Bear hunts may be read with
much interest by the old people.
but | am going to cap the climax
and relate IL story Of Il different
mold to interest the young readers
OF The HERALD. So, here goes:
Not one hundred years ago, nor
ono hundred miles from here, lived
two young men, who were in those
days looked upon as butterflies of
fashion," Their names were Joe
and Bill, though they were not
brothers. They were just budding
into manhood and becoming quite
prominent in the social circle. 1t
IS proper to say they wcro very
well thought of generally in the
community in which they lived.
Like all other young men when
they reach certain age i'm life,
Joe and Bill had kind of spirit
to get into their minds which is
hard to resist. They had reached
II point whore they could take Il
delight in looking rather cross
eyed" at the girls. The girls
seemed to possoss II kind of personal
charm that was very attractive and
Of considerable notice TO the big,
sparkling eyes Of these two promi-
nent young men. 1t is pertinent
to state the girls were exceedingly
glad to have it so.
Joe and Bill for some time had
desire to go with two young girls,
who were sisters, out in the coun-
try some distance. They had no
doubt in their mind but what they
could go with Thorn easy as trying,
but had not the courage to make
the attempt. Sunday came, and
there was preaching out in the
country. Joe and Bill put on their
best-homc-spun--and started out
on foot to church. On their way
they agreed to go with these girls
Il forgot their names) from meet
ing if they were there, that is, if
they could.
AS luck would have it, the two
girls were ut church, and looking
rs pretty a. 10-dollar gold pieces.
So, after preaching was over, and
the crowd began to leave for their |
homes, Joe and Bill picked up the
courage to go around to where the
girls were and asked them for their
company. With a very pleasant
smile the girls accepted. 1t was
some distance TO the home OF the
girls, but the walk was good cNcr-
else, AID as pleasant rs horseback .
riding is now.
1t is quite evident that Joe and !
Bill, while accompanying the girls
to their home, lost no time in talk
ing about the beautiful scenery
they had occasion to view, and in
cidentally getting up n case of
courtship with them. In this they
we're successful. The end of the
Journey was finally reached. Joe
and Bill were invited to go in and
stay for supper. This they did, it
being late in the day, and they had
had no dinner and were hungry.
An elegant supper was soon pre-
pared and eaten with n relish. Joe
and Bill were then invited into the
old-time parlor and be contcntod
till their girls could come in.
They had not long TO wait, as the
girls soon camo in. by this time
it was night, and tho moon was
shining almost as bright as day.
After spending few hours with
the girls, they babe them good
night and left for their homes, zach
one getting invitations to come
back again the next Saturday
night, which they promised to do.
On the following Saturday even
ing Joe and Bill went according To
promise. And now, dear reader,
when | relate the events that hap
pened if YOU don t laugh your titles
;lear, | will never attempt To- tell
sparkling tale. But to
proceed: .
Joe and Bill reached the homo Of
he girls and were accorded very
hearty welcome. Supper was soon
IN hand and over with. Then Joe
md Bill with their girls went to
he parlor and spent about half
.hr nigh, sparkling. NJ this hour
