' " Do, Lowizy, gitdown off that stool, ami quit rummaging in that burey drawer." Lowizy, from her perch on the stool, only turned her sloe-black eyes toward the cot whereon lay the invalid whoee faintly querulous tones arrested her attention, and answered': " 'Pears like you're crosser'n usual, Mandy. I a'n't a-rumraaging; I'm kuirtm' for a piece ef that uriped tickin' to set a patch in Mike's overalls." " Well, do git down and shut that drawer," persisted the sick woman; 44 there" a'n't a spook of that there tiekin' left." 44 There k, too," interrupted the girl, holding up a large scrap, " and here it is, so there. And what's more, here's a lot of new calico. Sakes ! -where did yen raise so much?" The woman's eyes brightened and her (oe cheered perceptibly as she anawered hurriedly, 44 Well, shut the drawer and git away from there, and I'll give you one of them pieces for a new dress. You can take your choice, tbe laylock an' green or the speckled pink. Do git down. lUght there by that window, too, and most time for Mike to be a-ooinhi'. He'll he risen mad to see you rummaging in them drawers. Likely as not he'll hit y." For answer the girl tiptoed up and peered ml of the window. IIw," she said coolly, 44 there he comes now. Well,hisgrub?s all ruly." Then she turned toward the woman ad held up first the lilac and green and then the pink print. "X like the pink a tight the het," she added, concluding dryly enough, 44 and I'd like to see Mike or any other man a-hitting of me." At that moment, Mike himself entered the door. His not ill-natured Irish face clouded as he observed Lowizy coolly replacing the prints in the drawer, and he stepped hastily forward as if to arrest her farther progress. A significant glace from his wife caused him to turn toward the cot instead of the bureau. 44 Never mind k," whispered kU wife, soothingly, 4,.ihe ha'n't spied mt nothin'. Site's only pokin' after a hit of stuff to patch your overalls. If you flare up likely as not she'll suspect something. I whk in my soul we'd never taken a hand in it."

As usual, where such exuberance of vege - table life is found, there is also found miliaria, and the unfortunate settlers on Missouri Flat came, in time.to deem the name flung at their island in the ironical speech of passing boatmen no misnomer. Misery Flat, indeed, it proved to many of them. Mike Flynn, a bright young man of Irish parentage, with hU youug wife, a

But sickness and death three baby forms were laid away in the neighborhood graveyard on the hillside beyond the slough had brought consequent expense and loss, aad Mike's hoard increased but slowly. Mandy's health gave way at last, and then all things seemed to io wronsr. Mike, by nature more thrifty and saving than the average Irishman, grew close, even covetous. It troubled Mandy to witness the growing change. When they had first come to Misery Flat they had found but one plantation on the island. Its owner, a thriftless Tenneseeean, wae eager to sell out his claim to Mike for a small sum of ready cash. With the plantation he turned

She learn-1 knowing all the while you was keeping ed also to paddle a skiff and, what was Lowizy out of home and schooling and

far more Utmcujt, to manage a dugout, and to swim in the Hyer. At fifteen Lowizy was, as Mike phrased U, a girl' worth somebody's while to look after, And truly, somebody of late seemed to be looking after the unknown in a way that was causing Mike no little concern. , Upon the night-robe in which the little, waif was clad at the time of her advent c upon the island the planter's wife read the name which the child said was her ewn, Heloise Masson. It had a profane sound to the uncultured Tennessee ear, and was accordingly modified into Lowizy. Of the little one's simple recital they could make out only that she was . on a big boat going to1 see papa, and that mamma rocked her to sleep m her Jap, ana when she, woke up she was all stuck fast in some bushes, and wet and muddy and hungry; anil that while sins was looking around to find mamma and sister she came upon the cabin and sought its friendly shelter. Conjecture only could supply the missing chapters of the baby's story.

One day, a few weeks previous to the opening of mir story, Mike returned from a visit to Bixlerville with two letters, which, in real to his wife.

LeafitwUe you're tier guardian, and x such you're t a right to see wtiat's intnat letter oofore she doee. May be Voucan make a good thing out of it. ho knows?" In an evil moment Miko yielded to the temptation. The letter to lleloise convinced him that the girl was indued the one sought for by parents who had mourned her as dead through all these 1 years, .lust how to niase money out of his knowledge he did not clearly see. ' ' They'll tke her away, that's sure, , as soon as they find out she's here," he said to his wife. 44 And how are wo to get on without Lowizy?" I don't know," answered Mandy with a sigh. 41 liut we've no right to keep her from her folks. No doubt she'll be thousands better off." I toll you we've got to think of our- , mont. 44 Who's a better right than him 1 that's fed and clothed her those seven " years gono? Who'll pay mo for her keep?" 44 Sure, she's paid as she's srone, Mike. Lowizy has been as much to us as wo to her. You can't deny that, . Don't do a mean thing, Mike, dear, Itisn't like you, and it'll bring no luck, , though you may thinK so." But Mike was blinded with lust of lucre. He hid the letters in the bureau drawer, and bade Mandy not mention then. He determined within himself to go not soon again.' to Bixlervillo. He grew moody and irritable, and Mandy, seeing the change, only became worse, and cried oftenor on her weary pillow, and not even Lowizy 's bright wits could account for tbe change that had happened to the pair. 44 O Mike, Mike, I can't stand it any mother-love and all? Ah, Mike, have you clear forgot the motto you said should be ours when we first came to the plantation? You know you said then to the aeighbers thatfwe'd all live by the Gehlen Uule at Missouri Flat, and then there'd never come hard feeling. Dear Mike, go and pray to the good God to take away, the evil spirit that troubles you and give you strength to square your life as it used to be by the best of all rules." She pushed him gently from her ai she turned awav her Head and ceased from pleading. Mike, without aword, went out. 44 Lowizy," said Mike, about sundown, as the girl balanced herself in the waiting dugout, 41 1 want to tell you something. I've been a-keepin' it back for some time, but it is your right to know it. Likely as not you'll be mad that I haven't told you before; for it's good news for you, although it's bad enough for Manuy and me. There's a letter from your folks up to the cabin, You'll have to answer it, and then, of ni:r.. t hnr'll nnnie nnd i'nt vnn unr! take you far enough fromMiserv Flat, and make a lady of you.

I hated to think of parting with you, and and " Here Mike's voice grew husky and he blushed with shame, but he went on, ( though, with a great effort: I 44 1 couldn't see how we'd ever get a 'home over yonder if we let go of you, and I was tempted, Lowizy, to do a 'mean thing, and try to get money out of j your iolks. Mandy wasn't to blame. She frowned upon it all the time. Just sayyou'll forgive, Lowizy. Can't you?"

Mike could not take in the overwhelming intelligence. 44 How did yon find them out, Lowizy?" ho asked dazedly. 44 Oh, Miss Naylor, she just gave the merest look at my new pink calico anil grabbed hold of nvy h'and and said, 4 Lowizy, if I don't miss my guess, yoti'ro in luck. There's folks, line ones too, over at the tavern hunting for a girl just your age and name. They say they've sent letters but never hail any answer, ami they're so sure the girl is somuwhero in this region rountiHbout that they've just oome themselves to search the whole country.
