THE MOUNTAIN MAID'S ESTIMATE.
Men Arc All Itlalit. Hot pU BoUar'a
Mors Jiniuitiu.
The road led down oCthe monntaln
and past ko near the hide of a farm
bou-e nestling iu the narrow valley
that I v.as within speaking distance
nt a tall, slah-sided mouDtaiu maid
', tii-ring apple butter in an iron wai
kettle that would hold about ten gal
lons. 4 loose Rtone hearth had been
thrown together in the yard and bed
of blitziii,' ember" was maintained na
der the kettle. There was a well nn-d-.'i-
a shade tree near by, and, tbonjrh
I had no especial desire for water, the
ught of the cool old well aud the drip
ping bucket on the moss-jneen stoue
ubout the top made me want to try
tho water, unyway, so I pulled my
hor-e up ut the side gate and hailed
the maiden.
"How d'y." nhe nodded, aud kept
on stirring the apple buttrr.
"Excuse mo," I taid, "but could I
get a drink of water here?"
"Not out thar whar you air," hIio
flickered, "but you kiuovertbar ot
the well."
She kept on tdirrin;; the butter, and
J looked at her in hiirprie, for, es a
rule, the greatest lady iu the moun
tains will bring n (-tranter at the gate
a cup of cold w ater.
"vVill I have to gat off ray horso
cn l coins afier it?" 1 inijuireJ.
"Ef you'd rulher," kuo snickered
a-rain, still btirring the apple butter,
"yo-.t kin ri le ftfo:iU'l to tho bars and
and eo iio iu on yer critter."
She kept on Htirring the apple but
ter nild I got down, hitched my horde
to the pahugs and came into the well.
Taking a pood, long drink, I cituo
over to H03 th? stirring.
"Jitcasc me," I eaid to the maid,
"'Irit are yo.i ro busy as all that?"
"f ain't" pl.iyin', I reekoD," she re-j-li"
I w i n soiun a-pci i'.y.
"t presume," I fail, teasinlr,
",ha! i ', iustead of ai old codger liko
