SPRING,
A THE SUGAR CAMP.
(Portland Transcript.)
“Goin’ to make sugar this year, neighbor
Dunlap ?”
The speaker wasa young man of perhaps
twenty-two or three. He stood carelessly
upon his empty sled, directing his oxen by
word,

He was a handsome young fellow; |

lwants the sugar place, let him take it on the | sane terms anybody else would— half an’ half. | You to furnish buckets and spouts, and so on, and he to furnish labor.”
So Mrs. Dunlap having cut the Gordian knot, the matter was speedily settled, and Norman was free ty join the group of young people by the piano.
For a time they sang glees and quartettes, | theic voives harmonizing sweetly. Then they ,adjourned to the kitchen, where they popped
a ae and then the merest touch of | corn and frolicked until they were tired, and the whip, while he turned partly around to
were glad to come back to the sitting room and sit down quietly to eat their apples. ‘‘Name my apple,” said Hetty, suddenly,
even the voluminous and somewhat ill-fitting !t. Abbie Chellis, who responded promptly :
wraps with which he was incumbered could not conceal the easy grace of his well develop- ed figure.
It was bitterly cold. The sled-runners creaked upon the snow, icicles hung from the patient oxen’s nostrils, and the two men, _re- turning from the village whither they had gone with sleds heavily loaded with wood a few hours before, stamping their feet anc slapping their benumbed hands, to keep the circulation up. :
**Wall, 1] dunno, Norman,” replied the elder man. ‘*Why?’ :
“TI thought if your wasn't goin’ to use your
place this spring, mebbe we might fix up al
trade, so’s that I could work it along with mine,”
‘Well, pr’aps we can;} stop and havea bit of supper as you go along, and we'll talk it over,
‘‘Not to-night,” returned the younger man. “I'm obliged to you, but my supper will be waitin’ for me. I'll come over by an’ by, if you're going to be at home.”
“Not much danger of my goin’ out agin this cold night,” returned Mr. Dunlap. ‘Come over, come over, and bring your sister along. We'll all be glad to see you.” And then he
turned in the gate of his own farm-yard, ‘and |
Norman Chellis, who lived half a mile farther on, urged his oxen to a quicker pace.
Farmer Dunlap chuckled to himself as he unyoked his oxen and gave them a_ plentiful supper. He thought he couid see how things were going. He did not for one instant sup- pose that Settee Chellis would have any desire to take his sugar place, if it were not for the opportunitles such an arrangement would give him for making love to Hetty Dunlap, the farmer’s one child, and he was well pleased to let such love-making go on. Fer Norman Chellis was a fine young fellow, sensible, kind-hearted, a good farmer, and well-to-do. He owned a well-stocked farm, free from incumbrance and it was no secret that his sister, who kept house for him, was to be married in the fall,
The two farms adjoined, and farmer Dunla often thought that if they could be combined by the marriage of Hetty and Norman, it would be a very handsome property.
As he pushed back his plate, after eating heavy supper of roast pork and apple sauce, finishing with a huge piece of mince pie, the farmer said carelessly to his wife :
“I guess Norman’ll be over after a spell. He kinder wants to work our sugar place this year, along with his’n; and he said he'd come talk it over bime by, soI told him to fetch Abbie along.”
“What does he want of our sugar place, I'd like to know ?” said Miss Hetty, with a toss of her pretty head, while the color deep- ened on her cheek.
She understood very well why he wanted the sugar place and, sly puss that she was, felt a little thrill of triumph, as she admitted the reason to her own heart.
**That’s his business, not mine,” said her father delibrately, ‘*You must.ask him if you Want to know.”
And Hetty tossed her head again and made a great noise clearing away the supper dishes, as she declared ‘it was nothing to her.’
The family had seated themselves in the sitting.room, the work being all done up before the expected guests arrived. had brought from the cellar a heaping dish of Baldwins, and polished them till their rich red cheeks shone. In the cool pantry a huge pitcher of cider was waiting sabe corn popper and some ears of pop-corn lay upon tie kitchen table.
Mrs. Dunlap settled herself in her favorite seat before the fire with her knitting work, while Hetty opened her piano and played some of her father’s favorite airs. For farmer Dunlap could refuse the one ewe !amb nothing, and when she set her heart upon a piano, the piano was bought, although he sold one of ‘his finest Morgan horses to raise the mouey.
W hile Hetty was playing, there came a knock at the door, and the farmer, nothing doubting that his expected guests were wait. ing, hastened to lighta candle and let them in. He found, however, that the singing master from the village had walked out to make a friendly call. Now, when a young man walks two miles, with the mercury below zero, to call upon a pretty girl, it argues that he is pretty far gone, and the farmer ushered this unexpected visitor in, with a sense of grim amusement as he thought of his coming discomtiture.
Hetty received the new comer with great cordiality, aud the two were chatting very merrily when Norman and Abbie Chellis came in, a little later. Norman frowned, as he saw the singing teacher so comfortably established
by Hetty’s side, and for a few moments a! little stitiness settled over the group. There |
was no good feeling between the young men. Hetty had gone to the singing school all winter in company with Norman and Abbie Chellis, but Norman had felt obliged to admit that Hetty seemed to care much more for Mr. Thornell’s society than she did for his, during the intermission and the brief time for chat- ting before the opening of the school. Then, too, Mr. Thoruell led the choir, so Hetty, who was at the head of the trebles, stood next to him on Sundays, often looking over the same book, while poor Norman, who was a bass singer, was forced to take a back seat, liter- ally, as well as figuratively.
It had seemed to him lately that he could never get a chance to see Hetty by herself, and when this evening, on which he had counted so much, he found his rival already
in possession of the field, he felt that it was
very hard. :
armer Dunlap took possnssion of him at once to talk business and settle about the sugar place, a very easy matter, when each man was so desirous of the same result. In fact, the difficulty seemed to be that it was too easy, until Mrs. Dunlap, hearing her husband say: 7 Just let us have what we need for our own use, and I shall be satisfied,” to which young Chellis replied :
“No, no. I just want enough to make up what I have promised to deliver in Boston, and you can have the rest,” thought it was time to interfere.
** Now, father,” she said, “‘ that-a
iat no kind of a way t) do business, If Norman
P | side.
Hetty
‘“* Very weil, I'll name it Mr. Thornell.”
Hetty bent gravely over her plate to count the seeds, and the singing-master drew near to (help her. Norman was sure that he slyly abstracted one or two; but Hetty was uncon- scious of it, if it were so, a real blush deepen- ;ed the color on her cheek, as Thornell said triumphantly :
** Kight, they both love.”
“I'm going to take another said Hetty, pettishly ; ** name this one, Abbie.”
** Norman,” returned Abbie,
And again Hetty counted the seeds, as if ‘it were a matter of life and death. Norman bent forward to make sure there was no cheating this time. He knew it was nonsense mere child's play, and yet he felt strangely anxious for the result. His heart beat juri- ously, his breath came quickly, and when Hetty announced with a nervous laugh :
‘Five I cast away,” he felt anaccountably depressed.
it was soon nine o'elock, Abbie put on her shawl and nubia, while Norman went out to get his horse. Farmer Dunlap urged Thorn- ell to “spend the night.” ‘It’s a long cold walk to the village,” he said, “and we've got a pleaty of beds. | Norman Cheilis, coming in to say the horse ; Was ready, did not half like the idea of his rivai’s sleeping at the Dunlap farm, and he volunteered, cordially enough, te drive him to the village.
** Abbie can wait here,” he said, and Abbie assured him of her willingness to do so.
But the singing teacher declined both offers and asthe merry jingle of Norman Chellis’ sleighbells died in the distance, he sat out on his long cold walk in the opposite direction.
He thought over the events of the evening as he strode rapidly over the crisp snow path. If Norman felt depressed, he was far from being elated. Hetty, it was true, had shown him marked favor, but he was by no means sure of her preference. And it was of vital importance to him that he should win her. Difficulties were closing around him on every If he could only stave them off until Hetty was his wife, he knew that Farmer Dunlap would help him for his daughter's sake, and once free trom his enganglements he would lead a new life. He had lived fast, had done many things which he ought not to have done, but he was notZeutirely bad, and al- though in lis manish selfishness he was willing to appropriate Hetty and her patrimony to himself, he said aloud, he walked on in the bright star-light.
“I do love her, and please God if I win her, I will make a good husband.”
‘“‘What possessed you to ask the singing master to stay to-night?” said Mrs. Dunlap, when she had her husband to herself. ‘“Can't you see that’s he’s dangling after Hetty? I for one don't want to give him no chances to ;cutout Norman. I don’t half like him,with his | white hands and black beard and soft ways.”
‘““Well, well, mother,” said the farmer, ‘there ain't no harm done, since he didn’t stay, and I don’t believe Hetty is such a fool as to j like a tinitied fellow like him, with his airs aud graces, better than she does Norman , Chellis, that she’s known all her Jife.” | ‘That's just the trouble,” said Mrs. Dun- ‘lap. ‘Girls don't know their own minds, and they're always taken with something new.”
But Hetty lay, far into the small hours, ‘asking her own heart which of the two wooers She loved, and her her heart was noncommit- j tal, and would not answer.
it was in the latter part of February that
| the young people met at Farmer Dunlap’s. It proved to be the last ‘cold snap’ of the sea-
son, Spring came on rapidly afterthat. The
singing school closed with a grand concert
which put a pretty little sum into the master’s
ipocket. Norman Chellis had his two sugar | places in operation, they being virtually but }one, since it was all one piece of woods and even the fence, which once marked the ordin- ary line between the farms, had been mostly pulled down. He was having a famous ‘run of sap.’ Daily he carried casks of syrup to the Dunlap house, and consulted with Hetty as to clarfying and sugaring off, and all the details of the sweet process. But he made no progress toward getting his heart’s desire. A barrier seemed to have risen between them, and he felt that he was indeed losing ground.
Thornell, freed from the care of his singing schoul, was at the farm constantly. He was singing or playing with Metty and reading poetry to her every day and frequently, at dusk, they walked to the sugar camp together, driving poor Norman nearly wild with jeal- ousy.
‘Can't we have a sugaring off?” asked Het. ty on one of her visits to the sugar place. ‘Don't you think it would be nice, Norman ” We can have a whole load of people from the villaye, and Abbie and I cook up a lot of things, and we'll eat hot sugar out here in the woods and have supper in the vamp.” | Norman was in such a fame of mind that if Hetty had asked him to lie down and let her walk over him, he would have done it unhesi- tatingly. So, although the poor fellow felt little enough like merry-making, he assented, and began making plans for the frolic at once. And so it happened that a few days later, the sugar camp rang with merry voices of young people. And a gay throng walked about among the grand oid trees. :
Mrs. Dunlap had negatived the proposition to eat supper in the woods. ‘‘No, no,” she said, ‘‘eat your sugar and doughnuts up there if you like, but when it comes to regular meals you want to have ‘em where you can sit down to a table and be comfortable.”
So Martha Jackson, the ‘help,’ and Mrs. Dunlap gave up the day to the preparation of (an ample meal, and Abbie Chellis sent over | her own hived girl in the afternoon, to lend a hand, knowing that there would be nothing for her to do at home. And so it happened that the Chellis house was closed and left alone.
The young people were gay and happy. Never was clear and amber syrup so delicious, (never did it wax so delightfully on such clear white snow. The doughnuts, which Abbie and Hetty had fried to eat with the hot sugar, as an antidote to too much sweetness, were crisp and light. Everything was as it should (be. A casual looker-on would not have ‘thought that guy heavy hearts were hidden in
