AT the appointed hour Jane dressed
up and set out for the mill. 1t was a
dark night, and she'd have been bit
scared, only Jim was holding her
round the waist until they got near the
mill, and then he let her go and crept
in under the timbers, just beneath
where Mr.. Polhemus was pacing to
and fro, just as he'd done in the book.
Presently Jane comes up to him.
"'Ha! So you've come says Mr..
Polhemus.

says Mr. Polhemus, and puts his arms
round her; and before she knew what
he was doing Mr.. Polhemus had kissed
her.
Jane started to raise a rumpus,
with Jim under the timbers, as you
can suppose, but Jim was paralyzed.
You see, Jane had assured him that
nothing like that had happened, and
there it had happened under his nose.
He stays paralyzed moment, and
then he springs up and tries to land
one on Mr. Polhemus nose. Mr..
Polhemus ducks and down goes Jim
into the millrace.
"He let out yell that would have

last autumn. Upon prospects OF blg

August, when a majority Of the farm

New York in these parts, studying our

rustics. But we didn't know it until
Mr.. Peter Polhemus woke us up to
that fact.
"That was the Mr.. Peter Polhemus
who made such stir with his book
on New England folks last year. Sold

himself was the hero-you could tell
that the minute you set eyes on the

was the rustic villain.
'He was nice man we thought
then-Mr. Polhemus, / mean, always

our unsophisticated ways. He'd stop
me in the middle of the street to ask
the meaning of some common express

he'd spent three weeks at Cy Browns,

he know 'em? Cy Brown raised Cain
with Jane for the things she'd done in
the book. The hero was Mr.. Polhemus,
under another name. He was an au-
thor seeking local color, and in the END
he married Jane, in spite OF Jim bow
ers, who was the villain, only he'd
given him a mustache. AS for me and
Cy Brown, we was just ignorant old
country people who used strange
words, and I'd told him the meaning of
'em all myself.
Jim was SO mad when he heard
about it that he got a copy. and when
he'd read it he wouldn't speak to
Jane. 1t seems that the hero had
used to kiss Jane behind the barn,
and Jim thought Mr.. Polhemus had
done 1t. 1t took Jane the best part OF
a week to persuade Jim that she
hadn't kissed Mr.. Polhemus, and as
soon as she had convinced him that
she hadn't Jane started in and wanted
to know why he'd robbed bank in his
youth and had to give her up to Mr..
Polhemus so as he shouldn't tell on
him. and why he'd won her simple rus
