THE WOOING
OF ROSYBEL.
By KATHARINE K. CROSBY.

Literary Press.
'
Farmer John considered him a most
ungodly young man and forbade him to
enter the yard. He also forbade his
daughter. Rosybel. to leave the yard,
except on Sundays, when she could 90
to church under his eagle eye.
It may be that Farmer John's Ideals
were rather exacting. Itosybel thought
them so anyway. To her there was
nothing absolutely wicked about a pipe
of tobacco, especially if the pipe were
of the rakish tyjie affected by young
men who had l>oen to college.
Dick Melton bad been to college. In
deed his A. 1$. was barely a fortnight
old. Now he was touring the country
after a fashion all his own In the
search of amusement.
He told his father that he wanted to
see something of life before entering
upon that glorious political ^career
which his doting parent saw stretching
before his eldest l>oru.
Now, touring suggests n gay and fes
tive motor car, all red enamel and
staring brass work, but Dick had es
chewed such vanities as all too com-'
monplace. He was touring In a hay
rack.
Besides Dick there was in the hay
rack a variety of commodities? a pile
of boards of .assorted sizes, for In
stance; a couple of canvas contraptions
which when you gave them a chance
evolved Into a cot bed and a lounging
chair; a nickel plated pall, which could
be transformed by some miracle Into
a complete dialing dish outfit; a small
table and, most Important of all, a
camp orgau of the sort carried about
by wandering evangelists.
When Farmer John Issued his edict
that the young man who had dropped
Into church from nowhere at all and
walked home from the tneetlug with
his 'daughter Itosybel should not enter
his premises 011 pnln of death? via
bulldog Towser? Dick was rather
pleased than otherwise.
HLs vacation bade fair to furnish
more entertainment than he had an
ticipated. Moreover, he was really
very much taken with Rosybel, who
was not oul.v the prettiest girl wbom
he had met with lu his travels, but
was also blessed with a sense of hu
mor. This Is an arlorable combination,
hard to resist.
The afore mentioned edict was pro
nounced on Sunday evening, when
Dick again presented himself to see
Itosybel home from meeting. On Mon
day morning the hayrack drove Into
the field which was ltordercd In part
by the neat white palings of Fanner
Johu's homestead fence.
The field did not belong to Farmer
John. Quite near the fence, in the
shade of a big elm tree, the young man
proceeded to assemble the boards
which he had taken from the hayrack.
It happened that IlosybtTs garden
had run sadly to weeds over Sunday,
and she was obliged to spend consider
able time out there on Monday morn
ing In consequence.
As the garden was between the house
and that particular part of the fence
where the elm tree stood, she could
not help seeing what the young man
wa&. about. For one thing, lie was
smoking, except at times when he re
moved the pipe and sang a bacchana
lian ditty aliout a stein on a table,
which Itosybel was -glad her ftither
did not hear, for he nlways voted no
license.
For another thing, the young man
was building a house, which In her
part of the country is not often gone
about so casually. There was, bow
ever. neither pounding of nails nor
noise of saw. The birds sang undis
turbed In the branches of the elm tree,
and the hang bird In her nest wntehed
him without alarm.
When Farmer John came In from
the fields at noon he snorted at the
sight of his new neighbor. By this
time the house was nearly done. Dick
was hanging the front door, and there
remained only the piazza steps to be
put in place.
When Farmer John (,-ame in from the
fields at night the cSnip organ was
hard at work on the piazza:- Later
many couples came strolling by, on the
lookout to see Koslc's new fellow.
They came to see and remained to
dance. The grass had been clipped
short, and the strains from the organ
invited to "Portland Fancy." "Lady of
tiie Lake" and kindred measures.
When they had gone, Rosybel stole
down to the fence from the place
among the shadows where she had
been watching the scene. Dick got to
the fence first, and there was neither
pipe nor song In his Hps.
By the shine of his eyes you might j
have guessed that there was a whole 1
cycle of songs In his heart, all having
for chorus the refrain, "Itosybel, '
daughter of John!" .It was not long, I
however. l>efore they were interrupted ;
by the vojee of this same John calling
loudly for Rosle.
It now became the favorite pastime
for lovers, young and old, married and
courting, to go down to the Old Mill
road to watch the wooing of Rosybel.
Usually there were music and dancing,
but ouce they had a grand candy pull
after the chafing dish had lieen unlim
ited and brought into action.
On this occasiou Rosybel came down
from her place among the shadows
and "pulled" with Dick over the fence.
That was the gayest evening of them
all. for Farmer John was attending a
g.ange meeting over the mountain an J
no sound of revelry could reach him.

Some one said he was short - landed
for the haying next week. Is that . ?
"Yes He can hardly get help, but
what"- The sound of approaching
wheels threatened Farmer John s ar
rival. and her questlou was not

Farmer -lohn was nearsighted and
never interested in matters of pereon
allty. He chuckled afterward ' bxct the
good bargain he bad made, to
dit Ion to the'horse and hayrack which
the man offered along with his services
he would furnish his owu meals.
He realized that this was unusual,
the stranger said, but he had 1" ges

Rosybel. listening around the corner,
did not know whether to laugh or e

which prevented his eating forbidden

under the elm tree, and Hick showed
her the new callous spots which the
day had brought forth, the while he

Rosybel listened eagerly and let her
eves tell him what sho thought of him.
which was very pleasant for Dick and
made life altogether worth living.
By Saturday the hay was well in ex
cept from a choice patch of clover
which the farmer had been obliged to
leave out overnight. It was all sea
soned and cocked and ready for the
fork. The weather had been line all
the week, and when the men turned
Into their beds at an early hour there
was still no threat of change.
In the middle of the night, however.
Dick was wakened by a low rumble o
thunder. The young man's first
thought was of those haycocks over in
tho west mowing; his next was to ge
there before the rrtin. Stopping on y
for trousers and shoes, he rushed out
to where his horse was picketed. The
moon gave light enough l>ctwecn gath
ering clouds for him to see his waj to
the field, where he put In a half hour
of such work as he bad never known,
even in football season.
The hayrack was loaded and undei
way for the barn before the rain
struck. Farmer John met him In tho
farmyard with a lantern as he drove
up in a hurry and stared at lilm In
astonishment.
"Open that barn door, you loafer.
Dick veiled In his excitement quite
forgetting that he was addressing the
father of Rosybel. Farmer John was
not used to beiug called a loafer, but
when he came to understand the situ
ation he rather liked it.
When the hay was safely housed and
the bam door padlocked lie Invited the
young man Into the house to dry off
There he bustled about and built
fire In the kitchen stove, and while
Dick was toasting his feet In the oven
the old man surveyed him thoughtful
ly. Presently he Inquired mildly.
"What do you do for a llvlug, young
follow?" , . .
"Going into polities." Dick responded
modestly. ? , , .
"Grange or capital'.- demanded
Farmer John. It was a crucial qnes
tlon. ? ?
"I'll stand for the farmers e\'-.J
time." Dick assured him, and that set
tlctU it- The two were earnestly
cussing the ownership or wild Inr-j
when the sitting room door opened and
Rosybel appeared.
Neither saw her. aud presently the
conversation took a more personal
"Do I understand." asked I' armor
John, "that you're talking of getting
Rosybel to finish your education for
"With your consent, yes," replied
Dick politely.
"She can teach ye a lot Women
folks mostly can. Well, seeing as
vou've the makings of a farmer If poll
tics fall, she cati have the job If she
wants it." . t
A little gasp from the girl brought
them both to their feet. Dick's Inter
est In the farm versus capital was for
the moment In abeyaneo as he crossed
quickly to her side.
"When does school open, RosybeW
he demanded tenderly. Farmer John
picked up a candle and stumped to
ward the back hall door.
"Usually, begins 'bout September
round these parts," he grumbled as he
went out. lie foresaw that on the
next day. which was Sunday, he would
walk home from church alone.
"But It's you who will be the teach
er." corrected Rosybel some time later,
and Dick, after the way of men. was
not at too many pains to set her right.
