And this is no sudden fancy. I have known you long, and admiration has ripened into esteem. Will you lake my proposal " iato . coosideraiinT, Hessie caught her breath. 1 She look the very pretty ! with ,-the ' maidenly reserve mantling . her ; features, ;j. the long, bark lashes shading the, pare cheek; but these words brought such a bewildering ista' of the ' Deslonde mansion where a home was " offered her, that she was all in a whirl. 1 I will take your offer into considera tion, Mr. Deslonde,'. she -syllabled mechanically. ! 1 She felt entirely incapable of ! say icg any more. And then Caddy came running in - with the ammonia bottle, and Mr. Deslonde's conversa tion turned to generalisms, and then he took his leave. ; . Nobody will wonder, I think, that Hessie was very: much excited. It was not unpleasant excitement, j She was nattered, she was encourag ed.. ? ' ' y:' ' Doctor Arthur PeQ was very much respected, though he was not rich. Panl i Deslonde was ' very wealthy. Such a proposal from either was very reassuring to a poor girl whose face was her only fortune. Not that Hes sie was a bit in love with either. 'How could she be wbeb she toever had dreamed of marrying either of these gentlemen t ' it was all so very un expected! ' ' ;x' '; ' The days and weeks went on. It was a verr cleasant chancre which had come to Hessie drives and , vis its, and flowers sent up to her mod est little room. Tbe odors of things brightened even tbe tedious school boars. : xet, even when a month had gone ' by. Hessie had not even approached her decision, i She posseseed, in her two suitors, an embarassment of riches.

When the goods she had ordered were pat up, a he aat down iu the back of tbe store to wait for her car, which would not be due for half an hour.

Yoa see the liv ery man I was wOrkirig for' promo ted me. ' He let me drive a horse to haul saw dust for bedding, first, and when be found I was real careful he let me drive an express wagon to haul tranksi Day before yesterday. there was si funeral, and our stable f armsbed tne outfit.; It was only a common elven dollar funeral, so they let me go to drive the horse for the minister you Jmosr, the buggy tnat goes ahead of the . hearse. They gave me an old horse that is thirty years old, that has' not been out of a walk in rune years, and tbey told me to "give bun a loose rein, and he would go along all right. It's , the same old horse that used to pace so fat on the avenue,-years ago, but I didn't know it Well, I wam't to blame. I just let him walk , along as though he was hauling saw-dust and gave him lose rem. w nen we got off tbe pavement the fellow that cause his folks Jwea going to have ducks for dinner, and he wanted to get back, so he kept driving along side of my buggy; telling me to hur ry up. I wouldn't do it, 'cause tne boss told ine to walk the horse. Then the minister he . got nervous, and said he didn't know as there was any use of going so slow, because he wanted to get back in tune to go to the ministers meeting in the after noon, but I told him we would all get in the; cemetery soon enough if cool, and as for me I . wasn't in no sweat Then one of the drivers tnat was driving tbe mourners, he came np and said he had tarun a wedding down to the To clock train, -and for me to pull out a little. I 'have se enough of disobeying orders, and I told bint a funeral in the hand was worth two in the bush, and as far as I am concerned the funeral ! was go ing to be condacted ma decerns man ner, if we- didn't get back till the next day. " Well, the nunister said in bis regular Snnday-school way, My little man, let ne take hold of the lines," and like a blame ' fool I Save it to liiai. . Be slapped the old orse on the crupper with the lines and then' jerked up, and the old horse stack up his off ear, and then the hearse driver told the mit ister to pull hard and saw on the bit a little and the old hone would wake up The hearse driver used to drive the old pacer on the track, and he knew what he wanted.

' I understand the minister is going to take a vacation on account of his liv er and nervous prostration. I would if I was him. I never a man that had nervous prostration any more than he did when we fished him out of tbe barbed wire' fence, after we Btrock the street car. ' But that set ties the minister business with me. I dent't drive . no ministers. , What I want is a quiet party that wants to go en walk," and the. boy got ' up and hipped on one foot toward, his crutches, filling . his' pistol pocket with figs as he hobbled along. : "Ibe, next tune I drive a minister to a funeral he will walk," and the boy hobbled out and hung oat a sign . in- front of the grocery, "Smoked dog-fish ; .at halibut -prices good enoogb for company." .

He thinks probably, that no one can pen- - etrate his disguise, but I sUbuld know bun in the dark with a mask-on. Ab, Mile Qashwell, now .
