‘* No,” said Dorothy Mallard, ‘* I won't run the farm with any man on shares! I’ve seen enough of that in father’s time. It was always the man that got rich, and father that lost.”’
‘* You won't, eh ?” said Silas Green, red- dening angrily.
‘*No,” said Dorothy, ‘*1 won't !”
‘Then I guess you and the children will starve,” growled Silas.. “*Anyhow, I guess nobody’ll be sorry for you.”
‘It’s very well to talk about sympathy and help and 4!l that sort of thing,” said Dorothy Mallard. ‘‘ But when it comes to business, I’ve observed that every man’s hand is for himself.”
‘*But no woman ever yet made a farm pay,” said Silas Green, sullenly biting the end of a burnt match.
‘* Well, anyway 1 mean to have a try at it,” said calm Dorothy.
She was not quite twenty, this positive young ferale—a tall, well-made woman, with bright, gray-blue eyes, wnid-white complexion and very dark brown | hair, brushed straight away from her ismooth forehead.

‘*Pretty nice "backer, sar,” chuckled old Jubal, who, in his ragged working suit, was working in the little plantation, with an de- casional pull at a clay pipe.

‘*What will you take for it,” Mayhew, ‘‘as it stands ?”
**Mns’ ask Miss Dawthy,” slowly shaking his head. *‘Miss Dawthy’s de boss. Ole Jubal dunno nufiin’.”
‘‘Where is this Miss Dawthy of yours ?”
‘She done took a load ob eggs an’ poul- try into town,” said Jubal. ‘‘Massa mus’ wait,”
said Mr.
‘*‘Who owns this farm!’ Mr. Mayhew asked.
‘*Miss Dawthy,” said Jubal.
‘“Who works it ?”’
**Miss Dawthy.”
‘“‘She must be a smart woman,” observed
a healihy red-| Mr. Mayhew, carelessly. 7 ‘*Dat she jes’ is!” said old Jubal. ‘*Ag

And Silas had perhaps learned to !domineer a little in a good-natured way, Consequently he did not approve of this new outcropping of Dorothy's indepen- deuce.
‘I’d marry her in a minute if she'd hear of my way of doing things,” saidhe. ‘* Of course the little girls are old enough to be (bound out. I know plenty of good, sensi- ble women who would give them their board for the work they would do. And as for the little b Vy, we would not quarrel about him. There’s lot’s of old chores a | boy like that would be useful for,”
But Dorothy’s eyes had flashed indigna- tion when Silas had hinted some such arrangement.
“Do!” she said bitterly. ‘‘Send little Abel to the workhouse. That’s the way to manage. And as for the girls, it’s a pity we don’t live in Singapore or Bombay, or some of those places where they fling all the girl babies into the river before they are old enough to be in the way. I wonder, Silas Green, what you take me for.”
So Dorothy gave up all hope of married | life, and set herself to work to earn a live |lihood out of the old farm.

| ‘It’s no use my thinking of wheat and rye, and potatoes, and that sort of thing,” said she. “It would require too much capital and too many hands. Beside, father used to say that the market was overstocked. I']] put the b: corn lots into tobacco. That’s a crop that a lady can handle. Old Jubal will help me about the curing for a mere trifle ; and I'll put some grape vines up them rocky terraces by the south woods, and the big strawberry field is coming into fine bearing this year. I’m glad I set out the young plants last June, and watered ’em all through the drought. And then there’s the young chickens. We | never did have such a fine lot before. And Polly, and Chatty, and Bess, and Belle are old enough to plant a deal; and I know that little Abel can at least weed straw- berries and help pick worms off the tobacco leaves, child though he is. He'll like to think he’s helying, too. There is a deal of ambition in that Jad.”
Old Jubal was a rheumatic old colored man who travelled around the country, mending tinware and re caning chairs. His laziness was a proverb through the whole neighborhood; but, nevertheless, Dorothy Mallard contrived to get some good heavy work out of him.
“If dar’s anyfing dis chile un’erstans, it’s de car’ ob tobacco,” said old Jubal. ‘‘Doan you fret, Miss Dawthy ; I'l) guarantee de crop turns out fust best.”
And so Jubal took up his residence in the barn chamber, where he smoked himself into semi-stupefaction of an evering, and told ghost stories that made little Abel’s flaxen hair stand on end, between the pipe- lightings.
**An old man of seventy and a child of seven!” jeered Silas Green. ‘‘We'll see what sort of farming that is
Dorothy turned short around upon him. ‘*] believe,” said she, with glittering eyes, ‘chat you would be pleased, Silas-—yes, actually pleased—if I was to fail in this enterprise of mine.”
‘*Weill, I calculate it would teach you a pretty good lesson,” said he, disagreeably.
But as time went on, the chickens grew as fat as if they had been in Dorothy's con- fidence, and were secretly preparing — the selves for the grid-iron and the spit ; the ripening strawberries crimsoned all the

Miss Dorothy Mallard worked late and early. She herself took her crops into town with a borrowed wagon and the old blind pony, which, having being turned out into the world to die by a heartiess clam-vendor, had been led home and fed on juice grass by Abel and Chatty, and who had develop

What True Merit Will Bo.
The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s German Syrup within a few years has astonished the world. It is without doubt the safest and best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and effectual cure of Coughs, Colds and the
severest Lung troubles. It acts on an entire ly different principle from the usual prescrip tions given by physicians, as it does not dry up a Cough and leave the disease still in the system, but on the contrary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the ‘parts affected, and leaves them in a purely healthy condition.
