DOW A WO»AN *S I XtLVEXCB BAVSD 4 MiUt'aLIFE ; THE DEATH OF UUMB HICK.

OHAPT flB I.He was a stalwart young former , a

grandl y buil t man , with a handsomebronzed face, bro ad should ers, feet whichstood squarel y upon the earth , and a pairof fearle ss eyes. Frank Maxwell, agedtwenty-five , owner of broad acres , a phy-sical frame ia perfect condition, and awell-developed mind , was a man to beenvied.

She was a daiuty maiden with a grace-ful figure, a complexion of mingled roseaand lilies, and eyes as bri ght and blue asthe summer skies. Daisy Spring field ,aged nine teen , owner of a beautiful face,a glad hearted , sunny disposition , andcountless pretty dresses , waa a woman tobe loved.

It was something less than a man , butmore than an animal , with a face of satyrlike hideousne ss, a misshapen back , bowedlegs, and a pair of arms so long tha t thebands hung low like those of a gorilla.Pumb Dick , of age unknown , owner of ahalf-witted mind, a body of abnormalstreng th and ugliness , and a Serce andungovernable temper , was a creature tobe shunned and distrusted.

These were the invariable jud gementsof every body wto knew all three ofthem.

Frank was an orp han living oa his ownfarm , unders tanding his business and ca-pable of conducting it in a thoroughlyefficient manner ; just the sort of manwho would bo likely to out a very respect-able figure ia the world , and end.by leav-ing bia children more money and moreacres than his father had left him.- Daisy was the only daug hter of a pros-perous lawyer , a lit tle inclined to bo vainof her good looks, but good by natureand thoroug hly pure-hearte d ; just thesort of woman to make an affectionatewife, careful of her home, a comfort U>her husband , and a friend to her children—the model Bri tish mation.

Dumb Dick was presumably the orphanchild of a gipsy woman , who had broug hthim long years ago to the work -house andh«d died there. Be was wild and un-manageable , bad ran away and refusedall control and lived how and where hecould , picking up odd jobs and scraps offood , bu t shunning all human society ;jus t the sort of creature to commit someawful crime ; and it was shame ful that heshould be allowed to wander at large.

These facta and deductions were thecommon talk of everybody who knew allthree of them.

Frank and Daisy stood toget her in thepat h of a httle wood. Dumb Dick wasalso in the wood , but he was hidden by athick screen of haze ls. Frank and Daisyfaced each other , and Frank held both p!Daisy's little while bands in ono of hisbrown palms. They both looked veryhappy, but their happ iness showed itselfin different ways. Frank 's happ inessoveiflowed in light from his honest biowneyes ; but Daisy 's eyes were bent towardstho ground , and her happiness could onlybo guessed by the smile which trembledupon her lips , and the pre tty blu sh flick-ering over her cheek. Dumb Dick , allunseen , clenched his fist and ground histeeth in lury, crump ling up his face intothe new ugliness of mingled rage andmisery.

The little wood was very still , save fora sli ght rustlin g among the dry leaves, orthe crack of a twijr. ben eath the nwift footof u squirrel , or the occasional full of aripe nut. And in th e silence and theshadow JOYuuk bunt forward and kitjyedDaisy lightl y on the lips.

Th en the lovers walked away together ,hand iu huud like a pair of happy chil-dren.

And , all alone behind his screen ofhazels , Dumb Dick flung himaulf down atut full length , clawing at the brow n earthwith hiu huuda aud giving vent to his feel-ings in inarticulate growlu of rage , anddry choking aubu of misery.

Of course there was no ren non why thesight of a pair of handsome and huppylovvru should have made this minshup eucrea ture either angry or wretched. Huthe was bad ae well us mad.

At least , so people said.

A Strange Story of Three. adise. Deep in his dream be heard themusic of a woman 's tnoios, and he saw theradi um ueouty of a woman 's fans: andthn—a nd then—stilt in hie dre am—somettt fiAu, viced seized bis vrri»V An fch*gra spof a rcl-Uoth and , and he awoke is agony.

A io,ir of anguish ' burst frora DumbDick an he leaped to his fwt holding biswrist , and stamp ing madly about in thebracken. . ;;; - , -.

Frank pulled in his bay."Hello , Dick!" heVafc ^ .-Fm afraid

In his momentary 'exoitemeiit Fran kpoured out questi ons ligonotje >bo haduo power to answer th/»B£>, '^a. fat DumbDick, he turned upon hi* qacDtiooer witheyes which blazed with fury t hic\ for amoment , he looked rody to; drag himfrom the car t and tear ^im in pieces. Buthe caught sight of Daly's pityin g glance ,and instan tly the fire, did oat of hiseyes. . '' . . ' . , . •

Without any warnin g Daisy. sprang tothe ground , and, timidly approaching thespot where Dumb Dick stood, aha laidher hand upon his .wounded , wrist Itwas as cool and white as a snow-flake up-on the hot hairy hand ; and he at oncesurrendered to her will. '. Showing no signof fear or disgust , but with- only tenderpity in her glance, Daisy examined thegreat hand, knotted and. clawed like thepaw of a wild beast. She saw that , ligh tthough the wheel of the dog-car t was, itsiron tire had cut the flesh nearly to tintbone ; and taking the white ' silk scarffrom her neck , she deftly bouud it roundthe wounded wrist , and stopped thebleeding. .- ; , '. . '

By this time Frank was standin g byher side. . ..' .

"This isn't work for you, my ! darling, "he said ; "let him go to the' UoSreSt doo-tor. Here , Dick," he added , "boo bowsoon this will heat your c^S1-^

As he spoke he tossed Mut fli'aoverei gnon the ground at DuifibV/JD sfck'u feet,slipped hja hand throu gh Diisy'g arm ,and dexterously lifted her back into herseat. In another memerit the cart hadbeen driven away.

Dumb Dick watched it until it washidden from view, and then he stoopedand picked up Frank' s half-sovweigu.

There was a sudden flash oriUght, anda tiny disc of gold went si§gusj| throug hthe air in the direction of tfet roood.

Durrb Dick's next act was to tearDaisy's white (scarf from tjaJi aMBt; andthen he Walked . away alo»jg''4he road ,marking bis track with blooa. '"

Ingra titude ? Unkind aefsT'Of course ;what else could be expected from such asDumb Dick? ; . ¦,

The fiery fing er-marks of antumn holonger lit up the faded foliage of the. littie wood -. only a few brown laavn clangto the skeleton branches of the trees, therest lay in ro tting heaps ai oundthe roots,fi tting grave clothes for the dying ferns,till the chill blasts should arise again andscatter them abroad. ] ] ',

Approaching the same spot along widelydiver ging paths came two figure *, theone tri pping lightly, and the other aloaching along with slow, limpin j strides.Thoug h the method of their advance wasdifferent , the rate of- their progress wasabout equal , and they met just at thepoiut wtiere the two paths formed ajunction wi th the main road.

Daisy, who had all along had her eyesfixed upon the last visible point of thesteep ly sloping main roud , looked up whenulio heard the shuflliog footsteps, and ,with a start , recognized Dumb Dick.

Dumb Dick , who had seen and knownthe first flutt er of Daisy 's dress ', in thedistance , now halted ; and his red eyespeered ou t strangel y from the tan gledrniiB SOH of hair which bung over bis face.

Daisy knew tha t Dumb Dick wan feaitfdand shunned by everybody t she hadhoard evil things reported of bis doings,aud she was not n little uturtlod at finding hersel f ulonn with him. She wishedho would pass her j but ho xtood quiteatill , and Doomed waiting for her to speak.

"Isy our hand bettor , Dick V she asked,touching her own wrist.

Ho seemed to understand , far he thrustMs hand ctamaily forward. An ugly,deformed and much knotted hand it Was,but , to her mirpris e, Daisy not iced that itwan now quite clean , aud its great elaif-lilio nulla hud been closely cut DumbDink pointed to a purple seal' on hit wristwi ll) the linger of his other hand , andDaisy saw that tl iia other finger was bothdiity nnd clawed.

Hlio looked hack at Dumb Dick's blink-ing rod eyes and uuiil od. A slngl* gUnoeut that one clean hand , misshapen andugly thoug h in was , hud driven all fearfrom her heart. I t wim an if the wing ofAii l l bud suddenl y sprouted from (lieuhouldvr of Caliban , and Minimi * , felt autj uiigo throb of joy, for her woman'sinstiuiit tolil her that she had some .my*,teriouu part in bring ing the firut si^n oforder in to this human chaos.

Nearer and nearer came the horfe , andFrank swayed more and more in the cart,till at last ho was so near that Daisy couldsee the terror in M a eyes. Then with aseries of awkwa rd leaps. Dumb Dicksprang to meet him j two long armsswung upward i, there was a whirl ofdust , a wild beating of hoofs, a sickenin gcrash , and all was still.

Then came a cry—"Hel p, Daisy 1 Quick!"It was Frank 's voice ! Thank God! he

was safe IDaisy ran forward and found Frank

bending over the motionless , figure ofDumb Dick.

"Quick , Daisy ! take my hat and ranand fetch Eotne water from the nearestditch. "

Daisy obeyed ; and then, kneeling inthe road , Frank opened Dumb Dick'scoat and course shirt , aud thrust in hishand. The hunch back s heart had ceasedto beat ; but when Frank withdrew hisband he drew forth ' a white silk soarfstained with' blood. He quickl y replacedit, and then ran to meet Daisy, who wasreturning with the water. '

"He is quite dead , poor fellow I" saidhe.

Then Daisy seized Frank' s hands andcried—

"Who was that it I saw standin g overyou as you knelt beside his body I Frank , itlooked like Dumb Dick himself , but itwas stra ight and beautiful. "

"I t must have been your fancy, Daisy.There was nobody there. "

And , of course , Frank mus t have beenright; for what had Dumb Dick to dowith strai gbtne ss or beauty, either iu lifeor in death ?—Albert E. Hooper, in theQuiver.

Another enstorn was for one 's neighbors to be on thenatch for the last load of grain takenfrom the field to the bam or riot, and aahe drove furi ously throug h the villagestreet to shower him and his load withbowlfuls of water. Some of oar farmersin this day would charter a fire engine toaccompany thia load horns as a counterirritant to the crowd. And then in theevening, or afternoon towards evening,would be dancing on tho green and heavyfeasting as only our English ancestorscould feast.

But the possibi lity of ada pting presentconditions the central idex ot a halt inthe labors of the farm to celebrate thesuccessful resul t of plowing, and cultivat-ing aud gatherin g the harvest—half un-spoken thanks giving and half merry-mak-ing and social visiting, is something wor-thy of consideration.

They celebrate now at Soatuo ld an-nnally the ingathering of harvest by whatthey call * Harvest Home. It seems aproper thing to do, and affords an oppor-tunity for all the people to meet, exchangeviews on all topics in the public mind, forlight gossip and mer ry-making generally.They lit o it and there is no good reasonwhy they shouldn 't. Is it a good thingto spread T To be adopted in agricaltur-al communities f

One thing, however, is quite certain.The people of to-day, In America, cannotcopy in detail, the old English custom ofharves t home. This always involved !thin gs not existing in our days. Thegrain fields were then oat with the sickle.Fancy a dozen men and young women,for thesa were always among tna reapers ,attackin g a field of a hundred or a thous-and acr es of wheat. Or even imagine afarmer starting out with bin Sons anddaughters and hired men to rea p with asickle, a little four acre field ,of wheat,Bnt the ceremonies and festivities , itf 'a

When I waa a young man in my teens ,runnin g my father 's farm, he away in Cal-ifornia with the forty-ninere , the sameidea came into my mind, and I "talked itup" with a few of the staid middle-agedfarmers. They fell in with the projectand told me to go ahead and make thearrangements. I notified the communitypersonall y and by committees and on thisday set there met for the first , and per-haps the last time at Long Springs , amultitude of all ages and both sexes, andmany assure d me it was the most enjoy-able outin g they ever experienced. Itwas a pic nic of old, middle-a ged andyoung, and just alter the oat harvest ,when a lull in work gave opportunity fora day off in the woods. If any one thenpresent ever doubted that Long Islandwomen knew how to cook, bo nar ver.doubt-ad after that. Nothia g otr oogar thancoffee in the way ot drink , «u aarved—but then the coffee waa almost divine.There is no reason why snob an annualnio-nic might not bo held and contributemuch to the hippiness of Urin e an thesocial life of the communit y. And some-thing miglit be said or done in the trim-ming of the vehicles, the tables and theperson to show it to be a harvest homefoitival, tho crowning day .ot the year'slabors , hopes and expectation *.

If any one suggtsu that this aeeaa tobo a substitute for Um annual KovemberThanksgiving it mast b» kept mindthat the central Idea of barred K -j i*rest after labor, and a merrv- malring r*tat that , oat in the open air in the longwarm days of summer. The oontnil ideaof the November Thanksg iving is givingthank * to the Almighty for personal andnational benefits. The first is secular andhas reference to man's personal exertions,and the second ii an act ot religiousthanksgiving for what God has donathroug h the operation of his universallaw* or otherwise. So that the two donot conflict nor can one be a substlte foethe othar.
