IN A STAGE -COACH.
• BY FRANCIS 8. PALMER.
A stage -coach was jolting over the ill -made
road that connects Beincourt with one of
the larger towns lying to the southward on
the shores of the St. Lawrence. The sun
had set,misty rain fell,ntal twilight was set-
tling over the low, dreary levels of Eastern
Canada.
-Mr. Winthrop Boyd, who had come
from New York City, and was novv the
only occupant of the (mach, found the drive
very tedious. His errand here in Canada
was, to be sure, not 'wholly unpleasant; but
he wished its beginning were a little less un-
romanVo. His coming should be more of a
triumphal procession; this musty stage
lumbering over ruts and into holes was not
a fit chariot for a hero ; and he felt himself
something of a hero. In the first place he
had worked hard for a year at his prOfes-
siert ; that was a good deal for a man who
loved ease; second, he had resisted the
charms of the city girls who could give him
money and social position, and now was go-
ing to this out-of-the-way place to keep a
romantic promise given to a little Sootch
girl. Two summers before they had met at
an Adirondack cottage; he fell in love, and
engaged himself. Of course he didnot re-
gret it, yet to -night, as he jolted on over the
ruts, he could not help feeling that in being
true to her he was very praiseworthy. A
prosperous young lawyer In New York,who
knew the people he did, could marry almost
any girl; and here he was journeying into
the wilds of Canada to rescue a beggar
maid, resit were! That was putting it a
little strongly, perhape, but he rather en-
joyed being like King Cophetua in the
ballad.
These thoughts gave him a complacent
and virtuous, if somewhat regretful, feel-
ing; and he hardly noticed a peasant wo-
man, evidently a habitant's wife, who
stumbled into the coach, her arms full of
bundles. After he had mechanically helped
to arrange her possessions, his thoughts ran
en. Yes, he was sacrificing a great deal to
that Adirondack romance -money, social
success, influential friends -all given up for
love in a flat. After the changed standards
coming from a year in New*York, he was
not quite sure whether she wage° clever and
cultivated as he had thought in those short
weeks they spent togetherameng the Adiron-
dacks ; at any rate, she was nice -looking.
But wouldn't the fellows in the city think
that he had made a mess of itn-just thrown
away his opportunities !
Nov the great coach stopped again; there
was a small exodus of people and lanterns
and umbrellafrom a house by the roadside,
and ,another woman got into the cued' ;
this time a younger one, wearing a long
waterproof, and having her face covered by
ai veil.
ee In a few minutes a little settlement was
reached, and the peasant woman gathered
up her bundles preparatory to leaving.
When Winthrop had helped her out, she
turned and said in French: " Thanks, and
good night, holy father."
He smiled to think what his friends would
say to his being taken for a priest; yet the
mistake was not unnatural. The farm -wife
and he bad traveled together in the dusk of a
rainy day; he wore a long black mackin-
tosh, buttoned close at the neck, and a soft
black hat not unprieetly in appearance e
moreover, his face was clean shaven.
A smile at the incident was still lurking
about his face, when he felt that the young
woman, now the sole oocupant of the coach
besides himself, was Watching him from be-
neath her veil. As they passed over a
piece of •ertiooth road, and moved more
steadily, slne' left her seat and placed her-
self at,the,side of the supposed priest.
" Something weighs on my mind," she
said, speaking earneetly ; "and I want
your opinion. I need the advice of some
• Children Cry for
one I can trust, and you, aset priest: must
give yours."
The young man knew he was esailing un-
der false colors; but the journey had been
so stupid that he felt justified in accepting
what promised to be innocent amusement.
Then, even he might give good advice ;
surely, such a girlish penitent was not
guilty of a serious offence. So, quieting
his scruples, he signified that he was at her
disposal. She did not throw aside ner veil
as she hurriedly began :
"You may think it straoge for m to ion -
fide in this way to one I do not k ow. I
thought of speaking to the pada priest,
but there are sole things it is eagle to say
to a stranger. I will hurry, for want
your advice to -night. My sister is •n doubt
about a matter, and I don't kn w quite
what to Pa to her. She is en aged to
marry. She never knew the m n very
well, arid. has not seen hien for mor than &
year. The courtship was short. he was
fond of him, -and thinks she is so y t ; but
she now doubts if the marriage would be
happy. From the tone of his reo nt let-
ters, she fears he thinks he is conf rring a
favor in maerying a girl without mo ey, and
oountry-bred. Soon he is omit) here.
Ought she not to break -off the enga ement,
at least for the present, and let him now in
some way that a lover must woo after a
different fashion ?"
His profession had taught Wnithrop
Boyd to conceal his failings; but bile he
listened to her a suspicion, which gr dually
became a eeling of certainty, ea e over
him and almost caused a start of e rprise.
There is no mistaking it -this wom' n, who
thought him a priest, was she, to W om he
was betrothed ! His first impulse was to
make himself known; then a plan si/ gested
itself, and he kept silent. What be ter op-
portunity could there be for showing her in
a delicate way that he the loy r. was
really making a sacrifice In this m rriage ?
It was due to himself that she she ld un-
derstand that (nearly. The si ter, of
course, was merely her invention: e e was
speaking of their own love affair, ari, doing
mo in a way he did not like. He de ided to
play the role of priest for the eveni g, and
teach her a little appreciation. In teed of
answering her ,questions, he esked a other :
",Tell me Where this man lives,an some-
thing about him."
"In New York City,. whom e is a
lawyer."
"And you say he seems patr nizing.
•Doesn't your sister -imagine that it,i so be-
•,causershe thinks he perhaps hae a 'ght to
be ?" he asked, tentatively.
"He has no right to be the least, "Oh, of course not! However," a Burning
a judicial tone, "1 think I can understand
how; the case is. For a priest I ha e seen
something of life, ...and I can see how a
young man, prosperous and living i a big
city, may feel that he makes a sac Woe in
marrying al country girl who hes no money.
He ought not to be really patroniz ng, but

d if he

He ',was growing vexed, and ea
making a sharp rejoinder; his at
teach her appreciation was not p oving a
success. However, he bethought himself of
his new character, and tried to speak as

though he wore an impartial advise
‘• A self-respecting young woi an," he
said, gravely, "owes it to herself t ' main-
tain her dignity. Yet your siste shonld

It is a fine thing for him to do; ew raen
would have the necessary courage." I
She started back. "Well !" she -xclaim-
ed, "I think "-but what she thought he
never learned ; for just then th coach
gave a ponderous luroh, and one si MIRO
down with a, crash; the - two pa eengers
were thrown violently from their se ts.
When Winthrop picked, himself up, be
found that the young woman ware- ying on
the floor of the coach, motionlesshe had
fainted. He pushed open the door ,na car-
ried her out. The accident had h ppened
in the outskirts of a villege, and just in
front of a large building.
" That's the convent -take her there I"
said the driver, as he saw the limp gure of
the girl; "the r ens will look after er. We
are near Beim:mune and you'll have p walk
to the tavern." He had exami ed the
coach, and saw there was no' hope f going
further that night.
• Winthrop, anxious for the youn jwom&n
he was carrying, stumbled through te mud
to the convent door. The sisters eadily
received the injured girl; they kn v Miss
Frobisher, and would give the est of
care. He waited eine the dreary lietle re-
ception mem while they examined her
bruise.; theae were not dangeronin they
said, and she had already come out of the
swoon. Then he walked on to the tavern,
the nuns having promised to send hiin word
if there wail a change for the worse in her
condition.
• He could Pot swallow the salt pork and
stale bread whioh were offered him for imp -
per. . Matterewere going wrong, and nbth-
ing pleased him in this sodden, dismal vil-
lage. • The tavern was close and damp;
putting on his long coat, he went out and
walked the muddy streets. Even 'in the
nunehine the village must be solemn enough;
but to -night, when the roofs of the dwarfed
houses were dripping sadly, when the
streets were quagmires, when the only peo-
ple stirring were a few drunken en, and
the whole place told of listless p v'erty-
Beincourt was desolation itself. I
He found a road leading into the country,
andlwas glad to follow it, taking Ion strides
over the wayside grass.
• The wind was rising, the rain topped,
and broken clouds chased each oth r across
1
the sky, giving glimpses of a oresce t moon.
As the night cleared his thougnts began to
clear. -Fancy went back to Ad ron.dack
nights when their boat had floate, by the
wooded shores ; then he reoalle, with a
pang that she was lying hurt h rein the
convent,the most dreary place in t is dreary
village. His thoughts grew gentl , and he
forgot the sting of her words int e Coach ;
now he saw there was truth in t ern, and
he blamed himself for becoming a lfish and
worldly since he had lived in the e ten
The moon now shone bright a d blear;
and, as he retraced his steps, it it iip the
little whitewashed town, ma log t almost
picturesque. By the time eye ched the
tavern he was quite remoreefhl-p rhaps he
had been foolish enough to be a ittle pa-
tronizing; of course, no girl of spirit would
stand that. If she could only ov rlook his
folly, he would promise a wiser fu ure, He
feared from her words to the eupp sed priest
-that she would not readily forgive 1 :
The next morning the landlord brou'ght
him a note which had come from Di. Fro-
bisher's. Winthrop Boyd knew he hand-
writing, It had been written lat the night
i
before, and was asfollows :
• 1
How did you fail to suspect who yeas in
the coach with you! I reoogniz d you at
once, and was about to speak wh n the old
woman's mistake suggested that I should
talk to you as a priest, and at the same time
give you, as a lover, a lesson i conduct.
'For some time I have not liked t e toe of
your letters, aud ;what you said i the coach
has deoided me. I must break ff the en-
gagement.

Later in the morning, when Mr.Winthrop
Boyd took his Place in the coach, whioh,
having been repaired, was about to stirt on
its' return trip, le was somewhat pensive.

a good , son to his mother," said
Aunt Nabby Featherfew. "And I've no-
ticed that pretty generally that's the sort
that makes good husbands 1"
Aunt Nabby sat by the window, peeling
pumpkins for the Saturday's baking. She
was a little dried up old woman with black -
rimmed spectaeles that added a peculiar
owlish effect to her dim blue eyes, and 1 wore
her Beauty iron -gray hair screwed tightly
up in a knob at the back of her head. Mrs.
Featherfew, her Sister-in-law, was pluokipg
a fine fat turkey, for the impending New
England festival. She was one of 1 those
fore -banded wornir who always liked to
get everything d ne a little in advanee of
time. ,
Luke Featherf w bimvelf, the head of the
family, sat on th -edge of the table, chew-
ing a gold-glietening rye -straw. He had
just brought in a basket of 1 rutabaga tur-
nip', and had rernained a minute or so to
hear what the women were talking about. ,
"Yee," said Mrs. Featherfew, doubtful-
ly, "but I'm a'mose afraid he's inclined to
be stingy, Abigail, and that ain't a desir-
able quality ni no young man, It's bad
enough in old folks."
? "" What makes you think so, mother ?"
said Mr. Featherfew.
' "He's so dreadful close with hie money
of late," answered the house -mother. "He
wouldn't give nothing to the subseription
for getting •up a free public library last
week, and he's dropped the ides -of buying a
new horse, and he drives that old Dobbin of
hie yet."
-
"Dobbin'. a goon horse," reflectively ob-
served Mr. Featherfew.
"Yee, but he's such a lookin' oreetur 1"
Mr. Featherfew chuckled.
" You women are all for looks," said he.
"I never see the beat on 't, Well, I sup-
pose there's no law again a man doin' as he
pleases with his own money."
"No," said Mrs. Featherfew, dryly.
"But all the same, I don't want my Orinda
to marry a miser."
"1! Orinda's got her mother's spunk,"
said the farmer, laughing, "she'll do pretty
much as she pleases about marrying."
Orinda, at the end of the room, was chop-
ping suet industriously, and, although she
had heard every word of the discussion,
neither spoke nor looked up. She Was a
round-faced, blue-eyed girl, with long lashes
that swept her cheeks as she looked down, a
dimpled cherry moutb, and a nose inclined
to the retrousse type -commonly called pug.
Her hiir, of the richest glossy brown, was
braided like a crown; her color- was high,
and the ohopped away with a vigor that in-
dicated the sanguine nervous disposition.
To speak the truth, Miss Orinda had I been
rather -low-spirited for two or three days.
Her darling desire of a new winter wrap had
been denied her.
"You must manage to make the old one,
do for another season, Orinda." her mother
had said.
"But, mother, it's's° shabby! And Lucy
Pease has got a new seal plush."
"A couple of yards of fur trimming at a
dollar a yard will make it quite decent,"
remained the thrifty matron. "And Lucy
Pease is nothing to us."
'1 could buy a real pretty beaver -cloth
auger°, mother, at Rogers' sale for fifteen
dollars," pleaded Orinda, with tears in her
eyes.
"Bub, daughter, we haven't the fifteen
dollars to spare. Your father has ha4 bad
lack with his oat crop. Forty busheli were
spoiled by the rain before they co Id be
harveeted, and nhe red cow died o horn
distemper, and the barn on the hill was
struck by lightning and burned down with
two ton of hay in it! We've got to econo-
mise."
Orinda pouted.
"1 never have anything like other kills,"
said she. "1 might as well wear Auut
Nabby's old plaid woollen ehawl at once,
and be done with it."
And she had been quite silent and deject-
ed ever since. • What her mother said, she
ieasoned within herself, was quite true. If
there was anything miserly abone Wallace
-Grant, she did not want to oast in her lot
with his. She had been pinched and cramp-
ed all the two -and -twenty years of her life,
if there was to be any change, she decided
that it should be for the better. There was
John tiaTVie who wore such stylish collars,
and drove a high-stepping horse to a nrand-
new' yellow -wheeled buggy, on his way to
the Iron Worke, where he condescended to
fill up the position of cashier, until some one
else could be found. Orinda knew very well
that Mr. Jarvis admired her quite as ' much
as Wallace Grant did; and Wallace) was
only a farmer after all, and Orinda had her
ambitions.
"By the way," maid Mrs. Featherfew, her
words chiming in strengely with the vague
current of Orinda's unguided thought, "Mr.
Jarvis wise saying yesterday that he lhould
not be able to get home Thanksgiving.
Why don't; you ask him here, father? I
sort o' feel sorry for any young man ' that's
by himself in a strange place on Thanksgiv-
ing day."
"Do, father," ineid Orinda, quickly.
"Just as you women folks say," said the
farmer. "but will there be room at the
table? There'll be Cousin Nathan Bart-
lett's folks, and Wallace Grant and his mo-
ther-"
"Why do you invite the Grants ?" im-
patiently interrupted Orinda.
"They're sort o' family friends," said the
farmer apologetically.
"No more than other people," spoke
Orinda. " Letthem eat their Thankegiving
dinner at home."
Mrs. Featherfew and Aunt Nabby ex-
changed a look of surprise. This change of
guests at tho Annual feast of the neighbor-
hood meant a radical change of opinion.
Wallace Grant had "waited on" Orinda for
a year, to use the neighborhood Phrase.
Was the dashing cashier of the Iron Works
to be promoted to his place? In such mat-
ters as this, however, Orinda's will was law,
and so the affair was settled..
"I'm sort o' feared she's makin' 'a mis-
take," whispered Aunt Nabby.
"1 don't know," responded Mrs. Feather -
few. "1 don't believe in those close-fisted
It was the night before Thankiegiving.
There had been snow -flurries and a keen
Arctic gale all day. With sunset, the world
looked winter -cold and dreary, and Wal-
lace Grant's fingers were stiff as -he , guided
the clumsy old Dobbin up to the hitching -
poet in front of the Featherfew farm-houee
and lifted an oblong package out of the
wagon.
"He's come to return the sWaifts his
mother borrowed of Aunt Nabby," said
Orinda to herself. She eat at the window,
and had hurriedly risen to her feet, then eat
down again at the sight of the visitor.
"1 don't know why I should run away
from him," she thought, defiantly.
"I'm lad you're here alone, Orinda"
said Wallace, quietly. "1 wanted a talk
with you. Somehow, I can't let Thanks-
giving Dai go by without saying what I've
on my mind to say."
Orinda trembled. A strange thrill ran
Children Cry for
through all her veine. She had definitely
made up her mind that she did not ore for
Wallace Grant, and yet, at the sound of hie
quiet, determined voice, she knew that the
did care for him.
"1 love you, °rinds," said the young
man. "1 want you to be my wife and come
to the old brown house under the hill. It
will be better, than any palace to me, once
you are in it. I've been dreaming of this for a
year, and now the time has come that 1 can
venture to say what's in my heart. Will
you marry me, Orinda ?"
And, looking into his dark, soulful eyes,
she answered in a whisper, "Yes."
He put his arm tenderly about her.
" That's my own girl," said he. "1 knew
you svould say yes.'
" You take a good deal for granted," said
Orinda, releasing herself, with a little toss
of her head.
"If a man can't trust the girl he loves,
who is there to trust in?" said Wallace,
simply. " And' now look here -I've been
saving up my money for months. I knew
that to -morrow was not only Thanksgiving
Day, but your birthday, as well. And I
wanted to give you a present, Orinda dear.
Will you accept it from your plightedlover?"
Ha opened the box. Orinda started back
with a rapturous ory.
" For me, Wallace? A sealskin jacket I"
"My mother said it was the best econc-
my, after all, dear, and you will look like a
princess in it. She heard you say how much
you needed a winter wrap, and we have
been saving tokether for it. She is as much
in love wieh you as am, Orinda."
" What a model mother-in-law she will
make !" cried the girl, with a laugh that was
half a eob. ".But, oh, Wallace ! this is a
deal too good for me!"
Her eyes glittered, her cheeks t glowed
like roses, and she turned herself around
and around to view herself, in the clinging
luxury of the new garment.
"I'm klad I aooepted you before I saw
this," said she. "Otherwise you might al -
mot have thought it was a bribe."
' "1 knew you too well for that, Orinda,"
said he, smiling gravely.
"And you and your mother will come
here to dinner to -morrow, Wallace ?"
‘nOf course, since you ask us," said he,
simply.
There are only a few of us," said Orin -
da, "Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett, and the girls,
and Mr. Jarvis-'"
" John Jarvis? Of the Iron Works ?"
'Yee. You know him don't you ?"
"Know him ? Yes, a little. But I hard-
ly think he will eat his Thanksgiving din-
ner here to -morrow," said Wallaoe, com-
posedly.
"Oh, yes, he will. He has promised to
come," eagerly uttered Orinda.
"What I mean," said Wallace Grant,
with a curious twinkle in his eye, "was that
he has been arrested for forging signatures,
and falsifying the accounts at the Iren
Works. He was taken to Millford jell this
morning. and the chances are that he won't
come out very soon."
Orinda drew a long breath. Involuntari-
ly she nestled closer to Wallace Grant.
There was such it sense of safety, of security •
in being near him. So this was what Mr.
Jarvis' free expenditures and dashing liber-
ality meant !
I never was gladder to hear anything in
my life," said Aunt Nabby, as she - bustled
around on Thanksgiving morning, deeming
the apples and oranges with autumn leaves
and turning out the jelly in quivering
moulde. "1 always liked Wallace Grant,
• and I never believed a word about his being
miserly or mean."
"Miserly, indeed," said Mrs. Featherfew,
"when, all the time, it was Orinda he was
saving for? And I must soy, that seal
jacket is the prettiest thing I ever saw."
As for Mr. Featherfew hie comment was
entirely characteristic.
"1! the women folks are satisfied," 'laid
he, " lam."
THE END.
Under no Obligations.
One day on Powell's river in the Tennes-
see Mountains, I rode up to a comfortable
looking farm house to inquire the way, and
I ran plump into a one-sided "scrimmage"
between a sharp -visaged woman and a
measley little man at a woodpile. She was
scolding him right and left and he was tak-
ing it silently.
"Hello !" I broke in. "How faro i it to
Tazewell ? '
She looked up and atoppecl scolding.
"Fourteen miles, the way you've got ter
go," she replied.
" Who lives here ?"
" I do."
That wasn't very definite, but ]didn't let
it bother me in the slightest.
" Thanks,": I responded. "Cold I get
my horse fed and a smack for myself ?"
"No, But you kin half a mile furder
down the road.
By this time she had come nearer the
gate. -
"You seem to be having some trouble
with your. farm hand," I said at a venture.
"Yea, he's the laziest, orneriest white
man in these parts,"
"How long have you had him ?"
"About four years."
"Why don't you diesharge him ?"
"Can't do it very well, mister."
"Why, is labor scarce ?"
No, not akeerce, edzeotly, but I'm kinder
use ter him, and he don't give me any back
talk."
"But I wouldn't be annoyed by such help. I
" Well, Mister, yer (isn't quite call hint
help. I reckon he's too ornery fer that."
"Then why not send him off?"
"Didn't I tell you I couldn't?"
She was getting hot again.
"Why not ?" I persisted. "Are you un-
der any obligations to him ?"
"In course I aint ; he's my huaband."
"Oh !" I laughed, and got away in time.
Ages at Which Men Marry.
A writer in the New York Ledger nye :
Statistics show that a law of chancee gov-
erns in the veuitemajority of cases the ages
at which men marry who are engaged in
certain occupations. Workmen and artis-
ans take unto themselves wives at an earlier
age than those whose vocations are of a
more intelleotual kind. Thum, miners, tex-
tile factory hands, laborers and artisans
marry at an average age of 22 years. Of
these the miners are first in the field, more
than 100 of every 1,000 of them securing
wives before they have become of ago;
workers in textile fabrics run . them close;
then come shoemakers and tailors, and they
are followed by artisans and laborers. , Far-
mers and farmers' sone consider 25 early
enough. Commercial clerks seek the pleas -
urea of matrinaony at 26. Shopkeeperi and
shopmen postpone the rapture a little while
longer. Professional men and gentlemen of
independent means rarely care to encumber
themselves even with 90 delightful a burden
as a wife until they have toed the line ()f-
oyer thirty years. Though the rich marry
at a more ripe age than the working frater-
Way, they continue marrying until long after
the last named have ceaeed to wed. Where-
as fourteen miners and twenty-five artisans
in every thousand marry between therige of
thirty-five and forty, nearly a hundred of
the professional class do. It is explained in
this way: The rich like to see something of
the world and pleasures before settling down
to sober matrimony. A laborer has neither
desire nor opportunity for it. When he
hal a hearse of his own and a wife to look
after it for him he has attained, perhaps, to
the height of his ambition. It is said a man
is neither physically nor mentally mature
until he is thirty, and if this is true it stands
to reason a man at that age should be better
fitted for the duties of a husband and a
father than a man of 21.
