.ence complete in every detail The
mountain man climbed back to his seat
las soon as Steve granted him that priv
ilege, and. gathering up his hickory,
said: CATER all, reckon you know yo'
own mind best-don't reckon you really
do want to buy bar. Good-by, sah!''
Evening came and strangers who had
heard that desperate man would
wrestle with ferocious bear gathered
at the place of encounter.
''Now, gentlemen" said Steve, tthe
time has come for me to show you what
a white man can do. All my folks
were bar fighters, and SO far as heard
from not one of them was ever whipped.
Some hunters have just brought in a
monstrous bar from down in the bot
toms, and all that want to see me fight
him just pay twenty-five cents and
come ahead"
A number Of men paid their money
and followed him into the back lot.
Those who were acquainted with the
indolent habits Of the bear, said moth
ing, partly through fear Of mourning
the enmity Of old Steve, but mainly to
foster a laugh at the expense Of the
gullible ''tenderfeet."
Steve conducted the spectators to the
tree where the bear was chained. The
brown Of evening, making mystery Of
the huge black mass OF animal life, and
hiding the patches on his coat, pro-
claimed him savage monster.
Gentlemen" said Steve, "befo' go
into this here fight, want to tell you
that don't deserve no sympathy, for I
have brought it on myself. Here goes"
He made made lunge at the bear.
The monster threw himself in an up
right position against the tree and
caught Steve in his arms. For a mo-
ment there was silence, and then a
loud yell split the stiffness of the deep
ening twilight. The bear boxed Steve,
he Rugged him time and again and then
appeared to be biting him.
'sTake him awayI he's KILN mel"
the gladiator cried. Two men seized
Steve's legs and drew him beyond tho
bears reach, and the monster-and in
deed he was one now-stretched his
chain in his efforts to renew the en-
gagement. Steve was taken into the
house. He was covered with blood and
| it was evident that number of his ribs
| were broken.
"Have you anything to say?" some
one asked. SIT may be- probable that
you can't talk after awhile"
"Al that I've got to say is this,
Steve groaned. 81 wish hadn't got 50

Several men went out with a lantern
to look at the victor. They found moth

up he saw that the mountain man had
again stopped at the gate.
Look here," Steve yelled. now under
very little restraint, Thought I told
You to go on away from here"
"You did tell me, and / did go away,
but that didn't keep me from comm
back again. I have been to nearly
every place in this town, and nobody
don't seem to want bar, and the fact
has begun to crawl into my mind that
the bar market down here is pretty
dull Down yonder Jest now the thought
struck me that srter all you mout want
q real bar, and as am willin' to help
you out with yo' wants, win let You
have this here one for ten dollars"
Steve went out to the gate. He put
his elbows on a wheel Of the wagon,
and looking hard at the mountain man,
said:
ST have been very kind to you"
81 haven't made that diskivery, but
if you have been kind to me I'm much
.obleeged."
81 have been kind to you. and now I
want to tell you what I'm goin' to do;
I'm goin' to maui you.''
And he did maui him. He snatched
the mountain man out Of the wagon and
wallowed him in the road. And during
the performance the bear sat in the
wagon and looked on with an indiffer-

due bar that amt never done you no
harm. But putin all that to one side,
let me ask you seriously if you want to
buy b'ar?"
81 told you that I've got all the bar
want" old Steve sharply replied.
The mountain man gathered up his
hickory fail as if he would drive on, but
then. with the appearance of having
changed his mind, stretched his long
neck toward old Steve and said:
''When you say you've got all the bar
you want, 1 reckon you mean that
mouse-gnawed and bug-eat invilid out
yander in the back lot.''
Steve got up, and, through the force
Of custom acquired in earlier life,
busted the seat Of his trousers. The
mountain man again had gathered his
hickory for decisive blow at his mule,
but hoarse command from old Steve
but full Of meaning, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

his anger, and attempting to speak in G.
quiet way, said: 81. have been living

a man that amt never pestered in no

81 don't know nothin' about y family
and wouldn't ther'fo' insult member

said that this here bar is a kitten of q

Steve placed his hand on a post to

there with him. Jim's the gripman,

Two weeks, and I'm hanged II she
hasn't put in the best half Of the time
riding round with him in the car. They
couldn't afford to take trip OFF, You
see. and so they're putting the honey
moon in this way.
"She's little brick, though, I tell
yous" he went on, as he started the car,
after a pause to help on board a stout
woman with seven packages, land when
I get married, If ever do, I don't want
no better. It gets pretty cold in there
along in the evening; but, bless you,
she don't mind it. This is his last trip,
and she never fails to take it with him.
Then, when he knocks off, they walk
home together as happy as a pair Of
doves"
It was quite dark in the gripman's
compartment. except for the glimmer
from the store windows and the cleo
tric-lights az the car shot past them.
But it was light enough for them. The
stalwart young gripmSn would bend
down once in awhile to say a word or
catch a glimpse of her face, and she
seemed quite content to sit there and
watch him as he damned the grip
handle up and pulled down on the
brake.
''Yes, SIR" said Jim, we've been
married two weeks tomorrow. May
be you think it funny way to
spend a honeymoon, and so it is. But
it's Mary's doing. I'd saved up enough
to take a week or so off, but she
wouldn't have it. She says: Well just
lay that away for a rainy day, and I'll
come and ride on the car with YOU

why they should, for she pays her fare

CHAPTER- XIX.

"CALL LADY scARBoRouGH's CARRIAon-"
Meanwhile grand event is agitating
the upper circles of London society,
which is none other than the splendid
ball to be given by the Countess OF
Scarborough and her sister, Miss
Honoria Grahame, the joint heiresses OF
Sir Harry Grahame, In the Grahame
mansion, which has been magnifcently
refitted in honor of the suspicious occa-
sion-the public declaration that their
period of mourning for their deceased
brother is past, and that they are now
ready once more to enter into the gay
whirl of life among the upper ten
thousand.
And the high anticipations of the
votaries of fashion were not doomed to
disappointment. 1t was the ball of the
season, and the wonder was that
though DEFENDERS chilly winds were
bowling in the streets, and all great
personages were supposed to be away
at their ancestral halls, there was hard
ly a refusal, and my Lady Scarborough
had been very prodigal of her invita-
tions.
Why stop to describe the magnificent
ballroom? They said the flowers alone
band discoursed ravishing music; serv-
ants in the most critically correct liv-
cry fitted about the great hall, the sup
per room presented a scene like a
glimpse into fairy palace; and as for
the ladies' dresses, l, a mere man,
would not dare the proclamation of a do
scription of them.
A proud woman was Lady Scar
borough that night. Born to the purple,
she had never till then tasted the de-
light OF reveling in extravaganza with
out the anxiety of considering the cost.
1t was to her moment of thrilling
ecstacy, and her eyes shone as brightly
as the family diamonds which flashed
on her rounded neck. People won
dered little, and I am afraid my lord
swore good deal at her ladyship's adj
hitting the Colburn family into the
magic circle of which she was queen,
but the most critical only attributed it
to dear Lady Scarborough's marvellous
good nature" and did not grudge the
attorneys wife and daughters the en-
joyment of their sudden elevation.
And it was a proud moment, too, for
Mr.. Colburn. 1t is not permitted to
many to rise to such giddy heights from
his humble start In life, and his bosom
filed with conscious pride.
Nay, it was even whispered that a
prince of the blood royal would be
present, and the company was kept in
thrilling suspense awaiting his advent,
each late arrival causing more craning
of necks and hushed conversations
than is customary on such occasions.
My lord had just whispered into my
lady's ear that his royal highness was
actually on his way from the palace,
and triumph was blazing in her eyes
when the groom of the chambers in a
loud, sonorous voice announced:
'Sir Harry Grahame and Mr.. Dunbar!'

After the Battle.
[copYR1GHr, 1921

One of the most striking characters
that ever lived in the character-gather-
Ing community of Hot Springs, Ark,
was old Stephen Rutherford. No one
knew the place Of his original abode,
the starting ground of his quaint and
dispensab1e career, and indeed no one
seemed to care, but every one that.
came within his range was impressed
with his odd personality. He was tall
and gaunt and grizzled; his eyes were
afflicted with a watery sleepiness, but
suddenly became eager at the sight of a
dollar. He kept a sort of roadhouse,
which he designated as Bear park, near
the town of Hot Springs, and made his
living by administering to the thirst
and catering to the amusement Of the
wayfaring man, who, even though q
fool, often erred therein; erred, say,
for the man who drank the sour beer
drawn by old Steve could not have
stopped short of SHINING against self.
The amusement consisted Of a black
bear, old, lazy and Aea-bitten. This
animal, advertised as Of most furious
| disposition, was kept chained to a tree
in a back lot; and at evening, when the
| accommodating dusk threw a hiding
shade over the bears most striking
faults, i. e., 1aziness and flea bites, old
Steve would announce to his guests
that he was now about to engage in the
dangerous feat of wrestling with the
ferocious monster from the Mississippi
swamps. Those who knew the trick
drank their beer IN uuconcern, but
those who did not paid twenty-five
cents and passed into the back lot to see
the desperate encounter.
One afternoon when old Steve was
sitting on his veranda a man from the
mountains came along driving RED
mule and q white steer hitched to g
shalxy and crealking wagon. In the
wagon there were a few small cab
bages and black bear.
"Say," said the mountain man, stop
ping his team, "don't you want to buy
the finest bar you ever seen?"
''No," Steve replied; 'got all the bal
I want"
