 Water He Carried.

It was by no means a holiday tass for Amos Boggs to carry pail after pail o. water from the old well through the orchard and across the henyard to the kitchen, where Mrs. Boggs washed for the family and a dozen or so of GUS. toners. Therefore he was in no mood to enjoy questions.

 He smiled his reply. and his satisfac- tion.
 My room is next to this. Shall I get it?"
 Yes. B1t don't let-any one come. You-alone-I want"
 Esther rose. wondering at such a fancy at such a moment; wondering if she ought to leave him. In a second she was back Even as she went. she tossed her hair loosely on top of her head, as Gideon had liked it. and shot the glittering shaft through.
 He watched her with fond eyes as she came to the bed and knelt down.
 You are very beautiful, Moppett, !" he whispered, as she took his hands again in hers.
 Long he gazed into her face
 She kissed him on cheek and fore head, at last lightly on the lips
 Mine. Mine for this hour" he said with breath of his old passion. His eyes grew deep and darker with their strange, cryptic flash. oh. Star" he whispered; T tried-I-" He lifted his eyes to the ceiling and whispered saintly, "A life for life

 The stiffness crept on, and on. over all the room, over the face before her, into her own heart-the stiffness that was death. Only once his lips moved; it was to frame the old child name, "Muppett."
 The shaft of brilliance crept down from the gemmed arrow. down through the stiffness. touched Gideon's night black hair with light. And Esther saw that last, spent, outward breath that has no indrawn follower.

Hsi face was turned away. His eyes were closed, and Esther leaned closer, listening for his waning breath. Was this the last? She must call-no, he breathed more deeply She laid her hand on his forehead, kissed his cheek softly.
 At that he opened his eyes and smiled. One promise. Stella. Will you?" He reached feebly for her hand.
 She nodded. ";f I can"
