is too much to ask. Girls must have
u chance. and IL YOU don't give it to
them they will take II.
So Mrs. Pruett watched Loorany gal
lanting around with Hildreth. of Hail.
and all the other chaps ready to take his
place. except John Wesley Millirons
who sat In the shade and made marks I'm
the sand with ,wig. Mrs. Pruett
watched all this. and sravely shook her
head. And yet the headshaking was
good-humOred and lenient. II Mrs.
Pruett had been asked at the time why
he shook her head she couldn'. have
told. She said afterwards that she
knew why she shook her head. and she
was inclined to plume herself on her
foresight. But you know how people
are. If matters had gone on smoothly
or even il Loorany had been like other
girls-Mrs. Pruett would have forgot
ten all about that fact that she shook
her head when she saw the lass gal
lanting around with Hildreth of Hall.
Mrs Pruett had a tent" on the camp
ground small cabin roughly, but
very comfortably fixed up. and she
stayed the week out. So did Loorany.
So did Hildreth. of Hall. But along
about Wednesday-the meeting had be-
gun on Sunday-John Wesley Millirons
ilung his saddle on his mule and made
for home. Loorany Parmalee and Hill
dreth. of Hall. were sitting in a buggy
under big umbrella, and very close to-
gether, when John Wesley went trot-
ting by. his long legs Tapping against
the sides of the mule. He bowed grave
ly as he passed, but never turned his
head.
Don't he look it?" laughed Loorany,
as he passed out of sight up the road
that led to Tray.

age when she is less a woman and feels
more like one than at any other stage
Of her existence? Mrs. Pruett tried
good humoredly to put a curb on Loor-
any, but the lass laughed and shook
tie bride off. and no wonder. consider
iHg the weakness of human nature.
She was beginning to taste the sweets
Of her first real conquest. for here was
Hildreth of Hall. the finest young fell
low Of the lot, following her about like
dog and running hither and yOn to
please her whims and fancies.
1t Is true that John Wesley Millirons
had been casting sleeps eyes at her for
several years. hanging around the
house on Sunday afternoons and rid
ing with her to church on Sundays;
but what of that? Wasn't John Wes-
ley almost the same as home folks?
And did he ever see the day that he
was as polite. or as quick to fetch and
carry, or as nimble with his tongue as
Hildreth of Hall?
Go along with your talk about solid
qualities! Girls must enjoy themselves
and have fun, how can you have the
heart to ask them to sit for hours with
a chap that mopes or Is too bashful to
talk tluently, or who looks like he Is
frightened to death all the time? 1t

as table. and on this table the Chris
tians pitched their rude tents and built
them rough tabernacle. and here they
held their yearly camp meeting.
To this meeting in 1863 came Hildreth
Of Hall and his kinsmen. Hither also
came number of people from Hatch's
Clearing. and among them Loorany
Parmalee. The old people had come to
pray. but the youngsters had come to
frolic. and the gayest of all was Loor-
any Parmalee. Here We're girls from
the villages roundabout, as well as girls
from the valley, and some of these
made believe to laugh at LOorany, but
the laugh was against them when they
saw the boys and young men iiocking
after her. Mrs. Pruett had more than
half promised to keep an eye on Loor-
any, and she did her best. but how
can a pious. manned lady keep up with
good looking girl when she is at an

the large circle that we are pleased to
call time-in the hope that under that
name 1t will become straight line and
SO take us away from many things that
are disagreeable and perplexing-
brings with 1t a certain stated and un-
varying periods Qf we but knew how to
measure hem rightly. the noxious in
fiuences which, when they culminate
we term war.
1t was in the sixties. as time goes,
when these noxious influences culmi-
mated in this vast nursery of manhood,
the American republic. Some of us
have already forgotten what the bother
was about never having had very clear
ideas as to the occasion of so much deS-
peration. Nevertheless it will be long
time before some of the details and de.
velopments are wiped from our memo
ries. As good luck would have II, Tray
mountain was out of the line of march.
SO to speak. The great circle encircled
1t, to be sure, but the noXiOus vapors
were thinner here than elsewhere. SO
that Tray elbowed it's way skyward
in perfect peace and security, and
would hardly have known that the
war was going on but for one event
which came like an explosion on the
quiet neighborhood. The echo of the
explosion, Mrs. Pruett claims, was not
heard until TOog Parmalee's pistol
went off close to his sweetheart's bosom
and that was only the other day.
Now, the war began gently enough
and went along easily enough so far as
Tray mountain was concerned. It's
sunsets were not more golden nor it's
wonderful dawns roster on that ac-
count. The thunders that shook
Manassas, and Malvern Hill and Gettys-
burg gave forth no sounds in the crags
Of Tray. If the truth must be told
there are no crags nearer than those Of
Yonah. or those which lift up and form
the chasm of Tallulah, for Tray Is j
commonplace. drowsy old mountain,
and 1t does nothing but sit warming its
sway back in the sun or cooling It In the
rain.
But Tray mountain had one attrac-
tion. If no other, and the name of this
attraction was Loorany Parmalee. In
a moment of high good numor, Mrs.
Pruett remarked that "ef Jerd had any
fault in the world it was in bein' too
good" Paraphrase this tender tribute,
and 1t would fit Loorany Parmalee to a
I. If she had any fault it was in being
too handsome. But beauty, 1t must be

ly figure on the porch. and inquire If
you can get a bunch of fodder for your
horse and glass of buttermilk for
yourself. Mrs. Pruett vii. turn first
to the right and then to the left See
ing no one but the children, she will
call out, in penetrating but not un-
pleasant voice:
Where on the face of the yeth Is
Sary's TOm?" Forth from the house
will come the boy you met on the road.
Cant you move?" Mrs. r'ruett will
say. "Yander's the stranger a-wond-
erin an a-reck'nin' what kind of O
place he's come to. an here's everybody
a-standin' aroun' an a-star-gazin' an
a-suckin' Their thumbs. Will you stir
'roun,' Tom, err shill go out an take
the strangers hoss? AK i'm to come
right in-an', here! you Mirandy! fetch
out that big rockin'-cheer"
1t Is safe to say that you will enjoy
everything that is set before you; you
will not complain even If the meat Is
fried, for the atmosphere of the noun
tain fits the appetite to the fare. If
Mrs Pruett likes your looks you will
catch her in an attitude Of listening for
something. Finally. you will hear a
shuffling sound in one of the rooms.
as If a man were moving about, and
then, If 1t Is Mrs. Pruett's old man
and she we'll knows by the sound
she'll lift her voice and call out: "Jerd!
what on the face of the yeth air you
doin' in there? You'll stumble an
break some er them things in there
show yourself? You hain't afeard er
nothin' ner nobody, I hope"
Whereupon Mr.. Pruett will come out
"a giant in height, with a slight stoop
in his shoulders and a pleasant smile
on his face. And he will give you a
hearty greeting, and his mild blue eyes
will regard you so steadfastly that you
will wonder why Mrs. Pruett asked him
If he was afraid Of anybody. Later,
you will discover that his inquiry is a
standing Joke with his wife, for Jerd
Pruett is renowned in all that region as
the most dangerous man in the noun
tains when his temper is aroused
Fortunately for him and his neigh
bors, he has the patience of Job.
You will find on closer acquaintance
with Jerd Pruett that he is man of
considerable information in q great
| many directions. and that he Is
possessed Of a large fund of common
sense. Naturally the talk will drift to
the murder OF the young woman by
Toog Parmalee. If you don't mention
1t, Mrs. Pruett will. for she has her own
ideas in regard to the tragedy.
whats bred in the bone will come
out in the BLOOD" she will say. Crazy!
why Toog Parmalee wern't no more
crazy when he kilt Sally Williams than
Jerd there-an' much he looks like be-
in crazyl"
And then Mrs. Pruett will bark back
