Fate most love adven-- ! turera. Inside of five hours he had! sold out clean, and sat In roadside shade reckoning triple gains. Also r he had laid the foundation of a new business laid It true and square. One woman had all but cried over sot getting all the peaches. To pacify her he had promised next mornings basketful exclusively hers. Others hud asked him to come regularly. As for the mill folk, they had all bat him, so Joyous was their hun--. r"en stuff. Ann I'll give to em u and fine," he cried half aloud, loor things. They deserve better than tha town. Then came the greut idea why not lodge with Miss 'Blub and her enchanting helper now thut he knew he could pay, he had fear to name the plan which two hours later went through with bells on. He was to everybody Mr. lrovidvnee and fitted himself admirably into this unfamiliar groove. It was Joy to help with thing in the garden, the kitchen, where Miss 'Biah made good Everliua's boast. Liston made a clamorous market for her offerings but agreed with her It was unwise to call In outside help, Its your touch does It. he said oracularly. Nobody can match that and nobody would pay half our prices If It were lacking. A phone had soon been Imperative. Over it, came a thick. Jolly call Landlord Mlggs of the best hotel in town, demanded imperiously: The best of everything and scads and scads of It specially little cheese cakes and the plum cake, In wait for New Year with wafers, pound cake, beaten biscuit and any other little trimmings Miss Blah might think tasty. Price? Never name It Stranger was real lousy with money and burnin' up to spend It Things must come by twelve o'clock next day. Could they make It? Mies 'Blah shouted yes over Listons shoulder, then hurried to lieglu puff puxte and beaten biscuit Nobody slept before mldulght or luter than dawn next morning. In result Liston carried the big order on time to the dot and found himself face to face with hi father, Ida stepmother, and her willful daughter whom Liston hod been bidden to marry, whether or no. Here's Mlggs had shouted loudly: our Mr. Providence. Thus the family knew by what name the fugitive was sheltered, no leu his acquired trade. Liston pere tried hard to frown, but blood betrayed him, and In spite of himself he was hugging the runaway, putting him on the back, babbling, almost blubbering: Son It's It's like yon had risen from the dead. I have, dad, said Liston, wringing the paternal hand, his eyes misty and something hard to swallow In his throat I was a graceful, selfish cob. Hard work has, I hope, made the beginning of a man of me. Yon must come and see the good people who have helped It " Il-Is there Mrs. Providence? the father asked. Ills stepdaughter frowned darkly, and her mother cast up her eyes, groaning. Liston, standing his stralght-est- , gazing eye to eye with his parent said almost devoutly: Not yet, but It will be us she says. Let me show you to her before I ask the question. It may help. Whether or no he did was never settled. But he married Everllna with full paternal blessings. Wliat the Inlaws thought Is better left untold.
