With q low hiccough, the old town pump,
Sounded outside of the door;
And every loafer looked round 10 see
Who the devil the fellow ceuld be
Who entered the country store.
While the horses stamped I'm the slush and rain
And the nightingale the window pane:

sat q young fellow with stopped shoulders.
under the shade of q broad-rimmed straw
hat. ~coaxing from his pipe long swirls OF
smoke. with either boot set on the hearth.
and his hands ciasped about his knees.
A small man. wearing a shiny beard.
struggled with a huge plug of tobacco op
the wall. looking out with q merry adver-
tising twinkle IN his eye. where horrible
soap signs hung and washboards were
piled. Above the center of the room a light
burned dimly in a corroded wire that sus-
pended ii from the ceiling. The s~toveshad,
in course Of time, taken upon itself an
epithelium coat. composed of burnt am
bier, and stood up TO its thighs in saw
dust. but with either cheek as red and
warm as that Of q Norwegian logger.
The door of the cheese-box was open, dis
closing q small remaining chunk in o state
of reservation equal to that OF the best
mummy ever harvested in Egypt 4.

lence was broken by Dave, who said:
Miss Grigshy, you can go over and stay
with mother II you van to-"
kellum iooked at her. but her head
was bent down. Then the faint
est expression of suppressed merri-
ment swept over the crowd as they
glanced at each other. and the silence con.
rinued. After another period of that
peculiar silence which eats the very soul
out of a man. Dave got up. walked 10 the
door and looked out. Ii was n terrible
night. Turning around. his face very pale
and his hand still on the knob, he said:
Sarah, come on"
All eyes were turned TO Kellum. who sat
with a vicious menace on his face. looking
at the girl. who arose and followed Dave.
Soon alter they disappeared in the rain.

had bought a buggy. The full msaninC of
such q financial feat as this may not hit

If q few were not swept from

them and piled mp the slain. Not q word

stove and proceeded to dry themselves. The
