A GOSSIPING

row slits of eyes blinking

•,

The kitchen was a low, wide room, and fairly shone with cleanliness there was a fire in the stove, and on one of the covers a kettle of hot fat fizzled and sputtered and smoked.

Presently the door of the cook-room opened and the housewife entered the kitchen, her hands full of uncooked doughnuts. She deposited them in the fat and turned for a moment to look out of the window. Her brows contracted into a frown as she said aloud: "Oh, dear! if there isn't Dorcas Jones. Come to spend the day, of course, just when I'm busiest. 1 do wish she could contrive to come some other time than when I'm cooking but I s'pose there no help for it,, and I'll have to be civil to her. Sho's got her budget of news full, I know by the looks of her face. Well, I shall have to listen. I s'pose, if I do put pepper in the bread and saleratus in the soup it can't be helped—good mornin', Dorcas," as the lady in question entered the door, a gossipy spinster, with a face like a wrinkled apple.

Dorcas laid down her capacious bombazine sachel and threw herself into a stuffed chair, saying, as she untied betbonnet strings: "Waal, good mornin', Mis' Davis hain't it pleasant? Thinks I to myself: 'God is good to us poor mortals to give us sech sunny days, all pleasant and bright.' I met Parson Green on my 'JuorhfiT? fjorcas.' 'Good mornin', Parson.' sez I. 'Dorcas,' sex he, 'you always look jest so pleasant—' 'Yes, Parson,' sez I, 'an' 1 feel pleasant.

"Dorcas Jones!" cried Polly ''don't you dare say that outside these walls. John Darrows was no more to me than the wind that blows.'' '-Perhaps not," said Dorcas, "hut don't less quarrel, Polly. I only come to make your mother a visit, an' as a church member it don't look well for me to fight. I was only tellin what I've .heard." "You're no right, Dorcas Jones, cried Polly, her quick temper now fully roused—"to tell any thing like that if vou did hear it. Such an affair as that concerns no one but the actors, and Id thank gossipy Jongues to leave my name alone.*'

Dorcas" face flushed, and it was with twitching fingers that she began to roll *up her work. "Polly Davis." said she, "I'm slow to anger an' usually fergivin': but there is times when even a Christians feelin are touched, an" that time hez come to me. I'm a jest goin" home an' it'll he a long time afore I darken your doors agin." "There. Dorcas." expostulated Mrs.

Davis "do be sensible an" stay. You hain't janing home: never mind Polly.", Yes. 1 am." said Dorcas Jones, in her excitement putting on her bonnet wrong: I "she's insulted me enough an' I won't stand it any longer. I'm jest a-goin

So she stayed, gossiping to her heart's content about .John Darrows. and no one but Polly herself knew the dull pain that was gnawing at her (.Polly s) very soul. ."Yes." said Dorcas, "he's married, sure pop. 1 shan tell who told me. fer it don't look well fer a church member to tell tales. It's a gal nobudcly knows an' nobud'ly cares. I guess. .John wuz alwuz. a young scapegoat anyhow. I'm sure I never thought but mighty little of him fer all his dandified ways an' hansotu' face." "What a wretched, never-ending day." Polly thought as she ascended the stairs to her room after Dorcas had gone.

The tears which had been threatening to fall all day now burst their bounds, and the pent-up flood came in full forcc as she leaned her head on the windowsill. in the privacy of her own room. Through the window came the perfume of apple-blosvnns. bringing to mind a May night, a year ago. when .John Darrows had asked her to bo his wife. She remembered that it was just after sunset. and she had been strolling through her father's orchard alone. She remembered how she had come up to the fence, her hands full of the dainty blossoms, and found John waiting for her how he

"What—what in the name of common sense does this mean?"'V -It means." said Polly, her cheeks while, but her eyes blazing "it means will you le kind enough to give me my hat?" "Polly Davis, why do you treat me thus? We were such good friends when I went away." "Is friendship any plea why you keep my hat. sir? I shall get cold without it.'" .. "Take you hat, Polly Davis," he cried, flinging it toward her. "But I demand an explanation of your conduct.'" "An explanation, indeed," said she, ironically, fairly eclipsing him with the scornful gaze from her eyes, while her lips curled contemptuously. "As il you did not know. Oh, you are very innocent." "I swear before God, Polly Davis, that I ton innocent of any falsity to you "Kxplain." "Another proof of your villainy. Mr.

Darrows. If 1 have ever entertained the least doubt of your perfidy my doubts are all dispeled now. Swearing is nothing to a man of your stamp. You ask me to explain explain, indeed! Perhaps you do not know that. I know you are married "Married!"' cried John Darrows. in mystification. "Yes, married. Oh. you can brazen it out. you heartless wretch. 1—I hate you. Go. go from my sight, you villain, and don't you rrer show your hate—hateful face again to me. Now, la—laugh. you villain you've broken my lie—heart and 1 hutr you, you—boo-hoo."

Polly could stand it no longer, and sinking down, burst into a fit of weeping. while .John Darrows, unable to con trol himself, sprang over beside hei and in a trice she was in his arms. "li a lie." he whispered: "1 am nomarried. and never will be to any om but you. my love." "Dorcas .lones sa-said so." sobbet

Polly. "Dorcas Jones is a gossip," was tie sole reply.

It was after dark that evening who) Mrs. Davis heard the front gate clicl and the sound of stops coming up thi walk. "Where under the sun has Poll been?" she thought.

As the front door opened she heard familiar voice say: "Good-night. Polly: I'll call aroum to-morrow to see the folks. -John has come, mother, said Polly as she came in. "Me isn't married was a lie." -Well, there!" was Mrs. Davis' excla mat ion.

Polly lighted her lamp, and as sht watched 1 bought fully the match as burned out. said: "Mother, you remember that niglil Dorcas Jones came into church with hei false hair on wrong?" "Yes." "Well. 1 think she told that aboil John to get revenged on me for laugh ing at her." "Of all things! 'exclaimed Mrs. Davh »s PiiUx u:eul uu-stairs. laughimrto her self. "An' Dorcas a church member!
