But Just thea she spied Horses Haad coming along the road, a an rightly named. for be was the handy man of the neighborhood, always solicittaing errands sad bringing mal unasked, for the pure love of doing favors, it seemd. And what did be do this very day but som to the door and. opening it familiarly, put In his bead sad ask: "Any errands I eta do for you at the vdlage today, Mi' Gibbs?"

Mrs. Stoce brought me as much as three or four pounds!" "Did you ever!" sand Etta sat dcwn and laughed and fanned herself with her hat, while her mother, having somewhat relieved her cheese-burdened mind. went on with her supper prepar ations. Etta was a £iscrect girl, and her mother was prone to share such burdens with her as she could not share with her husband. It was only a few minutes before Horace Hand came, swesting. into the kitchen. "I'm glad if I ain't too late," he said; "but. I vow. I was awful 'fraid you'd be all through your supper! Brown and the clerk were both busy, and I had to wait as much as half an boor, 'pears to me! Then he misunderstood me and put up two pounds instead of one; but I reckoned, perhaps. you wouldn't eare. It come to Just thirty cents." Mrs Gibbs hurriedly went for the money and paid him (leaving just tea cents in her puree), thanking him with a heartiness whichb, to herself, savored of hypocrisy. "It's all from Mrs. Stoe's cheese. too." she said to Etta. after he had gone. "She sold the cheese to Mr. Brown this morniag. If we had a va riety it wouldn't seem quite as bad. Well. I'm thankful for onee that John my is forgetful, for I spoke to him about getting me some as he came back from the cove (he went over there fishing), but be was sure be would for get it." "Trust Johany to frget anaything." said Etta. "And if be did go for it, the clerk would know I bought some, so be would tell Johnny, I should thlna." "And your father bought his of Mr. Brown, for I remember what bse said be told him. They ay Horace Hand always buys everything as if it was for himself-make him feel important, I suppose. But I somehow feel it in my baces that Johnny will come home with another plees of heese. 'It never rains but It pours,' you know." The tea table was at length reedy. with its snowy biscuit sad goldea June butter. a bountiful plate of ebeese at eachedof the table sad straw berries and mesam ad libitum. There M-ALL!- - gea N.
