There wtl once a widow who bad
one son. who waa all she had In the
world to love and to love ber Being
a woman she knew her sex well and
was afraid that some designing girl
would snare ber son and pet him away
from her. Ooe day she wnt him to the
market to sell aoiue r*v> In order
that no mUrlit aee bow handsome
be waa the covered his head with a
pumpkin rind That he might not lay
his hands upon a girl ahe filled them
with the egga. not putting them In a
basket, bat leaving them loose In tils
hands.
"There." abe said as she saw him
walk away. "1 don't see how he can
get Into mnbte. If be nn-et* a girl ahe
will langh at him and go on. If be fol
lows ber be cannot touch ber with ei
ther bis bands or his Hps. I am well
pleased with what I hare done"
She followed him with ber eyes till
be bad passed out of sight, then went
Into the bouse. The young man went
on. and though hla mother waa right
la expecting person* to langh at him
abe did not count upon their wonder
lag why be was so equipped. The chil
dren booted at him the men shouted
and the women made facetious re
marts. He stood the )eers as well na

"1 am going to market." be said, "to
acil these eggs for my mother. Will
yon be good enough to permit me to go
over the stile T"
-First tell me why you wear that
strange helmet on your bead "
-My mother put It there. Why I do
not know. and. being a dutiful son. I
did not ask."
-And why <K> yon carry tboae eggs
loose la year hands Instead of In a

-That. too. was my mother's doing
but abe did aot teH me why "
"1 wonder what you look tike?"
-Other men. I suppose. But please
let me paaa or I ahall be late to mar

-1 prefer that yon ahoold alt beside
me on the stile. The market to open
