And Lou ,Remained over.

That night | went to bed and went
TO sleep wonderin what in the thunder
ations | would do with that stray Amer
lean boy from Georgy. Accordin to the
Scriptures the earth had already been
replenished considerable right around
there, and so fur as | knew nobody
hadn't forgot the multiplication table
nor burnt up any cradles to speak of.
And if in spite of that the boys had put
in to comm across the line from Georgy,
and comm to stay, l didn't know for
certain where the rush would stop.
But, anyhow, | put the Georgy
youngster out in the shed room that
night with the rest of the boys. BY
the first crack of day next mornin he
was up and about. When I got out to
the lot he had fed the horses and tend
ed to the stock. When l got to the
woodpile he had cut up stove wood
enough to last two days. When | start
ed to the spring | met him comm up
the hill with three buckets of water
one in each hand and the third one on
his head. And then when mother went
down to the COW pen, bless heavens if
he want standin there at the bars with
the calf rope in his hands ready waitin
for chance to turn off another job.
Now, it had went through my head
the other night that | would ride over
TO old man Jerry Rutherford's the next
mornin TO see if he wouldn't take the
Georgy boy to his house and make
place for him. Old man Jerry didn't
have no boys of his own so fur as any
body knowed, and l lowed it mought
suit him to fill out his hand with the
little straggler from Georgy. But be-
fore breakfast that mornin, seein what
l had saw, says to myself, says I:
Little man, your name mought be
Watson, or it mought be Smith-it
mought be that you come from Georgy,
or Reelfoot Lake, or Habbersham or
Kalamazoo. But I'll be essentially
dadburned If you amt right in re-
cards to one thing-you have come to
stay"
And so for seven long years Lou Wat

"After that" says Billy George with
an able-bodied twinkle in his eye, 81
didn't have blame thing to do but
hang around and let them town girls
ride their own wheel andhave their own
fun. Dadblame 'em, l knowed their
time was comm.
"First thing after dinner we went off
down on the creek to the grapevine
swing under that big beech tree. One
of the girls lowed she had read some
thin in book oncst upon time about
swingin in a grapevine swing and she
was most crazy to see how it would feel.
The other one was more than willin
providin 1 would swing with 'em and
the vine was plenty strong to hold up
with three. Now as for me had on my
Sundayest clothes, and 1 didn't have no
wild romantic notions about how it
would feel to be swingin in grapevine
swing back and forth across the widest
place in the creek. was pluperfectly
satisfied that somethin would come to
pass with them two town girls before
the sun went down with a bobtail flush
behind the western hills, and | lowed
their time was comm now presently.
"But nothin else would do, and ruther
than bust up the show and spile the fun,
went on across with the girls. By this
time 1 reckon they have got slight
idea that swingin in a grapevine swing
amt what it use to be. We swung across
back and forth two or three times with
a smooth and steady swish, and then
the Old swing broke and we all went
down into the creek with a mighty
swash.
Snow, if you remember, Uncle Rufe,
there is plum nest of grapevines and
bamboo briars along the banks of that
creek. We didn't get drowned cause
the water want deep enough for that,
but of all the scramblin and screamin
and splashin and huggin you ever saw
or heard tell of or read about, me and
them two town girls we had it then and
there.
"And when finally at last we come
forth and got out on safe ground oncst
more they want so tremendous much
orettier than me, and | had on jest
about as many clothes as they did. Dod-
blame EN-, 1 knowed their time was
comm somewheres along the line and |
was willin to go down with en- if itha1
to come that way.
"What next? Well, them two town
girls took their blamed old wheel and
went on back home, whilst l left the
dear. delightful old grapevine swing
floatin down the creek au6 went on my
way rejoicin.
"You can tell all you know about
how I rid the wheel You can tell all
YOU know about me and the girls and

The diminishing losses in battle prove
conclusively, says a writer in Cham
bers' Journal, that war is no longer so
murderous as il was. The alteration in
tactics and in the formation of troops
attacking has counteracted the supe-
rior precision and range of modern fire
arms. The shell. though its moral eff
feet is greater, is not so destructive as
the round shot, grape and canister Of
the old days playing upon troops ad-
vancing in line or column. The mag

curaey and penetrating power TO the

Them Two Town Girls.

When Billy George Begin come by ouI
house on Saturday eyenin before the
last third Sunday on his return back
home from a big picnic they had that
day over at Tankersly's Stations
couldn't help from feelin sorry for the
boy slap down to the bottom of my
heart.
The few remainin clothes which
Billy George had on, the shape and
color of his homely countenance, and a
badly left and lonesome look in his
eye give him all the general outward
appearments of a young man who had
swum the shaggy fork of Salt creek
where the water was ragin high and
muddy.
"Where have you been, Billy
George?" said I; "where have you
been, charmin Billy?"
"There was two town girls come down
to the station and tended the picnic"
says Billy George-which l had my
private opinions right then touehin the
great gobs of fun the boy had that day.
"And let me tell you, Uncle Rufus, they
was pritty as red shoes and blue stock
ins-but hot stuff and a heap of it.
you must recollect never have took
my stand and made my final restin place
around in the calico corner, but when
them two town girls come and picked
me out for native born idiot and put
in to have some fun they couldn't see
the snags ahead. They had their fun,
reckon, but | hadn't went off nowheres
and got my share whilst the show was
goin on.
Zone of them girls had fetched a
wheel, as she called it, and nothin would
do, but | must ride the blame thing
I told her I had rid most anything from
buckin mule to long-horn steer, and
[ would do my level durndest to ride
anything that anybody else had ever rid.
In the main time | had saw the girl
mount her wheel and go spinnin and
fyin around the picnic grounds as
smooth and easy as fallin off of a wet
log-whieh | didn't have no better sense
than to think it was as easy as it looked.
And it stood plum reasonable with me
that if a gay and gorgeous girl-with
all her frills and fxments and higgins
on-eould ride the thing so graceful Ike
and easy, it would be still more easier
for 4 boy like me, with only few plain
clothes ON, to make the mount and
scorch the wind as she called it,
$50 consequentially / made the
mount. But l didn't burn any wind to
speak of. The blame thing flew up be-
hind and before at the same time, and
instd of scorchin the native air plowed
hole three feet long in the fair bosom
of the native earth with my own native
face. Them town girls made out like
they was tremendous sorry-which at
the same time they laughed and cacl<led
and cackled and laughed till blamed if
one of 'em didn't jest simply fall down
and wallow in it. Well, / jined in with
'em and laughed some at my fool self
and made out like it didn't hurt much.

Adyices from Orc Blanco convey the intelligence that in the property of the Franco American Mining Co. q fine body of high grade copper ore carrying gold, has been recently struck. It is nine feet wide.
 At the Richardson rancho, just above Critsenden, on the line of the \. NJ. &. A. railway, Saturday morning of last week little daughter of Mir W. C. Thompson experienced a most miraculous escape from death or serious injury. The little one, who is scarcely two years of age, attempted to cross the track immediately in front the passenger train which was running rapidly down heavy grade. Engineer Schoonmaker immediately reversed his engine applying a full head of steam and turned into the brake syl- finders under the cars the full force of the air bringing the train to full stop witti I,its ownlength. Mr.Schoon- maker fully expected to find the child ground to pieces, but after the train had stopped the little oac crawled out from under the sleeping car, entirely unhurt, but yelling lustily. Conduc- tor Jack Woodrum lookup the little one and found her without scratch or bruise. The only way to account for her worderfut escape is Il theory that tlic child fell imnediatcly in front of the locomotive, and lay be. tween the rails while the engine and four cars pa sed over her.
