A Conscript’s Chrstmas BY JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS /rom The Centurv: I As the soldiers approached a dog harked, and then the singing ceased and the figure of a girl appeared in the doorway, only to disappear like a flash. This vision, vanishing with incredible swiftness, was suc ceeded by a more substancial one in the shape of a motherly looking woman, who sfoo<l gazing over her spectacles at the horseman, appar ently umleeided whether to frown or to smile. The smile would have undoubtedly forced its way to the pleasant face in any «■vent, for the years had fashioned n any a path way for it, but jnst then Unde Billy Powers himself pushed the woman aside and made hiis appt ar- ance. laughing. “'Light, Loys, ’light!’’ he ex claimed walking nimbly to the gate. “’Light whil- h I off wi’your erectur’s gear. Ah!” he went on, as he busied* himself unsaddling the horse s, "you though; that whili- your Uncle Billy’ was a-moonin’ aroun’down the hill yander you’d steal a intlreh on your Aunt t'rissy. an’ maybe come a-conscriptin’ of her into the army. But not so— not so! \ our I ne'e Bully has been lit re long enough to gi t his hands an’ his face rested.” as graceful, never pestered herself about formalities. Initocense is not infrequently a very delightful form of boldness. It was so in the case of Polly powers, at any rate. Th«; two rough soldiers, unused to the society of women, were far more awkward and constrained than the young woman, but they enjoy ed the Lig fir«; and the comfortable supper none the less on that ac count. When, to employ Mrs. Powers’s vernacular, “the things were put away,” they brought forth their pipes; ami they felt so con- tented that Captian Moseley re- proved himself by suggesting that it might be well for them to proceed on their journey up the mountain. But their hosts refused to listen to such a proposal “Not so,” exclaimed Uncle. Billy; “by no means. Why, it you knew this hill like we all, you’d hoot at the bar’ idee of gwine further after nightfall. Besides,” the old man went on, looking keenly at his dauglm r, “ten to one you won’t find Spurlock.” 1 wr 3 7 *r»nb« rnn Haater’s hTagazic L US T 5_A T R D H ouses branded P '"A ' Right Either •N > IIJAJSTRATED. ur ir XfW line* nfwork. ■f ir '¿* u- • (-7 •f Parure_ Hurnev county.
