And as he spoke, the excited Rus
ticus delivered Q powerful blow ON
the carpenters left ear. which made
the doughty knight of the plane aud
saw stagger back few PAGES and
see stars: but he recovered soon
enough to return the blow, which
made the exasperated Rusticus meas
ure his length on the street. Things
now looked squally, so a peace-lov-
ing citizen went in search of po-
liceman, who as usual, when any
disturbance was on the tapis, was
not to be seen. After a dilligent
search they found one snugly
ensconced in a coal-cellar. They
brought him out and conducted him
to the scene of difficulty. By this
time many friends of both combatants
were assembled, each doing his ut
most to create an outside pressure
in favor of his man.
The policeman, backed by the
posse comitatus, finally separated the
men, who were respectively well
scratched and torn. Each man took
his way with his friends, and each
man received advice, consolation
praise and admiration from his pr
tisans.

Some condemned one, some another,
until finally the entire village was
about equally divided on the SUBJ
ject.
The affair reached the ears of Mrs.
Rusticus, and also of Mrs. Mason.
These two women, straightway taking
sides with their husbands, rescinded
all relations as neighbors and asso-
ciates; and Tommy Rusticus solemnly
averred that he would thrash Tim
Mason the first time, he caught him
out.
The next morning after the fight,
Mrs. Mason was vending her way
across the lot, to the house of Mrs.
Rusticus, bearing upon her arm a
basket which contained variety of
domestic articles, which she had
borrowed at various times of Mrs.
Rusticus; a cup of brown coffee, a
couple of nutmegs, vinegar bottle,
a dress pattern, and other things of
less Importance. Mrs. Rusticus also
returned about ten pounds of -four,
q set Of spoon, etc.
After every obligation to each 9th

were in motion villifying each 9th
