BILL AND TIIE WIDOW,
-.-, vy
"Wife," said Ed. Wilbur
one
morning, as he sat, stirring, his coffee
with one nauu su uuiuiugv a piura
cake on his knee with the other, and
looked across ' the table' into the
iiritrht eyes of his little wife.wouldn't
it be a good joke to ;get bachelor
Bill brnitey 10 iase wiaow waison to
J3arnum s show next week t"
"Ypa can't do it, Ed. ; he won't
ask her, he's so awful shy. Why, he
came by here the other morning when
I was hanging out the clothes, and
he looked over the fence 3 and spoke,
' but when 1 shook ont., a. night gown,
he blushed likekk girl and went away,
i "I think 1 can manage it," said
Ed. ; "bat I'll lav61ieust onjttl
But then it wouldn't be much barm"
tinder the circumstances, for I know
6he likes him, and he don't dislike her,;
but just as you say, He's so shy. I'll
just go over to his place to borrow
some bags of him, and if I don't bag
him before I come back don't kiss me
for a; week Nelly.'?,.;., !
So saying, Ed. started, and while
he is nowing the field, we will take a
look at Bill Smiley.y Hells; jather Ta
vood looking fellow, though his hair
and whiskers showed some gray hairs,
and be had got in a set of false teeth.
But every one i saia ne was a good
soul, and sohe was. -He had as good
a hundred acre farm as any? in Nor
wich, with a gobd hdns0 and !every
thins: com f ortable, and if he wan ted a
wifemany a girl would have jumped
at the chance like, -a rooster on a
urassbopper. JiotBill was so bash
fulalways waihdwhen Susan
Berrybottle, whom- befwas so sweet
on, though .he! never said "boo" to
lier, got married to old :j Watsdn, . he
just drew in his head like a mud turtle"
into bis shell, and there as no get
ting him out again, though it had
been noticed since Susan had become
a widow he had paid; more attention
to his clothes," and r had be0u very
regular in his attendance atvthe chofeh
the fair widow attended.' P 5 '" s
But here comes J2d ..Wilbur.
''Good morning, Mr. Smiley." "
"Good morning, Mr. Wilbur; what
h the news your way ?" f : . T ':. '
"9h, nothing particular that I know
nf," said Ed, "only - Barnuin's ' show
that everybody i is talking about and
cvervbody and his "girl are going to.
I was over to old Stockrider's last
night, and I see his son Gus has got
a new buggy, and was scrubbing-up
his harness, and he's, got that' white"
face colt of his slick as a r seal. ' I un-.
lei stand he thinks of taking Widow
Watson to the show. He's been hang
ing around there a gqoddeal of late,,
but I'd just like to cut him but, I
would. Susan is a nice little woman,
anl deserves a better man than that
young pup of a fellow, though I would
not blame her much either if she takes
him, for she must be dreadful lone
some, and then she has to let her farm
ut on shares, and it lRu't half Worked,'
:i!iilno one else seems tov. have .the
jiuuk to speak up to her. ' I?y jingol
if lwere a single man I'd show you a
trick ur two. r .- . ' " ' '
S. saying. Ed.' borrowed some bags
ami darted around the corner of the
him, where he had Ielt Bill sweep
i nir, ami put hit ear to a knothole and.
.listened, knowing the bachelor had a"
haliit of talking to himself whtn.any-;
thing worried him. - ;
"Uonfou nd that young Stockrider!'''
said Bill, "what business hasbe there
I'd like to know? Got a new buggy,
has he? Well, so have I, and a new
harness, to; and his horse cjan't get
in sight of mine and,' t jieclare, I've
naif a mind 'to yes, I will! I'll go
this very night and ask jjer.1,a gQ
t ihesHow With ine! I'll show Ed.
Wilbur that I ain't such a calf as be
thinks I am, if . I did- let old Watson
i e m act of, me hi. the, first place !"
E ). conld pcaree nfrelp - laughing
iiiright, but he. hastily, hitched the
lags on his fhoulderfandwitha low
i'iiekle at his . success, started home
tell the news to Kelly; and about
live o'clock that evening lhey saw
Bill iro by with his buggy on his way

quietly, thmkmg ef tlipj ojd gmgmg

Susan was then, and "wondering ih(
wardly if he would -have more cour-;

a distance of about & mile, from her"

large creek and it so. happened that 1
j UHt as he reached- the middTeHhef

After a while his plug hat shook

he saw the widow's house on the hill:

leaped, took his place upon the seat;

Luat no. unnecessary time was lost!
nor had Bill any to. spare when the
oss'uug . uruie;.,wDo couia not
sooner be induced even to slacken his
pace; stopped conveniently in front
oi tne house. As Bill did not offer
to get out, the widow obligingly went
to; see what he wanted, and there she
stood chatting with her white arms
job the top of the gate, and Iber face
righty toward him, - while the cold
cniiis ran' down bis shirtless back
clear to his bare feet beneath the
buffalo robe, and the water from his
hair and the dost ' from his hat had
combined to make some- nice little
streams of mud that came trickling
down his face. 4 ! . ?
She"asked him to come in. u No, he
was in a hurry, he said. Still he did
notoffer to'go. He did not like her
to ask. her' to pick-up his reins for
him because he did not know what
excuse to make for not doing it him
self fThea he looked down the road
behind him and saw a white-faced
horse coming, jand at' once surmised it
was that of GusrSibckridge. He re
solved to do or die, and hurriedly

No, he was in $ hurry, he said ; had to
go on to Mr. Green's place.
" Oh," said the widowv " you're
going to Green's,? areryou ? Why, I
was" just going there myself to "get
one of the girls to help me quilt to
morrow." Just wait a second till I
get my bonnet . and., shawl, .and ; I'll
ride, with yon." And away she!
skipped. ? !
- "Thunder and , lightning !" said
Bill, what a scrape ! and he hastily
clutched his pants from between his
feet,' and was preparing to wriggle
into them when a light wagon, drawn
by a white face-horse, driven by a
boy, came along and stopped beside
him j ; The boy held a pair of, boots
in one hand and a pair of socks in the
other, and just as the widow. reached
the gate again, he said.
" Here's your boots and socks, M r.
Smiley, that you left on. the Widge
when you were in swimming."
'"You're mistaken," said Bill.'
" They're not mine." r v
f Why;' said the boy, ain't .you
the young man that had the race after
tbe horse just now?" -
I I f Nol sir, I am hot ! You had beM
ter eo on about your business." iiill
sighed at the loss of his boots, and
turning to the widow, said. y '
Just pick up thejirieswill you,'
please, this brute of a horse is always
switching them out of my hand."!
The widow complied, . and then , be
pulled one v corner ot tne rooe; cau-j
tioosly down and she got in.
" What a lovely evening, saia sne,?
" and so warm Ijdon't think we need
the robe over ns, do:.we ?" ! j
fYou see she hadrona; nice : new
dress and a pair of new gaiters, and
she wanted to sho w them.)

"Bill was just taking in breath for a
mighty sigh, and the pungent odor
made him throw back his head so, far
that he lost his balance and went over

man gave a little scream , as his hare
feet flew past her head, and covering
her lacei with her hands, gave way la
tears or smiles it is hard "to tell
which. Bill was "right side np". in a
moment, and leaning over the back bf
the seat was humbly apologizing and
explaining when Ed. Wilbur and his
wife and baby drove np behind and
stopped.' Poor Bill felt that he would
rather have been shot , than had Ed.'
Wilbur catch hfra in such & scrape
but there was no help for1 it now, so
he called Ed. to him, and whispered
in his ear. Ji.d. was like to burst with

he could, and then with great persua

socks, and getting f him '; washed and
combed, bad him quite presentable
when the ladies arrived, I "need not
tell how the 'story was ail wormed

laughed as they sat around .the. tea

saving that they went to the show
together, and Bill has no, fear of Gus
