B.—All debts due this office vf* payable in Coin, unless otherwise expressly agreed Bill was certainly in capital Twawcny costume, but though he straiDed every nerve, he could not touch the buggy or reach the lines that were dragging on tb » ground. After a while his plug bat shook off the seat, and the hind wheel went over it, making it flat as apan-cake. Bill snatched at it as he ran, and, after jam ming his fist into it, stuck it, all dusty and dimpled ,on his head. And now he saw the widow's house on the top of the hill, and what, oh what will he do T Then- his coat fell out and he slipped it on, and then making a desperate spurt he clutch ed the back of the seat and scrambled In# and pulling the buffalo robe over his legs stuffed the other things beneath. Now the hqrse happened to be one he got of ’Squire Moore, and he got it from the wid ow, and he took it into his head to stop at the gate,which Bill had no power to pre vent, as he was too busy buttoning ble coat up to bis chlh to think of doing much else. The widow heard the rattling of wheels and looked out, and seeing that It was Smiley, and he didn’ t offer to get out she went to see w'hat he wanted, and there she stood chatting with her whlta arms on the top of her gate, and her face toward him, while the chills ran down his shirtless back clear to his bare feet beneath the buffalo robe, and the water from his hair and the dust from hi» hat had combined to make some nice little streams of mud that came trickliDg down his face. She asked him to come in. No, he wae in a hurry, he said. Still he did not offer to go He did not like to ask her to pick up his reins for him, because be did not know what excuse to make lor not doing it himself. Then he looked down the road behind him and saw a white-faced horse coming, and at once surmised it was that of Gus Sockrider ! He resolved to do or die, and hurriedly told his errand. The widow would be delighted to go, of course she would. But wouldn’t becom e iu. “ No, he was in a hurry, he said; h# had to go on to Green’s place. “ Oh,” said the widow, “ You’re going to Green’s, are you 7 W hy, I am going there myself to get one of the girls to help me quilt to-morrow. Just wait a second while I get my bonnet and shawl.” And away she skipped. “ Thunder and lightning !” said Bill, what a scrape ! and he hastily clutched his pants from between his feet, and was preparing to wriggle into them, when a light wagon drawn by the white-faced horse,driven by a boy. came along and stopped beside him. The boy held up a pair o f boots iu one hand and a pair of socks in one hand and just as the widow reached the gate again he said: “ Here’s your boots and socks, Mr. Smi ley, that you left on the bridge when you were in swimming.” “ You’re mistaken,” said Bill, “ they’re not mine.” “ W hy,” said the boy, “ ain’t you th* young man that had the race after th* horse just now 7” • “ No, sir, I am not i You’d better go ou abou t your business.” “ Bill sighed at the loss of his Sunday boots, and, turning to the widow, said: “ Just pick up the lines, will you, Thl* brute of a horse is always switching them out of my hands.” The widow complied; then he pulled one corner of the robe down ns she got in. “ What a lovely evaning.” said she; ‘ and so warm I don’ t think we want the robe over us, do we 7” (You see she had on a nice new dreoa and a pair of new gaiters, and she wanted to show them.) “ Oh, m y,” said Bill, earnestly; “ you’ll find it chilly riding, and I wouldn’ t have you catch cold for the world.” She seemed pleased at this tender care for her, and contented herself with stick ing one of her little feet ou«. with a long silk necktie over the end of it. “ What is that, Mr. Smiley, a necktie 7” “ Yes,” said he, “ I bought it the other day, and must have left it in the buggy. Never mind it.” “ But,” said she, “ it was careless;” and stooping over she picked it up and mad» a motiou to stuff it in between them. Bill felt her hand going down, artd making a dive alter it, clutched it In his and held hard and fast. Then they went on quite a distance, h» still holding her hand in his and wonder ing what he should d& when they got,-to Green’s; and she wondered why l>.a did not say something nice to her as well as squeeze her hand, why his coat was but toned up so tightly on such • warm even ing, and what made his hai, and face so dirty, until they were going down a little hill and one of the traces came unhitched and they had to stop. “ Oh, murder! exclaimed Bill, “ what n tj “ What’s the matter, Mr. Smiley 7” said the widow, with a start which came near jerking the robe off from his knees. “ One of the Maces is off,” answered Bill. “ Well, why don’ t you get out and put R on ?” “ I can’t,” said Bill; “ I’ ve got—that Is, I haven’t got—oh, dear, I’m so sick t What shall I do 7” "W hy, W illie,” said she tenderly, “ what is the matter 7 do tell me.” She gave his hand a little sflueeze, and look ed into his pale face; she thought he was going to faint, so she got out her smelling bottle with her left hand, and pulling the stopper out with her teeth, she stuck it to. his nose. Bill was just taking in breath for a mighty sigh, and the pungent odor mado throw back his Read so far that he lost his balance and went over the low-back bug gy. The little woman gave a low scream as his bare feet flew past her head; and covering her face with her bands gave way to tears or smiles—it is hard to tell which. Bill was right side-up in a few moments, and leaning over tne back of the seat, humbly apologizing and explai- ning,when Ed, Wilhur and his wife and baby drove up behind and stopped. Poor Bill felt that he would rather have been shot than had Ed. Wilbur catch him in such a scrape, but there was no help for him now, so he called Ed, to him and whispered rn his ear. Ed. was like to burst with suppressed laughter, but he beckoned to his wife to draw up, aud,after saying something to her, he helped the widow out of Bill’s bug gy and into his, and the two women went on, leaving the women behind. Bill lost no time in arranging his toilet as well as he could; and then with great persuasion, Ed-got him to go home with him, hunt ing up slippers and socks and getting him washed and combed, had him quito pre sentable when the ladieR arrived. I need not tell you how the story was wormed out of bashful Bill, and they a^l laughed as they sat around the tahl» that night, but will conclude by saying that* they went to the show together and BHV has no fear of Gus Sockrider now. This is the story about Bill and the wid-. ow, just as I had it from Ed. Wilbur, and, if there is anything unsatisfactory about it, ask him. “ W ife,’ ’ said Ed.
