Wayne! Adams gave a little start as she entered the room. A bright ihe burned in the wide fireplace, over which hung an iron pot, from which issued savory odors. Beechnut took down the bars and drove the cows into the yard, Wylie following with her pink sun bonnet oh her arm, her sallow face full of diseon. tent. He put up the bars again, A tall, middle-aged woman was busy about the room, and a stranger sat be- fore the fire in one of the few splint- bottomed chairs the cabin contained.

The faint tiuklo of bells could be heard in the distance, as the trio fol- lowed in the foot tracks of the lowing kine; and anon the whir of partridges and twitter of night birds.

He wore a suit of the blue deuims, a A rlmless straw hat, and his feet were also bare. He was dark almost to awnrthinoss, and bis black eyes gave a gleam of dissatisfaction for and inst- ant, while the rich blood suffused his neck and face until it was fairly pur- ple. "l aim; lair,” he said slowly, while a wide sweep of the oars with his strong arms and brnwny shoulders, shot the little boat fur upon the pebbly shore, like an arrow from a catapult. “You’re never tardy," she continued with a slight sneer, at nsmnll skiffcon. mining one occupant, a young fellow of about twenty three year of age, round- ed the point.

Again the pitiful blush mounted her cheeks, and with one bound she was out of sight, and flying like n frightened bird through the trees and thick underbush. When she reached her humble home again, she paused at the watering trough and bathed her face, hands and feet. “I d’clar fer't, ye look sick. Whar ya bin so airly, Wyhef" V "Down yonder," the girl answered, nodding towards the creek; and gaining her mother's consent to don her foot wear, she hastened up to the loft and put on her one pair of best stockings, a mixed red and woolen, and her coarse cowhide shoes, changed her apron, smoothed down her hair, and came back and sat down in a. chair near the fire-place. The weather was still warm and balmy, bat she felt chilled through. None too soon, for her father and Mr. _'fTr"r-e1 A '?Pre/'u/1"iatk'iiy)iisciied seein, his daughter In holida. tt , , .‘7 Dir. Anson nn+"_:, V a Ire, while "Yas," she sobbed. "I do," and then she heard .the soft dip of the oars as the boat went from shore, and "Nil" gave a low, piteous whine, then all was still, Presently the head that was buried in the long, brown hands fell over to one side and rested against the trunk of a. tree, and Wylie Adams slept while the dog lay dosing at her side. Mrs. Adams looked up quickly; she was rough and uncouth, but the moth- er heart wad there. "Do you reely mean that, Wylie Adams?" he asked, as he stepped into his little skiff. "Mother," she said, coming close to her side where she sat in the open door, "I'm sick, can't I pat on my shoesi” "Yore allus in my way," she said roughly. He looked up quickly. "Am I?” deeply. "Yas, ullus an’ allus. I wish you’d go away so fur 't I'd never see you a,7'm." She sat down and buried her face in her hands. Then he did look surprised, for to him It had seemedjuse the other way; and when he first caught 9a glimpse of her dress through the trees, his heart gave a sudden bound, and for an instant only, he ilattervd himself she c‘lme be. cause he, was there; but it was only for aninstsht. He madeno reply as he pushed the boat into the water and threw the chain in, preparing to follow. "What you follecin' me fort." she ask ed savagely. rho' scarcely four o'clock, Beech, nut Lord, her companion of the night previous, was before her and unfasten- ing his boat. "You here?” she spoke almost fitsoely. "Yes," he answered humbly, not ex pressing the surprise he felt at meeting her there at that early hour, nor making any explanations as to his own conduct while the dull red crept up to the roots of his black hair. "I hate him,” she murmured, and again that dry, choking sob. There was a glitter in her eyes that shown brightly under the radiance of the moon, and in her heart a sensation born of woe, that this stranger was a ursur- per and had no right to this spot, these trees, this rippling water, this place that seemed to her had known her al- ways, tho' the land was his before she was born. All night long she sat um til the day broke, then with a pale face and weary (was, she crept down the ladder. and -rtrimirxsg to "Nil," the Wylie Adams didn't wait for more, but with a little dry, choking sob, har. ried away and up the ladder to the loft she called her room; but she did not go to bed; she sat down on the floor: by the tiny window, with a look on her face it had never known before, and watched the moon as it came slowly up through the tie a and silvered the wat- ers of the wide creek. "A young ohnp as is rich as all git out, an he's goiu to build a. big, fine house down thur by the old ford, an' I reckin he'll bring his folks hyer arter that, tho’ he didn't say." After the young man had been given a "tallow dip," and shown to the inner room, and the rude door closed after him for the night, Wylie crept to her father’s side. "Not such a bad looking girl, if she was well dressed and educated. Nice eyes. Badly tanned. No, I don't ad- mire redlmir. Most too thin and tall, and why does she go barefootedf" She was not a. mind reader, had nev- er heard of such a being, and only con- tinued to feel humble and embarrassed without knowing why.

When Howard Anson announced that he would leave Silver Creek the next morning and could not tell when he would return, Wylie's heart beat so tumultuously she thought she would fall. He did not go till the next afternoon, however, just before dusk; and when he had hidden Mr. and Mrs. Adams good- bye, Wylie was not there, but waiting for him outside; and when he passed where she stood hidden, she stole after him as he strolled down towards the old ford through the now almost leafless trees, many of which had been cut down, and lay inlhuge piles about; and catching up with him, touched him lightly upon the hand. He turned with a violent start. "Mr.--ur.--smron/rshe stammered. Poor child, she was very innocent of the world's ways, and much to be pitted He paused and looked at her in a: tonishment. "Well, what do you want” Have you come to Say good-bye? I remembel new that I did not see you at the house He extended his hand. She grasped ie eagerly, and held it fast between her two cold, thin hands. "Don't you-dos/t you care nuthin’ fer me, Mr. Anson?” weekly, with tho sound of tears in her voice. It: seemed hardly possible that this was the wilful, apparently cruel Wylie of a few weeks previous. "What do 'you mean?” he asked sternly. "Miss Adams," he said,“I am sorry for this; go home; you have been a great annoyance to me; I wish to never see you again. A girl to do such a. thing," and then he strode on, leaving her standing there, cold, still and White, wishing she were dead.

He took his hand from her detaipipa grasp. Wylie began to droop, and grow pale and spiritless, and yet in all this time she had never once given Beeclmut Lord one thought. Matiz-rs continued in this way for some time, Mr. Anson not being able to getaway as soon as he expected. Poor child, she did not consider wealth, education, station or power as anything to be wished for,0r as a barrier between herself and anything that she desired. She frequently gathered fresh flowers and placed them in his room, but he always gave her mother the thanks for being so kind, and said 110th f?

His very indifference drew her towards him. She began to do many little Favors for him, which he seemed to take as a mat. ter of course. The next morning Wylie went about the house as usual, but still wore her shoes and stocking. When Mr. Anson returned to bis supper that evening, there was a difterentlighe in his eyes, and he regarded the girl curiously. That, day Wylie learned that Mr. Anson was to board with her parents for several weeks, as Mr. Adams' house was the nearest of access to his build- ing site, and although everything was oftlseplainestandeoarsest. Mrs. Adams was very neat, and the young million airs was sensible and content. Wylic's was a nature always at war with itself, and yet, though she stung him with taunts and treated him worse than her dog, Beeclmut toiled for her, waited upon her, and loved her with a dumb, hopeless sort of a. devotion, worthy of any woman's love, one might have said a better cause; bat there were deep wells in Wylie Adam’s nature, all unfathomed, and her capabilities for good and usefulness, and kindly returns were great. Spoiled in one great sense she had become a little tyrant. Beech- nut Lord would long ago have turned his eyes and heart in another direction lmd it not been for the rare intervals of kindly toleration which lifted him to the seventh heaven, only to make him her willing slave and adorer again. I I Wylie Adams and Bee.hnut Lord had grownup side by side on the little woodland farms owned by their parents and each was an only child.
