Who said that she. would marry some !
rich cattleman within . year.
Following on the heels Of the nxst
report came one that Miss Kitty nad
had an offer Of $50 . week to 30 on
the stage and play the part OF little
Eva In Uncle Toms Cabin. Hsf
good looks and her talent would IN
sure her marriage to . millionaire DE-
fore the end Of the second season.
The third report was to the eject
that Miss Kitty was to accompany
rich Boston lady - companion on =
trip around the world. to be gone two
years, and that in Paris she would
surely ind q count to fall in love ana
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. 1t said,
that Mhs 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
medico. and the patient was doing
well.
Earl Andrews father had given him
Z start in life by buying him -four
ing mill. Al the sad-hearted young
man ground the wheat into flour the
gossip of the village reached his ears
and gave him cold chills. 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
back to the farm house. and with
tears in her eyes she asked forgive
ness. He would pretend to think the
matter over for . couple Of minutes
and then say:
very well. but don't let It happen
again"
The sum Of money which that
young man would have given. to put
things back two weeks he figured out
on one of his paper -four sacks at
q, $50 ,224.S5. He figured It three
times, 20 there could be no mistake
about It. The words .lovsd and lost"
rang in his ears above the grinding OF
the mill.
Pa Remsen had heard all the re-
ports a. they came out. and at length
the time came when he must talk.
ma, what does It all mean?" he
asked. A
.oh, It's you, Il iti'' was answered.
Didn't tell you to keep your nose
Jutf" @
"Yes; but"
"And you do I'll"
"But what's Kitty doing out In the
orchard? Some tramp may como
along and yell at her. guess Tll--'
"You guess nothing! Don't you go
near the orchard, and don't you call
her!"
He went OF to work In the corn
field, but an hour later came tiptoeing
back to the house to say:
Martha, there's q tramp skulking
In the orchard"
Tramp nothing, you old hen.
really believe you are getting blind!
Go back to your work."
It was only half an hour this time
before pa returned to say:
There's 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 1t was two or
three minutes before the wife said:
Nov you can get ready to ash
Earl Andrews to stay to supper. It's
him out there with Kitty"
Gosh all hemlock!" 5
"And you'd have split the hull
thing!" 4
"Then-then-"
Then you shet up! never did
see what cabbage heads men are over

out and hang around the back door In
q keerless way, and when they come
up you ask Earl to have a glass OF
buttermilk to stay his stomach till !
