"Well, if you'll let me try, I'll mako cup of tea. " Jem closed tho door, set his gun in a corner and looked around for tho place vvhicb the widow kept her store.

A huge fireplace yawned at one side of the room, bung with a black iron crane from which was suspeuded a tea kettle. The woodpile waa outside, near the back door, and brushing off the snow Jem soon had some dry wood, with which he mudu a roaring bluze. It wua not long beforo he had tho satisfaction of seeing tho kettlo tend forth a volume of steam, and a few minute later he tap ped again at the bedroom door with a tray, on it a tempting cup of tea and two well buttered ilices of breud. Wrapped iu it shuwl of Cuntou silk, tho heirloom of" a grundniother whoso father once failed from Salem to the Indies, the widow luuk back into her comfortable armchair with a deep sigh of content. She closed her eyes from sheer weakness., while Join tiptoed about tho room, "setting things to rights" mid preparing tho table for a prospective meul. To be sure there was very little iu sight, but ho hud faith that there might bo something iu tho cellar and iu the cupboards, for tbe widow was known iu tho township to I have been a "good pcrvidcr in her days of afllnence.

"I could fix thing up," he went on eager ly, "and make the chicken lay egg and tbe cow give milk and and" Jem atopped, but the widow's respect ful attention led him on. "I could earn my toard In laving thing that' goiu to waate. When I come through your wood lot thi morn in, I noticed cord au cord of dead tree that ought to be cut au made firewood of. An a for limber, there' more'n 100 wuth there thut'll be irpiled if it ain't cut an Bold pretty oou. " The boy heaituted, amazed at hi on I ducity. but the w idow nodded her head n"I, d I'proval. "That . true. Jem. The furin i running down for the luck of tome cue to ovi race out of door. bo, then, it ia a bargain." And to thia itruuge partnership be gan. The first winter Jem speut in thinning out the superfluous wood in tho neglected lots, stacking op behind the bouse enough fuel to satisfy even the craving of that yawning fireplace for yeara to come and selling to the sawmill on the pond timber for ship ment thut came to quite f 500. Aa the spring opened he wa soon afield, continuing the good work of im provement, and "planting time" found the furm w ah more aud earlier labor performed than it had ever before ex perienced. Iu front of tbe western door he threw out a platform, protected by a lattice work covering, aud here tho widow passed all the sj are time she could luatch from her indoor duties. It had uever occurred to any one before that farm woik might be made attract ive. Tbe widow bud only hxkcd upon the beauties of her furm around her through the kitchen w indow or during a hasty trip to the w ell ir fiirmyard. The latticed porch wus a n velulitu to her, aud a haven i f rt st w hi re i-he tat and mused during the long twilight of summer. "I never thought I should tuke such comfort here, " she said. "Before you CuU10 I was H'"re than w illaig to give up the furm aud go away. But now, Jem, I want to live btre tho rest of my life, I would not leave it for the world. " "Thut's so, uia'um. It would have beeu a great mittuke to leave the old plnce.. Why, there ain't a prettier view iu all the world than this from yonr front door. If there is, then it i right there, down in the woods, where the great tree meet overhead, the brook sing a soft song of rest and the fern covered banks stretch down to the pond. I never truvelcd any yet, but I don't want to. This mils me." And he re turned to his work with a cheery whis tie thut sent a thrill of satisfaction through tbe widow's heart. A wouderful change had been effected by the time another year had rolled an other lhauksgiving into tbe calendar. The roof of tho old house no longer leaked. The barn had been raised from it attitude of deep dejection, aud ita mows were crowded to bursting with hay and graiu. The old horse spent hi duys chiefly in tho pasture, while a younger and more vigorous animal did the work, assisted by a yoke of big and handsome oxen. The solitary cow now hud plenty of conipuuy, aud frisky calves gamboled about her in the summer time. There was no longer any doubt as to the availability of any of the fat gob blers for a Thanksgiving dinner. Thus the seasons succeeded one an other with their measure of content. Each found the widow more and more dependent upon her stalwart helper, bhe clung to him as she might have clung to the son of whom she had been deprived iu the springtime of her wife hood. Aa her tottering footsteps were supported down the aisle of the village church on u Sunday few of the congre gation knew thut the handsome young man who w atched over her so assidu ously was not in fact her own son. Those who wcro cognizant of the rela tions between the tw o shook their heads knowingly, saying to themselves and to each other: "Lucky boy that I Step ped right into the furm just as tho old lady wus about to have it He knows the side of bis breud that bus the butter on it." But it is doubtful if Jem had ever given thut a thought; so happy and: nlation, not even to the widow, lint her tyea, though growing dim, were acute enough to' penetrate hi honeat aoul Hi whole life lay centered in the farm, which bad become a i-aaciitjal to it al moat a the air he breathed, iiut now there muat be young life there. A pair of brown eye pcraiated in dancing be fore hi face, in wood pile, in Held, in I garden. And bo it came to paaa that there wa 1 a wedding next Tbankagivimr in tbe little cottage, now pretty with Tine and cheery within. Kuaie waa glad of o pleaaant a place for the trotb which the wa to plight with Jem, while be, lucky fellow though be wa, could not take time to travel to Kuaie' borne, far way over the rough, hilly road. "A wife' a good thing," be remarked to the widow tbe evening before hi mar riage, "but theie'a cow to be looked after and hen to be fed more'n yon could 'tend to alone," "That' o, Jem, "laid the widow, imiling brightly, "and thank to yon for it all." Under branche of autumn leave country wedding (upper. When the laat gueat had gone, driven away in the farm wagon that had clut tered around the door all afternoon, the widow turned to Jem and Kuaie, titling baahfully in the firelight. "You're my children, now, both of you, " ahe aaid. "Call me mother juat once, Jem and Kuioe." ".Mother!" cried Jem, taking tbe feeble hand together and kiEaiug them tenderly. "My darling mother, dearest friend I ever had!" Khe returned hi loving glacre linger ingly, gratefully, n they led her to tbe door of her room. Next morning Jem knocked again at the Widow Wilaou'i door juat a he had done on that lonely Ihaukrgiving day four years ego. This time not even a feeble voice answ ered hit repeated call. Three day later, a the neighbor struggled back from the little omttery on tbe hill, Kquire Lotbrop drew Jem apart. I s'pose you know the widdcr' left j the farm to you? No? Khol It' mighty !
