"Reczon he 6ld." pat II Betty's father IS
he aid down a half shelled ear to Aght his
PIPE.
"Whcu folls : eo0rtia' they often bust
up" observed jerry. g. he got comfortably
seated. "ibey - jealous fHcy git s.cA ot
each other. They git outer sorts. AeoOe
oae has a bad breath"
'Yaas, Jerry, lm f0ilerin' ye." said Bet
ty's father.
And when they bust up the best way is
20 be sensible. John don't want DO row
with Betty and Betty dOn't want no row
with John"
NO more | don't" murmured the fair
one.
John isn't atten for you, Bet He's all
for nevis, and whisky, and tobacco, AID
hghtiug; and you is all for poetry, and
stars, and clouds, aud flowers. You II too
hlgh-souled for John"
''Shucz my hide II that hain't sol" ex-
exclaimed Bcttys father. as he whacked
the tub with a big ear of corn.
Betty simpered aud giggled and the mcther
looked pleased.
That's why you busted" softly eX-
planned my friend. Had 10 come. Couldn't
help IL When one is too good for 'tother
bust always comes. Say, Betty, couldn't
sleep last night for thinking Of that verse
you wrote for my old woman when she was
sick last year III bet / repeated it over u
thousand times"
''Ou, j! MT. w lllicI plEB4cu DCbty-
.'Yaas, it run in my head I'LL couldn't
sleep. l kept saying:
"Old Mrs. White Is very sick
And mcbbc she Will die,
Although 10 save her from the grave
The doctor he VIII try"
"Ah, Betty, IL could write such poetry
as that wouldn't be sloshing around here
no great while, and you kin jigger 20 thatW
Honest Iniunin she asked, holding an
ear of corn in either hand
dead sure. And now. Betty, being as
you w ar too good for John, and being as
you've busted up, Pm going 20 send you
over them two black hogs and six geese
as present"
lis il for her wounded feelingsr asked
| Betty's father.
"Kinder that way and kinder because she's
SO good"
"Bet's cried heap and she's lost lots OF
time" put in the mother, land you'd better
| throw in that ar peacock"
"Durned If don't, Hammer. He's the
incest bird in the country and a peddler
offered me ten dollars for him, but chuck
| my hide IL L don't throw him inp'
''Theu l won't sue" said Betty.
s'NO, she won't" added the father.
.Thcn it's all settled bcfo' this gent, who
| is the witness" continued Mr. White. I'm
glad ont. It's theproper way. When folks
| love and bust up, as they sometimes viii,
| thar's q proper way 10 settle damages.
| We've settled and IN send the stuff right
over, and Bet viii be free 70 make up to that
/ feller who is selling fanning-mills up at the
corners and who'll be down this way to-nor-
row."
