Will you do it with this here? he demanded, grasping the whip more tightly and lifting it to strike but before it could descend, Fairchilds wrenched it out of his hand. "Yes," he responded, "if you dare to touch that child again, you shameless dog!" Tillie, with anguished eyes, stood motionless as marble, while Absalom, with clenched fists, awaited his opportunity. "If I dare!" roared Getz.
Very simply and somewhat constrainedly they said good-by the next morning, Fairchilds to go to his work at William Penn and Tillie to drive out with her Uncle Abe to meet her father's displeasure. Mr. Getz had plainly given Absalom to understand that he did not want him to sit up with Tillie, as he "wasn't leaving her marry."
Browning's poems which lay among his books on the table, opened it at the fly-leaf, and pointed to his name. "'Walter'?" read Tillie. "But I thought " "It was Pestalozzi? That was only my little joke. My name's Walter." On the approach of Sunday, Fairchilds questioned her one evening about Absalom. "Will that lad be taking up your whole Sunday evening again?" he demanded.
Fairchilds could scarcely breathe, so great was her curiosity. "You will learn soon enough without my telling you." And that was all Mrs. Franklyn-Haldene would say. But it was enough, enough for her purpose. Within an hour's time all the old doubt had been stirred into life again, and the meddlers gathered about for the feast. It is all so simple and easy. Mrs.

She was literally packed with people. After supper, on Saturday evening, we started a game in the barber shop, which was kept up until Sunday morning. Over $8,000 changed hands, and I was a big winner.
"That's where I shall be delighted to keep her," returned Fairchilds, gallantly, and Amanda laughed boisterously and grew several shades rosier as she looked boldly up into the young man's eyes. "Ain't you fresh though!" she exclaimed coquettishly. How dared they all make so free with this wonderful young man, marveled Tillie. Why didn't they realize, as she did, how far above them he was?
Tillie saw the new teacher's glance sweep their titles: "Touching Incidents, and Remarkable Answers to Prayer"; "From Tannery to White House"; "Gems of Religious Thought," by Talmage; "History of the Galveston Horror; Illustrated"; "Platform Echoes, or Living Truths for Heart and Head," by John B. Gough. "Lemme see your name's Fairchilds, ain't?" the landlady abruptly asked.
She sayed now her daughter's engaged to be married and her mind's more settled and to be sure, that made somepin too. Yes, she sayed her gettin' engaged done her near as much good as the five different kind of doses done her." "Are you an Allopath?" Fairchilds asked the doctor. "I'm a Eclectic," he responded glibly.
Henderson, in New York, expressed the greatest desire to make your acquaintance." Miss Forsythe smiled. "I suppose he has come up on purpose. But, dear, you must go to chaperon me. It would hardly be civil not to go, when you knew Mr. Henderson in New York, and the Fairchilds want to make it agreeable for him." "Why, auntie, it is just a business visit. I'm too tired to make the effort.
