I can call home wan tale, though aa HI tell e, if you mind to hear It. TU 'bout the courtin' of a chap by tie name o' Vogwell. Bill woa a writer of aigna an aich- like, an a chap of hia hamle moat ways wi a general aenaa in gwaine through tli world which doan come to many aa yoiuig as it corned to him. Ite waa ol aya aurpriaiu' clever orelee tnaztn ful ith. Theer wern't no half meaaurea bouv un. He lived wi' hia father in the lust house o' Merile, an' becauae aign wrlUn' wasn't enough to keep him, he built ten bee-butts, an' atrawed era ao clever aa a reg'lar datcher an' aawled pure heather honey at a ahillm' a pound an' did braava 'pon it. Hia father a cern't o' no account, though a gude man. Fuzz-cuttin' waa hia job fuzz- cuttin' an' fern-cuttin' in autumn time. Then corned the matter o' pnintin' that aign, an' Master Applebird, who could fling a money about li"ke a duke w hen he'd a mind to, which was 'bout wance in a month o' Sundays, gived Hilly the offer to paint a gert picter on wood, n frame it an bang it owyr the Inn fnace. I mind just what Applebird said (or I was theer and' heard: 'I'll give 'e ten ahillin' for the job, if 'tin done ao as all folks can aee what's meant by un.' Applebird done it really cause he kiwwed John Comer, of the 'lted Heifer' nn, Princeton, had just got a fine ligu d rawed by a Plymouth chap; an' Applebird would have sooner gived up business altogether than let Comer best him anywheer. "So Bill Vogwell got his brushes an' pilnts ah' 'lies together an' made a square o' boards, an' done out the hunts man, wl'a carpenter's pencil, copy In' the snme from a butivul almanac what a grocer to Traviatock had gived awny to's customers the winter previous. M mister Applebird ordained as the picter should be done in a tallet outside the inn; an theer Bill worked day by day till the thing waa done. An Polly Applebird watched un' drawin'nn'paintin'; which ta wheer this tale starts proper. She was a maiden of sebenteen year old, so brown as the moor In autumn, wl' eyes wheer you cude 'ardly see the pupils sep arate from the blackness of the paart which Is brown or blue or gray in dlffer- en t folks. Her hair woe jack-daw color, If you knaws that. Ted'n zoctly black, nor yet blue, but betwlz' an' between. heard theer waa eourtln' gwain be tween the two, an na Yole hisself had seen 'em morv'n wane together in the owl-light, then Applfbird let go awful. au' Polly got a dressin' down that night aa made her creem to think on for years arter. Then, when be knawed the cat was out the bag. Bill went straight long an spoke wl the auld man, an' theer waa ferocioua worda. Applebird bad rijrUt on hia aide when he said 'no, 'cause his gat was under age; but for all that. Bill stuck to It, an' swore ha weern't gwaiu to take "no' tor an an-awer. If tou marriea her, you'll go to prison for't, though 1 pay every lawyer in Exeter to send ,' said the landlord the 'Huntsman's Best,' dancin' wi' wrath. ' Tit npainst the law, an you 11 suffer for it; sn' whiles you'm in clink, the gal shall (tarve for me; ao now you knawa wheer you stand. An' never you darken my door agin, or I'll wring your damn neck myself.' 'Yo'i poor bee-kcepln' twoad of bwoy,' he says, scornful, 'you gert silly gaby, to dure an' think my darter guoe enough for the likes of you.' 1 never did think so, an' I doan t now, Maaster Applebird, but facts be facts; she'm gwaine to marry me, an' I'll bear the punishment like a man, an' so all's said.' "In coourse all weern t said, by a darned long way, but the rest o' the dia cooursn fU 'pom the ears of them In the bar, for Bill he went off so haughty aa a turkey cock wl' his nose tip-tilted an' his lips curlin like a peel a. Meantime, arter the trouble wl' her faither an' before the final coorlous happening, there was a fire in a croft of auld Applebird's, an' a linhay, as didn't matter, waa burned down, and a huge gert wheat-stack, aa did matter a lot. was saved br Bill Vogwell and two other chaps chiefly through Bill s long-headedness. For Bill, though hot-headed rule of a lad In some ways, yet had a braava sight n' common sense, with as gude a nerve in un as you might see "teen Exiter an' Plymouth. Auld Applebird thanked Bill for what he'd done, wl' a face same at though be was chewin' of a lemon all the time. Then days passed an' 'twas known that Polly Applebird weer gwaine np to her aunt as lived to Exeter. An' so she wecr; but theer waa more In the trip than met the eye, 'cause Bill he'd ordained to meet her theer quiet and marry her 'fore the regis! rar.

Her lips was red as a ripe quar render apple an' alius just a thot open. You'd a rvored she was a French fur- riner or si me aich thing; but 'tweer t so at all. "She an' Bill got so thick as thieves afore the picter was out o' hand, an' be dawdled that cUnnln' nn' craafty awver the palntin' that 'twas best part of a month 'fore lie allowed the thing was done.- An', poor fules, just 'cause auld Applebird wetr mazin' pleased wi' the sign-board, they must think as he'd be mazin' pleased with the painter, tu; an tbey kept comp'ny unbeknawnst to un for a matter o' three months or more. Then 'twas that bent, crooked liilib o' Satan, by name Benjamin Yole, what apled theer little game, an' bro't the climax to the courtin'. Yole hadn't no business of hia awn, being pensioned from the clay-works awin' to breakin' his legs In an accident. But be crept about Merlvale wi' bis wicked ears flappin' for every coorious thing as might happen. He knawed tome barm 'bout every man, wummon, cbeel an' cat in the village, an' hadn't no kind word to say for anybody on God't airth but hisself. This here Y'ole soon spied how Polly Applebird an' Bill Vogwell would go out o Merivale differn t ways, at innercent aa bees, an' yet somehow get drawed together arter. Full of this noos he clattered, all crutches an' spite, Into the 'Huntsman's Best,' an' axed to see londlord theer an' then. Mind you, Applebird bad thot kind enough of (be young chap, for Bill was. well set up an' grey la tha , ruJ looked folk i!i's'k'iit ! iit tmv bul v)m ki Bill's own noddle a purty darned silly notion, tu, far Bill, you see, was half a janious and half a idiot, an' them two halves got mixed now an again. "Off went Polly, Innercent seem' in'ly as a gusechick; and Bill had I job that tuke him out o' Merivale same day. "All went merry as need lie. They met as planned the next day, an' off they traapsed, an theer weern t no sort o difficulty about the job, for marryin'a easy as ym' if you get two of a mind. Then corned the darn rum thing what Bill done. He and the gal, aa was bfv lawful wife, walked straight away to the prison, an' aa they went her grawed tearful an' cuddled of hia arm closer'n closer, an' shivered all over when she teed the gart walls o' chink a-towerin' afore 'em . . " They won't hurt 'tV the said, tob bin' quiet. " "!'Sot them,' he said. . 'The tiroe'll pass like a dream along o' think In' you'm my awn wife by law, what none short o' God A'mighty couldn't take from me.' ? : "Wi' that be ringed the goal bell, an' a braave noise it made; an' a chap opes a little bit ol a gate in the middle of a big wan, an' axes Bill his business. " 'I wrjits to see the head p'liceman,' sez Bill. " - i . ' 'Well, you caan't, for be'm away to day; but p'raps, when all's said, I might sarve 'ef sez the man. "And Vogwell, seein' the chap wat a officer ( I sow sort, reckoned he would do, an' Mt out bl bus!nuMhot and nL&tn. . - come from marry in this maiden against the with of her lawful father, her bein under age. The law be ea her faithers tiite like, so to save, trouble an' gete tha joh out o" hand, I've corned right along, an' it you'm ready for me, I'm ready for you. Tis a six weeks' job, an' the day bein' Monday, an' the hour noon, may bo you cude wake not of it in waa o' your prieon book.' "If Bill had axed the man to hai.g nn he couldn't a looked more aurprised. a '1 thot to com, here quirt, an' do the time, an' then gi home along, an' no body any the worse,' he sex. " Taa n't be,' set the man. 'I wish I could take 'e in, for I'm sure you'd do us all a power o' good, bat you must get the usual introductions. I daresay the maid's faither'U manage all that for 'e right an' reg'lar when you go home an" tell un what you've done.' " 'Eat, be will, sure 'nough,' answers Bill, awnly I'd hoped to save un the trouble. Us was gwaine to keep the weddin' secret tilt I'd took the punish ment of the law on it. Then when th' auld own up an' said as he'd send me to chink, I should up aad said back aa I'd bin.' "That was the end of Bill's notion He tramped it home to Merivale, an next day marched off to see the Innkeep er an' tell un how mutters stood. Apple- bird was in a sweet mood, luckily enough, for wl'in the hour he'd saw Id the rick what Bill had saved for fi'-punnote more'n he'd reckoned to gete for't. But it made it harder for Bill in mannero'sprakin', because before he'd got time to bring out hia bit of noos. Applebird ses: 'Ah, Bill Vogwell, you ve come at the right moment, my son Here's five shlllin' for 'e along o' savin the wheat-stack awhile since.' "Bill, he spawk theer an' then, wi'out tnkin the money: What you sez be rlghter than you knaws, master. 1 be your son. Me an' Polly was of a mind, an' us married each other in Exeter essterday marnin'. Us bant In no hurry, aa you'm so set again it ; but u tho't aa theer weern't no harm in makin' the future aartin, to us waa married.' "Auld Applebird setback behind the bar, an' he was tu surprised to be angry for awhile. Thn, rte he frraarted hnlil o' what Bill had said, he sent a stable boy for a policeman an' tongued BiH proper. " 'Ess, fny, I knawed you'd da that,' sei Bill, while be waited an' Applebird drawed breath. 'I knawed you'd have the law o' me, an' when I waa in Exeter arter we was married, Polly an' me went down to the gaol, an' I was for gwaine In theer an' then to save 'e trouble, but they wouldn't take me. You'd got to summons me f urst.and then I'm brought up In due coourse afore a justice, an' he sentences me to six weeks for mar ryin' a gal under age. I tho't to have saved 'e all that confusion, but it can't lie, they towld me. So you'll have to go through wl tt, an' I get six weeks." " 'Six weeks, you damn young rip,' bust out Applebird, sweatin' wi' range. 'I'll have 'e theer for six years hard la bor, If lawyers can work it.' " They can't,' sez Bill. 'Six weeks I'll get then I'll come back to Merivale.' "It happened that the p'liceman couldn't be found just then, an' Bill, snyin' aa he would be at his faither t house, went off. He waited till evening, but no p'liceman corned. Next day he went to see Monster Applebird again ; an' the auld man tawld un to get out the bar, but he said nothin' 'bout the p'llce- mun. An four followin mnrnins he went to knaw when the p'liceman was comin'. Then Polly corned home an' faced the moosic; but you see, Polly waa wound too tight around her father's heart for un to cast her off or anythm outrageous like that. Then in the spring Bill's father died, an' 'twas found he'd saved a matter of eighty-three pounds in silver, which had took fifty year o fuzz-cuttin to do. But theer it was, an' when auld Applebird heard as Bill meant buyin fraish paper for the cottage walls an' improvin' the plnace general he was interested; an' when he heard Bill was 'specially axed to pnint a gert elephant on a sign at Travistock for two pounds ten he was mazed with won der. Eighteen months dawdled by, an then corned the tail to the story, as I said. Wan day Applebird sees his dar ter helpin' the servant gal downstaira with two boxes, an' he also sees a bwoy wl' a barrow 'fore the inn door, waitin'. " 'Wheer be gwaine 7 he sez to Polly. " 'Down long to my husband, Bill Vogwell a house, sez Polly. "'Never not while I can stop e,' he answers back, but rather tnme like, for theer was many things in his mind by that time. " 'God bless , faither, she sez, 'God blest e, but you caan't stop me. Do 'e knaw the day? rtie sez. "'No.' he sez. " 'My birthday,' she sez. 'I be corned of age, an' I loves 'e so dear as ever, an' Bill no less than I did when us was married. Tis my bounden dooty, deai faither, she sez. . "The auld man answered neveraword, but he stood at the door with bis gert double china all rumpled up aa be put bis head down like a bull snortin' an' puffin. So be watched her go, an' then went in the door. Nobody seed un all that artornoon, but when evenin' came as' the lights twinkled out o Merivale, like a row o' glow-worms climbin' tha black bilt.-Applebird he put on the vel veteen coat he used for rabbit tbootin'. an' brushed his' white hair till it shone, an' counted out a tidy little pile of sov ereigns irova a bag, an' took his stick, sn' tawld'the stable-boy, a also served in lb bar, be'd be back In an, hour of less. Then'b sneaked down the hHl aa thou eh be waa gwaine imachin ; but he stopped at the last cot, an' looked at a light in the kitchen winder' an need two heads close together eatin' supper at ft little boo table. Then he tramped un the pathway soft, but Polly beard an' knawed the step; an.' 'fore be reached the door 'twat open. SCXE1SE TO SUNSET." Kafus Bandera Draws EtDrniy Fast.

Hit comes back to me today at clear aa the riDgi ot a thousand eveua bells the time u boya went np to town along In the fall of the year and I giv the old faintly graveyard a tre mendiua el est shav. , Nothin ; but th baod of Providence and pur nigger luck pulled me through the toils and tnares and trials and trouble of that au tumnal day, which then I got out by the hair of my head and the skin or my teeth, as It were. Fnm Burl to IumI.' By the old stage rosd it was sixteen miles from the settlement where we got our washin done to the town of Green ville, where we sold cotton and chick ens aud eggs and other farm produee lneuts, and bought a few dry goods and groceries snd other valuables of life. When I took baek now and think about it right serious seems to me like Green ville waa but little more than a wide place in the road. But it was town, you understand; to my young eyes It waa the biggest and the busiest and the finest place In the round created warld. Up to that time It had always looked to me like the sun roso somewhere over there In the fat woods on the other side of Tanther creek, and then went down with a toyal bobtail flush and set behind them old red bills around Greenville. In that day and generation the men folks didn't go to town as regular and frequent as they do now, and It was only about oncst a venr that they would INI up wits tne TniiK or numan ainunow and let the toys go with them. And, mind you, with ut boya l trip to town was the biggest thing in the deck the happiest and most brightest spot In the records of a year. White people, ac cord In to the way I see things now and the way I saw things then, a railroad excursion all the way from New York to New Orleans nowadays alnt nothla to a ride on our ox wagon from Tanther Creek to the town of Greenville aad fpfl ej beh'od Um Uncle Luke's luf wh:p and t" -J my level b':an)der to tput b;ta ,.; pen with it But Instid of tlat b't gracious, I wrappeJ sbewhip arouu J t" UfJ fifteen or twenty times and it pot tied there in a hard knot. And there I was, in the fp'srsrst town on earth, with one en J of I i:- e Luke's whip in my baiu'.s, aad the i 1 -r emt tied hard end fast to a he f'Vt t Naturally, of cocrse, I didn't bav time to think and talk over the peneral sit uation; but my naiad waa &' up on the spot I would hold to the wtt:p lad fuiiuw that imVrr.al be cvw all over town and clean on back there in the red hills to where tha sun went. before I would turn loose and giTe up the fight and tak my ehancva with tbe wrath to conic. Well, Bully if that want hi nam I ean't aee why took up a notion about tb.t Um U fc , and he didn't have no time to Sre. He give a little snort and one loud bel low.and reached hia backhand we and him tore out from there, and now, let me tell tou. ladies and eentlfmen, if there ever wat a poor country boy In ait thia green and wicked old world that suffered the agonies of death in three shake of a sheep's tail, it w as met I didn't have no time to think about what would come of me, sjid I didn't give a continental durn what went with the be cow. Tbe maluest thing to my mind waa Uncle Luke's flue whip, which I knowed he tHwight jest a l-e-e-tlo more of that whip than be did of his wife and children. I was skeered to pull on It much for fear it niought slip off at the other end of the staff, and w would never lay mortal eyes on it no more henceforward and forever. So I thought to myself I would better try to climb the ataff, as it were, tilt I could get my hands on the leather part nod then hang to It like grim death till tomethln froze over. Bal Tty "Tor 0t fro" Thr." But as I raid before me and Uully we tore out from there, and I had to let him work in the lead, w hilst I was bumin the wind aa a high private lu the rear ranks. Man, sir, we went aerost the square, hittin tbe high ptac-e only, and started up the main street. But two or three men saw us comin and run out and headed us off. Then we turned and made another dark streak acrost the square, and started off towards the hills where the sun went down. "Go it, dadburn you, to sunset and a hotter place than that if you want to," savs I to Bully, "but if somethln don't break or slip your Marse liufus will be with you when the even stars A c- - t . he n f r- tr I. r c fr a of f e la which I h '' 1 ' ' I Sn In th. lurm and tnvetv autiiimn. in I ainflT together.' ft, M.n Tndian field were turntn About thnt time another crowu ot brown and red and pale in patche men saw uie cioua risin anu run . h m.n fnlfc. t.her voked uo the and beadea ua ana uirnra oxen and loaded the wagona and took the boy with them and went to town. If it waa given unto me to live right on for a hundred yenra to eome I never could forget how tremendlu big and brood and bright and beautiful the world looked to me on that frosty uiornlu In October as the wagona rolled us bacK acrost the square. We then started out to take the Jackson Trail road, which I didn't know where in creation It would lead us. But I was right In be hind Bully sometime runnin like a quarter horse and sometimes slidin like a baseball man comin home to base tryln my level blamdest to gain on him out over the old stage rood men and econgk to slip my hands up to the oxen and boys all headed for town leather part and save Uncle Luke's from Panther Creek to Ureenvuie whip. Ami we man i lane me jbckhou from sunrise to sunset. Trail road neither. Another crown headed us off and oncst more we tore Unci Lnk ad Bl Whl. Up the earth acrost the square. Then If In case you have lived at long aa I we took a notion to try another route. have you have took notice by this time end Bully he snorted and pitched out that back there la them plain oiu asys ,i0wn the eld - Stage roaa towards people had more oxen and. thought panther Creek. more of their cow teams than they do "Now, dad blame your leb-slded, now. On that trip I recollect that I razor-back pictures, I hope they will some ol tne men anv iwo oxcu uu open toe way anu turn ua out anu u-i aomo driv four, whilst Uncle Luke u( go," says I to Bully na I spit in one Willis he driv six without the sign of a rope on n&rry one. He had blm a long keen whip, which be could take It and set the very air on fire from the tail of the off ox at the wheels to the Born oi the lead ox way out there In front And to hear Uncle Luke talkin to hi cows, sometimea kind and gentle and some times with a loud voice in the plainest and strongest United States language, and then see him handle hU long whip till it would coil up and hiss and pop like a bunch of firecrackers that was fun and show enough for me. Soon as ever we got to town and aold out the cotton and other producementa which we had took to market, the men folks driv around on the square and baited the wagons. Then they went off and left na boya there to mind the teams and keep loose stock away. Y'ou understand they didn't have no stock law In town then, and if you didn't look out the cows and hogs and things would eat up every blessed thing in the wagons. ' So the men folkt they lett ut ooya with the wagont and teams, whilst they went off to "see about it, aa I heard Uncle Luke soy. A for me, I don't know for certain where they went, but from what little I could see and pick up around the edges I knowed blame well they didn't go off and drink any plain branch water to speak ol. hand andcaught fresh holton the whip; "and ff ain't dead when we git to Fnnther Creek i will kill a beef, con sound you, and save - Uncle Luke' whip." But It never had been wrote down In the book that way. Me and Bully amongst na had now raised such a monstrous duet and conf uaionment till the crowd closed In around the out line of the square and wouldn't even let ua take the old stage road and go on home to Panther Creek. They head ed us off and turned ua back at every street and corner, and whooped and hollered till I thought in my soul that Bully would break my neck and tear himself In two. If he tried oncst he tried 50 timea to but our way through the crowd and leave town, but the crowd wouldn't let ua go. It waa a free circus to tbera town people, you understand, with me and Bully In the ring, and all that we could do waa to follow the circle and burn the wind round and round and round the square. Finally at last Bully give a quick, tuddent lunge, the whip clipped off of tbe ataff and we two parted. I slided half way acrost the square on my face and th brow band of my breeches, and when I looked back I saw Bully leavin a black streak in the other direction, with Uncle Luke's whip windin and 01 T 1 - I ' .U'f t r ' ' f 1 .V!.., - travrfs i 1 ' I i. ! sportsmen, aud C t whiih a f. -" f :' 1 ' mountain rang 1" !
