Byl Mrs. t
(Concluded.)
Kitchin' hold of his britches in a
dainty way an ' pullin' em' up a lit
tle so as to show his purty red silk
sox, the wider gingerly sot his self
do- n beside me, givin' me a side waze
look of inkwire, which I returned
with interest. On a fine gilt edge.
kyard he writ his name an' address:
"J. T. B.-, Atlanta, Ga., Deal
er in Reel Estate.'' I node he ex
peeted me to do the same way, but I
didn't have no gilt edged kyards, so
I tore a leef outen mi memorandy
book an' writ mi name this way:
"B. Annie Jones, Norwood, N. C." I
allers did think that "Becky Ann"
was the flattest an' hatefulest name
I ever hearn-an' so back-woodsy,
so fur that won time I percluded to
change it a little.
"B. Annie Jones," he red. Then
turnin' to me he sorter laffed an'
sed:
"Had you rather be Annie Jones
than be Annie sumbody else?"
"That's jest accordin," I ansered
sweetly. Sed he:
"May I be so impertinent as to axe
if you air a maid, wife or wider?I"
"Why of corse you may, an thank
you fur yore interest,'' I returned.
Then while I was wtitin' fur him to
axe me, I grappled conscience bi the
throte an flung her outten the win
der an' left her on the tother side of
Little River, which we was jest a
crossin' tellin' her to stay there till
I got revenge on that male man fur
foolin' a sister woman.
"Which are you?" he axed. Then
I lade mi hand on mi hart an' rolled
mi- ize up 'toerds heven (but they
never got no further than the cealin
of that. kyar) an' whispered, in
thrillin' accents:
"A wider, a pore lonesum wider."
Then I placed mi handkersher over
mi face in sich a way that I cud stick
mi finger in mi ize and make the
tears cum, an' let won of mi hands
drap on the seet rite side of hisn.
"Oh, mi deer do forgive me, I'm sor
ry I axed the questioni; but you no
it is dangerous fur a fellers peace of
mind, sumtimes, to be in the presence
of a unusuil charmin woman an' not
no jest where she stands. I no pre
zaetly how to simpathize with you,
fur I have lost a companion, too. Mi
hart jest ak-es to find another con
genial mate, an' longs to pore out its
welth of affection at the feet of won
who would reciprokate the feelings,''
he faltered.
"Me, too," I murmured. "When
I think how happy me an' mi deer
husbin used to, an' then realize that
it is all over, mi hart mitey ni bustes
wide open. How handsum he was as
he sot on the piazer an' red the pa
F per while I churned! And how purty
his orburn hare was as the summer
breeze kissed it as he swung in the
hammnuek, while I drawed warter an'
warterd the cows an' hogs. Oh, I
miss him so much an' you make me
think of him more 'n any body I ever
seen," I simpered, slidin mi hand
along till it touched hisn. He grab
bed it an' squeezed it sayin':
"Deer little woman, erth has no
sorrer that heven cannot heel. It will
all be rite in the sweet bi an' bi."
"That's all so," I ansered. "But
that aint much conserlation to a lone
wider that is in good helth an' needin
sum won in the present world to man
age her bizness. What use is a hole
Slot of property to a criter that don't
no how to manage it?" I axed.
"Ah, you are welthy, then?i and all
alone? About how munch do you
own?"
I thought of the razer back hog,
the crippel won ide mule that Jeems
had tnide so hard to trade, an' the
holler horn cow, an' ansered:
"Well, I don't no prezactly, an'
SI don't want to be gilty of braggin'
or over estimatin', but I guess its
a,bout, er-well, it may be less than
fifty thousand dollers."
"You deer little woman! No won
der you feel the need of a help mate.
If I wernt afrade you wood think me
too fast, I wood axe you to take pity
'on me an' mi lonesumnress an' let us
travel the rest of lifes jurney hand in
hand," squeezin mi hand with em
phasism.
I squeezed back an' stammered:
"Thank you for the compliment.
Do you raly mean it ' cawse if you
do I'd be obleeged to say yes, you
Sair so much like ni deer departed."
"Bless your little hart! But I nev
er could set on the piazer an let this
little sand do the work. Darlin; oh,
I wish we was outen this blasted kyar
an' whrere I cud"
"T.aw, cslae. What air you say
in'? I reekin you mean this blessed
kyar. fur if it hadn't a been fur it I
no tellin' whether we ever wood a
met," I interrupted.
"Yes, deerest, bless this kyar fur
ever! Now be sweet to me an' tell
me when I may claim mi little bride?"
he pleaded.
"I'll have to study a little," sez
I, get tin a little narvis.
"What 's the use in waitin, baby?
You need me an' I need you. We can;
have the not tide soon as we get to
Columby, I cud go rite on home with
you an' settle yore bizness fur you
an' then take you rite on to your bew
tiful futer home in Atlanta." I never!
seen a man that cud beet him a court
in '--not even Jeems when he was in
practice. I begun to get skeered up
about rite, an' begun to make ex
cuses.
"Why, deer, we ort to no more
about each other first. We air same
as perfetit strangers," I ventered.
"Now little woman, if you doubt
mi honor an' veracity, I can take you
to at leest fifty men in Columby, that
will vouch fur me,'" he replide, as I
looked outen the winder an' seen with
stupefaction that we was in the city.
I tride to change the subject bi ex
claimin';
"Oh, I declare! we air plum to our
stoppin' place-we air in Columby,
an' it is mi first glimpse of the city."
"Then I elame the plesure of tak
in, you to ride an' showin you the
sites,' he sed, egerly, his hole coun
tenance litin' up with joyful antici
patin.
"Oh, thank you, sir, but I don't
stop here but two ours or sich a mat
ter, an' I'd be skeered to go ridin'
fur fear I'd get left.' I sed.*
"Well, what diffrunce wood that
make! You belong to me," he anser
edl.
"Well, I'll think about it," I
sed, tryin to put on a brave frunt, an'
we got outten the kyars an' went in
t the purtiest waitin' room .I ever
seen. An' oh, joy, I seen that there
was a private waitin room fur the
ladies, an' it was all curtined off. I
drawed a long breath of relief fur I
Inode I cud go in there an' mi wider

I strate way went, dodgin' him e's he
was gen ~ing' a dring of warter. Threw

like an' I n'Ada it woodn't be long till
he Epi on~l -- where abouts. I sot
down in the re~motest corner I cud
find, an.' tride to reed "By the Eter

outen themr curtins an' see that pesky
thing pacin' aip an' &:wn, with grate
beads of p" siration. 'j olin' down

Thre was severil :a .ies in there

spide me settin' there off to won side.
an' she eum to me ai' axed:
"Aint you the won? If so, pese
main take these, so I'll get a doller
fur bringin' 'em,'' holdin' out the
flowers an' lookin pleadingly into mi
face. I seen that she needed that dol
1r, an' I suddenly got curridge to
take the bokay, an' I found a little
note nestlin' in it.
"Stop a minit till I reed this, lit
tle gal,'' sez I, pullin' it out with
about the same feelins I'd a had if
it had been a snake, an 'here it is:
"Deerest, why are you treatin' me
so ruel? You are' nearly killing me.
Please cum out an' let me have a few
words with you before your trane
eve. Can it be possible that you
have won mi hart simply for the
pleasure of trampling it beneath yore
feet ? I can't beleve it, I wont ! Pity
me, deerest, an' 'explane yore conduct,
if you have any pity in yore hart, or
care in the leest, for.
Yores Only,
J. T.B. '
On the back of the note I writ:
"Will be out in a few minits, just
as sure as I love you.'' I told the
little gal to give it to him an get her
duller, an' she went out happy. Then
I settled down to mi book agin. I
peeped threw the curtins, tho and
ctch a glimpse of that man as he red
mi message, an, law sakes! his face
was so lit up with hope agin, that it
moitey ni give me palperation of the
hart to look at him. Sez I to miself:

"Cawse I didn't love you, sir," I
nsered, lookin' him strate in th4
ace. I felt like tawkin' to him then,
n' I continuered:
"Old filler, as you sow so shall

iis ize a bulgin' he turned me loose
in' hissed:
"I'll see that yore man noze of

"Do," I ansered sweetly. "It wood
