Providence, ! hope to pile you"
"Providence comes In putty
handy at times,7 said the old man
pulling OF his coat, "but it's a
hard matter to buck agin IN old
stager. Get outen your jacket. If
fall, the gal and the farms yourn.
Four hundred acres, and all under
fence. Gal weighs $50. Big in.

aud again Dick plowed up the
earth.
"Don't give up,' said the girl.
"No,' said the old man, "for the
land is under fence, and the gal
weighs l5O-can handle hoe won.

Dick went away and pondered.
1t was evident that the old man
could throw him every time. To
lose the girl was to wreck bis life.
An idea struck him. He SMILED.
He left the neigbborhood and re-
manned until the time for the third
fall was nearly up. On the ap.
pointed day he visited the old man.
81 have agreed to everything
said Dick, "and now I ask a favor.
Hitherto / have been embarrassed.
Let the anal trial take place to-
night, in the dark. l will meet you
here at ten o'clock"
Anyway suits me-" replied the
old man. "I1t meet you any.
where"
At ten o'clock the old man stood
in the yard chuckling. His com.
blatant climbed the fence and ap.
preached. Without exchanging a
word the two men grappled. The
struggle was short. The old man
went up in the air, came down and
struck the ground with a force that
almost took his life. He lay for q
moment aime~t unconscious. Dick
raised him up and assisted him into
the house.
"The gal and ,he farm 10 yourn,'
said the old man, and the young
couple embraced each other. The
next day they were married.
Shortly after the ceremony was
over large negro man appeared
at the door and, attracting Dicks
attention, said, 81 wants my ten
dollars, | flung de old man hard
'nough ter kill him. Whar's my
money!" Dick gave him ten dol.
lars and turning around, received a
searching look from the old man.
an explain said the bridegroom.
"Realizing that / couldn't throw
you, and at the same time realizing
that NJ, happiness depended npon
this marriage, | resoried to 4 bit of
trrachery.' Here be stopped to
buckle his arms around his wife.
II found big negro that knew
ronld throw you, and offered him
ten dollars. That's why wanted
the wrestlr to take place in the
dark. After he had thrown you |
rushed forward and raised you up"
When Dick had finished the old
man looked nj him for full FIVE
minutes. and remarked: ut was a
mighty mean trick, but the farm
and gal are your'n. Four hundred
acres under fence, aud the gal
weighs $50"
