at tbe verj idea; "we ain't afraid to stay

Are we Lind j?"
"I guesa not," said the black-eyed
Linda oheerfully, washing her hands as
a preliminary to putting the bread in
tne pan.
"Frank says when John wrote to him
to come and stay over a day in Boston,
xou 11 be afraid, mother, with all Lin

" Well, I don't blame you, ef you feels
ef you could sleep only two women

Miss Haines, with prominent elbows and
emphatically clean calico. "It'ud on'y
"Yes," Mrs. Poysett went on, aocotn
panymg the slicing of apples for pies
with the regular swing of her rocking
cnair, wnue she now and then placed a
particularly thin and inviting pieoe of
tbe fruit in her mouth; "that's what I
thought. Ton 'leven Lindy, when
you go into the other room I wish you
would strike the clock round. It strikes
one too many."
, "Yes m, said brisk Lindy; and then,
try ins: to extricate tne recipe for compo
sition cake from inevitable dreams about
her wedding day, she forgot the clock
and made an incident for this story.
"Your presents air handsome, Lindy;
tuere s no mistake about that,' said tbe
visitor, turning the conversation skill
lully to the quarter toward which the
town interest was just the a tending.
"Yes, answered Lindy, blushing a
little. She had grown used to blushing
of late. "People have been very kind to
me.
"No more n you deserve." said Miss
Haines oracularly and with an emphasis
tnat leit no room for denial. "Folks say
to me: 'John Willey's been pretty stiddy
to go out west ana mage a borne, n tben
come back 'n marry the girl he's been
with ever sence they was child'en.' But
I say to 'em, 'no credit to him. No

disputed, wuiie landa went back to her
coo king-table langbina. and still Grate

In general was far too good to her. It
was a case of the smooth rnnning of
deep waters. She and John "WilleX had
been prosaically faithful to each other
for yars before he asked her promise to
marry him. Eighteen months ago he
nau pone west f eet up in business as a
carriage builder, and now, having pros

wiiuiu two aajs journey oi come ne
nad written to ask rant .Linda s broth
er, to meet bim in Boston for a day's
Bigni-seemg and an evening at the thea
ter. Perhaps you would say that the
meat lovei snouid nave Hastened to bis
lady on the wings of the wind or with all
th power of steam; but Linda thought
differently. .
"It was just like him wasn't it, moth
er?" she said tbat very morning after
Miss Haines had gone, "to think that
Frank would be tbe better for a change.
Pd rather have him go to Boston for a
good time than to see John one day
sooner; And I'm sure nobody could
speak stronger than that; could they,
mother?"
"I d -n't know what I shall do without
you, Lindy," said the mother irrele
vantly, putting down the knife to wipe
away a furtive tear with her apron. "I'm
sure I don't."
Linda was at her side in an instant
with a tear of her own, and the two wo
men kissed, laughed and went on with
their work, as they had done a hundred
times within the last fortnight. For Mrs.
Poysett had the equable temperament
that sometimes accompanies rotundity of
iorm and a double cbin, and Linda, be
sides being sensible, could not keep mis
erable very long at a time. Thus you
perceive that circumstances were render
ing it as easy as possible for them to
weather the gale of the coming separa
tion. Meanwhile everybody in the township
was not rotund and possessed of double
chins; not all the houses were keepers of
new and sinning wedding gifts, and,
strange to say, not everybody was happy.
Pete Haydon, who lived down in'Tau
Lane, was poor and savagely discour
aged. He made shoes ordinarily, but
that winter there were no shoes to be
had. He was a fine and practiced hand;
he could do all sorts of jobs, from clean
ing a watch to building a chimney, but
nobody faw fit to have making or mend
ing done.' There had been only four or
five pieces of work since fall for Tinker
Pete, for none of which ooald he in con
science ask more than fifty cents. His
wife fell sick, the children's clothes were
too shabby for school, and just then some
one tapped him on the arm and tempted
him.
One morning a stranger strolled, into
town and stopped at Pete's little shop to
ask his w.iy. He was traveling to South
field, so ho' said. ;
"Where had he been?"
"Oh, anywhere," airily and jauntily;
"traveling about 'the country. Might
take up with work somewhere, if I found
any worth doing."
"Hard times," said JPete, looking
moodily at the little red stove. "What's
your trade?"
"I've been a sailor," said the man.fill
ing his pipe a process :Pete watched
greedily, for his own tobacco box was
empty. 'Twenty years before the mast.
I should have been a captain before this
but there's jealousies. So I got sick
of it. I call myself a landsman now."
"You don't have the look of a sailor,"
said Pete, his eyes traveling from the
shabby fur cap and the. dark face with
rather narrow, bold, black eyes down
over; tbe shabby suit of brown. '
The man gave a slight start and
glanced at him keenly. "You don't think
bo? Well, I've been on land soaie time
now. Salt water's easy to shake off.
What might your name be?" -
"fiayaon Pete Haydoa." i
"And mine's Job whettles. Queer
name, ain't it? Don't believe there's an
other like it in the country. Good day,
mate. If I'm round this way again I'll
look m on you.
And he did.
One day, as Pete was soldering a milk
pail for Mrs. Surge, this time whistling
a little, having work to whistle over, the
man came in without warning of rap or
voice.
"Thought you 's twenty-five miles away
afore this," said Pete plying his iron.
"Take a seat."
"Things don't please me much over
tbat way," said tbe fellow pompously,
again beginning to cut his tobacco, per
haps as a cover to his furtive glances. "I
may stay 'round here for a . spall. Per
haps I'll do a bit of work on somebody's
farm."
"Can't get it;" said Pete, briefly .view
ing his completed work with approval.
"Ain't no farm work to be had just
now." '
"Well, doing chores, I mean light
work. I'm not particular how little I do
for my board," with a ooarse laugh.
"Folks do their own work ronnd here, '
said Pete. "Some of 'em have got
money enough to pay, but they're able
bodied, a3 it happens, and don't want a
hired man round in the winter."
"Seems a pity don't it? that things
can't be equally divided, so that you and
I could have our share," said the
stranger puffing industriously at his
pipe, but not forgetting to watch the
tinker. "I should like to help myself to
somebody's pile; now, shouldn't you?
Honestly enough, of course, man. You
needn't jump. I mean, suppose the
young fellow that owns the big farm
over there Poysett? should say,
'Whettles, take half my bank stock. I
don't need it all?' do you think I should
say 'no'?"
Of course the tinker laughed at the
fanciful notion. He was a sunny tem
pered fellow; it hardly needed a very
bright thing to provoke his mirth.
. Where Whettles stayed at night was a
mystery. Sometimes Pete suspected he
might have slept in a barn, he turned up
so tonseled in the morning; often he
guessed tbat Toppan, the saloonkeeper,
had given him a lodging, from the fumes
that lingered about his shabby person.
He had money at times, for again and
again he treated Pete te a cheering glass
of whisky. Pete was not used to fre
quenting the saloon; ho did not in the
least approve of it; but it happened that
about this time the evil bird of prey
sought bis company more persistently
than did any more respectable person.
And Whettles was a sociable fellow; he
could tell more stories in half an hour
than any six of the honest people knew
taken together. He was, so Pete con
cluded, nobody's enemy but his own. It
would take more time than you are will
ing to give, and a deeper knowledge o
mental intricacies than I possess, to de
tail the process through which Pete was
brought to the point of promising to
creep into tbe Poysett farmhouse and
riflo tbe old desk tbat stood between the
sitting room windows. The grocer s bill
was growing longer, his wife was paler,
and she worried him by entreaties to let
Whettles alone and forsake Toppan s;
the aggregate of such straws is not
small.
Tbe opportunity came.fitting the mood
as exactly a3 if the mood had made it
Frank Poysett was going to Boston to
meet John Willey; the "women folks
would be alone.
"You take Poysett's," said Whettles;
"you know tbe lay of the land there; and
the same night I'll try Turner's, over on
tbe hill. We'll meet somewhere about
1, down there under the big elm. and
divide. After tbat I'll make tracks across
lots and take a train somewhere. No
body '11 think of you.
: Tinker Pete was equally sure of nobody
suspeoting him. He had always been
honest this he thought with a pang
and, being a simple minded sort of a
man, he never calculated the effect in
other people's eyes of having been seen
with Whettles.
! ''But s'spose my courage gives out,"
he said uncertainly. "I don't know.'s I
can do it, alter all. It's easy enough to
get it, but what if somebody shonld see
me? It might end in what's worse."
"Man alive!" said Whettles impatient
ly. "Afraid at your time of life? Well,
here's what I'll do. They go to bed
early, you can have it over by midnight.
Now, IH come back that way, and it
you're there and afraid to stir, I'll go in
and do li myself. But mind, I don t ex
pect you're going to back out. If I have
to do all the work I get all the pay."
"Oh, I mean to do it fast enough,
said Pete, doggedly. "Things can't be
much worse off than they are now."
"And if I ain't there by twelve you 11
knew something has happened and I
can t come, so you 11 nave to go on your
own hook. But be sure you are at the
big tree by 1."
Whettles, like many another skillful
tactician, did not tell his cat's paw all
his plans. He had no intention of doing
what might be done for him. It was only
polite to assure Pete of helping him out
should his courage fail him, for fear,
under too great dread, that he might
break away from the plan altogether.
Whettles, who had as little right to his
name as to many another article he had
possessed at various times, wa3 as truly
an arrant coward as a villian. All of his
ill-deeds, and they were numerous, had
been done, as far as he could manage it,
at the expense of somebody else. If the
robbery at Turner's seemed feasible
without too much danger.he would keep
his word ; if not, there was the excuse of
having been watched and prevented, and
Pete could be coaxed or threatened into
sharing what spoil he had from the Poy
stts'. That nigbt Mrs. Poysett and Linda
had an early tea, and having done the
in-door worft, and sat down for one of
hose quiet talks that was so precious
because they were soon to cease. The
ourney to Illinois was so long, and
mda s beginning a new life suoh a seri
ous matter ,that it seemed the two would
never have done talking over it. Hen
ry, the nearest neighbor's boy, had shut
up the barn long ago, the milk had
been strained, and the pails were washed.
"I've laid out a dozen of them coarse
crash towels for your dishes, Linda,"
said Mrs. Poysatt. "Yes, I know you've
got lots o' new ones, but you can't have
too many o' suoh things. There can't
be any such thing as bein extravagant
about keepin your disbes cleau and
shiny. You grandmother Poysett
used to say she believed I'd like a clean
towel to every oup. Linda, how glad I
am you ain't got to live with your mother-in-law
1"
A husky sigh of relief was here Mrs.
Poysett's tribute to 'the memory of the
woman who had made the first ten years
of her own married life a season of dis
cipline. "To think John and Frank will be
here to-morrow night at 7!" said Linda,
dreamily. "We'll have quince for sup
per, won't we, mother?"
"Yes, and I guess we'd better be abed
'ust as early as we oan g.t there. You
9 fastenin up and I'll wind up the
clock." Mrs. Poysett did that in the
dark, for Linda had taken the lamp into
the kitchen.
"Eightl Well, I declarel" said the
good lady as the clock struck after she
had groped her way up stairs. "And it's
right, too, for Lindy put it round this
morning. Seems to me it took you a
good while," she went on.as Linda came
in with the lamp. "I don't believe but
what you went thro some extra fastenin'
up, now, we're alone,"
"Not a bit, mother," said Linda, with
a smile cut short by a yawn." I stopped
to put the cat out." i
"I always think of what your father
said," mused the old lady. It was after
the Hampstead murder. We never had
our doors fastened in the world till then;
and soon as the news of that come every
body was soared to death, and your
father put a button on the back door.
And the first night he turned it, he laid
awhile a-thinkin' and he says, "If there
is one wooded button between me and
death, I guess I'll trust in the Lord and
not the button.' So he went down stairs
and turned the button back. What a lot
of hair you've got,Lindy, and how quick
you braid it!" j
When, Pete crept up to the house at
10, the women had been soundly asleep
for two hours. He tried the kitchen
window; it bad no fastenings and went
up noiselessly. He stepped in and stood
trembling. The clock in the next room
ticked with appalling loudness. His
knees smote together, but it required as
much courage to flee as to remain. Per
haps for ten minutes perhaps hours,
judging by his own exaggerated reckon
ing he stood in fear; and then, as the
clock ticked on steadily, as if it had no
reference to him, bis conrage crawled
back and his heart beats great fainter.
He crept toward the sitting room door
on his bands and knees. There stood
the old desk, with its high spindle legs,
half of it exaggerated shadow and half
thrown into light by a shaft from the
moon. Probably the key was in tbe
lock. He had seen Frank bring in a fat
roll of bills after selling his oxen, toss
them in there and put down the cover
without turning the key. There had
been no robberies in uelburn, and so
people trusted more in human nature
and less in wood and steel. But the sit
ting room was so light! He never should
dare to go in there; the very thought of
having his shadow tbrown on the wall,
distorted like those of tbe tables and
chairs, gives him another sickening
spasm of fear. What if tbere were onlv
women in the house? He was not a thief
by nature or training. He would orouch
down in a corner and wait for Whettles
to come. He had been there ages, when
the clock with an alarming whir, struck
twelve. He started up with an after
impulse of gratitude that he had not
snrieked. When had the hour struok?
It seemed- incredible that he must have
slept, but it must have been so or, what
was propable, he had been too much
absorbed to hear it. It was time for
Whettles. He crept back to tbe kitchen
window and waited in the cold draft of
air. Minutes passed, eaoh seeming ten.
He began to grow angry. Did the fellow
mean to play him false and not
come at all? As ager arose, his
courage to do the deed ebbed. I do not
believe conscience asserted itself very
strongly. Life was harder than it bad
been even one day before, and there was
no flour in the house now. He was still
bitterly at odds with life, but the after
effects of the whisky Whettles had giyen
him were nervousness and irresolution.
The clock gave warning for another
hour. False, friendly old clock, if he
could have seen your face he would have
known it lacked ten minutes of midnight
then; instead, be believed it would strike
one. Too late for Whettles. Perhaps he
was now at the o'd elm; be would hurry
there and bring him back to do his share
of tbe work. He closed the window be
hind him and hurried off to the rendez
vous. There was no one tbere. At that
moment the relief of having been pre
vented from sin overbalanced every
other feeling. Something must have
happened to Whettles; perhaps he had
been caught: perhaps he would say that
his accomplice "was waiting for him un
der the elm! He started on a swift run
for home, to find bis wife watching for
him in the moonlight.
She was too thankful at finding him
sober to worry at the lateness of his
coming. Being a woman of tact she did
not question, but went to sleep, while
Pete lay till daybreak in a cold bath of
fear, expecting a rap and summons to
jail at every tapping of bough or snap
ping of frost-bitten nail.
Whettles had lingered about Turner s.
a great house over the hill, in the hope
that the guests for there was a party
that night would take their leave. But
no, the house was lighted from cham
bers to parlor, and sleighs came instead
of going away. He walked up and down
tbe orchard, cursing himself to keep
warm. Later and later, and the singing
and dancing shadows on the curtain did
not cease. He would hurry over to
Poysett's and see if the cat's paw had
done his work there. He stole up to the
designated window, as Pete had done.
No one was there. He listened and
whistled softly. The dock struck one.
He had no idea it was so late. Pete must
be waiting for him at the elm. And so he
too, hurried away.
lint tbere was only a mammoth lace
work of shadow undor the elm. Where
was Pete? The master villain, himself
puzzled, reflected a moment. Perhaps
the fellow had the money and was hiding
it at home. Lucky though tl He would
go to the house and call him up, in spite
of disturbing wife and ohildren. Tben
see if he Would refuse to share! He took
the road, and, passing Toppan's saloon,
noticed a dim light in tne barroom. It
was rather unusual that it should be
there so late, but he had known it to
happen before. He had just about money
enough for a dram. He tapped, and
then tried the door; it was unfastened.
and he went in lightly. A man in a great
coat rose from his seat by the stove and
swiftly, dexterously pinioned Mm. Top
pan himself, always on the winning side,
was there to help, and Whettles was ar
rested for his last crime. .
Mts. Poysett and Linda were afoot
early the next morning, putting the
house in holiday trim.
"I declare if taint an hour earlier n I
thought," said Mrs. Poysett as she came
down into the sitting room where the lit
tle air-tight was already doing ardent
best. "Linda, you didn't strike that
clock round yesterday, after all."
"No, mother, I forgot it, laughed
Linda. "I should forget my head now
adays, if 'twasn't on."
"I tell you what it is " said the mother.

"l m just put oi patience with that clock,

A Substitute for Wool.
A resident of this citv.'it is reported.
has come into possession of an interest in
a discovery which, it is said, will de
throne the woolen capitalists. It is a
process by which common yegetable
nbres are converted into a substitute for
wool. For six or "seven years Sidel
Brothers, of Zittau, Saxony, have been
experimenting, and a German chemist,
who was in their employ, came to this
country to sell tbe product. Finding,
bowover, tbat a duty of sixty per cent, is
imposed on the article, he has entered
into negotiations for the production of it
bere from the raw material. This
abounds in the forests and waste lands,
and is found iu inexhaustible quantities.
It may seem remarkable, but is strictly
iu accord witb the provisions of nature,
that where sheep produce the best and
heaviest wool, the material from which
the substitute is procured i3 found of the
best quality. Brooklyn Eagle.
