see that he don't get the chance to pay
me-"
True to her resolution, she avoided
Gideon, merely speaking in civil way
when she passed him in the street, or
met him at a friends house.
Year after year went swiftly by, and
still Philena did not marry. This was
her own choice, for several worthy men
had sought her hand. Try as she
would to put him out Of her mind, the
face of Gideon Bright haunted her
dreams, and she would softly sigh:
IF he only had the least bit of
gun1ptton.''
Gideon still loved Philena with all
his heart. and fondly hoped some day
to win her. He lived in the rooms over
his barber shop, and took his meals at
Dame Cations, who lived next door.
Being SO much alone, he got more in
the habit of talking to himself, and
Philena was generally the subject of
his conversation.
At the time my story opens, Gideon
was forty-two years old. and Philena
was thirty-eight-

independence, and commented there
on. His remarks were furiously APP
p1auded, and then all joined in singing
America"
After this they wandered about the
grove, or along the shore, or gathered
in groups beneath the wide-spreading
trees. Philena, always helpful, was
amusing some of the little ones, while
Gideon sat in the shade Of large oak,
apparently listening to Judge Wise
and Lawyer Pinch, but, in reality,
watching Philena. After a little while
some one asked Gideon to help put up
the swing. When he returned Philena
was nowhere in sight. He busted him
self with the preparations for dinner,
and after the rough tables were made
he went down to feed the horses. He
took the measure of oats from the
wagon and placed it on the seat He
was talking to himself and did not
notice that Phi1ena sat just back of a
large oak that grew by the shore She
had brought little Mary Price down to
the shore, and she had fallen asleep as
she lay on a shawl that Philena had
spread on the ground. Philena sat by her
side and d. canned of what her life might

This was a habit he had when ex-

cited.
IT declared It's too bad1 I don't
know as I blame her, either. Here
I've been going with her for sac gears,
and I've never had the courage to tell
her how we'll love her. I believe she
knows that want her, and she thinks
it's time I told her so, an SO 1t is. /
won't let another day pass over my
head without KNOWN just what she
thinks"
Well for Gideon if he had kept his
resolution, but when morning came he
felt more timid and bashful than ever.
He said to himself: Its now or
never" He walked briskly along, and
soon arrived at Parson Pray's gate.
Philena was working among the
flowers that grew near the gate. She
was expecting him and her heart beat
little faster, and her cheek took on a
roster hue, as she said:
Good morning. Gideon"
"Good morning, Philena."
wont you come imp
She smiled as she spoke, and Gideon
thought there never was fairer woman
in the world. She took step toward
the gate as if to open it. Gideon got
very red and stammerea:
mo, thank you" He realized
that he had made a b1under, and 1t
confused him more and more. He
took off his hat, and furiously mopped
his perspiring brow, and then said:
ST left something at the church last
night and was going after it,"
Poor Gideon! He was so worked up
by this time that he could not think of
another word to say, and he pulled his
hat over his eyes, and abruptly walked
away. Philena did not speak her
thoughts aloud, if she had she would
have said: 81 guess he did leave some
thing, he left his brains if he's got any,
for he didn't have any this morning. 1
wonder if he expects me to offer myself
to him If 1 should, he'd get as red as
lobster and say: It's of no account.
Please don't discommode yourself, Miss
Philena,'"
She cast look of scorn after him,
and then went about her work.
Gideon went on his way, angry with
himself for his blunder. I'D kick my
self if 1 could. I'd left something at
tie church. Wasn't that bright
speech? You're an idiot, Gideon Bright. -
He turned about and walked back,
fully determined to go straight to
Philena. He walked slowly by the
house, but he did not see Philena. His
courage, as usual, left him at the last
moment, and he walked homeward;
and when he was once more in his little
shop, his face wore a despairing look as
he said:
Gideon Bright, you've let the chance
of your life slip by. I don't believe
she'd have you now anyway"
Philena saw him when he came back,
and she really hoped that he would
come IN, but she was disappointed. and
as he walked slowly by. she thought:
81 don't believe he cares anything
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1895-06-27

After Gideon had trimmed Deacon
Hemper's beard. he accompanied him
to the door, and as they stood there in
the sunshine talking in a gossipy,
neighborly way, young Serene Hemper
came along. He was going to have
picnic on the Fourth of July in their
grove, three miles from the village.
He wished Gideon to attend.
Gideon could talk we'll enough when
he was with the men, and he said:
''1'd like to go. I'd enjoy it real well.
It's long time since attended pic
mic Bet then-it's no use thinking
about it. I'd just be an odd one among
you
ooh, don't talk that way. We're all
going in a big wagon, and we mean to
have jolly time"
Gideon consented to go, and they
walked on and he returned to his little
shop. He longed to go and invite
Philena to accompany him, and he said
softly, as he polished his shears before
he put them away:
Now, Gideon, be a man, and ask
Pbilena to accompany you to the pic
mic. It's better late than never, and
you might get her yet. 1 almost think
she likes you little, and then she re-
fused John Haimes, and perhaps you
have been mistaken all these years,
and she does care for you. Anyway. 1
believe I'll ask Philena to go to the pic
mic with me-"
He started out, and just as he turned
the corner who should he meet but
Philenai He merely said: Good morn
ing and hurried into the grocery near
by as though he really wished to avoid
her. He saw her when she returned,
but Mrs. Shower was with her, and he
returned to his little shop and passed
the day in miserable state of mind.
Day after day went by, and the
Fourth was at hand. The load OF
merry men and women stopped at
Dame Cations for Gideon. They had
a lumber wagon, with seats placed
around the box, and a canopy of white
duck to protect them from the sun.
Gideon took his seat in the wagon, and
the horses started off at lively pace.
Gideon looked around, and there be-
side him sat Philena Pray. His heart
leaped to his throat and prevented him
from taking part III the conversation.
When they reached the picnic
ground, Serene Hemper said:
''Here, Gideon, make yourself useful
and assist the ladies' One by one he
assisted them from the high wagon.
AS he was about to help Philena, Mrs.
Stout stepped on her dress, and she was
thrown forward right into Gideon's
arms. For one brief blissful second
he clasped her form and her warm
breath swept his cheek. Philena was
annoyed, but she made some laughing
remark, while Gideon blushed and
stammered an awkward apology.
After the people had all arrived there
was grand lot of speechmaking, and
the music OF fife and drum made the
woods merry between the speeches.
Judge Wise read the Declaration of

was not a ''bad-1ooking man" At
least he told himself so as he carefully
brushed his well-kept hair back from
his forehead and gazed at his reflection
in the mirror. This is what he saw:
A short, fat little man, with his hair
carefully parted in the back and
colnbed forward over his ears and
(truth must be told if he was barber)
a bald spot on the top of his head.
This bald spot had steadily increased
in size in spite of all the ''vigors" and
''elixirs'' that he had regularly applied
to it. To-day, as he looked at it, it
seemed to be larger than ever. and he
said to himself, as he applied the wash:
Its no use, Gideon. You are get
ting old, and you might just as we'll
own it first as last. If you had any
spunk at all you'd have been married
long ago"
Just then Deacon Hemper came in
to have his beard trimmed, and Gideon
smiIingly advanced to serve his old
customer.
Gideon was very bashful, and always
got fdgety and red in the face when
ever a woman spoke to him, and al
ways said ''no" when he meant to say
eyes, and if he did venture to be
agreeable to lady he always made a
dismal failure of it; and so he kept get
ting worse, and, although he was very
fond of their society, finally avoided
them as much as possible.
Years ago there had been a vague
rumor afoat that Gideon was goin' to
marry Philena Pray" Gideon heard
that rumor and heartily wished that it
was the truth, but he knew that, much
as he wished it to be SO, he had not the
courage to find out what she thought
about it.
Philena Pray was the daughter of
the village clergyman, and had been a
handsome girl, rather above the medi-
um height, with flashing black eyes
and rosy cheeks. She was not lacking
in spirit, and one day, after Gideon had
kept her company for six years and
they were no nearer an understanding
than they were at first, she made up
her mind to bring matters to crisis;
and so, when Gideon stepped up to see
her home from meeting, she Tilted him
before them all, and went home with
her father.
Gideon went home in no pleasant
mood. AS he sat before his fire he ran
his fingers through his hair until it
stood on end, and then he would rise
and pace tue floor and talk to himself.
