There is young man residing on
r,nch east of this city " hom we will call
Jones, who is so very bashful and timid
in the presence of ladies that he always
avoids them if possible. The other even

at his brothers house to spend an hour
or two with the family. They no sooner
got into the house than Jones sneaked
out the back door and crawled into
haystack. The girls, knowing his weak
ness and wishing to have some fun with
him, tracked him to his hiding place and
ood watch, expecting 10 round him up
when he came out. But Jones was too
sharp for them, and while the girls were
chatting away, telling what they would
do when they caught him, Jones was
digging his way through the stack from
which he soon emerged, and quietly
slipped away to his room, and was soon
fast asleep. The girls kept up their vigil
for several hours, and it was some time
