Uwls.] When I got nlqng to Ilirntn (Ireon's with his weekly paper the other ?lny I found hlni pacing up and down it front of his Rate in an excited state 01 mind, niul I hadn't time to ask him tin cause of his trouble before he said: "Say, Abe, I've been thrown dowi with the darnedest kind of a kerwol lop." "Been wrassllng with your oh *fl?uiieu uuii; r iiskcu. ' '' : "thk wav thp.y hid sl'oov was som1 thing awful." "No. You remember that my \y?i died two years ?bo, don't you?" "I believe I do." "Well, I've been n wlddcrer ever sine uiiu am joi, inougn u s not my ranl Mebbe you've heard that 1 was sort < spooking around the Whlder Carte She Is n whlder, and I'm n whldere and If seemed perfectly uateral tli: \ye should hitch up together. I've bee propping In on her every few night for the last six mouths, and she a 111 seemed glad to see me. When I talke love, she'd smile, and when 1 talked ( marriage she'd blush like a hen. Wh; Abe, I was so sure tliat site reeiproea ed my affections, as they call 'em, tin I'd have bet 40 bushels of turnips ag'l a peck of corn that 1 could carry hi ofT any day." "And what's happened?" I asked. "Well, I went over there last nigl to pop the question, and after slttlt] around awhile 1 popped. 1 thought was a dead sure thing, of course. In the wldder riz up und give ine'the col throw down." "She refused you. you mean?" "She did- uud she snoku in nlain En >v'* THE.. >0 Days ~ER OUR j STOCK fencing th, 1901. \1\ & CO. til, rianager. ' llsu too. Yes, sir, she refused my heart nud hand as plump as mud. and when > 1 got outdoors I was so giddy in the head that I walked half a tulle in the wrong direction. Why. Abe, the shivers are still creeping up and down my back, and 1 can't hardly draw a long 1 breath." "But she must have explained why she refused you." "Yes; 1 believe site did. She said our i na?o i 111 iisiruiony or some such thing ami that while I would be j wanting boiled dinners she'd bo sighP lug for quail ou toast. I didn't sleep n wink all last night, anil 1 haven't eaten any breakfast, and I'm taking it hard. Abe. mighty hard. I'm kind of think1 ' ing of eoinmitting suleide." "Nonsense!" 1 said. "If one widder won't have you. then try another." 1 "I can't. Abe." he replied, with tears In his eyes. "When a man of my age has got the cold kertlop. he hasn't any spunk left. 1 shan't be no good to myself nor anybody else for the rest of my life. Abe, you are the government, ain't you7" "Well. 1 represent the postmaster general, the administration, the United States and the constitution, and if I should meet a load of hay on the ro.nl it would l ave to turn out for me." "That's what 1 thought, and If you've got to stop .at the widder"a this morning 1 want you to do tne a favor. I want you to tell her that it's the opinion of the government that she's made the biggest mistake of her life and that if she marries anybody else she'll have hoils and toothache and rheumatism all the rest of her days. Make it mighty strong. A he. Make her feel what she's missed by turning me down, and give her to understand that there's 40 other wlddcrs iu this county who'd jump tit the chance of marrying me." 1 promised him and drove olT, but as l'r I looked hack and saw hit.i sitting ou , the fence with his head in Ida bauds I c knew that his heart was broken. I'd lieard that I'nele Kit Warner was full of trouble over his daughter Mary, and 0 as I drove up to the house I wasn't t. surprised to see Mrs. Warner waiting if for tut*. She had a club in one hand r. and a package of letters iu the other r, and was trying to look ferocious. It it was a poor attempt, however, and lief n voice trembled as she said: ts "Abe. tuchhe you've heard qho^ ouj: is Mai'I'1)!' il "Just n little." says 1. "I hope she's >f well nnd as good looking ns usual." y, "No, Abe; she nlu't a hit well, and 1 t- shouldn't be a bit surprised If her splrit it sailed away any hour. As for looks, n she has aged ten years In two weeks, r It's an awful blow on n girl like her, you know." "It's a breach of promise suit, ain't it It?" ig "That's It. Abe. You remember when It tlioso fellers was here last fall with it their wire fencing? I was ng'ltt It Id from the start. 1 told ICI1 that It wasn't natural nnd that nothing good "ooltl conic of it, and 1 was a true prophet One of tlio fellers fi*l! in love wltli Mary. Maybe you heard about it?" "Seems as if I did." "You Must have. everybody was talking. Yes. I e fell in love with Mary, ninl she fell in love wllli him. and Use way they did spoon around was something awful. It didn't do no good to talk to her. Mary Is like a mule when the gets her mind made up. After the feller had hunt* around here for two weeks lie had to move mi. and then they wrote letters to eaeli other. Here are the letters lie wrote, hut after a few weeks lie cooled of!' on her ami fell In love with another. Wc are now going to have him sued for breach of promise." "Does Mary want to take the ease Into court?" 1 asked. "No, sin* don't, nor III! ojtiter, hut I'm going to make 'em l'v?. ?.,? >>? a.... dor up and will light to the end. Eli says we haven't trot a ease, and I want to ask yon about it. Abo, when a fel- * lor writes to a girl that he'd give the . whole world for a sight of the tip of < her nose he's In love, ain't he?" ? "I should say he was." i "And when he writes that he can't ' oat nor slot p nor put tip wire fencing for thinking of her he's got it party bad, hasn't he?" "For sure." j "And when he goes on to say that i they'll live in a woodbine cottage and < squeeze hands and listen to the songs 1 of the nightingales it moans that he expects to marry her. 1 take it?" ' "It looks that"way." "And when ho sits down and neorers out tlint tlu\v cnn live on J?3 a week, * when lie says Hint the world is :i hoi- j low mockery without her, when lie < writes that she's nn angel from heaven i and has made him the happiest man <* on earth, lie's committed himself, ( hasn't lie?" 1 "lie certainly has, anil I'm telling ' you so in my official rapacity." "That's what 1 says to I'.ii and Mary, ( and I'm going to town to see a lawyer and sue that wire fencer for MO.tmo 1 damages. Abe, I'm n Spartan mother." ( "What's 1 hat V" J "I (luiino, hut I'm one of 'em. and * I'll never rest till I make that feller hopscotch. Yes, sir; I'll stand him on his head and walk all over him and crush liiin into the earili, and then M.a- j r.v shall marry a millionaire and ride , over his dust In her carriage, (jooilhy, Alu?. Just tell everybody that you've { seen me and had a talk and that afore I get through with this thing every , rod of wire fencing in thi-vx-ouuty will be buzzing like u gale of \> .'id and hot j enough to burn a hole through a sheepskin."
