who said that she would marry some


rich caitleman within q year
Following on the heels of the first
report came one that Miss Kitty had
had an offer of $50 week to go on
the stage and play the part OF little
Eva in Uncle Toms Cabin" Her
good looks and her talent would in
sure her marriage to a millionaire be-
fore the end of the second season
The third report was to the effect
that Miss Kitty was to accompany
rich Boston lady as companion on a
trip around the world, to be gone two
years, and that in Paris she would
surely find a count to fall in love and
propose to her.
The three reports were rather in
definite. but the fourth was vouched
for by the county paper. 1t could
state on the best of authority, It said,
that Miss Kitty Remsen, daughter OF
the well-known and highly esteemed
farmer Remsen. had been knocked
down by running hog and had her
left leg broken. The bone had been
set by d. Cummings. the popular
meilco, and the patient was doing
well.
Earl Andrews father had given him
start in life by buying him a flour
ing mill. As the sad-hearted young
man ground the wheat into -four the
gossip of the village reached his ears
and gave him cold chiIls. He had
loved and lost. He had meant to love,
but the lost was different matter.
He had rather picked the fuss for the
sake of making up. He even knew
Just what he would reply when peni-
tent note from Kitty brought him
h.ck 10 the farm house. and with
tears in hor eyes she asked forgive
ness. He would pretend to think the
matter over for a couple OF minutes
nud then say:
"Vory Wei, but don't let it happen
Rgain."
The sum of money which, that
yourg man would have given to put
things back two weeks he figured out
on one of his paper -four sacks at
'3,S50.224S5. He figured it three
times, so there could be n5 mistake
about It The words 'loved and lost"

the mill.
Pa Remsen had heard all the re-
ports as they came out, and at length
the time came when he must talk.
Ma, what does it all mean?" he
asked.
"Oh. it's you, is it?" was answered.
Didn't l tell you to keep your nose
out?"
"Yes: but"
And you do it,"
But what's Kitty doing out in the
orchard? Some tramp may come
along and yell at her. l guess M"
You guess nothing, Don't you go
near the orchard, and don't you call
her,"
He went off to work in the corn
field. but an hour later came tiptoeine
back to the house to say:
Martha, there's a tramp skulking
In the orchard"
Tramp nothing. you old hen. I
really believe you are getting blind!
Co back to your work."
1t was only half an hour this time
before pa returned to say:
There's a tramp right up to Kitty
and talkin' with her! I'm goin' out
and"
He was whirled around and flung
down on a chair and it was two or
three minutes before the wife said:
Now you can get ready. to ask
Earl Andrews to stay to supper. It's
him out there with Kitty"
Gosh all hemlock!"
"And you'd have split the hull
thing!"
''Then-then-"
"Then you shet up! I never did
see what cabbage heads men are over
maxim up lovers quarre's, Jest go
out and hang around the back door in
keerless way. and when they come
up you ask Earl to have glass Of
buttermilk to stay his stomach till ]
can get the love-feast ready"
