QUAD. . tCopyright, 1311, by Associated literary Press.] passed the night in the U enterprisin' town of Here's II It, wherein I sold forty bob ties of my Pilgrim Pain AHe< vfstor at the usual price of 25 cents a bottle and thereby saved a dozen people at least from the yawnin* grave, I got an early start foe the town of Blasted Hopes and went gayly on my way. As the old hoss hitched to my . tintype outfit cavorted and gamboled and the flghtin' dog under the wagon growled and bristled I could not help but recall the old sayiu' that he who bath much shall have a heap more. There was the wad of the long green in my pocket, my grasshopper in a' bottle and ready to lick any other inseek in Oklahoma, a new stock of the alleviator, tintypes to be taken at 10 CALLED A SATAN IN DISGUISE. cents a take, with a clear profit of 8 Wf* Cents apiece on every one. With all m this wealth surroundir' me and a clear conscience snuggled up behind my L vest was it any wonder that I had no room to envy a Sc. Louis alderman H and his boodle? I was hummin* the air of a tune and feelin' that it was good to be W alive when I met an oldish man on , the highway. He had the gray locks Y and the long beard of dignity, and I suspected him of being n feller pilgrim long before I pulled in my boss and gave him proper saiuiauuu. When he had passed the time of day be informed me that his mission on this earth was to go around buildin' asylums fur snch children as had lost their lovin' parents by snake bites or other causes .and that now and then he paused in his travels to speak a few words of consolation, to the downtrodden and discouraged. Insects Are Matched. In return I told him that my special line was sellln' the greatest pain alleviator ever discovered by mortal man, and, invitin' my feller man to new ^ and ambtehuns, w^ each took a ASH For Next Ten Day? > , BMHaBMMnMBnBMBHBaonMn e will sell 50 black drop skirt*.

When i we hnd patted each other on the back for a few minits, as is proper on such occasions, the old man wiped off his mouth with the back of his hand and I sweeny said: "Mebbe we might do a bit o' business together for the benefit of the. orphans who are roamin' around with tears in their eyes and callin' for their fathers and mothers in vain." "If we can it is a solemn duty we owe to ourselves," says 1 in reply. "I, too, have an inseck in a bottle,'* he goes on as he produces a great big tumblebug imprisoned in a pint bottle which had once held that which cheers and inebriates. "I ain't braggin' about this insecte. because he bad lost a leg when- I found him and has passed through many trials' and tribulations, but for the sake of the roamin* orphans I might bet yon $10 even up that he can make your grasshopper weary of thds life in about fire minutes." Grasshopper Was ths Winner. The bug was twice the size of my 1 hopper, and it seemed like urgin' my inseck on to certain defeat, but I could not go back on my record. If his bug won it would be $20 toward a new orphan asylum; if my hopper won it would be the same amount to hand < to some istrugglin' widder woman and tell her to continue to struggle on. j Our feller men were to benefit no mat- I *? ?*"* "v ?? ? niif | l r WHICH WttJ luc ov.iaj> tuiu^u v?v? | I and I was not long in makin' up my I mind. I descended from my wagon and j spread a blanket on the grass, and the j respective insecks was poured out of j their bottles before each other's noses, j The fight was on at once. Although j j his bug was the biggest, my hopper j j was the spriest, and for five minits it j I was anybody's fight. Then virtue bej gan to triumph. That Is. my hopper ! j secured a leg hold and flopped the bug ' j over on liis back, and that was the be- ; i ginnin' of the end. A few terrific but i ; vain struggles, and the bug was a j j licked inseck. He was not mortally in- | jured. but he would fight no m.v.v for j weeks to come. \ *T believe I takes the stakes," says I i | as I restores my hopper-to the bottle. J "Not much!" shouts the old man as j | he jumps up. "You punched my bug in ; 1 the eye with your finger when I wasn't j j lookin'." ^ Left His Opponent Penniless. ' I had to gently and persuasively call j j him a liar, and in another rninit we , I was strugglin' for victory. The cause j ; of virtue and integrity was mine, and I j assisted by a r5ght hand swing on the i j jaw which I cot in brought me our on ; f top. When the feller pilgrim had been j I licked I took the wager ar.d deposit*. I j j it in my vest pocket, and. disooverin* j i that he had still another left. I ae- : i cumulated that also. I did it that he ; j might be helpless to deceive any one } j else. He was elankiif his teeth and j : tearin' up grass by the roots when 1 !

Alongside the road a man of i j honest look arid middle age was cut- i i tin' the brush awav, and when I 1 i stopped to make inquiry he answered: j !

It strikes me as bein' a leetle out of the regular line. If you've got to chuck a man full of beer to get him to en> brace religion what's be goin' to do when he sobers up?" "Your words don't show that you hare any enthusiasm in the great cause," he said as he began to look ugly. . "Well, thus far I hare never mixed my beer and my religion together." "And you refuse to assist in sarin* the thousands of souls gallopin' straight to perdition?" "At least I am not in tar or of the beery way." "Thou Satan in disguise!" he exclaimed as he came nearer and shook his fist at me. " 'Tis an act of Providence that you should be sent to me to hare your speerit duly humiliated and humbled before it is too late.

My speerit is naturally meek and humble, as every purchaser of my pain alleviator knows, but there are ' ? ? -, 3 ...nit, times wnen me wicKeuueos uo. ?iu?.u rises up within me and acts on my knees and elbow j'ints. This was one of them. I was still pantin' from my conflict with the old kuss down the road, but I hopped down and shed my coat and made a mental resolve that if I came out victor I would donate twenty boxes of paper collars to the heathen of Africa within thirty days and that the price of my alleviator should not be increased thereby. The man with the new religious theory came prancin' up to me with the smile of victory on his face, and when he hit me a clip on the ear that rolled me over 011 the grass he lifted up his voice in exultation and was proud and stiff necked. But he rejoiced too soon. When I arose I sailed in with an energy born of grim determinashun, and five minutes later he was a licked man and wonderin' how it was done. When his speerit had been reduced to a proper state of humilashun I continued on my way. c See Crooked.
