Club and her father verified all the
rumors by inviting their friends to the
wedding.
Then they went to the nearest town
to buy her we'd ling dress and such ap-
poiutments a. Dawson was determined
his daughter should have.
"I've got plenty Of money" he said to
his friends. "Ive earned it for Chub,
and she's bound to have the best"
That was sufficient.
Everybody applauded Hank DawSon's
decision. 1t was politi, to do so. Hank
was inviting crowd to the wedding.
There would be abundance to eat and
drink-fddlers fer a hundred, fun for
everybody. And everybody wanted to
be "on hand" at Clubs wedding.
Chub's wedding was the talk of the
countrv for miles around. 1t was an
extraordinary event.
She was the prettiest girl in that re-
gion. She was the smartest and the
most spirited She was the besO cook
and the test shot. She could manage
the most unruly horse, and men had
stood in not little awe Of her
She had hosts of admirers, and it was
never known that any one had been so
courageous as to ask her to marry him.
Above all, she would have more money
than any girl in the entire district Hank
Dawson had ever so much money in
bank. had inherited fortune from a
brother who died in distant city, and
was able to point to three fine farms
within sight of his own home.
And all would go to Club when Hank
Dawson died.
OF course now that the marriage wasS
approaching, Dan Bash was cOngra u
lated daily. His good fortune was re-
marked
To the surprise of all, Dan Bash took
the compliments as matter of course.
He did not think he was bound to be
grateful to Hank Dawson, and he plainly
jntin ated as much when occasion seemed
TO demand the expression Of his inde-
pendence.
81 am to be envied for securing one of
the best wo rem in the world" he said
more than once. ain my opinion, Belle
Dawson is the equal of any woman in
the State.
That was the manner in which he re-
ferred to the woman he was going to
marry He seemed to think he was the
equal of any man or woman; he did
not assume superiority, but it was quite
O matter of course that the prettiest and
richest and cleverost girl in the county
should be willing TO marry him.

they stood lite apart, while many of
the crowd looking at them marveled at
the strength and suppleness of the new
conner in the mountain district
you're welcome to my house. Every
body is" said Hank Dawson.
"Then am included among the crowd. I"
ayes. Though we'll be more like
friends, if you are as square as you
look"
The blacksmith looked him all over.
"But you are the most deceivin' man
I've met. Where did you learn it?
Travel with a circus?"
Bash laughed.
"No? I'll swon l don't see where else
you picked it up, Do you know, you've

Dawson chuckled. 1t was fun for
Dawson.

"Whats that?"
81 can't lift half as much as you, nor
hit as hard"
Dawson laughed.
81 don't know about that. If 1 wanted
to wallop an apprentice l wouldn't hire
you"
The crowd soon separated after that,
and every man there told such stories Of
the prowess of the new teacher that
their acquaintances promptly called them
liars.
But there were many who had reason
to believe the stories told. And when
Dan Bash entered the school there was
