His Happiest Day-By F. A. Mitchell.

and dinner" said Mary. 4 just thort
you'd like a leetle sittin' up. SO
brought you a snack"
They had never met till the night
before, and, since the young man was
a stranger TO her and Mary did not
wish to appear bold, she turned TO go
back to the house.
Cant you wait a bit" said John
till finish the milk so you kin take
back the cup?"
"Oh, I'm in no considerable hurry"
replied the girl. and she stood still.
This milk is cold" said John. "and
they say a heap O. cold milk put sud
dent into the stummick is liable In
bring on collie.
He looked at a tree beyond the
fence. Mary took the hint and said It
would be better for him TO eat his
snack in the shade. He let down a
few rails, they stepped over the rest
and, going to the tree, sat down on
the grass. John finished his refresh
ment, but Mary made no move to re-
turn to the farmhouse, and he did not
resume his moving.
The sweetest moments neither
wealth nor power can buy. The cool
breezes blew upon these two young
persons; the fiecked sunbeams danced
upon the grass about them. They were
tasting the incipient sensation Of two
hearts drawing together. delicious as
the first swallow of rare wine. The
July scenery was around them with
its odor of production. The moving
machine was silent. The horses
were switching the flies with thei,
tails.
Mary"
A woman's voice. the voice Of NIary's
mother, came over the fields from the
house. At the same time the sound
of a horn came from a neighboriug
farm
That evening after supper Farmer
Robbins paid John Horton days
wages and told him 10 move on. John
knew the reason, but said nothing
Inwardly he remarked that the two
hours he had spent with Mary were
worth discharge ten times over.
Farmer Robbins locked the stable
door after the horse had been stolen.
It may require a burglar 10 minutes
10 steal a watch; a girls heart may
be stolen during a fash Of lightning
John Horton had stolen, through no
fault of his, Mary's heart, but he de-
clined TO steal Mary from her father.
He went away, but several years la
ter he passed that way and found
Farmer Robbins dead and Mary work
ing the farm. He was engaged as
manager and married her.
But he declares that the happiest
day of his life was the day he was
discharged for spending his time in
the shade OF a tree instead OF attend
ing to his farm work.
II was certainly an important day,
for 1t brought him q wife.

There is something in a July morn
ing that bespeaks not returning life,
like April or May. or growing life. like
June, but ripening life. The sun shines
hot, but there is the hum of indus
trious insects, and pleasanter still is
the sound of a distant moving ma
chine. II is this mellowed rattle that
bespeaks July. II denotes long swaths
OF ripened grain lying on the ground
ready TO be gathered into barns, then
10 be made into bread TO give strength
TO millions of people.
II was such a morning as this that
Mary Robbins, a farmers daughter,
caught the sound of the moving ma
chine down in her fathers wheatfeld.
The day before a young man had ap-
piled for work. He was a strapping,
manly fellow, with a pair of honest
eyes toward which his thick hair grew
and he was continually tossing his
head 20 throw IL back. He had been
engaged for the harvest, and now he
was driving that moving machine
whose rattle was waited up 10 the
farmhouse on the breeze.
Its a mighty hot morning" said
Mary 10 herself, and don't envy that
young Teller swelterin' out there in
the sun. drivin' round that square
field. He's been out there since Z
o'clock. and it's now 10. He must
need a snack. I'll just just some O.
that bacon that was left over from
breakfast between two slices Of
bread, get some milk out o. the spring
=
A little later John Horton, the farm
hand. paused to give his lathered
horses a rest and, looking up, saw the
farmers daughter from the waist up
ward above the waving wheat.
Purity as q sail ridin' the waves"
he remarked 70 himself. She seems
10 be heading straight this way"
Presently Mary emerged from the
standing wheat, treading upon that
which had fallen. Then the young
man saw that in one hand she carried
something rolled in a napkin, while in
the other was a large tin cup. He
wiped the sweat from his brow that
he might see more clearly, and some
thing pleasurable rose up in his
breast when he realized what was
coming.
"Gettin' hungry" said Mary. with
a smile. as she reached the farm hand
and. unrolling the white napkin, dis
played the sandwich.
WAL, now. amt this jist too fine
for anything"
He took the sandwich, and as his
teeth struck the succulent bacon the
expression on his face would have
served for an advertisement for a pre-
pared food. Then he took the cup and
drained half of it at a gulp. and it
seemed as If he had poured the es-
seuce OF JOY into his stomach.
Its a long spell between breakfast
