The Girl Behind the Plow.
Ye city bellies who stand and prir:p
Before the glass each day,
And try to put some color where
The bloom has fled away,
Behold your country cousins charms
And at her freshness bow;
The morning kissed her lips red,
While riding fathers plow.
I saw her drive the team aield,
And mount the iron seat,
As 1.-the as any kitten when
1t springs with cushioned feet,
The city miss, with lazy yawn,
And marble face and brow,
Was sleeping off the last nights dance
While Ceres rode the p,ow.
The one is like flower that grows
Within sunless room;
The other drinks Gods morning air
That gives the richer bloom.
The one may pound the strident keys
And below like COW;
The other sings the worlds bread song
The while she rides the plow.
When fashions glided race Is run
And time has left his scars
On powdered beauty, that once shone
Like meteoric stars;
Then who will press her painted lips
Or breathe the lovers VOW,
While summer tints with rosy blush
The girl who rides the plow!

After Chip had run away from

and all else had forced itself upon her
1t was not natural for her to deceive
She had kept II up for one unhappy
year only under inward protest, which
ended in abject confession and tears.
Now recalling that unpleasant episode.
she made haste to confess her long

and talked for two hours. He was

and from that time on she never even
walked down to the village store ex-

A curious and almost ridiculous
espionage followed, however. for a
week, and not a pleasant afternoon

Life, always colorless at Christmas

came changed for Aunt Abby. For all
the years since her one girlish ro-
nance had ended, she had been a pa
tient helpmate to a man she merely
respected. Religion had been her chief
solace. The annual visit to her sis
ter's gave the only relief to this mo-
tionless life, monotonous as the tides
sweeping In and out of the cove: but
now a commencement slowly flowed
into 1t.
Chip, of course, with her winsome
eyes and grateful ways. was its main
spring, and so checkered had been her
career and so huInfliating all her past
experiences, that now. escaped from
dependence and feeling herself val
ued companion, she tasted new and
Joyous life So true was this, that
hard lessons at school, the regularity
Of church-going, and the unvarying
tenor Of it all seemed less by COM
parison.
Another undercurrent. aside from
Chips devotion, also swept into Aunt
Abby's feelings,-the strange emotions
following the knowledge that her for
rner lover was still alive. For many
years she had waited and hoped for
thisfailor boys return: then her heart
