AN ARKANSAS
....LOVE STORY.

1t was the evening after a glorious
summer day. A stylish-like maiden,
whose beauty was of the Castillian
type, sat on the doorstep lost in med.
itation. 1t was only an humble cabin
on the banks Of the Arkansas river,
but she was not proud. Her mother
was inside declaring that she'd be dog.
goned to skunks If she wasn't eittin'
tired of coon meat and corn meal. but
the maiden heard her not. The old
man was digging thorn out Of his
heel with his jack knife, and growing
that he'un was plum ripe, ready to be
gittin to some place whar' man
with ambition could have two shirts
year, but the maiden never moved a
toe. The old yellow mule, who was
tired of looking for grub where grub
was not, leaned up against corner of
the shack and raised his voice in
lamentation, but the Castilian beauty
seemed to have been carved out of
hunk of Vermont marble. Could
nothing move her?
rs that you'n, Sal?"
1t was gentle voice from the other
side OF the beautiful brush fence in
front of the snack. Its owner was n
young man of Apollo outfit and beauty,
and his tones thrilled the meditatiye
maiden like snake bite. She was
coy. She waited to blush and gigele.
and still her fluttering heart, and then
she arose and shyly advanced to the
spot on which his hoofs were glued.
