The Courtship oi Keturah Kiddle.

Clump! clump! went Farmer Lizler's boots along the brick walk leading to Mrs. Selchow'a dairy, and "Here ye be!" lie said in his sharp falsetto, a minute later. •'Yes," said Mrs. Selchow, looking ap from the milk she was skimming, •'Walk In, Brother Lazier."

Brother Lazier walked in. He was a small dry mau, so stiff in the joints that he progressed by a series of jerks suggestive ot Mrs. Jarley. He had a dusty complexion, a miniature desert of Sahara on the top of his head, surrounded by clamps of sandy hair, and his very voice seemed to have dried up ana cracked.

He sat down apon a pile of empty butter firkins, with a preoccupied air, but immediately rising, crossed the room, alternately taking a few steps and then stopping short, like a robbin. At last he remarked: "Uncommon dry spell we are having."

Mrs. Selchow assented cordially and this subject being disposed of, a silence ensued, during which Mr. Lazier aud his green cotton umbrella coutlnued to mount guard. "How's your mother inquired Mrs. Sslcbow, making a skirmish toward conversation. '•Marin's considor'ble poorly, I ex

ect," her son "aud that's what ter speak about that is, I meant ter say—" Here Brother Lazier grasped his umbrella convulsively, and paused. "Sho ain't so young as she once were," he resumed, "and it's hard on her to take the heft of the work." Another

ause during which our brother wiped brow with a pictorial handkerchief illustrating scenes in the life of the Prodigal Son. "Yes, said Mrs. Selohow, foreseeing what was coming, and anxious to help her visitor out—"Yes, you need somebody there that can take right bold and ahead. Your mother is setting on years, as you say, and the place needs a young woman to see after it." "That, now, was what I was a coming to," responded Mr. Lazier, much gratified. "I've been a thinking this some time, whether or no Scripter wa'n't about right, and I've oome a purpose to ask you if so be you'd be so good as to pick out some likely girl for me. You see, a young man like me feels kinder dllfodent round amongst the girls," he added, stroking his hay colored goatee, I which was plentifully streakeu with gray. "Not out what there'd be a plenty of 'em that would jump at the I cnance," he resumed, glibly—for, the I YSars onco down, Mr. Lizler felt perfectly at ease—"but, vou see, there aro so many I can't make up my mind, aud I waut you to sorter tell 'em over, so't I ,t can chalk 'em off. You see, Sister Selchow, I want a master hand to work.

She must be ablo to hetohel round cau't havo no poor, weakly creaetr. But then, you see, the smart kiud aro apt to bo topping. I can't have that. She rnusn't be a trying to usurp authority nor nothing I'm particular about that. She must be obliging—be willing to help about the chores, and that'll save my keeping a boy. She must be ekernomloal, and know how to live on plain vittle, and not be a wanting a new oaliker every little while. I want she should |f be able to make fust-rate batter and cheese. Mother is falling off a little on butter I didn't get as much by ten cents as I'd orter for that last box. And If f'pbe has a few hundreds in the bank, It 1 wonld come handy, for, you know, our place has a mortgage. Now, you see," ue added, "I alrrt particular but these 'ere few things I do insist upon." "H'm," said Mrs. Selohow, watching the milk as it dripped through the ikimuier. "Porhaps Widow Voss would juit you." "Number one," said the bachelor, in a businesslike volae, producing a lump of ohalk, with which he prooeeded to make a mark on the dairy il or. "Now lot's see" ho wont on, assuming a judicial air, "Widder Voss Is as spry as a cricket —good tempered, too but then I never took much stock In wldders, and I'm a little skittish of 'em.

"Handsome is that handsome does," returned Mrs. Selcnow. ''Keturah has great deal of sonod good sense, and her butter took the prise at the cattle show last rail." "Well, here she goe»—number four" reluctantly admitted Mr. Lazier. "I'm a great r-ind I'll go aud see her—If it wa'n't beln' so prodigious plain featured. Vv ell, I'm greatly obliged to you, Sister Salchow, and I'll do as much for you sometime," said the bachelor, with an innocence which upset Sister Selchow'a gravity, and with it the pan of skim milk she was emptying into the pigs' pail. The unconscious author of the mishap was already ambling peacefully through the Selohow garden, bright with phlox and poples, with a rear guard of melons and cucumbers. "Hezeklah Lazier!" said his mother, a few hours later, "I do declar' for't, if you ain't a growln' deaf! I've bio wed the horn e'ena'most times enough to bring down the walls o' Jericho, and here ye be out behind the house all the time!" "Sho, now," protested her son "1 concluded you forgot to blow the horn. I was a calculatin' whether or no 'twas best to buy another cow," he added in an explanatory tone.

I don't see but we shall hava to, if you keep on at this rate hero ye be a helpln' yourself to butter again when you've got three pieces on your plate a'ready," remarked the old lady. "I'vo a great mind—I'll go and see her this afternoon—the cow, I mean," hastily added Hezeklah, putting salt in his tea. "It's right on the road to Jones'" mused the same individual, after dinner, as he leaned pensively over the

en chewing a straw. "It wouldn't much, as I know of, and jest now I may ketch her unaware. -Wa'al, anyhow I can call, and if I don't conclude to take her, I'll go on and see Jones' cow, so 'twon't be wasting time."

Half an hour later Farmer Lazier and his green cotton umbrella might have been seen wending their way along the road. "I'm e'ena'most a mind not to stop today," murmured Mr. Lazier, as he caught sight of the white cottage with its porch covered by morning glories. "I don't know as I'm afraid to go in—T don't know as I be," he pursued, wip ing his faee with the Prodigal Son.

While be was deciding this question, a burst of song floated out through the open window. It was as old-fashioned hymn the words were homely, the tune was commonplace but the soul of the woman who sang seemed to fill and overflow both song and words. Unconsciously the listener drew nearer before he knew it he had passed up the little walk bordered with verbenas and clove pinks, and reached the dazzling row of milk pans set to dry upon the porch. "I'll ketch her unaware," repeated the bachelor, with a triumphant chuckle. But alas for his precautions! his green cotton umbrella slid out of his band, and, with crash worthy of one of Jove's thunderbolts, knocked down the whole row of pans. "Why, Mr. Lazier, how do yon do?" said Miss Kiddle, coming to the door to send away Mr. Jones' dog, as she supposed, and looking somewhat surprised to find the intruder of a different order, 'Yes, it is an uncommon dry spell," remarked the visitor, absently.

The kitchen had not a suspicion of dirt anywhere, the dinner dishes appeared to have been washed ages ago, the stove shone like a star of the first magnitude, and Miss Kiddle herself wore the most immaculate of calicoes and white collars. She was plain, but her face was full of character and goodness, which even Mr. Lazier oould not help feeling, and his small soul seemed to shrink as he looked at her, till it almost rattled within him. "What charming weather we are having!" said the hostess.

Yes—good for pumpkins," admitted our utilitarian friend. "How is your mother now?" asked Miss Keturali, trying to keep the conversational ball rolling.

She means business, sure enough," thought the bachelor, with internal consternation.

She ain't so young as she once were," ho answered aloud after which remarkable announcement he relapsed into silence. He was surmising what Mr. Kiddle was worth when he died, and calculating how much, at an interest of seven per cont, it would amount to by this time.

Miss Iveturah attempted to insert an other conversational wedge. ''Mr. Lazier," she began, "are you calculating"— Mr. Lazier gave a guilty start—"are you caculating to raise many melons this year?" "No," Bald the farmer, looking much relieved. "Melons are going to be rather a slim crop this year, as far as I know." "I have a few vines, but they haven't done much." pursued Miss Kiddle. "I find it troublesome to get a man to do my planting when it ought to be done, they are all so driven right in planting time. "There!" thought Mr. Lazier, feeling in his pocket for the Prodigal Son "she means that for a hint—women are so suspicious." "I've let my land out at shares this year," went ou the unconscious Keturab. "Mr. Jones has taken the garden and I have all the vegetables I can use."

Our wary friend felt that it was high time for an explanation. I was just a going by to look at Jones' cow, and I thought I'd stop spell and see you too, and I guess I must be getting along now." "It's lucky none of the neighbors happen to be going by," he thought as he walked out of Miss Keturah's door yard, Ignorant that at ttfat very instant Cornelius Jones, Jr., was sweeping the horlsrm with a spyglass from his father's barn window. "Well, it's plain to be seen she's all ready to jump at the chanoe," soliloquized Mr. Lasier. "I believe she would have made me a proposal herself if IM stayed there five minutes longer. It's lucky I got away when I did, for I should bate to tell her It was on account of her looks. But it won't do: she's too plain favored. It's bard on tier, though it's evident her mind is sot on me. Howsomever, I don't know as I'm beholden to make such a sacrifice of my feelings."

He reaohed this conclusion and Mr. Jones' barn yard simultaneously. The only visible occupant was a bantam rooster, which crowed valiantly at Mr. Lasier'a approach,to whose overwrought imagination he seemed to be saying, "Ke ftt-u-rah The termer threw a stlok at this fowl, bat, adroitly dodging it, be reiterated, Ke fu-u-rah!"

There was a sort of smothered explosion somewhere overhead in the barn, but Hexekiah was too busy with bis own meditations, which were not so pious as his attitude—to beed anything else. "I swan!" h» ejaculated, which peculiar exprwwi «H rofsjht have been suggested by his quatio adventure. He

There was no possibility of mistake this time, it was Keturah Kiddle and nothing els9, and it certainly was not the bantam. The shipwrecked adventurers in the enchanted island of Prospero were not more distraught by the strange noises of that isle than wa3 Mr. Lazier by this serial voice. He dashed wildly out of the barn yard, with Mr. Jones' dog Towzar in hot pursuit. "Hezekiah," said Mrs. Lazier, at supper, "I'd as lieve you'd go down to the corners and get me some molasses and a codfish to-night." "Wa'al," said Mr. Lazier and half an hour later his green chariot and one eyed horse drew up before the institution known as "the store." The chronic group of loungers which were forming a sort of feuce around Cornelius Jones, Jr., could not have drawn on more funeral countenances when Lazier enter ed if be had been a sarcophagus and the silence was unbroken until he asked for his molasses,

Young Jones sauntered carelessly up to a keg of butter which stood upon the counter. *K. K.' Whose butter is this be asked, "That butter," said the storekeeper, "was made by Miss Kiddle."

iddle? What! the one that lives on the cross roads, over our way?" inquired Cornelius, gravely.

Mr. Lazier began to regard a string of button moulds with deep interest. Well, now," resumed Cornelius, "I beard somebody say that she got more for her butter than anybody else in town, and her cows are not Alderney either. By the way," addressing the audience in a general way, "they do say Miss Kiddle's father left her about two thousand dollars. If I was a marrying man, now, I don't know but what I'd try my luck, Don't know but what I shall as it is. I want a wife that is smart enough to support me, and Keturah could make a handsome living if she was tied up in a meal bag. When I was mowing our west lot I used to go by her house every morning about five o'clock, and I declare if she wasn't out weeding in tha garden, with all her milk pans drying. I believe she makes her bed before she gets up, and washes her dishes before breakfast."

Mr. Lazier never thought of the codfish till he was half way home. As the horse turned into the dooryard and stoppod in front of the dilapidated barn, his master's meditation came to a sudden end, and he exclaimed, "I've got it!" Scrambling out of the bnggy, without stopping to unharness, he rustled toward the barn, umbrella in hand. "If it falls toward the stable, I'll do it," he said, plaoing the green cotton oracle tip downwards upon the floor. He let go of it with a trembling band. It toppled over and fell with a decisive thud upon the very threshold of the calves' stable. "I'm a going down to the store tonight to get your codfish, marm," said Hezeklah, on the following evening.

I'll get my fish on the way," he thought, "RO'S

"Ke-tu-u-rah!" added the bantam helping him out. Mr. Lazier turner very ted,"and looked first atftke milking stool an then at the splashes ou his pants. "Co-boss! co-boss! co-boss!" called Mr. Jones, opening the gate which led into the lane. Presently a griddle oake colored Alderney made her apnearanoe, and walked solemnly toward the two men.

Mr. Lazier proceeded to punab her ribs in a scientific manner. "How many quarts does she give, now?" be inquired. "Not much of a milker, I Judge. Alder neys nevor are," be added, with the scornful air of indifference which beoomes the experienced buyer. "She's a first-class milker, sir," said Mr. Jones. "Eight quarts a day, or you may have her for nothing. Then, you know, an Alderney's milk is half cream anyway so if you want her for butter making, she'll be worth more to you than one that gives more that isn't

rich. Why, we never put any carrots in the butter in winter—juBt as yellow in January as Juno. Why, sir, her butter took the prize at the cattle show." "So Mrs. Selchow said," rejoined Mr. Lazier, whose mind had slightly wandered. "Mrs. Selchow!" repeated Mr. Jones, in some surprise, for ho was oonsolous that his last statement had been fabri cated lor tbo occasion, "what does she know about tb« cow?" "Cow, oh, no! I meant—that is, I must have been thinking of something else," blundered Mr. Lazier, looking uneasily at the bantam, which

Never flitting, never flitting, Still was silting, still was sitting, Just above" the barn yard gate. "Now, sir, you know what she Is worth. She is worth more than the value of the money, you can see yourself. You can't do better than to take her. Of course it don't make any difference to me, but if you know a good chance when yon see it, If you know what's for your own interest, you'll take her, and she'll never disappoint you." "If she wa'n't so humbly," murmered Mr. Lazier, absently, for, by this time, "His eyes were with his heart, and that was far away." "Hey! what are you talking about?" asked Jones. "Ke tu-rah!" cried a voice overhead, in imitation of the bantam, "Ke-tu-rah Kiddle!"

to make sure of it."

While Mr. Lazier was haggling over the price of his fish, for, like Mrs. Gilpin, "although on pleasure bent," he had a frugal mind," he heard a remark which arrested his attention.

A young Atlas who was supporting the doorway asked, in an unnecessarily loud voice: "Do yon caikerlate that Jones junior and Keturah Kiddle will conclude to make a match on*t "Wa'al, it sounded that way, from what he said here the other night. Pretty good haul for him," responded one of a couple of caryatides who were holding up the posts of the piazza.

Mr. Lazier pricked up his ears like a war bnrse. He grasped bis umbrella, and the touch of that oracle of his destiny seemed to inspire him. "I can tell you as mucb about it, I s'pose, as any man," he said "and I can tell you they dint a going to make a match on't, nor nothing like IL I caikerlate to inarry her myself. She ain't so handsome as notne, but I oan overlook such things. You tell youug Jones 'there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip and the prospective bridegroom walked away, with lightning In his eye and the oodfish under his arm.

As soon as be canght sight of Miss Kiddle's cottage his pace slackened. "It's too late to back down now," he soliloquised "I've let the oat out of the bag. If she wa'n't so— Wa'al, she'll appreciate what it is to get a well favored man more than If sbe was one of the handsome kind herself. It would be a drefful disappointment to her if I shonld fail her at this p'int and Mr. Las'.er walked up to the door feeling like the good Sa.niritan, and entirely unconscious o: the incongruity of the codfish.

Miss Keturah was at that moment putting on her shawl to go to class meotiuse, and met her suitor on the threshold. "Miss Kiddle," he began, impressive-

k'

ly, "I've oome to"—be bad nearly said, "tell yon some good news"—"I've come to see you on business. I'm a man of few words, so I oome to the p'int at once. I won't detain you long"—speaking very fast, lest bis mind should ohange. "I've beard such good reports of you that, thinking of it over, I've oome to the conclusion that I couldn't find a woman better calkerlated to rfuit me thanyou."

Miss Keturah looked as if a meteoric stone had fallen at her feet. "Why, Mr. Lasier," she said, "this is really very un* expected. I—" "Ob, of course it's natural you should be flustrated at first. I oughter bsve broke it to you more gradual but yon needn't try to put it into words. No matter if you don't kuow what to say, we've got an understanding now, and that's enough," interrupted the lover. "Ob, as to knowlug what to say, I know just as well to-night as I ever shall, and I'm obliged lo you for your consideration, Mr. Lazier, but I really must decline your proposal and Miss Kiddle pinned her shawl more closely around her, as if no more remained to he said. "Now you know you don't mean It," remonstrated her admirer. "I know women they always Bay no when they mean yes." "But I mean no," said the cruel Keturah. "You don't know your mind," persisted Mr. L. "Yes, I do," said Miss Kiddle, firmly "and I know it won't change about this matter. I am in earnest." "Oh, now don't! You can't mean it. You don't know what you're a doing," cried the rejected suitor, in consterna tlon. "Don't say no. I'd sot my mind on you from the first. You aro just the one for me. You're just right in every ly. I can't never find your equal," cried Mr. Lazier, his blessings brighten ing as they seemed about to take their flight. He tried to wipe bis eyes on the codfish, under the delusion that it was the Prodigal Son. "I am sorry to cause you any unhap plness but I have several reasons, any one of which I consider sufficient," said Miss Kiddle. "What be they?" entreated the bache lor, with a vague suspicion of Jones floating through his mind.

The bard hearted Keturah hesitated "I would rather not give them," she said at last. "I insist on bearing one of 'em," persisted Hezekiah, thinking, "Sbe can't have any objection to me 'Well, I suppose you will consider the one I am going to give as one which no sensible person would be influenced by, and will call it 'a woman's reason,' but the fact is, Mr. Lazier, you are really too homely. Iam not at all handsome myself, and I consider that one plain looking person in a family is enough Good nignt."

Mr. Lazier is still a bachelor, and to this day dreads to go to the store, where he is liable to be reminded that "there is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip but Keturah Kiddle has lately married a well-to-do mill owner, and lives in a manufacturing town, where she evolves mission classes, sewing Bcbools and temperance clubs to her heart's content, and I am told that her husband is not only an excellent "provider," bnt a remarkably fine looking man.

"Is it possible that Mr. Godfrey is up and at work, and cured by so simple a remedy "I assure you it is true that he is entirely cured, and with nothing bnt Hop Bitters and only ten davs ago his doctors gave him up and said he must die!" "Well-a-day! If that is so, I will go this minute and get some for poor George. I know hops are good."
