Joel hummed and hawed, and stammered out 
at last, “Yes, yes; come back, Biddy—I mean 
Miss O’Flynn—I mean Miss—” 
“ Barbie,” suggested the girl quietly. 
“Yes, comeback; and the sooner the better. 
There, Anson, make the most on’tt” 
Barbie did come buck, in a very few weeks, 
too, and nobody was gladder to see her than old 
Joel, though he was a little shy at first of Pro¬ 
fessor Halstead’s girl. Bhc soon made him for¬ 
get, however, everything save that she was 
Anson’s wife; and the way he humored the sly 
puss to sundry grants of mouey, refurnishing 
and repairs, etc., I eouldu’t begin to tell you. 
But I’d like you to see the Shellcnbarger place 
since Barbie has gone there to live. 
) t whs several hours before he could return 
to the house, his father having joined him, and 
upon one pretext and another detained him. 
When at last they entered together, kitchen 
and sitting-room, both of which hud been in a 
most untidy state when they left there, had un¬ 
dergone such a romavkably renovating process 
that old Joel drew back at first, thinking he had 
set. foot, in somebody eise’s house instead of his 
own. Supper was smoking on the table—such 
a supper as old Joel, at. least, had not seen in 
months. To crown all, Mrs. Shellenbarger was 
sitting, propped with pillows, in a great easy 
chair, and looking woudromdy contented, and 
with reason — the. poor lady had not had a 
woman’s hand about her before since her ill¬ 
ness. They 11 ved i n such an isolated, inhospita¬ 
ble manner, that very few of their neighbors 
even knew that, Mrs. Shellenbarger was not as 
well as usual. Biddy, as she called herself, had 
tidied the poor lady up in a wonderful manner. 
Joel Shellenbarger sat down to the daintily 
spread t able, and made a most hearty and keenly 
relished meal, glancing askanee at Biddy mean¬ 
while. Anson, strange to say, ate very little, 
anti he watched Biddy askauee too. 
This was ouly the beginning of reforrus this 
daring girl instituted. First, however, as much 
for her own peace of mind as Auson's—know¬ 
ing that mother and son were fust friends ami 
always of one opinion—she told her secret to 
Mrs. Shellenbarger, and fairly wheedled the 
good lady into approval. It is true that she 
shook her head at first, and looked wondrously 
shocked. But it was so charming to have those 
little soft hands fluttering about her, and to see 
such brightness and comfort spring up around, 
that she could not, for her owu sake, help coun¬ 
tenancing, as much as silence could, Biddy’s 
mysterious presence. 
I haven’t time to give yon all particulars, but 
having made a good beginning, with a true 
Irish facility, Biddy established herself in a 
ver y short time completely in the good graces 
of the old man. lie had a lurking likeness for 
neatuess and order, and Mrs. Shellenbarger— 
poor lady!—wasn’t a very tidy housekeeper. 
Under the new reign, order grew out of chaos: 
the house seemed in holiday garb all the time, 
and an atmosphere of social cheerfulness per¬ 
vaded a very thing. 
One morniug — Biddy had said something 
about leaviug the day before — the old man 
ended a grumbling complaint of Anson with “ I 
never see no good come of eddic-atiou yet- If it 
hadn’t a been for that, college business you might 
have, taken a liking to a sensible girl, and she to 
you.” lie glanced at Biddy as he spoke. She 
tamed scarlet, and came near dropping the dish 
she was holding. It whs not the first time 
An sen had heard such insinuations, and he 
rather enjoyed Biddy’s trepidation. 
“See here, father,” lie said, roguishly", “just 
you pick me out a wife, and see what, will come 
of it.” 
“The only girl I know of, worth having, 
wouldn’t have you, I dare say—would you, Bid¬ 
dy 1” Joel said grumblingly, but suddenly, turn¬ 
ing to the girl. 
Anton was smiling maliciously. Bridget 
O’Flyun had kept Barbie's lover at a most tan¬ 
talizing and unrelenting distance all this time. 
He was taking his revenge now. Making a 
desperate effort, Biddy rallied her confused 
senses to say, with considerable self* possession, 
“Skure, sir, an’ it isn’t mesilf that'll be afther 
havin’ any mon till I’m asked.” 
“Biddy, will you marry me?” said Anson, 
gravely, extending his hand. 
“I will that, now,” said Biddy, promptly 
putting her hand In his, while old Joel came 
near choking with amazement. It was too 
late to recede, however, whether he had really 
wished such a thing or not, as they soon made 
him understand. He went out of doors pres¬ 
ently, and privately pinched himself to ascer¬ 
tain if he were in his senses or not. Seeing the 
two standing by the window in close conversa¬ 
tion soon alter, he crept with the Hame laudable 
intention toward them, under cover of the 
bushes that grew by the house. 
“Wow, Barbie,” Ansou was saying, laugh¬ 
ingly, “ what is to be done next? I must say, 
you’ve managed wonderfully so far; but what 
do you suppose he’ll say when ho knows you’re 
not Biddy at all ?” 
“Not Biddy at all?” screamed Joel Shellcn¬ 
barger, struck with a sudden suspicion of he 
knew not what, as he started out of his covert. 
There stood Biddy, the white frill of her close 
cap as immense as ever. Sue laughed, though, 
when she saw him, and deliberately taking off 
her cap, shook her bright curls all about her 
face, and reaching toward Mm her little band, 
said, archly, “Shure, sir, ah’ ye won’t be afther 
hatin’ a poor girl because ber name’s Barbie 
Halstead Instead of Biddy O’Fiynn!” 
“You—you Professor Hklstead’s girl?” 
“Professor Halstead is ray father, sir,” said 
Barbie, in her natural tonet. 
“What’s that?” 
Barbie repeated it. 
“And you’re not Irish?” 
“Niver a bit l” 
The old man stood a moment, clouds gather¬ 
ing in his face. 
“Well, Anson,” ho aiid, rather surlily, 
“you’ve outwitted me agsin—much good may 
it do you. You’d better get out the horses 
now, aud take Halstead’s girl home, lie must 
want to see her by this tide,” 
“ Yes, sir.” Aud Anson colored with min¬ 
gled anger and amazement, 
Barbie did not change countenance, however, 
Extending that pretty hapd of hers again, she 
said sweetly, “ You'll shake hands with me, 
sir?” 
Joel Shellenbarger turned back and gave his 
hand awkwardly. The girl took it in both hers, 
bending her bright, arch Bee toward him, and 
saying, “ I shall comehacksome time, sir. Will 
you be glad to sec me ?”

of the stranger. The face— what, could be seen 
of it—was a vary curious one to be inside of 
such a bonnet, and cap. Just now, as she sur¬ 
veyed the kitchen and Anson—herself still un- 
seen—the muscles about her mouth twitched 
nervously, and her eyes twinkled with roguish 
brightness. 
Presently Anson looked that. v> ay. 
Instantly the face took lugubrious length, and, 
coming into the room, the girl said, insinua¬ 
tingly, but without looking at him: 
“ An’ would you be afther hirin' a servant the 
day?” and stood fidgeting with the fringe of 
her shawl. 
“ 1 believe not,” said Anson, coloring, with 
some annoyance, perhaps, at the nature of his 
employment. 
“Shure, sir, an’ the lady that sint me—God 
bless her swate eyes!—said you’d be shure to 
take me on ber recommendation, which I has 
in my pocket—aud here ’tis now.” 
She gave him a little note, which proved to be 
from Barbie Halstead. Anson read it with very 
lover-like carefulness, but shook his head. 
“ I am very sorry, my good girl, but we do 
not wish to hire a servant- ” 
“Belike your father mayn’t object whin he 
sees me,” the girl persisted. 
Anson looked at the soiled white bonnet and 
the red feather, and repressed a smile, wonder¬ 
ing what his father would say. But he was of 
too kindly a nature to be willing to expose even 
this servant to his father’s rough manner. He 
repeated what he had said before, assuring her 
that it would be of no use to see hi* father. 
The girl stood a moment—“If ye plase, sur, 
I’ll just see him a momint. Belike he may take 
a likin’ to the look o' me.” 
And before he could reply she had crossed the 
room, and stood upon the threshold of the next. 
Anson followed presently, curious to see what 
sort, of a reception she would get. 
“Shure 3u* I’ll do plinty rnore’n I’m worth to 
yees,” she was saying, with innocent emphasis, 
as Anson entered.

PROFESSOR HALSTEAD’S GOU 
A crochety and contrary old chap was Joe. 
Shellenbarger, a rich old farmer, as mulish as 
the donkey in his barn. He had made his way 
in the world by the doggedost obstinacy—seiz¬ 
ing hold of whatever came in his way, and re¬ 
taining that hold as though life depended upon 
it. Joel’s mulishness had literally been the 
making of him , though you mightn't have con¬ 
sidered the little potrbellied, thick-skulled old 
man as much of a make after all. 
Joel had one son—a handsome, clear-headed, 
active young man—tall, straight as a young 
larch, and as set in his way, when he chose to 
have one, as old Joel himself. This son, as he 
grew up, had proved a great assistance to his 
father in working the farm, and his services 
hud been made the most of, the old man manag¬ 
ing to keep him at home with him some time 
after he ought to have been doing for himself. 
Not an acre of the father’s possessions was ever 
called the son’s; he owned nothing in the world 
save a horse which some neighbor had given 
him when it was a sickly colt, and some sheep 
obtained in much the same manner; and the 
old man grudged 1dm the keeping of these. 
Joel Shellenbarger and his son Anson differed 
often, but there were two points in which the 
difference amounted to something serious. The 
first point concerned education, for which Ihe 
old man had the mo6t profound contempt, and 
the son had not. There was a college some 
dozen miles from the Shellenbarger farm, and 
thither—having thoroughly prepared himself, 
in spite of fatherly tliwartiDg and opposition— 
Anson betook himself, in spite of the same con¬ 
tinued opposition, and by «ne contrivance and 
another, ami helped ouL by hla mother’s small 
marketing, kept himself there till he graduated. 
Joe. SheUcnbarger contested the ground inch by 
inch, but was afraid, in his selfishness, to do any¬ 
thing more than be obstinate, lest his son should 
leave him. That was the first point of differ¬ 
ence, and that was how Anson settled it- The 
second was not likely to be of so easy an :tr- 
rangement. 
At college Anson bad found something beside 
graduating honors. He had chanced upon a 
very charming combination of curls and azure 
eyes—a red-lipped, dimple-cheeked fairy, daugh¬ 
ter of one of tho professors, who, instead of 
curving ber dainty lip at the homespun suit 
which his poverty and his father’s niggardli¬ 
ness compelled him to wear, never seemed to 
be consciousof any thing or any body else when 
he was by. 
In short, Ansou had found some one to love, 
somebody that he wanted to marry, as he 
gravely informed his father. You should have 
seen the old man’s eyes; it was a mercy, they 
were fast in their sockets. Here was gratitude I 
This Anson, having already defrauded his old 
father of so much of his time, was going now 
to set the seal upon his absurdity and disobe¬ 
dience by marrying a * l town girl I” Bad enough 
to marry any one, seeing his father wasn’t 
through with him yet—but a town girl! He 
should never consent, and every Shcliabarger 
acre should go to strangers before Anson should 
have one, if be persisted in an idea so ridicu¬ 
lous 1 
“And prayjwhat harm is there in being a 
town girl?” questioned Barbie Halstead, when 
Anson told her, half laughing, half vexed, aud 
altogether rueful—for, without assistance from 
his father, he could not marry Barbie for a long 
time yet. 
Anson laughed again, hut with some embar¬ 
rassment, saying, “ My father iB afraid that a 
daughter of Professor Halstead would not make 
a very good farmer’s wife,” 
“ Does he think—?” Barbie hesitated, look- 
ing'jWith smiling perplexity,at her,;little white 
hands. 
“ That these pretty bands don’t know much 
about brewing and baking, etc.?,'Exactly; I 
believe he thinks just that.” 
“ Then he thinks wrong,” said Barbie, red¬ 
dening, and looking up at her lover with a com¬ 
ical little pout. “Didn’t. I hear you say you 
needed a Servant, at. home? I’ve a mind to go 
down and offer for the place.” 
Anson laughed again eDjoyingly. 
“ We need one badly enough, but my father 
will not sutler one inside the house.” 
“ Why, how do you live, then? Who cooks 
for you, now that your mother is ill V* 
“ We do our own cooking,” Anson said, with 
a return of the half-smiling, half-embarrassed 
expression. “We cook for ourselves, or do 
without.”

AN ANAGRAM. 
She talked rapidly, pouring ] 
out such a torrent of words that the old man i 
could not by any possibility slip one In among 
them, and sat regarding her with an expression 
of the most ludicrous astonishment. 
This remarkable volubility completely baffled 
the old man’s slowness. He could not suy a 
word if he wished to, and when she concluded 
at last with “I can make flapjacks and corn 
bread that’d bring the very eyes out iv yer 
head and make ye swally yer tongue with de- 
lightsomeneEB,” (if he bad a weakness it was for 
flap-jacks and corn-bread.) he could only twirl 
his thumbs In a sort of delicious awe, and tisk 
her with a canning smile how much she ex- 
peoted “ to get for doing all them things.” 
“ Seventy-five cents a week,” was the prompt 
reply. 
JVith a still more cunning laugh, Joel offered 
her half the money. Greatly to his amazement, 
she agreed at once, and he found himself, to use 
hie own’expressioD, “in for it.” To add to his 
chagrin, Anson stood by, laughing with intense 
enjoyment. 
But the girl, without further ado, proceeded 
to disencumber herself of bonnet and shawl, 
and vanished in the direction of the kitchen 
before anything could be said. As she shut the 
door she stole a glace at Anson that made him 
start and bite his lips, and presently he stole 
kitchenw-ard also. She was already at work, 
handling the broom like an adept, aud grum¬ 
bling in her rich brogue at the dust that had 
accumulated in the corners; for the extent of 
Anson’s and his father’s sweeping had been to 
brush the center of the room, somewhat to the 
disadvantage of the rest. 
She did not look up as Anson entered; but he 
sat dow n and deliberately, hut furtively watched 
her. For some time she seemed unconscious of 
his scrutiny; but presently she turned, and 
clasping both little hands upon the top of the 
broom-handle, said, with a mixture of bravado 
and archness too natural to be mistaken, 
“Well, Anson, what do yon think?” 
The young man laughed and looked annoyed 
in the same breath. 
“Then it is you, Barbie?” he said, “I was 
suspecting something of the sort.” 
“Not till 1 looked at you,” said the girl, ro¬ 
guishly, retreating as he approached. 
“Doyou think this is quite the thing, Bar¬ 
bie?” 
« Shure, an’ why ain’t it the thing for a poor 
girl to be gettin’ her livin’ daceutly and hon¬ 
estly?” 
And that was all he could get out of her? 
Haviug acknowledged hor identity with Barbie 
for an instant, she was the most unapproachable 
“Biddy ” the next, and would have nothing to 
say to him save in that character. 
“Does your father know of this, Barbie? 
What would he say ?” persevered Anson, anx¬ 
iously. 
“Shure an’ it's not me owu fader would be 
interferin’ wid mo, would he?” said Biddy, 
lu vain were all remonstrances with the 
roguish and willful girl. She persisted in being 
Biddy, even to him, and maintained a distance 
between them very different from that between 
him and Barbie in her owu proper self. An¬ 
noyed, provoked, chagrined, almost angry, the 
advent of his father forced him to retire from 
the kitchen, for fear of betraying Barbie's se¬ 
cret., which he would not have done for a great 
deal.
