of ugliness was Ban
^^WSPoHto. J*HtIe was red haired, and each
^iSwMPlWBod as if it cherished the snpremcontempt
for its neighbor. His face
Pit-'- was freckled as the most bespotted turp
' key egg. His nose supported at the
K bridge,a lutnp, while the end turned
bis, tVieiousW to one side. Hi* mouth bad
v every shape but a pretty shape. Ill*
form was as uncouth as his face was
ugly. The very climax of ugliness was
!xjv- Ben Turtle. What was more,still. Hen
; had a handsouae, bouncing, blooming
^ p-^rife?such as can only bo grown upon
?PPl country farm.
44 IIow the denfee," said* I to Ben, one
f?Uj. 44 did you ever got such a wife, you
uncouth, mlsahfcppen,"' quintessence of
monstrosity."
Ben was not lit all offended by the
Impertinence of my question; and
forthwith began to solve the mystery
thus :
4 Well, now, gals what's sensible,
ain't cotohed by none of your purty and
hifalutin airs. I've seed that tried
more'n once. You know Kate was
aliers considered the pnrtiest gal in these
parts, and all the young fellers in the
naberhood used to try to cotch her.?
Well, I used to go over to old Sammy's
too, just to kinder look on, you know,
and cast sheep eyes at Kale. But mercy
sakes 1 I had no more thought that
I could, get Kate than a Jerusalem
cricket could hide in the hair that wasn't
on old Sammy's bald head?no siren.
But still, I couldn't help going, and my
heart would kinder flutter, and ray eyes
would burn all over, when I'd go to talk
with Kate. And one day when Kate
sorter made fuu of me like, it almost
killed me, sure ; I went home with
something like a rock jostling about
in my breast, and declared I'd hang
myself with the first plow line I found."
44 Did you hang yourself?"
44 No; daddy blazed.out to mo for
takin' old Ball to the paster in the
morning, and scared tno so that I forgot
it."
44 Go on," said T, seeing Ben pause
with apparent regret that be had not
executed his vow.
44 Well, soon on Sunday morning?I
reckou it was a year after that langing
scrape?I got up and scraped my face
with daddy's old razor, and put on my
new copperas britches, and n new linsey
coat mammy had dyed with sassafras
bark, and went over to uncle Sammy's.
Now, I'd got to loving Kate hko all c>e
atton, but I never cneapeu to any one
about my feelings. llul I knowed I
was on the righi side of the old folks."
44 Well, now, ain't it quo.-," continued
Pen," bow a fellow will feel sometimes!
When I got there and seed Kate with
her new homespun frock on, I railly
thought I'd lake tho blind &tAggers,
anyhow."
Ben paused again to brush the fog
from bis eyelids, and then continued :
44 Well, I found tho order of tho day
was to go muscadino hunting Joe
Shnp and his two sisters, and Jim
Bowls was thar. I'd knowed a long
time that Shnp was rile after Kate,
and I hated him worse than a hog
hates to find a road out of a 'later patch ;
but I didn't let on. Shnp had on
white britches and fine shoes and broad
cloth overcoat, but everybody knowed
he wasn't worth a red cent. Ilo walked
with Kate, and you ought to have
seen the airs ho put on. It was ' Mia?
Kate this, and Miss Kate that,' and all
such nonsenco. After awhile we cam*,
near a slough we had to cross on s
log, and I'd a notion to pitch the sassy
good for nothing into the water."
44 Why didn't vou 1" I asked.
"Stop, never mind," said Ben,giving
ft nudge. 4' Providence done all thai
up brown. Nothing must do but Jot
Shnp must lead Miss Kate across fust
He jumped on the log in high glee, nnc
r $ took Kate's hand, and- they put off ?
Just as they got half way across, a ta?nation
big bull frog jumped off into tlx
water?you know how they holler?
4 Snakes!' screamed the fool, and knock
ed Kate off to her waist in the nasty

and Cored*, a hollerin't for a pole to lu-lj
Kate out of the water. Kate looked ai
me, and I couldn't stand it any longer
Cercbunk I lit ten feet from the bank
the first jump and had Kate out of thai
in no time. And dy'ethink the scamp
didn't coino up after we'd got out, and
said : * Are you hurt, Mist Kate I' "
44 My dander was op. " I couldn't

his white britches and coal collar, nod
gin him a toss. Maybe he didn't

Kate said:

a cranky bcllu*.
We'd got clean out of right of the

Ben was so overcome with this narration
of courtship, that a pause for
breath was necessary.
" How long after that," said I, " before
you were married."
" Old Sammy was mighty proud, and
o was the old 'oman, about the thing,
and we got married next fall after the
rau?cadine scrape." |
" Ho you think your w ife loves you ?" 5
I asked. .
" Why, lordy, yea. She thinks I'm
the purtiest and best feller in the world.
I tell you, sir, it's no use talking ; hifalutin
airs, and quality dressing, and cologne,
and such things, ain't gwine to
go down with sensible gals, sure."
