A very ecentrlc and determined
looking old man strode into the
crossroads general store, and after
some very close bargaining, left, with
a basket of provisions on his arm.
"Old Newt seems ter be gittin' ruth
er free-handed o' late," yawned my
fellow loafer. 'Took him only 26 min
utes ter buy them goods, usually hag
gles longer'n that."
"Economical, is he?"
"If ye want ter call It that. Tight
est ol' screw In Pawpaw township.
Never heered of him, stranger?" I con
fessed that I had not, and my Inform
ant, a long, many-jointed, cadaverous
man, settled himself with an air of sat
isfaction at having an audience, and
in a good-natured, lazy voice which
suggested long familiarity with his
theme, began:
"If Newt Hlllls ever got afoul o' the
idee that black is white, or anything
equally probable, nothln' short of an
alrthquake could change him. Reason
an' argyfyln' was useless. Yer could
not tell him. He knew.
"He cherished consld'ble hard feel
in' fer 'Squire Bentley ever sence the
'squire decided that case agin' 'im.
Newt an' Lem Henshaw both said they
owned the same shoat, an' the t'squlre
decided In favor o' Lem. The 'squire's
son Jack had jist returned from col
lege. Looked kinder sporty an' citi
fied sence he came back, an' Newt
looked askance at 'Im as a dangerous
chip o' tho ol' block. He certainly did
look good ter the gals, though, jist
the same.
"Now Newt bed a darter, a peart,
chipper leetle gal, as sweet an' win
some as ye'd wish ter see. She's the
kind a story book'd call bewitchln',
an' all that sort o' thing.
"Jack Dentley, havin' been ter col
lege, didn't act green like the others,
an' I reckon that was why she liked
him best. He'wasn't scared ter prance
right up ter her, I jinks, spruce as ye
please, an' talk ter her. The other
fellers hated Jack wuss'n pizen, they
was so all-fired jealous of him; he did
not give a fig, ruther enjoyed it. He
I

was most turribly in love with Dolly,
an' he beln' a dapper, handsome young
feller, why Dolly jlBt naterally fell in
love with him, too.
"Well, things went on prosperously
for Jack, an' ler make a long story
short, one evenln' at Bupper Dolly told
her pap she was a-goin' ter marry
Jack.
"Now as I remarked before, that law
suit affair wa'n't jist like baa'm In
Newt's memory fact Is he still cher
ished a leetle tech o' hard feelln' agin'
Jack an' his pap. So when Dolly
spoke o' spllcin' with Jack he went
off like gunpowder.
" 'Whut ? You a goin' ter marry thet
flnlckln' dude? Not if I know myself
you halnt! Jist b'cause he's been ter
college, an' got hlgh-falutin' ldees, an'
parts his hair In the middle like a
gal. Why In tarnation will ye insist
on beln' so all-fired foolish when fine
young fellers like Zebidee Perkins is
around jist waitin' fer a chanst ter
marry ye? Zebidee is no dude, and'
he'll bo left a 300-acre farm o' prime
bottom-land one o' these days.'
" 'nut, papa,' sed Dolly, kinder
plcadin' like, 'I love Jack and you
wouldn't wish me to marry a man I
don't love, would you?'
" 'Whut's that? Love, did you say?
Well, I didn't think a darter o' mine
could be so superstitious as that! You
must a' took that arter yer ma. Love!
Why darter, they halnt no sech thing.
It's jist another name fer a lack o'
good common sense, thet's all.'
" 'Well, I do love him, and I will
marry him,' says she, quietly.
"'O, ye will, will ye? I m much er
bllged fer the information! I reek
on I'll see. howsnmever, if I can't have
somethii.' ter say about who my own
darter'U marry."
"The next Sunday after meetln' he
saw Dully a-talkin' ter Jack, an' he
was furious. Said he'd see If he
couldn't bring this thing ter a halt.
Next day he gathered up his traps and
packed out ter his place seven miles
up kentry, an' took Dolly with him.
He inkerised Zebidee Perkins ter call,
an' Zeb did, but he vat so all-fired
green an' awkward t'.at he didn't
even have that dangerous mite o'
knowledge necessary to show his ig
norance, as some port once got off. He
jest sat there grin Jin' like a punkln
ghost pow'ful adnVrin'.
"Dolly cried c nsiderable the fust
few days. One e enin" Jack came dut.
Newt sicked the dawg on Im an' prom- (
Ised ter spill load o bird shot In im
if he came hangln' 'round Jthere any
more. This made Dolly cry more'n
ever, an' Newt tried ter cheer her by
telltn' her whut a nice feller Zeb was,
but that only made It wusa.
"One mornln" when Newt was out in
bis wood lot a-gittln' ready ter cut
some timber, he saw Jack come a
snoopln' 'round. Newt hid behind
some bushes an' watched ter see what
be was up to. Had a hard time to
keep from jumpln' out an' kickin' him.
In' his eye peeled In the direction o"
the house. He knelt down an' rolled
a stun over an' took a lettle pink en
velope from under It He. kissed it,
put another envelope under the stun,
an' slunk away.
" 'Ahem! Guess I'll take part In this
leetle game o' postofflce mfelf, b'gosh,"
Newt chuckled, 'When in Greece do
as the Greasers do, so the poet sings.'
He moseyed over to the darnlck an'
tore open the letter. It read like this:
Dearest: I'll come for you to-4norrow
night at 12. You'll find me waiting at the
big oak by the road. I'll disguise myself
so none of your pa's friends will .inter
fere. You'll know me by a white rose
on my coat. From your own
JACK.
" 'The miserable scamp! Comin' like
a thief In the night ter steal my dar
ter! Well, I'll try ter give him a cor
dial reception.' Newt went an' got a
pink envelope an' writ a note ter
Jack. It said:
Dear Jack: I'll be ready for you. 1
DOLLY.
"It went kinder agin' Newt's grain
ter put 'Dear Jack,' but he did, an"
thought It a very neat stroke. Patted
hisself on the back ag'in, an' thought
they wouldn't be so many, runaways if
paps was smarter men. He put the
note under the stun' an' saw Jack
come prowlin' 'round fer it in the after
noon. Smiled ter hisself as he read
it, kissed it, 'an tiptoed away. 'Swal
lered my bait, hook an' line! He'll
find that note talks gospel truth, too, j
only it won't be Dolly that'll meet j
him.' An' Newt laughed 'way down I
In his throat.
"The next day passed an' evenln'
came, an' at 11 o'clock Newt an' Zeb
Perkins hid theirselves In the bushes
near the big oak. 'Now, Zebidee, ye'll
know 'im by a white rose on his coat.
I'll run out an' grab the boss, an' you
p'lnt the musklt at 'Im, but let me do
all the tawkin'.' At five minutes 'till
12 they heered muffled hoof beats, an'
a leetle later they saw a man comtn'
on hoss back. He wore whiskers an'
had a slouch hat pulled1 down over his
eyes. Had an ol' relic of a pillien sad
dle on his hoss. 'Thet's him. See the
rose?' in a hoarse whisper from Newt,
'now stan' ready.'
"The hoss came dlreckly betwixt the
two men In the bushes an' Newt
grabbed the bridle. 'Don't say a word,
dern ye, or we'll blow yer head off.'
The man started ter say somethln',
but Zeb p'lnted the musklt at 'im, an'
he shet up. Tbey took 'im off his
hoss, an marched 'im away ter a
stream hard by, where they threw 'im
In, an' watched 'im kick an' sputter.
Then they told 'Im that Dolly had re
ceived his note, an' showed it to her
paw, an' It was at her request that
they acted as recelvln' committee. She
had agreed ter marry Zeb next week.
Their prisoner chuckled when they
said this, but they mistook It fer a
groan.
"When they got tired o' this they
locked 'Im In a corn crib an' went ter
the bouse. They went in the kitchen
an' Newt struck a light. 'I'd like ye
ter try a taste o' Dolly's cooktn', Zeb
Idee.' Zeb 'lowed he'd be pow'ful glad
to. Tbey ate an' drank cider an'
tawked about Dolly as the future Mrs.
Perkins fer an hour er more. Then
Newt showed Zeb a room an' prepared
ter roll In hisself.
- "As he passed Dolly's room he no
ticed a light burnln' Inside. He tapped
on the door an' said: 'Dolly dear, I
wish ye'd git a little extry fer break
fast, 'cause Zebidee'll be here In the
mornln'.' No answer. 'Dolly,' he called,
glttln' a leetle nervous. Still no an
swer. 'O, Doily,' he yelled, an' busted
right inter the room. Dolly wa'nt
there, but there was a note on the
dresser. It said:
Dear Papa: The wedding breakfast will
be at Jack's. Please come and bring
Zebidee with you. lon't disappoint us.
Your dutiful
I DOLLY. "
' "Newt ran to Zeb's room an' ham
! mered on the door. 'Come on, Zeb.
! Dolly's skipped out an' left a note be-
hind, we must go an' tote 'er back.
She don t seem ter know we ve got the
bird caged In the corn crib.' Zeb came
tunnin' puttln" on his clothes, an' they
both made a bee line fer the crib. The
lock was broke an' the crib was j
empty.
"Newt was furious. He Indulged In j
a few well chosen Impromptu remarks
as he ran ter the barn fer a hoss. They
both got on his back, an' were soon
goln' like the wind, an' didn't stop un- i
111 they hove to In front o the
'squire's. They dashed In at the door
just as the 'squire, standln' in his
night-gown an' cap, said: I pronounce
you man an' wife.' Newt stood there
a minute lockin' like he could bite a
kag o' nails in two, but as his eye
wandered 'round the room his face j
gradually melted inter a sneepisn grin.
On a chair hard by lay a pair o" false
whiskers, an' Lem Henshaw stood as
best man. Lem was drippln' wet,
an' had a white rose in his button
hole." "Good. How did the story get out
so completely?" I Inquired.
"Why why, Zeb's an ol' friend o
mine."
"Zebidee, Zeb 1 dee!" a shrill,
wiry voice called. "Come quick, the
shoat s is In the corn." The story -teller
started involuntarily, and looked at
me.
"Confession Is good fer the soul,"
he whispered, shame-facedly. "Comin.
sister!"

The Elder's Inspiration.
At the close of the forenoon session
of a ministerial conference in Phila
delphia, la announcing the opening
abject for the afternoon, the presid
ing officer said: "Elder Jones will pr
sent a aper oa The DevU." Then
he added. "Please be prompt la attend
ance, tor Brother Jones has a carefully
jrnjrd paper, and is full of his sub-
"Get a good story at any cost," the
city editor had told Tom Ordway,
crack reporter on the Morning Star,
when he sent him out to "cover" the
Morris-Norrs wedding. "Get away
from the stereotyped society do;e.
The Morrises are always doing some
thing sensational and the Norrises
have controlling ownership in the tin
trust that we have been fighting. . Go
as far as you like; don't hesitate to
offend any one, but at any cost get a
first page story."
A half hour later Tom was part of
the gay assemblage of the city's rich
est and most exclusive set that bad
gathered at the palatial Morris resi
dence to witness the most elaborately
planned wedding of the season.
During the strains of the wedding
march Tom watched Intently. He had
the names of the bridesmaids before
hand and there was nothing In their
conventional prettiness and studied
gait to attract his attention. But with
the approach of the maid of honor
the famous- society belle, Doris Dab
ney, who seemed to advance like a
goddess in an aura of blues and
mauve Tom shared in the general
wave of admiration.
Tom looked closely, studying the
beautiful features of the young woman
as she passed near him to the bower
of roses set up at one end of the Mor
ris ballroom. He paused, almost
staggering with the Impression that
suddenly came to him.
"It's Jane," he said half aloud, and
as the strains of the wedding march
continued and the Morris pedigree and
the Norrls millions were united in
that famous marriage Tom stood as
one In a daze. How had Jane Lane,
the girl he had loved In his boyhood,
whom he had not seen for five years,
to be sure, but whom, in his heart of
hearts, he loved still how had this
country girl been transported to this
scene of wealth and elegance? She
had been as poor as he in the days
when they went to school together,
and there she was, dazzling In a gown
that must have cost more than he
earned In three months and wearing
jewels worth a king's ransom.
What of Doris Dabney, the society
beauty who bad been expected to act
as maid of honor? Could Jane be
Doris? Was he dreaming?
The Btory. It was as good as writ
ten. Every one had expected Doris
Dabney to act as maid of honor. Doris
resembled Jane amazingly, for no
one apparently realized that Doris
had not appeared. He would talk to
Jane and get the whole story.
When Tom had made his way to
Jane he noticed that she seemed in
tent on avoiding conversation. But
he was insistent, and "Jane" uttered
in a whisper banished her reserve.
Tom rushed from expresstons of Joy
at seeing her to a volley of questions,
and Jane enthusiastically told him
the whole secret. She was serving as
governess in the Morris family. Her
resemblance to Dorris Dabney had
often been remarked.
Then the very day of the wedding
Doris Dabney disappeared. It was a
scandal, of course. She had eloped
with her father's good-looking Danish
chauffeur. If the news leaked out It
would spoil everything. So Jane had
been called to the rescue to play the
part of Doris, to wear her gown and
to appear with the priceless Dabney
pearls and sapphires for the wedding.
Tom's elation was divided between
delight at having found Jane and joy
at having found his "big story." He
was hurrying away when Jane, fol
lowing him, put a hand on his arm.
"How did you happen to be here?"
she ask. "You don't travel In the
Morris set. Tell me, Tom" there was
anxious appeal in her voice "are you
still with the Morning Star?"
Then Tom, now more intent on his
story than on his revived love for
Jane, and Jane, herself afraid of being
discovered, departed hurriedly as
some guests came toward them.
It was nearly midnight, and Tom
was pounding the keys of his type
writer in the stifling atmosphere of
the city room of the Morning Star.
He was Just hammering out the last
paragraph of his "big story," a real
"scoop" for the Morning Star, for none
of the other papers could possibly
have got wind of the scandalous elope
ment of the beautiful Doris.
Tom felt a pressure on his arm and
a sweet voice at his side. It was
Jane, Jane shorn of her Jewels and
with a simple street suit in place of
Doris' finery.
"Is it too late?" she asked breath
lessly. "I came as soon as I could. I
know when I ask you that you won't
make use of the story I gave you. I
told you because you are a friend."
Ten minutes later, Tom's story of
the Morrls-Norris nuptials, shorn of
all' its sensation, having gone to
press, Tom and Jane left the office of
the Morning Star. It was In a de
serted surface car that led to the
Morris home that Jane pressed Tom's
hand to thank him for what he had
done.
"It was hard." admitted Tom, "and I
wouldn't have done It for anyone else
In the world. But I've always loved
you. Jane, and for you I would give
up the biggest story I ever trapped
down. And now Tve found you, little
Jane, I am not going to let you go."
And something in Jane's smile as
sured Tom that he had not made his
sacrifice In vain.
