A VOLTS Point Episode.

Rose McClanahan was the acknowl-
edged belle of WolPs Point. I say
acknowledged" because nobody in
that isolated section of country, two
hys' travel up the Missouri River by
steamboat from st. Louis, would have
bad the temerity to dispute the fact,
specially in the presence of her
father. When Rose was seven years
old, the governor of Missouri, en-
route from Jefferson City to Boonville
upon one of the magnificent steamers
that then navigated the swift running
waters of the "Big Muddy" stepped
upon the shore while the boat was
'vooding up at the landing, and
catching the child in his arms, kissed
| her, and declared that she would some
dsy be the handsomest woman in the
Old State.
So it was that when Rose was SIX
teen years of age, and the governors
prediction was fast emerging into q
reality, her father, Jim McClanahan,
vas wont to swear by General Joe
Shelby, his hero, that the girl would
some day marry a member of the
legislature or circuit rider.
The people of VOLTS Point were
primitive in their ways, rude in man
ler and speech, and happy in their
ignorance. Indeed, the great arc light
Of civilization, which now sheds its
reiulgent rays over prosperous and
enlightened community, was at this
time spluttering like tallow dip and
continually threatening to go out.
Now and then Il wandering Method
lstpreacher would reach the Point"
on his circuit and hold revival. He
would warn the people to free
themselves from the chip lock" Of
Satan, and as rule his advice would
be kindly received, and everybody
would join the church. But when the
preacher departed, their religious zeal
npidly subsidized, and fell as low as
before his arrival. Sim McClanahan
vas always among the first to turn
away from the beckoning OF Satan at
The yearly revival, and to "backslide"
alter its close. But as ho remarked
0n one occasion, when he was cut off
'iommembership on account of drunk
enness, "They could turn him out of
'Aechurch if they had mind to, but
lHney couldn't keep him from being a
christian |"
During the summer months the resi-
dents of the "Point" would raise sufli-
cent truck to last them through the
winter; in the fall they hunted pos
sums; and in the winter they chopped
cOrdwood and attended "breakdowns. "

But he never finished the sentence.
Curtis fist landed on his jaw, and the
bully went down. When he got up,
his antagonist upset him again, and
repeated the performance several
times. At length Henshaw failed to
rise, and lay senseless. Curtis stood
by with folded arms
In n minute or two Bud recovered
consciousness and when he learned
that he hadn't even touched Curtis
during the fight, he darted out into
the brush and was soon lost to view.

The fiddle was brought, and Curtis
played as he had never done before.
When he concluded, there were tears
in Jim's eyes as he grasped Bob by
the hand and said, 1.-The gal is yours,
