He bod already adopted her in bis heart as bis eister, and be could not peroeive that she rebelled against the relationship, though she gave absolutely no sign of her own feelings. CHAPTER XVI. El GOES TO THE MOUNTAINS FOB TEDB CACTUS. Miss Dora Thistle did not csll at the store the next day, and the day after a bright young man from the city arrived and quite absorbed her attention for the rest of the time she spent at Ashton. Aleo was evidently a great pazslsbo her, and she felt that it was beat to let him alone. Besides, he had grown very stupid, and Mr. Melton, with hi* white flannel suit, brown ai»ce« sad vary broad brimmed hat with a red band, r/au always interesting. Mr. Melton did not know Aleo, and one* or twice was rather rude to him, until Miss Thistle whispered in his ear; then be only stared hard at Aleo and ebook his head. But before the suminwr was past tho young men of the village mad* shy advances to Aleo, and he got ca to very friendly terms with those ho met *vary Sunday in his Sabbath school ck-gr. Quo day Aleo decided to confide his personal doubts and dif/lcultiev to George Marston, the blacksmith. He wa* quietly looking about to eee if he oould find any remunerative employment or occupation, and thought that George might suggest some idea. Mr. Higgins still gave him only his board and lodging, though ho had freely allowed Aleo to take things from the store on credit. “ Ask him for $5 a week, ” said George when Aleo mentioned tlii*. “You deserve it, and be will uaver give it to you cnkx.a you ask. him. ’’ Alee Hiked Mr. Eipgin* fox the addition of $5 n week, an A the request was promptly accorded. ‘T thought, you w v; a, queer chap to work aJi saimaor on nc ;hi»g u week, ” said Joe, “but if you wanted to do it I wasn’t saying nothin' % TLm sharp October fv ;Hta had tnrned all the in ;ipin leaves scarlat aad all the elin and chestnut leaves yellow, and the ivy leaven yellow and scarlet together. It was time to bring home the young cattle from the mountains, aad George Maraton and Aleo were deputed to go for them h r the neighborhood. George Marsfcon wan considered the beet hand at coaxing cattle in the village, and he in turn asked Aleo to go with him. Joe Higgins readily let the young man off, for he had cattle of his own to be brought They were to take George M arston’s Concord wagon and bay mare, a first rate roadster. In the wagon were plenty of blankets, so that they might sleep a night on the bottom of it if need be, and oats for the mare and a big lunch basket that ’Lisboth prepared. It contained, Alec knew, a lot of hear good tli tugs—ginger cookies and onrraui jelly and huckleberry jam, besides more solid nutriment, end there was a big jug; of *W66t older.

They would be gone no doubt touthnpf. days, il not four or five, for it vraifAO nuios to the mountains and hunting est title and driving them home are Tory slow work. They would start early ou Holiday laorniag and reach the pasturage by evening. The next duy would coxae ths hunt for the stray ones, and there was bo tolling how long that would take. Then it would require not lees than two days to drive the cattle home, even If tboy traveled more or lees eteadi ly during the intervening night Aleo liked the idea of taking such a trip with George Mars ton, for a fondness had grown up between the man and the lad which was clearly recognized by both, though never spoken of. Perhaps ’Lisboth was the mutual bond, for she had become like a very sister to Aleo, and he fc«d done all he oauM to forward the euit of Mansion, to whom also he Iqokefi for a sort of protecting, brotherly .interest which is consoling to think of; eveu if it does not mean very cattail practically. ’Lisbeth took great pains ia getting the two off comfortably. Many a little thing was added fear their welfare which they would never have thought) of. At 6 o’clock in the morning the old, dirty, rattling wagon, with its rough floor, that had wide cracks in it, stood before the veranda of the store, and on this speoial occasion the store door vwss standing open. Bat though rather ill looking, the wagon had good springs and good wheels, and the bay mare was fresh and sleek in har substantial though scarcely elegant harness. Everything had been put into the wagon the night before except the lunch banket, and ’Lisbetb had been up for an hour past preparing that. Alee now appeared at the door bringing it, and George and ’Lisbeth were clow behind him. fie put the basket ia behind, and George get in to the seat and took up the reina When all was ready, Aleo jumped up on the low veranda, and, taking ’Liabeth’s hand, said a hearty good by and kissed her an the cheek fie blushed slightly, but affiwted an uncommon ease of manner and unoccflcioasnesa M ho swung round the wagon and proceeded to climb on the opposite side, ‘Lisbeth looked after him m blank fimwrmti Bbe was neither otfemtofl nor pleased, apparently, bat simply aetaofcbed, and It took her some «*«ods to grasp the situation.

It was still early, tb* very gray twilight of the sacming, the air was cool and brsciug, aad the mere trotted briskly away. Bat after awhile they fell to talking about various topics of philosophy and life. Love always suggests the philosophy at life, far is not love the great mystery t But neither of them was sentimental, and soon otlhar things distracted them, j There was among farmers great activity near at home jut at this season. They were doing up the fail work. Now and then the travel*** get wide views over the fields and ferwrta, which seemed clothed in gorgeous, royal robes of flaming red aad yellow mingled with the dork green of the piae* mad heusloeka. Indeed, it was a fkrioua sight, oo strange and difi®rest from tho soft groans of the spring. Moreover, the air j Wf« cool and day; oaly white fU&cy I clouds floated la ths sky, and the yellowing leaves earn* rusfclittg briakly down. Mosrr, of tha applae had been picked, but open barn door* showed long lines at unhoaded barrels taej with the red fruit, and here and there in the Helds were Lugo beeps, suggesting the harvest of the year. Besidea, all the men seemed to work with a relaxing yet buoyant energy, os if thankful that the heavy work of the year vraa over. Why is it that we love th* autumn when the winter will come so scoa, with its dull, cloudy November days mad its December snows and its January ioet And why is the spring so sad, even when it is the glad herald of a new year and new life? Perhaps it is that we who are ripening rejoice in the ripeness and mellow bounty of autumn, while the spring saddens us because it suggests a new’ life and budding hopes to others, but not to us. At any rate autumn is filled with joy, is very toy itself in fullness, and when it puts on scch regal robes as it does in when the leaves of all the tpees and shrubs and vines turn to such brilliant hues, it becomes indeed triumphal. When at night they reached the pasturage they found half a dozen steers j and heifers that George greeted faxnil--1 iarly and which came to eat the salt in jhi 3 hand. He was disappointed to find so few. But these were secured, and' then they prepared themselves for the

night. A, campfire was built, over | which George made tea and cocked ! some eggß. The treasures of ’Lisbeth’h basket were fully explored, the mare was unharnessed and tied out to grass’, for there was a little dried outside the posture bare, though ve*j little inside. Then the boys got thair Manhole and sat about the fire talking vaguely as the twilight deepened and the stars came out, Both seemed happy, but Alec was almost ecstatic. When, a little later, they made their rude beds on the wagon bottom, he lay awake a long time looking up into the clear, still sky! Never before had be t slept under the open stars, and now'with regret he wished fortune had not always provided him with a bed in those first struggling days. The next day they were scouring the woods, each searching in a different direction tor the missing dftffle. It was one of those warm Octcwpdaya when the sunshine seems yelgpwect of all the yew. A few rnstli dead leaves fluttered underfoot, and to,, branches broke, while partridges switod up an every side, winging louftiblong the ground cr running with lettered heads. ; Here aadtbaar* one might catch gli tnysea up the gorges of the mataj&ns, revealing a splendor aod a griA famese that must .remain in of even the iwest It seemed as if D&x.>xe IS ludy iurpo.’.i mat ssr’s Of . >■■ tAe gen Hyellow, green or b*cr* .

Bat it wim near a atije ant* half, bo the sun stood at fall neon whan Aleo and George met oooe am, wad having receded in the oattJe they had found they prepared their fauach together. Only three f the hard were locking, and these they hoped to dad in • pert cf the pasture yet uuvisited. But George seemed very mfbet indeed, and scarcely spoke. Aleo mined bis free, frank, oordial tone, and waa vaguely distressed, th«gh he' oould make out no reason. As soon as luncheon waefiatehad they started out again. Alee wandered all the afternoon, finding nothing of the cattle, tut plenty else to enjoy. But m the sun sank out of sight away across the valley behind the Green mountains, be beard a long shrill whistle from j George, and hurried toward it as rapid|lyae be could. II was half rm hour be- | fore he readied the bars, but here he i found George and the missing cattle, j Bo at daylight the next morning they i would be ready to start for hoaea. | George was taciturn as eves. Also wa* oppressed, bat rallied him on being i in love, telling him that after that partI log kiss he ought* to be a happy man. Tbs other’s face lightened somewhat at ' this, bat still he did not resume his mat- | oral cheerfulness. They ate sapper ; quietly, and as both wire tired they ! kx n lay down in their blankets to sleep. | But neither slept. It was clear sad I cool; the star* shone down steadily; the i wind rustled lightly but njcaj-afully in ! the trees; over & the east the moon was ] juat coming. up round aad red, easting long shadows among thetreea. They lay thus for a kiag time with no «Gh«r Bounds. Alee would have gone to sloop long ago bad he not been so very Iked. Suddenly George asked, as if he were inquiring what o’clock it were, bast half expected to find his bedfellow asleep : “Did you efet kiss her before?** “No,’’ said Aleo iu the came tosua “I don’t know how I happened to then, only she looked so lenely. ” “Do yon think sha cures fee me?” came the question after a little pause. “Why, cf oourse. lam sure at it. I Didn’t you know it? I knew it from the flnst night I staid there. You know that Saturday evening you cam a I saw her cry a little behind the door when you were gone. ” There was a very long silence after this. Neither moved nor offered to speak. But at last George said in his old cheery tone: “You’d better go to sleep, Alec. It’s tough tramping ever the mountains for the first time. I’m pretty stiff myself, and wo mast be off early tomorrow. It’s a good thing we’ve got all the cattle i in.’’ The journey home was a long.and tedious one. One of the men had to walk all the way, and they took turns. At the end of the first day they were so fagged out that George decided to secure a pen if possible in which to keep the cattle for the night, and at last succeeded. The next day one of the steers ran away, and while ten miles from home they were obliged to drive the other cattle into a neighbor’s barnyard and go to bunt for the missing one, which they found along near midnight and drove back to the others. They reached Ashton about 10 o’clock in the evening of the third day. The store was still lighted, and George seemed in exceedingly cheerful spirits as they drew near. They drove the cattle into the greatbarnyard at the rear, and then (George brought the horse around to the front of the store, while Aleo entered the building at the rear. As everything in the kitchen was still and dark, he made hia way into the dining room, where supper was spread for himself and George, though no one was there, and then he went on into the store, where ’Lisbeth must bet No doubt the ohildren had gone to bed, and possibly Mrs. Higgins also. To his surprise, he found the store full of strangers. Alec read in their faces that something had happened, and he hurried on toward the outer door, where he could see ’Lisbeth and Mrs. Higgins looking into the dark for himself and George. As He reached the door he made a sound, and Mrs. Higgins turned suddenly and fell on his neck sobbing as she mumbled out: “Ob, Mr. Howe, I knew you would .come; I knew you would come! You’ve always been that good to me and ’Lisbeth, aad even Joe spoke well of you. I knew you would cornel” “What is the matter?” asked Alec, looking at ’Lisbeth, and involuntarily drawing away somewhat from Mrs. Higgins’ embrace. ’Lisbeth turned a sad, pale face on him, and said shortly : “Father's had a fit and died about two hours ago. We’ve been waiting for you to come. Where is George V ’ “Tner®,” answered Aleo, for George had coma op iu the dark and was standing m the step. ’Lisbeth turned and stood lacing him. ‘.‘Father’* dead,” she said in the some monotonous tope in which she had addressed Aleo. “He died in one of those fit* about two hours ago. We’ve been waMaig for you. The neighbors poame in and offered to help, but they oould do nothing. ” Others bad crowded around, much x--Ateo’s annoysnoo, but ’Lisbeth and V_-£. Higgins and George seemed to th*. c it only natural that they should. irt ’Lisbeth aaid in the same tone as : “Oooae in and have your supper. I’ve had it waiting for you. Corn* a, George. Don t talk about going off :.w. Gome in. Supper’s all ready. ” CHAPTER XVH. tffl OBSEQUIES OV JOE HIOGIKU As the doctor and a neighbor tn< performed the neoteaary offices for the dead, there was naught to do now but eat supper and go to bed. Hind v omen followed Mrs. Higgins and ’L-abeth fairly into the dining room, and had to be assured many times that there was notiiing to be done, no assistance needfid, Ifrgt they were perfectly comfortable

for the night now that George and AL*o had come home. And at last, as George and Alec were finishing their supper, the four were left aktw in the dining room, and Mrs. Higgins aad ’Lisbeth sank into chair* at the table with the young men. Mzm. Higglnr by turns wept on tho virtues cf her deceased husband. All three tried to oouafort hw, but in vain. She because bjuftfiniT. till lisbeth spoke to her: “Mother, stop I Stop, mother!” But Aleo had bean watching the face of ’Lisbeth. Nat a tear had escaped her eyes; her face was pallid and drawn iu tense lines. Aleo suggested to Sn. Higgins that he should help her into the parlor, and she would gratefully have aooepted bis assistance, but ’Lisbeth jumped up and, said: “I’ll go with motitew" “No, jam stay with Gsarf*” said Mn. Biggin* urea at this moment thoughtful at toe proprieties to her guest. “George can take erne of himself. Aleo can look after him,’* said ’Lisbeth curtly, and took her mother’s arm' The two man sat looking at each other for a little while. Then Also said: , “I think I’U clear off the lahfta ’Liebath must be pretty well and «p tonight. ” As ha began bis work Georgs row aad aaid be thought he must be going; that be woeld come over In the asoraing, and he glad to do anything m the world be ooald da “No;stay a little whlla Tdsfeetkwill be back,” said Also, and waat an with hi* wprjc.

I meant to say it when I got back. I was thinking about it all the way along. Now that he’e gone you’ll need somebody to take care of you and the folks, : and I don’t know that I’m good for any- j thing else if you’ll just have me, ’Lisbeth.” Ho spoke in a hesitating, jerky way. ! But ’Lisbeth understood. “But,” K«id she, “I won’t tie myself ! ' to any mm with ail my lather’s family | l"o ::r on my skirts. If mother and I too • • ibixen get enough out of the store m:.i! things to take care of them properly, perhaps I might. ” Then, Aleo beard something that eotmck-'.y ’ifee a kise. A,moment later Georgs stumbling blindly out into thu tv. t, He stumbled into Alec, who shook lamfa with bird and bade him a hearty goi'jd night, which quite brought him to hib normal senses. Alee fastened the door after him and went into the dining room, where 'lisbeth was standing by the table. “I’vefastened all the windows,” acid Aleo, “and the doom are bolted except out this way.” "I’ll fasven out here,” said TAebeth, but Aloe fallowed her, and their hand* sometimes Jmet in the dark. A tear or two droprld on hia, and then he not>idedSibs.:4*hß waa sobbing and could not stop despite her every effort. When they get to the dining room wkers|there was a light, she lay her head on the table, her arms stretched out before her, and gave way at lust to the grief she had so long contained. Alec stood and watched here till the tears began to run down his face too. But at last she stopped and they began to talk. They consulted as to what was to be done. In a veiled way they talked over ’Lisbeth’s possible marriage. ’Lisbeth decided that she and Aleo must get the store to rights and manage things for the winter. In the spring perhaps—but it would be time enough to talk about it then. “The children don’t know,” said ’Lisbeth, “they don’t know a thing.
