"It's alleys a-running over with the least jolting but I pose I'll hev to. Fix it as tigiit as you can, and hev everything in readiness by seven. Mind, I don't wait for no one, you know, Santhy Ann." "()li, don't you worry,' said the farm
wife, absently, solving tho problem in her mind of how far to make twentylive dollars go, aud how to suit prices to the exigencies of bet many needs. "There's table linen, an' towels! sho ejaculated, mentally, "an* apiece or two of cotton cloth, an' things for Achsy— 'twon't do not to git her a gown or two, a ribbon an' anew hat.

IW Santha Ann. She had been imposed upon bv some good neighbor of limited knowledge, and thought that all bur rooms in all tho principal cities had been closed. Mart had never in his life lieen, so to say, drunk but once or twice he had been overcome to the extent of taking a broomstick for Santha Ann, and sour milk for molasses *tll, that was In the dusk of long years ago. As a general thing, he never touched the "critter," as his wife called it. "Now don't let any one impose on ve, Mart," she said, ehueking him under the chin with wifely jollity, as she tied his madder red "hankereher" round hi# big brown neck. "You ve got a good deal of vour own money 'long with ye, wolf as mine spend as little as ye can, but git things that's needed.' "And don't forgit to boy me ft book, pa," added Aohsft.

right in~here to this restaurant, and 111 settle with you."' The two men entered. Lnnch was ordered, and with the lunch wine. "I told Santhy Ann I wouldn't drink no liquor," said Mart. "You see, it goes to my head before I know it, an' I've got considerable business to do." "Liquor! You wouldn't call this mild and harmless beverage liquor, I hope? It has positively no intoxicating effects. You might drink sixty glasses, and then think and walk straight. I've drank it all my life." "Well, seein's you say," said the easy farmer, "I s'pose I may just drink a little. Only one glass will do."
But mechanicallv Mart drank as often and of
as his friend filled up the glass, though he was consciou#of no loss stead'ness, still he was so far under the influence that he hardly knew where he was after he had found his way to the first class store to which Santha Ann had directed him. "What will you have?" asked the polite clerk. "I'll hev a cheer, providin'#you can 'commodate me," said Mart, looking impassively at the clean shaved face before him. "I feel a little top heavy."
A chair was brought. Mart took oft his hat, and placed it on the floor, and sat down. Then he began to fumble his pockets, first his coat aud then bis trousers, then his vest, and finally, to the amusement of two or three of tne clerks ranged round, who wore wa,ching tho proceedings, he turned the list out of an inside pocket of his vest, together with Santha Ann's roll of bills. 'Bleege mo by reading them ere, if you please," he said, with a solemn roll of his eyes, giving the list to the clerk. "Santha
Ann's wrote what she wants."
"Indeed, my friend, I can't make it out," said
the
clerk, after looking it over.
'K-a-l-i-k-e-r.' I suppose that means calico," he said, after spelling it out. "Well, yes, I s'pose so. Santha AnnTS more of a scholard than I be," said the farmer. "Let me see. I guess I can git through it. Yos, I see, kaliker seedsucker—I don't know what that is cotton, a hundred yards, that means spool cotton, I cal'late ball baby stockings I wonder whose baby she means: we am got none. 'Catch a mare—Well, that is cur's. I don't catcfc no mares on this expedition.'" "She probably means seersucker—an article for ladies' dresses—-Balbriggan stockings, and cashmere," said the clerk politely, behind a smothered laugh. "We'll, I'm glad you know—I don t, was Mart's answer and together they made out tho list. "You had better take your cotton and noedles by the box wo alwayB sell that way to parties out of town," sam the dork. "Hero is something I think moans satteen," he added, as he pointed to a word underlined—it was satinet. "Well, we'll put these things up to the best of our ability, and have them ready for you in an hour." "Very well," said Mart, thickly. "I'll bo hore by that time. Help yourself out o' them twenty-five dollars, and gi me tho change if there is any if not, I ve got plenty of cash
and
he swaggered
out of the store. At a late hour ho came back, his wagon so loaded up that there was scarcely room to stow away the numerous bundles brought out of tho dry goods house. His gait was unsteady and his speech almost unintelligible oy this time, for he had imbibod several times since lunch, and even bought some of the article to take home with him.
Meantime his women folks passed a hnppy and comfortable day. There was little worte to do, and no dinner to got. Santha Ann got out lier sowing machine and gave it a thorough overhauling preparatory to tho work she was expecting to begiu on the morrow. Achsa anticipated the sensation sho would make in her new hat with a bunch of blood-red porpies perched atop. "It would be nice to set in the oongre{ration, so folks could sec," sho said, half regretfully, to her mother. "Up in the choir nobody knows whether you have news things'or not." "Thov'll know it, Achsy,' said her mother, reflectively. "Hats is conspikyus nowadays.''
Just then one of the neighbors came in. It was Widow Norris. with her everlasting tattling—and tattling, as Achsa Raid to herself. Ono of the widows friends had just come in by the cars, and brought news that he had met "the deacon," and that he was stumbling tipsy— as ti
psy as
over was. Tho curious widow
did not come to retail this bit of news. Oh uo! Sue was no slanderer of her neighbors, but
sho
sat so still and solemn
giving now Santha Ann aud now Achsa the benefit of her silent sympathy, in the shape of long pitiful glances^ that mother and daughter were uneasy in her presence, and could not tell why.
But tho widow had come to stay. Hanthn Ann put the cover on her sewing maohino, got tea, and sat down to wait. Tho widow waited also. "I nover knew Mart to bo gone so long before," said Santha. visibly anxious. "P'r aps ho had a Dig load," said the widow, in sepulchral tones. "Hut you mustn't indulge in vague speculations I'll stay till he comes."
This littlo speech the widow delivered with pitying accents. It seemed to imply that she''would stand between them and harm, whatever happened.
The meal over, Santha Ann washed the dishes in silence. Seven, eight, nine o'clock struck, and still no sign of the deacon.
At ten Santha Ann went out, for the twentieth time, and peered down the moon-lighted road. She was very un osvsv but when she reflected that Mart ha a g» "1 deal of business to attend to, and Achii suggp usd that he had on one or two occasions before staid overnight, she gave him up at eleven, and they all went to bed, the widow Included, who kept her own counsel.
Could they have seen, not more than two miles from home, in a secluded hollow the object of their solicitude fast asleep, the jaded horses asleep as well, the moonlight falling upon the portly figure of ibe deacon, whose hat was pulled down over hi» face, they would hardly have dreamed of midnight assassins, boarding house expenses, aud cattle feed, as did Santha Ann the whole night long.
All would hare been well, for the dea eon, at hsast, as the sun ruse aud he rose too, had he not applied to the bottle for comfort. Some way he dreaded to meet Santha Ann, when he realized that be had beeu all night coming home, and bis befogged brain craved mere of the stimulant wnii h'had so basely betrayed him.
At ^ty sunrise the three women sat dowe to breakfast, and that meal over, ORtns the thud of horses' feet and a shrill voice bc\Hug about tho bush to the time of "We won't" (very loud) "go home till morning we w-won't" (still louder) tr home till Sunday morning (hie) anyhow.'*
Sai.r.a Ann 1. ked at Achsa with the heart in iitr face. "Sun: iio girl, (hie) come out here |P*e up. Dob—come out here! I've rung vca home a present—half a docea of them—come along, Santhy, long a !*ng—upsy dumpsey. Santhy Ann."
Well, (lie disgraceful truth was out. Santha, seeing the horror-struck face of

the widow, as well as the pity in her eyes, straightened herself at once. Her pride took tire. "Achsv,"she said with flashing eyes, "your father's been mighiy luckyi or he wouldn't 'a took a single glass o' »eer shouldn't wonder ef he'd made a thousand dollars!"
Then thev both went out. The farmer was literailv happy. He sang as he shook hands, sang as he unloaded, roared when he saw the widow, and wanted to dance with her, and finally, after drinking a strong cup of tea, he sat down so.new hat subuued, while the widow discreetly left and went into tho kitehen "Weil, Santhy," Lnughed herhnsband,
as
the hired man took tho horses away, "see ef I havn't remembered ye! An' I didn't tech no liquor, I only took some beverage once or twice."
Santha Ann gave him a look. "Well, I didn t, Santby Ann, you can look for yourself. Them's the articles, but I don't know what they be." Then he sat back and sang, "CJIUO, ye disconsolate." "Seems ef I ain't felt so musical inclined for a year. See, there's a c-carpet s-sweeper, an a cradle, an' an ice screamer, an'lots more things." "Man alive! 'exclaimed Santha Aun, indismay. "what on earth do we want of a carpet sweeper, we havn't a carpet in the house.' -f "Git some, then, Santhy Ann—lots of em they're jest laying round loose at that store. Git plenty, or tho carpet sweeper'll be kinder lonesome, he added, with a maudlin grin. ^An'what'do we want of a cradle? was the next question. "Well, it sorter reminded ^»e, fcanthy Ann, looking far back'ard into futer years, that we was all babies once—all babies once Santhy Ann, the recollection was kind o' subduin' an I sorter wanted that cradle to meditate over. You know it's from tho cradle to the grave. Tho good book tells us, Santhy Ann, 'Beloved brethren, we're all pilgrims and travelers,' an' even Bun van's "Pilgrim's Progress,"laid its infaut head in a cradle. So I jest got it for a remembrancer, Santhy Ann, from the cradle to the grave!"
He took out his handkerchief and held it to his eyes. Achsa flounced out of the room, and with an expletive not at all filial ran up to her own room. "But what do you mean bv an icecreamer?" tearfully urged his wife, "that thing with the churn handle?" "That is it, Achsy Ann—I mean Santhy Jane you kin make gallons of ice cream for Achsy and me." "But we never see ice here, cried his wife at her wits' end. "Hire Spot Pond next winter, Santhy Ann, jeatliire Spot Pond, the hull of it, aud we'll hev a corner in ice ourselves, and make enough ice cream to last all
"And what is this?" asked his w^e, picking up a large roll. "Lots o' sheet music for Aejwy 'nough to last her long as she lives. "Got it at a bargain, Santhy Ann, got them all at bargains, horseshoes an' all"
Santha Ann groaned. "But Achsy hain't got no planner," sho said despairingly. "No£ no^orgA nor anything." "We can buy 'em, Santiago They'll be hand to hev iirnn^ muttered the farmer, nowfha "And this awful thing!" Sa on, picking up a bjdggjfe stee ed hat—^•'thoawfulkMThi and the*i!cHraest. Jt's a Bia hat." Tip'Tain't, IgrtAt Achsy, cheap, too."^* W
m.
This was too much. The threw tho hat across the floor, stumbled over bundles and boxes and farming implements, and made for the door. Sho turned around for a final question. "Did
you
womaC MN
get something for a suit of
clothes?" she asked, her facial muscles contorted. "I did, Santhv Ann. I did," ho answered, solemnly, with a side wave of his right hand. "I got fifty vards. Make 'em loose, Santhy Ann, make 'ein loose, there's plenty o' material."
Between laughing and crying the woman went out of the room, and sat down in the kitchen, almost ready to despair "Well," said the widow, who was now wiping up the last of the dishes, "no one can't sav out that he's a jrood prowider."
I'd lust like to hear anybody say any thing about it!" muttered Santha Ann, indignantly, and the widow meekly subsided. "Well, I s'pose I must fill the lamps, but heavens, he did get the ile?" said Santha. "It's a blessed mercy it didn roll out of tho wagon."
And she went slowly out in the hall, where the big five gallon jar stood. Through tho open door she could see that Mart had arisen and was staggering round. He saw her lift the can, and Huokc* "You bet your life, Santhy Ann, I had mis'ablo work keepin that thing from splodin'. I put my foot on it, an' held my umbreller over it to keep it out tho moonshine, an* the cork popped out, an'I stufled it up best I could. Don't you never send me after no kerosene no more." "I won't send you-after anything if I know myself," snapped his wife, and took up the can. "My gracious to goodness," she cried, as she tried to decant some of the fluid into a smaller flask, "what's'this?" "Kinder looks like molasses," said the widow. "Oh, heavens, it is! When will my troubles end?" sobbed Santha Ann. "Five gallons of good sweetening utterly spoiled! I do think that's the straw too much, an' I won't bear it, I won't. I'll send Mart about his bizness. To think! he must a' been drugged by some wicked designin' villen!" "Oh, well, men'll do them things," said the widow. "S'pose he went on that way right along?" "I'd—I kill him, I bleeve," muttered Santha, fiercely, then her eye fell on the roll that had done duty as a cork. She looked at it through tear dimmed eyes as she picked it up. It was creased and tumbled and smeared with molasses, but nevertheless she smiled a sickly smile and thrust it into her pocket.
Then she went back into the living room, and found that Mart bad fallen asleep on the lounge. She began to investigate again, opening bundle after bundle, some to her satisfaction, others fairly making her blood boil, as she afterwards intimated to Achsa. There were patent gridirons, coffee pots, broilers, a machine with ponderous wings for keeping off fliee, three rat traps o. different designs, aJ patented, boxes of needles, red cotton, and darning implements—things that she never could use. There were over forty yard* of sateen, a whole piece of calico, a shawl that would have matched Joseph's coat, which her affectionate spouse had doubtless intendon for a present, a rack of carda, a knitihild* rocking chair,
tin an
"No, I won't. I'll keep the hull of 'em, and if Mart ain't a wiser man after he gits over this spree, I'll know the reason why."
Then she went upstairs. Achsa stood by the window wiping ber eyes, she had been crying. "Never you mind, dear,' said her mother, her kind maternal heart stirred, "don't go to feel bad." "I don't s'pose he even thought of my hat," said the girl tearfully. "No, dear, not the right kind of one, but he—" "I knew he wouldn't. I'll never trust nim again." "But he did git lots of useful things, dear." "Yes, the carpet sweeper and the cradle, and the ice cream churn, and the—' "Well, well, let make the best on it, Achsy." "It'll be all over town," sobbed the girl. "Yes, but—" "And I can't go to chtireh next Sunday, and all the girls with their new hats. I won't wear the old one—I vow I won't." ""You shan't, my dear. We'll go into the citv ourselves by the train, you and I." "That's likeiy, when father's spent all his money and yours, too.'1 "Look here, Achsa!"
Achsa looked. What did she see? A big roll of bank bills which her mother flourished in the air over her head. "Oh, Achsa! there's a hundred dollars! How he come by em I don't know, an' how he kept 'em I can't say but there they are, and it almost takes my breath away to think where I found 'em. He had rolled 'em up and put 'em for a cork in the nose of the kerosene can, an* tho can was full of molasses." £ho stopped now to laugh. "Ef he hasn't been on a canter, then my name ain't Santha Ann. Wont lie he ashamed?—deacon of the church, and all! Oh, we've got him well under! He wont dare to say 'city' to me for a year to come no, not till the day of hi« death. I'm going to put the cradle in my bedroom right afore his eyes, an' the cream freezer, an' lots o' things an' I'm going to 'propriate that hundred dollars, too. I won't spend it all, though, only make up fo« the things he didn't git an' 111 buy a cftrpet, too, Achsa, so he didn't git that sweeper in vain." "Oh, mother," cried Achsa, drying her teal's, "How soon can we go?" "Well, I cal'late we can go to-day, if we can git ready in an hour. The widow says she'll stav here till we get back, so's git the dinner. We'll see how our shopping compares with his, an' we won't driuk no beverages, either. But, Achsy, I s'pect if we weren't the victims we'd split our sides over the deacon's purchases."
When Mart woke up about one o'clock, he found his dinner ready, and his wife and daughter missing. He had a confused idea that he had driven them both from homo, and was inconsolable till the widow handed a note from his wife, which ran thus: "Mart Ingram, you cum hoam boestly drunk this morning at sun up. Ain't you ashamed? an' you a deekon of the church!
you stopped up
osene can with. It won't be uile fault if I don't spend every cent of it, tho I do not know how you got it—gambolled for it perhaps. By the time I cum hoam I hope you'll be sober."
He was. He lived on humble pie for a month, and wore sackcloth and ashes in meekneasuand repentance for a year. Never offend id he ask for the change of his hundred dollars, but he always looked meditatively at the bright figured carpet which adorns tho parlor to this day, and which he unwittingly conjured out of the carpet sweeper.
But lie never touched wine again, and "beverages" of every description, except tea and coffee, ho always afterward declined.
