But it's no use talkin it over, Ernly faced her pap to the last, an me an Barbary cried.c An it ended in Ernly packin tip. her things an goin to one of the neighbors. - An I mnst say I don't believe whatj came aft-1 erward would have happened if Ernly i hadh 't aggervated him the way sh did. 1 "Of course it wasn't any easier on me .; an Barbary after Ernly Was gone, though I do say the hired men 'was awful clever, helpiu us whenever they could, an I says to Barbary one day, 'Don't yon fall in love with any one 0' them boya, fer I can't spare you. ' An she laughed, aji her face turned red. An yon could 'a' npsot me with a feather when she says, cried like: 'I won't, ma. 'Una engaged to Phil Thomas.

' 'Dear me, ' thinks I, 'what will the squire .ray?' You 'see, I never 'd thought, o' Barbary cai-in fer anybody., Alt the yoang fellers in the neighbor-, hood took every chance to be with her, an was comin to the house on'errands, or to see Steve, an hangin round Sun days.! Bat laws ! I never thought o' her carin more fer one than t'other. An I wondered how it would tuni out. Phil was a very nice boy, but his folks wasn 't very well off, an I felt worried. An so time went cn. 1 Harvest , was over, an Enily married, an her man, we heard, hed rented a farm in tho neiglib'orhood, when: one day Barbary an me bein busy in the kitchen the squire come in, seem in inia mighty good bunicr, an he says: 'I tell you. mother' he called me that nearly allay s-i-' I've had a streak o' luck. ; I got a big price fer Selira an beTs Selim was the'name Steve, BT ! i TIM 3 for infants and Children.
