byo I saw S.nah Jano' go into tho
parlor an' n rcchin' frtr my hat I
got up an' follorcd." J
Here Mr. Pickens paused and
emptied a cup of fctcafning hot cof
fee. Ho had a habit of cutting off
a chunk of pork and balancing it
on his folk over his shoulder whilo
ho talked; when ho came to a stop
ping placo in his remarks he would
pop tho moiael into hif mouth and
then. continue tho bubject'. , The
children had all becivfexcluded
from the table and had, formed In a
discontented a6soinbly at the fining
room duor just behind their father's
ehrtlr. Every time ho elevated a
piece ol pork over his' houldor, it
hung just beyond their ii'e.ich and
afl'uided a great temptation. With
fingcis in mouth and eyes, fixed
longingly on the Ufclo they stood
for somo timo until finally one
moro daring than tho others dated
up hohind his father and boldly ex
tracted tho chunk of pork from the
fork and retiring to a Bhort distance
ho devoured it with every oVidence
of relish and enjoyment. Tho
others watched him enviousiy and
presently another mustered up
eouiago enough to tnatcd a mouth
tnl off of tho tempting fork'. Each
time Mr, Pickens, after finishing
the discourso ho ,uas 'engaged in,
thrust tho empty fork,, into his
mouth and seemed much surprised
because there wero no, visible re
sults. Ho pondered awhile evident
ly thinking ho was laboring under
a mistake, but after tasting several
times and looking around' on tho
floor ho camo to the conclusion that
ho had eaten the pork without
knowing it, and cutting off another
piece ho would repeat the perform
ance. Liko all unfair undertakings
however, tho children presently
came to grief They had toul-

Pickens turned around and com
prehending how outrageously ho
had been imposed upon he aroto
from the tablo in a rage and seizing
a switch from behind tho door ho
scattered them at oiio fell 'snoop.
Ho returned to tho tabid in any
thing but'a good humor.
''Them children are enough to
drive a man to destruction. I'vo a
good mind somo times to take a
shotgun an' shoot tho whole shoot
in' match uv 'era," ho said in a
deeply aggrieved tona of voico.
"Hero I wuz a tryin' to git some
thin' to eat an' them children a
takin' it light out nv iny mouth.
Beats all creition," nud cutting off
'another largo slico of tho pork he
helped. himself to a plateful of boil
ed cabbiga and settled down to
make up for lost timo. Afttr a
while ho took up tho thread of his
remarks again and said:
"Well, I sot thero in that parlor

As Sparks apd his friend crossed
to tho court houso thoy were nn t
by a tall, broad-shouldered man,
w ho no soouei saw Sparks than ho
cried:
"Nato Sparka a I live, nhy

"From Qod'a count i.," prompt
