Aunt Prunella (who had decided to remain with her sister during the winter) thought to her self: "What a brave little thing it is. fed .what a mistake that young man has made. " - Three weeks went by and one af ternoon six-year-old Robbie came in from school with a shining silver piece tightly clasped in his chubby hand. "Why, Robbie, who gave it to you ?" inquired his mother, anxious to learn where he had obtained it "Oh, a gentleman I don't know his name. I met him near the sta tion,' and he asked me to tell him where he could find a boarding house, so I walked along with him and showed him where Mrs. Merrill lives.

One day as he was watchine his flock which was feeding in the val ley on the borders of a forest, a hun ter came out of the woods and asked : "How far is it to the nearest village?" "Six miles, sir," replied the boy, "but tke road is only a sheep track, and very easily missed." The hunter glanced at the crook ed track, and then said : "My lad, I am hungry, tired and thirsty. I have lost my companions and missed my way. Leave your sheep and show me the road. I will pay you well." . "I cannot go sir," replied Gerhardt, very firmly. "My master pays me for my time, and he trusts me with his sheep. If I were to sell you my time, which does not belong to me, and the sheep should get lost, it would be just the same if I had stole them."

Colonel Duckery, than they know now. His record will be overhauled thoroughly and his opinions will be ventilated. Duckery was a sort of a politician in his Chapel Hill days. Some of the boys thought him a demagogue then. His graduating speech was political if we catch on to the record. The boy was father to the man. He is not without talents, but he is very inferior to popular estimate. He has I got credit from the Democrats for much more than he really is. If he were to debate with a really strong man be would fare badly. In the hands of a man like the late Henry W. Miller he would be a baby in the hands of a giant. He can write a speech in pretty fair and vigorous English. He is not without gifts in that line. With no one to reply to bis threadbare sophisms, his absurd theories, his poor attempts at states manship and his bold, reckless as sertions, he is formidable, and only because people are ignorant. He can get off palpable nonsense with a ore rolundo flourish and make "the gazing rustics ranged around" be lieve that it is great wisdom.

Most of the ladies took refuge in the cabin, but Lenore leaned on the rail, fascinated by the fury of the waves. "You do not seem to be very much frightened," said Mr. Graham, at her elbow.

In New York the party is united as never Detore, and no one seems to think the Republicans have a fighting chance. The gamblers are all the bets longing in his dark eyes. Some one came up just then and further con versation was impossible, but Lenore thought to herself, "He loves me." The next days he was surprised to have a call from Miss Marcel le.

"Mr. Graham wants to see you in the parlor, Lenore," said Aunt Pru nella, a little later. Then, as she helped the girl's trembliner Sneers arrange her soft brown locks, she said, softly : "Darling, he is not engaged to Miss Marcelle at al). I have seen him, and he has confided to me that but go to him, my dear child, and hear his story from his own lips." Ah, happy moments of explana tion in-the little parlor 1 How easy it was to forget all the doubt and pain of the past, with hand clasped to hand in the blissful present.

The loss of one or more would not be much to your master; and IU giro you more money than you ever earned before in a whole jear." The boy shook bis head.

We would rid a mule a mile or two, provided ha would allow us to do so, to hear a debate between Duckery and Gov ernor Brsgg, or Abram Venable, or John Kerr, or Josiah Crudu, or a half doren other canvassers in thex past we could name. Duckery was in the last Constitu tional Convention. He did nothing inquired the hunter, rather angrily, but read a well prepared eulogy of "Sir," said the boy, slowly "you tried to make tne false to my trust, and wanted me to break my word to my master. How do I know you would keep your word to me ?" The hunter laughed, for he felt that the boy had fairly cornered him. "I see, my lad, that you are a good faithful boy. I will not forget you. Show me the road and I will try to make it out myself." Gerhardt now offered the humble contents of his script to the hun gry man, who coarse as they were, ate them gladly.
