Fan w;d, it 'ptared not to.nig nify much to Fan, eo long aa Charley looked . happy.

Et Warn't in natur thet this would last. Charlcytvas lazy aa ull time, as I said. Ant was right when tho said lluaut'gl It law M .wwty.twws Waail a' could leave It, how that woman did work! She never said nothin', but we all knew she was tot on arnin her livin' 'n EiUe's. Sho went out wasliin' 'n cldanin' paint, 'n doin' ov'rything thet sho coull hiro out to do. Sho worked m the iiclda, sho picked berries,' an' 1'vo mot her many a .time luggin' homo dead wood from Mullett's tim!xr, far he told her Charley might have all he could pick up there. Sich was tho pity of fo'kj fur her they oilers was glad to do her a favot, 'Jlemlxir onco hclin' her hum with a sizabla log, but I met Ant 'fore wo got to tlio farm on' she give mo a cut 'bout hangin' 'round urter married women.

She didn't go to bed, as jnett ailin' women do, tut tried to help a li'.tlo bore and there, though coiu-so it didn't 'mount 'to much. . Eut it sorter sarved to ex;e htr mind, BIntlia went on an' she didn't grow no better. " ! I called in there one day on an arrant for neighbor Ilullott. l.own I did it moro to git 111 an otlgoway3 word ' com- fort to Fan, if possible. Course I 'specied ""noihih' but tant3 from them. Fan wa3 layin' on tho lounge an' Ant was but terin' ''bout some cookin' on tho stovo porridgo fur Fan, I guess, fur 'forn I could tell my arrant she blurted out some thin' 'bout 'hovin to slave fur low lived critters. Fan 'looked like death. " 'Spoao ye mean Charley," bps I, "he U 'bout as low lived as any one I know, ruiinin' liiu wife, bdy n' Boul. " I felt that nothin' coald make things wussn they was, an p'raps the truth might wako a spark o' human natur in 'em, Itnew Charley was listoniu' in the nest room. 'Lord!" cried the old woman, "air eny ' ye neighbors hankerin' alter the wife he's got, or, ruther, who got hiiii? Ye're welcome to her, 'n the sooner yo pack her oil the better!" "Yc," drawled Charley from the nex' room, though ho didn't durst to show his shame-faced counl'nance to mo, "I'vo - come to jost tliat conclusion myself Jl "Whatl" cried fun, starif up an turniu' red all over, "do yo say thot Charles?" - "I do!" ''She looked at me so beseechin' I axed: "Can I help ye?" . "Let me hear him say it jest oaoe agin fust!" Sine couuin t iiave praj-eu liim, on her knees, to oueay it, more rurtly than bhe did then, by thatreinblin' of her voice. It mad? me cbake from l;ead to fut. I pitied her so in my heart I hoped that Charley, utcaa n3 he treated her, would unsay hi words. Eut ho didn't. . - 'I'll say t a dszrn times cf thct '11 con vince ye, 'sez the brute. Fan riz up. "Whoro can I go?" scz she, sorter dazed Like. "I know a pkfCc, " scz I. "Eut I her to see the fam'Uy furt. Got yor things togetlier, 'n ye'll be called f ur.thij arter noon. Cheer up; I promise you 'n EHie'lI be looked arter 'a a way to comfort." . Ant gie a scornful suiil, but I 'pcarcd not to notice it. Fun wentlowly on as if to da my biddin . ' I did my arrant 's though nothin' 'd liannp-nin Charley. All to no good. IIo fan'ly tuk to his bed. Ant tussed over him night 'n day. She'd no time now fur argy ments. You'd a thought thero's nothin i l the hull world but thet there sick man. Sho never looked at tho papers. No Eir-ce. Sho hadn't tho 'nponiiilility of rnilin' at tho wrongs In tho world now. Did ye ever notice them kind o' folks? Let a litllo adversity come, an' whoop! tho world may go to decslruclion fur all they mind. An' afore ye'd s'KWcd nothin! straighten, things 'cop' their waggin' tongues. Charley didn't get no, belter. One day Ant, in goin' down cellar f vr somo tkin' fur him, fell on tlio stairs, and when she como to found herself on the bottom an' her log broke. "f was hours 'f;yre uhy one ootno to tho house an' both she- an' Cliurlcy was mighty sick arterwards. Folks ropol Fan should be Rent for, but Ar.t wouldn't hear of it. One lielp arter 'uother was hired an' the Ant began to pick up a leetle. Charley was growin' wniis. Tho help all turned out misrr'blo. At least Ant was forced to consioiit that Fun should be arsked to com, l'rob'ly Charley'd been willin' long before ef it he lu't been fur his mother.
