After that he put the matter out of his mind and refused to be troubled by thoughts of Lettie Bronson, or her attitude toward him. Spring was advancing apace now. Every day saw the development of bud, leaf and plant. Slowly the lowland was cleared and the brush and roots were heaped in great piles, ready for the torch.

Now, if you please, pay close attention, for something is going to happen very shortly, if Uncle Wiggily Longears doesn't come along and bother me, and I don't believe he will. Well, Lulu and Alice and Jimmie got safely home with the pussy willows, and as they were putting them in water to keep until Monday, Aunt Lettie came into the room.

"I don't know how much Miss Lettie has been talking about me," laughed Hiram. "Full and plenty, I expect." "And small blame to her," declared Mr. Bronson. "I won't waste time telling you how grateful I am. I had just time to turn that boy of Dickerson's off before I was called away. Now, my lad, I want you to come and work for me."

I said, "No, they were such strange people, I would rather not." Chloe came in from the kitchen to say that "Kate, Miss Axtell's girl, had come, and said, 'Miss Lettie was too ill for Miss Percival to take care of her. Mr. Abraham couldn't leave her." The funeral was to be on the morrow. The morrow came.

"Have you no claim upon this?" I asked. "On the ring? Oh, no, none." I put back with gladness the gift my father gave. My time had come. The opportunity was most mysteriously given me to redeem the promise made in the morning to Miss Lettie. I began, quite timidly at first, to say that I had a message for Mr.

You want to take my girl from me. I can lick you, and I'm going to do it." I was bigger than Tell, and he knew my strength. "I wish to goodness you would," I said. "I'd rather be licked than to have a girl I don't care for always smiling at me." Tell's face fell, and he grinned sheepishly. "Don't you really care for Lettie, Phil? She says you like Bess Anderson."

"The moonlight sheened the earth, hot and heavy and still, that night. My father, mother, and Lettie were in the home where you have seen sorrow come. Up from the sea came the low, hollow boom of surges rising over the crust of land. "'To the sea, to the sea, let us go! I cried; 'it is the very night to tread the hall of moonbeams that leads to palace of pearls!

"'I was dying, she said; 'you've come back to save me, Abraham. "My father did not speak then, he lifted my mother from off the stone, and together we three walked home. Lettie lingered, the shadow with her. Was that the young girl? I could not quite discern." Mr. Axtell stopped in his narration, walked out of the village of Dead Percivals, and to his mother's new-made grave. He came back soon.

But, by hen, I'd never see a ha'nt long's I had somethin' better to look at." I saw Lettie turn quickly and disappear around the corner. My father was busy, so I sat in the office window and whistled and waited, watching the ponies switch lazily at the flies.

Bronson would take me on now?" But he knew that the Westerner already had a man who suited him, since Hiram had refused the chance Bronson offered. And, then, Lettie had shown that she felt he had not appreciated their offer. Perhaps her father felt the same way. Besides, Hiram had a secret wish not to put himself under obligation to the Bronsons.
