THE APPLE BEE.
CONCLUSION.
"In a little while the room was full
a'most Great baskets of apples stood
down in the middle, where- each filled �►-
tray. Most every one had fetched le
sharp knife and they fell to work rigb!tt
away, so as to get through ..and go =.tb
dancing:• Sometimes a spark and hie
girl Would pare from the same tray, and
there was a deal of whispering. It
made a pretty sight anyway, so many
bright eyes and ribbons, and brass but-
tons, and one that you don't see now -ea
days. _
"Mother and father were in the keepi-
ing room with some of the old people,
and Rastas was everywhere; joking and
laughing with the girls. You could see
he -was a favorite, and I didn't warder,
for he was handsome, tall and straight,
and had a way of saying just the right
thing always.. ' -
"Mistress Randolph hadn't come, but
I hoped she would, for I wanted her to
see, him in his ;new snit. It was blue
broadclothwith brass buttons, cut high,
in the neck and tight in the sleeves,,
with a starched cravat and handsome
frills edged with real laoe at the bosom
and. wrists. He had silver buckles to
his shoes, and, indeed, as I tell you. he
was as fine as need be.
"Philander Smith had on a new suit,
too, but it didn't have the easy set that
Rastus's had, and as for his Dollar,
'twas so stiff and high that he couldn't
turn his head without drawing it down
or up. I pitied him before the evening
was over, his ears got so red, what
with the sawing of his dickey across
them.
"At last we heard the squire driving
up over the frozen ground in his new
leathern convenience. It was the only
one in town, so 'twas easy telling him.
People mostly rode the oldway on
horseback, the woman on a pillion be-
hind the men. The squire was a rich
man and usually led the fashion, and
now the young men all hustled out to
help the squire untackle his horse, so as
to see the new convenience.
"Rastus mentioned our names
each other, for Mistress Randolph h
come with the squire and his wife, a
we both curtseyed, and then I help
her off with her pelisse and bonnet.
"I couldn't tell how it was, but
could see that she wasn't like the oth
girls, and I laid it to her bringing p
at I know now it was because_she w
better born. She was pretty spoke
nd quiet, but she carried her head s
stately and her walk was different.
"I remember: her hair was dress

ttle waves were string of sornethin
that Mandy Smith said were gla

er gown was of plum colored flowere
ilk, made with a tunic looped up ov
satin petticoat, and she wore high
eeled shoes different from any I ha
ver seen.
"Other girls in the room had eyes a
right and oheeks as rosy, but after al
e was a great deal handsomer, and
idn't wonder at Rastus, not a mite.
"I could see that n'Iandy Smith look
vexed that Mistress Randolph shoal
e dressed so grand, for she was as fin
s a fiddle herself. She wore a new
orsted. gown with a waist no long
an your finger, and leg of mutton
eeves that made her look three time
broad as she ought to, bat she

daughter:

she spoke up—
'Linsey-woolsey and silk doesn't
make the difference, Mandy, between a
lady and one that ain't. Portia want-
ed to wear one like mine, but we hadn!t
time to make one, and I told her it
made no difference what she wore,since
she wasn't vain of her apparel.'
"So Portia Randolph wanted to wear
linsey-woolsey, and Rastas wanted to
wear fine broadcloth. I thought from
that they might some time come to-
gether, leastwise I hoped so.
"When Rastus came around, I no-
ticed she always blushed a little, but
didn't seem. to see him, and he kept out
of her way mostly. When she first_
came he just made her a' handsome
bow, and said :
"'Good evening to your Mistress Ran-
dolph,' but after a while he fetched her
mother's silver dish and gave her his
new pocket knife to pare with, but he
didn't joke and laugh with her as he
did with the others.
"How frolicsome they were ! When
a paring came off whole . without break-
ing, they would toss it over their shoul-
ders, and when it fell it a'most always
be made to stand for their sweetheart's
_ name. It made a deal of sport.
"I sat by Mistress Randolph, and I
could see how she blandered at her
work. It was new to }ler, you see, but
she tried to do well, and was just be-
ginning to be more handy, when - all at
once she started and screamed a little,';
and I saw her put an apple into •her;
pocket. Her hand trembled so that';
her knife slipped and went into her
finger, making a large cut that bled
dreadful.
"Rastus jumped, and they all did,
when they heard her scream out, and
when they saw .the cut they thought
that was the reason, but I knew better.
I knew she cut her finger afterwards,
and I wondered greatly about that ap-
ple and if it had aLything to do about
it.
"She said it was a small hurt and of
no consequence, but she wouldn't pare
any more ; for at best she was clumsy,
so if they would tell her something
that she could do, she would try to do
better.
"It's little she can do, I'm thinking,'
said Mandy Smith, and she spoke
loud enough for any one to hear, al-
most.
"The squire said he had fetched the
harp unbeknown, and now if Rastue
would go out to the convenience and
fetch it in, maybe Portia would play if
she could with her cut finger.
"She said that it wasn't a finger that
she needed to use, and they all said
that it would be a rare treat. So Ras-
tus fetched in her harp and threw the
blue ribbon over her neck, and she
began.
"It was a ballad, all about a lady of
high degree and a poor lad that loved
each other, but she was forced to marry
a lord or something, and how she pined
away and died, and the lad came home
from the wars all titled and grand, but s
