Both great doors of the barn were open and some lounged on the floor in u pleasant Breeze while others lingered on the coat porch of the Hosac or even explored the print dark parlor. Thirteen Strong voracious threshers were it Pitr tired for the Day Aud perhaps for several Days the length of their stay depend Long on the amount of Grain to be threshed and the durability of the machine at Job Asher s. They Hod eaten a huge dinner and there waa Only a no woman to Watt of them All.

Job Asker would by the exorbitant school Bill and she might have extras if Iho la Ettl Boue girls did but clothes were another matter. Clothes were u fleeting und evanescent vanity Job Asher aimed at the solid. Julia Asher went through her collegiate year Clad worse than any other girl in the institution and tinted Aud Mortill de in every any. But she had a Brave sensible nature Aud taking hold of her advantages she tried to live in them und forgot her .

J ule Asher s Calico Aud rough boots attracted his notice from the contrast with the elegant mud be frizzled Young ladies who were her classmates. Her Apt recitations Aud questioning mind Matte her a Comrade for him. He Bod been brought up to think Little of the Ashers yet he beheld Oue of the class who challenged not Only his respect but his admiration. Julia was a child he Felt quite a Man and therefore when he found her one evening in the Dusky Chapel crying passionately aver some mortification and As passionately determined to endure it without asking her father Todo any thing More for her he undertook to turn sole her. He leaned against the window while Julia dried her Eye nud delivering Hunt self of his own and his father opinion declared.

A a Well in a thankful to has t the faults of some other people a retorted the Asher. A a i done to think my father s it Ernecl a proceeded Charles mud i must say t done to sen Why the two families have to hiker always a Aud returning to the subject tit intervals the Young Man eventually found out that two members at least of tho rival families need never differ any More. They grew to Law quite of one mind. They consulted frequently of hard questions in me rantes they Hud something to say on the languages and perhaps in a language to each other. The not dlr grow right up before the let Wilsina girls Lief re they could believe their eyes they wrote Homo to Ali eur father and by that time vacation Imd come. Pett Elioue had threshers at tils Home of that hot Duy when the letter mine stating expel cloy that Charley owned to Lieng engaged to that Asher one of his men brought the mall nud to rotund Farmer read this lilt of news of tar a delightful dinner which in Nowise Tindill fled him.

He would just meet Charles at the Deport and have a talk with him there would lie a Good of for Lunty for the girls were not coming Home and they would have the Carriage to themselves. Charles was the eldest and his Pride lie would Send the Young Man East for a time until he overcame his fancy. He did no to know though but it would tie better to let the boy Sec that Asher girl at Home that would cure him Pettibone left his threshers to attend to their business and drove slowly toward the station to meet tho train. It was u very hot Day to was inclined to get along slowly and As he passed the Lane leading up to Asher a it occurred to him to go la Aud have a word with Job. If Job a girl had any design on Charles he would have it out with Job himself. Asher s men Hod gotten reluctant a up to resume Ali eur labors and he was perspiring with no inward fire of haste us great As the outward heat of the Sun. Job Asher was a lean Brown sharpened Man Aud Pettibone looked at Bint with All his old dislike intensified. Mrs. Asher hearing Carriage wheels came to the door and looked out eur girly the eagerness died out of her Fitce Aud she shrunk Back hiding her soiled apron As she saw her neighbor. 8he thought Julia had coma from the train ller husband had no time to go after the child to Day.
