HARDING'S REVENGE.

Good evening. Miss Emma; truly q
most charming rural picture, you
know; pretty milkmaid, lowing kline
and all that sort of thing, you know"
eyes, and not even the calf Is lacking
to complete the picture"
1t was a mans voice. and both turned
to behold the figure of Bob Russell,
clad in his farmers blouse, long boots
and wide straw hat. He had Whit
fletree over his shoulder and his plow
team were slowly following him in the
distance. The girls eyes sparkled, and
Harding's face grew white at the insult
conveyed In Russell's remark. He said
nothing, however, for he knew from
experience that he stood no chance
with Russell In a contest of country
raillery, but in his heart he swore to
repay the giant granger with interest.
He hated him intensely, as intensely
rs Russell despised him. Russell was
jealous. From childhood he had looked
upon Emma Madden as his own. He
had fought for her at school, and after
wards when he had attained manhood's
years and she had blossomed into the
fairest maiden of the whole country
side, none Of the rural SWANS bought
Of disputing his claim. Until now the
girl had accepted Bob's air Of proprie-
torship without protest, for she was
proud Of him and really loved the
huge, good-natured fellow. He was a
prosperous farmer, handsome of face
a nd a II 20,
for his physical prowess. The coming
of Harding into the neighborhood,
with his city airs and elegant clothes,
however, had interfered with the course
Of true love. The girl was pleased with
his elegant attentions. and Bob's very
evident jealousy had led her in a spirit
of pique to encourage them rather than
otherwise
Without further recognition Of Hard
ing's presence Russell threw down the
whiffletree. stepped to the bars, leaned
over and said to the girl:

milking. aren't you? Have the Texas
flies begun to interfere with the flow

he did and for an instant was para

run this way. EN-! For Gods sake
rum!
She hesitated but moment and then
with the speed Of deer, the girl dart
ed toward and past Bob, who stood
still, encouraging her In her flight by
his voice.
There was now no time for Russell
to escape. The only hope for either
himself or the girl lay in his ability to
overcome the infurated animal. Had
he been armed, even with a pitchfork,
this would not have been so difficult.
but he had nothing on which to depend
save his own strength and agility
On came the ugly brute directly to-
ward Russell, his head lowered and
giving vent to his rage in low hoarse
bellows. To Harding. who had stepped
from behind the barn door and had fed
to the road. from which safe place he
turned to witness the result Of his
vengeful scheme, it seemed as though
the man must be impaled on the sharp
horns of the beast or borne down and
trampled to death.
Just as the bull was upon him, how.
ever, the farmer stepped lightly aside
caught the rushing animal by one horn
and threw his weight upon it. The re-
suit was just what he had calculated
upon when in that brief moment OF
time he had determined upon the ona
effort left to him. The brute's head
was borne downward and to one side,
the horn struck and penetrated tina
ground. and the bull, with almost q
complete somersault, fell with a broken
neck, carrying Russell with him but
fortunately inficting no more serious
injury upon the young Hercules than
a few bruises.
Harding waited no longer. He SUNK
down the roadway and next day was
back In the city.
To this day 1t is mystery to Farmer
Madden how bad Ben" escaped from
his stall. Bob Russell. however. thinks
he could guess, and not more than half
