The garden must be uttemled to and the lawns mowed. I'll offer as high as $2 per day unt 11 we can find a steady man by the month." The Widow Deering and her daugh ter Jessie occupied the manor house on what was known as Deering bill, and the son. Fred, always took a run out on Saturdays and remained until Monday. There was an acre of ground around the house, and a man of all work was necessary. Fred had been sent west on business, turned about, and stopped beside him. "Are you looking for work, my good man?" she asked. The young man turned toward her. He removed his cap and the cigar he was smoking liefore replying. "If It Is anything 1 can do, madam," he said. "You can hoe and weed the garden?" "I think so." I "And run a lawn mower?" I "Yes." 1 "And there may be other little odd Jobs about the place. I have Just dls ' charged our man for Intoxication and '. laziness. I want some one to take his ' place until my brother Fred gets home. ! What wages do you ask?" ' "Y'ou may name the figure," be re-; plied. I "Will $2 per day be enough?" I "I will do my best to earn that amount." "Are you ready to go now?" I The man could not drive back with her. but would follow within a couple . of hours. Oh. yes, she could depend upon him. He had been out of work : a long time and was pleased to get a Job. Miss Jessie was satisfied. She had caught a queer twinkle in his eyes I . two or three times, but in her gratifi cation at having hired a man with so little delay she forgot the twinkles. j "I told von I could, and I have," she j ; announced as she rushed Into the house I on her return. j "You mean you have hired a man?" ' queried the mother. i "Of course. ne'U be here within two : hours. ' I must now go out and tell , Wbire to go." i 'T.e gentle with him." White was sober enough to under stand that he must go. j Meanwhile the newly hired man had j been making ready to follow his era ', ployer. He had made a number of Inquiries of the village innkeeper, over' hauled his trunk and made up a bun die of clothing, but he had not shaved. He arrived at the manor Just In time to face an emergency. The discharged roan was at the kitchen door demand tug a month's t j:iy and telling what he would do if it was not forth coining. I'.ailey bad the remedy at bis finger tips. He placed his bundle on a bench and advauced upon Mr. White, picked him up and carried hiiu to the roadside fence and threw him over. As he re turned to his bundle Miss Jessie smiled at him. The newly hired man was given a room over the kitchen. He and the ad miring cook ate dinner at the kitchen table. She wanted to know all about him. Bailey didn't say he had tramp ed It but she inferred as much; he didn't F,ay he bad resolved to reform. bus gi't S'jo i tsi!ved up anil Is the nv.ii er of a loving heartT' Bailev weeded out the cucumbers anil lettuce and tomatoes and carried j j In coal for the cook. As he had lieen I k hind by the day he looked for the i jgj "buss" to replace him after four or j five days, but she was only too anxious j K to have him stay tu. m. Ten days had passed, and not a word j ft had Iteeu said on either side, when i Fred Peering suddenly made his ap pearance, it was mldafteruoon, and j Bailey was hoeing the young sweet I corn. No one saw him go, but as sotin as he caught sijilit of young Deer- j Ing he vanished and was hunted for In vain. j "He's stolen the family silver and j absquandered, and that's just what I always thought he'd do!" announced the cook. But the family plate and all other things were found to be safe. Tin, urn." replied Fred when his sister had told hiiu how she came to hire the man and gave a description of his looks. "He's no Joker, but know ing me and having seen you once I'm, urn. Yes; he Bald he was coming over on the marshes duck shoot-ing"- "Fred Peering, what on earth nre you talking about?" demanded Miss Jessie, but he only laughed and then drove to the village In the cart. His mission was a success, and lie laughed louder than before. "Say." be said to a guest of the Inn who had just been shaved and fitted Into a fashionable suit of clothes, "mv sister thinks she's just the sharp est girl in the state, and this will take her down three or four pegs. Bailey, ; eh! And they made you eat in the; kltcheu with the cook! And you weeded and hoed and mowed and never cracked a smile? Say, It was great!" And when the cart reached home and the two gentlemen walked up on the veranda where the ladies were sit ting Fred uttered a giggle and Intro duced his friend Cllve Bennet. It didn't take Miss Jessie more than a minute to discover "Bailey" In "Ben net's" clothes. She was hurt and hu miliated aud indignant, just as her brother said she would lie. "Sis, you really deserve credit," her brother said three mouths later. "You picked out the best hired mau we ever had, and now you've picked out the best brother-in-law I could have asked for.
