"They say it s capital he's always lacked to make his plans successful; but he's willing enough to work, so he can't be altogether shiftless " lie s been a rolling stone; no wonder he's gathered no moss." rejoins the Tanner, oracularly. "I suppose he'll be glad to get work at anything now. tor awhile, anyway," thoughts of Sinewy Dave Albrook swinging the scythe In his "low meadows'' running pleasantly through his practical mind "Why, haven't you heard?" in surprise just tinged with satisfaction. "Miss Genie's hired Kim on her place, to take charge of everything working foreman, she calls it -- you know, she oversees the farm herself. She's Kot to have some one In Ezra's place, since he's laid up with the rheumatism, and I'm quite sure that if Dave Steadies down and sticks to the business, he'll get into a good, permanent position; for I've heard Miss Genie Hay that she Intended to pension old Kzra off as soon as she could get a man in his place." While thus her friends and neighbors gossip kindly about her. Genie Moray goes her way, serenely, fancy-freand Independent, being a law unto herself.

I leifrequent jaunts about the farm are mostly with him, as a matter of course, but there is a general stare on the first Sunday when he accompanies her and her mother to church, sitting with them in the family pew. Hut It is done so quietly and simply there is no loom lor comment, and as for Dave himse lf, his conduct Is simply Irreproachable; the more Miss Genie Is to know him, so much the more she likes and trusts him and approves of his present course.

"I don't want to take his money, Miss Genie; it Isn't quite fair, for I think perhaps I shall be leaving you soon." "Oil. Dave!" Miss Genie's tone Is one of surprised remonstrance, with a slight shade of reproof.

"Dave, Dave!" she cries, chldingly. "Not another word like that if you want to be friends Why, you silly boy, don't you know I'm a year and a half, yes, nearly two years older than you are?" I know it. yes; but what of that? It Is less than nothing between us two." "To tell you the truth. Dave, I don't want to say 'no' to you, for I do like you very much Indeed;" his eyes begin to kindle and his face to glow wiih pleasure, but with an effort she keeps down a rebellious blush or so, and goes on calmly: "Nor am I quite prepared to say 'yes' to your suit. In fact, you must wait, must give me time. I have known but little of you of late years. The case stands thus: My affections are disengaged, quite so. If, In the course of a year or two, I find that I can love you, and feel assured that your love for me is true and lasting, well, think I could then be happier with you, perhaps, than living my life alone as I have done. Meanwhile, let everything be as if we had not spoken together of this today Matters are very well just as they have been. We are not unhappily situated, either of us. I don't want to hear a word on this subject if you accept my terms. Are you willing?" She holds out a gracious hand to him.

Miss Genie walks alone over her thriving homo fields, musing as she goes on the events of the past year, and how well her handsome lover is behaving. Surely he !s doing all a man can do to prove the sincerity of his devotion. And yet is she willing to reward him now? No matter, there Is plenty of time; she need not decide yet, she Is happy as she Is. Has she not lover, brother and friend in one? She climbs the stile into the "far pasture" and goes absently toward the river. A moment or two and a fearful snort and bellowing roar strike terror to her very heart.
