Alicia Sayles was troubled.
What
troubled her was her owu secret and
was not suspected by any one. In ­
deed, it was not suspected at all that
she was troubled.
W hy should she
be? fcjlie owned the finest farm In the
county, was a college graduate and
comely. Tru e she was an orphan, but
as fa r back aa she could rcmembei
ahe had always been an orphau. Het
home was w ith an uncle and an aunt.
W hat troubled her was thia: She had
nearly pass<*d w liat might be cousld

-a h a was twenty-seven—and was not
married. Had It not been for her prop­
erty she might hare been married long
ago. None of the young men of het
acquaintance dared to aspire to the
hand of the heiress, especially an heir­
ess who was a college graduate. Nev
srtbeleas Alicia was a country girl and
desired to remain a country girl. I f she
married ahe would m arry a farmer.
On her return from college she did
not think of marriage. She had re
sources w ithin herself which were
greatly broadened by her education
For a time ahe read books on the line*
marked put for her In college and was
satisfied
But one morning ahe awoke
to the fact that she was d rifting lntc
perpetual splnsterhood. The prospect
did not please her. In her childhood
and youth ahe had been deprived ol
that affection which exists In families
and was averse to passing the latter
h alf of her life without husband and
children. She thought o ts r the bach
elora o f her acquaintance and after
some deliberation settled on Silas
Blakely, a young farm er w ith little
on his farm except a mortgage. On
him ahe resolved to bestow her bant).
She did not know that Blakely would
care to m arry her, though she rather
thought he would.
But, considering
she was well to do and he was poor,
she knew he would not have the assur­
ance to propose to her.
She must
propose to him. H ow should she pro­
pose?

she gathered a bouquet and said to It,
“I take you beautiful flowers, w ith
your pink and blue and crimson and
w hite complexions, to 1» my wedded
husband ” Then, calling to her aunt,
ahe told her to take them to the well
and throw them In as soon aa Blakely
came opposite, making sure he saw

“T hey are my husband,“ said Alicia
Cram the porch. " I ’m a widow.“
"W hat do you mean by that?"
" H a v e you ever heard of the proverb
“Oo to the ant, thou sluggard; coo-
alder her ways and be w is e r
"Yes.”
' *
“W ell, If you wish to know the
meaning of my being married to the
flowers, go to your books, and If you
hunt patiently you w ill find out.“
W ith thia ahe went Into the bouse.
Blakely hurried on to overtake the
stock which had passed during the
brief dialogue, but he knew not of
horses or cow i; the strange episode
had got Into his bssd. and he was
filled w ith wonder as to w hat It meant
W h ile Alicia had been telling him that

Inclination to bunt through them for
any Interpretation of such an Inane
proceeding. One of his schoolmates,
however, had gone to college and had
become a professor. To him Blakely
wrote an account o f the episode, ask­
ing for an Interpretation.
Alicia possibly wished to test Silas’
common sense. To hunt for the expla­
nation hlmeelf would have been like
looking for a needle In a haystack and
while doing so h it farm would have
been sold out under the hammer.
I t was a long while before be re­

eyes and bis heart started up at a gait
of a hundred beat* to the minute. The
same evening, getting off hts farm

very w ell, he went to call on Alicia.
“I have come,” he said, “to offer all
I have—th a t la, my farm w ith a mort­
gage on It for the flower widow.”
“ And bow,” ahe asked, blushing and
smiling, “did you learn w hat Is meant
by a flower widow?"
Blakely told her of his application and
showed her the reply, which was as
follows:
