BARWELL-:. ...n.
I used to have several customers ill
Bilverado. It is only a pleasant ride out
"from here in the beautiful summer
morning, long before the snn begins to
peep above the Sierras and when the
dawn is just beginning to break bright
and fair, as dawn never does show any-,
where except in this semitropical clime.
The road to Silverado is bordered on
both sides with long rows of pepper
trees. Now, other fellows may have a
different taste iu trees, but for me there
never was anything in trees so pretty as
row of peppers, with branches looking
down like the eyes of a modest girl when
sho sees her lover coming along the road,
and the tint glint of day creeping
through them and making little gold
paths ill them till you don't know
whether the tree itself is green or yel
low, and the morning breezes blowing
through them till they ripple and shine
all over as if they were laughing.
There never wau anything else so like
a pretty woman with a smile on her face
as those pepper trees in the morning
with the wind blowing over them that
kind of a smiie that creeps oyer the face
in a soft, lazy way and laughs in the
eyes and hides away in the waves of hair.
I used to think that the pepper trees
were what made me like to drive my
milk wagon out to Silverado. But that
was before I had seen the little maid at
Barwell's.
Barwell's was a boarding house. Bil
verado was a kind of health resort, and
people used to come from the east and
go out there winters and board at Bar
well's. Maybe it did their health good,
but 1 don't think Barwell's ever im
proved the health of the little maid very
much. If it did, she must have been a
light to behold before she came.
The first time I saw her she came out
with the milk can. Usually it stood on
the stoop waiting to be filled, and 1
would pour in the milk and leave it
standing there for the first servant who
was up to come out and get it. But this
time it seemed to have been forgotten,
and the little maid had crept out in the
early dawn to bring it and stood shiver
ing in the morning chill, for the dawn of
a semitropic morning near the sea is not
warm, however the mind may tend to
romance concerning its balminese. And
the was such a very little maid I could
scarcely see her on the other side of the
milk can and thought at first that the
can had just taken a notion to walk out
alone and get itself filled,
"Hello!" I aaid.
"Yes," she replied, quite as a matter
of coarse. And then I saw what a very
thin and white little maid it was.
"Where did you come from?'
"If you please, I'm Mrs, Barwell's girl
I work for my keep."
Now, I did not please in the least. 1
should have preferred, if she must be
anybody's girl, that it should be any one
else in the world whom I had ever seen.
And as for the "keep," if there is any
proof in looks, it must have been very
..small..
I chanced to lance a big orange in my
kwagou that some one on my drive, who
had an orange oxeburu, had given me. t
threw it to her when 1 had tilled the can.
She caught iteagrly,and when I looked
back as I drove an d saw her going up
the walk with tlie-orange pressed tip
olose to her month. After that I never
forgot to have an orange, or a nectarine,
or some apricots in my wagon when i
stepped at Barwolli. Sometimes the
milk can would be on the stoop, and I
would not see the little maid for several
days, but when I did see her again I
would give her all the good things that
had accumulated in any wagon since the
last time 1 saw her. And good tilings
had a way of accumulating very rapidly
at that time.
Once when Mrs. Barsvell happened to
be up early to get a picnic party success
fully, off her hands I saw her seize the
littleimaidand drag her into the kitchen,
Aud i thought she struck her just as the
door was closing. 1 grew hot all ovei
and thought savagely that if Mrs. Bar
well had been a man I should have called
her out. As it was, I had a fancy that it
would do me good to get out and assault
Mrs. Barwell's kitchen door and fling
my opinion at her gratuitously and forci
bly. But neither course seemed quite feas
ible. I picked np my whip, furiously and
looked around for something to lay it
nto. As J could see nothing available
for that purpose but my patient, good
tempered horse, who never gave me the
slightest excuse for savagery, I put it
down again with a resolution to niak;
things more ven some day, though it
never entered uiy ridiculous head in whit
particular way 1 could accomplish the
leveling process. But the little maid got
a whole apronfui of the nicest peaches
and nectarines and pomegranates in th:
market the next morning when I stopped
to deliver the milk.
So time went by until the little maid
had grown into a slip of a girl and would
have been a pretty one, too, if she had not
been so thin and white as to the cheeks
and staring as to the eyes. She had
beautiful eyes, but they in company with
her other features had grown so starved
that it made anybody hungry only to
look at them.
About the time that I began to notice
these little things about her eyes and
features generally, I thought she began
to be a little shy. The milk can always
stood in its place on the stoop, and 1 had
uothrng to do but ponr in the milk ant)
drive off. which you might say was n
nrcch more convenient way.
But as day after day and week after
weeli passed and I did not see her it did
not seem so very comfortable after till.
I wondered if she were ill or bod gon
away. 1 remembered bow she used to
look as she stood in the fuiut. light of
the morning, holding the big can in her
arms. I wondered if Uc-r eyea were still
so big and wan and hungry and half
frightened looking. 1 wondered if her
face was so pallid and pinched, and if
eho still shivered so in the morning wind
that came up chill front the sea.
By that time quite a largo pile of good
I'jings had gathered in my wagon, for 1
could not bear to throw them away and
thought every morning that maybe the
little maid would come out. I thought
once of piling them up around the milk
can and leaving them for her to hud,
but was afraid some one else might
come and find them first.
Bo it went on till one morning just as
I had filled the can and was going down
the path the kitchen door was thrown
open with a bang, and the little maid
rushed out, Mrs. Barwell hard after her
with some heavy thing in her hand,
lifted up high to throw at the girl.
Quick as a flash I caught the little maid
in my arms, and put her into my cart,
and jumped in after her, and drove off
faster than I overdrove before in my
life, Mrs. Barwell running after us
down the street. But she soon gave np
the chase.
Down the lane we dashed, under the
low hanging branches of the pepper
trees, that touched me softly in the face
as we passed. Tho breeze blew softly
over us, laden with the fragrance that
drifted from the rose trees that bloom
perennially in the dooryards along the
way.
Presently the little maid looked up at
me with a face so rosy that I should not
have known her had I met her anywhere
else. There was a look, half frightened,
half confiding, in her eyes, and as I met
that look I knew all of a sudden why it
was that I had missed her so, and why 1
had wondered so much about her eyes
and her face.
I bent over her and shouted; "Will
you marry me?" for the horse was gal
loping, and the wheels were crunching,
and the cans were rattling, and if I had
whispered the question as men in stories
and poetry do she would never have
heard me. And when she- slipped her
hand into mine and looked at me with
the fear gone out of her wide eyes an
only the confidence left I thought it jn
as well as If I had done it according
all the rules of propriety.
There was a chum of mine lived alon
the way that had just been made a ju
tie of the peace, and I wh.: ped up -o
the gate and lifted the little maul out
and almost carried her into the house,
"How long will it take you to marry
ns, if you go at top speed?" I asked my
astonished friend, He did not answer
me, but went to work in his liveliest
style, and by the time Mrs. Barwell rat
tled up in her old chaise the little mold
had passed away from her care forever,
