HOW PRUE SAVED VETE
JOIN CROP.
BY MARGARET VANDEGBIFT.
PART 1.
Prue was only fifteen- when her
mother died, but when her father tallied
of looking for a house -keeper; to relieve
his little daughter of the care of
the house, she begged so hard to
he -allowed to "try" that he consentede
and ,after that there was never any
more talk about _Another house -keeper.
It was sad work at first; the loneliness
when her father and Bob were out about
the farm, _and the Irish girl was singing
cheerfully in the dietant kitchen, was
sometimes very hard to bear. The
house was large, and. although Prue
had always done her share ef the work
without a murmur she had not been
particularly interested in it, and so had.
not noticed how her mother planned
and managed. It came to her in tine,
however, as almost anything will come
when it is rightly tried for, and it came
all the sooner for her father's loving
praise and Bob' a openly expressed ad-
miration of her achievements. Prue
was young, and deeply as she mourned
for and missed her mother it wee only
natured that her life should take a new
shape and begin again. But for Mr.
Henderson, it ivas different. The old
place seemed more and more louesome
to him; the bleak New England hills
seemed bleaker and more dreary. Prue
had noticed the sort of tired restlessness
which potsessed him, and was not sur-
prised when he called her to him One
eveningand asked her if it would
grieve' her very trench to leave the old
place.
" got if I were to go with you and
Bob," Prue answered, brightly. "Where
is it we are going, dear ?"
"- It is not settled, daughter," Said
Mr. Henderson, his face brighteving at
her ready answer ; "but.your Uncle
Will writes me that I could get a fine
farm next to his out there in Illinois for
half of what we have in bank now, and
the day. after his letter came I had a
very good offer to rent this place for a
year; I wouldn't sell it, for I don't want
to burn my ships till I've ruade sure of
my landing -place; but the rent will
secure us a living, even if we don't do
anything great with the farm the first
year, and Will says that if we don't like
out there he'll be glad to take the farm
off my bands at the end of the year;
he'd buy it now if he had the ready
money, he's so eure land is going up
about there." 4
"Then I Wilk -we'd. better do it,
by all means," said Prue cheerfully.
"What does BO think? or haven't you
asked him yet?"
"Ye, I spoke to him this afternoon,"
said Mr. Henderson, "and he's keen to
go; but he said. he was afraid it would
be hard on you both ways— leaving
here and roughing it out there."
" That's all Bob knows abont it ?"
said Prue laughing. " I shall he sorry
on some accounts to leave here," she
added, ber farm, saddening a. little; "but
as for the roughing it, that will benoth-
ing but fun ; it will be -a sort of per-
petual picnic.,"
"You're a good little girl, Prue,' said
her father, pulling her down on his
knee, but I do not wish to take ad-
vantage of your goodness. Think it
over for a day or two—there's no; great
hurry --and I'll inquire about the freight-
age of the goods and one or two ihings
like that, and ask your Aunt Pr derma
what she thinks. I always tho ght a
good deal of her judgment."
The result of all the thinkin and
talking was a decision in favor of (deg.
Aunt Prudence did an unselfish thing
when she cast her vote on that sit eefor
Prue was her favorite nieCe, her ame-
child," and the brightest thing 1 her
somewhat lonely life. But she sa how
her brother was " breaking " und r the
first real trouble of his lite; how little
chance there was for Bob ever to make
more than a bare living off the stony
hill tide farm, and how much t inner
and paler Prue had grown in t e last
year. The move was made, nd if
Prue felt disheartened when the agon
containing the few possessions th y had
thought beet to bring, and whic were
stowed behind the wide seat on hich
she at with her father and Bob drew
up at the door of a staring, unp nted
frame house, with shntterless wi dows
and porchless doors; nobody k ew it
but just herself? How she did w rk in
the weeks that followed I And h w the
color came into her cheeks and th light
into her eyes. She wondered wh ham
and corn bread and potatoes had never
tasted so good at home. She sle t like
a baby, and as she saw her father once
more cheerful, interested, " like him
self," ead little bursteof song be an to
burst through the ugly house. o one
would have called it ugly after th v had
been there a year. Bo h was four years
older than Prue, and beginning t feel
very fatherly toward her, but th t did
not hinder him here joining in 11 her
plans for beautifying the new onte.
He had always had, a "turn" for c rpm
-
tees work, and it did not take hizjn long
to fit up the second.storyof the b rn for
a work shop. Here, on rainy da s, he
and his father worked, while Prue,
seated on an easy chair which no one
would have suepected of ever having
been a barrel, sewed. or read alo d, as
the work was quiet or noisy.
And out of that wonderful sho came
shutters, and porches, and c othes.
props, and clothes -horses, and hairs,
and tables, and ehelves, and p cture-
framea, and an arbor, and so many
'little things to make Prue's hone -keep-
ing easier that I cannot begin to name
them all. Bob ana.tched a day ji June
to do the rough work for Prue i I what
they called the -front yard," tho' gh the
nearest fence was half a mile oi , and
before frost came all the obligin• flow-
ers which, grow quickly and bloo ss free-
ly were making a show of whi I the
family was justly proud, and whi h was
the admiration of all the nei hbors.
Anybody within twelve miles was a
neighbor here, and by winter thy had
made many pleasant friends, aid the
loneliness which had been dreao ed for
Prue went to join the host of unf lfilled
apprehensions which must be some-
where, though fortunately nobody knows
where! There was a neat little build-
ing four or five miles away whi h did
duty as church, school -room, or 1 awe -
room, as the case might be, an here,
at test once a week, and aom times
ranch oftener, Prue and Bob exc anged
greetings with the hearty, brie' -faced
boys and girls who had welcome them
to the neighborhood. These in tinge
and the long entertaining lette from
Ault Prudence, which seldom fa led to
reach her. on Saturday evenilag, Prue'
declared kept her from " stagnit mg."
She had soon become poptil in the
neighborhood, chiefly for her oW sake,
but partly M firat for the freedo with
which she shared the books a paperS
with which Aunt Prudence kept her
constantly supplied.. The boys and
girle soon knew that they nould always
find good reading matter, which would
be cheerfully lent them, at Prue Hen-
derson's, and the start this gave there
resulted in a book-olub, which subse+
quently bloesomed into a library. Aunt
Prudence deolitred that there was "ne
excuse for anybody" who was not well
informed in these days of twenty -cent
Macauleys ,and Carlyles And the
papers
papers -ande books which she sent; al-
though by no means uniformly •I solid."
never included any trash. So things
went on, pleasantly and prosperously,
for a year; the farm 119.d more than ful-
filled Mr. Henderson's expectations, andi
he had more than fulfilled Prue's hopes.
He had seemed te grow young again ID
the society et hishrother, and was' bet-
ter and stronger than be had been for
years. Bob, who had been rather slen-
der, and inclined to stoop, had grown
iuto a great broad -chested, straight,
backed fellow, 'too big for the house
,
"
Prue saidand she herself, plump and
ettuburned and rosy, did her father's
heart -good every time he looked at her.
Bnt trouble came tethers), right in the
midst of the second summer's work.
Mr. Hendeeson was caught in a heavy
rain•storna several miles from home,
and the sudden dienching on a warm
day, followed by the chill which his wet
clothes gave him, ended in rheumatic
fever. He was not ale.rmingly ill, and
be was ,very patient and eentle with
Prue and Bob, who nursed imdevoted
ly, but they could see he as 1' fretting
his heart out" about the rea.t field of
corn, the hoeing of which was to have
been begun* on the very da upon which
be began his illness instea . Everybody
was busy. No help of an kind could
he found; poor Bob fong t valiantly
with the weeds, which ha sprung up
like so many Jonah's gour s, after the
rain. But there was muc to do about
the house and barn as well as in tho
field ; their only "hired men left them"
at a -day's notice, and Bob was almost
in despair. Prue was glad that ber
birthday happened along just as thinge
were at their bluest—it made a diver
sion. A letter bad come from Aunt
Prudence, telling. Prue that her birth,
day box would be found at the rail waY
station if the various express ageute
had done their duty, and an obliging
neighbor, who had been at the station
on businese of his own and found the
box there, came two Or three miles out
of his way to bring it to Prue. She kept
it untouched until evening, and then,
with Bolpie help, unpacked it in her
father's loom. Aunt Prudence had
made a_special trip to Boston for the
filling of that box. There was a lovely
steel engraving for the parlor, a pretty
set of "cheese -cloth" curtains for that
and Prue's own room, two or three new
books, a mat pile of magazines con,
tributed 65,! several of sPrue's old neigh -
hors, and many little things for making
cooking eaey Prue was a first rate
cook by this time, and she welcomed
the new egg -beater and gem pans and
other little devices almost as warmly
as she did the books. It}was a large
box, -and eery chink which ah ordinary
mortal would have filled with wad of
paper was etuffed with a leMon I Pen()
and Bob ltept taking out lemons untii
the foot cf Mr. Henderson's bed was
covered with them, and they were both
laughing.
"1 wonder what amity did expect me
to do with all those lemons I" Prue
exclaimed, when the box was at last
empty, and she laid the fifth dozen on
the bed.
"Give a party, to be sure 1" said Bob,
"and as sopn as father's around again
we'll do it. ' You'll have to hurry, daddy,
or the lemens '11 spoil,and that would be
a pity!" '
"1 feel es if I'd be well enough to get
about the room to -morrow, anyhow,"
said Mr. Henderson, more briskly, Prue
noticed, then he had spoken for a long
time, "and you and Prue deserve a
party-, and ^everything else you want, for
the way yon've taken care .of me. I
dare say I can hobble down to the par
lor by the end of the week, so you could
ask them after church on Sunday; it
will liven ne all up."
Prue was reading I. Aunt Prudence's
letter, a 'pleasure which bad been de-
ferred by the unpacking of the box.
"Oh. this accounts for the lemons!"
she exclaimed; and she read aloud;
"Your Uncle Silas's 'ship came in'
just as I was going to pack your box,
dear, and then be came in, with ell
these lertions in a basket for you. '1'!!
bet she's a good deal more than twelve
miles from a lemon,' he said, 'so yon
can give her these, with her old uncle's
love; it would be something a good
eight better, if I'd sold my cargo. I
thought at, first that I could not possi-
bly get them all in, and then it occurred
to me to uee them for stuffinginstead of
paper. So now you can give a party as
soon asever father is well enough, and
you can all drink lemonade instead of
water in the meantime I".
'Don't you think youhad better take
aunty's acieice at ono% little father?"
said Prue, 'springing up. "It Beems to
me I've heard somewhere that lemon
ade is good for rheumatism, and I think
Bob and I both have a touch of it to-
night. Come, Bob, pump the water
white 1 ageeeze the lemons."
Uncle Silas would have been highly
gratified if he could have seen than con-
vivial party pledging him and Anut
Prudence iu brimming glasses between
mouthfuls of Prue's birthday cake. But
those lemons had a brighter destiny yet
in store for them. The suggestion of
the party had set Prue tbinkftg, and
by the next evening she bad thought.
"Bob," she said, taking his arm as
they walked among the flourishing flow-
er -beds after their early tea, "is it very
bad about that corn?"
"Very bad indeed, my dear," answer-
ed Bob, with a cloudy face, "I've near-
ly broken my back over it to -day, and
for all the impression •I've wade it
seems as if I might almost as well have
let it alone. I was never so forcibly
struck with the vastness of a large corn-
field before I"
"How long would it take a dozenme
to clean it ?" biked Prue, in every busi-
ness -like manner. ,
" Just about a dozen days, I should
think," said Bob—" or no, that's too
high a figure—I wasn't thinking of
what I was saying;.a dozen men could
clean Ain a day, with steady hoeing.
But there is no dozen on hand, in
dear, and I can't put in a whole day at
a time, -any day—that's what makes it
so hopelese 19 .

doubt ft," said the earpenter,
And shed a bitter teen
Bob, you looked so likte the Walrus
when you -said that!" and Prue, catch-
ing Bob's hands in hers, compelled him
to whirl around with her in a wild sort
of waltz. tie stopped her, finally, by
picking her up and carrying her into
the house.
" Prudence, indeed 1" he said, giving
her a little' shake as he set her down.
I believe you are crazy.. Do you
know how much bread and butter
that cornfield represents, reckless
child?'
"'You know we're all ,mad,' dear,"
answered Prue, with sudden gravity,
"but there's a method in, my madness,
Robert, toi gne j'aime. Do you know
there's only enough flour for one more
batch of bread, and not a cake at all,
at all??'
"1 supposed that was about the state
of the case," said Bob, looking a little
surprised at the sudden change of sub.
ject. " but I've been putting off a voy
• age to the ni11 as our best translator
would put it, till father should be
better. I didn't like to leave you alone
for the night while he wes so help-
less."
"He's ever:so much better to -day,"
replied Prue, "and bread we must
have. Coeld you go tomorrow? I
can borrow a small bag of flour from
the Ran some—they took a large grist
last week.
"1 suppose I must," groaned Bob.
"1 may as *ell give up, about that corn,
first as last. Ceuld you give me a cup
of coffee, Red put me up e. big basket of
aaudwiches and things by five o'clock
to r..orrow. morning? I'm sorry to hoist
you so early, but the'sun'e hot in the
middle of the day, and it's along pull to
the mill."
" Of course I can,'! said Prue, bright-
ly, " and bp glad to do it—it will give
me such a good long day. I will put
you up enough to give something to
that poor iittle woman at the mill
house; blis looks as if she;never tasted
anything But hog and hominy.' "
'If father were only well," said Bob,
a little regretfully, " you could come
with me and we'd take the little tent,
as we did the last time, and make a
jolly sort of picnic of it.' •
"We can't have all things here to
please us, Robert; I'm surprised that it
takes you tio long to find that out.Come,
I'm going to set that last bread," and
then I'm going to arrange father for the
night—I would have said ' fix ' him.
were I in an uncultured condition—atel
then we are all going streight to bed;
those who must needs rise with the lark
should be sensible enough to retire with
the ben."
" I'm glad you can feel so cheerful
over it," said Bob, a little grimly.
"So am I, dear," she answered,
saucily; "now go to bed with an easy
mind. I'll call you. Bless aunty's
dear heart for that. alarm•clook ; no-
body else would have thought of it." I
Bob went obediently to bed, but not
to sleep. Every time he fell into an
uneasy doze -he started awake with the
delusion that tbe quilt had turned into
a cornfield, and was smothering him.
He heard Prue's light step, and soft
humming of various selections, until
after the clock struck eleven. Then all
grew quiet,' and just as he had made up
his mind to get up and read, he fell
asleep at last, and, as it fleenaed to him,
five minutes afterward Prue was gently
pulling his ear and telling him it. was
half past -four. By a little after five he
had started with -his bags of wheat and
rye, and a well filled basket of provis-
ions, from which a bottle of cold tea
stuck up its head in what Prue
declared to be a most -disreputable
manner.

An Indian Marriage.
THE MUNI:UM YOUTH WHo wEDDED A
SQUARISH MAIDEN.
An interesting ceremony took place
on Merchant square, Victoria, on Satur-
day morning. . A squamish rnaiden and
Musquin youth, aged 17 and 20 respec-
tively, were betrothed. It was their
purpose to postpone the marriage for
some months, until sufficiently instruct-
ed by the missionary to have tbe cere-
mony performed in civilized, Christian
fashion. On Saturday, however, they
determined to avail themselves of so
auspicious an occasion as the presence
of their "great white mother's" daugh-
ter, and so the interesting affair was
arranged for Saturday evening. The
friends of the two contracting parties
were ranged in two long rows, facing
each other, the chiefs, the bride and
groom, and more. immediate relatives
occupying a cross seat at the head of
the two rows. The father of the bride
made at address, in the course of which
-he said he was giving away his daughter
to the young man; and that she would
be all the same as dead to him. A large
dish was placed on the ground in front
of the old man, into which the friends
of the bridegroom cast- money to com-
pensate him for the loss of his daughter.
This occupied some time, and when
count was made the dish was found to
contain $400. The ceremony over, the
bridal party and their neer friends held
a feast. It is understood that, by -and
bye, when better instructed, they will.
be re -married by the priest.—British
Columbian.
Forbearance.
It is in our daily association with
other people, whether in society or
business, or at home, that we are in
the deepest need of forbearance. We
are irritated at countlese things, and
seem goaded to use bitter words, ox
spiteful:allusions or stinging raparteee.;
We tee error so plainly that we long te
crush it out by violent means, or we
see faults in others which seem to
merit our severeat rebuke. Or we are
suffering under some real or fancied
unkiudness or injustice which we burn
to resent, and which appears to us to
warrant the sternest indignation. The
forbearance which, while endurind
these heart- burnings, can yet enforce
silence on the lips until the • hot erne -I
tions have laad time to cool, and have
been brought to the bar of reason and,
judgment,- commands our respect and
admiration.

Millinery and Mantle Dep4rtment.
I have every confidence in calling the attention of all buyers of this class of
good i to the enormous quantity of Millinery Materials that annually pass
through our hands. Consequently, this season we are able to do (as !formerly)
give-rott a good article at the price which small dealers would ask for a cheap
one. Besides, critics pronounce our styles much superior to any shown west of
Toronto. Come in and look, and we are satisfied yon will leave an order.
In the Mantle Department we are unusually busy. Many of our best goods
are going which we cannot repeat. To all I would say come and select your
Mantle. We have every style that is fashionable. Look at our Military Coats
and our German Mantles—the fit and finish of them cannot be equalled.
READYMADE CLOTHING.
In thia department we have secured the very nicest materials, made in
styles second to none. See my New Single Breasted Overcoats. See my New
Dress Overcoats. See my Fancy Tweed Suite. See my Worsted Suits. Ex-
amine the cloth, the linings and the finish, and you will at once pronounce. it
superior to any Custom Work. None but A 1 tailors are employed in the fac-
tories from which we buy. All work is inspected before leaving the factory,
hence you find us with no misfits or improperly finished goods. See my Rubber
Coats, all prices, which we import•direct. Our Prices will convince you of this.
T_Tl\TJDIR,CT—JCYTI—II1\TC3-.
Men's, Youths' and Boys' Shirts and Drawers in every variety at prices
small advance on mill rates. I have the best 6Qe shirt made; the best 70c shirt
made; the best $1 shirt made, and the most reliable. What we say is wool you
may depend on.

We now hold the best value in Teas that money could secure. We have
bought largely, and can guarantee yo l value never before reached since we first
opened business. Imagine an extra good Tea 45c a pound, and the very best
procurable only 60c a pound. Examine my Sugars in raws—the value when
compfired surprises ourselves. We giye you a better Sugar and more of it in
refined goods than any other house in the trade. See for yourself and be con-
vinced.
