The deaitm came walking out to (he fence to any: : "Being yoo aerepied that quarter you'll have to keep It." "Oh, It tent about tb quarter. 1 Just'Vanted to tell yon bit of oewa.

She's keeping: It mighty quiet. She wants some one to marry ber for lore Instead of money." Half an hour later the deacon waa bitching np to drtre to, the village Two hours later be waa saying to toe blushing old maid: ' "Sarah, I'm alone and lonely. . I've concluded to take another, wife. Will yon bars met" ' Sarah could bare said "Tea" In second, but 8a rib waa no spring chick en. She also weighed and balanced, things. 8hed aald "Yen" to two differ ent men before, but wtjb no witnesses present, and they bad left bar ail for lorn. 'Therefore abe replied: "Deacon. I respect and- admire yon and belle re yon to be sincere man. Think of this matter on your way horns and tben write me a letter." The deacon Jogged boms and took bis pen In hand and wrote. Be dldnt wait for the mall, but sent his message to the Village by bis hired man. It was straight talk, -and tb written an swer waa "Yea." - Ponr days bad passed when toe ped dler appeared again. ' Deacon Wrenn was out In the woodshed- dyeing bis whiskers. As for hair, be was so near ly bald headed that It wouldn't "pay to fool with. Be suspended operations to bear the peddler any: "Another bit of news for yon. old man.- and yoo mustn't give It away. You've beard of the Wldder .Norman, meblieT "Yea. kinder beard."

Don't breaths hint to put him on to the dough." The deacon promised and finished hla dyehig. As be dyed be thought Ue thought of the difference between $15,000 and $30,000. An early boor In ' the evening found blm at tbe Widow Norman's. They talked crops ' and weather for awhile, aud- tben. -with ber five fatherless children standing around wltb their mouths open, be stated that be bad long .and secretly admired tbe mother and9 desired to make ber bis wife. She wouldn't be lieve It at first, bnt bis assurances linally prevailed, and abe said yes. for an hour afterward tbe children took turns sitting on tbelr to be step father's lap and pulling bin dyed whisk ers, and they called blm "poppy" as tie departed. " ,- It baa been said that Deacon Wrenn weighed and balanced things, and It may surprise the reader that be abonld tangle himself op wltb two engage ments. 'He bad figured It out that be could square things wltb tbe old maid for $1,000 or for double tbat at tbe most Tbla would leave blm- $28,000 clear, t and that was a good enough bargain for any man.
