ever after he was to think and tarry also in the road of life and look behind him for the golden towers of memory. The drovers saw a change in Trove and flung at hin with their stock of rusty, ancestral witticisms. But Thurst lilly had way of saying and doing quite his own. Never see any one knocked so flat as ye was." said he. 'Ye didn't know enough [ keep ahead O the cattle. I declare. I thought they'd trample ye fore we could git yer eye unsot."
 Trove made no answer.
 That air gal had mighty power in her eye" Thurst went on. When I see her totin' you off las night I says t the boys. says I: Sid is goin' t git stepped on. He ain't never goin' t be the same boy ag'in.'"

 That night they came to A wild coun- try. where men and cattle lay down to rest by the roadway. a thing Trove en- joyed. In the wagon were bread and butter and boiled eggs and tea and doughnuts and cake and dried herring. The men built fires and made tea and ate their suppers and sang. as the night fell. those oIden ballads of the frontier. Barbara Allen "Bonaparte's Dream and the "Droyer's Daughter"
 For days they were driving in the wild country At bedtime each wound himself in a blanket and lay down to rest beneath a rude Iesn-to If 1t were raining. hut mostly under the stars. On this journey Trove got his habit of sleeping out Of doors in fair weather. After it. save in midvinter. walls seemed 10 weary and roofs to smother him.

"T did not know of it." said Trove

'T did not know of It." said Trove.
 ''Know ye not there is country in easy reach of us with fair fields an proud cities an many people an all delights, boy, all delights? There I hope thou shalt found a city myself an build it well so nothing shall over throw it-fire. nor flood, nor the slow siege O years" M
 "Where?' Trove inquired eagerly.
 'In the Blessed Isles. boy, in the Blessed Isles. Imagine the infinite sea O time that Is behind us. Stand high an look back over it's dead level. King an empire an all their striving multi tudes are sunk in the mighty deep. But thou shalt see rising out of it the Blessed Isles of imagination. Green forever green are they-and scattered far into the dim distance Look! There is the city O Shakespeare-Norman towers an battlements an gothic arches looming above the sea. Go there an look at the people as they come an go. Mingle with them an find good company-merry hearted folk a-plenty, an God knows I love the merry heart ed! Talk with them, an they will teach thee wisdom. Hard by is the Isle of Milton, an beyond are many. It would take thee years to visit them. An, sor. half me time I live in the Blessed Isles"
 Lets go to the Isle O Milton," Trove suggested.
 Well, go to one O the clocks there an set it back" said the tinker.
 How much?" Trove inquired, with a puzzled look.
 Well, matter O POO years" said Darrel, who was now turning the leaves. List ye, boy. We're up to the shore an hard by the city gates. How sweet the air O this enchanted isle!
 '"And west winds with musky wing
 Down the cedarn alleys fling
 Nard and cassia's balmy smells"
 He quoted thoughtfully, turning the leaves; then he read the shorter poems, score of them. his voice sounding the noble music of the lines. It was reve- lation for those raw youths and led them high. They forgot the passing of the hours and till near midnight were as those gone to strange country, and they long remembered that night with Darrel of the Blessed Isles.

Twice a day Trove passed the little shop, and If there were a chalk mark on the dial he bounded upstairs to greet his friend. Sometimes he brought another boy into the rare at- mosphere of the clock shop-one, may hap. who needed some counsel of the wise old man.
 Spring had come again. Every day sewers walked the hills and valleys around Hillsborough. their hands swinging with a godlike gesture that summoned the dead to rise. Every where was the odor of broken field or garden. Night had come again after a day of magic sunlight. and soon after s o'clock Trove was at the door of the tinker. with a schoolmate.

 Allen had prospered and begun to speculate in cattle. Every year late in April he went to Canada for drove and sent them south. a great caravan that filled the road for half a mile or more, tramping wearily under a cloud of dust He sold few here and there as rne drove went on-a far journey, often, to the sale of the last lot
 The drove came along one morning about the middle of May, 1S47. Trove met them at the four corners on Cara way pike. Then about sixteen years of age, he made his first long journey hito the "oiiu "itu hAeh utoNc. iie had his time that summer and 90 cents for driving. It was an odd busi- ness and for the boy full of new things.
 A man went ahead in a blackboard wagon that bore provisions. One work cd in the middle and two behind. Trove was at the heels of the first sec ton. It was easy work.after the cattle got used to the road and a bit lag weary. They stopped them for water at the creeks and rivers. slowed them down to browse or graze awhile at noontime. and when the sun was low,

 Love Riley Brooke?" said Trove doubtfully.
 "A great achievement, I grant thee . said the tinker, flor if we can love him we shall be able to love anybody. Let us try an see what comes of it."
 A man was waiting for Darrel at tha foot of the old stairs-a tall man. poor. ly dressed, whom Trove had not seen before and whom now he was not able to see clearly in the darkness.
 '.The mare is ready" said Darel. "'Tis dark night"
 He to whom the tinker had spoken made no answer.
 Good night" said the tinker. turn ing. "A Merry Christmas to thee, boy, an peace an plenty"
 ''I have peace, and you have given me plenty to think about" said Trove
 On his way home tie boy thought of the stranger at the stairs. wondering if he were the other tinker of whom Darrel had told him.. At his lodging he found new pair of boots with only the Christmas greeting on a card.

 They went away, but only the mo ments hurried. They that read here though their heads be gray and theil hearts heavy, will understand, for they will remember some little space of time, with seconds flashing as they went, like dust of diamonds In the hourglass.

 "No."

 Do you read stories"
 All can get. I've been reading 'Greytower.' T read 1t last winter" said the boy. What did you like best in it?'
 I'm ashamed to tell you," said she, with quick glance at him.
 Please tell me-"
 'Oh, the love scenes, of course" said she. looking down with sigh and a little hesitation.
 He was fine lover"

 ''I can see it." said he.
 Tt must be a bear, you look so frightened"
 Its nothing to be afraid of," said the boy.
 Well your hands tremble," said she. laughing.
 There" he answered. removing speck of dust with his handkerchief
 Tt is gone now, thank you," said Polly, winking.
 She stood close to him, and as she spoke her lips trembled. He could de- lay no longer with a subject knocking at the gate of speech.
 Do you believe in love at first sight?" he asked.
 She turned. looking up at him seri ously. Her lips parted in smile that showed her white teeth. Then her glance fell. "I shall not tell you that" said she in half whisper. "I hope we shall meet again." he said.
 Do you?" said she, glancing up at him shyly.
 "Yes" "Well. if were you and wanted to see girl-I'd-Pd come and see her"
 What if you didn't know whether she was willing or not?" he asked. I'd take my chances" said she sO- berly. There were pauses in which their | souls went far beyond their words and | seemed to embrace each other fondly | with arms of the spirit invisible and 'esistless. And, whatever was to come, n that hour the great priest of love in he white robe of innocence had made hem one. The air about them was 'ull of strange delight. They were in leep dusk as tSey neared the house. For one moment of long remembered oy she let him put his arm about her waist, but when he kissed her cheek he drew herself away.
 They walked little time in silence. "I am no fiirt." she whispered pres ntly. Neither spoke for a moment. Then she seemed to feel and pity his motion. Something slowed the feet f both.
 There" she whispered; you may ,iss my hand if you care to- He kissed the pretty hand that was ffered to him. and her whisper seemed o ring in the dusky silence like the lying rhythm of bell.

ing. At length the drove was reduced to one section, Trove following with the helper named Thurston lilly, familiar. ly known as Thurst.
 He was a tall. heavy, good natured man, distinguished for fat, happiness and singular aptitudes. He had lifted a barrel of salt by the chimes and put it on a wagon; once he had eaten two mlnce pies at meal; again, he had put his heels six inches above his head on a barn door, and any time he could wiggle one ear or both or whistle on his thumb.
 It was not easy to dispose of cattle in the southern counties that year, but they found a better market as they bore west. and were across the border of Ohio when the last of the drove were sold. That done. Trove and Tburst lilly took the main road to Cleveland. whence they were to return home by steamboat. an
 It led them into woods and by stumpy fields and pine odored hamlets. The first day of their walk was rainy. and they went up toteway Into thick timber and built a fire and kept dry and warm until the rain ceased. That evening they fell in with emigrants on their way to the far west.
 The latter were camped on the edge of a wood near the roadway and cook ing supper as the two came along. Be ing far from town Trove and lilly were glad to accept the hospitality of the travellers.
 They had come to the great highway of travel from east to west. Every day it was cut by wagons of the mover overloaded with Lares and Penates. with old and young. enduring hard ships and the loss of home and old ac- quaintance for hope of better fortune.
 A man and wife and three boys were the party. travelling with two wagons. They were bound for Iowa and, being heavy loaded. were having a hard time. All sat on a heap of boughs fin inc fireiight after supper. .-

 Evidently his cheerful courage had been all that kept them going.
