sitting beside me, when young mar
called Jim came along and halted tc

"Look-a-yere, Dan Winters, Pm a
plumb up and down man."
Eyes; 1 reckon yo' ar, replied Dan.
"What 1 sez 1 sez, and what L sez |

"Yes that's yo', Jim. Got anything
to say jess about now?"

"Shoo! In luv with Belinda, eh ?n
"And L want to marry her,"
"Wall?'
"Wall, Dan Winters, yo've been a.

Dan, as he stood up and moistened his
hands.
"If l lay yo' Belinda is miner"
"She ar, FINISHES yours till
death!"
"Then come out and be flopped!"
There was clear space in front of
the door, and the pair took hold and
proceeded to business. The struggle
was brief one, however. In less than
sixty seconds Dan got his favorate
hold, and Jim was lifted high in the
air and then almost driven into the |
earth. He was unconscious for seven |
or eight minutes, and when he revived |
he got up and leaned against the cabin
in a dazed way and slowly asked:
"Dan Winters, ar flopped man?n
''Yes, yo' ar" was the reply.
"And I've lost Belinda?"
''Lost her furever, Jim."
"Dan, won't yo' gimme another
chance about six months from now?,

Dan said he'd give him year, and
