Polly's Mistake/

always thought you llkel me, Polly!"

So I !», John "I'm very fowl "I you. but not in that way." "Not in what way, Polly? I only know one way of being fond of people,

Only one way! Wliy, there are dozens of ways."

Well. Polly, just say you'll tnarrv mo, an you may be fond of mo in your own way, or In dozen ways, I'm not particular."

But that was juit what Polly \v6u!d not do. All John'rt eloquence could not induce her to utter that simple little wonl "yes." At last John's stock of patience, "hover very largo, pave out, and ho told I^diy sho was a flinty hearted little flirt, to protend to be fond of him in any way. when it was plain to be seen that she itid not care a button for him. That was too mucb, to bo culled

flirt,

and a lllnty hearted flirt! and by John! Polly's eyes sptrklctl, and a sharn retort was on the tip of in tongue, wlion the kitchen door opened, nnd Uncle .Silas entered.

44Be

you two holdin'(Quaker meetin'?"

said he, a* ho was going out, after tilling and lighting his pipe at Polly's ironing

laco,

4,or

be you saviu' up for the sing-

to-night? Don't overdo it, tho'. Polly, or maybe your tongue '11 git stiff Inthejinta. Queer things i3 women's tongncM. And Uncle Siias went off chuckling over his little joke.

Of course, after that, Polly w»u not

fiap«

joing to bo in any hurry to speak. PerJohn thinks sho can't hold her tongue,too! Hhe wilt show him And Polly bites hor lip very hard and tries to look very resolute indeed. Hut John had lieen busy repenting for ten minutes he got up, as bi.s futl.e: shut the door, and said, quite gently,44 I'm sorry, Polly, for what I said a while ago. 1 didn't mean it, dear." No answer— uuless a big tear that dropped on Polly's iron just then might be taken for one.

Well, Polly, novor mind, I'll try to get over being fond of you, if it makes you so unh.xppy you need not cry about it I hope it is hot

,4J

bad as that." And

with that John went out to his woodchwpping, aud Polly finished ironing, and nobody was any the wiser. That is, noliody hut l'mtl i'ry, the parrot, who had heart! every word, ami startled Polly dreadfully that same evening, by calling out suddenly at tho Btipper table,

lillo P0II3', never mind! never

mindlnov^r mind! Poor Polly! Pretty Polly 1 don't cry!'' How'vor, neither Uncle Silas nor Aunt lebby paid tho least regard to I'.uil Pry's rather personal and slightly impertinent remarks but thov made Polly so nervous with dread ot what bo might nay next that -ho could not eat, and thereby attracted Aunt Dobhv's attention herselt.

lie you sick, child Y»u don't neem to Inve no appetite, and your fAen is red as :i boot tins minute/ I do to goodn*R you aint going to

Polly's cheeks N alius like pink hoi. Ivhocks*" said Undo Siliw, with a glance ut affectionate admiration in Polly's direction. "Souu».folksadm re to »eiTd cheeks, nn4 then aguln some dt«*n't. There*? Alice Hrown, now she ain't got no more color nor stattoo but mont folks Hows she's dretVul liansum that young painter chap from York vr*s alius drawln' or her plctor. Kor toy part, 1 think red cheeks Is hafllihy," and Aunt Debby stirml her tea meditatively

Alice Hrown ain't no mora to be eompired to our Polly for lo^ks nor them blenched potato-sprouts down cellar l« lit to be put In a posy along 'o pinks nnd glllUtowons" «*«i t' "«lo indignantly.

Well, father, I dunno last Sabbath church, when 1 looketl op In tho core aud see AHco in her white frock, and with all them yellow curls liangin' round hor faee, and alngin' so sweet like, why I couldn't holp thlnkin' of the angels."

Polly ain't no angel sim-.ly but don't y«u be downhearted, Polly: pretty fral* ain't goln' out o' tashiott Uii» year no, nor yaar nuther."

Inext JS,

father, how you do talk. As If

"Polly ilidn't know better nor to sot ktore by her good look*. Why, there WiWt'larissy Hunter, when was a girl •V- all perfwt wax doll, all pink and white, ana hair tho color o' sunshine well she /.went down to Falbridgo to visit her mother's relations, and took small.pox, and that was tho last of her good look*.

But that waVt the wust of It she was promised to Hiram Karlior.and when he soe sho wa'n't a bit like herself he up and married Kitty fJib#on. If It had a' been mo I'd rut her had Clarify, it she was humbly, for sho *ra* a «weet* tempered critter, and ft ml*hty naat housekoepjr but KUty Barber—Kitty (3llson that was—was a Tartar and a slattern to boot which ain't common. Kor you'll mostly see a slack, easy-g^ln' woman ain't got no more snap in ber V? nor a dish clout while a woman that's suthln* of a spHflro is »pt to be mortal spry and generally baa twoetwutin' day* to a week.H

Polly, who had l»egnn to dear off the auppar table, stoppe-1 midn-ay to the *pantry to boar the last of Aunt IVbby'a reminiscence*, and aho eoiild not help wondering ir It would taako a»y difler«noa to Johu If aho should

IOM

her

look* that Is, supposing they had ^ongsoed like Cfarima and Hiram. Of ooona, as things wer«, John wonld not care If her eyen should suddenly turn crooked in her bead, or if hor pretty littie nose wore to latum# gigantki propertlooa on the Instant.

John was what women call "h*J»dy about the bouse and often helped roily wash dbhea and peel potatoes sod on waah daya, in very cow weather, be had em boen known to hang out the clothes all of whioh Ms mother ud the neighbor women put down to the score f][ of John's kind heart, aud they were all agreed th*t be would inake a raodoi hit*band.

perhapn it was an abstraot goodness on John's part but if so, why was it that nobody had ever kuown him to show the least oonoern about old Mrs. Moss' rheumatic hands when she took Polly's place at the wasbtubT though he was seen to hold Polly's rosy digits tor Ave minutes just to warm them, you know, and then send her indoors while he battled manfully with wet, flapping sheets and stringy towels.

As time went on, however, lie seemed to lose ail his little helpiul way# about tlie bouse the water bucket might stand empty half tho day without his perceiving it—Polly migst reduce her fingers to pink jelly driving nails totraln her rosea —John never seemed to kyow it or to Ituagino that any tuwistanoe was needed or expected Irom him. Jle was not actually unkind, butthwe was a difference he did not appropriate Polly as be mod to do heal wars gave way when Simeon Hrown or Hall Burton or any other ol the young men came about. Ho was away a good deal iu the evenings,«nd when he aid remain at homo

WHS

usual

ly absorbed in tho newspaper* or a wK)k or else ho was busy with accounts and must not be disturbed.

Polly wonders nornetimen if John bus forgotten all about that seene in tho old kitcheu, one fpricg morning, not so very long ago. She does not wonder if he has gotten over lying fond of her —as he said bo would cn'deavor to do—she is quite sure that ho u». Though why sho should cry abwtit it i« not quite

clear

to Polly but she dt«?s, nevertheless, and the briny dioj9 fall slowly and mournfully into the dish-pan. When she has "done up" tho dishes and wept her "little weep." she bathes her face In cool spring water, ami without even one tiny peep into the little cracked looking glass goes into the sitting room.

Uncle Silas was enjoying his pipe and the newspapers together, and Aunt Debby was counting oft tho loops on her knitting needles preparatory to "setting tho heel in a gray yarn stocking. ...ose dimensions proclaimed that it was intended to warm and comfort, during the storms of the coming winter, one of a pair of feet at present reposing inside of Undo Silas' far from Liliputian slippers. John is not present, so the room is very still it is wors even than the great empty kitchen, for the crickets keep that from being utterly dreary, but the ticking of the tall clock in its dim corner only makes the sitting room seem more lonesome. Polly tokos her work and aits down in her little sewing chair, and wonders wlut ails hersell and everybody and everything. She longs to throw her work into the tire and herself on the lloor and cry her e^ves out but what would Aunt Debby say to suchdoiugs? Ah, if tho Aunt Deb bys conW look beneath tho surface, oftentimes, what an uplifting of hands and eyes would take place, to b^suro! Bat Aunt Debby "set up" her heel undisturbed, and getting into plain sailing, sho remarked how quiet every cue was. This eliciting no response, sho next supposed it would b*.' late before John got uotne then Polly asked where John 1? lie's gone to Deacon Brown's to core ineetin' Simeon cum along this arter110011 and gin lit in notice. 1 think you'd a better went too. Polly you don't seem pert them's nuthin' like a bit o' company to liven young folks up, or old ones either."

Polly did not say anything, but a pang shot through her heart ami she wanted to cry worse than over—what ould ail her?

Uncle Silas laid his paper down and cast a shrowd glance at Polly over his glasses, then hemmed and said, "Mother, do 3011 think it's tho singin' and nuthin' else that takes our John to Deacon Brown's so oft:m of an o\enin

Whv, what should it bo? You don't think he's under 'conviction,' do you? I shouldn't wonder, though, now that you mention it, if ho was. Thorn's powerful sannons Parson Hammond's been preachin' lately—most enough to wake the dead, 'specially in the graves under the meetin' house winders. Well, if it's tho Lord's will to call him, it would be a 'niazin' comfort to me to see him brought into the fold afoie I die. Not but what John's alius been a good son as things is—tho' ruther fond o' tiddlin' and daticin' maybe, and carin' less for praver ineetin's than I could wish— still I dunno ns he'* much different to most voung folks that way: I used to be uther chipp«r myself when 1 was a grtl."

Yon'rt on the wrong track, mother, entirely."1* How would you liku the Deacon's Alice for a darter?"

I/i, susr.!" ami Aunt. l)etbv dropjtcd her knitting and-*ured at I'nelo Sdas with wide distended eves for tho space of thirty sceonds but nothing short of paralysis could longer deprive that excellent woman of tho use of her tonguo. 41

Deary me! well, to be sure! but why not? Alice is a good sensible gal as well as a hansum one,and not a bit spilt with bein' an only darter, as gals is ant to be, and then the Deacon's forehanded and his medder jines onrn. Well, father, considerin' everything, John might go futber and faro wus." 80 I think, mother not that Alice would be my ch'ico—she's too still and white but then It's not mo that's goin' to marry her if Johu fancies her It's *11 right—I shan't ask him to look at her through my glasses. No, no let hiui please himself and he'll pleasome. ky something to keep hor silence from being observed hut if her I if" bad depended on tho articulation of a dozen syllables sho could not have spoken them. Poor Pullv! she had found out at hist what ailed her she loved John with her who)© warm little heart, and now bo would go and marrr Alioo Brown and—n lump got into f'ollv's throat jnst hero And threatened to choke her, and before sho know it a sob eooaped, and Polly to»k refuge In a deceitful tit of coughing, which, like all falseness, carried its own punishment with it—for it distracted Aunt Debby** attention fimn her future daughter-in-law awl otwoeatratod it on Polly's self.

Why. child, yera'vo rtmgltt a dr-fTal hard cold all to onst you must take a tablespoortfnl of Iwmrhound balsam right away I never heard a drier cough nor Ibatof ywiro—it sounds just like {'ynthy Beaom*sdid the winter she took the gallop'n* consuoiptlon, and was dead and buried all inside of six month*." And Aunt !*bby bustled about and got out the big bottle from the ehlmney eupbuant, and measured out a done Of the hoar bound balsam. Folly knew that remonstranoe would b* worse than useless, so she swallowed the bitter-sweet mixture without protest. Then she was sent to bed with direoUoas to to to tleep right away, and with the coroRxtUs assurance that if the couch did not stwumb to the balsam before morning John should go for old Dr. Drugen tbm first thing after breakfast.

Polly's mistake was one tbat te often made ny young girls who are too much taken up with tht pleasant story of their own five1* to «top to think or aak quest ions of their hearts, we are none of as much given Introspection in our "salad days and when at last we do take to aoel-probfnff It is usually too late to benefit by our dmoverioi.

Polly—(ho orphan child of a far-awa cousin—had been adopted by Uncle Si las and Auut Debby when very small, so she and John had grfcwn up together like brother and sister, and aho had really never once thought of John as a lover, or a possible husband, until his rather abrupt proposal bad startlod hor into the declaration that she did not love him, when tho truth was she had been loving him every day of her life without in the leott suspecting it. Polly did not go o(T in a galloping consumption like Cynthia Besom, nor did she pine away and die of broken heart— healthy people never do either—she just lived on from day to day, as we all do and must in spito of disappointment and heartbreak. Sho did not even droop, but held up her head like a bravo little tlo'wer that will not heed tho rude winds, but amiios through all their buttettlngs. Perhaps hope was not yet plucked up by the roots for hope is a sturdy plant that flourishes in sterile soils, and will sustain life a longtime on very scant nourishmrnt.

It was Dacember now, and the young folks of Sleepy Hollow wero met in Uncle Silas Hriggs' woods for a skating frolic on tho woodland pond. When the merriment was as its height, nnd the skaters flying in all directions, every ear was startled by the loud cracking of the frozen surface then camo a crash a heavy crv—and iu a few moments later John Itriggs lay «t l'ollv's feet dead.

At least so it seemed to Polly then the sun went down and night came in a moment, and thero lav Polly in a swoon on the dead man's broast! Hut John was not dead, or even much hurt, only chilled to insensibility, and consciousness returned before any one had recovered presence of mind to remove Polly from her resting place on his bosom.

44Good

gracious! Polly's fainted

cried Susy Brown "run quick, somebody, and fetch some water." The girls had rallied by this timo and crowded round Polly like bees round a crocus bed in sprinr, and she was in danger of being killed by kindness, when Simeon Hrown rushed up with a cap full of icy water and dashed it slap in Polly's face. That woke her up in hurry—sho gasped, oponed horeyop, and seeing -tho group or frightened faces about her, asked: "What'sthe matter Poor Polly! sho know immediately what tho matter was—she had mado a fool of horsolf— and now everybody would know that she was in love with John—with Alice Hrown's lover—oh,1 dear!—and to mend matters Polly bogan to cry.

But where is John Polly cannot see him anywhere. Polly's senses had not come back fully, it seems, for she did not know that she was reposing quite comfortably in John's arms. "Don't cry, Polly," said that audacious youth himself as I10 kissed her on the mouth as bold as brass, or, as Susy Hrown said afterwards, "Just as if Polly had been a baby and John had been her mother then turning to the skaters: "See here, I'm going to take Polly homo now, and you'd best bo spry if yon mean to keep Christmas in my style* this year." Aud with that he gathered Polly up and carried her oil.

I supposo that Polly's mistake was rectified on the way home, for thero was a wedding at Uncle Silas Driggs' on Christmas Eve, on which occasion Aunt, Debby was heard to deliver herself after tho following characteristic manner: 'You never kin tell till afterwards how a weddin'sgoin to turn out, 'specially these days when things is so onsartain, and 'married folks don't think no moro cuttin' loose from each other nor men »es o' quittin' the grocery busuesx. Why «'i vce bills is getting to be about a*' common as peddlers' license and ps easy *0 in got. For my part 1 don't think much o' sech folks. I say it's pesky mean not to stick to.a bargain after it's mado and signed and sealed, even if it wa'n't a wicked sin and Hat ag'in scriptcr. Thank goodue&g, I ain't a feared o' John and Polly never wantiu' no bill.
